Quotes
-
Oscar : [interviewed for Boma's radio] 'Balthazar Boma is the ideal team president for me. He's always been royally behind' - excuse me, 'loyally behind our team. I have my choice.' 'Made' - excuse me, 'I've made my choice.'
[as Pico enters the cafe]
Oscar : I vote for Boma.
Pico : Thanks a lot, huh.
Oscar : Or Pico.
Pascale : Oscar, you have no character.
Bieke : Oh, he has. That of a mussel.
Oscar : Thanks for your input, Bea*trijs*. Besides, I have work to do.
Marc : We'll cut that out. Now a short response from Xavier Waterloos.
Xavier : No, *slaeghers*.
Marc : Right, *slaeghers*.
Xavier : 'To me, Boma is' - here, eat this!
[he makes a dismissive gesture, rubbing his finger under his nose that he can forget about winning]
Carmen : You'll regret that, you know!
[Xavier leaves the table and sits with Pico, aligning himself with him]
Boma : Cut! Cut, I said!
Bieke : [talks in mic] 'That's demagoguery. Free radio is being misused to do politics. I demand that Pico also be given a fair chance, a confrontation'.
Boma : [to Marc] Cut everything.
[Marc is reluctant]
Boma : You can have a confrontation the night before the election. Pascale, from now on everyone will drink at my expense.
[general praise]
Pico : [to Bieke and Doortje] I don't have the financial capacity to do what he does, treat the cafe like that.
Bieke : You have other qualities, Pico. You need to approach people and ask them where you can help.
Doortje : Good idea, and we'll do printing.
Bieke : And you'll deliver it yourself.
Xavier : Door to door.
Doortje : We'll stick more posters. I'll go to Dimitri and ask him if we can use his station wagon to transport your equipment.
Pico : That's a great idea, Doortje.
Pascale : Bieke, serve the customers. Come on.
Bieke : Mom, I'm busy here.
[phone rings]
Pascale : Hello, this is F.C. De Kampioenen's clubhouse. Yes? Boma! It's for you.
[he takes over the call]
Boma : Hello, Balthasar Boma, second placed on Municipal Interest's list? What?
[scene shifts; Dimitri is the caller, from his office]
Dimitri : Yeah so it was the justice of peace - Does it mean I'm the Acting Returning Officer? That's not just for everyone, is it? And I have to find my assessors myself then? No problem. Ah, you'll be coming to my place? Alright, see you in a while then.
[ends the call]
Dimitri : Stay calm, Dimitri. Keep your wits about you.
[Dimitri closes the slats between which Pico's poster hangs and reveals Boma's poster but Doortje enters and spots it]
Doortje : You are one big hypocrite, you are.
Dimitri : What?
Doortje : The posters? You're in cahoots with Boma, aren't you? Admit it!
Dimitri : No, Doortje. I'm the Acting Returning Officer, you see. So I have to be neutral. A little bit of Pico here, a little bit of Boma there.
Doortje : Coward. How much does he pay you?
Dimitri : Nothing. You don't have to get so mad, you know. I have something very important to ask.
Doortje : I'm curious.
Dimitri : I don't know if I'm allowed to ask, 'cause Pico's your husband. But what I wanted to ask was if you wanted to be a *concubine* by any chance?
[he confused assessor "bijzitter" with concubine "bijzit", she slaps him; she leaves]

Dimitri : [invalid voting scene] 'De Backer Pascale Melanie Eugène'?
Pascale : That's right. Dimitri, my convocation letter, please. Thanks.
[she leaves]
Dimitri : [to Carmen] Your convocation letter.
Carmen : I left it in the car. Give me a moment.
Xavier : The tip of the pencil has broken off.
Dimitri : Here, take my Biro.
Xavier : The pencil tore the paper, so this is invalid. Can I get another form?
Dimitri : Alright, I'll make an exception for you.
[he gives him a new form, the voting booths are full]
Dimitri : [to Bieke] Go back.
[Boma arrives]
Boma : [in French] Bonjour, Dimitri.
Pico : Excuse me, Mr. President, line up like everyone else.
Dimitri : Leave the man alone, would you Pico? He has other work, you know.
Pico : That could be.
[they close the queue nonetheless]
Boma : You voted for me, didn't you Pascale?
Pascale : Of course, Balthasar.
[Carmen returns]
Carmen : Here's my letter.
[opens Oscar's booth]
Dimitri : Oscar? There's other people waiting.
Oscar : Have some patience, and let me think for a second.
Dimitri : Oscar, I'll count down from five and then you must've voted. Understood?
Dimitri : Five!
[he leaves the booth]
Doortje : Finally.
[he is about to cast his vote, he delays]
Oscar : One moment, okay.
[he returns to the booth]
Dimitri : [to Carmen] How 'bout your passport?
Carmen : You know who I am, fool, don't you?
Dimitri : Carmen, I don't know anyone. Give me your passport.
Carmen : What kind of nonsense is this?
Xavier : Carmen, wait. Dimitri, you still have mine, right?
Dimitri : Sure. 'Waterslaeghers Xavier Michel Jean-Marie'?
[he laughs]
Xavier : Yeah that's it. Alright, so here's your passport and bring it yourself next time.
Dimitri : Let's move on. 'Vandormael Carmen Virginie Philomène'.
[he laughs]
Carmen : Hey what kind of comedy is this, uh?
[she votes blank, she is angry]
Dimitri : That'll cost you a lawsuit. You have to enter one of the voting booths.
Bieke : Yes, Carmen. That's the name of the law.
Carmen : Shut up, silly sheep. Alright, give me a new form. I'll show you what I do with it.
[Carmen enters Oscar's voting booth by accident, enters the other instantly leaves]
Carmen : Take this, returning officer of kiss my ass.
[votes blank again]
Dimitri : Zal 't gaan, ja!
Oscar : Hey how's one supposed to concentrate here?
Dimitri : Back in your cage!
