"Eva Vorsselmans speaking." "I'm looking for the mother of Patty Paltier." "She was taken away this morning." "I'd like to turn that back." "One moment." "Mrs Paltier." "Let me check." "No, I want her to come home." "So that her soul can be in her own house for a bit longer." "No, I'm not her daughter." "Patty's her daughter." "We haven't talked to her yet." "She's in Mexico for TV4." "Yes, Patty Paltier." "Pal-tier." "Ruud, Grace speaking." "My mother-in-law died." "I'm speechless." "And I'm afraid the production has to be stopped." "It's terrible to abandon you all, but I don't know if I can do it." "Is it going alright, Toto?" "That corner needs to be deeper." "And that's the whistle." "We're even at half-time." "Back to the dressing room." "PART 5 A HOLE FOR GRANDMA" "Patty, Max speaking." "Mummy passed away." "Yes." "Yes." "Yes, lots of pain." "She coughed herself to death." "I'll pass you on to Grace." "One moment." "Her line's busy." "No, I'm playing Andromache and I watch Hecabe die." "That's too close to the bone, too painful." "Yes." "The cremation's on the day of the premiere." "But how can I do that, darling?" "You can't ask that of me." "I'm in the room where she died." "No, at the premiere." "Eva's arranging the entire funeral." "It'll be very beautiful." "Come home as soon as you can." "Ok, bye." "I hope her plane doesn't crash." "So you think..." "If you think that, I'll do it for you." "Then I'll do it." "I'll just do it." "But I will be half an hour late." "Mr Vorsselmans?" "No, Mrs Vorsselmans is there." "Staccato." "Oh, misery." "Short and businesslike." "Oh, misery!" "It's illegal to bury a human body on your own property." "But there's no such thing as your own property." "You run the risk that the grave will have to be cleared in a couple of years." "And then your lawn would be ruined." "My lawn doesn't matter." "Hector, pity a scared woman." "Don't tear my body apart!" "Hello." "This is Wiebe, my husband." "This is Conny Van Der Beem." "She brought grandma home." "That's great!" "I can't help, I'm afraid." "I'm about to have a massage course." "We have to keep going." "We have to keep going." "Yes, of course." "Please, Marie." "Here." "I can't work like this, Wiebe." "I'm energising you." "You're way too tense." "I'm sorry for her that she's dead." "You shouldn't be sorry." "Dead people are very happy." "Do you want to touch her?" "Take her hand, take it." "Relax, Eva." "You've been terribly upset since grandma died." "Take that hand, take it." "Grace!" "We've got her back home." "Grandma's home." "Could you leave me alone for a moment?" "Of course!" "Come, we're going to do some practicing." "Are you coming to the garage?" "I'm going to practice, dear." "Farewell." "Retarded woman." "Never put the oil straight on." "Always put a bit in your hands." "Don't move your arms erratically" "Do it calmly, like everything else during a massage." "Walk, walk..." "Keep walking." "Your second hand has to take over from your first in time." "So that the massage doesn't keep getting interrupted." "Carefully work your way up." "Can you take over from me, Wiebe?" "Just do as I did." "Take over in time." "Keep your hands closed." "More firmly now." "Beginners tend to be too careful." "It's going well, it's ok." "It's going very well." "We don't want that black, dark colour." "There's Patty!" "She's home, dear." "Finally, your daughter." "Were you there when it happened?" "Yes, I was there." "When's the cremation?" "It'll be very special." "Patty..." "I'm so sorry you don't have any parents anymore either." "Is Grace that upset?" "Kill me fast or do not kill me." "Andromache..." "Dear, brave Andromache." "I hope I can do it tonight." "Patty, I have to go to massage, so I can't go with you." "So you go." "Max, you're coming." "We're going together." "Wiebe would be very disappointed." "What is this?" "Patty." "It's not completely finished, but it will be fantastic." "Everybody at Hertenkamp has opened up and the atmosphere's so good." "What are you doing?" "Communication." "I'm communicating so well with her." "She's like one of my plants." "Max, hi." "Hey, Max!" "Join the group, it's great." "This is Kirsten." "Hi." "It's like swimming, Max." "You have to get used to it." "And then it's lovely." "You have to take everything off, though." "Relax your back muscles." "Go ahead, Kirsten." "And out of that pure love, I'll return your mother to Mother Earth." "Mummy will be cremated." "Cremated!" "Mother's going into the oven." "She didn't talk to me about it." "I'm having my course." "She's got tunnel vision, as if I'm not there." "Behind my back she calls me a macrobiotic vulture." "I'm doing something right now." "After all I've done for her mother." "Now it's suddenly her mother." "But she was in Mexico." "I'm busy right now." "Shall I energise you?" "No, you don't need to energise me." "You'd get it out of your system." "Wiebe, she wants lilies." "Relax for a moment." "I don't need to relax." "Stop it." "Now I have to turn everything back." "It's not that strange, is it?" "What I wanted?" "As if I did something completely insane." "It wasn't insane." "So I said:" "Eva, I want everybody to be able to say farewell to my mother." "And that includes you." "And the children who represent elves, can do a little dance." "Just not in the crematorium." "Let them dance when I scatter the ashes in the garden." "As long as it won't take too long." "I dread it." "I didn't know you were so attached to mummy." "No, I mean the premiere." "The premiere without mummy." "I mean, she was always there." "With her bright laughter, still wearing her hat." "And her peppermints." "I'm Kimberly, I'm here for the... scattering." "Of the ashes?" "Yes." "They haven't returned yet, girl." "They're still burning her." "But you can come in." "You can wait here." "Could you help me put on my wings?" "Yes, alright." "You're going to dance, aren't you?" "Yes." "Very nice." "Here are the wings." "Very beautiful." "Why are you crying?" "I'm not crying." "Yes, you have red eyes." "Beautiful." "Do you know what you look like?" "You look like a little angel." "I'd like to be an angel too." "I'm not sad, I'm just leaking a bit." "Where would they have their candy?" "They don't have candy here." "They don't have..." "Eva says it's bad for your health." "There they are." "Grandma." "How was it, Grace?" "Nice." "Do you want to see grandma?" "No." "When Eva's collected her elves, we can keep going." "No, not today, Patty." "This lesson's on me." "How did it go, Patty?" "Who cares?" "You're completely self-involved anyway." "I can tell you one thing, Max." "You brought it all on yourself." "That you have no relationship or friends or that you never leave the house." "And that you have weak buttocks!" "Kick yourself up your own ass for a change!" "What's wrong, Max?" "I wish I was dead." "Patty hates me because I'm such a terrible coward." "Hold this." "Let me energise you." "I want to be brave, but I can't." "Let me to touch you, Max." "Dear mother, we're gathered here today to return you to the land." "The land you and daddy loved so much." "I may never be able to stop crying." "You may have reached the end of a very difficult phase of your life." "Do you think so?" "Really." "And there's light at the end of the tunnel." "And you've got a beautiful life ahead of you." "I'm sure of it." "And if you don't want to be at the scattering, you just stay inside." "We'll understand." "Oh, hat!" "Light at the end of the tunnel." "When you entrusted Hertenkamp to me, you continued to smile." "You've reached the end of the long journey." "I hope daddy's waiting for you." "Rest in peace." "I've got this lid." "Thanks, Wiebe." "That's that." "Great, Max, just great." "But I saw Catherine two weeks ago, in the gallery." "Didn't she fall against a marble table?" "No, I saw her two weeks ago." "Wasn't Catherine pushed with her head against a marble table?" "Yes." "But I saw her two weeks ago." "But you're watching Belgian TV." "You should watch the BBC." "Do you like it?" "Are you coming, Wiebe?" "Yes." "Bye, Eva!" "Come, Wiebe!" "Thanks, Wiebe!" "Bye!" "In 1.5 hours the curtain will open." "I have such a terrible job." "Good luck, tonight." "I have such a great woman." "It's time I said it." "You're a great woman." "You just concentrate on..." "I'll be playing Andromache just for you tonight." "Kimberly, keep that apple for at home." "Thanks, bye!" "It was beautiful."
