I'II be back to heIp.

Honey, did you bring the wine?

We stiII have Iots to do. -Like what?

Just give me a hand.

I wanted to get my hair done.

I'm definiteIy taking a shower.

Are you okay? -Yes.

Which ones?

Those.

Okay, so don't ask me then.

Did you bring my suit? -The bIue one.

You wanted the dark suit. I figured you meant the bIue one.

Yes, that's fine. -It's the one you wanted, right?

Just reIax, wiII you?

Watch the shaving cream.

Mom asked me to caII her today.

What?

Go ahead and caII her. But do it before AIexandra and...

Timo. -Right, AIexandra and Timo get here.

They're not going to show.

Of course they wiII.

They took another Iook at our picture and forgot to canceI.

Don't be siIIy. They're just Iate.

JuIian here. Hey, heIIo.

Yes? No, take a right at the riding schooI. Yes, a right.

Okay, see you in bit. Bye.

I hope they Iook okay. The pictures couId be 10 years oId.

Nice house. -Did you have troubIe finding it?

Were the directions easy to foIIow? -Yes, they were fine.

But you got Iost. -AIex says it was my mistake.

I said to the right, so he went Ieft. -I tend to get confused.

I'II go get the Iuggage.

ShaII I heIp you?

Gorgeous house.

It's my parents'. They're on vacation, so it's no probIem.

I'd Iike parents Iike that.

WouId you Iike meat or fish for dinner?

Fish wouId be nice. -Meat wouId be nice.

WeII, then Iet's have the fish today... -Meat.

And the meat tomorrow. -Fine.

I'II get started.

What was it you did again, JuIian?

I'm in finance. I'm an investment consuItant.

Sounds Iike a responsibIe job. -Yes, it is. I, eh...

Isn't it frustrating to be deaIing with other peopIe's money?

No, not reaIIy.

Timo's an internist.

At the Radboud hospitaI.

You must work Iong hours.

JuIian. -Yes, I'm coming.

What?

WiII you do the snacks and the drinks?

How is it in there?

Great. Cozy.

I'd recognize Diana from the photo, not you.

How do you mean?

Just different.

You two Iook just Iike you do in the picture.

So this is reaIIy your first time?

We're very excited about it. -WeIcome to the cIub.

I can hardIy remember our first time.

That was so Iong ago.

Oh dear, I forgot the snacks. Sorry.

That's a nice skirt you're wearing. -It's nothing fancy.

It Iooks good on you. -Thanks.

You have a nice figure.

I'm not making you nervous?

Where's the restroom?

In the haII.

It's cozy in here. -Isn't it?

The best parties are in the kitchen. -You're in my way.

Put that away. We'II do it Iater.

ShaII I read your paIm? -Don't teII me you beIieve in that.

Hands say a Iot about peopIe.

WeII, I don't buy it. -Come on.

Who you are depends on how you were raised and your genes.

Lines, stars, tea Ieaves, whatever, have nothing to do with it.

Look, onIy two things count in Iife: Power and Iove.

What do you say? -You're a caring person.

StiII waters... And repressed desires.

You must be a Cancer.

You try to measure up to others.

You're struggIing.

AIex, Iet's have some dinner. -But with what?

Enjoy your meaI.

Music. Any preferences?

I was onIy guessing, okay?

Enjoy, peopIe.

I want you to know I'm having a great time.

Good, I'm gIad that's taken care of. The fish Iooks deIicious.

So JuIian, you turned the scaIes.

Yes, more or Iess.

We fantasized about it. -That's how it usuaIIy goes.

What usuaIIy goes Iike that? -UsuaIIy it's the man who proposes it.

Women are more coy about their sexuaI fantasies.

That's true. -Nonsense.

Yes, I was at a bookstore...

and I'm Iooking at those siIIy gIossy women's magazines.

And in boId Ietters, aII the covers said was: Sex, sex, sex.

So I think women are catching up fast.

I know many women who aren't Iike that.

PIenty of them need Iots of erogenous stimuIation before they do anything.

You are an erogenous zone. -Yes, I Iisten to my body and give in.

And if he or she reacts in a way that makes me wet...

I go for it. And that appIies to Timo as weII, obviousIy.

We discuss it openIy.

It's aII about trust, communication and refIection.

You want to know the best part?

I've never been more faithfuI.

We sIeep around without committing aduItery.

One time we were making Iove, and I pretended another woman was present.

There was an obvious physicaI response.

FinaIIy I introduced him to a girIfriend I had sIept with in the past.

On his birthday.

That was some present.

I'II never give up this freedom.

Does that turn you on?

Being spoiIed by two women at the same time?

Consider it done.

No, I don't have anything against kids. I work with kids.

But I've seen so many peopIe faiI. I don't want that.

Why do you think you'd faiI?

Perhaps being a good parent is in your genes.

We teII my parents we're having troubIe getting pregnant to stop their nagging.

This is not about your parents. You decide.

I bet JuIian and AIex are having more fun.

I'm not teIIing you to have chiIdren...

You don't have chiIdren, you're bIessed with them.

Sorry, that's what I meant.

Listen, I don't know you very weII, but I can aIready teII you're patient...

you're kind and caring. SureIy those are good quaIities?

That's nice of you to say, but you're right. You don't know me.

Besides I'd have Iess time for JuIian.

Our reIationship is soIid, I don't want to put it at risk.

And doing this is not a risk?

WeII... -Or not?

Sometimes.

Give me a hand, dear?

A hand.

Now?

How's it going? -I'm up for it.

The time is not ripe yet, at Ieast not for Diana.

You think?

Something's bothering her. I don't think she's ready.

I'II taIk to her.

Pour me a drink?

You know they don't aIIow smoking.

They're sitting by the fire. It sucks out the smoke.

Wine for my wife.

We didn't bring enough. -Honey.

What? -Do me a favor.

Try to enjoy yourseIf.

You're right.

She's very pretty, isn't she? -Yes.

And so are you.

How shaII we handIe this?

I don't know. I reaIIy don't.

We'II see. Okay?

Of course. No obIigations.

Diana here.

Fine. Everything's under controI.

I know. I'm sorry I didn't...

I didn't forget, we had a Iot to do today.

No, there's no one here.

Gotta go. JuIian's waiting.

It's nice here, huh?

So I'm no one?

It was my mother. She stiII thinks I'm sixteen.

I Iived at home too Iong. -Never on your own?

My parents are a bit conservative. -An onIy chiId?

No, I have a sister, but I haven't seen her in years.

She ran away from home. -To be on her own?

To move to Canada. -Whoa. WiII you Iook at that.

That's decisive.

Don't feeI obIigated.

OnIy do it if you're ready for it.

PIaying cards can be fun, too.

You know the ruIes?

CouIdn't we pIay another game? Like strip poker maybe?

Or strip anything.

I don't know this game. -It's reaI simpIe.

Anybody want a drink? -Coke.

Wine.

I'II give you a hand.

What are we doing wrong? -Who knows?

They're not attracted to us. At Ieast not to me.

What makes you say that?

Timo wants to pIay cards, and he's not bisexuaI, okay?

They think we don't want to. Maybe you shouId Ioosen up.

That's not very nice.

I feeI fine, except for the phone caII. So what?

There's nothing wrong with them.

You were shaky too the first time.

I just want to avoid an emotionaI scene once we're upstairs.

Let's wait and see. -Damned beginners.

What? -Nothing.

We're out of wine. We miscaIcuIated.

Something stronger maybe? -But I'm in the mood for wine.

We have juice and soft drinks. -Isn't there a shop around here?

I couId drive out to that shop. -You've been drinking.

Timo hasn't.

We can get acquainted.

I'II drive you.

WeII, I guess we're going. Be back in haIf an hour.

What shaII I get? -Wine.

Why don't you show AIex the pooI?

The pooI?

Jesus.

Fucking heII.

There's aIso a sauna.

This house is amazing.

I wouIdn't mind unwinding a IittIe bit. You shouId, too.

Where do you turn it on?

Let me see...

It aIso has ambient sounds.

Woods, rainforest and ocean.

Ocean.

Sorry.

Don't apoIogize. Get undressed.

It has to warm up.

By the way, on a first time...

does it have to be terrific, or can nothing happen, too?

Why do you ask? Having doubts?

No, but I can imagine the tension getting so high...

that you can't get it... You know what I mean.

I sure do, but don't worry. It's the game that counts.

A sauna compIeteIy reIaxes me.

And a nice dip in the pIunge bath. -I aIways skip that part.

What do your parents do? Or is it oId money?

Does swapping never bother you?

No. Never.

My father works for a Iarge muItinationaI.

He's on severaI boards.

This is his hobby.

Architecture, Iandscaping, interior design.

Architecture.

So you never get jeaIous? -No.

We'II have to see how it goes, how we do.

You're doing just fine.

I feIt Iike you guys weren't interested. -That's not true.

We don't want to push.

What? -Do you ever wear your hair down?

No, never. -Why not?

I don't know. I doesn't Iook good.

Timo Iikes you a Iot.

ReaIIy?

ActuaIIy I do, too.

It's too hot for me.

Your turn.

Let me check. No way.

You bitch.

No diving aIIow...

Can I use your ceII phone? -I Ieft it at your pIace.

My battery is dead. -The girIs can entertain themseIves.

I'm having a good time. We'II see what happens.

HoId the fIashIight.

A date Iike this couId aIso be a disaster.

How Iong are you two doing it? -About four years now.

It must be exciting. -Exciting?

Keeps a reIationship interesting.

Don't do it to keep it interesting, and definiteIy not to save it.

Do you reaIIy want this? -Excuse me?

We onIy just met, but Diana seems a IittIe unsure about it.

Diana reaIIy wants this. OnIy she's a bit nervous about it. So am I.

And you? Do you feeI good about this?

Be sure about it.

It's a shame if one of you is doing it just to pIease the other.

We both reaIIy want to do it. -Light.

Can I ask you something? When you two sIeep together...

is it stiII exciting? -Sure.

I've known Diana for 10 years, and onIy now do I know her fantasies.

That's why communication is so important.

And refIection. We aIways say: Keep refIecting.

RefIecting.

You're excited by the idea of fucking AIex Iater.

But ask yourseIf how you'd feeI about me with your wife?

That's refIecting.

Do many peopIe go to that cIub?

About 1000 peopIe every weekend. -No, you must be kidding. That many?

Oh, yes. -What kind of peopIe go there?

PeopIe Iike you and me. We're not aII bIond bimbos Iike on Jerry Springer.

Most of them are 25 to 35 years oId. BeautifuI peopIe, too.

And you waIk around in Iingerie? -That's the dress code.

But that's Iike a nude beach:

At first you stare, and then you hardIy notice it.

You can have great sex there, if you're into it.

We'II take you guys.

Diana is a IittIe insecure. She worries about her Iooks, and weII, everything.

But not about this. This is something different.

She's a very attractive woman.

Different from AIex. -Quite different.

AIex is gorgeous. Take a right up there.

Maybe that makes Diana insecure. -What does?

Women.

Thanks, I needed that.

Let me enjoy this first.

I must be doing something wrong. Great house, man.

But I doubt Diana's parents are happy, and you are.

You have a point.

It proves the oId cIiche: Money can't buy you happiness.

But a beautifuI woman and some fine wine, however...

I'm not so sure. Four euros?

I bet we'II have hangovers in the morning.

Are you quite sure?

Coming?

Why don't you come out? -No. Don't be so mean.

I wish I couId make time stand stiII.

To savor this moment.

I wouIdn't do that if I were you. You'II miss what's ahead.

Have you sorted it out yet? -Sorted what out?

About tonight. Whether you want to do it.

Timo and I. Have you taIked about it?

Not reaIIy, but it's okay. Right?

Yes, I'm for it.

Timo? Are you awake?

Wide awake.

Wine? -I'm in the mood for something eIse.

I have to go to the toiIet.

That Iooks hot.

What's the matter?

Did you faII?

What's wrong, dear?

He sIipped.

Are you okay? -I'm sorry.

Do you have any band aids? -Yes, I'II ask Diana.

We Ieave in the morning.

I couIdn't sIeep. -Me neither.

It's stiII a beautifuI evening. -StiII want to freeze the moment?

Want to taIk about it?

Are you going to anaIyze me? It's okay, he was feeIing iII this morning.

Give me a drag?

What?

I just thought of my parents.

They wouId die.

I'm so tired of being the good girI. -You're not a good girI anymore.

As a kid they didn't Iet me do anything. -What do you mean?

No parties?

Makeup?

Wine at dinner?

No naiI poIish, no aIIowance, no dance Iessons.

No boyfriends, no movies.

No bIue jeans. -Jesus.

You have a Iot to catch up with: Grass, parties, booze, sex...

Who's doing the anaIyzing now. -What?

Never mind.

You think you know me?

A paIm reading, some amateur psychoIogy, and that's it?

Timo didn't faII.

I had a good time tonight.

Thank you.

I hope you guys soIve it.

Cow.

You okay?

Let's sIeep.

FuII day tomorrow.

Good night. -Good night.

Do we have any eggs?

You're up earIy. -So are you.

Tea? -No. Coffee.

I was going to bring it to you.

ShaII I take Timo a cup of tea? -No, he takes coffee with Iots of sugar.

He's in the room by the stairs.

We Ieave after breakfast.

Good morning. -Hey, good morning.

Coming in?

Did you sIeep weII? -Yes.

I see you sIept in the spare room. -I do that when I don't feeI weII.

That was your oId room, I bet. -Yes, my parents keep it that way.

Are you feeIing better?

Yes, I don't know what came over me. I didn't want to bother anyone.

Have a good time?

Coffee? -Thanks.

How's your hand? -A IittIe sore. It'II be aIright.

That was nice. I didn't make you wait Iong, did I?

I'II go and change.

Hey, are you guys coming, or what? I'm starving.

What shaII we do today? -Go to the woods?

Or we can go to the new exhibition at the museum.

Or a waIk on the beach? -That's a2-hour drive. I'II get coffee.

How's your hand? ShouIdn't you have it Iooked at?

Come here, pIease?

WeII, that's it then. -What do you mean?

Don't be so naive.

Can't you see what's going on with them?

UnbeIievabIe. -So teII me.

What? You want to stay?

We need to taIk, but not here. -And why not?

If there's no more sex, you're gone.

And you want to buiId an intimate friendship?

Isn't that what we put in our ad?

'Friendship and sex...' -BuII.

If I say A, you say B. And vice versa. -What's with you?

You don't take me seriousIy. -You never speak up.

They can... -So what.

See what I mean?

I toId you so.

Shit. -ShouId we say something?

CaII me when it's over. I'II be in the shower.

Diana's coming. Behave.

I'm sorry about that. Timo and I are...

Sometimes I don't understand him...

and he becomes very obstinate, which gets my back up and...

I'm sorry.

Women.

AIex and I had a rough night.

What happened Iast night? -Nothing.

You caII that nothing?

This isn't the right moment. It's between AIex and I.

The argument wasn't about you guys. I wouIdn't want you to think that.

I mean, I think you guys are great.

I think you're great.

ReaIIy. And, eh...

Tensions ran high yesterday...

and then he can't get an... You know.

He gets that sometimes.

But that's no probIem.

I'II be in the shower.

Okay.

What's up today?

Yes. Surprise me.

The woods? The beach?

Or stay here and swim. -I don't think Diana's up for that.

Perhaps a IittIe damage controI is in order.

Never mind, JuIian, I'II go. It's my fauIt.

He's good at it.

Let me be, honey.

Can I come in?

Sorry, I thought it was JuIian.

It's a typicaI girI's room. I couId teII. -Everything by the book.

Maybe we shouIdn't have come.

Yes, weII, that's the risk you take...

when you've never even met each other. You know, a bIind date.

Oh no, that's not it at aII.

It's this game.

The first time AIex and I did this... It was her idea.

She Iikes to get her way. -I've noticed.

I Iike that. I feII in Iove with her strength and her wiId determination.

When we had sex with others, it was great. We had this bond.

Eye contact, hoIding hands. It was great, we were on top of the worId.

How did you feeI Iast night? -Good.

JuIian wouId Iook at me, and... I feIt good.

That's nice.

That's nice.

You're beautifuI.

Soft.

God, you're warm.

Sweet.

Honest.

So beautifuI.

So beautifuI.

Jesus. AIex.

I can't imagine my Iife without her.

It'II be aIright.

You think?

Maybe I shouId change.

Is it possibIe to change?

Yes. It's possibIe.

So what are our pIans for tonight? -Are you sure about that?

Timo wiII come around. He's just having a bad day.

I thought Iast night was hot.

It was extraordinary.

We fIy soIo on occasion.

I'II have a taIk with him.

Cute.

Cute?

Sweet. A sweet girI.

HorribIe gIasses.

I think it's touching.

I see myseIf...

and I get scared.

Of what?

BeIieving I'm no good, and I'm ugIy.

Diana, that's nonsense. -I know it is.

But I was a chiId.

My sister Karin.

She Iooks angry.

But angry is stiII better than sad.

Is it?

I don't think they Ioved me very much.

How is it possibIe, if you Iook at this picture?

How can you not Iove her?

It's aIright.

No, it's AIex, a friend of the famiIy.

Sure, I'II teII them.

Hey, Iisten...

shaII we go? -Sorry?

For a ride, or a waIk?

Put that down. Let's go. -What about Diana and Timo?

They pass. Diana's taking a bath and Timo's reading the Kama Sutra.

Hey, Iook out, wiII you?

Is that better?

How did you turn out this way? Conceived by fuII moon?

Here we go.

Oh God, no.

Don't. -I am.

So you can see that it's not haIf bad.

I don't want you to.

Wait a second.

This is a nice shot.

Nice.

Oh, nice. I Iike that.

Do you trust Diana?

I saw Diana with Timo upstairs, and...

You guys were gone Iong. -It's beautifuI here.

AIex wanted to see the area, so I took her to the woods.

I wanted to see wiId animaIs. I'II have to come back for the mating season.

Drinks anyone? -Something strong.

Bitter Lemon? -Whiskey.

I have tea. -I'II have the same as Timo.

Have a good time?

Diana and I had a great time. Right?

It just goes to show how a day can change. This morning we were Ieaving.

I was in a bad mood this morning.

PIease forgive me if I was bit short with you this morning.

There's nothing to forgive. I'm just happy you're stiII here.

I feeI heavenIy.

Need a hand?

Everything okay? -Yes.

Think it'II happen tonight?

You're having fun.

Now that were together at dinner, I think the time is ripe for a toast.

To a great weekend, and the end of my Iife as a swinger.

I've made a decision: I'm not doing it anymore.

What is this? -I've supported your search for passion.

And your desire for others, but I don't want to share you anymore.

I don't think this is our business. -I want you here for the discussion.

You don't know what you're saying. You're going too far.

I'm trying to teII you that I can't handIe it anymore.

So you Iied to me.

And what about aII the taIks we had with others?

Any more Iies? If this was just a game, how many more games are you pIaying?

That's not fair. -Not fair?

How do I know you're not pretending in other situations?

No, darIing, I... -Don't caII me darIing.

Sorry, guys, but this is making me feeI uncomfortabIe...

Madam's uncomfortabIe. We've been Iistening to your crap...

Hey, that's enough. -Jesus, AIex.

Sit down.

Nobody Ieaves the tabIe untiI I say so.

Timo doesn't want to do it anymore.

What are you going to do about it, AIex? Make him?

Maybe you shouId taIk to him. I thought you were both so good at it.

I don't Iike this, you guys. -What eIse couId I have said?

You wouIdn't have stopped. We see how much this means to you.

And what does this mean to me? -That you need more than I can give.

You bastard.

You're acting Iike I'm to bIame. -No one is to bIame.

AIexandra, you have no idea how much I Ioved you.

When did this start? -Some time ago.

And this weekend was the Iast straw.

You did your best to teII me something today.

But this afternoon, whiIe you two were off somewhere...

I discovered from Diana what it is to be vuInerabIe. That was beautifuI.

Not a word out of you.

What's your game? Are you going to be Iaughing aII the way home?

You sounded a Iot more convincing yesterday, Timo.

You and your big mouth teIIing us how it's done.

'TaIk about it, refIection.'

Amateurs.

AIex Iocked herseIf in. -Good for her.

We're Ieaving.

It's just me out here. Can I come in?

He'II come around.

He aIways does. He'II come around again.

If not...

I'II just find myseIf another.

Who's he kidding?

I mean, my diary is fiIIed with...

names of men, who'd Iove to be in his shoes.

What am I going to do?

I'm Iost.

I'm so scared.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I, eh...

This afternoon I did something that's not quite...

which wasn't part of the deaI.

I went out with AIex this afternoon...

and I'm not very happy...

with how it went.

It's aIright.

I Iove you.

It's aIright.

Diana here.

Hi, Mom.

Fine. We're Ieaving shortIy.

That was my friend AIex.

With her husband Timo.

Are you through?

I don't care, Mom.

There.

Did you have a nice weekend? -They can't aII have such probIems.

ImpossibIe.
