COUSIN CARLA

YOU HAVE TO COME

COUSIN CARLA
ACCEPT CALL

PICK UP

Paul, you have to come.
- You already said that.

So you're coming. I don't know
if you're coming by taxi or by car…

Yes?
- Are you awake?

No.

Are you dressed?
- Yes.

Put on a suit. Not a bathrobe.
Come on, you're just…

If you call me one more time,
I definitely won't come.

Paul, you have to…

Unbelievable…

Paul.

Carla.

How are you? Still lonely and unhappy?
- I am.

You still have the same hairdresser?
- Funny.

Huibert left you something after all.
The dog.

What?
- Yes.

No.
- Come on.

It's been six days and I'm already
fed up with the inheritance.

As if I have nothing better to do. Take
the dog or just give it to your crazy ex.

Or wait…

You are the crazy ex.
- I'm not…

I'm not going to discuss this.
You take it.

Matthijs, are you leaving already?

Hey, cutie.

What's his name?

Dog?
- He's so cute.

Do you want him?

Seriously. I don't want him.

Hey… I didn't think so, pal.

Here.

There.

So gross.

Alright, you can leave.

DOG & ME

Is that dog yours?
- Gerda.

No, absolutely not.

Dogs are not allowed in this building.
- I know that.

But this dog, which is not mine,
is staying here until the shelter opens.

Does he bark?

No.

I'm keeping my eye on you two.

Don't you want noodles?
Fine, then just don't eat.

HOTDOGS

Best before…

That's still okay.

Enjoy.

Okay, note to self:
throw away the rest of the hotdogs.

Is it because you're stressed?

No, I don't think you're stressed.
You're way too dumb for that.

Oh, you understand that?

Then next time shit
in the bushes over there.

Just keep it in a little longer, and then
go around the corner. Look at me.

"Warning.
Do not use this barbecue indoors."

"And certainly not in the oven."

Most people are just as stupid as you.

Paul.

Paul, I know you're home.

I just want my stuff back,
I'm coming in now.

I've been trying to reach you for months.

You could have put it in the mailbox.

Do you have a dog?

Hello. What's your name?
- Yes, I'll get your stuff.

What are you doing with that angry man?

That's everything.
- Okay.

The end of a relationship
in two garbage bags.

So sad about Huibert.

How do you know?
- Carla sent me a funeral card.

I thought it was best not to come.
- Did you now?

I…

I have to…

Mike's waiting for me in the car.

Keys.

Are you okay?

I mean… Are you talking to someone?
- Please go away.

Take your stuff with you.

Okay.

Okay, Paul.

Thanks a lot.

Oh no, definitely not. Get off.

Scram.

Sit. Stay.

Damn dog.

Go away.

No, not inside.

You have to clean that up.

Poop. Clean it up.
- I don't have a bag.

Here. Go on.

You're so going to the shelter on Monday.

These are buy ten get five.

The dog food. Ten for five.
- You mean two for one?

No. Actually yes,
but you have to buy ten tins.

I only want four.
- Then you'll be out soon.

I want four tins and ten poop bags.
Ten separate poop bags.

You know what?

The tins will cost you 7.49.
And the poop bags are on the house.

On me.

One, two, three…

Give paw.

Come on. Don't pull.

Calm down.

Okay, then. Just for a little bit.

I'm going to have a chat.
- No, come back. Get back here.

You're new.

I'm Jojo's dad.

And that's Ko.

Daisy, Picasso, Bailey and Nala.

That's Dushi, Woosh-woosh and Babette.

And I'm Walter.

What's your fur baby's name?

I don't like dogs, I don't like people
and I definitely don't like dog people.

I'm leaving.

Either you come with me
or you find that shelter on your own.

It's a nice a dog, though.
- Come on. Come here.

NOVEL

What is it?
As if you've written many books.

With you around
I don't have time to work on my novel.

I'll be happy when you're gone Monday.

Yeah…

Bread and butter, my friend. We don't all
have the luxury to sleep the day away.

Or run around like crazy
when you're awake.

Jeez.

Hello?

What a cute dog you are.

Where is your owner?

I'm sorry.

Hi.
- Hi.

Is this your dog?

Yes… No… I'm his temporary shelter.
Kind of a foster care situation.

For you or for the dog?

That's nice.

I'm sorry. Come on.

I don't know what he's doing. Hi.
- He likes you, I think. Sorry.

Come on.

Do you feed him at all?

Come here.
You are so cute. You're a cutie.

So, foster care, you said?
Temporary shelter? Is it your dog or not?

An inheritance.

I'll take him to the shelter on Monday.
- Really? So sad.

Don't tell my daughter.

Will she eat him?
- No, that's my eldest daughter.

She's angry by nature. Especially when
there's a man, so I'd step back a bit.

My other daughter really wants a dog
or a cheetah. Something with fur.

There she is.

Don't mention the shelter.
- Okay.

Hey, darling.

Is he yours? Does he like running
and playing? What's his name?

Well?
- Dog?

Dog?
- Good name.

It suits him.

He likes to play and run.
But he can sleep really well too.

Mom.
- Yes?

I think I'd rather want a dog
than a cheetah. A dog like this.

But this one already has an owner.
So maybe when you're a bit older.

When I'm older
I won't live with you anymore.

Just think about it.
- Get a dog when you move out.

But then I can't…
- Laura, I think we're done here.

I'm still "Mom" to you, Lois.

We have to go too.

Your dog is on my foot.

He's sitting on my foot.

Get off. My apologies.

Okay, that's enough. Come on.
- I'm sorry.

Say bye.
- Bye, Dog.

Bye.
- Bye.

Very cute.

The dog, of course. Not you.

Did you hear that?

SHE LOOKED UP AND SAID:
"IS HE YOURS?"

You'll love it here.
There's all kinds of dogs to play with.

Yeah, you're cute. You're so cute.
Is he just giving you away like that?

Aw… Hey.

Puppies are no problem.
Very pretty dogs aren't either.

But this one is going to take a bit more,
I'm afraid.

She thinks you're ugly.
- Dogs are never ugly.

But it's just that other dogs
are more popular. It's fashion.

This one is…
How shall I put it?

Ugly.
- It's not everyone's cup of tea.

He's a very social dog.
That's what you are.

I think we'll find him a new home,
within a few months.

A few months?

But this is a fine dog.
Social and all. I think.

He poops outside.
- Yes. A few months. Signature?

DOG INTAKE FORM

No, don't say anything.

PLACE AN AD

Free dog

looking for a new owner.

Dog, come here.

Picture.

Come here.

Let's see.

Just sit for me.

Sit. Dog, sit.

Just sit.
You're too close. Go sit over there. Sit.

Yes. That's it.
Just one picture. That's all we need.

No…

FREE DOG

Well done.

Hello, my friend. Can he have a treat?
Look.

Congratulations on your new owner.
- It's temporary.

Sure.

We have our new loyalty card…

Hey, Dog.

They really like that.

Just let me know
if you're ready for our loyalty card.

Dog.

Stupid thing.

This thing…

Hey. That's weird. I know you.

Hey.
- Hi.

I know you.
- Yes.

The owner of Dog, right?
- Yes.

Are you still not feeding him?

Hi, I'm Laura.
- Hi. Paul.

We met in the playground, a while ago.
- Seven weeks and four days ago.

Okay, wow.

Wow, Rain Man.
Are you on the spectrum, or something?

Everybody is, right?
- It's not a problem.

We all are, right?

You're cute.

Do you want…
- No, no, no.

…to grab a bite or a drink some time?
- I can't.

When can't you?
- When you're going to eat.

Because you don't eat?

You have to eat, right?

If I'm being completely honest, I think
you really want to grab a bite with me.

And if I'm being completely honest,
I think it will be on Friday.

Yes, I think so.

It's for now.

Of course, we don't know
if this will be for the long term.

We're just having fun together.

Okay?

Here.

REMOVE AD?

I almost never go out to eat.
- You don't say.

That's not a bad thing.

Madam?
- Yes, thank you.

Yes, that's fine.

I always find that very awkward.
The pouring.

You do?
- They do it very slowly.

Well, okay. Cheers.

To Dog.

Cheers.
- Cheers. Who would've thought?

It feels like I'm adopting him.
- What do you mean? Wasn't it obvious?

It didn't look temporary.
It looked like a golden basket.

Really?
- Yes.

A golden basket?
- A golden basket.

Never heard of that?
- No.

That's what they say
when a dog gets its forever owner.

"He finally has a golden basket."

Do you find that strange?
I'm also looking for eternal love.

Okay. Hello. Clear.
- Does that scare you off?

Yes, very much so.
- I'm sorry.

But you present it well,
with your eyes and your smile.

Oh, well…

Now that we're at it,
shall I give you my user manual?

Or will the leaflet suffice?
- Leaflet?

That's a tough one. Are you ready?

Okay.

I've been married to my husband Bas
for 13 years.

He's Sam and Lois' dad.

And four years ago he suddenly…

died of a heart attack.

And that was super traumatic.

Yes.

Over the past year, I have been trying
to find out what I really want in life.

And…

What I found is that I'm open
to finding love again, I guess.

I don't want to be on my own.
Although Lois hates me dating anyone.

But I'm really looking for love.
Or at least a man who's not dying soon.

How about you?

I'm not really looking…

Okay.
- …for anything.

I don't mind spending my days watching TV.

Eating noodles.
- Noodles?

What's the reason? A childhood trauma
or is it bad relationships?

Both.
- Both. Well, bingo.

I call that a win.
We have a dead husband,

and someone with attachment issues,
I suspect. Or not?

We already call a couples therapist
to book a spot in about six months.

I'm sorry.
So, we'll just keep it light, then.

If you had to pick a new name,
what would it be?

Blake.
- What? Blake?

Or Kaiser.

Like an Austrian Kaiser roll?

And for me?
- Blake. Or Kaiser.

Oh, that's easy.

But who is Blake and who is Kaiser?
- We'll find out.

I saw something in a photo today.

There's an online group,
Never Broke a Bone.

What?
- Never Broke a Bone. All tall tales.

Today I saw a guy who flipped his car
at 180 kilometers per hour.

He smashed his head into the dashboard.
- Dead?

No, his face was bruised and swollen,
but he didn't break a bone.

But if a member of the group
breaks anything,

they want you to upload an X-ray
and then you have to leave the group.

You're in that group?
- I never broke a bone.

You have?
- Me?

No, I've never broken anything.
- Strong bones. Match.

Why?
- For when we have children.

I already have two children.

Does that scare you off?
- No.

But I actually have to go now,
because my babysitter called.

No, it doesn't.
- I'm glad.

But I'm 59 and going through menopause,
so I think I can't have any. I'm sorry.

Well, that was fun.

Wasn't it?
- It was.

Austrian Kaiser roll.

Are we going to…

kiss now?

Yes.

Alright. Come on.

Come. Oh, boy.

Well, Dog…

Wars are fought over women like her.

No, she's the type you fight wars with.

But of course you already knew that.
Little hairy Cupid.

Thank you.

I haven't done much.
You're out of candy, by the way.

I gave them unlimited screentime.
They didn't do homework.

But I really put my heart in it.
- My eternal gratitude and gold coins.

Thanks, babe.
- You're glowing.

Really?
- The dullness is completely gone.

After one kiss. Unbelievable.

It feels like a hundred years ago.
- You look very happy.

I do?
- Yeah, you do.

I want to meet him.

We'll see.
- Yeah.

I'll keep you posted.
- Yes.

Bye.

Hi.
- You're home early.

It's not that early.

Hey, honey.
- Mom.

Are you calling me "Mom" now?
That's progress.

How was your date?
- Very nice.

"Nice" isn't "ew".

Is there going to be a second date?

I think so.

Shall we watch one more episode together?

Or two?
- Two?

Don't push your luck.

Two… Wow.

I feel sorry for the mailman,

but you can't have your packages
delivered while you're at work.

Just have them delivered somewhere else.
We're not always home either.

Where do we start?

Here you go. My specialty. Noodles.

Okay, here we go.

That's what I mean.

How are you?
- I'm doing fine.

Here you go. It's for you.

Alright, this is Lois.

Hi, Lois. Nice to meet you.

Again.

And Sam, of course.

Can I play with him?
- You can.

Come on, Dog.

Well…

So, you've been dating
for five months now?

I didn't expect you'd last that long.
Laura is rather judgmental.

Yes, I am.
- You write manuals?

Yes. And I do annual reports too.
Texts for websites.

My father was really very handsome
and very successful.

I hadn't expected it either.
I don't know what your mother sees in me.

She's way out of my league.

I'm glad we got that clear.

That went very well.

It went very well.

Hey, doggie.
Do you need to pee? Shall we go pee?

How did it go? Did they behave?

Really? Did Sam say that?
No, she's just messing with you.

I'm walking the dog.

Come on. I'll let you off the leash.

Just a minute.
- You scared me.

What is this?
That dog should have been gone already.

This dog?

Dogs don't belong in this building
and Paul knows that.

But it's my dog.

Paul gave it to me, so…
- No dogs in this building, so…

We're just visiting.

And now he's barking too.
I won't accept this.

Good day to you too.

This will make you the best of friends.
Here. Give him one.

You really do love dogs, don't you?

Dogs, cats, iguanas,
cheetahs and meerkats.

I actually don't like animals at all.
- But then you got Dog.

I hope someone dies soon.

So I can inherit a dog.

Maybe a dog like this one.

Maybe you should put in your will
that I get Dog when you die.

Okay. Great idea.

Maybe your sister
would like to help to get rid of me.

Do you think it's normal
to sit there and be served?

No, but your mother forced me to sit here

after I offered to help five times.
And she scares me more than you do.

She's always like that.
- Always, always?

Okay, great.

So you live nearby?
- Yes, I do.

And where do your parents live?
- My parents aren't alive anymore.

Oh, sorry.
- It's okay.

Do you have brothers or sisters?
- No.

Eat your dinner, Sherlock.

Did you have a pet growing up?
- No, I wasn't allowed.

Still not, right? Laura said no dogs
are allowed in your building.

Mom?
- No, I know that look.

Dog is Paul's. We're not getting a dog.
It's way too much work.

I'll do everything.
- It's also way too expensive.

But if you want,
I'm sure Dog can visit more often, right?

Certainly.
- As long as he leaves him at home.

That's impossible.
- Well, that's nice.

Did you like it, Dog?

Thanks for the delicious dinner.

Beautiful house, wonderful family.
- Do you want it?

If you throw in yourself for free…
- Free?

No, excluding VAT. At least.

You should fix that.

I'm afraid those are terrorists.
I don't negotiate with terrorists.

You can do it. You're good at it.

Do you think so?
- You are amazing.

Okay, that's our cue.

Well…

Goodbye, ma'am.
It was a true pleasure.

Yes. Maybe we'll meet again.
- Bye, kids.

Bye.
- Let's go, Dog.

Heel. Dog.
- You guys were so clingy.

It wasn't as if we were kissing
in front of you.

It was really disgusting.
- That's just part of being in love.

Mom.
- Yes?

Did you fall in love with dad right away?
- Yes.

Absolutely.
- Tell me again how you guys met.

I was sixteen
and I was alone at the funfair.

I'd been there for three days, because I
had a big crush on the bumper car boy.

I don't know how many times I drove around
trying to make eye contact.

And suddenly a boy jumped into my car,
and I was like: wow.

He was angry
that I occupied the car the entire time.

I looked at him, and then he looked at me
with those beautiful eyes.

And then, bam.

Someone hit us on the left.
We laughed really hard.

It turned out he still had eight tokens,
so we drove eight more rounds.

That evening we kissed in the Caterpillar.

But how can you fall in love
with someone else?

That…

I never thought I could.

It wasn't the plan either.

Dad was just like that funfair guy.
Just a stepping stone to another.

No, honey. No, no.

Dad was so much more.
Dad was everything.

But he isn't here anymore.
And I'm a grown woman.

I can't ask you or Sam
for permission to fall in love. I…

I won't do that with you either. Imagine
I'd interfere when you fall in love.

That wouldn't work.
- I'll never fall in love.

You won't?
- No.

Really? Great. Then you'll just
live with me for the rest of your life.

Laura. Laura, stop.

Stop, Laura. Boundaries, Laura.
- Okay, too close.

I knew it.

Good boy.

Go get it.

He clearly feels at home.

So gross.
- Come on.

That smell.
- Get out.

No fooling around under my roof.
- Oh, okay.

Okay, sorry.
- Okay.

No fooling around under her roof.
- That's a warning.

I will keep my hands…
- Above the blankets.

Come on.

Paul, the housing association
is aware of your violation.

That dog has to go.
- Seriously, Gerda. Are you satisfied now?

Go and have fun.
I'm trying to do that too.

Tut-tut.

I thought she was bluffing, but I checked.
Dog must be gone within 24 hours.

Shit.

Dog stays with me, so I'm going
to have to find another place to live.

Do you have a plan?
- Store my stuff and…

Maybe I can stay in a holiday cottage.
- No, you're not going to a cottage.

Why don't you stay with us?

Sam would like that.

And me too.
- Yeah?

I don't know if that's such a good idea.
- We'll just see how it goes.

Like a trial period.
- A trial period?

I don't know if I'm ready for that.
- Me neither.

But you're not going to a cottage.
- What about Lois?

She'll understand.
It's just temporary and it's urgent.

She'll understand.
I'll talk to her, it'll be fine.

It's not like we're getting married.
Right?

You can't just take some random guy in.
- Paul is not some random guy.

Paul is my boyfriend.
- But I'm your daughter.

I'm much more important.
- Of course you're important.

You don't love me. You're selfish.
- Can Dog then sleep in my room?

Why do you like that second-hand dog?
It's all that stinky animal's fault.

Not so rude.
- You should have raised me better.

We'll talk about it with your therapist,
but I say Paul and Dog can stay with us.

Period.
- I hate you. You're a bad mother.

Okay.

We'll talk when you've calmed down.
- What does that mean?

That you'll finally listen to me?
- When you've calmed down.

So annoying.

I think it would be nice.
Paul can sleep in my room too.

Promise me you'll never
go through puberty.

Sweetheart.

Are you alright?
- It's just hormones. Assholes.

As if your life was so great.

What do you have to lose? Just go for it.

If this doesn't work, I'll lose Laura.

Then make it work.
The other option is to not do it.

Jojo, let go.
Doggie doesn't like that. Let go.

And how likely is it that Laura
will run off with someone else?

It happens once in your life.
Maybe twice.

I mean…

That's not it.
I'm just bad at relationships.

I've always been bad at it.

Being alone just works better for me.
In the end everyone runs off anyway.

Are you sure about that?
Laura doesn't want to lose you.

She's much happier with you than alone.

But what do I know about women?
- Maybe as much as I do.

Love is complicated.

Just like a dog.

It's give and take.

If Jojo wants to take a walk at 7:00
in the morning, then we'll do that.

In the end I'll enjoy it too.

Jojo, get over here.
That's not very ladylike.

Stand up. Come on.

Hey, Dog. Come on,
I'll show you all the good spots.

Well, there he is.
- Yes.

But the big question is:
are you a bad mother?

She apologized.
She thought she went too far.

She hates me and she thinks you're stupid.

We already knew that.

She's not here.

Wow, hello. Excuse me.
- Hi.

I'm sorry. This is Nora,
my neighbor and friend.

Neighbor friend.

Are you coming to check him out?

Have you lived here long?

What are your plans with Laura?

I like being with Laura.
I like being with her, so…

Love.
- Love?

That's not really a plan.

But are you a real guy?
- Me?

Are you the type who yells at the tv,
with beer.

I don't like soccer.
But what do you mean by "a real guy"?

Are you ambitious? Brave?

Assertive?
- Assertive…

No, not really.

Look…

I get that they
don't really need me around here.

But I'm going to do my best
not to screw it up.

I have often been alone
and that wasn't really a success.

So maybe it will make us
all better people. I hope.

And I pee sitting down.

That's good for the prostate.
- Nice.

He's a keeper.

Hey, it's nothing personal.
You're probably a good dog.

Good dog.

Yeah.

Gross. That's disgusting.

You have to clean it.
I'm telling Mom.

With soap.

Okay.
- Come on, Dog.

I think you're doing really well.

Really?
- Yes.

I'm exhausted.
- Yeah, I understand.

And for someone with attachment issues…

I managed to get you
in the house very quickly.

Not so fast. I haven't unpacked yet.
I could be gone soon.

Are you one of those? I hope not.

My sweetheart.

We'll just make sure
that this is going to work.

Yes?

Okay.

Just promise you'll keep talking.

Yes? Communication.
- Promised.

Yes?
- Yes.

Okay.

Handsome.

Here. Brush your teeth, come on.

What kind of toothpaste is this?
- It tastes good.

It tastes like soap.
- Soap?

Yes.

No.
- I'm serious.

Paul, look.

So sweet.
- Dog knows exactly where he needs to be.

Are you stressed?

Yes.

I don't want bread.
- Come up with something yourself.

I want soup.
- Laura, where are my sneakers?

Which of the three pairs?
- Funny.

There's one pair in the utility room.

Why?
- Maybe because you put them there?

Chanel always brings soup to school.
- Then share with her.

She doesn't want that.

You found them.
- Not thanks to you.

Pardon me.
- Chanel never wants to share.

Bye, I'm going.
- Bye, honey. Another time.

You always say that.
- Of course.

Bye, Dog.
- See you tonight.

I'm looking forward to coming home,
because Dog is here.

I think Dog will be happy if… Keys.

If what, Mom?

Bye.

Dog, come on, this isn't working.
We should just go.

SHALL I COME HOME FOR LUNCH?

Okay, you guys are still here.

Hi.

Was it bad this morning?
- Meh.

Meh?

It was terrible. I wanted to leave.

I'm very glad you're still here.

Do you want a sandwich?
- Thanks.

Why are we eating pilaf again?
- I think pilaf is nice.

I didn't ask you.
- Because you always liked it.

Not anymore. Pilaf is gross.

Then you come up with something.
- Why? You come up with something.

I really do not like your tone.
- I really do not…

I'm going to take a walk with Dog.

Why can dinner never be good?
I've already…

Can I come?

Sure.

Do you want to take him?

Alright.

Peace and quiet.
- Yes.

Are they always like this?

Lately they are. Not before.
- Lately?

Before you.
- Oh, I'm glad.

No, then it's a mother-daughter
puberty thing.

Not my fault.

I hope they're done with puberty soon.
- I'm sure it will all be fine.

That's life. Sometimes it's fun
and sometimes it's less fun.

And sometimes it's just fucking hard.
But don't tell my mom that I said that.

She's not a fan of that word.
- But you're right.

Sometimes it's just fucking hard.

Do you have tips?

For those fights.

What should I do? What should I say?

As little as possible.

Okay, I can do that.

That's harder than you think.

Hey, that pilaf… Is it nice?

Meh. It's okay, but fries are better.

But fries are always better. Right?
- Yes.

Always.

Hey, Dog. Come on.

Don't tell, okay?

Sweetie, what do you want for dinner?

Sweetie. What do you want for dinner?

I don't have a preference.
- Why do you always ask him?

Okay, what shall we have for dinner?
- I'm eating at Suus'.

What would you want us to have for dinner?

You're not funny, Mom.
- Fries maybe?

Oh, nice.

Fries, fries, fries.
- You guys are such losers.

Lois.
- I hate you all.

Shouldn't we do something about this?
- Yes, but not now.

I'll do it later. So, fries.
But we're having broccoli with it.

Otherwise it's a no.
- Okay.

Do you want me to say something about it?
- No, not now.

Okay, but when?
- Well, not now.

Okay, come on.
- I'm not done yet.

Grab your stuff.
We're leaving in two minutes.

So you're lazing around again.

At first I thought
your attitude was funny,

but it's starting to get a bit annoying.

For a 14-year-old you have far too big
a mouth towards your mother.

So what? You're not my dad.

You played that dead father card
a few times too many.

Lois?

I'm sorry.

I don't know if you can hear me…

I'm really very sorry
about what I said about your father.

I have to keep my big mouth shut.

It's not true what I said. You can always
be angry and sad about him being gone.

Always. As long as it takes.

I'm sorry.

MOM

How is Jojo doing?
- Better.

Where is Dog?

He had other plans,
so I'm walking myself today.

Here.

Good dog.

One more?

I'm sorry.

I told Lois that too.

Lo is a child.

She's just a teenager.

Her life's goal at this moment is just
to push away everyone who loves her.

What's your excuse?

I don't have any.

I'm an unpleasant person.
- That's too easy.

You promised me to communicate. We'd…

But you're shutting yourself off
and you say stupid things.

Yes. You're right.

I can't do this.
It's all happening way too fast.

And I have the feeling
you don't want to do this together.

Are you blaming me now?

I don't know how to handle her,
but you don't either.

You're not telling me
how I deal with my kids.

I've been around them for a long time.
You haven't. You have no idea.

You want me to talk, to communicate.
But I can't say anything about Lois.

I just don't know
what to communicate about.

I'm just winging it and I even can't
do that right. That's pretty obvious.

So you shouldn't expect anything from me.
- Do you think I'm not scared?

That I don't find it terrifying?
I don't know either.

You just go through it together.
- No. This is going to go wrong.

In five years you realize you can't handle
my emotional underdevelopment

and then you'll run away screaming.
So we'd better just end it now.

Yeah.

Just go, baby.

Hey, Paulus. How are you?

How's Dog?

A few too many changes lately.

And Laura?

Say it isn't so.

It just went too fast.
- Why to fast?

If a dog crosses your path, you accept it.
You just go for it.

That's how it went with me and Jojo,
and also with you and Dog.

With love, it's the same.

You just let it happen.

But if that dog has a puppy
that really doesn't like you…

Yeah, that's tough.

You re-educate it.

Give it away.

Take it to the shelter.

But where do you stay now?
- At a holiday park nearby.

Turn the TV down a bit.

Dog.

Dog.

Dog.

You're back.

Dog.

He's not doing well.

Here, call the vet.

Dog.

Dog.

Paul speaking.

Sam.

Where?

The medication
will make him feel better soon.

But the leaking heart valve
cannot be cured.

What does that mean?
- He will die from the condition.

And…

How long does he have?
- He might feel fine for months.

If he responds well to the treatment,
he might live for one or two more years.

Oh, sweet Dog.

What do we tell Sam?

The truth.

I'm sorry, Lois.

For everything.
- Sure.

I'm very much in love with your mother.
- She says you're emotionally constipated.

Okay. She's not lying.

I'm going to apologize and hopefully
she'll give me another chance.

Are you okay with that?

Sure.

This is for the coming month.
You can find the dosage on the box.

Let me see. Including consultation,

ultrasound and medication it's 471.35.

I'd like to pay by card, please.

Is he going to die?
- Not for a long time.

If we give him his meds
he'll be his old self again in no-time.

Do you hear that, Dog?

Shall we take a walk?
- Good idea.

Okay.

I'm sorry, Laura.

I'm really very sorry that I just left.

I know I don't show it,

but I want this.

I want you and the girls.

Your family. Just us, together.

Sure, but I feel…

I would really like to believe that,
but you can't just leave.

It's unfair to the girls and to me.
- I understand that.

And I don't want to leave.
I don't want to mess it up.

With you I want to do better.
I love you.

You don't have to shout.
- I'm sorry.

I mean… I… Laura.

I love you.

How much?

What?
- Quite a lot. A little bit.

That's too little for me.
- A little more?

You know what I think?

I think you and the girls
really want me and Dog in your lives

and I think that's going to happen.

Do you think so? We shall see.

Goddamnit.

You're not allowed
to snack so late, but…

This time you can.
Tastes good, doesn't it?

If you try to stay with us
as long as possible,

I promise you lots of steak,

hugs… And what?
Going to the beach? Will do.

Hairy Cupid.

What would I do without you?
You're a charmer. Yes, you are.

You are quite the charmer, Dog.

Come here, Dog.

Anyone else want smoothie?
- Yes.

Mom?
- I'd love that.

Dad?

Sure, nice.

Shall I help?
- Can you hold that?

Mom.

She said "Mom".

What a good service.
- Here you go.

Thank you.

Nice.
- Strawberry and banana.

I think it's best for everyone
if Dog and Paul stay a little longer.

Okay.

So fries tonight?
- Or bakmi?

Okay. Deal?
- Deal.

Do I have a say in that?
- Seriously?

I say bakmi.

And I say fries.
- Then I say friekmi.

I'll just say nothing.

Here you go.

Don't get used to it.

What's this?
- My savings.

For Dog's treatment.

I mean, it's not much,
but maybe it helps a bit.

This is so sweet of you.

Thank you.

It's a lot of money, but Dog is worth it.

I can pay for it myself.

But maybe you can use some of it
to buy something nice for Dog?

He would really like that.

Hi.
- Hi.

I have to tell you something.

I'm pregnant.

Okay, please breathe.

Are you okay?

Are you okay?
- Yes, I'm okay.

I'm mostly in shock, I think.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

Okay.

What do we do now?
- Now… we are having a baby.

Do you want that too?

Oh god, the kids.

I don't even know
how I'm going to tell them.

It will be fine.

It's still very early
and anything can happen.

But we wanted to be honest with you.

Are you going to keep it?
- Yes.

Okay.
- Okay?

Okay, there will be a baby.

Sammie?

I suggest we name the child Human.

Yes. In honor of Dog.
- Oh, okay. Well…

Or Girl, because it will be a girl.
- I don't know yet. No idea.

There is only one, right?
- I hope so. I don't know what I'd do.

Two is really a lot.
- Then we'll need a new car and stuff.

And I'm definitely not going
to share a room. You figure that out.

We have to talk about it.
That might be necessary.

Fantastic news. A new puppy.

I don't even know if I can do it.
- Of course you can. It will be fine.

It's a child, a family.
- Your family is just getting bigger.

I'm not good at family stuff.
- Of course you are.

You're doing great with Laura and the kids
and you're a great father to Dog.

He'll keep helping you
as long as it's needed.

Just trust him.

Thank you.

What are you afraid of?

That I can't do it.
- What exactly?

That I can't love the baby.

I don't know how to do that.

I always mess everything up.

That's how all my relationships
have gone to shit.

I'm just winging it.
- That's not true.

It is.
- It isn't.

I never learned to give love.

My parents…

They never really loved me.

I have no idea why they had me.
They didn't want me at all.

My parents were always working.

I felt they forgot I existed.

I was tossed
from babysitter to babysitter.

As if I were a burden.

I can't remember they ever held me

or that my father said something nice
or gave me a hug.

The only thing my dad gave me was Dog.

After he died.

Is Dog your dad's?

Yes.
- Baby…

I thought Huibert was your uncle.

Oh, baby.

After my mother died
I haven't seen my father.

He called sometimes, but…

I couldn't. It was too late.

Maybe that was his way
of showing you love.

And how did I respond?
I wanted to take Dog to a shelter.

I wanted to put him away,
because I didn't care.

I wanted to get rid of Dog.
That's not a father.

But it didn't happen, did it? He's
still here. You didn't get rid of him.

You're here. Just because your father
couldn't, doesn't mean you can't.

You're strong.
You're here for Sam and Lois.

They got through it because you are here.
I feel you love us. I know that you do.

Our baby is lucky to have you.

Do you think I would have wanted this
If I didn't believe you could do this?

Then I would have left a long time ago.

We're doing this and it will be fine.

There will be mistakes.
The baby will fall off the changing table.

But I'm not worried, baby.

Baby.

It will be fine.

We're just not going to sleep
for a hundred years.

Can I have mayo?
- No, I'll get the mayo.

I can walk myself.
- You can't put mayo on everything.

Look.

Dog…

This is Boy.

Look, Boy, this is Dog.

Where are you going?

Look.

Did Dog give you a cuddly toy?

I'm so proud of you two.

It really turned out amazingly well.
You can do this more often.

Do you want coriander?
- No, thanks.

I want coriander.
- Come here.

Boy, do you like it too?
- Wow, Boy.

Hey, doggie.

Oh, baby.

Paul?

Oh, boy.

The best dog in the whole world.

I love you so much.

You saved me.

And you have made my life beautiful.

Thank you.

I can do this myself from here.

Don't worry.

It's okay.

I'm going to miss you so much.

He is calm, isn't he?

He is content.

It's okay.

Laura, will this take all evening?
- Don't call me that. I'm not ready.

Laura, I don't want this.
- It takes as long as it takes.

Take this outside.
- What? I have to do everything.

No fooling around under my roof.
Will you take Boy? I think he pooped.

Chanel, I saw a lot of presents.
Shall we take a look?

Alright.
- Come on.

It will be worth a lot of money.

Congratulations. I'm proud of you.

Did you get chips?

Hey, Mr. Writer.
Do know how much I love you?

A little?
- A little bit? That's the minimum.

Very good.

Boy can have a cheese stick, right?
- No, no, no.

He already had chips.
He can't have this.

DOG
