Levenslied

Vader Vreeland:
[at school] So, fellow!

Boutros Sroer:
Who are you?

Vader Vreeland:
Oh... he is smart!

Boutros Sroer:
Oh... my name is Sroer.

Vader Vreeland:
I prefer to call you smartboy.

Boutros Sroer:
[started] Perhaps...

Vader Vreeland:
I don't think so. I have nothing against your kin, is that clear?

Boutros Sroer:
My kin?

Vader Vreeland:
Does the name Jasmijn Vreeland ring a bell? That is my daughter. And you are Sroer with loose hands.

Boutros Sroer:
Good that you are here, Mr. Vreeland. Then I can explain the situation.

Vader Vreeland:
Oh yeah, explain... You are damned good at it, at explaining. I have another way... That is without repetation. [punch Sroer on his face]

Boutros Sroer:
[falls down]

[the pupils of the school are witness of it and start to yell]

Vader Vreeland:
The next time you stay away from my daughter with your hands! Is that clear? [and he leaves]

Boutros Sroer:
[at the principal's office] My bag is yet up there.

Clemens Mentink:
Martin already took that away. You know him.

Boutros Sroer:
As soon when they are going to beat up teachers...

Clemens Mentink:
He first went to me.

Boutros Sroer:
Oh, to get permission... yeah right.

Clemens Mentink:
If you allow me...

Boutros Sroer:
[mocking, sarcastic] 'Am I allowed to give some hits to Mr. Boutros Sroer.'

Clemens Mentink:
That was not the point.

Boutros Sroer:
[emotional, angry] There were APPLAUDING, Clemens! My God... It is so humiliating.

Clemens Mentink:
[sits down at his desk] I have to take Mr. Vreeland's complaint seriously.

Boutros Sroer:
What complaint?

Clemens Mentink:
The incident with Jasmijn.

Boutros Sroer:
I have told you what happened...

Clemens Mentink:
It is an official complaint.

Boutros Sroer:
[angry] Oh? Are we going to behave us officialy, is that it? To take it seriously? That guy beats up a teacher, Clemens!

Clemens Mentink:
I have seen you raging, by the way!

Boutros Sroer:
May I defend myself?

Clemens Mentink:
Listen...

Boutros Sroer:
I am not listening! You must call the police! Report it! If you let it all happen...

Clemens Mentink:
Do you think, the police can solve that?

Boutros Sroer:
[calms down a bit] Do you sometimes watch the news?

Clemens Mentink:
I try to suppress the conflict, but you are only screaming.

Boutros Sroer:
[enrages again, furious] I HAVE BEEN HIT!

Clemens Mentink:
I do know that!
