Tiramisu Page #4

What do you think of her?

As an actress?

A huge talent...

A huge talent.

A wonderful actress.

And for years my muse, so...

And...

I know her very well,

so it's hard for me to be objective...

...the mother of our child.

Everybody, five minutes.

Tomorrow evening dinner at my place,

on the boat.

I'll do the Caipirinhas.

-Do we have something to celebrate?

Always.

-Anne, I really have to talk to you...

Jacob.

It would be nice if you came.

With your wife.

Or without your wife.

I would really like you to come.

Can you remember that summer

by the sea, with the children?

We slept outdoors under the stars and

spent the entire night staring at the sky.

It was so cold that night

but we were warm...

...huddled against each other.

We were one

and nothing could hurt us.

So much time has passed since then.

Children grow up,

relationships end... Love dies.

It's what it is.

It is how it always goes.

We had it all.

But we were careless.

Like two spoiled children.

And suddenly,

we're here with empty hands...

...and we're sad and angry...

...and bitter...

...and we don't understand.

We don't understand what went wrong.

And nobody can tell us.

Private Banking Department please.

I'd like to make an appointment

with Mr Veen for this morning.

It's extremely urgent...

Yes, I'll wait.

Wonderful, thank you.

I'll see you in a little while.

Finally. There you are.

You're one to talk...

Her acting is great.

You mean...

-Yes, who else?

I didn't realize she was so old.

-Old?

I have an appointment, so I have to...

Oh yes, we're invited to a party on

the boat tonight. At Anne's, that is.

When I first found that shopping bag,

I couldn't stop crying.

Then I put on that lingerie.

And then I opened a bottle of wine

and waited for you in bed.

But you didn't come home.

So then I drank the entire bottle myself,

took a taxi to the theatre...

I wanted to see her in the flesh.

Have you ever looked

at our bookkeeping lately?

By the way, I think it'll be fun

to go with you tonight.

And at that party I have to act

as if everything is fine?

Of course not.

You can do whatever you like.

How can you have a party

when the boat is being sold?

I've lived here my whole life.

I'm sad and you're throwing a party.

I'm also sad.

I would love you to be there,

but you don't have to.

You can also go to Lex's.

I'll only come if you invite Daddy.

With Vanessa.

Fine.

And if I can make tiramisu.

-Fine as well.

You said it was 10 euros.

-Thank you.

One of those...

...and that one there, the big one.

Nettie, 23 euro 50...

Transaction denied.

How strange...

Can you bring some wine

with you tonight?

As much as you have.

If it's okay with llse, of course.

Hey Nick, I didn't get a chance to buy

the casacha for the Caipirinhas.

Oh, really? Wonderful. Thanks.

Hola. I came to help.

Sweetie, I haven't seen you

in such a long time.

Cool hat.

-You like it?

Then it's yours.

I dreamed about Jacob. And in the dream

it was plainly clear that...

Luna, please.

The man is happily married.

I feel as if there's a special

connection between us.

You should wait a few weeks before

throwing yourself into a new love affair.

Do you think?

-Oh yes, Lex called. They're coming.

Good.

Did he call here?

-No. On my phone.

Do you speak to each other often?

Yes, of course. I have to arrange

things with him for Masja.

Can you fasten the clasp

on my necklace?

Red or white?

White.

-Yes.

Can you open a bottle of white?

You brought wine along?

Wasn't necessary.

Say Anne, tonight we're finally

going to sort things out?

I'll just set these down.

-I'm not leaving before we talk.

I only had these.

A Christmas treat from my in-laws.

Let's hope llse doesn't go

into the wine cellar anytime soon.

Splendid.

Emma. How lovely to see you.

I brought you wine.

Nettie.

You have a child.

-Yes. Well, not yet...

Sweetie, you look beautiful.

Emma.

Sweetheart, you look so good.

Caipirinha?

Hey Pilgrim.

One more for old times?

Look, there it is.

Isn't it a unique spot?

Jacob Meijer speaking.

Really?

That's terrific news.

Yes, thank you, fine.

Jacob.

Something about you

is different, but what?

Anne.

-Hello, Marieke Meijer.

Jacob, old boy.

Have another drink?

So this is your fiancee? Nick.

-Marieke Meijer.

Extremely nice to meet you.

-I have to...

May I?

I have to talk to you.

I just got a call from...

I don't want to know. Not now.

You can understand that?

Sweetie. You look great.

Did you cut your hair?

I was so afraid that you

wouldn't come tonight.

Luna, this is my wife Marieke.

I didn't expect you

to have such a pretty wife.

You know what the word

"tiramisu" literally means?

"Pick me up".

-No, "pull me out", right?

No, "cheer me up".

-Like "cheer me up".

Very fitting, Anne.

It's delicious, Masj.

I would like to say something.

Now I see it.

You're wearing lenses.

Don't you?

Looks good.

Good you could make it.

Yes, Masja rang and invited us.

So here we are.

Hi.

I got it.

"Young woman behind the counter".

Congratulations. Good.

Lex. Caipirinha?

-Thank you.

Cheers, Nick.

You've never seen my room.

You're right. Show it to me?

Oh Nettie. Speech. Speech.

Dear, dear boat...

...we've been together

for such a long time.

And what hasn't passed

before of our eyes?

When Lex first came to live here...

...you were a bit smaller,

yet very comfy.

Below deck, in the hold,

there were rehearsals.

New plays, young actors,

fresh from the theatre school...

When Anne came here

for the first time...

...she was hardly impressed

with you, boat.

She only had eyes...

...for Lex.

And Lex for Anne.

They were radiant.

People said:
Lex has fallen

for his actress again.

That was true.

But this time, it was for good.

First they got married,

and then they remodelled...

...and after that Masja was born.

A blonde angel.

She was hopping around the deck

in a little life jacket.

We taught her to ride a bicycle

downstairs in the hold.

She thought that Lex was still holding

onto her, but off she went, all by herself.

And then she shouted:

"Look, all by myself. "

And now beloved boat,

you're on the auction block...

...and that's how it should be.

-Nettie, stop it now.

Auctioned?

-Yes, auctioned.

Is it true, Anne?

-You've had enough cocktails.

We can pretend that it isn't so,

but we've done that long enough.

Boat. I salute you.

I've had a wonderful time

with you, but it's over.

All good things come to an end.

So that's that.

Nick, mix me up another?

Could I possibly say something?

Taco, put on some music.

Not now.

I think I'm in love with you.

They still have that awful beast?

What's his name again?

Wodan.

-Oh yes, Wodan.

Why didn't you ever come by?

I drove miles out of my way

just to avoid coming by.

I didn't know you were

so keen on selling.

I didn't really want to.

So, why didn't you call me?

I can lend you the money

Weren't you buying
