You are running out of time.

I wonder,

perhaps you do not like women?

What?

Perhaps you are preferring boys.

No. Definitely not.

- You live in Amsterdam.

- Not anymore.

But you often go to Amsterdam.

- Why is this?

- To visit my friends.

- Friends. Gay friends?

- Not everyone in Amsterdam is gay.

Then who do you visit there?

Just because I go to Amsterdam

doesn't mean I'm gay.

It's like saying every Muslim is a terrorist.

- Is every Muslim a terrorist?

- No.

Are you?

What do you think?

You could be gay.

What makes you say that?

I saw Lawrence of Arabia.

And using your logic...

I could be just like

one of the Muslims in that film.

Yes. And look what they did to Lawrence.

- What did they do to him?

- They f***ed him, to humiliate him.

You think I want to f*** you, Martijn?

I hope not.

I could do it. Right here.

In front of the camera.

Would you like that?

Your move.

You know, Martijn,

you speak very good English.

I'm Dutch. We all speak good English.

Yes, but yours is better than most.

And so is yours.

Thank you. I studied in Nigeria.

So you're not Moroccan.

Tell me about your friends in America.

I don't have any friends in America.

Yes, yes,

but you speak their language perfectly.

I used to have some clients there.

- Tell me about that.

- There's nothing to tell.

- You are hiding something.

- No.

I'm not.

You are lying.

Get out of my face!

I'm not lying.

We shall see.

Check.

- Can't we... Can't we take a break?

- There are no breaks.

Then can't we quit?

You are willing to concede defeat?

No.

- Then we must continue until you lose or...

- Or what?

- You know what.

- No, I don't.

You will tell me when you are ready.

- What will I tell you?

- Eight seconds, Martijn.

- Help me a little.

- Six.

- Just say it and I'll confirm it.

- Four.

- Please.

- Two.

You've got to tell me.

Martijn, your flag has fallen.

- I should not allow that.

- What do you want me to tell you?

Technically speaking, it is cheating.

The game should be over.

I just need to hear it from you.

What is so important

that you would cheat, eh?

We were talking. We were talking.

What's the matter? You sound upset.

Relax. Relax, Martijn.

It's all right.

Let me see your hand.

- You are a dentist?

- No.

- A doctor?

- No.

- A writer?

- No!

No, wait.

A musician?

- No.

- You are lying.

I'm not. I'm not lying.

Martijn, you have to understand,

I hate it when people lie to me.

I have enormous respect for artists.

- Why is that?

- You play guitar?

No, wait.

Piano. Yes?

Yes, piano.

Jazz or classical?

- Mostly jazz.

- There you are.

Straight ahead or fusion?

Free jazz.

- You a fan?
