You don't know when to stop.

I saw Wesselinck this afternoon.

Gerard Wesselinck,

a Philips top executive.

He even

gave me a present for you.

It's for you.

I don't accept this.

Listen, John.

Don't make this harder than it already is.

Where's Mr. Leeuwenkamp?

He is sick. Listen.

Thirty-six years on a bus is not nothing.

We all know that here.

John.

John.

Most guys don't make it that long.

Thirty-six years.

You're a very good bus driver.

You are. You've done excellent work.

You have nothing to be ashamed of.

- It will be good for you to take this deal!

- I'm going on.

I've got one.

I had Laurien buy me a bus card.

My very first one.

Before, when those things

weren't around yet,

you had more of a conversation with people.

You had to count,

give them money back.

It's not very efficient, takes too much time.

Yes, but

the contact was nice.

Contact, yes.

Now I stamped your card

and didn't even notice it was you.

You have a point there.

Life changes.

Could I ask you something?

Of course.

At Philips you're responsible

for sound and vision, right?

Everything that produces sound and vision.

I thought

maybe you have read my letters

about wide-screen TVs.

Letters.

We have a special department

for customers' letters.

The CC department.

Customer Contact, I know.

In general,

those letters don't reach the management.

What is it you have to write

to get through to the management?

Good question.

Sometimes we get letters

with useful suggestions.

Those letters are set aside.

So it's just positive letters.

I didn't say that.

My stomach is rumbling.

I haven't had much

for breakfast this morning.

Where do you have lunch

when you're working?

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Mr. Wesselinck.

Gerard.

Gerard.

I wrote you letters about wide-screen TVs

and you know it.

Why do you think so?

You know my letters.

If you only knew the amount

of memos and reports I see daily.

Do you know my letters?

There's a possibility...

I say, there's a possibility

I might have seen them.

That...

That briefcase...

You left it on purpose.

What?

A briefcase like that, come on.

You don't just forget.

I've had this bag for 37 years now.

I've never left it anywhere.

Not everyone is the same.

People make mistakes.

That briefcase,

your briefcase,

was open.

Two locks.

Two possible combinations,

but the briefcase was open.

Very careless of me.

What's the name of the nursing home

in Jisp? Might that be

the Lichtkring?

Yes.

It's the Lichtkring.

There is no nursing home

by that name in Jisp.

Then I must be mistaken.

People make mistakes.

- Hello?

- This is Mr. De Waal.

Is this Mr. Voerman?

Yes, Voerman. Voerman.
