The Assault Page #5

Why don't you go yourself and drive into

their brains with your weird shoe?

Nice ball.

Just like the university, Korea is

being run down by bastards.

Let's drink to the downfall of

all red fascism in all countries.

I should join them.

- There are former SS members in the legion.

They will get exemption

from prosecution then.

You are behind the times.

In Korea they can make up.

Zeker zacht ei staart thans

peinzend in de verte.

Yes, you Steenwijk.

And? What's your conclusion?

- How do you mean?

Dodge it or check in? What should we do?

I'm getting another beer.

Are you having a good time?

- I'm doing my best.

Good. Though you're looking

rather shitty, young man.

Yes, I think I'll just go around the

square for a moment. Excuse me.

Hey, damn Steenwijk.

The registration bureau is that way.

Tonny.

Tonny.

Tonny...

- Hello, Mrs. Beumer.

Tonny, boy. I...

Come here.

Just look who we have here.

Anton.

You know:
Tonny.

How are you doing, Kees?

- Fine, Mr. Beumer. Thank you.

You too?

Do you want coffee?

We were just going to have our evening coffee.

Thank you, Madam.

- Please sit down.

Will you be sitting there?

That's not very comfortable.

This used to be my fixed spot when your

husband used to read with me. Remember?

Shall I help you?

- No, it's alright. It's almost done.

And the coffee was already done.

Why have you never dropped by before, Tonny?

It's the first time that I'm visiting

Haarlem again.

Oh, yes?

You're just as tall as your father.

I recognized you immediately.

We've talked about you so many times.

Say, he's very ill lately.

Just act as if you don't notice.

That you never came back before.

Someone was standing and watching at

the opposite side a couple of times.

Who was it?

- I don't know.

A man with an old coat

and a lady's bike.

Biscuit?

- Thanks.

Does Mr. Korteweg still live here?

- Him?

He moved right after the liberation.

Gone.

Nobody knows to where.

He didn't say farewell either.

Karin neither.

That was very strange.

Right, Bert?

Do you remember that the sanitation

department came by to pick up the fish bins?

Aquariums.

Those were terrariums, for his lizards.

- Yes, glass objects.

He was a very unhappy man.

After the death of his wife,

he came by a couple of times.

The Aarts people are still living there though.

And still pretty much to themselves.

They will never just come by and have a chat.

Just recently the Groenevelds asked...

they are living

in Korteweg's house now...

if Mr. Aarts wanted to sign as well

in order to get those weeds removed.

That bare and ugly spot

gives such a mess.

Where our house used to be?

I do understand.
