"Because you're used to it." "So I always have good dreams." "Tell your psychiatrist, so he can send another insane bill." "And what about yours?" "Mine's better and cheaper." "But happy anniversary." "Now what?" "Damn, sorry darling!" "How sweet of you." "Happy anniversary." "A second television, thank you." "Don't I get anything?" "Relax, I didn't have a chance." "It's in your study." "A home trainer." "Yes." "You should knock, kid." "Breakfast." "A tiger!" "You're such a darling." "Don't you want anything?" "He already had breakfast." "Right, Valentijn?" "I want a dog!" "No, they stink and shit everywhere." "A telegram from your daughter." "Congratulazioni, 20 years of marriage." "Incredibile." "Madelon, Dennis and little Gino." "An egg!"

"For twenty years..." "For twenty years you've shared everything." "That isn't common these days." "John, old loser... in the 8 years that I've been your superior..." "I've gotten to know you and Danny as a couple... that always seems about to start World War 3... but you always end up deciding to continue as allies." "Provided you don't get smoked out first." "Hey, fucker, I'm suffocating here." "That's why I got you, as a symbol of your loyalty... a water bed for in your hump room." "And for you, John, we bought this chainsaw." "Happy anniversary and happy landings." "Applause!" "Finally your chainsaw, John." "Stay away from me." "Champagne!" "Blow out the candles, John!" "Blow, John!" "The speech wasn't that serious." "What a rascal, they're outside candles." "Very childish, Jan-Julius!" "John, stop it!" "What's the problem?" "It's fun." "Don't pay any attention to him." "John always gets sentimental when..." "Who wants some cake?" "What's this?" "Never mind." "My father's crying over his girlfriend Jane." "Danny, control yourself, please." "What a speech can do!" "Sorry, I'm over it." "Who wants cake?"

"You go with uncle Dolf." "Get in." "Happy landings." "What a party!" "How do you do it, dipstick?" "Come with me." "It's not going to work tonight." "Pete, I've said goodbye to Jane." "I haven't seen her for 23.5 days." "I've chosen for my family." "But it's not over from one day to the next." "It takes time." "I'm only human." "With a dog's face like that?" "I'll explain it to her." "It'll be alright." "Come with me." "She's lost her marbles." "Give her some time." "I'll party on at home." "If you need me..." "Pete, thanks." "Yes?" "Can I talk to your mother?" "Sure." "Hello, dad." "Oh, Valentijn." "Can I talk to mommy?" "Mommy's mad." "She doesn't want to talk to you." "Is it ok with you if I..." "Danny, come on!" "Sorry!" "Those mongrels never clean up after themselves." "Bloody bitch!" "Mommy, I can't sleep." "Will daddy never come back?" "Daddy has been very mean to mommy." "That's why mommy doesn't know if she wants him back." "That's why mommy was mad." "Now she's only sad, just like you." "Is it because I've been bad?" "No, it's because... because daddy..." "It's because of that bitch that's ruining my life." "Shut up!" "What's uncle Pete doing with mommy?" "Talking bullshit." "Talking about mommy and daddy." "They have a little problem."

"Do you want a drink?" "No, thanks." "Or yes, actually." "Have a seat." "Are you in a hurry?" "Is she waiting for you?" "Danny." "Pete said you had something to tell me." "I'm not here." "Hello." "Yes." "Not now." "I'll call you back later." "What do I do now?" "You ask me that?" "Do I have to get on my knees?" "Maybe I deserve an explanation after 20 years." "You cheated on me for 2 years." "In my own bed even." "This is useless." "When can I see the children?" "No way." "Can I explain to them what's going on?" "I'll do that." "Your children are fed up with you." "Why did you leave us?" "Just when we were making a new start." "Why did you destroy that?" "I don't need all this blame." "Pete also thinks it's disgraceful." "Stay here." "You belong with us." "Do it for the children." "John!" "Damnit!" "You'll never see your children again!" "This fellow's off to mother." "Need anything?" "No." "Come with me." "I have to sort myself out first." "That could take a while." "Sleep well." "See you tomorrow." "My darling John." "Since our last night together..." "your flowers, your goodbye cake... the bottle of cognac that we mixed with our tears..." "I've tried to accept your decision to stay with your family." "I thought my love for you would wane." "Although I didn't want it to." "But there was no other solution." "After 24 days without you... without your warmth... without your childlike innocence... my desire for you has only grown." "I'm desperate." "I don't know what to do." "I've tried to focus on the positive... in a life without you." "But a life without you is no life for me." "Jane!" "I now know how much I've always loved you." "And how our rare moments together were overshadowed by the secrecy." "And that Danny would never accept it." "When you'd be in my arms... and covered my naked body with kisses."

"I'll forward your call." "Hello, doofus, your father's abroad with... you know who." "Damnit." "What the hell?" "Never do that again!" "You should join the KGB!" "I hope you've recovered enough to help me fight my wife." "Correction: ex-wife." "I'm sure she'll be very obnoxious." "She'll prevent me from seeing my children." "And she'll try to make our lives hell." "She must have calmed down." "Yes." "Nothing can happen to me." "I was born under a lucky star." "To the lovebirds!" "Danny Gisberts" "Damnit!" "What a bitch!" "Captain Gisberts to the Operation Room." "Urgent!" "I'm talking to her tomorrow." "So I can't stand your dog's face right now." "Take it or leave it." "Now point two." "Our NATO lot are celebrating their..." "25th?" "40th anniversary." "Every member state has to contribute to a promotion show." "Also because our public image has suffered due to those peaceniks." "Since we've always been an active NATO member... expectations are high." "What does that have to do with me?" "Nothing whatsoever." "Except that an entire platoon out there is about to participate." "And the captain in charge crashed in Alemania, with his F16." "Indeed." "Dead?" "Two broken pillars." "That's a relief." "No relief, because there's only one replacement:" "John Gisberts." "You won't be missed here anyway." "Me?" "Yes, you." "Isn't that funny?" "And in one year I'll resign." "Goodbye." "I can't do it." "You have to." "It's perfect timing for you." "It will distract you from your marital problems." "Do as I say." "Befehl ist Befehl." "But I don't know anything about it." "Doesn't matter." "Just do something." "Keep it up." "Put this on." "Immer gerade aus, coachman!" "Take this." "Straight ahead and to the left." "Silence, please, ladies!" "We need 25 girls for our NATO show." "If you can't do it or are under 18, leave now." "While you still can." "If you can't dance at all, leave as well." "You go away." "You can't dance." "We need to lose more." "This is too many." "You maybe?" "I've got 36." "We need to lose 11." "We need a few as backup." "Yes?" "She's 16, why can she stay?" "Let me." "Stop it, ladies." "Don't fight." "Did you finish your homework?" "I can't do it." "Due to domestic problems, says the principal." "Abusing the situation again?" "Don't pinch that." "That's 48 of them, Major." "Where do we put them?" "Over there somewhere." "Alright." "Acid rain on your head." "Ok, guys, put it all over there." "Bloody hell!" "There goes my weekend." "Harold, everything alright?" "Mrs Gisberts." "Can I speak to one of my kids?" "Fucking bitch!" "I lasted 20 years with that woman." "Who was that?" "It was John, wasn't it?" "I don't have to justify myself to you." "Are you finally giving me my pocket money?" "Not until your father..." "Pays matrimony." "Alimony, shut up!" "Please." "I'm not home again." "Leave it." "I know the children are home." "I'll pick them up and take them to the zoo." "The boys need to hear from me why I'm no longer there." "And don't stop me..." "Aunt Jenny and uncle Mac." "Barbecue." "Valentijn, Jan-Julius, your father!" "Are you coming?" "Valentijn, your bike!" "Come on, boys." "Fucking bitch!" "I won't take it, I won't take it!" "HEAD OF THE CHILD PROTECTION COUNCIL" "We don't just mediate between warring partners." "We also check up the child itself psychologically." "How does the child deal with the conflicts?" "Our advice is always binding." "Excuse me?" "I said..." "Never mind." "Don't take this the wrong way, but you left them." "They didn't leave you." "You left for another woman." "For now, we see no reason to give you custody." "And a young kid like Valentijn will be very attached to his mother." "Things could change for the better if you paid alimony." "If I can never see the boys?" "No cure, no pay!" "I can't even explain to them why I'm not there anymore." "Because you claim them." "Don't you understand she finds that threatening?" "Yes." "They're replacing the lamp." "We can continue in the room next door." "I never want to see that mongrel of a child again." "Don't do that to me." "Let him stay with his mother." "Sorry, they're replacing the linoleum in my room." "Follow me." "We'll find a room." "Valentijn." "Sit down." "You have three daughters." "The oldest one is Trudy." "Daughters?" "Wrong file, excuse me." "The things that bitch has been saying about me." "The things that dick has been saying about me." "Cheer when I come out." "Ok, take a break." "It's going very well." "Keep it up." "Listen." "Have you got another one?" "I just had a meeting in Brussels, with the entire NATO leadership." "They want to show all the contributions live on TV." "Also that ass wiggling of yours." "250 million viewers." "What about that?" "I can't do it." "You have to." "I can't." "Yes, you can!" "No, I can't!" "Danny!" "Oh..." "Jane!" "Back home!" "They're coming on Sunday." "Now what?" "Your children." "She's only doing that to win over that bitch from the board." "I want to go to mommy." "I want to go to mommy." "Jane does it all herself." "Danny's unbelievable." "Funny, isn't it?" "You can eat it just like that." "Does she have children?" "No, but she loves them." "No poison at all." "You can eat it just like that." "She took you away from us." "Not at all!" "Can you taste the difference?" "So I didn't leave you, but your mother." "Actually, she kicked me out." "And now she's so angry, she wants to get back at me." "And how can she do that best?" "Who does daddy love the most?" "His helicopter." "Very funny." "'You know who'." "What?" "That's what we call Jane, so Danny doesn't freak out." "Daddy loves you the most." "So she pisses me off the most if I can't see you." "We're here now, aren't we?" "And daddy thinks that's..." "You can here." "Funny." "For the phone." "Call me from a phone booth." "Let's do this more often." "I'll see." "Bye." "Come and see me whenever you want." "Your bike." "Call me." "Do you have the number of 'you know who'?" "And of the air base?" "Ok." "And don't let your mother get to you." "She's not here." "No." "Take off your coat." "Make yourself comfortable." "Whiskey?" "Mommy says I'll stay with her." "Because I came out of her belly and drank her milk." "And that I'll be just as blond as her." "Her hair's grey." "She dyes it." "Goodnight." "Are you leaving again?" "I'll wait until your mother arrives." "Does Jane allow that?" "Bye." "Bloody hell, Danny, did you have to?" "Rat." "Who reads to you the most?" "Who kisses you the most?" "Who do you like the most?" "If you don't know, put it in X." "And what do you see in this?" "It looks like you." "I wouldn't do that." "I want to talk to her." "I don't think that will help." "Too much has happened." "That's why." "And I was born under a lucky star." "Oh boy, La Traviata herself." "I don't talk to young women who ruin marriages." "Who steal the father of my children." "Have fun with that bastard!" "Leave her alone." "You're only making things worse." "Dirty slut!" "Danny, control yourself." "Stupid woman." "If I ever see you again..." "With regards from your wife." "You left your lights on." "Where's the booze?" "Bloody hell." "You can taste the difference." "Much sweeter." "And healthier, right?" "My garden!" "My organic vegetables!" "The woman has gone mad!" "John, she's coming back!" "Get away from there!" "Careful!" "Bloody poisoner!" "Fuck off with that bird!" "Bloody hell!" "Quick, inside!" "Run!" "Is it ok with daddy?" "He doesn't live here." "Jan-Julius, give me a hand." "Who paid for the house when granddad died?" "I'll do it." "Danny, what did you do this time?" "I can't help it, Pete." "Where's daddy?" "Why don't you talk to each other?" "Enjoy." "So, the children..." "Here?" "How dare you?" "Joke." "Can't I stay positive?" "Keep things in perspective?" "Is it good?" "Want to try?" "Remember Rome?" "So what's wrong with Valentijn?" "The doctor can't find anything." "Maybe something psychological." "I wouldn't worry about it." "You never know how they're doing after everything that's happened." "But let's forget the past." "Let's forget the future." "You don't mean that." "I'm sorry if I treated you wrongly." "That you feel humiliated." "You could have thought of that earlier." "But I do hope that we won't be enemies anymore in the future." "And that you can come..." "Come?" "Please." "Not funny, sorry." "I wouldn't worry about the children." "We'll get through." "Two more cognacs, please." "Not for me." "Please behave." "So I get the boys for a long weekend, every two weeks." "I'll pick them up from school." "And I'll return them at 8:15 pm." "I won't ruin their hair or buy the wrong clothes." "And I won't badmouth their mother." "And we'll discuss the holiday next time." "Can I get the bill?" "Really no cognac?" "No, thanks." "I have to go home." "I had a good time." "I'm very happy we've been able to discuss the children." "Home?" "Is she waiting for her man?" "Danny, you promised... damn!" "Why did you leave after 20 years?" "I have the right to know." "What did I do wrong?" "Oh no!" "I'm paying." "It's a matter of self-respect." "Could I offer you something on the house?" "Champagne, please." "No, we're going." "No, I've done what you wanted all my life." "Alimony!" "200 guilders for four little children." "Two children." "Champagne!" "Come on, John, carpe diem!" "Just like Niki Lauda." "You'll never see your children again!" "I'm Anke Bouma, the principal." "In case of divorce, our school only allows contact with the student... after permission from the parent the child lives with." "That means I can't help you." "Valentijn!" "How dare you kidnap an 8 year old?" "This is pointless." "Try legal means instead." "You're disturbing the peace." "Go away!" "The Bouma school sucks!" "Will you come to my birthday party?" "Your dad." "I don't want you to..." "Out of the question." "First we wait for the decision of the board." "Then it won't be his birthday anymore." "Get in." "And take off those wet clothes." "Turn off your lights." "Damn." "Come, hurry." "A towel, quickly!" "Jan-Julius!" "Jan-Julius!" "Where are you?" "What did I do to deserve this?" "Ein, zwei, drei!" "Daddy!" "Oh, boys!" "We've been kicked out." "Hello, uncle Pete." "Mommy's really mad." "Can you believe that?" "Thank you." "I'll call." "She's already on a plane." "What?" "Hey, Jane." "Dad, where do we sleep tonight?" "I'm very glad you're here." "Where can I put this?" "Divorces are unpleasant, aren't they?" "And all those board bitches here." "But we've made a lot of progress." "You knew the mother got preliminary custody?" "Before you continue: the mother kicked them out." "The boys didn't take it any longer." "They've been living with me and my girlfriend for two weeks now." "They're going to a school near us." "The mother has disappeared without a trace." "I have a statement by the doctor, that she's no longer able to..." "And you'll be very rich." "Don't bite your nails." "Go away, dirty animal." "If you act like that towards Nero... you'll go back to your mother who's in the nuthouse." "Come on." "Correction: the Valium Hotel." "Can I have a cookie now?" "You just brushed your teeth." "Give me one." "You just had two." "You're hiccupping already." "And you'll die very soon." "What will you do when I'm dead?" "Find someone else fast." "Cry." "Take off with your money." "They'll go to their mother." "No." "Won't you stay with Jane?" "No." "Don't you like Jane?" "Yes, but I'd have to think of you all day and I'd be sad." "He's such a cute kid." "Can I have a cookie now?" "Bloody hell!" "Can you stop hiccupping?" "It's not his fault." "Valentijn, off to bed." "Your mother's behind you!" "See?" "Hiccups are gone." "Not funny." "The gentlemen's toilet's next door." "That's impossible!" "Her doctor's statement says 'temporary'." "You must have noticed." "In this letter, her doctor states that she has completely recovered." "And that she can look after her children again." "Just like when all this started." "The institution says the same thing." "There's no reason to take the children away from your wife." "Ex!" "Until we finish our enquiry." "Do you know what we'll find?" "What did you think is happening to a kid like Valentijn?" "This is how he sees his mother." "And this is his father." "Drop dead, woman." "Get a..." "sunstroke!" "Damnit!" "Careful!" "They're all bloody bitches here." "Since we think it unwise to ask the assistance of the police... the court orders you to return your children... to Danny Vlierswijk, formerly Gisberts." "Or else pay a fine of 100,000 guilders per day." "Signed:" "Judge bla bla." "This means you have to pack your suitcases." "No!" "Well, that's decided." "I don't have that kind of money." "Damn, I'm nervous for the dress rehearsal." "Don't do that." "It's dangerous." "And look after your stepmother." "Don't be nervous until tomorrow." "We'll see." "Hey, stop that!" "And if your mother shows up, don't go with her." "That would be bad for my appeal." "She won't be coming at night." "She has nyctophobia." "What's that?" "You know so little for your age." "Nyctophobia... she's afraid of the dark." "Let's go!" "Cook something for when we get back." "Ok." "Bye, see you tonight." "What's a dress rehearsal?" "Do they wear dresses?" "It's the last time they practice before going on TV tomorrow." "And what's an appeal?" "How do I explain that?" "Such nice gifts." "Such nice gifts for the boys." "You're so sweet to me." "We're happy to have you back." "I was so sorry for you." "Haven't you seen the children yet?" "The board's on her side and she won the court case." "Come on, guys," "He's hiding them." "Terrible." "This is a party!" "Good that you didn't sell this joint." "I'm sorry." "You're looking good." "Just send in the law." "She doesn't want that for the children." "We're happy to have you back." "I respect your motherly feelings." "A great example for any woman." "Sleep well." "We'll have a party tomorrow." "Will daddy be on TV?" "In the whole world." "So mommy will see him too." "Sleep well." "Come in." "Stag party." "You stay here." "Guys, Ruhe bitte." "My loyal partner and me..." "good old Donald... we want to do something." "We want to do justice." "And you have to help us." "At midnight, we want to surprise Danny with a present." "A present that is her dearest wish." "Did you say anything to the bitches?" "Yes, that we went to the whores." "Hello?" "I know you're alone." "I'm really close." "I can see you in your gold dress." "Who's that?" "I'm coming closer." "Do that to your mother." "Terrible jokes." "Puberty." "The dress rehearsal's going fine." "Pete says I'll look good on TV tomorrow." "The whole world will know who Captain John P. Gisberts is." "I have to hang up." "Are you alright?" "Careful with your shoes." "Have we arrived?" "Bloody hell!" "Aida." "La Traviata." "Cool, all those hot girls." "Have you ever..." "Fucked?" "How often do Jane and you do it?" "Give me a break!" "Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please." "You all know why we're here." "We're having this party to celebrate the return of our friend Danny." "As proof of our friendship, we have a gift that we think you'll appreciate." "We won't talk anymore about what she's been through in the past year." "Because now we're partying." "And you can't return your present." "Please follow me quietly." "Danny, please." "Fucking hell." "That's John." "Valentijn." "You stay here." "Where's Valentijn?" "Valentijn, I'm here." "Stop that, he's not here!" "He's not here." "I wish Mac was here." "He's gone mad." "Where the hell is he?" "He's not here!" "He's not here." "Which means 40 years of NATO." "Thank you." "Two hundred million people will see contributions by the 16 countries." "We'll be going, by satellite, to each of the NATO partners." "To give viewers an impression of each country... we'll give you a look behind the scenes from our studio in Brussels." "We're going to NATO member Turkey." "Are you no longer mad?" "I've never been mad with you." "Can I see my dad then?" "No, it will be too late." "Where the hell is he?" "We're live in 20 minutes." "That fucker's getting on my nerves." "He's still home." "His son was kidnapped." "Hogwash!" "Have they all lost their marbles?" "Yes, you're what I need." "Out with that!" "You're pretty enough." "You come with me." "And bring that paint." "That was Germany." "Now the contribution from the Netherlands." "One of the most obedient members, ever since NATO was founded." "First a bit about the history of this brave little country." "He's here!" "He's here!" "Hurry, moron." "The jacket!" "Two hundred million viewers are about to see... what makes a small country big." "We're going to air base Vandenberg." "40 years a loyal ally... and partners are celebrating... that Europe has been united... that is our NATO ready day and night... citizens can go to sleep NATO will stand guard... enemies better prepare... yes that is our defense... for peace and for security... that is our motto... whoever will endanger that... will thoroughly regret it... prosperity brought us happiness... gave meaning to our existence... no enemy can ever destroy that... they will succumb before they do... 40 years a loyal ally... and partners are celebrating..."
