Paradise Trips Page #3

Go on, keep playing.

Sunny is with the old man.

- Is that why you're freaking out?

Go and get him.

Give me one good reason why.

- Because I am going to hit him.

F***. I think I broke my hand.

- Oh, my poor man.

Shall I kiss it for you?

What are you doing?

- Chill. We're on vacation.

Bull's eye.

Here comes my mum.

And she has her sleepy face.

That's not a good sign.

Sunny, go home.

The adults have something to discuss.

Go.

Bye, Mario.

- Sunny.

There goes my grandson.

You're not part of his life,

so I'd appreciate it

if you would leave him alone.

What is it? Is Jimmy too chicken

to come for him himself?

I'd rather not get involved

in your personal problems.

Do you think this is a healthy place

for your child?

What sort of parents are you?

Since when are you an expert

on raising children?

You're not rid of me yet.

You want to live in the here and now,

but you're stuck in the past.

Why do you think I fell for you?

Hey. Are you enjoying yourself?

Are you having fun?

You are just like your father.

- Yeah?

Yes, only you don't realise it yet.

- Well, then f*** it.

GRANNY LINDA:

Go, this is not a good time.

Don't provoke me.

- I only have one question.

What do you tell Sunny

when he asks about his granddad?

He was born while I was in prison.

You don't know

the sh*t I go through with him.

I didn't know they'd put you away

that long. I wanted to help you.

Help me?

Get away from me.

- No, damn it.

I worked for you my whole life

and look what's become of you.

Really? Look what became of you.

Worked all your life.

Always gone in that stupid bus.

As far as I'm concerned, granddad died

long ago. Get used to it.

Can't you see I'm busy?

What do you want?

- May I use your mobile? It's urgent.

Reaching my wife is urgent.

There is no coverage anyway.

God, damn it.

Can I call my wife first?

This is the answering machine

of Dockers Paradise Trips.

Keep it short.

Hello. This is Cindy.

Kyra's mum.

But I'm not even ten minutes late.

No. I want to speak with her now.

Don't you understand Flemish?

Tell you what...

You shitty, stupid cow.

Hey, are you mental or something?

Sorry.

Here.

Are you going to cry again?

I miss my baby.

All right, come here.

Go away.

Old fart.

Damn it.

You're looking glum.

I think you have a sunstroke.

It's too complicated to explain.

Then don't bother.

Linda?

Is that you?

I can't hear you. My mobile is broken.

Mario, why don't you let yourself go

a bit on the dance floor?

Let it all hang out, man.

And you'll see everything

from a different perspective.

That's the ignition. Turn it on.

Right, now the bus works.

OK, hold the steering wheel.

Like that. A bit higher.

And that hand over there. Ten after ten.

- Yes.

OK, turn the key.

Turn it. That's right.

Eat more spinach, boy.

OK, forward.

- No, no, silly.

That is the accelerator. That is

the brake and that is the clutch.

Come in.

Don't look. Turn around.

OK, you can look now.

For me?

Thanks, kid.

Tell me a story.

I don't know any stories.

But if you like I can play you

a song on the guitar.

OK.

Crawl into bed then.

Mario.

Stop it. Stop it.

Come on, man.

Stop doing that.

Hello?

Stop doing that. Stop it, Mario.

Are you on drugs or something?

Jimmy, you must tell Sunny

the truth about Mario.

It's the only solution

to all our problems.

Why would I do that?

Because you have suddenly

seen the light?

I really like that little boy.

I would be a good granddad.

Super Mario Granddad.

Oh please. Get some sleep.

Can I join you there for a bit?

Do you remember

when I returned from Benidorm

that I brought you that guitar?

You were so happy.

It seems like it's the last good memory

we have.

Our problem began with the law,

which made a criminal out of me.

Fine. Find someone else to laugh with.

Jimmy, wait a bit.

We haven't finished talking.

Our entire situation here was set up

by those women, don't you see?

What?

- It's a plot.

Your mother and Miranda.

Or do you think it's an accident we're

here sitting on a rock like two idiots?

Shut up.

And stop following me.

You will remain right here.

I f***ed it all up.

Look, I don't hate you. It's just

that... You cannot be trusted.

Not yesterday, not today,

or tomorrow.

Come on...

I have my life now, and you have yours.

I'm not blind, OK?

I can see you're OK, that you're happy.

All right, son...

It's because I love you very much,

that I won't bother you anymore.

Dad.

Sorry about your nose.

I can live with that.

So, what level have you reached now?

I almost finished the game.

Got you. You spoke to me.

Oh man, you tricked me.

So are we friends again?

On one condition.

Take a sip of that Coca-Cola.

All right, fine. I'll do it.

This is the answering machine

of Dockers Paradise Trips.

Please leave a message after the beep

and we will return your call.

Linda, it's me.

Please pick up.

We need to talk.

I miss you.

You're not going to leave me, are you?

I'm a huge idiot.

And I know I never say it, but...
