hit her in the face like a wet rag...

...Leonie tried

with a lot of masturbation..."

Bri, what is this?

Since when have you

been writing books?

838 pages.

I've been writing since forever.

Diaries, stories.

I've told you, didn't I?

- No.

"Leonie was a soldier without weapons.

A Dear Abby without answers.

How to tight the erosion

that tormented her soul...

...she didn't know."

It's kind of, like, about myself.

Not literally, but still.

You have nothing to complain about.

- How so?

Men being interested.

- Right, but always the wrong kind.

Whispers in the street,

hands on my ass in the subway...

...listening to bullshit just for a date.

I want something different.

- Good evening, ladies.

This is Harry. I'm Jan.

We felt like having a drink.

We thought maybe you want one too.

Hey, Dennis, give these ladies a drink.

It's on me.

So this buddy of mine knows someone

who's into apps.

We were talking about investing in that.

What do you do?

- I wrote a book.

It will be published soon.

- A book? A diet thing, I guess.

No, it's, like, literature-ish.

- Oh, chick lit.

With a lot of sex

and a ball-busting plot twist.

Know what? I'm going home.

Mariska, are you coming?

Hold on, I want to talk about literature.

And you have to points

I'd like to discuss.

B...

Bri, what are you doing?

He was an OK guy.

Yeah, very OK.

As OK as a horse dick.

For once I'd like to have

a normal discussion with a guy.

Who looks at me instead of my b*obs.

- You've got those publishers tor that.

They're interested

in a different side oi you.

What do you mean by that?

- What do you want, Bri?

You are who you are.

Be happy with that for once.

Anyone would kill to look like you.

And you're still not satisfied.

Don't be so difficult.

Bri, this is it.

Right? It's all you're going to get.

Be satisfied with what you have

and who you are.

So this is it?

For the rest of my life?

Dicking around with drunken idiots?

- But that's fun.

Every day on my knees

to cram feet in a pair of shoes?

What's wrong with shoes all of sudden?

- Nothing. But there is more, Maris.

Don't you ever think about that?

Brigitte, there you are.

- It's nice around here.

Yes, of course. I'm on my way.

Herman's at the railway station.

I'll go and pick him up.

Welcome. Mi casa es tu casa.

- Sorry?

Mi...

Never mind.

It belongs to my parents.

It's been in the family for about 30 years.

Jesus, what a lot of books.

What's on the program?

Practicing.

- Oh, OK.

Nice.

Cows.

Everyone...

...masturbates.

You too, don't you?

- None of your business.

In any case, you have to regard it...

...as the protagonist going through
