Flodder 3 Page #2

and the garden a bit.

Yesterday, I said to Kees that we

had to clean up the mess.

Sort things a bit. Exhaust pipes on one

side and tires on the other.

We're working on it, Sjakie.

We had to get used to this

neighborhood.

But we're doing better and better.

Kees is playing tennis for instance.

How come?

He has to learn first, so he started

by watching the girls play.

You can learn a lot by watching.

And Ma's visiting the neighbors.

She got an invitation.

That's nice to hear.

Here's the envelope. It was for a party

or a demonstration or something.

With free booze. Just her thing.

But this was for the people who lived

here before you.

That shows how quickly they accepted

us here.

See you, Sjakie.

Mascara makes your eyes shine.

Our mascara's waterproof.

I'll give you all a bag with our

products.

Where did you hide the booze?

How did that Flodder woman get in?

She had an invitation, somehow.

Mrs Flodder...

-Nice shelves.

Did you read all of it?

Will you join us again? I poured

you a coffee.

I need something to wash it

down with.

Gotcha.

Sorry, please continue.

Our products have been tested

on lab animals.

What kind of animals?

Rabbits, I think.

-Rabbits?

Why do they need eye shadow?

Ever seen a rabbit go out?

They're breeding enough as it is.

You have to remove your make-up

before you go to bed.

Remove it? I can tell you never

go out.

After I pick up a guy, I don't

want to scare him.

I'm fed up, Mrs Flodder.

You keep talking over her.

I thought we were supposed

to have some fun.

Let's keep it nice, ladies.

See? I'm only kidding.

I think this whole demonstration

is wasted on you.

Do you think so? Why, bony b*tch?

I could come back another time.

I was only trying to say...

-I know what you're trying to say.

They're 45 guilders per bottle.

Ladies, ladies!

Ladies, stop it!

Is that the demonstration lady,

darling?

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but do they

look good?

That terrible Flodder woman.

Will you join us for a drink?

-First a shower.

Let me know if you need help.

The men's toilet is full of b*tches.

Pervert!

A shame I can't take you home. I'm

not allowed through Zonnedael.

I'll just walk the last bit.

Thanks for the lift.

We'll get you, coward.

What's he doing?

-Run, Kees, they're crazy.

Cowards!

We're teaching this pervert

a lesson.

Forget about it.

We don't want to hurt you.

What was that?

I learnt this today at my karate

lesson.

Next week we'll be kicking pieces

of wood in half.

I guess they were lucky then.

That looks expensive.

-Are you talking to me?

You've got some expensive bags.

You look more like the type for

a pushcart.

What are you on about, dude?

I like a big mouth.

Where are you going?

-None of your business. Home.

Stay here, girl. There's plenty

of room.

Do we know each other?

-Maybe.

But I can't remember.

-Alright then.

Have you got a light?

Nice lighter.

-Yes, it is.

It was a gift.

-Yeah right, it's pure gold.

Ok, it wasn't a gift then.

Do you live around here?

-Behind there.

Want to have a bite?

-Are they feeding the ducks?

I like you.

What about the Boeuf Brouill

restaurant?

Are you pulling my leg?

Their staff doesn't even make enough

to eat there.

Yes or no, girl.

I eat there almost every day.

Something wrong?

I'm afraid to get in.

I only started working here today.

My name's Jacques van Kooten.

Most people call me Sjakie.

My name's Mirjam.

Where do you work?

-At the Social Affairs department.

I'm the new office employee.

-I work there too.

At the end of the corridor.

Isn't that very far?

-Yes, but it's close to the fire escape.

You're funny.

-Can I get past?

Oh dear.

It'll come back.

This lift keeps going around.

A bit like life itself.

We slowly go up and then we

slowly go down again.

Sometimes you go through a dip

but then you go up again.

You're philosophical.

Maybe I think about things

a bit more.

I really have to catch my bus.

Do you mind?

Go ahead. I'll wait for my bag.

See you tomorrow, Sjakie.

Is this yours?

-Yes, thanks.

Hey, where's...

-It's all spread out downstairs.

Clean it up yourself.

That Flodder woman ruined the

demonstration.

She covered us in hairspray.

And then she took all the bags

of samples.

I brought the Flodders up

at city hall.

But they didn't listen to me.

They're too busy with education for

the disadvantaged.

And subsidies for immigrants.

And shelter for homeless people.

They don't care about our anniversary

celebration.

Bram's mother told me he and his friends

were beaten up by that family.

Without any reason.

-Somebody should do something.

I talked to Reinout De Graaf.

He hates those Flodders too.

Do you think he can do something?

He may know a legal way to deal

with them.

He also helped us with the building

permit for the garage.

He'll have a look at it.

Do we have a sharper knife?

This is nice. What is it?

Calamari. Squid.

I didn't know you could eat that.

It's one of the specialties here.

You never know what you'll get.

It's always a surprise.

At the bottom it's still warm.

Do you want more?

-Depends what you're offering.

This feels like tomato.

No, it's peach.

I love peach.

Why would people throw it out?

This all we need.

I'm not so sure about that.

Is there any wine?

One moment.

They serve heavy wines here.

Can you handle alcohol?

I've always been able to keep

it in.

To our first date.

You're not getting any ideas,

are you?

Tomorrow I'll have forgotten

all about it.

About me too?

That depends if we'll have some

more fun.

You guys are all the same.

Do you like football?

-Yes, but where do you find 11 men?

I mean tonight's match.

It's sold out.

-I always have a spot.

Are you coming or did you have

other plans?

No, no plans.

Wait a moment, guys.

Tastes pretty good.

-That's what I thought.

Real Belgian chocolate. I got

20 boxes on the cheap.

I somehow understand they

don't sell.

You don't want to eat your own

masculinity.

Just think of someone else.

I'll explain one more time.

I'll drink the two beers faster than

you'll drink the one jenever.

That's impossible.

I'll drink my glass and then you

can drink yours.

You'll never win. What do we bet?

If I win, I get those three bags

of coffee.

And if I win?

You'll get fifteen minutes with

Jolanda.

Deal.

-We can't touch each other's glasses.

No, that would be cheating.

Do you know where Ma is?

I haven't seen her all day.

I don't know where she is.

-Strange. have you seen the opener?

Handy boyfriend to have.

But now I can't get to it.

-Indeed!

That's the third time this week.

And always that loud music.

-Imagine being their neighbors.

How can we sleep with this noise?

It's antisocial.

It might stop soon.

-They've been going all week.

Those lowlifes only think of

themselves.

Tomorrow, we're going on holiday.

-That's why I want to sleep well.

It's such a long drive. And Pepita's

getting all nervous.
