Hey, what are you doing there?

You run so fast. -Come on.

Wait!

Here's your money.

My brother Nico and I saved up for Christmas.

Our father played Santa at the bus depot.

He would get us a tree.

Leave it.

Can I buy it? -No, put it back.

Contact.

Who is that?

Darla. Her brother wants us to get married, but I don't like her.

And he is very scary.

He's branded a Versace mark on his forehead.

Where is your brother?

No idea.

Tell me my brother Jezeer is looking for him to make the announcement.

Announcement?

Didn't he say anything?

Soon I'll be serious with him. Then it's official.

Shouldn't I know?

You're his sister, aren't you? -As far as I know.

Sure you should know then.

I will say that Jezeer is looking for him.

Thank you, sister of Nico. -Billie.

Okay, Billie.

You have beautiful hair.

Thank you, Darla.

I came to bring him the present I made on Christmas morning .

Come with me.

You have a serious problem.

But I don't like her anymore.

Her brother is scary.

Do not cut in half.

Damn, man.

Wait a second. Look.

Billie wants them for Christmas.

What are you going to buy for your girlfriend, Nico?

Shut up, Billie.

What will it be?

You gotta give her something, right?

I don't even like her.

What is going on?

There is a girl who likes Nico.

She's your girlfriend.

Get used to it, handsome.

I do not like her.

And neither did her brother. That's a bully.

He has a Louis Vuitton mark on his forehead.

Versace.

What? That doesn't sound good.

Then you should stop going to school.

What? What is it?

Nothing. I'm just flipping through those magazines to look ...

... what I'll give you.

Nice try, Dad. -No really.

For real.

If you could ask anything, whatever ...

What would it be then?

I do not know. - Surely there is something?

I would ask for a Lamborghini. Or a Ferrari.

How would you pay for your gas?

No point. I then live in a country house.

If you have a mansion, can Billie and I come and see you?

Or are you too good for us?

No, you can come and stay.

You get your own pool.

You can't even swim.

Well. -Not.

Really.

Do you have a girlfriend?

What are you doing here? We met at the station.

Your hair is more beautiful than mine.

What are you talking about, man?

Are you drunk?

Can I have one of those too? -Yes, come on. What is wrong with you?

Take it out of the fridge.

It's okay. -When will you be back?

It is empty!

What time are you back? -Wait, do something about that maniac.

Who says you can sit down? And that does not belong on your head.

Outside you. I'll be right there.

Are you going to get a tree?

Of course.

And ... I have a present from Santa for Nico.

Awesome.

I shouldn't even go with you . Just drop in.

Is that your letter to Santa?

I don't believe in Santa. That's for small children.

I do believe in him.

Anyone who doesn't believe in him is stupid.

How does he get in?

The elves make a key or it shrinks and comes down the chimney.

I do not know.

But if you write it, you will receive a gift.

For real?

Pepperoni on it.

Do you want basil on it?

And some olives.

Ready.

When is Dad coming home?

Fast. He will be home soon.

Do you want to tell me a story?

'As soon as you start to doubt whether you can fly, it will never work again.

So go where dreams arise and where time is not short.

Think of happy things and your heart will take flight in Never Land. '

Nico?

Gently. Nico is sleeping.

Joy to the world.

I put these here.

It's not easy, embracing a tree.

Give me a hand, I'll pull you up.

It's okay, Billie.

It is a very special tree ...

... for someone very special.

Just put it in the living room.

You really have to be gentle.

Joy to the world, sweetheart.

I wanted to give your mother a present but I don't want to impose.

Want Freddy zegt fuck it.

Hij zei, fuck it, fuck it.

And I say you don't talk to me like that. That's my wife.

That's my wife.

She likes Chinese food.

You know what? We'll take her to the Chinese tomorrow .

She thinks I think it's dirty. It is.

Then I order that Moo Shoo Pork for her, because she loves it.

So she gets that from me.

That includes those cookies.

I was always unkind about that. I don't want to be unkind.

I want her to be able to eat Chinese.

Hey Hello.

Happy Christmas, sweetheart.

You two are all that's real, you know that?

You two are the only thing that's real.

And the only good thing I've ever done.

I am very happy...

...that you...

... that you are my daughter.

I love you, Dad.

Hey, old man.

I have a tree.

Good night, Dad.

Don't ask me how I got it. Only know that ...

... the surveillance camera from Walmart.

My father says: some think that Billie doesn't have a nice voice.

But he says no one sang like her.

That's why my name is Billie.

Billie, wake up!

Santa has been!

Come!

Santa has been! -I'm coming.

Look.

He wrote a note. And there are gifts.

Don't open yet, Nico.

Wait for Dad. Stop.

Merry Christmas.

He's awake!

I have a country house.

Can I trust you with this? -Yes.

We have to go if we want to go to Chinese with Mom .

Are you not forgetting something?

Be careful. I trust you with it.

What will he do? -I do not know.

I have something for you.

For me?

Do you like it?

Awesome.

The man said it would be a good start.

Did you do this?

You know what?

We have to run.

Because we don't want to make Mommy angry.

We don't want her to get angry.

Beautiful!

How do I look?

Very well.

Isn't this ...

You used to look better, old fat man.

Oh Nico, don't say that.

And what did I say about shooting at home!

I'll kick you up the butt again. Don't do anymore.

And how can you say that?

Do you think I'm fat?

I'm not here.

I am not at home.

Nico, I'm not at home.

Hi Darla, Happy Christmas.

Is my husband there?

He just left.

Did you say it about Jezeer? -Yes, that he was looking for him.

Here's my present.

Thank you.

It's a secret family recipe. Still Peewee?

You have a nice perfume.

Cologne. Frans.

I'll tell him you've been.

Then I'll go. Maybe he's looking for me .

Was that his girlfriend?

And Nico, was that your son? That little boy?

Do not act so stupid.

Let's go. Chinese!

She's pretty nice. -Not.

Didn't I say Chinese?

Yes, I think so.

There she is. Only half an hour late.

Who's behind the wheel?

Why doesn't she get out?

Wait here.

Just smoke my cigarette, then we'll come.

We come?

What do you mean, we?

Beaux and I are coming after my cigarette.

Come on. The kids are waiting for you, not him.

This is no time for discussion.

We're just going ...

Can you please with us ...

Ho. Wait a second.

Wait. Open up.

Can I just talk to you for a minute?

Hey. -You huh.

Get away from that car.

Let me in. That's my wife.

My wife.

Please, Eve. Eve?

Eve?

That's my wife.

Do not you dare...

Come with me.

Hey blonde, do you want a ride? -Get lost.

Send the pit bull away.

Who was that? -Does not matter.

Friends? -No, just some jerks.

Well that's what you wanted. And that happened.

Well.

Hey, old man.

Everything fine?

Alles cool?

Everything fine?

Hey, old man.

You're strong, aren't you.

There he goes. Everything okay.

Hey, Billie. You have a bunch of hair, say.

Just like your mother.

Say...

When was the last time I cut it?

Time for a haircut.

No no, go get some scissors.

It gets better.

It's been a while. -Lay down.

Go get those scissors, it will be really beautiful.

Why no?

You do what your father says.

Stop! -Why stop?

Stop it, Dad.

Papa!

Let her go, Dad.

Don't, Dad.

Let her go. Please.

Open the door.

Don't, Dad.

You're drunk, Dad.

I know what I am. I am your father.

And you sit down now.

Do what I say.

Nico, stop that!

Papa!

I will kill you!

Daddy, can you hear me?

Well, that was a cheap toy thing after all.

I'll buy you a new one.

This is no longer possible.

Nico, I'm just going to cut her hair.

It's been way too long.

It gets easier when you ...

If you sit still.

Sit still.

Okay.

You are only a child once.

You are only a child once.

It will be fine, it will get better.

I know what I am doing. This is better for you.

Think of it as a Christmas coupe.

A Christmas cup for you, sweetheart.

What have you done to your hair?

I did for you. Then you are not alone.

Dad doesn't mean it.

He's just sad.

For real.

I have limes.

I have the last bag of ice.

I had to go all the way to Dublin.

I have to hang up.

Hi, what are you doing here?

I didn't recognize you without all that hair.

I wanted to see you.

Sorry about that Christmas thing. Your father screwed that up.

I have gifts for you and your brother.

I would have taken them if I had known.

Hey, mop. Little pace.

Moment, I'm talking to my daughter.

Tell your mom drinks don't pour themselves.

You see, this is not a good time to chat.

Can I come by?

I like this. Beaux loves children.

Wish your little brother a happy Christmas. Tell me I have a present.

Can we come by?

Sure, honey. I'll talk about it with Beaux.

Nico and I rarely went to school. Dad didn't even notice.

We no longer punctured tires, but found other jobs.

Get away with that thing.

It didn't all work.

Daddy said nothing. But he drank.

Do not touch me!

Hey sweetie. Are you okay boy?

I'm here.

It's okay. Everything is fine.

Something very strange just happened.

And he kept drinking.

And Nico and I had nothing left to sell.

Billie was right. My hair grew back.

Sometimes we saw Mommy on the weekend.

They took Dad away to stop drinking.

They actually left him little choice.

You have a scar from playing with that knife.

You have long thumbs. Maybe because you are smarter.

Do you see that? We have the same hands.

The judge said I have to master this.

How long? -A month, six weeks.

But...

Are you not coming to us anymore? - Sure you can, but get better first.

You don't want your dad to be so weird, do you?

No.

Me neither.

Your mother says you can come and stay in her beach house.

Swimming and all. Nice is not it?

You like swimming, don't you?

Don't like swimming?

Don't you?

I have to...

Sorry, I have to go to a meeting.

Watch your sister because you are a tough boy. The best.

Watch her. Promised?

Promised.

It was getting warm. We went to mama and Beaux's beach house.

They drank in a different way, but they still drank.

And they drank.

Hurry up!

Lake!

And drank even more.

Lake!

Is that all?

The vodka is finished.

Honey, give me a cold beer.

I hope you don't give your customers lukewarm beer too.

Feel free to get one yourself.

Get it yourself?

Get a cold beer.

Yes, go and get it yourself.

Do you see what happens to smarts?

Why do you do that?

Give me a cold beer.

I'll get him.

Your mother takes it.

Pour. -Must this with the kids?

Be good. Pour and sit down with that fat ass of yours.

Take a sip, kid.

It's been a long day, you deserve it.

Please don't.

He is not angry. Right, boy?

That's how you become big and strong, like your dad. And at least you can tolerate booze.

Go on, boy.

Do not.

What a semi-soft hassle here.

That's how you make that boy a goddamn gay man.

Nice eh, playing with food.

Stop.

Best party since old and new.

We'll do it again soon.

What a night.

He's killing her.

I miss dad.

Are you armed?

How old are you? -None of your business.

Old enough to participate.

Wait!

Tough boy, huh.

His name is Nico.

And you? -Billie.

Like Billie Holiday?

Can you sing?

We have to go home.

Where do you live?

There. -I live there too.

You see.

He should be happy that I did n't hit him .

Behave today. Beaux can't watch you, she has its own things.

And don't sulk, he'll only get angry. Okay?

He is not used to children and all the energy.

And one of you, or both of you ...

... should really say sorry you pissed him off.

Why?

It would all go much smoother if you said sorry.

Then he feels better about you ruining his free time.

He doesn't have this ...

Stop. Bun in the oven and fresh coffee.

Hunger.

What?

They want to say sorry for last night.

They are just too shy or ungrateful to bother.

No need to apologize.

Everything cool, right guys?

He asked you something. -Let them anyway.

My dad would beat me half to death if I was rude.

I forgave him for that too.

Besides, the boy and I are going fishing today.

It will be fine. Okay, kid?

With worms?

Whatever works.

What do you say, Nico?

Thank you.

You're very welcome, young man.

And you, young lady, I might buy you a pedicure.

Well, have fun, guys.

Say you're coming.

Hi. -Hi. Were you just singing?

Think so. -You have a beautiful voice.

Did you know that Billie Holiday was born in a brothel?

Do you like her? -Absolutely. She was beautiful.

My father named me after her. -That man with those round arms?

That's not my father.

Shall we do something? -What then?

Come on.

Whose car is this? -From my mother.

Get in!

You don't inhale.

Where are we going?

You can see that.

Handbrake on.

Come on.

Gosh, I'm dizzy.

Nobody knows this place.

How do you get here?

I used to go fishing here with my dad.

That wasn't your mom's car, was it?

No.

We have to walk back.

Okay, you see.

You make it work.

Nico.

Did you show your sister what we caught?

I caught him.

He sat next to me the whole time, the kid.

It was fun today, wasn't it buddy?

Your little brother is a sissy.

I agree.

What happened, Nico?

Did he hit you? -I'm not a sissy.

Tell. What is it?

He took out his penis.

Did he hurt you? -I'm not a sissy.

Do not tell anyone.

Don't sit there stink. I have to poop.

Hi, mommy bear is home!

No hello?

Mama, you must know something. -I have to take these clothes off.

Can't wait?

Your daughter caught something herself.

She goes faster than her mother.

You haven't smoked.

Beaux has done something. -Did he give you weed?

He let Nico have a look.

What does he have?

Nico had to touch him from below.

How dare you?

I should never have taken you guys. Now are you making something like that?

Who's gonna help me bake this boy?

I don't want to hear another word about this.

You keep your porn fantasies to yourself, okay?

Nico is not making this up.

If you screw up all this, I'll make you mincemeat.

That fish is not cooked by itself. -Moment.

Don't screw it up.

Maybe your boyfriend wants to eat with you.

As long as he does it safe. -Not funny.

Your mother knows all about that. -Oh, stop it.

I have no more cigarettes. I have to go to the store.

Are you going to do something? -I can not right now.

I have to stay with my brother. -He can come.

I do not know.

What will she do?

She had to get him cigarettes and beer .

Pack your things, let's go.

Where are we going? -I do not know. Get Daddy. Come on.

Stay here.

Where are you then?

Haven't we agreed what happens with click chips?

Apparently not.

I can be very fun if I get the chance.

When I'm happy.

Just ask your mother.

And now.

I'm going to be happy.

Laat me!

Laat me!

Get out!

What are you doing? Come with me.

And what if he's dead?

He deserved that.

I believe I killed him. Well, that was me.

It was clearly self-defense.

You can see from miles away that he abuses children.

Where should we go now?

My father lives in Florida.

Are we on the run now?

Yes, we are rebels and bandits.

Rebels and bandits.

Rebels and Bandits!

Looks good on you.

For a moment I thought you wouldn't come up again.

I like to dive.

You weren't scared, were you?

Can't you swim?

No actually not.

These are terrible things.

Now nobody can find us.

How do you know there's no one there? -Rich people don't use their houses.

Isn't there an alarm? -Probably.

Where did you learn all this?

I read.

This is really cool.

Clap.

Clap.

O shit. -Klap.

Nico, Jesus.

I didn't know he was real.

Great shot.

Not funny.

Billie, are we criminals?

No. We are just kids.

We are street kids and scum.

What is scum?

People who are no good.

That's a cool scar.

My coolest scar ...

... might be the one near my eye.

Here.

I fell against the window.

I have one on my knee.

Let me see.

He used to come here. -Oh yes, beautiful.

What is that?

Also a scar.

I was cutting wood once. And I missed the baton.

And chak. -Was that recently?

I didn't know ... -Now I don't have many more.

But first.

I win from all of you.

It's a smiley face.

How did you get that? -From when I was a baby.

I crawled under an ironing board and it fell on me.

I can't beat that.

It's quite a thing.

That's ... Jesus.

I am quite tired. -Do you want to go to sleep?

Go to sleep.

Billie?

I have bad thoughts in my head.

What then?

Things.

Bad things?

Do you want to tell me?

I miss dad.

Me too. - You wanna sing that song?

Yes. Go to sleep.

You have a beautiful voice.

I lied about that scar.

When I was two and a half or so ...

... I threw a Barbie doll at my sister.

And then my mother got really angry.

And she hit me really hard with a belt. You could see my bone completely.

Then they called the police, and the fire brigade came ...

And then they took me away for ten years .

With my mother.

She had to do her best to get me back.

And she drinks. She is no longer who she used to be.

And my father could not do anything, he was in prison.

He should have picked me up.

He was certainly too busy.

So now I'm just going to see him.

Anyway,

it looks fun. Like a smiley.

Maybe you want to sing that song for me . That you just sang for Nico.

I am exhausted.

Too much fun.

Are you OK?

Beautiful.

What have you seen? -The end of my life.

I can swim better than you.

And I am only eleven.

Get out!

Except it was the weirdest thing I've ever done?

Not bad.

Very cool.

Awesome actually.

I'm hungry.

Come and see!

Walk on!

You are so slow.

Smells like dog food.

Yummy.

Just think it's your favorite food.

Garnalentempura. -Calamari.

Where are we going now?

To the south.

My father lives in Florida.

It seems like a different country there.

They have snakes as long as a car and monkeys in the trees.

Can I have one as a pet?

What about our father? - Let's get that over.

Then he can get to know old people.

Do they have good schools for Nico?

I do not know. It can't be worse than here .

I want to homeschool.

I believe Billie Holiday lived there at the end of her life.

Probably not, but it is better than here.

Can we go? It's cold.

We have to get back to the boat. -Bad idea.

Hush you.

She can't know I'm here, don't you know that yet?

Give me a light. -We have to go.

We have to go.

Help me even, oké?

I have a tremor. Do you know that?

Ready?

I only smoke one more.

One for dinner.

Do not move.

So.

Thank you very much. -You're welcome.

We really have to go.

Well, if you have to go, you have to go.

But I want to ask you one thing.

I only smoke one more before dinner.

What about you guys? Are you running away from something?

Are you on the run?

We just take a detour.

Can I come along?

You are a little old.

Bit old? And who are you then?

Rebels and bandits.

You are welcome with me. At least if she agrees.

That is very sweet.

And if you are hungry.

I do. -Me too.

Do you like tuna stew?

Help me up.

I only smoke one more.

Don't tell her you wanna do that for me

And you don't say anything either? -We don't say anything.

Come with me.

Treasure.

What do you have with you now?

We have visitors.

Hello Miss.

My husband promised you food?

Tuna jar.

Good. Wash your hands, grab a plate and sit down.

Wash well.

We eat quickly, okay?

Careful, calm down.

You must not get sick, there is enough.

Delicious. -Very tasty.

I'm glad about that. -Delicious.

Do you live in the park?

No, we are in transit.

In transit. -They are bandits.

And gangsters.

Imagine.

And I'll go with them later. However?

You do it. But if you get caught, I won't come to free you.

We are not getting caught.

And do your parents know that you are bandits?

My father is in the hospital. -Is he ill?

He drinks a lot.

This is really good.

Thank you. And I don't know your name yet.

My name is Billie.

You can sing with such a name.

A little.

That's a lot, you know.

Indeed.

Have you smoked again, honey? -Why do you ask that?

He hasn't smoked.

Someone really smells like smoke in here.

Well, I was sitting outside.

I believe I'm going to explode.

I'm really full.

I told you that tuna bowl was delicious.

Very good.

When you are hungry, it is extra delicious.

Thank you very much.

You're welcome.

When I'm done, we really have to go.

If you want to go, fine.

But I'd like to bathe Billie and do something nice with her hair.

We make it cozy.

Children are magical.

They develop into miracles.

They become a person entirely on their own .

Tod.

Let a child go ...

I've never had a daughter.

But otherwise she would have been just as beautiful as you.

They were lonely and sweet.

I think they wanted us to stay.

It felt a bit like home.

We were allowed to sleep in their son 's camper .

Have a good night's sleep, then we 'll do something fun tomorrow.

Later one wants one too.

We have to leave very early tomorrow.

Can't we stay?

Don't want to go to Florida?

No.

Do you really want to leave tomorrow?

Jesus, it's a mess here.

In any case, I have to go. I killed someone.

Billie, what happens to kids who kill someone?

I don't know, don't worry.

I killed him.

Not true Nico, nothing to worry about.

I can tell the police.

It was self defense.

I don't want to be a gangster anymore.

Close your eyes, take it easy.

Sorry I got mad.

We can go with you.

That's not necessary.

We are blood brothers, right?

No surrender.

They turned us in.

There is police.

What are you going to do? -Say I did it.

Wait, what are you doing?

Billie must have made sure that no arteries had been hit.

The doctors called it a miracle that he was still alive.

The police called it an accident, even though he was shot in the back.

Malik seemed to be asleep.

He no longer knew who Nico and I were.

Dad came back and he was fine.

He was happy.

I had some time to spare.

I wonder where he was now.

I wonder if he was scared.

Maybe he was floating.

Can anyone turn to page 25 and say what's there?

Beaux was not dead.

But they say the talking is no longer like that.

Mama forgave us. She says Beaux was a bad dream.

And when she woke up she was a lot nicer.
