Pulsar

It's almost the same blue

as in our bedroom.

Yes.

My Torino lamps, complete fakes.

Not bad, for a cad-monkey.

- Show me some respect!

If you can't sleep,

just count the taxis.

25, 26...

This pharmacy is incredible.

- Isn't it?

Can you please zoom?

Your favorite neon-green.

Specially for you.

- Great.

Apple of my eye

MADOU PHARMACY:

Hello there, how are you?

- Great. You?

I'm fine. I get by.

I went to the seaside today,

with a friend.

Back to work tomorrow.

Still, what we've had

they can't take away from us, eh?

You're right.

- Hang on a minute.

Look at this. Feel it.

It's soft, isn't it?

It's fleece.

Hold that, I'll just...

Look.

Practical, huh?

- Yes.

Here.

- No, that's for you.

Thank you.

- Pity Mireille's already gone.

You could send it.

- We could.

That's a good idea, eh?

- I'll see.

In America it can be cold 'til mid-June.

- I know.

Sleep tight.

- Thanks.

No more bets!

Mark.

No.

I've got a problem.

I think someone's using my network.

I already have.

It's off.

Do you know anyone who can help?

Kriku?

Is that the name?

Give me his number.

How are things there?

Some other time. I'm too tired.

No, I've got a tough day

tomorrow.

Sure. Definitely.

See you soon.

See you soon. Bye.

The plexiglass is lovely.

But the red's a bit too intense.

- That red is cool.

Remember what you yourself

once said?

If the grass was red,

everyone would go mad.

You said it.

Have you been to Lower East Side yet?

- I've only been here for a week.

Next Thursday:
Midlake.

No excuses.

- I've got a Zaha Hadid reading.

You don't have to go to that.

Have you seen the plans

for her Antwerp project?

Yes.

- Absolutely hopeless.

It's... Spielberg meets Duplo.

That's it.

So, next Friday:
Tonic Room.

The night train's here.

Sweet dreams, prince.

- You too.

See you soon.

See you now.

See you now.

"Skyping with the camera on

makes me sad, sweetheart.

OK with you if we leave it off?"

"Good idea, darling!

Sweet dreams."

Katia speaking, how may I help you?

- I'd like to block my visa card.

Is it in your name?

- Yes.

Have you got the number?

- Yes, just a moment.

Watch out, eh!

Sorry.

And your name is?

- Samuel Verbist.

Could you spell that?

Yes. V-E-R-B-I-S-T.

Verbist, OK.

Thank you.

Medical supplies- Frequent Stops

Hello.

Bye. See you soon.

I'm kidding.

How's Mireille?

- It's hard, but she's learning a lot.

Good.

- I bet she is.

New York is a fantastic city.

What exactly is she doing there?

- Working in an architect's office.

Watch out she doesn't settle there.

- Mike!

Go on.

- Thank you.

Good night.

- Good night.

Hello, it's Kriku.

- I'm on the 4th floor.

Do you think someone's trying

to crack my system?

Crack?

- Hack it, I mean.

I don't know. We'll see.

I've had my credit card blocked

just to be sure.

You'll need a new password.

I'd advise you to include

a typing error in your password.

Typing error?

- Aspelling mistake.

Like, 'school' with a 'k',

or 'plough' with a 'w'.

It confuses them.

Is it OK now?

- I don't know. We'll see.

Could you switch the modem off?

Wait about ten seconds

before switching it back on.

Niki.

I was on early shift

on Tuesday and Wednesday, too.

Yes.

I just hope that dispatching

doesn't mess everything up.

I don't want to get caught

in the rush hour again.

Yes. At 2 o'clock.

Is that your girlfriend?

Yes.

- She's called Mireille, isn't she?

Do you know her?

- I went to St-Luc with her.

She's working in New York now?

Cool. I knew she'd go far.

- Really?

The best thing would be

to reinstall your operating system.

I'd have to come back

with an external drive.

But your network is protected.

You'll have no more intrusions.

Great. What do I owe you?

- 40.

A message for you.

One day, we'll be able to grab messages

from the air. No more computers.

Yeah?

Here.

Good night.

"Hello, sweetie, still awake?"

"Still working.

Can't talk now."

"Deadline..."

"I'll explain later, hon."

You don't have a kid

but you have to register.

We didn't know

and only registered after 3 months.

We're on a waiting list

with Dikkertje Dap,

't Dolfijntje and Stampertje.

Now we have to wait to find out

if we've actually got a place.

Samuel!

- Coming.

Samuel. Come on.

- Here I am.

Subject:
cross roots

Kriku, my ass.

Hello, darling.

- Hello, sweetie.

Up already?

- I'm on early shift.

I had to replace someone.

I wanted to say good night.

How are things there?

- Tough, but it's a cool team.

I even got a compliment

from Sanders today.

That's no surprise!

How are things there?

You're very quiet.

Everyone's still asleep.

Only morons like me are awake.

Sam, no one said you have

to stay in that job until you're 40.

As soon as I get work in NY, I'll...

Sam!

- I'll be over.

Sorry, I didn't mean to...

I haven't had enough sleep.

I've been having trouble

with the computer.

The computer?

- Yes.

Someone on my network.

A hacker or something.

I had somebody come round,

but now I can't even log in.

Switch that thing off

and think about me.

I can't switch it off,

I receive my schedule by mail.

Yes, that's true.

Oh, sweetheart!

Maybe you should get

someone else in to look at it.

And say... Don't worry...

I can't hear you anymore.

Mireille!

Reverse vertigo.

- Reverse vertigo?

What's he doing?

- Measuring frequencies.

Where's it coming from?

Everywhere.

What now?

This is your perfect anti-aircraft gun.

You'll be safe with this.

Is it someone in the building?

Is the hacker someone from here?

- That's Liesbeth.

They're viruses.

- Viruses?

Yes. That's why it's important

to do an automatic scan weekly.

An automatic scan?

- We're coming to the caf now, OK?

August.

- August?

The middle of August.

- And what is it?

We don't know.

- Come on, tell.

No, I don't know.

I like not knowing.

I don't believe you.

- I don't know. I can't tell you.

I won't tell anyone else.

- But I don't know.

Here he is!

- Here's the mussels. We need a refill.

You can really hear the sea in this.

That's an old joke.

- No, it's not.

It's the shell principle.

What is it?

- Whaddizt? More Trappist!

We don't know, really.

- Yes you do!

No, we don't!

- As long as it doesn't look like you...

I didn't say that.

- She just said so before you got here.

We'll find out soon enough.

We're going out for chips.

- I'm in.

Sorry to bother you. This is for you.

- No, that's not necessary.

Could you make two copies?

On both sides.

Evelyne has made the place pretty.

That looks good,

the green with the flowers.

The light's on in the attic.

Isn't that your landlord's place?

Yes, that's Verdonck's room.

How's it going without Muriel?

- Mireille.

Chin up.

How much longer?

Ten weeks.

- It'll go quickly.

It's good to miss each other,

hunger is the best sauce.

These machines are unbelievable.

Is the original there?

Yes.

- There, look.

Listen, I've decided to give my body

to science when I die.

My family mustn't find out.
