Quotes
-
[At the office of the KPR, the Kinderprotectieraad, in the room of Dr. Ellis]
Dr. Ellis K.P.R. : We don't just mediate between warring partners. We also check up the child itself psychologically. How does the child deal with the conflicts? Our advice is always binding.
John Gisberts : Hm...
Dr. Ellis K.P.R. : Excuse me? I said...
John Gisberts : Never mind.
Dr. Ellis K.P.R. : Don't take this the wrong way, but you left them. They didn't leave you. You left for another woman. For now, we see no reason to give you custody. And a young kid like Valentijn will be very attached to his mother. This could change for the better if you paid alimony.
John Gisberts : [excited] If I can never see the boys? No cure, no pay! I can't even explain to them why I'm no longer... at their breakfasts!
Dr. Ellis K.P.R. : Because you claim them. Don't you understand she finds that threatening?
[Somebody's knocking on the door]
Dr. Ellis K.P.R. : Yes?
[Men walking inside with a new lamp and tools]
Dr. Ellis K.P.R. : They're replacing the lamp. We can continue in the room next door.
[opening the door to that room]
K.P.R. client : I never want to see that mongrel of a child again! Don't do that to me! Let him stay with his mother, for God's sake!
Thea K.P.R. : [to Ellis and John] Sorry, they're replacing the linoleum in my room.
[to the client]
Thea K.P.R. : Follow me. We'll find a room.
Dr. Ellis K.P.R. : Yes, eh... well, yes.
Thea K.P.R. : [opens the door and she and her client walks away]
John Gisberts : [sees Valentijn in an opposite room] Valentijn...
Dr. Ellis K.P.R. : [closes the door] Sit down, please. You have three daughters. The oldest one is Trudy.
John Gisberts : Daughters?
Dr. Ellis K.P.R. : Wrong file, excuse me.
