Tony 10 Page #2

Fine. I'll tell him.

Thank you. Bye.

'Get well,' the teacher says.

This is where it all happens.

My new office.

Wanda, this is Tony.

Wanda de Wit.

Wanda is my guard dog, so to speak.

Everyone who comes here

has to pass by Wanda first.

You're expected at the meeting

of the Council of Ministers.

The Council of Ministers

is for ministers only.

I'll be right back.

Who is this nice lady?

She has dimples

and a wonderfully regal look.

It's a very nice picture.

A beauty.

Come on, guys.

This beauty is of course...

Her Majesty the Queen.

Just like that:
In the photograph.

She's surrounded by people.

Have a good look.

Who are these people?

Who are these lucky dogs?

They're allowed to stand

beside Her Majesty.

- Those are...

- Say it.

Come on.

Her...

ministers.

The Queen and her Ministers...

are the most important people

in the whole country.

Lovely photograph.

What's this?

Wow. You made lots.

Wonderful. I'm starving.

Dad's joining us for dinner.

- Looks good. Can I have one?

- Help yourself.

I'll put sugar on it? Is that OK?

We'll save a great big stack for Gilles.

He'll be starving

when he comes home.

- Will you tell him I made them?

- He'll notice right away.

They look so great.

So you finally made it home.

- What are you doing here?

- I want to sleep. I'm tired.

- I worked all day.

- Oh, come on. This late?

- We had a meeting...

- Yeah, right.

- Everyone wanted to continue.

- Oh, and you wanted to stop.

That's enough.

Can we talk calmly for once?

Talk?

Is that what you do with her too?

Get lost. Gilles Wagemans,

I'm through with you, I really am.

Does Dad have to stay outside

all night?

Like a drifter.

I'm sure there'll be someone

he can stay with.

For how long can you keep pancakes?

Your father's gone crazy.

He's completely out of sorts.

He does the silliest things.

He thinks he's...

He's in love.

Tony, turn that thing off.

- Get lost.

- You stay away from the Beast.

It's dangerous.

No one is allowed to touch it.

My father is.

But he's not here.

Come on out.

Sleep tight.

In love.

That's for girls, not for boys.

So I thought Dad would be back soon.

But when he had not come back

after a week, I got worried.

When he was still not back

after three weeks...

it was really taking too long.

Something had to happen.

- What's wrong?

- I miss Dad.

Come and snuggle up with me.

I'm not going anywhere.

Ever.

Mum?

Who's Dad in love with?

I don't know.

Someone. A woman.

Someone who's nicer than I am.

No one is nicer than you are.

Let's go to sleep.

Let's not think about bad things.

It had to be a very special person who

my father had traded my mother in for.
