Quotes 

• Oscar : [has an argument with his daughter in the kitchen after he unknowingly took a few of her anti-pregnancy pills for his headache and he found out]  Now you listen carefully. First and foremost, no more anti-pregnancy pills. Second, I don't want you doing anything that requires you to take that pill.

  Bieke : Dad, please. I'm twenty years old.

  Oscar : Well, then you're twenty years too young. Bieke, think about it. This pill's an addiction. You won't be able to do without it anymore. You'll have to take one every day. Do you know how much that costs?

  Bieke : Having a baby costs a lot more.

  Oscar : I don't want to hear about having a child anymore. Let Doortje have a child!

  Bieke : Most of my friends have been on *the pill* for two years.

  Oscar : Yeah well, listen -

  [Pascale enters the kitchen] 

  Pascale : Better safe than sorry.

  Oscar : Pascaleke begint nie - Of course. There you go. I'm going to put things in order. From now on, no more pills and stay home.

  Pascale : I wasn't taking a pill at the time and what happened?

  Oscar : [shamefaced]  That was an accident.

  Bieke : Were you obliged to get married?

  Oscar : A little bit. Now I don't want you organizing any more orgies with Gino and Didier, you hear me?

  Bieke : Do you even know what an orgy is?

  Oscar : Of course I know that.

  Pascale : Oh yeah?

  Xavier : [he comes in]  Kampioen? Let's go. It's the highest time, you know. You look so pale? Take another pill.

  [Bieke laughs at her father] 

• Oscar : Lads, it's half past two. Time to go. Come on, let's go.

  Boma : Oscar, don't forget the balls, huh.

  Carmen : [to Xavier who stands up]  Sit down.

  Xavier : What can I really not play?

  Carmen : Do you *really* think people will notice there's no goalkeeper?

  Pascale : Let them play football so we can chat.

  Carmen : I'm not sure whether Xavier will be able to miss me.

  Xavier : [firmly, then he corrects himself]  Sure I can - Though it'll hit me hard.

  Oscar : Come on, Pico. It's time.

  Pico : I'm staying here with Doortje.

  Oscar : Pico, you can't do that. My tactical plan won't work anymore.

  Doortje : [to Pico]  You go and score goals. As long as you come pick me up at DDT's right after the game, I'm okay with it.

  Pico : Of course, Doortje. You know me, don't you?

  [they hug and kiss each other, Dimitri looks on] 

  Carmen : Do you feel like it too, Dimitri?

  Dimitri : Is that an invitation?

  Carmen : Oh boy.

  Dimitri : Let's go, Doortje. Duty calls.

  Doortje : Oscar, make sure you win, huh?

  [Oscar lifts his thumb in the air] 

  Carmen : She's still naive, isn't she?

• Bieke : Have you seen my pills anywhere?

  Pascale : Good morning to you, too, Bieke. No, I haven't seen them.

  Bieke : They were on the mantelpiece.

  Oscar : Oh, yes. I've taken a few. It's junk. My headache isn't any better.

  Bieke : But... Have you taken my pills?

  Oscar : Don't be so greedy. I didn't tell you: 'Bieke, you're walking on my floor', did I?

  Bieke : You don't get it, dad. Those are not pills for your headache, those are my pills.

  Oscar : What? Pascale, you said those painkillers were on the mantelpiece?

  Pascale : Yes, below Bieke's pills.

  Oscar : Then what have I taken?

  Bieke : Birth control pills.

• Xavier : [sitting at a table]  0-1. That would be the ideal outcome. Away at F.C. Stomp? I'd sign up for that. But we can't make it without you, Pico.

  [Pascale serves their table] 

  Pascale : He should be with his wife.

  Pico : It's true, Xavier. It pains me. Doortje wanted me to play football but...

  Xavier : Then she has a boyfriend.

  Pico : DDT, right?

  Xavier : Imagine your child looks just like him.

  Pico : I'd prefer Oscar.

  Xavier : [Oscar listens in the background]  Oscar overdoes it again. He went for a blueprint of F.C. Stomp to draw up his strategy.

  [they laugh] 

  Oscar : Skavier. Well off the wagon already? Congratulations.

  Pascale : You're boycotting his strategy.

  Xavier : One is a lonely number. Carmen is cleaning up at Boma's. He had a private party the other day, so I was thinking: "Xavier, either you hang yourself out of loneliness, or you go for a drink a bit earlier. You saved my life, Kampioen.

  Oscar : [firmly]  I didn't mean to. Are the shirts dry, Pascale?

  Pascale : Go feel them.

  Oscar : The dryer is still running.

  Pascale : Then they're not dry yet. Don't panic.

  [Oscar takes a pill] 

  Pico : Uppers, coach?

  Oscar : For my migraine. That's all I ever have when I see my players drown themselves in alcohol.

  [Boma enters the café, pushing Carmen's wheelchair] 

  Xavier : What the hell is that?

  Boma : Injured foot. It couldn't fail to come. She'd better wear something when she cleans.

  Xavier : Excuse me?

  Boma : On her feet. Oscar. After my driver has returned from the abbatoir with the van, he'll drop off the van at Dimitri's to put the seats back in. Could you go pick it up?

  Oscar : Shouldn't it be clean first?

  Boma : Free transport is entitled to stink a bit.

  Carmen : I nearly lost my toe, uh. And it hurts.

  Boma : They won't forget Mrs Waterslaeghers very soon. She destroyed the hospital and she hit the head nurse with her purse. I was embarrassed, uh.

  Carmen : Barbarians, they are.

  Pico : So you're officially without a cleaning lady, Mr. President.

  Boma : That's cheap, uh.

  Carmen : You will continue to pay me. This is an accident at work.

  Boma : You're working off the books. Accident at work? What are you talking about?

  Pico : You know, this is the average reaction of an egotistical employer who exploits his employees.

  Carmen : Now you hear it from someone else.

  Boma : Both of you should be glad to have that egotistical employer. Suppose I want to be godfather of your child. Advantageous, uh?

  [makes money sign] 

  Pico : Mr. President. We're buying a child, no sausages.

• Boma : [Boma is offended by Pico declining his offer to be godfather of his child]  Coppens, your big mouth will come to punish you one day. Why don't you prove on the pitch that you can do more than just drivel?

  Pico : I'm not sure if I'm playing yet.

  Oscar : Pico, you can't do that, can you?

  Pico : I should be with my wife.

  [Oscar takes a pill] 

  Xavier : Doortje herself agreed you could play, didn't she?

  Carmen : That's the lack of attention she gets, you know. Dammit, Xavier. Turn my wheelchair.

  Boma : Now I'm going to tell you something, pal. If you'd ever bail on us, tomorrow you can search for another team and that's a decision of the president. Just think about it, huh.

  [Boma approaches the toilet] 

  Pico : I'll do that, Mr. President. But can I borrow your brains?

  [Boma dismisses his comment]
