Is that German?
Yes, Koln, or Cologne
is where he lives.
You're really good at it.
If you want me to go on,
I need something tangible of his.
Something tangible?
- A key or a lock of hair or...
- A letter.
- Could work. You got one?
- I'll get it.
- Here.
- No, I don't want to read it.
Or you'll think it's all a trick.
Then I'll hold it. What do you see?
A picture? His?
He's not wearing much. He's not
into the sex industry, I hope?
No.
I see him on the beach...
...waves and...
What's up? What did you see?
I drifted off, I think.
His name was there, letters.
H and E, HENK... HERBERT...
HERMAN:
Herman!
Gee, I didn't know you were
so good at it. Look...
Is that him?
Well now...
You're going to tell me
all about this Herman.
From when I first met Johan.
Johan? Who's this Johan?
- My dead husband I told you about.
- Oh, yes.
Herman wanted me,
but I married Johan.
That's life.
Sure. But tell me about this Herman?
I'd rather not.
Why not?
Is it problematic?
Come on, Christine,
we're both adults.
Herman is so... savage.
He doesn't beat you?
No, in bed I mean.
What does he do?
He just pounds away.
And he comes at once.
No wonder, that boy
Yes, but there's nothing in it for me.
Zilch!
Doesn't he repeat the exercise?
Falls right asleep.
Tough.
Perhaps I can help you.
How?
I'm psychic as you've noticed.
Get that boy down here.
why he comes so quickly.
- That would be wonderful.
- Oh, but he's in Germany.
- I'll go and get him...tomorrow.
Tomorrow? Good girl!
Up and at it!
You're lying on something sharp,
look!
Didn't you feel it?
No, there's a numb spot on my back.
Strange...
Clean sheets? Is that necessary?
Herman will see you've slept with me.
- Is he jealous?
- And where'll I sleep from now on?
- I'll show you.
He's staying all next week.
It'll give me lots of time
for the treatment.
What'll you say about me?
That you're a writer in
need of some peace.
He knows I'm a member
of the Literature Club.
Isn't it a bit perverse, Christine...
...taking in two lovers at once?
Perverse?
You're going to help me
with Herman?
You care about as much for Herman
as for me :
not at all.A great deal.
Take the keys, so you
can come and go as you like.
We'll be back late. Bye...
Give Herman my regards.
I will, and you start your novel!
Drive carefully!
Chapter One
When I arrived at V. yesterday...
Damn...
I'm wearing your shirt, Johan!
Home movies?
Johan.
Henk.
Ge?
Snip, snip, snip...
Do you take Christine to be your
lawful wedded wife?
What is your reply?
I do!
I do!
All gone!
That's all... the next one!
Ge!
That's for Gerrit of course!
A real clodhopper's name.
Damn it! Christine, my girl...
She's had...
She's been married twice!
She's been f***ing married twice!
Why didn't you tell me?
What a god awful movie...
I don't like nature films...
Ge...
I've had Ge...
I'll try Henk.
Hello Henky!
I'm the first talking goldfish.
Another one!
Another wedding?
She didn't tell me!
Why didn't you tell me?
Three times...
...why didn't you tell me?
Married three times...
What a mess!
I'd prefer porn!
I'm in there too...
Tiddle-dee, tiddle-door,
who is number four?
Christine, darling...
What's this?
What are you doing here?
Sorry, I thought you were Christine.
The back's the same.
How do you know what Christine
looks like in the nude?
Because we went swimming
and I was in my bikini.
This is Gerard, the writer I told
you about. He's here to work.
Well...
Working with the whiskey bottle,
by the smell of it.
Let's go to bed, I'm dead-tired.
Tomorrow morning...!
Look at it this way...
I n Germany they're in need
of plumbers too.
So I set me up a business
with Dutch labor.
Pour me some more.
all working black...
Holland besides.
A lot of sugar, baby.
And they give me no trouble,
'cause if they did...
... I would report them to Labor
Inspection.
Those ham and eggs are just the
thing especially after last night.
Really, Herman.
I mean the long drive.
Don't be shy, Gerard's a writer.
- He's used to a thing or two.
- Stop it.
Damn, it's empty.
I'll get a fresh pack.
The world of Peter Stuyvesant...
... so much more to enjoy.
What do you think of him?
He's really got something.
How was it last night?
- Zilch.
- Zilch?
We hadn't met in weeks... and oopla!
He came and zonk! Fell asleep.
Tough...
You'll find out what's wrong,
won't you?
- You said you could.
- Sure, my love.
And you've always got me,
in case of need.
Or did you want us both?
No, I'm not like that.
Not the one and the other.
- It's more either/or.
- Either/or?
What are you two either/or-ing?
Gerard asked me about my morning,
and I have to work.
It's either working,
or neglecting the salon.
Working? Today?
I've taken the whole
damned week off for you!
It's just this morning, sweetheart.
Monday mornings I have to see my
salesmen. I'll be free this afternoon.
That's great! I'll be bored
to tears meanwhile.
- Do something with Gerard.
- He's here to work too!
So I don't work this morning.
Yes... show him around.
Or talk to him.
Then we'll be in a book.
What's the use of being in a book?
You know what? Take the car.
I don't need it anyway.
Shall we?
I have to get to the meeting.
Leave the dishes,
- They're here, Madam.
- Ah, gentlemen!
I've seen you before.
At Amsterdam Central.
That's possible.
Or someone else.
- I have an ordinary face.
- It was you.
I don't forget a bod like you.
So we're going to tour around?
Whatever you like.
You wanted to, didn't you?
For your work.
I don't have to tour for my work.
No.
I wanted to have a chat with you.
A long chat.
- Privately.
- With me?
There's nothing I can tell you.
I'm just an ordinary boy.
I always write about ordinary people.
As I said on TV, the ordinary man
is my central theme.
All of him.
Above...
... and below the belt.
Yes... you've been on TV,
haven't you?
And on the radio and
in the papers, sure.
- Is it true what they write?
- What?
- All the goings on in the studios?
- What do you mean?
About everyone screwing everyone.
What you read in the tabloids.
It's even worse.
- I could tell you stories.
- Tell me.
There's one bigwig
when he throws a party...
...the neighbors secure their kids
behind locks this big.
Kids six or seven years of age.
Girls, but boys too.
What do you think of that...
... little boys?
- Hello sir. Hi, Herman.
- Adrienne...
Madam told me to clean up.
Won't you join us?
Funny bunny.
Tell me more, Gerard.
Later in the car.
- Coming?
- Good morning.
- What the hell are you doing?
- For later! You with a famous writer!
Who cares... Bye!
