Simon Page #2

Synopsis: Enterprising liberal Jew Simon Cohen is the lawless lord of an Amsterdam neighborhood, running a 'coffee' shop' (legal soft drugs sale). As soon as they bump into each-other, Simon fascinates gay, up to then conventionalist Jewish dentistry student Camiel Vrolijk and draws him into his libertine world, even all the way to Thailand for B-movie making. Having seduced Simon's whorish girl, embarrassed Simon leaves quietly. Ten years later, the dentist, now settled with a gay partner, lawyer Bram, meets the new cancer-terminal but affluent Simon again.

to "Save the Apes"and a cat boat.

He made ten times that...

but claimed unemployment benefits

like the best.

Look, I pump loads into the economy.

I'm a big-time consumer.

Why can't I benefit from the

voodoo economy?

If I wasn't on the dole, they'd

question my income, and I'd be screwed.

You and the economy don't want that.

So clamp it.

We drove down the shoulder, sir.

Did We?

Aren't you in the Village People?

Where are the Indian

and the Leather Boy?

They'll send you a bill

for the ticket I'm writing.

Really?

Not bad for such a sh*t band.

In 1988, Simon was feeling

better than ever.

Holland were champions and he was

King of Amsterdam and the beaches.

The little girl's five and a half now.

Joy's her name. Pure joy.

She stayed on after I broke up

with my Thai lady.

She was expecting

the second:
Nelson.

After that guy in jail in South Africa.

I think it's better if they grow up

as Thai. "Thai" means free.

Chillin' by the palms.

Sun and fresh air.

Little monkeys in the trees. Great, man.

Why did you and

your lady - or wife - split up?

Simon!

Rumble time...

Sh*t... take this.

They often shed the fancy watches

and stormed off...

to fight Crockett & Tubbs.

It was in their make-up.

Studying was out of my make-up.

It was hard enough to retire to

my room with a book on teeth.

I began to believe Simon:

Life was discovered at play.

People just aren't made

for cold climates.

Otherwise we wouldn't need

winter clothes.

Look around...

everyone's sick and faint.

Do Camiel.

He's a walking Quasimodo anyway...

If you moan, I'm outta here.

You got a real Jew face.

You are Jewish, right? Me, too.

Cohen's my name, after all.

But you could've invented

a Jew-ponim like yours.

But I'm not a practicing Jew.

- What's that?

- He doesn't practice!

What would you practice?

Building a tower?

How can you be proud of

what you didn't control?

There are really nice things

about Judaism.

Personal responsibility.

God isn't on a cloud,

He's your conscience.

Don't talk sh*t, man!

Any organized religion is wrong.

Gimme a break.

Goddamn.

32 sets at 15 kilos.

Goddamn.

- Mind your eye doesn't pop out!

- Watch it.

Know why she has a glass eye?

A Turk once came in her eye

and it got all infected.

- He was Tunisian.

- Turkish, Simon.

- Tunisian!

- He was a Turk.

No, we only say he was a Turk

'cos it sounds cooler. He was Tunisian.

Wanna bet? Five-hundred skins.

You're on. You're so gonna pay.

Hey! Cyclops!

Your eye guy was Tunisian, right?

Yeah, a Tunisian.

In Djerba.

In some Kraut's 4x4.

Pay up, Pops.

Later, ok?

These men took some getting used to.

And the women were even less familiar.
