Liesbeth, it's mom.

It's terrible, what happened...

but we'll just have to talk about it. Call me?

Received today at 6:22 pm

Hi, it's me.

I really don't know how

they found out about it, but call me back.

I love you.

To return a call...

Come on, Sophie.

What do you say, Sophie?

Ready for your certification dive?

Anna, you did really well.

Just a few more lessons.

Friday, 8 o'clock.

OK, and who else will be there?

- You're the only one.

- Oh, well, that'll be fun.

- I'll be there too, so...

- Then it'll be OK.

Yeah, and you'll be there too, right?

Whatever you want.

Well ladies, see you then.

- What do you think, what's it like?

- What?

Sex under water?

Wet!

OK, pancakes or Thai food?

Thai.

- I guess I'll have to go pick it up again.

- What?

Well, see ya!

Today we're going to talk about

the psychology of secrets.

For an honest person, revealing a secret...

can be more damaging than keeping it a secret.

A crush on your neighbour, fear of failure,

clandestine homosexual activity...

planning a surprise trip for

your boyfriend or girlfriend...

Everyone has secrets, big ones and small ones.

- Everyday secrets...

- Damn.

or even shocking ones.

Would anyone here like to share a secret with us?

No?

And why not?

Because we don't dare to reveal our inner selves.

In 1996 the American researcher

Steve Cole discovered that...

HIV positive homosexual men

who kept their sexuality a secret...

contracted AIDS eighteen months

to two years earlier...

than men...

who did not conceal their sexual orientation.

So, if you come out of the closet,

you'll live longer, right?

If you feel you have to keep a big secret,

then you create stress...

which can lead to a physical conflict.

That's what I was trying to say.

Well, OK then!

Everyone, I have something I want to tell you.

I'm gay.

- Oh my, I said it!

- Very good.

Very courageous of you to finally

share your big secret with us.

It was nothing, really.

OK, sit back down, you little pansy.

It's obvious and...

Yep...

You know what that means. Yep...

- No, no, no...

- 5 minutes. Go! Snacks! Now!

- Snacks! Snacks!

- 4:
58, 4:57, run.

Run!

4:
57... 4:55...

Hey! There you are.

That was quick, you're learning.

We're at 4:
22 or so?

Impressive. Take one for yourself.

Great, OK, next time

we're gonna have hotdogs. Catch.

Well done, Stijn!

The steps are stored in this rhythm.

Go.

Very good.

Very good, Stijn.

Very good.

Well done.

- OK, come on.

- No, wait.

Yes, yes, yes...

Yes, fantastic!

You're gonna walk out of here, son. Mark my words.

That's what I keep saying!

I'm proud of your little brother.

I'll help you.

You shouldn't have.

It's one of those noise cancelling jobs.

That'll be handy for when Sophie stops by.

Thanks a million, I love it.

OK, come with me.

Well, I think we can put in the implant.

Really? When?

The procedure is pretty simple, it's subcutaneous.

- The day after tomorrow, I suppose.

- OK. Good.

What are you talking about?

Stijn responds so well to electrostimulation...

that we'd like to give him an internal stimulator

connected to his spinal cord.

He'll be one of the first.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- Forgot about it, I guess.

It's a minor procedure.

The implant is just like a pacemaker...

right under the skin.

Will he be able to walk again?

We've developed an implant with

intelligent software.

The implant learns from Stijn's movements...

and anticipates when he wants to

make the same movements again.

The more he practices with it,

the better it becomes attuned to his movements.

Stijn is one of the first lucky ones.

This implant is going to be a major breakthrough.

One of the first? So this is still experimental?

Stijn will be the first to get the implant, yes.

- But...

- Anna, knock it off!

Oh, OK, of course...

- But?

- No, nothing, never mind.

I'm really happy for you.

Gotta go. It's time for physical therapy.

Later.

If you have any questions,

you can call me anytime.

No, no questions, it's all right. Thank you.

Goodbye.

OK, you do the dishes.

Give me a break!

That's what your boyfriend is for.

Yeah, but he's even lazier than me.

That's impossible.

Come on, let's clean up.

Speak of the devil and his juicy farts!

Come here.

No, I'm too full for this.

I don't even have room for your tiny dick.

OK, then I guess I'll grab your roommate.

Yeah right, I can't wait for that.

By the way, that guy in number 23,

the new guy, he's throwing a party...

and you two are coming along.

No, sorry, I still need to memorize

two chapters of psycholinguistics.

Psycholinguistics?

Yes, psycholinguistics.

Gimme that!

- You'll only get it back if you come along.

- I can't.

That party starts at ten, so you've

got plenty of time for your psycho-thingy.

- Hey, nerd, are you coming?

- I have to go to work.

If you'd finally get around to

finishing medical school, then you...

wouldn't have to work in that stupid bar,

pouring beers for drunken sluts.

I like drunken sluts.

Well then, you're out of luck here.

Hello...

He'll be 'probing' one of

the pledges later this evening.

That's the guy who's throwing the party.

- That's my ex.

- Excuse me?

- I gotta go.

- Hey, wait a minute.

How can you have an ex that I know nothing about?

High school.

But that's so long ago,

you can't feel that anymore.

Sex with your ex, that's exciting and familiar...

and it's far too long ago, come on.

- Sophie...

- Hey, Tim.

Tim, Anna, have fun.

How's it going?

Really great.

No, sorry, let's do this again.

Tim, it's been a long time! How's it going?

Hey, Anna! I'm great, thanks. You want a drink?

Tequila, right? Let's go.

I really thought you would have

sold some kind of brilliant invention...

to a computer company years ago.

Touchy subject?

Touchy subject... I mean...

My inventions are always brilliant.

So you're right on that point.

But the lawyers at that company...

where I so stupidly opened

my mouth without a signature...

were just a teensy bit more brilliant than I was.

And then?

Then... let's talk about something else, OK?

- What are you up to here?

- Mainly living and... seeing you.

Actually I came here to study.

Was computer science not enough?

I also studied physics in Groningen.

Well, well, not bad.

And now? Some vague and meaningless subject?

No, I'm enrolled in medical school,

part-time for a semester.

Really? Why?

Well, first of all,

because I'm blindingly intelligent...

and second, I want to

find scientific proof that tequila...

does not damage the liver.

You've got plenty of test subjects here.

That's why I moved here.

Actually, the guy who lives here...

is on a study trip for six months,
