-Nothing. You'll get free publicity.

-Once more?

I said:
nothing.

It's free publicity for you guys.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

-Do you belong to this biking club?

-She's not a part of it.

The boys have expenses,

you'll have to compensate them.

-Makes sense, right?

-Yes.

-Okay, I'll pay for the gas, ok?

-And the rest of it...

You want a fun show, don't you?

Without us you have nothing.

No cash, no motorclub,

Is that right guys?

-How much did you have in mind?

-Five grand.

That's too much,

half of that is enough.

Okay, 2500.

Do we take it?!

Yes!

Do we get it now?

1500 now, the rest

after the show. Who?

Yes.

Here you go.

Wow, 1500 guilders guys.

Thanks Fien!

Ok guys,

let's race!

-Hello!

-What do you want?

-Business.

-What kind of business?

-A chance for you to earn something.

-Oh?

-I've got something for you.

-What is it?

You do some work for the

Japanese guys, don't you?

No, I work for

the broadcasting company.

Yeah right, everyone knows

you earn a little on the side.

Do they?

You need to get the Japanese

to sponsor Rien...

-Oh? And why should I do that?

-Because he'll be champion, just like Gerrit.

-Champion of sack race running?

-You're too funny.

He won again yesterday,

you were there.

So what if I offered him

a contract, sweet stuff?

-You get ten percent of his earnings.

-Can you garantee this?

-Hmmmm.

-Are you his girlfriend?

-No. But I will be.

-Really..?

-What do you say?

-I think...

...we should discuss the details in the car.

Allright.

-Maya!

-Yeah?

Maya!

Come over here.

What is the matter?

Just come.

And? Nice stuff, isn't it?

I drive for the factory. Look.

-I'm sponsored by the Japanese now.

-Far out. Will you be careful?

Come on. What could happen.

I could break something...

-That would be bad enough.

-Stop whining! Come on...

-...let's celebrate.

-Wait, I have to grab my coat.

Hello.

Is she coming along...?

Of course.

Then I'm not.

-Why not?

-Because.

-Why not!

-Because!

Damnit Maya,

both of you are coming along.

I don't think so.

It's either her or me.

Maya, I can't get rid of her.

She got me the factory contract.

Of course. So she could

take you away from me.

God damnit! At least

she's helping me get ahead!

All you can say is don't break something...

That's because I care about you

and she doesn't.

All she thinks about is the money,

I think about you. She's nothing but a cash register.

-Screw you then.

-So f*** off with your cash register with a c*nt!

Give me back the tagger, you prick!!

I've never seen

anything this beautiful...

Keep it on,

let's get the hell out of here.

-It's much too expensive.

-We can afford it now.

-So what are we going to do now?

-First, let's grab some chinese food.

That's not what I meant.

Where are we going from here?

Let's go see a movie afterwards...

-Bully!

-Damn! You little b*tch...

Why don't you tell me

where we'll go from now on?

Your deal with the Japanese

was very clever...

Business woman.

If you're that clever...

...how come you are still working

in a snack bar with your crazy brother?

Never had a lucky break.

-You've had one now.

-Uh-uh.

-Whatever Gerrit has done, I can do too.

-What his wifey can do, I can do too. Only better.

-I think we're on the right track.

-Me too.

With the factory backing, I'll go all over the world.

-Can I go with you?

-Uh-uh.

-To Japan?

Uh-uh.

It's beautiful over there...

Maya says you screwed the television guy

to get me the contract...

Is it true?

My father used to say:

"Life is like a kroket...

...when you know what's in it,

you'll lose your appetite for it."

My dad was a great guy.

Okay...

...I love a kroket,

and I'll still be eating them.

So, I'll see what this baby can do.

You're looking at the new champion.

Don't fall on your face.

-Are you coming?

-After six o'clock.

-I'll see you there.

-Sure.

Thanks.

-Daddy, can we have oranges?

-Buy us some.

-Can they have oranges?

-Buy some, Wim. We're on holiday.

-How much are they?

-For free. Special offer.

Thanks.

-Whoopee! Can we have two?

-I want to peel them myself!

No, no, Wim give me that bag!

-Who wants another orange?

-Me, me!

-Give it to me!

-Be quiet now, children.

Give me the peels,

I'll put them in the plastic bag.

-What's the matter?

-I'm okay.

You scared the sh*t out of me.

What's wrong?

...hand it over, those are my fries...

...they'll never find them.

-...but the police are on it, right?

-The police never do anything.

-...bad luck for Rien, huh?

-It's over.

His dad is devastated.

He's crying all day.

-Fien, help me!

-I've never seen my dad do that.

Just a moment.

-Hello.

-Hi. -Hi.

Sucks for Rien, doesn't it?

Once he's allowed visitors,

will you come along?

I can't stand hospitals,

they freak me out.

-What about you?

-I think you should go first, he'd like it.

-Okay, whatever...

-Ladies and gentlemen, all to the bus!

-She's great, isn't she.

-She's coping well.

-Do you think they will be staying here for a while?

-I think so. It's a good enough spot.

Hans, are you coming?

Can I come along?

There's nothing to do around here.

Sure.

-Here you go, dad.

-Thanks.

-Maybe I can get with her now?

-Don't even think about it. I have a better chance.

-She likes blondes...

-Are you nuts...?

The only way to get with her

is if you have a wad of cash.

-Don't talk crap.

-It's not crap!

How do you think she and Rien

got together? The money.

Are you coming?

-How is he doing?

-It has not really sunk in yet.

-Are you married to him?

-No.

-Living together?

-We were going to be...

-In love?

-Yes.

I'd consider if that will be enough

to last through this.

Pity won't help you, especially

in the beginning. It will fade.

And it will only make

things worse in the end.

-Here's a cup of tea.

How are you doing?

I'm rolling.

I'm playing handball...

They got me playing as a goalpost.

Last week I almost scored a goal.

But someone threw nails from the stand

and punctured both my tires.

-Is being here helping you?

-Revalidation.

I'm learning to piss again.

You have to punch yourself in the stomach

every four hours and it will come out.

You have to check the clock to see

if your shitting pills stopped working.

What a lovely conversation.

I don't want to see you again.

Keep the fur coat.

At least it will have

been good for something.

Take a walk if you feel like it.

It's pretty around here...

...Much prettier than in Japan.

-And?

-Let's go.

-I guess Rien is out of the picture.

-He needs a nurse, I won't be one.

-You sure got over him quickly.

-What's love anyway?

I need security. If I have it,

love will follow.

Hand over the money.

-Hello Rien. Hello.

-Hello.

It's great to see you!

Take it easy mom,

you're overreacting.

-You can get right in, you see?

-We had it adapted.

Can you manage?

At ease.

Dear Rien, what happened to you

can't be undone. We all know that.

But we sympathise with you
