- I would like to...

- Hang on.

- There.

- Thanks. And call Jansen.

Could you give me your login codes

so I can get things started?

Good luck.

Kasper, do you have a minute?

Some issues have come up.

- Just join us for a second.

- Yeah, sure.

- Mom? I'm tired.

- What?

Can we go to bed now?

Yes.

Soof?

Hi there.

- You know it's the weekend?

- Yes, but it's urgent.

- Your mom will be here soon.

- No, not Grammy again.

I would have preferred

to have my Saturday off too.

- Bye.

- Right.

Stop that.

Come on. Knock it off.

Sh*t. They're not eating.

Alright. Bring on the booze.

Not for me. For them.

- Do you have any ketchup?

- No.

Well, honey. If you don't want him,

I'll have him.

I'm married, Nes.

- That was unexpectedly good.

- Really? Why, thank you.

It's just... From the way you look...

I was expecting pumpkin soup

and vegetable pie. You know?

But it was very good.

Really great.

Vegetable pie?

Otherwise he'll never guess.

Tupac?

Did you know that in the seventies

we went on all these marches...

- so that you men'd be at home more?

- No. As a matter of fact, I didn't.

A chicken. A chicken.

Right.

Now I am up for it.

- Jesus, Soof.

- Hey.

- How did it go?

- Very well.

- So it was a success?

- Yes.

- Three more.

- What?

- Three new assignments?

- Yes.

Wow.

- You need to call a client.

- Please leave a message...

You have a prep meeting at nine.

- You must attend...

- The only time slot...

Hi.

- Can I help you?

- Yes.

I'm looking for something that doesn't

make me look like a vegetable pie.

KookSoof catering service.

Soof here.

Oh, great.

Good of you to call back.

Oh, excellent.

For how many people?

46? Alright, fine.

I'll book you in.

Yes, thank you.

85 people for 26 April.

Of course. I'll book you in.

I also have that in a safari print.

Nice.

Surprise.

Surprise.

- What?

- May I take your coat?

Can I take you to your seat?

- What's all this?

- Daddy's staying home.

Can I please tell her myself?

You're what?

I've taken a sabbatical.

But why?

Because it is your turn now.

But... Surely you don't need to give up

work altogether.

Shouldn't we have discussed this first?

Then it wouldn't have been a surprise.

Then who's taking care

of the mortgage?

You.

I'll take care of things at home

and you bring in the money.

We have high expectations.

Right, boys?

- Oh, really?

- Absolutely.

- Yuck.

- Sex.

- So you'll do the housework?

- Sure. How hard can it be?

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

Cheers, guys.

Hi.

- I'll go get an apron.

- Of course. No problem.

No, that would be fine.

Yes?

That same evening?

I'm going to need that table.

- Alright.

- No, I was talking to someone else.

No, we don't make our own cheeses.

It's French cheese.

I've booked you in. Bye.

Hello? Yes, of course.

For how many people would that be?

Alright. Sure.

- So where do I sit?

- Sorry, I need all the space today.

Why don't you go sit in your study?

Are you getting anywhere with that,

Gaby?

Right. Just press it down.

Like that.

Gently now. Excellent.

Gently. Like that.

Careful.

- Dies won't let me have the fart cushion.

- This one's mine.

Go to Daddy, boys.

- Hey, let go.

- No, I'm keeping it now.

Boys. What did I tell you?

- But Daddy's not home.

- We've looked everywhere.

Sorry.

I'll be right back.

What the hell is it this time?

There you are.

Kas? Kas.

What?

Go do something fun.

With the kids. Outside.

Now.

- Come on, Sas.

- What?

We're going to do something fun.

- Dad, I have homework to do.

- I know.

- If I don't pass, it's on you.

- Okay.

it's gonna be fun, fun, fun

Don't forget the shopping,

Mr. Sabbatical.

Mind your hands.

Bye now.

Shut up.

Dad, say something.

What's the problem? Just join in.

It's gonna be fun, fun, fun.

Yes, I know. I know.

Maybe you can squeeze me in?

No. No, I understand.

Oh, how stupid.

Come on, darling.

Excuse me.

Where can I find the school sex?

It probably says school snacks.

- How's the coat?

- My coat...

- Very good. Thanks again.

- You're welcome.

- Captain Cookie.

- Sorry?

Raisins. Crackers.

School snacks.

In the aisle with the biscuits.

You'll see.

Hang in there.

Here, Sas. And you take this.

Are you wearing that to work?

Hi, Mom.

Yes, I'm wearing this to work.

I've made too much food,

so you won't have to cook. Bye.

- Dad, do you think it has bones?

- I should think so.

- Soof, isn't it?

- Yes.

I spotted you on Twitter.

Very witty.

Where were you all this time?

Ehm... In the kitchen, mostly.

I mean, why are we only

hearing about you now?

Your style of cooking,

that basic know-how.

All those ingredients

you combine to perfection.

I've never seen anything like it.

Like this thing. It is vegan,

but it doesn't have the vegan feel.

Where did you learn to cook so well?

With a little help from goodfood.com.

Excuse me?

Sas?

Shouldn't you be in bed?

It is your fault

that I'm still on my homework now.

Do we have to do this now?

I'm making sabayon.

Careful now.

No peeking.

Are you ready?

One, two...

- And?

- Imagine:

A giant cooking suite,

right in the middle. In stainless steel.

With glass panes all round.

- And over here...

- Right.

- Look where you're going.

- Do we still have that sh*t?

- That sh*t's worth money.

- O God, more to clean up.

- This'll be storage. High storing racks.

- Right.

I was thinking here... No, there...

The cold storage.

- Big plans.

- The size of a walk-in closet.

- How do we pay for that?

- We have a little saved.

If you keep cooking like you do,

it will pay itself back. Mind your step.

Kas, I can't handle a building project

right now.

Don't you worry your pretty little head

about that.

I can't wait around all day

for the children to get back.

I'm going to build you a super kitchen.

So I said to myself: No worries.

I'll just pop it all into the freezer.

Gerrit?

- Attic.

- Attic?

No, no, No attic.

- Kas?

- It's working again.

Your Pole is looking for you.

- His name is Zlaveck.

- Whatever.

Kas? She has a dance class.

Oh great, Dad.

Sorry.

Oh, forget it.

Ladies and gentlemen,

good evening to you all.

And welcome on behalf

of the Postcode Lottery.

I hope you're enjoying your food.

We're about to serve dessert.

Congratulations

on the fabulous prize you've won.

You're all millionaires now.

That must be a wonderful feeling.

All I can say is I wish you all

a happy and a healthy life.

- Can I have a vodka?

- Sure.

There you go.

Excuse me.

Can I have that back?

We'll put in the siphon first.

- What do I use? This one?

- I use that for tap.

- It's long enough, isn't it?

- Sure.

Guys, we need to celebrate life.

I've brought booze.

Zlaveck doesn't drink.

- Really? Not even vodka?

- No. Coke, apple juice.

You call yourself a Pole?

- And you?

- I need a clear head in the morning.

Pussies.

- So do I use this one?

- Yes.

- Soof? I'm off to take the kids to school.

- Alright.

Here.
