What did you think the news would be?

-I don't know.

You thought he was going to divide

the inheritance, right?

What's it made of? Lipstick?

Or something else?

No, it's henna.

-Right. Henna.

Gentleman, dinner is served.

Ladies, please join us.

Great.

It's so nice to finally meet you.

Pieter has told me lots about you.

That's funny.

He never said a word about you.

Yes dad, that's right.

You haven't told us how you two met.

That's actually a great story.

Would you like to tell it?

At the hospital.

-Oh, so you're a nurse.

Patient. Bonnie was in the next ward over.

I'd seen him pass by,

they had to help him to the bathroom.

And I thought to myself, wow,

he's handsome. But that was it.

I'd seen her pass by, too, but there I was,

hooked up to lots of stuff.

And so I noticed he didn't have

many visitors, which was a bit sad...

and I decided to stop by his bed.

We wanted to come by,

but who wants to bother the doctors?

It's okay, Ben.

I would have never met Bonnie otherwise.

So we got to talking

and one thing led to another.

No, not that, naughty.

No, we fell in love.

And then he gave me this.

Pretty, right?

-That's a beautiful story.

Don't you think? Lovely, right?

-Beautiful.

Love is the best medicine.

-That's so sweet.

Did everyone enjoy their meal?

-it was just delicious.

There's no need for that.

-it's no bother.

So? What do you think?

-She seems really sweet, dad.

A lovely energy.

-Yes. Nice girl.

Very nice.

-Bonnie is a sweetheart, truly.

With a heart of gold.

-Not just a heart.

Pardon? Right, the ring.

You only get married once.

Well, for the second time.

I do think it's all a bit fast, dad.

What are you trying to say?

-Nothing. Just...

She's pretty young.

Love knows no age.

Said the priest to the altar boy.

What's wrong?

Nothing, I was just saying

that all I want is to grow old with you.

Oh sweetie. Aren't you old already?

Check out the beard.

Tobias? Kate?

-No.

Come along, off to bed. Come on.

To bed with you, it's late.

You can play some more in bed.

Say good night to granddad, alright?

Good night.

-Sleep well, my loves.

We're getting an early night.

Lots to do, this weekend.

Good night, children.

-Good night.

Yes, good night. Children.

Incredible.

-What.

Nothing.

-Alright then. Good night.

The old man did well.

-Does she really think we don't see it?

She's shamelessly stealing our money.

Our money?

-Dad's money.

He's just had a heart attack.

He's vulnerable. She's like a predator.

I thought they were sweet together.

-Sweet?

The way he hugged and kissed her.

I've never seen him like that.

No, thank god.

-Maybe she really loves him.
