"Over here." "Answer it." "Damiaan speaking." "Thanks." "Bye." "And?" "I passed." "Terrific." "That's great." "Upstream" "Do you want some?" "Hey, Aleid." "Thank you." "Hand this out." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "Well done." "Yes, you did it." "This is Roel." "I'm Roel." "He and Rob had plans to play squash." "This is my sister." "Congratulations." "That's him." "Damiaan." "Nice." "They're for your son." "I thought I'd bring him along." "He just got divorced." "A bit sad." "He's captain of a barge." "Nice." "I'm Roel." "Congratulations." "Daam, get over here." "I'm so proud of you." "What did you get for math?" "B+." "But?" "Copied from someone." "Did you do it the way I told you to?" "Simon too." "It's awesome." "Works like a charm, right?" "Don't tell Mom, okay?" "Of course not." "Oh, sweetie." "Your Dad would have been so proud of you." "Those robbers?" "How do you call them?" "Pirates?" "Let's go." "What about my Mom?" "She's having a good time." "Just go." "I took out my gun..." "He sailed around the world by himself." "It was a flare gun." "I aimed it at that pirate and said..." "You know?" "The funny thing is:" "they turn around and leave." "Hey, son." "What will you do after the holidays?" "I'm not sure." "Just hang out." "Roel studied anthropology." "I need to ask you something." "Simon has tickets to a cool party for tonight." "I arranged this for you." "There's a nice man over there." "Right?" "You don't need me here." "What time will you be home?" "I don't know yet." "It's just like that au pair story." "She performed there." "It was that boat of yours." "I sold it." "So what?" "You need an electrical outlet for that." "It's joke." "Why is that a joke?" "Don't exaggerate." "I'm not." "Bye, sweetie." "Bye." "Roel, can we give you a ride?" "I'II walk." "Is it a long walk?" "The eastern harbour." "This one here." "It's a Kempenaar." "It's the biggest ship you can sail by yourself." "It belonged to a very Christian couple from Werkendam." "They were always cleaning it." "It looked great." "Even the shutters were still made out of wood." "Not any more, though." "Aluminium." "That's too bad." "Right?" "Well..." "It used to take 45 minutes to open and close them." "Now it takes less than a minute." "Do you want to have a look inside?" "I promised Damiaan I'd be home when he gets in." "Bye." "Thanks." "Bye." "Party." "Do come, okay?" "Are you asleep?" "How was it?" "Fun." "What's this?" "There's a party at the Rietveld." "Maybe I'II attend the Rietveld Art Academy." "How come?" "What time did you get home?" "Did you stay long?" "I've been in bed for hours." "What about that guy?" "What?" "That guy?" "I drove him to his boat, because it was too far to walk." "I just took him to his boat." "That's awful." "AII that yelling." "Stop it." "You're ruining it for me." "Sorry, turn it down then." "You've got ten more minutes." "And then?" "Then my first student arrives and you go upstairs." "Damiaan speaking." "Who?" "Oh yes, Roel." "I'II see if she's here." "Hold on." "I'm not sure." "I think she's out shopping." "Give it to me." "It's your captain." "You forgot your bag." "It was in the trunk." "You sound like..." "And he sounds like..." "This is cool." "I think this is going to be awesome." "It's great you're here." "I'II see you later." "Dude, do you know her?" "She lives here." "Here?" "Two beers." "That was terrific." "It was a great party." "Were you here last time?" "For sure." "I don't remember." "How does one end up here?" "You have to be sponsored." "Cool." "That's right." "Thank you." "I just can't recall that you were there." "I left early." "It was still fun when..." "I had to work the next day." "I'm coming." "Yes, I'm coming." "Later, Simon." "Are you awake?" "Would you make me a Russian omelette?" "I have to go." "I have an appointment." "I'II be home at about six." "With whom?" "Your bag." "Thank you." "Nice to see you." "Do you want to have a look?" "Be careful." "There's a lot of oil." "Lubricating oil." "Come on." "I have to pump out the lubricant." "What?" "Lubricating." "I'm taking off and that takes more than turning a key." "Why don't you come?" "Where to?" "I have to drop off a load early in the morning in Dordrecht." "Watch your ears." "Nice." "And?" "I have to make dinner for Damiaan." "It's beautiful at night." "I'm going by radar." "Yes, I've got it." "Yes, I will." "Have fun." "What?" "Of course, Mom." "Why would I?" "Bye, Mom." "Should I take off my shoes too?" "It's customary on a ship." "Guests put them outside." "The captain and his wife put them inside." "Is this all right?" "No." "Let's take it easy." "I agree." "Take me to the railway station." "I should go home." "Damiaan speaking." "Who?" "Yes, of course." "Desi." "I'm fine." "Fine." "I'm coming." "We have a vacancy and it was my turn to sponsor someone." "Didn't you want it?" "Where did you get my phone number?" "From Simon." "This is it." "It's a bit..." "There's no electricity yet." "It's awesome." "Do you want it?" "Yes, thank you." "Phone me if you need something." "I live on the fourth floor." "The key." "Thank you." "Sleep well." "You too." "How was it on the boat?" "Amsterdam North." "Well, room." "It's more like a..." "Through this girl." "It's a squat." "Yes, it's awesome." "Now?" "Today?" "Let's not do it today." "I just want to stop by." "Why not?" "Are you angry?" "I sense that something is up." "You're acting weird." "Okay." "Fine." "Bye." "6.55 euros, please." "I don't have enough." "I won't take that candy." "Anouk." "Hello." "Solent, this is the 'Phanta Rhei'." "I want to turn starboard." "Could you remain port side to port side?" "I want to pass, yes." "Have a safe trip." "Port side to port side." "Good." "Hold on." "It's busy today." "It's Ingrid." "I have to answer it." "It's about the kids." "Yes, it's me." "Could you be brief?" "Because I'm busy." "My child." "On Roel's ship." "For how long?" "Nice." "No, nothing." "Just because." "It's going well here in North." "I'm glad to hear that." "Take care of yourself, sweetie." "Bye." "Where are you?" "No, I just got home." "I don't get it." "Why didn't you wait?" "Why didn't you tell me?" "Is that how it works?" "Aren't you going too fast?" "How will you manage?" "With money, for instance." "Fine." "Bye." "Have you used a pallet jack before?" "Yes." "Could you take those boxes over there?" "Against the other ones?" "Yes, against those ninety." "Dude." "Is it straight?" "Thanks, man." "I need to get the hang of it." "A bit faster." "Push it forward." "Decouple it." "It's fine." "Would you like coffee?" "Yes, nice." "You're Aleid, right?" "And you're Vita?" "Hi, hello." "You sound sleepy, son." "It's 11 o'clock." "Right." "Sorry." "I'm on the ship." "I'm cooking tonight." "Will you join us?" "Get to know him then." "His children are here too." "Of course." "For the whole weekend." "It's fun." "Don't be like that." "How are you?" "Fine." "And you?" "Just great." "Bring them along." "Take it easy." "Are those four cards?" "Get another deck." "Yeah, sure" "Relax." "You're distracting me." "Can you help me take this inside?" "This one could be deeper." "Finish this one first." "Can you use my help?" "Yes, fine." "This is Eric." "I'm Damiaan." "This is Michel." "This should be deeper." "Why don't you sand it." "Sand it in circles." "Otherwise..." "Like this?" "Great." "Remember me when you're on Bali." "Will you send us a postcard?" "Don't forget." "Bye." "Have fun." "Wouter, come here for a minute." "You forgot someone." "It's okay." "Get back here." "Let it go." "He just needs some time." "It all takes time." "Why don't you come and live with me?" "Isn't that a bit soon?" "I don't want this to be casual." "Don't be an idiot." "I'm coming and you let me in." "Because I have to talk to you." "I have to talk to you in person." "See you shortly." "Jesus." "I'm on your doorstep." "Why not?" "I don't care if it's a mess." "Come downstairs then." "What's so important?" "Come and have lunch with me." "I'm barely awake." "I work the night shift." "Remember?" "What's wrong?" "You wanted to talk to me." "Can we sit down somewhere?" "Just tell me what you wanted to say." "I want to know if you're coming back home." "Roel asked me to move in with him." "Congratulations." "But only if you're not coming back." "You should do it." "I have to know for sure." "Why would you live there all by yourself?" "So you're not coming back?" "No." "Then you can take all our stuff, otherwise it just has to go into storage." "Why?" "There's no space for it on that ship." "So, chairs, table, couch." "I don't want it." "Cheese slicer, wok, that sort of stuff?" "I don't need it." "I'm going back to sleep." "This is for you." "Next time I'm coming up." "Are you okay?" "We got it down." "Right on time." "I overslept because of my job." "Is there anything left to do?" "It looks bare." "I've got something for you." "The drawings you made as a child." "What do I need with them?" "They're beautiful." "There's no storage onboard." "I have something else." "You already took that photograph." "I'm taking the other one." "You can hang it up in Roel's boat." "It's called a ship." "This house..." "Dad..." "AII those years are in us." "We carry them along." "Honey." "We're almost done." "Ask Rob to drive straight to the storage unit." "City Box." "Something like that." "No, hold on." "The piano goes to Mea." "Come and eat at our place with everyone." "No, I..." "I have to go to work." "Put that one at the back, please." "And now for this last little bit." "You can stand on anything." "Finally." "What will you do this year?" "I'm not sure yet." "I might want to go to the Rietveld." "You should." "First I have to be admitted." "What do you have to do for that?" "I'm leaving." "I'm taking the train for Delft." "Tomorrow my courses start." "Good luck." "Have fun here." "See you soon." "Have fun in Mexico." "Thank you." "Are you going to Mexico?" "For an internship." "With a friend of my mother's who is a painter in Mexico City." "For half a year." "Desi, champagne." "It looks great." "It does, doesn't it." "Don't." "Shall I help you with that laundry?" "Your hands are dirty." "What a wonderful surprise." "Nice." "Why did you come?" "Just because." "We're taking off soon." "We're going underneath the pipe." "Why don't you show him the ship?" "I'II start her up." "This way?" "No, over there." "Underneath the pipe." "It means: receiving cargo." "Do you want to see the engine room?" "Roel's pride." "The ship?" "Come on." "Take your shoes off." "That's customary on a ship." "I'm not taking them off." "Be a sport." "Take them off." "This is our bedroom." "Bathroom." "It's quite small." "That's cosy." "There's not a lot of room for you." "What do you do here?" "What do you do all day?" "Honey, come and help me." "I'm going to cast off." "Damiaan, are you coming with us?" "No." "It's fun." "You'll like it." "I have to work." "Fine." "I have to give you something." "You forgot it." "I have no use for it." "It's yours." "I really don't want it." "Bye." "Bye." "Bye, Mom." "Don't do that." "It's dirty." "Don't touch it." "You act like a baby." "It's mine." "Let go off it." "Come on." "Then stop it." "It's my mouse." "Guys, shouldn't you get dressed?" "Give it here." "Stop doing that." "Let go off it." "Just give me that thing." "You've been playing with all the time." "Give it back." "They're your kids." "Spend some time with them when they're here." "Pay them some attention." "I've been a mother for 18 years." "I'm done." "Dad, Wouter took my stuffed animal." "Come sit on my lap." "Turn it clockwise, or you'll get kinks." "That's what I'm doing." "There's no one here." "It's Sunday." "When will they take the freight off?" "Tomorrow morning or afternoon." "Don't the kids have to go to school?" "We should go back." "They're on holidays." "They're staying for a few days." "Why don't I know that?" "I don't have to consult you." "Now straight again." "Well done." "Going somewhere?" "I'm going outside." "What's wrong, honey?" "Sweetie." "I needed my own child." "Could you put me on land?" "Of course." "It should be smooth." "It takes time." "Let me in." "I'm not leaving." "Only if you keep your eyes closed." "Come on." "Then I won't." "Come in." "Hi, sweetheart." "Keep them closed." "Be careful." "Do you want some tea?" "Yes, please." "It's cold here." "You think so?" "It smells musty." "Do you have a piercing I'm not allowed to see?" "Or a tattoo?" "I have a gigantic swastika on my forehead." "What's that suitcase doing here?" "Such sweet drawings." "I'm an adult." "Why do I need them?" "Because." "We have no room for them." "I have no room for them either." "Grow up." "Clean up that mess if you're such an adult." "Sweetie..." "If the scholarship for the Rietveld is not enough, we'll come up with something." "I don't know yet, but it will be fine." "If you want to go to school, I'II help you out." "That's very nice." "Thank you." "Do you know what you'll be doing on your birthday?" "Nice." "On the boat?" "Who's coming?" "And those kids?" "I'm not sure yet." "I have to think about it." "I'II think about it." "Bye, Mom." "Did you forget to tell me something?" "Really?" "You have no idea how happy that makes me." "Around six o'clock." "Or seven." "You may come earlier." "Bye, sweetheart." "Where's that joint?" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "What's wrong?" "I just don't get that boat." "It's just not her, that boat." "The Bear Boat." "Hey, man." "I saw you." "There you go." "Cheers." "Whose wine is that?" "Mine." "Absolutely not." "You can't have alcohol." "Have some juice." "I heard him play." "Just great." "Then I thought I'd take my saxophone to the Bee." "That would create a special mood." "I'm going to try that." "I can imagine." "Do you want some wine?" "White, right?" "What time was he going to be here?" "He didn't say." "But he'll be here." "Cheers." "Do you want a chicken wing?" "Have a safe trip home." "You promised you'd be there." "You didn't even call." "How do you think that makes her feel?" "I just forgot." "Do you really believe that?" "It's that stupid boat." "It isn't just all fun and games for her." "She's stuck there with two unfamiliar kids and she misses you." "Is she angry?" "She misses you." "Sweetie." "It all happened too fast between the two of you." "Look who's here." "Is my Mom here?" "Come on in." "I forgot your birthday." "Sorry." "I want to make it up to you." "What's that?" "An all-inclusive railway trip." "To Antwerp." "For two people." "Next weekend." "We can't make it next weekend." "We have the kids." "It's for us." "That's great." "Expensive." "How did you get the money?" "I have a job." "You go and have fun." "I'II take care of the kids." "It's a tough job." "My feet were always wet." "I wore waterproof shoes." "You did?" "I didn't go back after I hurt my arm." "What happened?" "I dislocated it." "Dislocated?" "I didn't know." "It wasn't that bad." "It popped right back in." "Who did that?" "Where did you go?" "The company doctor." "Some lady." "Never mind." "Fine." "What about the Rietveld?" "Do you have to submit something?" "What is this?" "Boy oh boy." "Turn it around." "Take out the bones." "AII the way?" "What are you looking at?" "You never taught me this." "I told you a hundred times, but you kept saying you knew how to do it." "We're having dinner." "Just turn it off." "I'II tell him I'II phone back." "Hi, honey." "I'II phone you back." "Did you take her temperature?" "You did?" "In that cupboard above the countertop." "Will you turn it off now?" "Vita is ill." "He has to steer the ship and can't do anything." "I'm not there to help." "Shall we go and have a vodka in one of those redneck bars?" "That was good." "Really?" "That's great." "Where are those bars?" "It looks rednecky over there." "I want to know how it's going." "I'II be quick." "Better." "Good." "Give it to me." "Are you nuts?" "Give it back." "We were going to spend time together." "Choke on it then." "Get out of my sight." "I want to break off all contact and cut the umbilical cord." "That seems like a good idea." "Fine." "Bye." "Good luck." "You play bass guitar, right?" "I want to go to Tenerife." "Have you booked the trip yet?" "Have you booked it yet?" "Tenerife?" "We always go there." "When?" "During the holidays." "It's a tradition." "Have you rented the same cottage?" "The very same." "I promised." "Why don't you ask what I want?" "I might want to go just with you, or travel." "Listen." "They couldn't make it last year, because of Bali." "They look forward to it." "It's a tradition." "Can I help it?" "When are you going?" "You?" "Is it 'you' all of a sudden?" "You're coming, aren't you?" "Four weeks." "Four weeks?" "You could have discussed that with me." "I have to do that with Ingrid already." "I'm trying my best." "I can't do this." "I can't be around your kids for four weeks." "You know what?" "Suit yourself." "Without my own kid, I mean." "Good afternoon." "Can I get you anything?" "No, I'm fine." "How about if I travel around Spain for the first two weeks?" "Then the kids have you to themselves." "Then I'II fly from Malaga to Tenerife... to spend the last two weeks with you guys." "Well, honey." "Have a good time." "You too." "Your shirt." "What?" "It's inside out." "The collar." "I'II phone you when I get there." "In just two weeks I'II be there too." "I'II phone." "Bye, sweetie." "Keep an eye on Damiaan without him noticing." "Phone me if something's up." "Sure." "Try and enjoy yourself." "Without him noticing." "Thanks for the ride." "Bye, sweetie." "Let me help you." "How was it?" "Great." "I didn't sleep at all on the plane." "Get a good rest." "Shall I cook for you tonight?" "What time?" "Seven o'clock?" "Things were fine in Mexico City." "When we were travelling around and got to Guatemala, we were robbed." "Jorge lost everything, including his toothbrush." "Is that Jorge a nice guy?" "Yes, very nice." "Don't you miss him?" "He's coming here soon." "It's great to see you again." "What's wrong?" "It's very hot." "That's awesome." "I've thought about you a lot." "What about Gurgle?" "Are you jealous?" "It's a great guy." "Jorge." "He's charming and funny." "He's a great dancer." "You'll meet him when he gets here." "He's gayer than gay." "You're mean." "Sweetheart." "You're early." "Aren't you on the beach yet?" "What's up?" "What do you mean?" "Pardon?" "What are you saying?" "Mea?" "It's not going well." "I'm not allowed to come." "He doesn't want me to come." "Ingrid is there." "She went there." "His ex." "She wants to try again." "For the kids' sake." "I'm flying back home." "I'm not allowed, because she is there." "For the kids." "I still have three days here." "Don't tell Damiaan." "He wants to lead his own life." "What am I to do, Mea?" "What am I to do?" "We need to turn it over." "How do you mean?" "Turn it." "What's wrong?" "What is this?" "I've come to get you." "I've come to get you." "Come here." "You'll be fine." "Look, this is what I did." "It's beautiful." "And to think I didn't know." "That's bad." "Did you hear anything yet?" "I didn't get in." "But I took a test for the conservatory of music." "I did." "And?" "I went well, but I haven't heard yet." "That's great." "What did you have to do?" "First solfège..."
