Suzy Q

- My dear, you have courage. - Darling, I'm very happy with it.

Nice, darling.

Something to do, well I'm curious .

All ration from wartime.

Take a smell... here.

We ate this during the war.

You did, but I had the best meat.

Dear, I just need to have something to do.

Ko, you mean a stinky bankruptcy.

At least we have lots of junk food in storage now.

- Yes, that's nice. - Yes.

What do you do this weekend?

I'm going to marry someone... horny Betty from across the street.

No, she is my girlfriend.

You can look for someone else, for in your dreams.

I want to marry Betty.

What is she to do with you Suzy?

Taste something.

You still did not close off that shutter.

No.

It needs to stay open, for Victor.

Who is Victor?

A rat.

The new landlord of House ten Cate.

Why don't you kill him?

Why should I?

I got attached to him.

Rats have character.

Palmer, you got to congratulate your dad with his new business.

My plectrum.

Hello Zwier... hello Zwier's sister.

I heard everything!

Give it back!

- Come get it. - Come here!

Don't be annoying.

- Come. - Give it to me!

Guys, dad started a grocery business at home, funny is it?

You can do your shopping at home now.

Hello grocery man.

Hello... madam.

- How much is a piece of soap? - 90 cents each.

Oh, that's expensive. May I smell it first?

- Sure... Do you have a second? - Yes.

Madam, the best quality.

It stinks.

Madam, this is an old fashioned but delicious smell.

Modern smells are harming your nervous system.

I can give 50 cents, mister grocery man. Money is scarce.

If you want to have a warm meal you'll have to pay for it.

Your dad also needs to make a living.

Good for dad that he has something to do again.

I'm so happy for him.

Leave it. Your mother doesn't understand much.

What is it this time?!

What am I doing wrong?

It will never be all right!

- Can't I sing with you guys tonight? - No.

I mean I will sing and you play.

- May I hold your guitar for a second? - No.

You will never gonna look like him.

What do you mean?

Mick just has it and you don't.

Who's telling that I want to look like that Mick Jagger of yours?

Where is the gig tonight, S.O.S. or Oase?

In Oase of course.

Looking forward to!

Dammit, what a rotten smell.

- Boy what are you doing? - You have a dead nose.

I am the savior of this home.

Everything I touch fails, it's despairing me.

I can throw it away again.

I want you to stay here for a bit.

Come here, to your mother animal... Come... have to.

Let me smell your neck.

Children always smell good there.

In a few years you will smell like an old man.

I feel just like some exaggerated foetus.

Come on, don't be sad, you're like me.

You are too young to think that way.

I'm just reading that life makes sense, that everything has a reason.

You are hearing about it only now?

Oh well, we have to return to this earth over and over again.

To finish it off. Until we are all perfect.

- The thought of it alone is tiresome. - To return as an accident?

Accident?! Zwier...

- Your father and I loved each other. - Please mom... save me the details.

A first child is always difficult...

but you'll ever be my dear Zwierepier.

Can I go now?

Are you leaving?

- I'm going with you? - Who says so?

I'm ashamed of you.

Hey Zwierepier, come listen to my new song?

- No, you aren't going. - Why not?

Imagine it. You are much too young.

I am cleaning the neighborhood.

If I had a carbine I would've cleaned out that pigeon house already.

Actually I can shoot him... Only need to aim well.

Pull the trigger and...

Crazy Zwier.

Everyone can see us in here.

Are you kissing... this is not kissing.

You want a suck kiss of course.

Darling, do you still love me?

Why should I not love you?

If you love me just a little bit then we're halfway at least.

I know what you are going to do, Ko ten Cate.

You are hurting yourself.

I digest.

You are still wearing your slippers.

Hello.

Mom, Zwier is stealing Betty.

It's his girlfriend.

Hmm delicious tea... I always feel better after drinking it.

I was thinking mom...

suppose...

suppose you aren't here anymore...

what then?

You still got your dad then.

Your brothers... auntie Zus.

Suppose I won't be here anymore?

I don't worry about you... the way you are walking through life.

I already know you will get incredibly old.

Suppose, suppose that I am dead.

Will you miss me very much?

What are you doing?

You're too young to worry about death too much.

- Let's talk about babies then. - Suzy, do something...

like homework.

These little sweet children's skins... sweet smiles...

- Tiny fingers... - Dirty diapers... is what I remember.

Washing diapers every sunday, bah.

When I think about it.

Not for you Suzy.

What if I come home with a baby?

You gotta find a nice chap first.

How do I find that nice chap?

Start doing sports... or become a member of some club.

- What kind of club? - I can't tell you now... check the phonebook.

Almighty! A fat mouse.

What a giant.

What's your name? Come here.

What a sweetie you are!

What's that between your paws?

- Anything else? - Same.

Faked ID cards... smuggled weapons...

blew up some tanker vessels... killed a few.

Who is he worrying about it? Nobody.

Venerable neighborhood and neighbors.

Unfortunately not from my own writing this time...

but I will read from "Me, Jan Cremer".

On the train toilets there are signs stating:

Please don't use the toilets while the train holds in the station.

I always do.

When the train holds I'm going to take a poop, for fun.

Often it's useless. I don't need to and am pressing for nothing.

But at least I tried to.

Screw you up... Shag you up...

Press you up...

Eat you up...

Drink you up... Sleep you up...

- Wake you up... Press you up... - Dream you up...

- Do you know what you're talking about? - You scare me.

How long have you been doing this?

What are you talking about?

You don't even know what you're doing.

As far as I can tell you shouldn't do this.

I'm rehearsing for the future... when there will be huge crowds.

- Doing what? - Talking. Reading from my work.

You?! Don't let me laugh.

The only thing that suits you is a job in the rain coat factory.

How is your back? Should I give it a massage?

Can I make you some hot milk?

I'm going to bed.

Asleep already?

Nothing. Wondered if you were asleep already.

Now I'm in the smoke. Stop that cigarette.

You forbid me everything.

- Do you still love me? - From the deepest of my heart.

You may talk on... and I will slowly fall asleep.

I feel terrible. Without a job.

Dear, I'm making enough money.

It's weekend now. Don't think about work.

Search the ads in the papers tomorrow.

I'm the joker.

I'm not gonna carry boxes around all day long.

Those 9 to 5 jobs weakens all these men.

Leave it Ko, not now.

The kids will come home any time now.

Hey Betty, are you a renegade?

This is Zwier, my neighbor. That's all.

What are you doing with a sucker like him?

Don't.

You'd rather date this little rat.

Shall I tell you something. Betty is my girlfriend.

None of your business.

- Right? - Not anymore.

I'm in love with Zwier now.

But Betty, you're mine.

Dad, I think you're in the wrong room.
