Thank you for the meal.

- Nothing to say thanks for, son.

I enjoyed it.

- Yes, I enjoyed it too.

Lucas, Evert come inside. It's time to eat!

Thanks again.

- Our pleasure.

Bye Alex.

- Bye.

There they go again.

I'm not taking this any longer!

I'm not taking this any longer!

I'm not taking this any longer!!!

Lucas, stop it. STOP IT!

A**hole!

Alex?

Have you had a good evening?

Alex?

Have you eaten well?

- Yes.

Chicken Bones...

- Chicken bones?

I'm not feeling well.

Breathe deeply for a moment.

Do you have pain anywhere?

Breathe a bit more.

Did you go to bed late?

I really can't find anything wrong.

Mom?

Do you need anything?

Can I get anything for you?

Oh sweetie, come and sit by me.

How about a kiss?

Hi.

You must be hungry, eh?

You've slept the whole day!

But you must eat something.

I'm on a diet.

Hello.

Slide over a bit.

Now, tell me what's going on.

The Doctors says that there is nothing wrong physically.

Come on, Son.

You can tell me anything.

Have you got problems at school?

Is something else bothering you?

The Doctor says that you seem worried.

What do you want with all this rubbish?

Ok, son if you prefer to keep your mouth

shut, then fine.

But then you are getting out of bed tomorrow and going to school.

- No!

No?

-I'm not going to school.

You aren't sick and choose not to say what

the problem is, so you have no right to stay there in bed.

Dinners ready. Alex are you coming down to eat?

- Of course he's coming down to eat...

You can't baby this child forever.

- Excuse me?

Now, take a nice shower then come down for dinner.

- No, I want to stay in bed.

Hey, have you gone mad?

- Stay out of it.

There's nothing worng with him. If he's got problems

he can talk about it with us. But he's not going to hide in his room.

You know what? We are going to eat and then have a jog together.

Come on Son. You'll feel as strong as a farmer soon.

No, you know the boy doesn't like sport.

Shut your mouth.

You're turning him into a soft boiled egg!

A bit of sport has never done anyone harm.

What's wrong with running in the park together?

Father and son, no?

We could be waiting for hours.

You have something better to do then?

- F*** him.

Maybe he's ill.

Do you really think so?

- Of course not.

Don't you see how useful that soup chicken is? We're getting rich

while he's taking all the risks.

- Where'd you get the glasses?

I bought them. Rayban 300 Guilders.

Sh*t. His dad is there with him.

Maybe he's ratted us out.

Come, let's go.

You're keeping up better than I expected.

See, this really is fun!

Ah, maybe you're still not well.

If I was Alex, I'd have told someone long ago.

- F***ing machine, why wont you give any money out?

Oh yes? Who then?

If I had a father, then I'd have told him.

But you don't.

- I do!

Have you seen him in the last 10 years?

I haven't.

He put us on this world.

Then he f***ed off and left Mom.

He left us and didn't give a damn.

And he lives happily ever after. End of story.

And there will come a day when I will hit him on his nose.

Would you really do that?

I dream about doing it.

What's up with you Chicken Bone.

Are you ill?

Hmm, did your mom make this for you?

My mom wouldn't do that for me.

Do you want one too?

What are you doing?

-I've come to visit you while you're sick.

I phoned this afternoon and your mom

said that you were ill.

So I came along. We're good friends eh?

That's what I told you mom.

What's wrong with you anyway?

I think there's nothing wrong with you.

I think you're avoiding school.

I really am sick.

- Yeah, that's why you were jogging with your dad.

You were spying on us?

- Of course we were.

It's always fun. Father and son

sporting together.

A nice sight.

Did you know, I don't have a dad.

Just a stepfather.

And I hate him.

- Why?

He's always hitting me.

You don't believe me, eh?

If you know how annoying it is,

why do you do it yourself all the time?

Listen. What I told your Mom really is true. We

are friends.

We went to class together with Miss Hiller, remember?

Miss Hiller with the big bottom.

I've been thinking about this. Lucas getting you to steal those bags is really bad.

He's tormented you long enough.

I will say that we should leave you alone in peace and...

...that you are my friend.

And for that, I will receive 500 Guilders from

you, every week.

- You are mad!

500 Guilders.

Do you know how many bags you'll have to steal for that?

One, maybe two.

Two bags per week, and you're there already.

What's left over is for you.

Crybaby!

You know what your problem is?

You haven't got a backbone.

Alex, it's lovely to see you!

How are you doing?

- Fine!

Today I'll get a plaster cast and can go home.

Great, eh?

Then I can clean more windows.

- And your heart?

I've got pills for that.

I've got many years left yet.

You need to go to the police.

Why are you bringing this up again?

Because not doing it was stupid, really stupid.

Alex, we've talked about this already.

- We haven't done that. You just think so.

Alex, what on earth are you talking about?

They pushed you off the ladder.

- Who pushed me off the ladder?

Those two boys, the same ones that robbed you.

You're just like you mom. Head full of nonsense.

- Oh and now it's all my fault, eh?

...Rose hasn't done anything, she just needs to be left in peace.

Alex you are out of order. Come and sit down.

I'm not going to sit.

Mom was right. It's time you went into a home and left us all in peace!

Can you stand?

Oh, you've bitten through your lip?

Come, try to stand.

You've not broken anything.

Is it serious?

- The boy is only grazed otherwise he's fine.

I live in this street. Come with me.

It's really not necessary, Mrs.

- Come with me a moment.

I may be blind, but I won't eat you.

That stings, eh.

Yes, it stings.

Ah, good. Are there more places that I have missed?

No, this is just fine.

Then, you can put this on, yourself and

I'll go and get a drink for you.

Yeah, hello?

- Evert ?

No, this isn't Evert.

Oh, is that you, Chicken Bones?

I need speak to Evert.

He made me an offer.

Oh yes? When?

Yesterday.

Oh?

Can you just tell him that I have the money.

How dare you take it into your head to

go behind my back with Alex!

Because you're always buying stuff without asking me.

- That's none of your business, understand?

This is your last warning.

Do not do this again!

Did you hear me?

NEVER!

No backbone...

A lot of money, eh?

Don't you want to know how I got it?

- Ok.

How did you get it?

This money... I stole from an old lady

that was blind.

That's mean, eh?

I'm a thief.

Yeah, now you don't know what to say eh?

That's shut you up, eh.

I have a feeling that there is much more going on here.

Will you tell me the whole story.

- Why should I ?

I wasn't allowed to say anything.

Alex, if I said that, then I'm sorry.

But you seem to have a problem and you know that

I'm there to help you.
