Callboys (2016–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Slikken en doorgaan - full transcript

Playpong.

Clear. Unambiguous.
Tells you what it's for.

Playing ping-pong.

And now we get
something different.

We still know we're playing
but we no longer know what.

We have widened the playing field,

moved the horizon.

And how did we do this?

With a simple piece of tape.

Play.
And that's where most people stop.

The field is wide enough, they think.
We'll find something there.



And they're right.
They'll find something there.

Sausage is what they'll find there.
Sausage and mediocrity.

And shrubbery.

Can you cut the bullshit?

Put down the horse.

Sorry, Gaetan, that was too much.

Lay.

This is where I want us to play.

Where there's no sausages,
no fields or boundaries.

Lay. Where everything is possible.

Every day, every hour, every minute.

Lay.

Lay, lay, lay...

Went bankrupt after six months.
Huge debts.



The man is in psychiatry now.

Here you are.

Good acoustics. Dry.

We had extra insulation put in and
comply with all environmental standards.

Europe.

And what does
the central heating use?

I think it's natural gas but I'll just...

J, look over there.

No way.

Are there any rackets?

- It's natural gas.
- Is it?

And upstairs, what's up there?

He had all sorts of plans for this.
Cartoon studio, art gallery,

something with video games, etc.
Never happened.

And would it be possible
to buy this part separately?

No, it's both the upstairs and downstairs.
It says so here.

Oh, right. Shame.

- Hep, 1-0.
- Warm up first.

No, Vleugels.

And 42 additional square meters
of storage space.

- Insulated, not heated.
- So we can cancel ours.

- What did you say?
- I was talking to Randy.

We've been renting a storage unit
for our stuff for over a year.

But we could just
move them here.

If you take it.

If we take it, yes.

Shall I give you two a moment?

That may be best.

When evaluating,
try to remember

how you felt when you walked in
for the first time.

That's still the best indication.

- Shame.
- What is?

That the saleswoman took over
for a moment at the end.

But I know what I felt, Randy.

You?

- 6-1.
- Bad racket.

That's the first thing we're going to do,
buy new rackets.

Go.

What?

Could you come here?

- No, Wes.
- Yes.

- This place is far too big. What will we do here?
- I don't know yet, Randy.

But this seems like the perfect place
to think about that.

- Shouldn't you...
- Wes, Randy?

- Could you come here for a moment?
- Now what?

What?

Flip it, Wes.

Flip the L.

See Wes, if the M is W,

then the L is J.

Jay...

My brother is here too.

Right...

Meeting.

What I find suspicious
is that she didn't answer

my question
about the kind of heating.

- She did but you had already left.
- Really?

What are we going to do with
all that room upstairs?

- Gym, sauna.
- Storage space.

- Storage of what?
- Storage of...

Of Callboys.

We'll make studio apartments there
and we'll live there.

At least I will.

Boys, I feel good here.

So do I.

Good vibe.

Indeed, I can see it
happening here too.

Do it.

Do it.

Decisive vole, Randy. Shall I give it
or will we do it together?

Well...

Do it then?

- So, did we cut the cord, boys?
- I believe we did, Fabienne.

THREE WEEKS LATER

- And on the right are storage units.
- Devon.

- And when you're there, call me.
- Hurry up. And?

- Well...
- What?

- That was uncle Dimitrios.
- I know, you were going to call him.

- When will he be here?
- He took a wrong turn. He'll be late.

- For fuck's sake! I knew it.
- You didn't know anything.

- First meeting today, Devon.
- I know, J.

Goddammit.

- That's all new too?
- Yes, it's all in here.

What is that?

Those are the invoices
for all of the equipment, etc.

Arranged everything
in three weeks' time.

Plus a deal with the garage
for two cars.

- That's in there too.
- Hats off to Randy.

Big hats.

- There's something I don't understand.
- OK?

You came to Vanhee Consult
for financial guidance.

Correct.

So why do you buy a building first
and only come to me after?

Sorry Ms. Vanhee, but with all due respect
I don't think we need your permission for that.

Not my permission. My advice.
That's what you pay me for.

We stood there,
and Randy will confirm this,

when the four of us
decided that we'd do it.

- We didn't need any advice.
- You did.

Because I could have told you it was better
not to pay it all in cash

but to get a loan from the bank.

Sure, we'll borrow from the bank
when we can pay it all outright.

That mortgage is tax deductible,
Mr. Biets.

- You're planning to live here?
- We already do, upstairs.

And how?

- A little bit improvised at the moment...
- No, what is the arrangement?

Is it rented, sold,
with benefits in kind?

- Doesn't matter, it's ours.
- No, Mr. Biets, it's not ours.

It belongs to the partnership.

These are all things
that I explained to you.

You were writing it all down, Mr. Paret.

Randy, Uncle Dimitrios
only arrived just now.

He took a wrong turn.

Devon told me
you don't have any tear glands.

- I don't understand.
- Tears, the water you put in your eye.

- Devon.
- No, with the pipette.

- He uses the pipette to...
- Devon.

- Hold on. What's the matter, uncle?
- What did he say?

- Who said what?
- Him there.

- What's he saying, Devon?
- Randy, I'll call you back.

- What are you saying?
- Just making small talk about his eye.

- You shouldn't do that.
- Why not?

- Because it's a sensitive subject.
- So what do I say to him?

- That it's his fault we missed the meeting?
- Right J, it's okay, we know.

OK, fine. Right, fine, we know.

- Take it over there.
- What are those?

- Dildos.
- How many?

- Lots.
- Hey, Devon.

Is that you?

What do you think?

Thank you.

Into the van with that junk.

- I don't think they're going to make it.
- Right...

So I'll leave this here.

Sign it where the post-its are,
all four of you.

Are the purchase documents for this place
in here?

No, in here.

- Is that the saleswoman?
- Yes.

She seems to have had a good day.

- All purchases are in here.
- I don't need that, yet.

- Are all four of you planning to live here?
- Yes.

- Do any of you own any other real estate?
- Not me.

- No.
- Devon and J neither, I think.

- J is Mr. Vleugels?
- Jeremy, yes.

You think or you know?

Know. I think.

Look.
That's exactly what I mean, Mr. Paret.

A waste of time. That should
all have been known and discussed.

Sorry.

Right, sorry.

Don't say sorry, Randy.
It ends here.

You can stop trying to humiliate us.

We are your client and
your client has made a decision.

A bit quick maybe but that's how we roll.
Straight ahead. On the gut.

- Mr. Biets.
- We pay you to roll with us.

That means you have to adapt to us
and not the other way around.

We're the ones at the helm.

No problem, then we'll do it that way.

But that will cost you a lot of money
and I think that's a shame.

I'll send you a list of questions, Mr. Paret.

So long as I don't have it back,
I can't start.

Gentlemen.

I don't like her.

She does know
what she's talking about, Wes.

That may be the case, Randy, but I think
shes negative and unpleasant.

I'm not going to let her ruin
our first day here. I'm going to row.

Check. J?

J?

Devon, come and see.

What?

- What is that?
- A folder of my brother's.

Be careful.

Hey, Jempi.

Aquarium.

- With its head up.
- And in the center.

Proud.

Right...

Meeting.

Who will guarantee
that you're not going to do it again?

Me.

Me.

Et qui va me rassurer
that you're not going to do it again?

Me.

Et moi.

Anthony Biets.

For me?

Yes.

- Biets. There should be some mail for me.
- Yes.

There you are.

What?

No, no, no.

COMPENSATION

Robbie Boni, Serge Leveque's
personal secretary. How can I help you?

- This is Anthony Biets.
- Oh, Mr. Biets, how are you?

Could I speak to Mr. Leveque, please?

- I'd advise against that, Mr. Biets.
- Would you?

Yes, don't.
Let your lawyer contact ours

and let them sort it out between them.

You do have representation, Mr. Biets?

- No.
- Mr. Biets, that won't do, you...

Shut up.

Tell Leveque I know how he can get hold of
his father's money.

Hello, Mr. Boni?

Hold on a moment, Mr. Biets.

Hello?

Biets?

This is Serge Leveque.

Are you saying
that money isn't stuck?

Not stuck stuck, no.

- Boni?
- Yes, Mr. Leveque.

Set it up. Today.

- Mr. Biets?
- You heard him, Boni.

Set it up.

You know where to find me.

OK, boys.

Callboys 2.0.

New story.

- First day, first meeting.
- First day of school.

And it's straight to detention for you,
because you were late.

There. Uncle Pipetolos was late.

Stop calling him that, J.
I already warned you.

Doesn't matter, you didn't miss anything.
Wasn't a nice meeting.

Pauline? How come?

Let's just say the hierarchy
wasn't clear for everyone

but it is now. Right, Randy?

Sure.

I received her questionnaire.
Maybe we should do that first.

Maybe wait a bit, Randy?
I'm building up to something.

For you.

For here.

For what we've achieved in such a short time
after the fire. Congratulations.

And thank you.

Randy.

- Callboys.
- Callboys.

- That gentleman in that video earlier.
- Dalai Lama.

- No, Mahatma Gandhi.
- Yeah?

Lama.

I came across that clip a few days ago
and it inspired me.

- And I wanted to share it with you.
- Thank you.

I'd like to suggest we regularly start
meetings with something like that.

Not every day, of course,
but now and then.

So if you see something you think you'd like
to share with the others, come to me.

Do you know the one with
the Ferrari and the carpet?

Brilliant.

- Randy, how do I get onto that beamer?
- Not now, Devon.

- Why not?
- Save it for next time.

Two is overkill.

- Tomorrow then?
- Maybe. But be strict, filter.

We won't do it every day
so it has to be really special.

It is special. Isn't it, J?

It's not that special,
I already know it so...

So what?

I think Wes means to pick something
we can really think about.

Like that clip of Matandi.
Or am I seeing it wrong, Wes?

What did you learn from Matandi?

- Mahatma Gandhi.
- See? You don't even remember his name.

- Neither do you.
- You don't have a say in my clips.

I'm just saying it's not that special.

- I think it is.
- I already knew it.

Doesn't matter if you've seen it before.

Paret, do you know that clip
with the Ferrari and the carpet?

Good, isn't it?

And all of them.
All to the ground.

- Absolutely an option for me.
- Right, Wes?

It's still funny.
For real.

OK.

So here we are, Callboys.

- First day, new story.
- First day of school.

- You already said that, Devon.
- True.

Who wants to start?

I thought you.

Right. What has been bubbling
in that cauldron of yours?

A number of things, J.
Options.

But first I'd like to go round the table,
hear from everyone.

I've got a list from the contractor
for upstairs...

- Don't start with the practicalities, Randy.
- Put that away.

Spontaneous first.
Freewheel.

Already?

- We found something in the storage unit.
- What?

A folder with Jay's papers.

We've been looking inside.

Oh, no.
I know that folder.

Look at that.
A Viking. That was his thing.

A great artist he was, Jay.
Wasn't he?

Yeah, superb.

He got that from our mom.
She was great at drawing too.

Ideas, drawings. But there's one idea
in there that makes us feel like, yes.

Yeah, that could be something.

- Golden, I reckon.
- What?

- Too early to tell, Randy.
- I was about to say that.

It's important we discuss it first
before presenting it officially.

- Testing and finetuning.
- And...

- Sigi.
- We'd really like to involve Sigi.

- Because technical...
- Because it's difficult technically.

- What?
- Sigi?

Yes, Sigi.

- Do you know who just texted me?
- Sigi or what?

You're joking!
We were just talking about him.

That's what I mean by good vibes.
Those kind of things, that's incredible.

- What did he say?
- Good news.

The website is online.

Sigi boy.

- Fuck, man. Good, no?
- Nice.

- Wesley Biets.
- So, guys?

He who goes his own way is never overtaken.
You did go for that one after all?

- It was the best one.
- Suits you.

I want to go over the contractor's list.

- Important moment, the shop's opening again.
- That's why. The phone will ring any moment now.

- There you are.
- It works. The numbers correct.

Sorry, Randy, go ahead.

The contractor won't carry on
working on the apartments

until we decide where things will go.

- I want a bidet and pastel lighting.
- I want those spotlights in the floor and light.

For on the wall.

I've got a list we can review.

That's not me.

Alright, we're off.

The ladies.

Who's picking up?

I am.

Safe travels, boys.

Callboys, good afternoon,
Wesley Biets speaking.

Press on the left.

Callboys, Wes speaking.

- Hello, Saskia.
- Saskia. Good name. Soft and hard.

Sas-kia.

- Also a car, Kia.
- True.

Of course, Saskia.
Thank you.

Congratulations, Randy.
First client 2.0.

Numero uno.

We're off.

- Meeting over then?
- Yes, I think so.

What? Nothing has been said.

Sorry? Nothing has been said?
We've got plenty to do.

- Lounge area, J? Works better.
- We'll call Sigi first.

- J, a game first, up to eleven.
- Yes, to get the juices flowing.

Juice up your ass.
I'll wipe the floor with you.

We'll see about that.

What was that, Wes?

- What was what?
- That meeting.

You shouldn't let their discussions go on for so
long. It makes everything take three times as long.

And I know those papers from Jay.
It won't work. It'll just breed conflict.

Will it?

I don't know.

You're too negative, Randy.

I'm not negative.

I just expected
a little more than this.

I'm going to take a shower.

- I do this...
- Point. Counts.

- Doesn't count. I was speaking, Devon.
- You were ready.

Are you serious?
Are you really serious?

No problem.
We'll play like that from now on.

- Out. 0-2.
- Dammit. That doesn't count.

- Does.
- I was asking something.

- So don't speak.
- It doesn't count.

You hit it out, that's a point.

Sigi, J says we should
test it over there.

- Of course we'll test it over there.
- I agree.

- So we get to be there again.
- Give here.

I'll put him through.

Sigi, we're doing it there,
end of discussion.

Doesn't matter. Just throw it in the trunk
and meet us there.

- Wes.
- Bye, Wes.

Be careful.

Come on.

Focus, focus.

- Hello.
- Can I print something here?

Of course. Around back.
I'll come with you.

- Hello.
- Hello. Deweze. I called earlier.

- Hello.
- Serge Leveque.

- I have an appointment with Biets, Alain.
- He's just here.

- Where?
- Around back, printing something.

Tell him I'm waiting in the bar.
Serge Leveque.

- Success.
- Mr. Leveque is here to see you.

- Where is he?
- At the bar.

OK. Prepared.

Hello.

- How is your brother doing?
- Badly.

Scarred for life and in considerable pain.
You know what it will cost you.

And that amount is non-negotiable.

- Two white martinis on ice, please.
- Not for me.

It's not for you.

And some nuts, no peanuts.

- Go ahead.
- Right.

- I received a letter from your lawyers.
- I know.

Do you know what I don't understand,
Mr. Leveque?

You're asking me for one and a half million
euros for your brother's face.

In your father's account
there's more than thirty.

What is that?

Is there a way to reach
our father's money, yes or no?

- Yes.
- There you go.

And you want us to drop the suit
if you tell us how. Correct?

The answer is, right away.
Suit dropped.

You've probably brought a paper with you
you want me to sign that says all this?

Hand over.

Just in time.

There you go.

Thank you.

Shoot, Biets.

Did you read your father's contract
with the bank?

No, of course not.
I've got people for that.

- They didn't do their job properly.
- Is that right?

Yes.

In March the European Central Bank
decided to tighten the rules on funds.

If not they have to pay up in '23.

In Brussels they went crazy.
All those old funds on the radar.

They want to delay it
so that it's only paid out in '28.

A child's drawing in that file.
And they say, that's Grandpa's.

Grandpa is a bit...
Grandpa drew that.

And they won!

Can I have a nut?

Thank you.

If you just do what I told you, the money
can be in your account in two weeks.

OK.

- Anything else?
- No.

Can I take those papers with me?

I think so. I think.

- Could you make sense of what I said?
- No, Biets, not a single word.

- But I recorded it.
- Oops.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

I'll give it to my people along with the papers
and they'll tell me what to do.

I think you should've mentioned
the recording.

I don't.

Going for a pee.

- Hello, Sigi man.
- Hi, Devon.

- Jeremy.
- J, please.

- Yeah, J, sorry.
- Good site, Sigi.

- Really great.
- Absolutely.

- First class.
- Thanks, I'm glad.

But we're here for something else.

Look who I've brought with me, Sigi.

Right. But guys, I really do think
it's way too soon.

I suggest we wait
until we have the right equipment.

- Did you bring a balloon?
- Yes, but not a proper one.

It's from Dad's 60th birthday.
I don't...

Sigi, when we're up there in a minute
I want to see a different attitude.

We're here for a test run
so we'll test.

I'd like you to get everything prepared.

- Devon, it really is way too soon.
- Sigi, that doesn't matter.

It's just a test.

East wind, moderate.

What's that?

Meat croquettes, you ordered some.

Good idea.

I've given it some more thought.

- Could I have those papers back?
- No.

It's just that
I think they'll ask at the bank

- how you found out so...
- So what?

Maybe it's best
if you don't mention it came from me.

Why not?

Look,

I'd like to find another job
in our sector.

That's difficult now after
the incident with your brother.

But if I'm able to say you dropped
the suit, the prospects would be better.

Of course I'll say it came from you.
Who else?

- That wasn't the idea at all.
- Pat, pull up the car. We're done here.

No, the idea was
to drop my brother's suit.

That's what it says on the paper
I scribbled on.

And if the money is in our account
in two weeks' time, that's what we'll do.

- Please don't say it came from me.
- You should've thought of that before.

Look, I just need a pound of flesh
to give Philip

- when he hears we're not suing.
- Flesh?

Yes, flesh.

- 30 million, isn't that enough flesh?
- I agree,

but it's not my face
someone pushed glass into.

If I can tell Philip that we've made
your life a lot harder,

maybe that will calm him down.

Here. You can keep the rest.

Please.

No begging, Biets.
Don't. Just don't.

We don't beg among the big boys.

Swallow and carry on.

Can I get you anything else, sir?

- Whisky.
- Right.

No... Two.

Two?

Wow.

That raised my spirits, Saskia.

- Really?
- Yes, really.

Mine too.

I want another round.

- Do you have the time?
- Yes.

But not the money.

Come on.

It's on me.

Really?

There you go.

- It's ready but I wouldn't...
- Sigi, stop it.

J, can you switch it on?

Dildo into space, test one.

To infinity and beyond.

- I knew it.
- What kind of balloon is that?

I told you
it was too soon, J.

- It's the wrong side.
- Dammit, the car.

To infinity and beyond.

Dammit, the car.

Sigi, I think you should move the camera
a bit farther back

- so you can see the tail better.
- Right.

- But really amazing image quality.
- Yes, really good.

- Well done.
- Next time for real.

There. Did you hear that?
That's the spirit. That's the spirit.

Test succeeded.

The paint, goddammit.

We'll have to settle that, Sigi.
What I'll do is

have Pauline from accounts contact you
and she'll round it off nicely.

- Here, Wes. Hi, Wes.
- Wesley.

- Devon, will you be back soon please?
- We're done here. Is something wrong?

Yes, your uncle Dimitrios is here. He wants
to say something but I don't understand.

- Sure man, take it easy.
- Put him through.

- Here, it's Devon, your cousin.
- Devon.

Uncle.

You said half beforehand
and half afterwards.

Uncle, put the boy back on.

Gracias.

- Hey?
- He wants to be paid, Wes.

- But you already paid him?
- Half.

- How much is it?
- 500.

- What?
- So 250?

- No, another 500.
- What?

- 1000 euros to empty a storage unit?
- Stay out of it, J.

I won't, it's my money too.
Don't pay, Wes.

I will pay him, J.
I don't understand him and I want him gone.

Here, take everything.
Now you go.

No, Wes, keep him there until we get back.
That's theft.

- Hello?
- Wes?

Are you completely out of your mind?
1000 euros. Filthy thief.

- Are you calling my uncle Dimitrios a thief?
- Yes, I am.

- You take that back.
- I won't. Why should I?

- Take it back, J.
- I'm not taking anything back.

What you said about my uncle
you will take back this instant.

With his dry eyes.

- Uncle Pipette.
- My uncle is called Dimitrios, not uncle Pipette.

Could you settle your bill, sir?
I would like to close my cash register.

Right.

You can keep the rest.

It's 127 euros, sir.

Correct.

We're 27 euri short.

Now I'll repeat what I said.

You can keep the rest.

Silver is good but gold is best.

That's from grandma.

Profit, 23 euri.

Unexpected.

- Thank you.
- You too.

- Bye, Saskia.
- Bye, Randy.

Lift's on its way...
