It is not difficult. All one has to do is hit the right keys at the right time.

JOHAN (8 YEARS OLD)
Don't give him anything.
Well, well, out of gas again.
He's pulling a fast one.
I gave you money yesterday, because you ran out of gas.
I find it hard to believe that you're on empty again today. Show me.
Your car. Without gas.
Well?
Show me.
Come on.
You don't have a car, do you?
You lied.
I'd like my money back.
Give me my money.
Never mind lying to me...
...but when you lie, you also lie to the Lord.
He doesn't forget these kinds of things.
First finish your job. OK?
Well?
Well...
I hope you leamed your lesson.
You may go.
Amen.
Where do you sleep?
Yeah.
Here.
Breakfast is served.
Right. Come on.
Our Father who art in heaven...
Amen. - Yeah.
Enjoy your meal.
Right. Give it here.
Here. Trade.
We use a fork for that. Look.
Watch.
That's how it's done.
Put it down.
Put down that slice of bread.
Hold it with the fork and use the knife to cut off a comer.
Yeah.
Get up.
Tum around.
Yeah.
Come on.
Move it.
Then the righteous will answer him: 'Lord...'
'When...'
'...did we see you hungry and feed you.'
'Or thirsty and give you something to drink?'
'And when...'
'...did we see you a stranger and shelter you, or needing clothes clothe you?'
'And when...'
'...did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
The King will reply: 'Truly I tell you...'
'...whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine...'
'...you did for me.'
whatever the future may bring
I am led by the hand of the Lord
so bravely I direct my gaze
to the unknown country
teach me to follow without questions
Father what You do is right
teach me to worry only about today
with courage steady and bright
Peace.
He just showed up.
I gave him something to eat and offered him a bed.
Hand.
Well, our own Good Samaritan.
Peace.
Foot... and kick.
Foot, kick. OK?
Like this.
Kick.
No hands. Put it down.
Put it down. Right.
And kick.
Foot, kick.
Foot.
No hands!
Stand over there. That's your spot.
You have to stand over here. - Yeah.
Tum around. I'm over here.
And foot and kick.
Kick!
Good job.
Ah, he's still here.
Do you realize it's Sunday?
The day of our Lord, Fred.
don't let me decide my destiny
were I allowed, I wouldn't dare
I would only make grave errors
were You to leave the choice to me
treat me like a little child
who is lost without a guide
Yeah.
take my hand in Your hands
and with me always abide
Hey, come on.
Do that again.
Stop it!
Dad, look, a little sheep!
Excuse me. Does he do children's parties?
It's my daughter's birthday next week.
Why don't you give it some thought.
The party is on Saturday next week.
Amen. - Amen.
Enjoy your meal.
Cheers.

You're not waddling.
Waddle.

A rooster says 'cock-a-doodle-doo'.
there were seven little frogs in a ditch
that ditch was frozen the little frogs died
little elephant in the woods
hold on tight to mom that's good
We need costumes.
That's Trudy.
That's the closest I ever got to God.
Not here.
You can't be further away from God than here.
There are even fish that are closer to God than we are.
Yeah.
Here.
Near God.
I'm sure of that.
I have to go there again.
I have to make up for something.
With Trudy.
Yeah.
Put it on.
Yes, good evening.
We'll do it.
Performing at the children's party.
With the animals.
The price is 50 euros.
Yes.
Damn...
Stop it.
Get it.
Stop it.
Stop it. Come on.
Homo.
Hey, get off me.
Stop it.
Stop that immediately!
Are you crazy!
Come on.
Hello. - Hey.
We...
...are the performers. - Sure. Come on in.
Guys, they're here.
Hi.
Yeah.
No... - Yeah.
Good aftemoon, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
A warm welcome to one and all.
And I'd like to convey my best wishes to Fleur...
...who is presently celebrating her fifth birthday.
Yeah.
The first song...
...we'd like to perform...
...for you, is the song:
Farmer, How Do You Like My Chickens?
farmer, how do you like my chickens
farmer, how do you like my...
...rooster
don't they have lovely feathers
or don't you like the color
farmer, how do you like my chickens
farmer, how do you like my rooster
Presently we've already come to our second song.
The second song we'd like to perform for you this aftemoon is the song:
Sleep Baby, Sleep.
Take off those feathers.
Yeah. - Straighten your hair.
Straighten your hair.
Good. - Yeah.
sleep baby, sleep
outside there is a sheep
a sheep with four tiny white feet
drinking his milk like a treat
sleep baby, sleep
outside there is an...
...ape!
Thanks so much. We really enjoyed it. - Can we settle the bill?
Right. Completely forgot. - Your receipt.
My apologies. Right. There you go.
Know what? This is for you. Thanks again.
See you.
OK.
Hello?
Yes, speaking.
That's us.
A party? Good.
When?
Tomorrow?
But... that's a Sunday.
Go and take a shower.
And put your clothes in the machine. You can't come to church like that tomorrow.
Fred.
Sit down, Fred.
How are you doing, Fred?
Fine.
His own clothes are still in the laundry.
That's why.
Let us pray.
Oh, etemal God and most merciful Father...
...we humble ourselves from the bottom of our heart...
...before Your mighty majesty...
...against Whom we have sinned so often and so abominably.
We acknowledge that we deserve nothing but etemal death.
Yes, we confess to our humiliation...
...and at the cost of Your mercy...
...that our sins...
...outnumber the hair on our head.
And that we owe 10,000 talents...
...we have no money to pay for, so that we are not worthy...
...of being called Your children.
Nor worthy of lifting our eyes to Heaven to offer You our prayers.
According to Your will, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen. - Amen.
Amen.
For how long is he staying here, Fred?
For as long as he wants.
We can find him other accommodation, with proper supervision.
For your own protection as well, Fred.
What do you mean by that?
There are limits, Fred.
I'll be right back.
TRAVEL AGENT
I'm ready for you. Have a seat.
How can I help you?
I'd like some information.
I want to go to the Matterhom. - Switzerland. Wonderful, isn't it?
For how many people?
Two, please.
People.
How would you like to travel? - Just by bus.
For how long?
A couple of days.
A week? - Yes.
How many stars?
Do you want a lot of luxury? - No, that's not necessary.
No? Fine.
Right.
Oh, right. This is a very charming hotel situated at the foot of the Matterhom.
Fine. Let's do it. - Really?
This hotel is, including bus and breakfast, 940 euros for two people.
Right.
Can I think about it for a while? - Yes, of course.
I'll give you some brochures, so you can peruse them at home. OK?
This one... Oh, this one's nice too.
I hope there's something here for you.
Thank you very much. - You're welcome.
Bye.
Yes, goodbye.
Let's go!
This is where I asked her to marry me.
I prayed for it
I waited for a long while
that God would give me a woman with a big smile
with Him we will live
with Him we will go
God be praised in His name we are one
in sickness and in health I'll stay
filled with love...
...I will show you His way
And then I asked.
Do you want to marry me?
Yes, sir.
You'll keep on living with me.
Yeah.
We want to inform you of a change of address.
He has to be registered officially at my address.
We're getting married.
That's nonsense, of course.
IDs, please.
You are Theo Huisman?
Married to Saskia de Wit. Address: Zuiderdijk 5.
Theo!
Theo.
Oh, Theo. My sweet guy.
Oh, sweet, sweet boy.
We're getting married.
Hey, hello.
Would you like a cup of tea?
Did you want to go to the Matterhom with Theo?
Yes.
Do you know how he came to be like that?
He was in a serious accident.
No one thought he'd pull through.
He actually needs constant supervision and structure.
Apparently, I wasn't able to give him that.
I really tried, but he started running away.
He roamed around.
I went to get him every time, but...
...he kept running away, so...
He even lived in a home for a while, but he ran away there too.
I really tried everything.
My wife was fatally hit by a car.
Good aftemoon, I'd like to book you for my son's birthday.
Perhaps you could call me back at 14953.
I repeat: 14953. Thank you.
Hi.
We don't exist anymore.
We're not performing anymore.
The duo with the children's songs.
Right, for your son.
Yes, it's a shame.
We split up.
One moment, please.
I'll call you back.
You have to go back.
It's not possible.
Get it.
Kick.
Kick. Good job.
And kick.
Good job. Kick.
You'll understand that the church is closed to you from now on.
And who are you to decide that?
Everyone's welcome in God's house. Right?
Except for the devil.
Good.
Kick.
No one is safe with him. He's cursed.
Trudy would still have been alive with me.
We would have had healthy children.
Did Fred tell you he stole Trudy from me?
We're getting married.
Come on.
Devil.
OK. We're getting married.
Come on.
Yeah.
I brought some clean clothes for him.
Hi, sweetheart.
What happened to you. - An accident.
If only you knew how happy I am that Theo's found a home again.
Yeah.
That you're doing so well.
I hope I can come by sometimes to see how you're doing.
Of course.
Right?
She's so beautiful.
You have a son. - Yes, but he left home.
Ooh, Bach.
I only have Bach.
Really? - Yeah.
Nice.
Well...
Your bag. - Yeah.
Oh, right...
This is half of our savings. More than enough to visit the Matterhom.
Thank you.
You can phone me any time.
Good.
There we go.
OK, come on.
There, like that.
Are you ready?
Do you promise to have and to hold me from this day forward...
...for better or for worse, in sickness or in health...
...for richer, for poorer...
...until death do us part?
Do you promise you will lead a holy life with me...
...to be faithful no matter what may lie ahead...
...according to the teachings of our Lord?
How do you answer?
Yes, sir.
Your tum.
Do you promise...
Do you promise to have and to hold me from this day forward...
Yes, sir.
No, you have to repeat after me.
How do you answer?
Yes. - Yeah.
Now I said 'yes' as well.
So now we're married. - Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
I've never...
...met anyone who dares to test the Lord as much as you, Fred.
What has that Lord ever done for me?
God moves in mysterious ways.
It's not about our happiness. - No.
And what has he ever done for you?
Trudy was everything to me.
From the moment you stole her from me...
...nothing and no one has ever replaced her.
You even stole him from me.
Come on.
If you feel like having a drink...
Drinks are at my place.
May I use your bathroom?
Everything...
Everything is in harmony.
In this you see the perfection...
...of God's creation.
Could you look after him tonight?
Of course.
Hello.
This is Fred.
Want one? - Nice.
Trudy always baked them herself.
Delicious.
My son...
...I kicked him out.
Trudy was never able to forgive me for that.
He sang like an angel.
Johan!
