The hitchhikers

That was the performance of the quintet for piano

and wind instruents by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Just after two o'clock you can listen to an organ recital

by the organist Gert-Jan Groot on the organ of the Great Church in Gouda.

Hi.

What was up with that guy?

Oh, the usual problem.

- Would you like a cigarette? - Please.

- Does that happen a lot? - Hmm.

- Where are you going? - To Eindhoven.

Have you been here for long?

Oh,I've been sleeping in those bushes over there.

- Sleep well? - Yeah, okay.

- There's a car coming your way. - Oh. Here I go then.

Not going well, is it? - Is there nothing else on your radio?

I'll have a look.

This?

Hi.

- You dance nicely. Where are you headed? - To Eindhoven, if possible?

To Eindhoven, let's have a look, wait, I've got a map here.

We're around here, aren't we? - Yes, there.

And I need to go here, I can make a detour for you.

Then you can come along to here. That's not so far off.

Quite, that's not so far off.

Can I come along too?

Is nice, isn't it?

- Where are you headed? - To eh, Eindhoven.

- That's a coincidence. Right, get it. - Great.

- You've got a nice car. - It wasn't cheap.

- It's new? - Yes, I'm still breaking it in.

There are lots of buttons on it, aren't there? What does that one do?

Try it.

- Pull. - Oh right.

- Wow. - Oh, that's nice. - Splendid.

Well.

How are you, by the way?

Fine, excellent in fact, don't you worry about me.

Do you know him?

Didn't you see how sweet he was to me?

- You never told me anything about that. - We didn't want to hurt you.

It wasn't worth the trouble.

Can I have your radio for a minute? - Yes, of course.

Where were you really going?

Doesn't matter, I'm coming with you, right?

Could you light a cigarette for me?

Sure.

Say, isn't that your friend?

- Why yes, look at that, he found another. - Well, he didn't waste any time.

I think he's bit more succesfull this time.

Wave.

- He doesn't like that. - See the look on his face.

And now who was that?

Oh, one of those nice womanizers, you know, with those jokes and tricks.

What was it he had? Oh yes: "Hey honey, do you know this?"

- He stopped his car for that? - Yes.

But I already knew it, so...

- How did you do that? - Look, like this.

Practice a bit, will you?

- Shall I close the roof again? - Yes.

Hey, there's another one.

I think he needs to go to a petrol station.

- We'll take him too, won't we? - Well why not.

- Hi, can I hitch a ride to... - Hi!

Can I hitch a ride to the next petrol station, I'm out of petrol.

- Get in. - Thanks.

- Are the three of you out together? - No, I'm hitchhiking, and so is he.

- Do you always take so many hitchhikers? - About five.

- It's getting cloudy, isn't it? - No kidding.

Where are you headed? - Spain, Barcelona.

- Holiday? - Sitting on the Ramblas.

- You can see it up ahead, no doubt? - I do see a lot.

- Am I in the way? - No, stay where you are.

If you want to see more, you'd better read a palm.

- The palm reading trick. - Give me your hand.

- You can read palms? - What did you think?

Look here. Three razets, you'll live to be sixty years,

Saturnusline ends here, distant journeys,

death abroad, you see, distant journeys.

And if I look further, I see a blonde woman, and that is me.

- Aha! Meeting on a journey far away? - To Barcelona.

- Would you like a cigaret? - Hmm. - One for you? No? One for you? - Yes.

What were you telling just now, the ram... ram...?

- The Ramblas. - Yes, what's that?

Well, that's one of the largest boulevards in Barcelona, it's real nice,

because the people sit there neatly in rows opposite each other

on old kitchen chairs, in the middle of the street.

- Do you like it? - Yes, splendid.

Sitting in the sun, doing nothing all day, the traffic more or less around you.

Are the women well dressed there? What should I wear?

Why, this, what you're wearing. And then we'll sit opposite each other...

-Have you ever been to Spain? - Certainly.

- Where? - All around, more or less.

- Did you like it there? - It's quite nice in the south.

- Why in the south in particular? - How, you're suddenly talkative.

...then we can talk more softly. - And what will you say then?

That you are the most delicious woman that I'ver ever seen.

- There is your petrol station. - Oh, then I'm getting off.

Right, thanks. See you. - Bye.

I'm getting off too.

Bye, thanks. Bye, have a good journey.

I'm going to move on.

You'll ride along for bit no doubt?

The end.
