This is Joy Pilet again. I've called a hundred times today.

I couldn't get anyone on the phone, could you call me back?

Loser.

This is Joy Pilet. I've been trying to call that number a hundred times now.

I just want to know if there's an answer.

Yes.

What do I care if I'm there or not?

I don't need to know WHAT the answer is...

you could at least check IF it's there?

No, I have to... I'm calling all the... Fuck off with that rule.

Come on, Joy. I have an appointment.

Hop.

If you want to speak to me, you should make an appointment.

I'm here right? You're no longer a client.

Then I don't need to make an appointment.

So what do you want?

You know very well, so just give it to me. That's not possible.

I'm not leaving until you give it.

You have no idea what road you're heading for...

None of your business. Just give it.

This address... Yes, takes a long time.

This is the first address we have of your mother.

Is he gone? I said it's over.

I've already texted you, so don't be stupid!

It's the day we have to go to partner day...

and he doesn't come.

Softy. It's scary or something.

And he's going to look for a job. I'm alone all day.

What if it's a nice job and he meets another girl there.

He'll desert me.

I'll be alone again.

But what time does it start?

I don't know. Right away or something.

Now? - Yes. Right away, now, isn't that the same?

Come, let's go? - No.

Shall we go together then? - Yes.

I'll talk to John-John if you come with me now. Just a moment.

Wait. You're walking too fast.

- What? - You're walking too fast.

HORN

Fuck you, mongoloid! This is a zebra crossing, fool!

You help your partner up under her arm.

Ladies, breathe in, hold your breath.

Exhale well.

And hold it.

Push. Keep it up, keep it up.

Will you practice this at home with your partner too? - Yes.

Try to help so that you can pass on the instruction.

Who says it's his? - Haha.

Arms under the armpits, hold.

You can't stop in between. You have to cooperate.

Arms underneath. Okay. Hold and relax.

I'm going to have a cesarean section.

- Then you get one of those scars. - What does it matter?

Knees, keep wide.

I want to give birth on my haunches. Then it comes out faster.

You can. Just grab a chair.

You hold her with the hand under the arm.

Fine. Let's practice one more time. - I don't know...

I'm going to pee. Can you help?

Connect with your baby, help your baby.

I recently read: If you hang, he comes out faster.

When you lie down, the head keeps sliding back in.

No way. Then you'll tear all the way to Tokyo.

Do you want?

You shouldn't smoke so much weed, man. It's bad for your baby.

I think it's okay. Come here.

Here.

Bizarre, huh?

How cool is this?

Let's go.

- I don't like it! - Don't you like it? - No.

Look for others.

Oh, Dora on the floor.

BUZZ

THEY TALK SERBIAN

she smiled at me the madness of a woman

me, nothingness, ignorance of the universe

the woman and wine travel and flow through my veins

in silence and slowly

in a smiling night

APPLAUSE

Hmm? Many people. They've started. They're getting married.

Mommy first, yes? - Yes.

Mom, Joy is here.

SHE GREETS JOY IN SERBIAN

LOUD BUZZ

Tradition. One, two, hop.

- Retard. - What? - You're lethargic.

I love you too.

How did they get to know each other?

Uh...

On vacation, I think. - No, I mean your parents. - Oh.

They've known each other all their lives. They used to be neighbours.

They always played outside.

And then my daddy eventually wanted something more than play.

And my mother didn't want that.

Then he didn't look at any other girl for four years.

And then Mom knew for sure.

- How can you be sure? - You just know.

And why do uh...

What was wrong with that uncle's eye?

Haha, what was wrong with his eye? - Yes.

I don't know, I'm not a doctor. It was inflamed.

And is he with that woman with the big tits? - Yes that one.

What tits, huh? Incredible.

Do you like that?

It's my aunt.

I think it's beautiful.

Do you also think I'm beautiful?

I think you are gorgeous.

Hey.

I think you are gorgeous.

Why are they getting married here?

- Because they live here. - Yes I understand that.

But the whole family has to come all the way here.

Couldn't they do it there?

POP MUSIC VIA HEADPHONES

Mobile. Oh no. Sorry.

Will you hurry? - Yes.

DOOR CLOSES, THE WOMEN WALK AWAY

We can also go to that other place over there.

I think that one. Which fitted best? - These.

Then you take this one. - Okay.

Have a nice day. - Thank you. Bye.

It will work, won't it? - Yes.

Are you happy with it? What do you say? - Thank you, Mom.

Have fun at jazz ballet, see you tonight. - Okay. Bye. Bye.

- Anything else? - No that's it. Thank you.

Thank you. Have a nice day. - Thank you, bye.

Can I have a bag?

BUZZ

How nice, pink.

Have you ever seen a large white whale with a pink sweater?

I seem to retain a lot of fluid, because I'm not fat, I'm water.

That's weird isn't it? I have an address, hey.

Really? Are you serious?

Cool! Where did you get it?

Simple, from my file. Yes, man.

But they didn't want to give it to you.

I'm entitled to it. Finally. That's great!

She lives half an hour from here by bus.

She lives by the water.

Have you seen her? - No. Oh.

Shall I go with you?

I understand it's scary and difficult. But I'll come with you.

- Mmm. - What's 'mmm'?

You can just say so if you don't want me to come.

Then you can go alone and be 'one happy family'.

She left you alone for years, and now suddenly yes?

Finally, my daughter back(!) - She called me Joy, didn't she?

Oh yes, that must be it.

Never mind.

Ouch! Ouch!

What is it?

DENISE CRYING IN PAIN

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

- Should I call an ambulance? - No. - Would you like a glass of water? - Yes.

I did that okay, didn't I?

Look. Ah!

- Come. - No!

What did he... Wait a minute.

What is that on his bike? Is that a refrigerator?

I'll call you right away.

Hi, girl.

Hey. Why are you here?

Yes? Oh, you can't speak.

What were you doing then? Did you have to paint your nails?

Or cut, file.

It's not cool to say:

Sorry, I have to buy a pram with my girlfriend.

It's much more fun to look in the mirror... Relax.

That's nice. What are you going to do? - What I am going to do?

Away.

- You really are a bitch. - How?

You can make it up again?

Oh yeah.

Great idea! Well, I don't need it anymore.

Nice.

Your hair looks bad.

Really ugly.

Walk on.

Don't walk so fast.

A bit nauseous.

Are you coming?

I don't have it do I?! How many times do I have to say it?

Shut up for a second, dude!

Ladies, calm down.

THEY ARE BOTH SCREAMING

You gotta shut up?! Are we going to fight?! Hey!

Come here, you. It's over! Fucking whore!

Over! THEY ARE BOTH SCREAMING Everyone shut up.

It's that fridge again.

Hey, it's that time again, that zoo here. Yummy.

Shut up, I'm listening.

Miscarry or something! Shut up! You're a miscarriage yourself!

I swear! Then what do you want? Should I sit down?

You stay away from my girlfriend! Joy, what are you doing here?

What are you doing here? You can't even control those people.

Sit down! You can't be here. Look at your head!

Will you please disappear? Keep your fucking mouth shut!

You pathetic bunch... Will you please disappear now? Of course.

I'm glad I don't live here anymore. Fucking whore.

What's your fucking problem? Really.

And now?

Are you sure?

Her name is simply different.

And now?

You know, maybe she changed her name

because she doesn't want to be found.

Maybe she has debts, then you take a different name.

Then you go and live somewhere else, right?

You know...

Maybe she's just had a shitty marriage.

She was married to a guy who beat her.

And yes, she just kept that name.

Could just be your father's name, how would you know.

Yes.

I do look like her.

Yes. That's what I said. Then nothing's wrong, right?

But where were you at the birth? If eyes could speak... Yes.

She smiled at me. Babies don't smile yet.

She saw daddy and just spontaneously smiled.

They know who their father is, that's it. - Yes 'they'.

Just be glad it's not a boy. - Because?

Then she would have sold it on the internet. She loves us way too much.

Hey, I'm going in.

She's even more beautiful than I expected.

I went through hell because of you. Thanks(!)

You're welcome.

I do love you.

Oh, are you okay?
