How did it go?

- Well, okay, great.

What did you talk about?

Fruitflies.

Will you come?

I'm still at home.

- Oh?

Well, I eh... I am still writing,

quite a lot of work, really.

O, too bad.

- Yes.

That's no fun.

- At what time is your next class?

Three o'clock.

I will go down town for a bit then.

- Okay.

See you tonight?

- Sure.

Hey.

- Hi.

Hey, little man.

What are you doing?

Well? Wat is it?

A car. A very nice car.

Can I help you?

- Set the table.

Right here? Like that?

Is it okay like that?

Too bad I couldn't make it.

- Yes.

I walk around the shopping center.

Didn't you buy anything?

I was looking for Bowie's live performance,

the BBC issue, you know...

But they didn't have it.

We'll put your toys aside, like this.

Does this one go in the box?

Did you have any lunch at all?

- No.

Yes actually, I had french fries

from the place next to the HEMA.

Hey.

- Hey, I am done here.

Did it go well?

- Yes, great.

Will you be going to Rosenstreet?

- Yes, I want to do some work.

Okay. I'll see you tonight then?

- Okay.

Hey.

- Hi.

How are you?

- Fine.

Do you want something to eat?

- Yes, I'd like that.

Didn't you order something?

- No, I thought... I'll eat later.

We have to talk. The school asked

me to work more hours.

But I'm not sure if I want to.

I mean, I want to have enough

time for my own projects.

Yeah...

No, throw it away.

Kees, that is corn. I'll put this here,

and you can put that behind it.

Do you want some?

Look, I was thinking.. the red ones for you,

Anna. And the blue ones for your sister.

Then both of you can mark the objects...

...that you would like to have

by placing a sticker.

And if it turns out that a certain

object has two stickers...

...then I propose that you draw lots.

Well, that's horrible.

Stop with the negative attitude.

I think it's a fair system.

Oh, fair, you say.

Both of you will have first pick.

All else goes to our aunts.

Here... aunt Koos, aunt Wea and aunt Zus.

It's like you're already dead.

I won't draw lots,

I'm not going to do that.

Listen,

it's very simple.

You will have to divide some things.

But I refuse to play auction with you.

I'm going home.

- Come on now.

Sorry.

We're not drawing lots.

For the thing that we both want,

we'll divide those in deliberation.

Sebastiaan is involved

with a woman at school.

How do you know?

- I saw them.

Through a window in Rosenstreet.

What were you doing there?

Were you spying on him?

- No, that is nonsense.

I knew something was going on.

With you, I always know.

You were peeping.

Why aren't you surprised?

Okay, he is cheeting. But we

all have our vices.

You knew.

He is a friend of mine, too.

He needed advice.

Why didn't you say something?

- That was between Sebastiaan amd me.

Not everything is about you, Anna.

You're not the center of the world.

Hey.

I thought I heard something.

Are you okay?

Hey.

I thought you were sleeping over

at Bobby's place.

Did you take a taxi?

Did you have a fight?

Will you sleep on the couch, then?

Are you one of those drunk girls?

Are you such a drunk girl?

Sometimes, I miss you so much.

Hi.

- Hello.

You came back?

- Yes. Just recently...

Oh.

- At the hospital again.

You play well, darts that is.

Well...

I should and say goodbye.

- Yes...

Will you come over to my place sometime?

To have drinks?

It would do me good.

- I will.

No, that didn't last very long.

I'm glad though,

that we separated.

It didn't work out.

And your son?

- He is at my sister's, in Mechelen.

Well...

Thank you.

God!

- Sorry.

I didn't hear you.

- Sorry.

I just phoned the airport.

I am a little worried.

- Yes.

I don't know what's keeping her, either.

But I don't understand.

Why she doesn't call.

I hope nothing bad has happened.

She will surface again, sometime.

Oh, sorry.

Go on.

- Thank you.

She is found back.

What a reception.

So concerned.

I'm really touched.

You could have told us.

Don't treat people like that.

Do you have to start nagging?

I just arrived.

Ah! Here you are.

Were you hiding?

You aren't glad to see me as well,

I shouldn't have come at all.

This place is really lovely.

This place must be a real

improvement for you.

Why does she act like that?

This should have been a festive occasion.

I find it quite festive here.

I could use a drink.

How long did I sleep?

- About four hours.

Was it bad?

- Yes... No...

What are we doing here, anyway?

What happened?

- Nothing happend. Nothing special.

I would like to go home.

Don't you feel like going home?

Why won't you talk to me?

I think I should cut my hair.

I like your hair.

Ah, come on!

- What was your name again?

My.. my name?

It's Bobby.

Bobby, I like your hair.

- Yes? You do?

Yes, Bobby has nice hair.

- I like curls.

Oh, curls. I have curls.

Yes, you have curls.

Hey! Are you peeping again?

This is Juan, the gardener.

That's my wonderful sister.

Hi.

- Hi.

This is my new boyfriend. Nice name,

don't you think? Juan the gardener.

Or do you want him, too?

It's okay, take him.

You can't stay mad at me

for the rest of your life.

Yes, I can.

No.

Press it, come on.

I think the connection is broken.

What was that, Bobby?

Guys, don't act so silly

will the sand. It will end bad.

And across, yes.

Dad, you should start at the side.

Yes, that's what I've been telling,

but they won't listen to me.

That woman... That woman at work

that you've been seeing...

I want you to end it.

Hey! Hello.

- Hello.

This is doctor Verkerke. I used

to work with him in Egypt.

Hello.

- Sebastiaan, my husband.

And this is my son, Kees.

I must go now

'cause I have to catch my flight.

Oh, yes, of course.

- Bye.

Bye.

His wife just died.

- Because of what?

I don't know.
