That's right.

There is no other choice.

Tell him that.

But everything will be fine.

Exactly.

They're coming. All of them.

Good.

Which department of Philips

do you work for, if I may ask?

Domestic Appliances, I see. Nice.

Because I actually have

a Philips toaster at home,

but it doesn't work.

Wherever I go,

whatever kind of circumstances I'm in,

as soon as I say I work for Philips,

people start complaining about

their broken stuff.

Do you think that's strange?

Customers get worthless stuff,

but they aren't allowed to complain.

Then don't sell them.

Well,

at least we make money on that stuff,

instead of it costing us.

Like with that f***ing showpiece,

the wide-screen TV.

The wide-screen TV,

that's not worthless.

It's something else entirely.

It's deceit.

Well,

it's not my responsibility.

I work for Domestics.

Thank you.

Hey, John. Heard the news yet?

Bus line 4 is yours, right?

They're getting ads for Durex, man.

There's something in it for you too.

Free condoms for three months.

Your wife will love it.

John.

- Can you come with me?

- Yes.

What is this?

A condom.

A woman just called me.

A foreign accent.

You insulted her.

An American woman.

You argued with her.

I put a bandage around her ankle, Leo.

Perhaps you should consider working less.

Take it easy for a while.

Just enjoy being with your wife,

your grandchildren.

Maybe go away for a weekend together.

For the moment,

you will not drive past that tower.

- But that's my line.

- No.

Not anymore.

Hello, this is Emma.

Hi, Emma.

It's Grandpa.

How are you?

Emma,

don't tell her it's me,

but can I speak to Grandma?

Emma,

can I speak to Grandma?

She's not here.

No fibbing, Emma.

Fibbing is bad.

Bye, Grandpa, you'd better not call anymore.

Re:
Wide-screen television

and misleading the consumer

Right. Shall we pick the "B"?

"B." The "B."

The "B" for number three.

Brederode on position one.

"Broodrooster. "

- All right. Broodrooster.

- All right. That's our answer.

Let's see if it's correct.

And then there's that nice...

Problems?

Yes.

I have to get to the next village.

Hop on.

All right. See you later.

Well.

Do you have a bus card?

No, I don't.

- Can I pay like this?

- Sure.

I'm lucky you just came by.

- Once every three hours.

- You're kidding.

I feel like I'm skipping class

on a day like this.

I hope you don't mind

that I'm talking to you.

No, absolutely not.

I'm on my way to see my mother.

- She is 92.

- Oh, my.

She's not doing so well, actually.

Really?

If I'm lucky she has a good day

and recognizes me.

Where does your mother live?

In Jisp.

In a nursing home.

She's lived in Jisp her whole life.
