Tiramisu

Anne, you were brilliant.

-Thank you, good to see you here.

Thank you.

Fedor. I still don't have the new script.

How about resting for a few days first?

-I'll just ask Joost for a copy.

Sweetie. You're my idol.

I'll never be as gifted as you are, never.

You're gifted too prettier than me.

And younger.

The younger the better.

Did you notice I left out

an entire piece of text?

I'd get dressed if I was you,

the press roaming about.

Exactly why I'm taking my time.

Was that Lex in the audience?

-I don't know, didn't see him.

With that girlfriend of his?

What's her name again?

I can't recall her name either.

Vanessa? No, Veronica.

-Liar.

Isn't llse here yet?

-That must be them.

Here she is.

Mrs Slot, great to be able

to shoot here. Fine atmosphere.

How did the premiere go?

-What's your impression?

I certainly want to watch

your show sometime.

Splendid. Drop by afterwards

and we'll discuss it at length.

I want to know how much you've been

influenced by your years of working...

...with Lex Kessels? We're doing

a special about young actresses.

We interviewed Vanessa de Jong,

his girlfriend.

And now... you.

Well, where to begin...

Yes, Lex had a tremendous influence

on me. As well as my parents, friends...

...my nursery school teacher, I was

simply crazy about her, my sister...

...and the local baker also

had a huge influence.

You don't mind if I take a shower, right?

One more question:

what's your next role?

I'll be doing the lead

in the new Houellebecq.

Oh, cool.

Did you get it?

Nick, darling, I haven't had a joint

in years, but now I could use a hit...

...or two.

Take care, will you?

I don't feel a thing.

Was the same in the old days.

Watch the drinking with it.

-Is there still champagne?

The mess people manage to make.

You can't even begin to imagine.

The woman I'm busy with now,

she spent 545 euros on a pair of shoes.

For a few scraps of leather.

Oh yes...

Well...

-No, don't say it.

What?

-What you were going to say.

What was I going to say?

Never mind.

Take me to your house?

-No.

Take me to your house?

Take me to your house?

-No.

I don't have a house, it's a boat.

You've got to have sturdy sea legs, which

you don't. You'll probably just puke...

...and I'll have to clean and I really

don't feel like cleaning it up.

Take me to your house?

-All good things come to an end...

...so better not to delay, now we still like

each other, let's part as friends. Agreed?

Take me to your...

-No.

Toodle-loo, cameraman.

F***.

Mrs Slot?

Mrs Slot?

You have any idea what time it is?

I just fell asleep.

Sorry to disturb you.

I'm Jacob Meijer.

Your new bookkeeper.

We have an appointment.

The morning after the premiere?

I don't think so.

F***.

-Mrs Slot...

We had an appointment on the 8th...

...but that would have been

the day after your first show...

...so then we rescheduled for today.

What happened to my old bookkeeper?

The one with those ears?

Roelof? He retired.

I took over his company

a year ago.

These were lying on the steps.

My Pradas.

You have no idea what these cost.

Yes.

Well...

Shall we get started?

Did you find it?

Under the stairs

at the end of the hallway...

...left, in the bathroom.

BURN CREAM:

Do you only work

in the theatre, or also film?

Only the theatre.

-You once made a film, right?

Really? Which one?

I love going to the movies,

but just don't get around to it.

It was never released here.

-And not in America either, right?

Do you live in Amsterdam too?

-In Diemen.

I would like to start working.

I thought I'd first address...

...the administrative backlog

of the last few years...

...and then see how the two of us

could develop a better system.

A better system...

-Yes.

Sounds like a superb plan, Jacob.

In the meantime

I'm going back to bed.

Have you worked here long?

-A very long time.

Since she played Nina

in The Seagull.

Right after she met Lex.

My doctor wants me to take it

a bit easier, but I do it for her.

She seems like

a special woman, huh?

I was planning to stop

at a certain moment. But, well...

...sometimes things happen

in a person's life...

...then you just can't

run out on someone.

Hey Nettie.

Five good reviews and one bad.

Anne's being praised to the stars.

I came to take a quick shower.

Where's she hiding?

Hi, I'm Luna.

-Jacob Meijer.

I thought you were finally

living with someone.

I was. But I ended it yesterday.

So I'm back to being showerless.

Hello.

Hey Nettie. I thought

you went to Lourdes?

Lourdes? How wonderful.

No. Santiago de Compostela.

The reviews are stunning.

Where is she?

Sleeping.

-Come over to Anne's.

We're making sushi.

Okay. 'Til later.

Oh, sorry. Didn't see you.

Hi, Joeri.

Jacob Meijer.

-Nettie, got a sharp knife I can use?

At that actress's place, yes.

Shouldn't take too much longer.

I'll be home as soon as I can.

Bye.

She's awake and wants

a glass of wine. I'm off.

Isn't this fun? A bit like

the old days, when I was sick.

I can't make much of this one.

The Pasteuning company.

A deduction for 369 euro.

You must admit it's delightful.

Wine.

I always assumed it fell

under... what's it called?

PR? No, I hardly think so,

Mrs Slot. Here's another one.

The Naughty Company, 426 euro.

-Lingerie.

Or do you think I'm more

the off-the-rack type?

Are you married?

-Yes.

Children?

-No, not yet.

But I do want them. I mean "we".

I would think twice if I was you.

Great shower.

Taco wants to know if you'll eat sushi.

The others are there already.

Have you read it yet?

Good piece. Though pretty intense

you have to do the entire play nude.

I've gotta run. Can I borrow some money?

-You know where to find it.

You're a gem. See ya.

Well, you live way beyond your

means. You regularly eat out...

I'm not going to scrimp on food,

then I might as well do myself in.

And the mortgage,

its simply too expensive.

Yes, but what am I supposed to do?

-Can't your ex-husband help?

Out of the question.

-Have you even tried...

We haven't exchanged a word

in more than two years.

I'm staying here. No matter

how many threatening letters I get.

Threatening letters?

-I'd say so, yes.

I can show them if you want me to.

Oh my God.

Why didn't you forward these? These are

distress warrants. From eight days ago.

I thought, I was eligible

for a postponement, right?

My tax payments are always postponed.

-How can you be so offhand about this?

I'll have to go talk to them

first thing tomorrow.

I hope I can still do something, but

I'm afraid you're facing foreclosure.

Or even worse.

I really don't know if I can undo this.

I don't want to lose the boat.

I want to stay here.

My daughter was born here.

We thought you forgot.

Of course not.

I'd never forget Friday.

Same time, same station?

No. Same Nico, same Eef.

Just have to put

my briefcase away.

Where does an actress like her live?

Or are you sworn to secrecy?

Not at all. She lives on a boat.
