"Duncan Stutterheim wasn't even 20 years old when he started a company with some friends in 1992 and organized his first successful house party." "Fifteen years later, IDT has grown into an entertainment empire with Trance Energy, Thunderdome, Mysteryland and Sensation as some of the world's leading dance events." "In addition to restaurants and a lifestyle magazine lDT also owns the radio station SLAM!" "FM." "Here with me is Duncan Stutterheim." "On Thursday, he lost his brother in a car accident." "On behalf of all our Slam!" "FM listeners, please accept my condolences." "I don't really knowwhat to say, so tell us what you're feeling." "I feel extremely sad, but also very very happy, very warm." "After the memorial service, I was really blown away." "He came over me like a warm blanket." "That's howl woke up this morning." "I realized it wasn't a dream." "My father always said to followmy gut." "I always will, and I always have." "But if there was someone who followed his gut, it was Miles." "He only followed his gut." "I can't explain why I'm sitting here laughing full of energy, in good spirits and with faith in the future that I'm not afraid." "And that I'm saying goodbye." "Purely from his physical presence." "But that he'll always be with me." "Always." "Always together, always going for it all." "Duncan Stutterheim CEO, IDT" "The least they could do is say, "Welcome to Trance Energy."" "That's no good!" "I'm gonna give 'em hell." "You can't do that." "It's just no good." "Armin van Buuren." "Oh no, sweetie." "I need a rag." "Oh no, sweetie." "It doesn't matter." "No, don't walk in it." " I want to put this on." "Which one?" "Want to put that on?" " Yes." "All gone." "No, that's a leotard." "You can't wear that." "Put a sweater on." "I don't want to put on a sweater." "This doesn't stay up." " It doesn't stay up?" "Is it too big?" " Yeah, it's big." "Then we have to get another one." "You want some cereal?" " Can I have it with honey?" "Who wants ginger tea?" " Me." "That's enough, June." " June, stop." "You have to put the cap on." " No, you twist it shut." "It's on at seven-thirty." " Seven more minutes." "Start?" "What time is it on?" " Seven-thirty." "We can watch here." " Start, right?" "BAS attorney-at-law" "Hey, sounds great." " It's fabulous." "ERIC CEO, Sensation" "JEROEN creative director" "IRFAN CEO, Sensation International" "Howlong is it now?" " 2 minutes." "I think Black is better." " And for the cinemas?" "They're being made now." " One minute long?" "For White and Black?" "Pretty cool, huh?" " Two separate ones?" "Two separate ones, right?" " Yup." "We often jumped into a gorge from really high up." "We never knewwho'd go first." "I just knowhe'll say, "OK, this is do-able."" ""You go first."" "You get it?" "He tells me:" ""You can do it." "You can pull it off!" "Go for it!"" "He always had that role when we were in a group of eight." "Who'd go first?" "The first one can't go." "He has to let himself fall, see what the jump involves." "The same for the second and the third..." "And I just knowhe'll play an important role, by saying "Dunc..."" ""..." "OK." "Or Dunc, no."" " So he'll protect you?" "Yes." "What a fucking mess, man." "Lose your suitcase or something?" "Starting at 18 and Miles at 14, we were always laughing, boozing, pigging out the both of us at least 10 kilos overweight." "Miles and I were always the fat guys." "I was the schmoozer, I talked the talk, played the field." "But he he was behind the scenes." "And... he became the James Dean." "I acted like..." "You know?" "But he..." "I live on the edge, but I reflect sometimes, too." "I'd go for things." "But he..." "Whew, he just went." "He had no limits?" " None, never." "What was in your e-mail?" "Jeroen, your e-mail?" "That was about Sensation Special Treatment." "Let's go back five years." "Name three things that have remained with you." "Of what we've done?" "Look back at the past five years." " Churches religion, Greek..." "Three things." "If you close your eyes and reopen them." "This, this and this." "That really..." " Just wow, that's Sensation for me." "The capsules with people inside that descended from the catwalk." "And for me personally, last year's Megamix." "I'd say Shiva second, the dress code:" "White, the first time..." "A huge impact." "And I also thought "Flames" was..." "Irfan?" " Fire ball..." "By "ball," you mean..." "Just that sphere, that white sphere." "That's burned into my memory." "So fire..." "No, that's it for me." "As a real topic?" "How can you only pick three?" "You see it differently." " Does it matter?" "What I want nowis a gut reaction." "One, two, three:" "This, this and this." "You're already thinking." " But I see it watching the DVD, Dunc." "So what?" "The DVD, great." " Watching the DVD, there's Megamix explosions with fire at Black and the white clothing, that's Sensation for me." "The cocktail bar." "Which one?" "When the people all come in and the hall suddenly turns white." "That's just beautiful." "But apart from that..." "That was it." " No DJ?" "And as for theme?" "None." "And if you want to see the peepshow, you can on Slam!" "FM." "Theoslamfm." "Nl, or go to the website:" "Thecreepshow." "Nl, there you'll find tons of information about our show." "Say the name of the album as well, Theo." "I don't knowwho all those stupid artists are." "News?" " After this presentation, yes." "Is that newfor you?" " News?" "What kind of news?" "The news!" " What news?" "It's almost 5 PM." "Fuck, we're running out of material!" "Right?" "I'd wait for the February ratings." "In a month, we'll get the Slam!" "FM ratings." "On Thursday, I think." " No, that's the January ratings." "With the February ratings, we'll have a really clear picture." "Can you ask Michel to come up?" " We'll stop with radio we'll look for a buyer and then we're going 100%%% ." "Then we'll do parties exclusively." "And 100%% % for Sensation." "Let's give that a try." "And?" "Did you sell it?" "Yeah, we sold it already." " Out from under your ass." "I love it!" " Have a seat." "That's good." "I love it." "Are you really happy?" "You really think it's a good idea to sell?" "You have 4.9%% % in it, so..." "No, I believe in Slam!" "FM." "We want to get rid of it." "Completely?" "Seriously?" " Yup." "Then I guess I have to buy you out." "I still believe it can succeed." "But listen I also understand that in the whole..." "Sensation is really we can take it abroad." "If we don't, we're stupid." "Bas and I both have that feeling." "I just want to sell Sensation throughout the world." "Sensation around the world, that's my ultimate dream." "Unfortunately, I'm just not getting to it." "I spend half of each day dealing with bullshit." "Radio just isn't my thing." "400 liters of shit fell over his headl" "Theo..." "Stutterhelm." "Everythlng OK?" "I see it two different ways:" "I want Slam!" "FM to succeed but I also want the financial bullshit to stop." "That does have to stop." " I said that, didn't I?" "So I said that." " Yes, It can't continue." "Then you put your business at risk and you won't last." "I don't want that." "Cannot, may not, won't!" "Perlod." "So we'll continue with those talks..." "We already called three parties." "And the Americans with those parties..." "Clear Channel called." "And..." "SBS." "SBS will..." "Maybe they'll do It after all, Dunc." "I really hope so, but preferably, I want to keep radio separate." "We believe we stand strong, but it takes time." "You have to find someone who trusts you." " They'll either go for lt, or they won't." "Then there's Van den Ende, who offers to buy up a quarter of your business." "You can think about that, as long as you keep a majority." "I know, but..." "Debts are piling up and the bank's getting pissed." "They want an answer now." "Who doesn't?" "And they want to have their bills paid." "IDTls getting a bad name." " No, that can't happen." "Cor Stutterheim, Duncan's father" "Well, I guess I have to sneak one in." "Don't tell the neighbors." "Splash!" "Duncan's first party." "The Final Exam?" "I remember it well." "I was there, too." "I didn't do much, just looked around." "And helped to finance it back then." "He paid me back." "That's where the initials come from." "The "I," the "D" and the "T"." "Irfan, who's still there." "Duncan, of course." "And Theo, but he pulled out pretty quick." "And the three of them needed a little start capital." "Well, little it was really a substantial sum." "So the three families pooled their resources." "More people came than were expected." "I think about 12,000." "Back then, that was an unusually large number." "And afterwards, we experienced lots of their parties." "My wife and I." "The chairman of the board of CMG moonlighting in the bathroom at a party." "Handing out licorice and peppermints." "A cash business is a delicate one." "So we wise old parents said, "Wouldn't it be better if we kept tabs on the money?"" "You wouldn't believe howmuch people pee at a party like that." "At least, at a euro a head..." "That's a lot of money." "Howmany tickets have been sold?" "Sold out!" "None are left?" "Unbelievable." "250." " 7,500!" "During the party, we had four or five sprained ankles." "If not broken, because a stage has a pretty scary step down." "The worst was 10 or so who took too many pills, or who knows what." "At the dinner table, we always said, "You have to start for yourself."" "So they started thinking logically from a young age." "It was what we instilled in them." "I explained that to them." "We always discussed business at dinner." "Gains and losses, pros and cons." "And a bit of entrepreneurship." "Duncan picked it up easily and Miles was right behind him." "I don't see Duncan working for others." "I have less." "This one's nice and light." "That's my hand luggage." "My walkman!" "From 1941." "There's someone with a big nose at the counter..." "Sure is a hot little lady." "Hi, Mick." "Puerto Rican." "For him, Miles wasn't only his brother he was his confidant." "He had him to test his ideas and to help him think, for he had other concerns than other people you talk to." "Even in your company, they have their own situations, different backgrounds, interests other things on their minds." "Miles and Duncan were two peas in a pod." "The idea of Sensation, of bringing it into an arena that was really both their idea." "The first Sensation was not white yet." "It was a mix." "But Miles's funeral was all in white." "That's how Sensation White came into being well, from that came a unity an experience, and now Sensation is a phenomenon." "Are you coming down, or should I come up?" "Wanna eat a quick sandwich first?" " OK." "You made them yourself?" "Look, the chairman of the board." "How are you?" " Chill." "Want something to drink?" " Uh... coffee." "And some water." "Can I grab a sandwich?" " Of course." "Argue a lot with the neighbors, Armin?" "Just one note that makes people go, "Oh yeah!"" "Can you do that?" " What?" "At a given moment, people go..." "Build up the suspense, so people knowwhat's coming." "You knowwhat's coming, there's nothing to hide." "And if you just play one note..." "And they'll all go, "Oh!"" " Then you go back?" "Then you just do this for a while." " Only this." "Then you stop for a sec, and you do a little..." "It's really important that we build up the excitement." "If we try to make a real party out of this with a DJ so that people actually hang around this time so that we really do our best to make something great out of this." "Because that backfires every year." " It really is Outer Siberia here, no?" "The disadvantage is that the party's in there." "That's where the fireworks and the DJ's are, that's where the atmosphere is." "This whole area should be..." "That's all right, isn't it?" " Yeah, but people stand here and they come by to go to the halls." "Do you want to decorate the decks?" "That didn't work out so well last year." "Or do you want some plants and chairs there?" "We can use a lot of Mozart." "It's just..." " It has something very melodramatic." "Lucky that I improvise." "That really helps." "The crowd gets the feeling, "Wow, they're doing it for me!"" "Just waiting and waiting." "That's great, you can start the third time with that." "The longer you wait, the crazier they get." "And after ten minutes, bam!" "Hey, Dunc!" "Good." "The guys are making a plan." "You have to talk to Jet about the invites." "How do you want to do that?" "You wanna pay for all the drinks?" "200 VIPs and you're paying for it all?" "200's on the high side." "Eric says 150." "Yeah, 200's too much." "What are you up to?" "Is that song with Jan Vayne done?" "We're going to the studio next week." "He doesn't knowyet." "This past weekend, I told him we were enthusiastic that we want to go ahead with it, and go to Germany if necessary." "He can do it in Germany as well." "He'll be there." "But does Armin know that we want to do this song?" "In Germany, they're worried it's too trancy." "Because the market there..." "But let's talk about that tomorrow." "Too trancy..." "It's just a good song for the showthere." "Paul van Dyk and Carl Cox..." "I can't get anywhere with these people." "It's the cultural difference." "You'll encounter it on a regular basis." "I hope we don't have to have arguments like this all over the world." "I refuse." "I completely agree, but you don't get..." "People think, been there, done that." "You can't do what's been done before!" "Carl Cox has spun ten times at the Mayday." "What..." "Don't tell us." " But I just got... as if I was the crazy one." "For them, we Dutch don't matter." ""But here in Germany..." I can't bear it anymore." "They can take a hike." "If we make things a bit smaller, for example like this..." "That single thing there provides dance light for this zone." "Man, I like it that big." "This is that newthing." "Denis says it's decent." "He knows the price of that newmid-stage." " Of the dome, too?" "On one wall, things are happening." "What's happening on the other wall?" "You have this gate through the entire hall." "It goes all the way to the front." " The walls are all brown." "So you'd put this through the middle of all the halls?" "I get it..." "But to do all the walls like that, I don't think it's financially feasible." "So you have to go for a solution like this, right?" "There's no question that the windows have to be done differently." "I'll showDunc, too." "He would've been here, but..." "This is it?" "I'll explain it to you." "You'll like this." "You take the escalator up, and it all turns black and there's a robot shooting laser beams..." "So with the laser, and the escalator sound, they can hear strange stuff." "This could be, but no, because we're going to cover the windows, a robot outside or an astronaut that hangs outside." "Outside the windows." "What you can do is make holes, as if you're in a spaceship." " But then light will come through." "That's no big deal." " But then the hall's light at 6 AM." "That's OK." "The last hour." " Yes, but I don't think..." "We have four halls." "Why's it a problem?" "Then they want this... because there's not enough money to do all the walls..." "Who decided there's not enough money?" " We're sticking to a budget." "That outside thing's really great." " OK, but Eric didn't want it." "Eric doesn't have the last word." "Let's all talk about it together." "That's what we're doing." "I don't understand why you don't want it." "We have four halls." "That doesn't matter." " We can have one with light, no?" "Let's all get together to see what everyone wants." "Sander still has to see it as well." "I think the curtains are weak." "Those halls have to..." "OK, but that'll be more expensive." "I'll have a look at it." "Mommy's going to a birthday party." "Get your stuff." "This is good." "No, wait a sec." "Can I have this one?" "Oh, dummy!" "What a mess." "Can I help you with the fork?" " No." "Wanna try with chopsticks?" "Miles was my anchor." "I was the guy who was always working on newthings, thinking and doing." "Ultimately, he followed my example." "Slam!" "FM was completely his." "Slam!" "FM was Miles's project." "He put everything into it." "His only concern was if it was real, if it was tough enough." "He was that for me." "In the second sentence of the next paragraph the commissioner of the media indicates that Slam!" "FM has been playing far too much Top 40 music." "They're gonna pursue it." "Especially where the rights are concerned." "If you put this beside the 284..." "Our permit says a radio edit doesn't count as a hit." ""Even if it resembles the original." Here, they say it has to be different." "It's so made up." "For the average listener." " Just made up." "I have to go over it very carefully." "It's clear." " Yeah, but with a letter like this..." "They wanna take it to court." "We'll use Article 284, which says the exact opposite." "OK then, to court it is." "With this in hand, we're gonna go talk to some parties." "SBS is the most important, let's talk to them first." "That's howit is, so let's move on." "Careful, June." "Watch out." "Keep going." "Careful taking the corner there." "Watch out." "I'm not jumping in." " No, I'll do it." "Not very good, huh?" " No." "Let's see what she does." "Can't do that." "He said the guy had a hidden agenda and he wasn't crazy about Harry, either." "I understand that, but you have to be able to show something." "SBS was curt." " Why?" "So the answer's no." " No?" "What did he say?" "He sounded sorry." "But he said they'd only buy a radio show with lots of potential, that's gonna be big." "Of course lt'd really be a stock market purchase." "Then he used us to bargain with Radio 538." "I don't exclude lt, but..." "See you at the office." "They don't want to?" " They think it's unclear." "Stutterhelm." "SBS isn't happening." " No?" "They were my number-one choice." "You never knowwhat their agenda is." "I just don't know." "It's really too bad." "I thought they were a good party." "They were." "But If they don't want lt, that's lt, right?" "I understand it, but it was just a little..." "It took a little bit too long." "It's disappointing after all." "You need money In the bank, there are bills to pay." "On to the next potential buyer." "We'll see what happens next week." "The point is that the deal with SBS fell through today so that's very concretely 6 million euros." " Yes, exactly." "This is the second time that this has happened." "And afterwards, we think, oh boy!" "It's also because our financial people aren't all that financial." "They also appear to..." " Radio is our Waterloo." "You knewlast year when you wanted to sell it." "Nowit's a year later." "That means 2 million down the drain." "In retrospect, it's so easy." "So much time, money and energy has gone into it." "All the success we had and the money we earned has all been pumped into that." "I went along with it for a long time." "It's also my company in part." "But if 12 years go by and you haven't earned anything, then you're bankrupt." "Because you just can't pay the bills anymore." "Then you have to ask yourself what you've been doing all this time." "Building an enormous company, one that maybe helps the IDT brand but financially speaking, it only lost money." "It wouldn't matter if we already had millions in the bank but for us, that's absolutely not the case." "These are tough times we're in." "But with Dunc, it's really hard to to convey that to him." "He's so convinced of his vision, where we should be headed that it's pretty hard to get in the way, I guess." "In the company, Dunc always has three or four allies." "I'm often on my own." "I just told Bas that I've never seen him contradict Dunc." "He answers back, but in the end he manages to convince him and he follows him." "That's why we need to move to another decision structure." "This can't continue, we have to resolve to do it differently, before he forgets it's an issue once again." "No." "Just an independent, strong financial guy who tells you..." "I think all your stories are great, but..." "Luckily Duncan's father still believes in it but it's upsetting for him, too." "My father is one of the best managers in Holland." "There are no flies on him." "He sees right through peoples' tales." "He weighs the factors and comes to a conclusion in no time." "That drives me crazy." "He's always right." "Then you feel like a little boy, and you don't want to." "My father knewit was gonna happen." "My mother said, "We expected it two months earlier."" "You doing all right, guy?" "You're the man." "Real fans." "I have fans." "Never had that happen." "I thought it was a joke." "The trick Is to see how much we need to keep the creditors off our backs." "He'll get everything above 30,000 from the radio." "We're reasonable people." "Well, otherwise..." " The numbers speak for themselves." "And look Into which debtors can pay sooner." "Arjen has to do that, too." "I have the feeling he's smart but not all that experienced." "We'll stay on top of it." " Put money Into lt." "But now you're at your best." " We'll do it." "You're always at your best In times like these." "Do I need to do anything else?" "Not today, huh?" "No, no." "That was important, that everyone stays alert." "And that you're on top of lt, that It's your highest priority." "It is, for me and for Michel." "Make sure you maintain continuity." "There also have to be funds to pump Into Sensatlon Mysteryland." "But that's not where the problem lies." "If we get rid of all the extras, it'll be easy." "Are you tired?" " Yeah, pretty." "Don't do anything exorbltant." " I won't." "I'm heading home soon." "You'll get past this, Dunc." "Absolutely." " We will." "Just persevere." "You have to be as hard as nails." "For everyone who's to blame foryour debtors and your creditors." "It all comes down to keeping them off your back." "I'll make a newplan of attack right away." " OK." "Rough." "I'm gonna get myself way more involved, to get more feeling for what the bills are doing and what it all means." "Let's all three of us get together tomorrow." "Can you meet tomorrowmorning at 9?" "Yeah, I'll see if I can change around my workout." "The whole staffwill be here at 9." " You decided to go through with it?" "Or do you want to postpone it?" "We can postpone it a week." " Yeah, do that." "Postpone it until next week." "Otherwise, we only have half of the story." "Afterwards, we can deal with the radio situation." "You have to talk to your father to make a decision about that." "All right then." "I'd like to keep Martijn instead of Niels." "I don't knowEsther at all." "I'd keep her on for two or three weeks." "On a trial basis, then we can decide what we want." "Undecided." "You can decide about Naafje." " Keep her for now." "She has a contract until..." "Until the end ofJune." "Yeah, but I wouldn't plan on renewing it." "Danny..." " Is out." "Brenda." " Out." "We're gonna give the best parties in the world." "It's about time." "And the rest of them:" "Gone." "Lately, I've gotten so annoyed by..." "We can't help but notice that we're the big money machine here." "But that we can't even pay our own suppliers." "That drives me crazy." "For God's sake, how can I buy and arrange everything so cheap, if those people are always saying:" ""We're not so sure we like having you as a customer, because it takes six to nine months for me to get my dough."" "They served as Slam's financiers." "That's not working for us anymore." "DUNCAN = BOSS" "I have to pep myself back up." "I'm tired." "What a crowd." "Good morning, everyone." "As you've noticed, some things have happened this week." "We have problems." "To begin, I want to..." "I thought, new start for the company, newhaircut." "We're gonna be heading in a new direction." "The most important event of the week is that IDT's whole board unraveled." "Resigned or however you want to put it." "And..." "I'm the boss once again." "Of course, most of you want to knowwhy." "We're just having trouble focusing the company on certain things." "It's hard for the bookkeepers, too." "Doing one thing is different from doing four." "We can't put 100%% % into everything we do right now and that's really frustrating." "We ended up on a sort of trip, with the idea that at IDT everything goes, the sky's the limit, we're the most successful company on earth." "It's nice that we radiate that, but if you face reality it simply isn't the case." "The bottom line is we're moving ahead with a staff of 25 or 26." "As for that crap about laptops I really don't want to hear it." "That's a difference:" "That it's my job again that I'm back." "I heard stuff that really made me think..." "Don't you get it, people?" "Even if your party earned a lot, even then as a group, times are tough." "Stationary?" "No." "Couriers?" "No." "Laptops?" "No." "Anything else?" "No one?" "Yo." "TheNew Revue just published another shitty article in their fantastic magazine." "The headline reads: "Duncan's Last Dance?"" "Be right there." " OK." "Here it is." "Let's see." "TheFat Revue." "IDT, market leader in the Dutch dance scene and estimated to be worth 500 million, according to consultancy firm KPMG has increasingly fewer reasons to be partying." "They just keep hacking away, huh?" "RevueandQuote, for the first timeQuote wrote a piece..." "Quote recently had a talk with Michel about radio and then a piece like that appears, and you're put in with the losers." "Miles bought a car that really..." "I had a normal Porsche, he had a convertible." "That was the car." "He never complained about it, but in the last two weeks, he says he wants to call it quits." ""My car has to go." "I don't feel good in it anymore."" "I told him I'd sell mine and take his." ""Why don't you feel good in it?" I asked." ""I drive too fast, it's not my thing," he said." "He felt that something was wrong." "He felt it!" "I woke up this morning with the feeling that he was really with me..." "I'm with him and he's with me, and we're completely together." "It's important that we have a good time, in his memory." "I'd just like to take a moment..." "I want to grasp that... you know..." "He's nowup there..." "Of course I'll manage to." "Cheers, Miles." "I didn't knowhim very well." "I truly believe he thought it was strange that you decided to take things in another direction, in his eyes." "Something he might have done as well, but I think that he really had to get used to that." "I think that we'd both accepted it in the four months that Miles and I were both there." "That morning, Dunc called to tell me his brother was dead." "I went over to his place and I put some coffee on for you and then I put a note on your bed you guys were all so sad, but you were all going to listen to music so I said, "Decide if you want me with you or not, but I'm leaving now."" "And then the phone rang at 3 AM and from that moment on we were together." "Afterwards, you went completely wild." "Well, because he..." " It was really an eye-opener." "All at once, the floor falls out from under you but your eyes open up." "Well, travel, and love, and and then I realized, "Shit, I've never been alone in my life."" "Wouldn't you like..." "That's when the urge came to the surface in me." "Then Lisca gave me a book." "The Alchemlst." " The Alchemlst." "About a shepherd looking for something." "On his way, he meets Fatima." "Then he says, "I found it," and she says, "No keep on looking."" "At the end of a long journey and countless experiences, he comes to a mountain and looks for treasure." "But he doesn't find anything Then he realizes that the treasure is the whole journey he has made." "And then he goes back to Fatima." "Then Lisca wrote, "Bird, take flight."" "That was what I was feeling, and Lisca sensed it." "Then the bird took flight." "You were really a hard, selfish..." "Back then, I was drinking and doing a lot of drugs." "And for the first time in my life, I hit rock bottom." "For me, that meant regardless of what I did, I just wasn't happy, I wasn't positive." "I used ecstasy when I went out because it cheered me up and helped me think." "Then I was out of commission for days." "All at once, I thought, shit, this is rock bottom, Duncan." "Either you go to pieces completely, or..." "I was so unhappy, I'd never felt that before." "And finally that came out and that was when I became the guy who kept ringing the doorbell." "I said, "What are you doing here?"" "But what I meant to say was don't ring my bell all night long, that won't get you anywhere." "I couldn't take it anymore." "And then Duncan said, "I love you and I've missed you."" "And he came back." "Howl think about death was maybe easier to convey to Duncan." "I..." "It's the way I think about it." " I was always afraid of death." "And I'm not afraid of it at all." "But I don't knowhowit would've been if I'd known him well, or if it'd been my sister." "I think that life is only a small part of a whole." "That means that death isn't so much the end of something." "That's why I'm not afraid of it." "Then we started talking about it, and you began to think differently about it." "I think that that really helped a lot." "When someone dies, that something opens within yourself that something opens, that's a feeling that's so honest and open and genuine I've really only experienced that with death." "It sounds strange, but there can be something beautiful about it." "OK, that one's loose." "Nothing wrong with that." "Hey!" "How can it be..." "We're taking a major detour, no?" "It's right here, off the A2." "What did you type in?" " Gelsenkirchen." "It said 20 kilometers, nowwe're at 32 kilometers." "Take the next exit." "Not bad." " It's accurate. 100%%% ." "The two rings overlap." "We've got a lot to do here." "But is it also higher?" "Can you do the production?" " I do the production and Andrea the line-up." "You getting nervous?" "Do you knowthe German translation?" "You can cross out those walls." " Verschiedene... 25,000..." " 25 tons..." "Does the word "ton" exist in German?" " Ton, tonne..." "Don't know." " Let Andreas do the translating." "That's a thousand kilos." "Staff, beverages..." " I'll ask them." "What's the German word for a thousand kilos?" "Do you say a ton?" "500 kilos..." "Muhl, that's the word." " Null." "Wow guys, you sure knowyour words." "Ich bin proud das ich together with Stage Holding..." " Stolz!" ""Stolz" means proud?" "Fatboys at a press conference!" "Something else, huh?" "I'm the general manager of Stage Holding here in Germany." "It's my pleasure to introduce the founder of IDT and those who bring us Sensation White." "Welcome." "Good afternoon." "This is my first press conference in German." "My German isn't all that great, so I might slip in a word of English here and there." "People always compare Sensation to a normal party, but but there are parties, and there is Sensation." "Now this giant event Is coming to Germany." "Forget everything you've seen before." "Forget everything you've heard." "Thls evening your life will change." "Sensatlon Whlte." "July 16th In the Schalke Arena." "Be part of the night." "Dress In white." "Duncan Stutterheim for Joop van den Ende." "Come in." "We squabbled over the budget, for our part that wasn't great." "A couple of mistakes, but nowit's all resolved." "So that's good." "I understand that part of, let's say the production and marketing support that such a collaboration, from our side as well, that that needs more attention..." "It took some getting used to." "I thought we'd run things, but they had other ideas." "They see it as "We are Germany."" "Yes, but that's..." " I had to get used to that." "It's a big country." " The first talks were tough going." "In my opinion, the biggest mistake that Dutch..." "let's talk about Holland here..." "companies make when they go abroad is that they say, "This is us, and this is howit's going to be."" "You have to hold fast to the heart of of your idea, of your product..." " That's what we were squabbling about." "But people who were born in big countries think differently." "And the strength..." "that's what I did with Endemol is to immerse yourself in the local market, and in any case to convey the feeling that it's their product." "The only possibility of survival in in essence in everything is... to be unique." "Good, we'll proceed with Joop." "He thought we'd lost the lawsuit, just like everyone else." "Then I told him and he thought it sounded interesting." "He said he wanted to." "Participate?" " Yeah." "For howmuch?" "They say that..." "A minority." " What percentage?" "But a substantial one." "Then Dunc asked what's substantial." "He just wants just that we stay in control of it." "So you have to think about howmuch substantial is worth." "And is he paying in cash..." " We'll see." "Cash." "No, we're going swimming in a while." "That was Daddy's." "When you were little?" " What?" "You were little then, huh?" "Yeah, when I was little." "Go take a bike ride." " It's closing." "Yeah, I'm closing it for now..." "It's closed." " It's safer like that." "And when Daddy's done, we'll go swimming." "Sound good?" "One says one thing, another says something else, we've talked three times Marcel is the guy who knows." "What he says goes, that's howit is." ""Dunc, can I get going now?" "Bye now."" "It's not going all that smoothly here, either." "This isn't rocket science." "That information is wrong, it happens all the time." "Just shut your mouth." "I think the floor looks good." "So what's causing the problem?" "Only the second ring?" "Of the people we see, going by the 0.6 average we'll see 200 people on Saturday and about 100 will become unwell." "You have to remember alcohol will be the number one cause." "In the past fewyears, alcohol has surpassed ecstasy..." "The percentage difference is not all that huge, but alcohol is still pretty prominently the number one cause." "Ecstasy is number two, and exclusively at the White parties GHB is also a problem." "That doesn't happen at the Black parties as it tends to belong to the style of music played at the White parties in comparison to the Black parties." "There is more GHB use at the White parties." "Ecstasy's only benefit is that it makes the user believe everyone is friendly." "Everyone likes this." "Especially the stewards at the events because it's better to have friends than drunks who are clearly no friends at all." "The medical people like this, too, for an unwell ecstasy user tells us everything." "It depends completely on one's curiosity what he wants to hear." "You hear it all." "I'm so happy it doesn't seem empty." "Yesterday, I was worried it wasn't enough, that we'd need more, but if you look at this but once the wall's on, it's gonna be so cool." "Can you switch it on?" " No, the light board isn't here yet." "And Duncan liked it too, huh?" " Yeah, he said he thought it looked good..." "That's always a relief." "At least for me." " For us as well." "Do you mean the light will just go right through?" "I keep that old Marco as third source." "Sometimes I just keep it black." "Sometimes I put Marco on." "You hear yourself now, or not?" "Is that better?" "I'll come to you." "Now, on behalf of Norma as well, I'd like to give the floor to Duncan." "My son." "What happened there would be impossible to tell." "The only thing I can say is, Duncan we are you." "And you are us." "Well, we've gone through the formalities." "The rest of the day will be a party." "Miles would've done just that." "I want to celebrate his life." "I don't want to be sad..." "Of course it's a loss for us." "While he's thinking, "Whatever."" ""I want nothing to do with this."" ""Party!"" "All right, guys, lights out." "Four, three blackout." "Slowly turn up the green Max." "Build up the green lights." "In five seconds, let it fly." "Slowly build it up." "Check out the glitter!" "Good one, Bart. That was really good." "Did you like it?" "I'm in awe, with my jaw open." "It's really science fiction, man." "Really, science fiction." "I'm glad you're here." " I told you I would be."
