"(phone rings)" "I got this." "Oh, then we'll have two." "Just put it in the cart." "That one?" "Does it have marzipan in it?" "Yes." "Not this one." "Do we have coffee filters yet?" "Yes." "Everyone is already inside, see?" "Come, we'll run a bit." "Okay." "Let's see if the teacher is still there." "Yes, she is!" "We're late, sorry." "Hi, Kees." "Bye then." "Go with the teacher, then." "Are you coming, Kees?" "Bye." "I was in the Rosenstreet today." "Jeffrey applied adhesive plastic to his window." "He often feels someone is looking in." "At night, that is." "There we go." "Well, it's okay by me." "So..." "Well, shall we?" "Whoa!" "There." "Kees, you want the shark?" "No." "This one?" "I'm going to Zeeland region tomorrow." "Watching birds?" "Yes." "Early?" "Four o'clock." "They said..." "Until a man gets to here, is is already too late." "Because everything is clogged." "He tells them that it's their responsability." "They throw it in themselves." "Your language is really horrible." "Oh?" "My husband, he is Belgian." "Flemish... it is the same, right?" "He is trying to teach our son Flemish." "He is three years old." "At first he was trying it on me too, but I..." "Did they speak with all the farmers?" "We had lots of meetings." "I went up there many times." "It's strange how you get used to traveling." "I'm going from Fayoum to El Minya every three days, to see my boys." "My husband works at the hospital and my son is with him, at home." "They just dragged the canal." "The Waterboards take their own decisions how to devide the budget." "The only problem is that the money is still from the development program" "It will be over in a sec." "This has been happening like every day for two weeks." "I think we got a meeting tomorrow with the Director General." "Yeah, I saw it in my schedule" "Good." "Where is the guard?" "Thank you." "Sleep well." "Goodnight." "(Argh!" ")" "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "Anna van der Laan." "Verkerke." "I really appriciate you coming here." "I felt I should do so." "When is your flight?" "At six o'clock." "Six." "Would you like to come over to my home for a bit?" "I have to go get my son." "No problem." "No?" "I don't have a..." "I..." "Patricia was a... balanced woman." "She was a calm... woman." "I thought she was happy." "We won't be staying long there." "You always say that." "(father) How is your thesis going, Sebastiaan?" "I spend much time writing." "This writing of yours sure takes a lot of time, doesn't it?" "How long have your been at it by now?" "It's not easy, with the teaching at the same time." "Anna, how was your journey?" "I'm glad to be back." "What exactly did you do there?" "I went to see how well the new Water Boards were doing." "Soon, they'll build a real large irrigation zone in the desert... ..and I will be writing a report on that." "Irrigation for the desert?" "Excuse me, but that seems like a hopeless case." "It's good that these people can cultivate their lands, right?" "Yeah, real nice." "Wat will they grow then?" "Pipless grapes." "Pipless grapes?" "Well, I'm sure that's exactly what the people of Egypt need." "For export." "For us, then?" "So-colled foreign aid." "In my country, less and less people are working in agriculture." "The poor leave for the city and the rich go to Argentina." "And you came over here." "Does the dog really need to lie under the table?" "Please." "He smells." "Fred, come boy." "To your own corner." "What was the urgency?" "Well, urgency..." "Well, we were asked to come immediately, right?" "I want to sell the house." "You mean our house?" "Mom's huis." "Yes, so our house." "Hold it now." "Let me finish." "We, Mimi and I, have decided to move to Guernsey." "Jaime and Juan Pablo are still young." "Guernsey?" "An island near the French coast." "Yes I know where it is." "So, why Guernsey?" "I bought a house there last year." "Mimi and ik would like to settle there permanently." "That's why I thought selling the house to be a good plan" "Unless you would like to live here, obviously." "Guernsey, isn't that some sort of tax evasion paradise?" "So your reason for moving is to become even richer." "Ridiculous." "(Bobby) I can't believe he started on the Ph.D. thing again..." "When you were with me, he was constantly asking what you were doing as well." "Back then, I wasn't doing anything, really." "I don't think I even took classes then." "Obviously, that is because of my bad influence." "Luckily, Anna straightened you out." "If I had know that you turned out so cute then I would have never let you go." "Are they gone?" "They are gone." "They must have flown south." "Exactly." "I see one." "Where?" "All the way over there." "Where?" "But he keeps going below the water surface." "Below the surface?" "Birds can't go below the surface." "Some can." "Are you talking about water birds, or not?" "Yes, they dive in search for food." "Or kingfishers?" "Yes." "Those can handle just ice, not water." "I won't let it bother me, you know." "All of us in a neat row." "But you'll let it go..." "He won't listen to me, so you'll have to tell him." "You do agree with me, right?" "Isn't it ridiculous?" "Well, why won't you say it then?" "I'm always the one to tell it and you won't say anything." "Why won't you say it then?" "Hey, why won't you talk?" "Hello?" "Herman, someone's there." "Hello." "Yes, I'm doing fine..." "I am..." "I..." "I'm glad to be home again." "It didn't work out over there." "I couldn't eh..." "And I found a new mother for my son, eh?" "Any more coffee?" "No." "No, thanks." "Actually, I should be going." "Oh." "Yes." "I... eh, I was on my way to Brussels..." "Yes... yes." "I was passing through, so..." "Yes." "Yes." "Be careful, eh?" "Yes, watch it, don't break it." "Yes." "Try it, be careful." "Careful!" "How did these things ever get in here?" "There grew right here, sir." "Watch out for that pipe!" "Shouldn't you wake him up?" "He won't wake up until we get home." "Just like you when you were young." "In fact, I'm a very light sleeper." "Not in those days." "It was so hard to wake you that your mother could get scared." "Thanks." "Do you think of her, now and then?" "Did the two of you get to go the playground?" "Yes." "Was it busy?" "No." "Quite odd, because it wasn't that cold." "I'm going to bed." "How about you?" "I want to read for a bit." "Hey." "Hey." "I fell asleep." "Here you go." "When did you start smoking?" "I don't smoke." "Not really." "You have a pack." "I only smoke sometimes." "When I'm there." "Ouch!" "Sorry." "Loser." "Yes." "Very speedy, this plane." "Yes." "Shall we add another one here?" "All these flames coming out, can you see?" "And a bit here, like this." "And a bit there." "And a bit there." "And a bit there." "A bit there." "And here something small." "Look here." "Come on." "Let's eat now." "Won't you have any?" "No, I've already eaten." "Go on and eat, sweetie." "What's that on your trousers?" "O yeah..." "Jeffrey spilled his coffee." "He accidently pushed over his cup with his binocular." "Oh well." "Will you come over for lunch tomorrow?" "You forgot." "No, I didn't." "I'll be there." "Great." "Hey." "Hey, I done here." "Where are you?" "How did it go?" "Well, okay, great." "What did you talk about?" "Fruitflies." "Will you come?" "I'm still at home." "Oh?" "Well, I eh..." "I am still writing, quite a lot of work, really." "O, too bad." "Yes." "That's no fun." "At what time is your next class?" "Three o'clock." "I will go down town for a bit then." "Okay." "See you tonight?" "Sure." "Hey." "Hi." "Hey, little man." "What are you doing?" "Well?" "Wat is it?" "A car." "A very nice car." "Can I help you?" "Set the table." "Right here?" "Like that?" "Is it okay like that?" "Too bad I couldn't make it." "Yes." "I walk around the shopping center." "Didn't you buy anything?" "I was looking for Bowie's live performance, the BBC issue, you know..." "But they didn't have it." "We'll put your toys aside, like this." "Does this one go in the box?" "Did you have any lunch at all?" "No." "Yes actually, I had french fries from the place next to the HEMA." "Hey." "Hey, I am done here." "Did it go well?" "Yes, great." "Will you be going to Rosenstreet?" "Yes, I want to do some work." "Okay." "I'll see you tonight then?" "Okay." "Hey." "Hi." "How are you?" "Fine." "Do you want something to eat?" "Yes, I'd like that." "Didn't you order something?" "No, I thought..." "I'll eat later." "We have to talk." "The school asked me to work more hours." "But I'm not sure if I want to." "I mean, I want to have enough time for my own projects." "Yeah..." "No, throw it away." "Kees, that is corn." "I'll put this here, and you can put that behind it." "Do you want some?" "Look, I was thinking.. the red ones for you, Anna." "And the blue ones for your sister." "Then both of you can mark the objects that you would like to have by placing a sticker." "And if it turns out that a certain object has two stickers then I propose that you draw lots." "Well, that's horrible." "Stop with the negative attitude." "I think it's a fair system." "Oh, fair, you say." "Both of you will have first pick." "All else goes to our aunts." "Here... aunt Koos, aunt Wea and aunt Zus." "It's like you're already dead." "I won't draw lots, I'm not going to do that." "Listen, it's very simple." "You will have to divide some things." "But I refuse to play auction with you." "I'm going home." "Come on now." "Sorry." "We're not drawing lots." "For the thing that we both want, we'll divide those in deliberation." "Sebastiaan is involved with a woman at school." "How do you know?" "I saw them." "Through a window in Rosenstreet." "What were you doing there?" "Were you spying on him?" "No, that is nonsense." "I knew something was going on." "With you, I always know." "You were peeping." "Why aren't you surprised?" "Okay, he is cheeting." "But we all have our vices." "You knew." "He is a friend of mine, too." "He needed advice." "Why didn't you say something?" "That was between Sebastiaan amd me." "Not everything is about you, Anna." "You're not the center of the world." "Hey." "I thought I heard something." "Are you okay?" "Hey." "I thought you were sleeping over at Bobby's place." "Did you take a taxi?" "Did you have a fight?" "Will you sleep on the couch, then?" "Are you one of those drunk girls?" "Are you such a drunk girl?" "Sometimes, I miss you so much." "Hi." "Hello." "You came back?" "Yes." "Just recently..." "Oh." "At the hospital again." "You play well, darts that is." "Well..." "I should and say goodbye." "Yes..." "Will you come over to my place sometime?" "To have drinks?" "It would do me good." "I will." "No, that didn't last very long." "I'm glad though, that we separated." "It didn't work out." "And your son?" "He is at my sister's, in Mechelen." "Well..." "Thank you." "God!" "Sorry." "I didn't hear you." "Sorry." "I just phoned the airport." "I am a little worried." "Yes." "I don't know what's keeping her, either." "But I don't understand." "Why she doesn't call." "I hope nothing bad has happened." "She will surface again, sometime." "Oh, sorry." "Go on." "Thank you." "She is found back." "What a reception." "So concerned." "I'm really touched." "You could have told us." "Don't treat people like that." "Do you have to start nagging?" "I just arrived." "Ah!" "Here you are." "Were you hiding?" "You aren't glad to see me as well, I shouldn't have come at all." "This place is really lovely." "This place must be a real improvement for you." "Why does she act like that?" "This should have been a festive occasion." "I find it quite festive here." "I could use a drink." "How long did I sleep?" "About four hours." "Was it bad?" "Yes..." "No..." "What are we doing here, anyway?" "What happened?" "Nothing happend." "Nothing special." "I would like to go home." "Don't you feel like going home?" "Why won't you talk to me?" "I think I should cut my hair." "I like your hair." "Ah, come on!" "What was your name again?" "My.. my name?" "It's Bobby." "Bobby, I like your hair." "Yes?" "You do?" "Yes, Bobby has nice hair." "I like curls." "Oh, curls." "I have curls." "Yes, you have curls." "Hey!" "Are you peeping again?" "This is Juan, the gardener." "That's my wonderful sister." "Hi." "Hi." "This is my new boyfriend." "Nice name, don't you think?" "Juan the gardener." "Or do you want him, too?" "It's okay, take him." "You can't stay mad at me for the rest of your life." "Yes, I can." "No." "(humming)" "Press it, come on." "I think the connection is broken." "What was that, Bobby?" "Guys, don't act so silly will the sand." "It will end bad." "And across, yes." "Dad, you should start at the side." "Yes, that's what I've been telling, but they won't listen to me." "(cries)" "That woman..." "That woman at work that you've been seeing..." "I want you to end it." "Hey!" "Hello." "Hello." "This is doctor Verkerke." "I used to work with him in Egypt." "Hello." "Sebastiaan, my husband." "And this is my son, Kees." "I must go now 'cause I have to catch my flight." "Oh, yes, of course." "Bye." "Bye." "His wife just died." "Because of what?" "I don't know."
