"Are you staying at the hotel, too?" "Yes." "I'm marrying their brother." "Tears." "Excuse me." "I'll leave you alone." "Good evening, ladies." "I want to go to bed." "Me, too." "If it's really good, then cooking is like... love." "You get what you give." "This is Bo and Nino's answering machine." "Messages after the beep." "Thanks." "If you want to add that something special, go on!" "Even if it isn't in the recipe." "You have to feel it." "If your body says you have a different taste... then face it and don't deny your body." "The body never lies." "If you want to do something different... then do!" "Follow your intuition." "Do it!" "It's important." "felix, can I have your autograph?" "AII we can do is appeal to her conscience." "That woman doesn't have one." "We have to be really nice to her." "And also let her know we can't live without the hotel." "She can't be that hard!" "She must think we're really pathetic!" "We are." "I couldn't do that anymore." "Jogging!" "That looks fine." "It's lovely." "I have things to do." "I won't be long." "It would be a pity, wouldn't it?" "call me tomorrow between 9:00 and 10:00." "But...." "hello, darling." "Have you had sex with Sonja?" "Did she say that?" "No, she wrote it." "No, we haven't." "I've been in love with her for ages." "I never told anyone." "It looks so lovely." "Thanks, sisters-in-Iaw!" "I needed you." "I have to tell you something." "I think I'm pregnant." "Great, who's the lucky man?" "Your brother!" "Don't let Dorien in." "Or Louisa!" "No women at all!" "nelly, what did I say?" "Come on, man!" "I didn't dare to tell him." "Not in all those years." "Who?" "felix." "I just have to have the operation!" "And I want him back, real bad." "But he won't want me anymore." "If he's a real man, he'II love you as you are now!" "But I don't love me as I am now!" "Ever since I was small, I felt like a girl, not a boy." "I hate myself." "But Dad was the only one who knew." "Why do you think he made that will?" "What does this operation cost?" "Lots of money." "I'd do it." "sell the hotel and you'II have the cash." "Don't worry about Bo." "She undresses me with her eyes." "Don't feel sorry for women like that." "I don't know." "I can't get married." "Listen..." "Hugo and I don't want the hotel." "No nursery schools, no bars!" "A nightmare!" "Marry her, get divorced, sell the hotel and keep the money!" "Do it for us!" "Because you fucked up my puberty!" "That was 20 years ago!" "Don't be pathetic!" "You don't know what was going on!" "Daddy wasn't to know they were gay." "You were just used!" "felix didn't even fancy you!" "He must be grateful." "After fucking you, he really knew he was gay!" "I heard it all." "Your defIowering!" "Room 1 1 !" "You were terrible and cried, "Oh, oh, don't do that!"" "No, not without underwear!" "He could have done it with me." "It would have been beautiful!" "So 20 years later you fuck my Hugo!" "He fucked me, because you're so boring in bed." "You never want to have any fun." "So why does he live with me and not you?" "Why does he want a child with me?" "You think anyone ever wanted a child with you?" "You only think about yourself!" "Why don't you call back?" "I have something to tell you... something important." "Where the hell are you?" "I hear all these things and I...." "Just call me, please!" "Oh, Jan, I'm so sorry!" "I don't speak English... but your voice sounds very exciting!" "What are you looking at?" "Without experience, it's easy to frown on other's failings." "I'm not frowning." "Your brother made me pregnant and he's in love with felix delicious!" "You could have an abortion!" "It's no fun, but we could cancel it all." "So you can take the hotel!" "I'm not having an abortion!" "I'm marrying Nino... and with the hotel money, I'II raise my child alone!" "Yes, I'II wait." "You mean...." "Negative means it's okay?" "Yes." "Thank you, goodbye." "My husband wasn't a bon vivant." "He was stern and rusty." "He suffered from it, too." "You only have one life." "I don't believe in seIf-sacrifice, do you?" "darling!" "You look wonderful!" "And you organized it perfectly!" "hello, girls!" "Try and look cheerful!" "hello, Mom." "Goodness, you look awful." "What have you been up to?" "I found out felix hadn't been invited... so I put that right." "Mauricio!" "shall I...." "hello, darling!" "It's beautiful here!" "Your mother hardly slept." "I'm so nervous!" "He got really drunk last night, during the stag night!" "I'm Louis Van Loon, the bride's father!" "Yes, there they go!" "Hey, that has to wait!" "lovely..." "I narrowly escaped death." "really!" "Jan..." "I had a fling last night." "Here?" "It was to be expected." "You shouldn't say that." "You want to divorce me now?" "will you sit at the front?" "That would be nice." "Everyone find a place so we can start!" "Where's Nino?" "Sit down." "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome... to this unique location on the Portuguese coast." "My colleagues were very jealous when I set off for portugal today." "I had to promise to bring back a bucket of sand." "Bo and Nino have asked me not to talk about both their backgrounds." "That's a pity, because we had some good talks... and it struck me that Nino may be more melancholy... but Bo does try to see the brighter side of Iife." "For instance, Bo associates the word "mother" with love... while it made Nino think of bleach." "I didn't understand that until today!" "The couple keep each other in perfect balance." "The sisters have had their doubts... but Bo and Nino soon made me realize... this is true love." "Anyway, I can't say anymore... so let's get on with the official part of the ceremony." "will the couple please stand." "Bo Geertruida van Loon, born in Coevorden on January 13, 197 4... do you take as your husband Nino Hofstra... born in amstelveen, on February 28, 1968... for better and worse, in sickness and in health... as long as you both shall live?"

"He can give you a better blow job... and he's famous, too!" "I'm having your child." "I'II be a single mother." "A sad mom on benefits...." "You're right." "I'm a coward and a weakling... and I'm sorry." "How could I?" "I should have told you but I couldn't." "I still can't say it." "When I saw Nino's reaction at the opening, I knew... something had to be done." "When it comes to love, you have to use your brains." "You love Nino, and Nino loves you, right?"
