- Do you?

I'm glad father had several copies made.

How much do you want for it?

Are you serious?

It's not a very special one.

I've always wanted to have a violin.

I'll look it over first

and when you come back again...

...we'll discuss the price and you decide.

What are your plans in Holland?

- Seeing relatives, and some business.

Where are you staying?

I'm an American

so I stay in the American Hotel.

That's why I'm here. I want to ask you

if you know people who...

Excuse me, neighbour, I just came in

to ask how the negotiations are doing.

Their new offer is due any day now.

But did you see our neighbours?

Idiots.

They sold for far too little.

OK, I've got appointments.

I'll be back soon.

- Yes, I'll see you then.

We're sitting on a goldmine.

They're in a hurry.

- But my wife is ill. It's her leg.

We have to have a decision soon.

-It will be all right, trust me.

Fifty?

- Fifty.

His neighbour, Carstens...

He negotiates on his behalf.

They're the last two.

How will you solve that?

- There's time enough.

He must know our offer is reasonable.

I've contracted the demolishers.

They need to start soon.

What kind of man is it?

A cabinetmaker who calls himself

a violin builder. Widower. One son.

A special lad.

What?

- No, nothing.

Theo, wait a minute.

A registration form?

- For the Academy, to register.

My finals aren't till next year.

- There's no harm in applying early.

Dad...

- What's up? Aren't you glad?

Ebert is sure to pay up.

- No, Dad...

I want to go into business.

- What?

I take no interest in architecture.

No... I don't understand you.

We've always walked through town

discussing town planning, the canals...

No dad, you do the talking and I listen.

Such are our discussions.

I don't want to go to university.

Perhaps further north

there's some money to be earned.

Most of the peat's gone.

What's the matter?

Sieger won't acknowledge it.

Why not? It's his duty.

Juniper extract?

An abortion?

- Please.

No... Nobody is above life and death,

dear girl.

But...with Juniper...

How's my Little Pet?

Fine.

- Good.

Here, this will calm you down.

Open your mouth, please.

Come on then, it does help.

What did Bennemin come in for?

He came for some Theriac.

Christiaan...

Yes?

Pretending to be the doctor

in the peat field.

I beg you not to do it again.

You're my darling.

I don't want you to get into trouble.

Promise me you won't do it again.

When I see Amshoff, I'll tell him to go

and see people in the peat fields.

All right?

Christiaan?

Promise?

All right then.

Neighbour, neighbour...

How can they?

I don't... They sold out to them.

Are they pulling down our houses too?
