Blood, Sweat and Tears (Bloed, Zweet en Tranen)

I've got it, I've got it.

Goddammit! Little rat! After him!! Little bastard!

Hey... Hey, kid!

Quickly! Over here.

Where is that little rat?

Hey! Give it to me.

And now get lost.

Come with me, you.

Sing.

A little something.

Come on.

Can't I have lemonade?

You'll like the foam. It's really sweet. I liked it too when I was a kid.

Goddamn! Rach!

Rach, the swimming pool is broken again, dammit!

Dré, I told you they're coming next week... - Do I have to do everything myself?

There's a dead animal in it, for God's sake! Goddammit!

It was far too cold to swim anyway. - That's not the goddamn point!

Sweetheart...

It's okay, sweethearts. Daddy has a show tonight.

Hi, buddy.

Sorry, Rach.

He's already had a few. Keep an eye on him and bring him straight home afterwards.

Will do.

Goddammit! Shit, shit, shit! - Don't get so wound up, man.

This is a new car. - Not anymore it isn't.

Have you got anymore, Robbie? - No. I promised Rach I'd...

You promised Rach? Is Rach the one who pays your salary?

There you go.

Five minutes, André.

Goddammit.

Dammit. Goddammit! - Dré? Dré? Christ.

Are you alright? Sit down. Are you OK?

Yes, I'm fine. Maybe I should perform butt naked next time.

Some of you went canoeing, others did finger painting. Eh, Yvonne?

Great fun. And now, to round off the day, the king of sentimental songs.

In two months' time he'll be at the ArenA. But this evening he's here with us.

Ladies and gentlemen, specially for the Assenburg Insurance Group...

André Hazes!

It's my son's birthday.

He was eight, my little mate.

He wanted a big kite, he really couldn't wait.

His tears...

I don't know why.

The kite...

Give me ten minutes. - Yeah.

What's going on, man? - He'll be right back.

If he isn't, we want our money back. - He'll be right back.

So, tell me. Why did the toilet paper roll down the hill?

Does anyone know? So it could get to the bottom!

I just make them up. The Seven Dwarves had had a hard day at work.

So instead of walking home, they caught the bus.

Hi ho, hi ho, it's home from work we go.

And after a while, they started feeling sleepy.

So at the next stop Sleepy got off the bus. Get it?

Lonely Christmas. - Lonely Christmas?

Hey, what is all this? I put my balls back in the box a long time ago.

One more time then. Do you remember this one?

I... am here by myself Celebrating Christmas alone

The punishment I deserved I'm now doing the time

I stole for us all But it was the wrong call

Now you're spending Christmas with another guy

How could you forget me oh so soon?

Why is someone else sitting on my chair?

Are you off, professor? Done dancing?

We're carrying on for a bit.

Maybe I can still give my kids a gift

We've had Germany, England.

Hazes. Tim, you went to see him. - The singing bartender.

And?

As far as I'm concerned, that's what he should stay.

He was with Philips, but they decided to end it.

No, it wasn't like that. He decided to end it. That's what happened.

Right...

Do you know why? - He didn't want to be a crooner anymore.

Which is a bit strange, because he is a crooner. And that's all.

There's nothing wrong with that. Commercially speaking.

I think it's obvious when you see the man.

But he had a hit. Lonely Christmas. It was incredibly popular.

That can't just be the end of it. - If he were to stick to that genre,

he could do really well for years, but he doesn't want to do that.

So what does he want then?

Did you have a good talk with him?

Look who it is. The professor.

I work for EMI. Tim Griek. - Johan Cruyff.

Coffee? - Could you make that a beer?

Mo, a coffee and a beer.

They called me three times, so here I am. - Yes. EMI really likes your work.

And you? - I'm a staff producer.

I look after a number of the company's artists.

I go into the studio with them. And we try to come up with a great product.

A product or music? - I mean music, of course.

Cause I'm not a product. That's what they always said at Philips too.

'Product this, product that. Marketing. Product promotion.'

It made me sick. - I'm sorry I didn't mean to...

No, hold on. I don't have anything to do with a product.

I do music. Music I like.

Thank you dear.

TakeLonely Christmas.That is... - A great song.

The thing is I want to do something else.

Such as?

Blues.

I'd be a good blues singer too. I'm full of sorrow.

See you!

Piano? - No good?

I'm more of a guitar man. - Have you got a guitar with you then?

That's fantastic! Honestly.

That's exactly the direction I want to go in.

Right. But how about if we stay a bit closer to home to start with?

Goddammit, man.

You bastard! Goddammit.

Fabrics!

Hi, kid.

Top quality fabrics.

I want this one. For my mum. It's her birthday.

How much is it? - Two guilders.

Haven't got that much.

Then you know what you have to do.

Bravo!

Well, well...

Here you are, kid. You sang beautifully. - Thank you, sir.

Sir?

Don't you know who I am? - No.

Don't you know me from on television? - No, we haven't got a television.

My name is Johnny Kraaijkamp. - André.

What is that?

You? - Johnny Kraaijkamp said so himself.

Kraaijkamp? Johnny Kraaijkamp? From on television? Are you sure?

What is that?

He has been asked to sing on TV. With Johnny Kraaijkamp.

On TV? On TV? My little man on TV.

What did you do? What have you been up to?

I just sang a song at the market. And he liked it.

He should've asked Joop. He can sing better than you.

Come on. André can sing beautifully too.

What do you have to do? Sing? Will you get paid for it?

I don't know. - I'll have to think about it.

If you make a twit of yourself, we'll all look a fool around here.

Go and practise first.

If he's going to be on TV he is going to work for it. André!

Leave him alone. They're asleep.

I say what happens in this house. OK? I'm not letting you make me look stupid.

I'm not letting you make me look stupid. Bitch!

André, get up. Practise. Now.

Again.

And again.

Louder. I want to be able to hear you.

Hold that last note.

I'm not the one standing there. Nor is Joop. You are.

Hey, are you back with us?

Shit!

I feel terrible.

They gave you something, Mr Stressed Out.

It was awful.

You were great.

You weren't even there.

I'll be there next time.

If they still want me.

Of course they still want you. They love you.

All those emotions, only you can do that, André.

His blood pressure is too high, his liver enlarged, his cardiac function impaired,

he's diabetic too, I see.

Does he drink?

You obviously don't read the papers. - The papers?

My husband... drinks a lot. Heavily, I mean.

Even when not under stress.

But if he has concerts to do, he drinks even more.

And now he's got a very big one coming up, at the ArenA. It's sold out. So that...

Mrs Hazes, I really must impress on you

that your husband has to change his way of life.

Otherwise it will end badly.

What did you say to Rox and Dré?

That Daddy didn't feel very well. I'm not going to lie to them.

We've still got plenty of time, Rachel.

We've still got plenty of time.

You gave us such a fright, darling.

I'll tell you what, you can go now. - Yeah?

Thank you, sweetheart.

Dré? - Yes?

What are you doing?

Come on. Let's go to bed.

Goodnight, darling. Sleep well.

For everyone here in the studio and for you viewers at home too,

this is a historic moment.

I am very proud to present to you a very talented young singer

from Amsterdam. Here he is. Ladies and gentlemen, André Hazes.

Hazes. Did you hear the name Hazes?

Ladies and gentlemen, André Hazes.

Hey, Siem. He looks great on there, eh? Doesn't he?

Don't you get fed at home, lad?

You have to keep singing. Promise me?

I want to but I'm not that good at it.

My father says I'm alright but my brother is much better.

Oh, is that what he says? And how many records has your father sold?

None. - And how many do you think I've sold?

I don't know. Lots? Three hundred?

Three hundred? I think it's a few more than that.

Do you think I could have another egg sandwich?

Give the boy another egg sandwich, please.

And, uh... when do you think I could have a word with your father?
