- Dimitri De Tremmerie: Zal 't gaan, ja!
- [repeated line, Dimitri's comment on eg. De Kampioenen kicking a soccer ball through one of his dealership's windows; along the lines of saying *Mind your language*, *Watch your tongue*, *Take it easy, a'ight?* and shouting *Are you out of your mind!*, the line is actually a combo of these situations, so depending on the context in which the line is uttered]
- Balthazar Boma: Mijn gedacht!
- [repeated line, Boma stands firmly behind something he says; alternatively, he says the line when he agrees with an unparticular statement made by another person]
- Oscar Crucke: Skavier.
- [repeated line, pronouncing Xavier's name wrong; Xavier is pronounced "ksavje:", Oscar puts the 's' before the 'k']
- Oscar Crucke: Pascaleke, begint nie, hè.
- [repeated line, to keep Pascale from complaining or when there's about to be a heated discussion]
- Oscar Crucke: Did you ever watch Aad de Mos? Or Arie Haan? These men don't wear raincoats anymore. They wear tailored Italian costumes.
- Pascale De Backer: Really. Do they also wear their wedding suit?
- [from "De nieuwe truitjes"]
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: You can't. You wouldn't dare.
- Pico Coppens: I wouldn't dare what?
- [hits Oscar's marking truck by kicking a soccer ball at it from a fair distance]
- Oscar Crucke: Who did that?
- Pico Coppens: Something wrong, gaffer?
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: You look so pale, Kampioen?
- Oscar Crucke: If we're more than eleven you can score goals from the bench, Pico.
- Pico Coppens: That's OK. Pick Bieke instead of me. It adds movement to the game.
- [Pico and Xavier shake their behind]
- Pico Coppens: And from left to right and from left to right and from left to right...
- Oscar Crucke: My daughter stays behind the counter. And she'll forget you're in front of it 'cause I'll forget to give you a token after the game.
- Pico Coppens: Look at that. You're gonna spend some, uh?
- Oscar Crucke: Spend some? Kick some, it is.
- [kicks the ball away, it hits one of Dimitri's windows breaking it]
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: [storms out his garage, yells] Zal 't gaan, ja!
- [from "De nieuwe truitjes"]
- Pico Coppens: Dimitri.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: [first line in himself, then to Pico] Don't get personal. Mr Captain. My clients rise in rank.
- Pico Coppens: Boma's car radio. He wants it repaired today but I don't have time for that.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: Sure. Sir has to kick out garage windows, uh?
- Pico Coppens: I aim when I shoot.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: So you do it on purpose.
- [from "Carmens wasmachine"]
- Carmen Vandormael: [Oscar and Dimitri move a washing machine to the locker room, they're spotted by Carmen] What are you doing here?
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: [bends down] I can't tie my laces.
- Carmen Vandormael: Those are shoes without laces.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: Which is why I can't tie them.
- [from "Carmens wasmachine"]
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: [advanced drunken state] I made them sweat, uh. Those ordinary soldiers. With an iron... What do you call it?
- Oscar Crucke: Discipline?
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: Fist. With an iron fist. They just need to see or hear me from afar or...
- Oscar Crucke: Smell?
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: Recognize. Or they're already gone. But then again, that's good for, you know, for... what do you call it?
- Oscar Crucke: For their discipline?
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: For their authority. You're a coach, Kampioen. You do know that you need, you know... What do you call it?
- Oscar Crucke: Authority?
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: Discipline.
- Pascale De Backer: Oscar. I've served dinner three times already. Are you making fun of me?
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: There you go. That's what I call discipline.
- [from "Vogelvrij"]
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: They won't mess with us anymore, Kampioen. We'll show them we're real men.
- Pico Coppens: I'm in.
- Oscar Crucke: Cheers.
- Pico Coppens: Nashe zdoróvje.
- Oscar Crucke: Huh?
- [from "Vogelvrij"]
- Bieke Crucke: Have you seen my pills anywhere?
- Pascale De Backer: Good morning to you, too, Bieke. No, I haven't seen them.
- Bieke Crucke: They were on the mantelpiece.
- Oscar Crucke: Oh, yes. I've taken a few. It's junk. My headache isn't any better.
- Bieke Crucke: But... Have you taken my pills?
- Oscar Crucke: Don't be so greedy. I didn't tell you: 'Bieke, you're walking on my floor', did I?
- Bieke Crucke: You don't get it, dad. These are not pills for your headache, these are my pills!
- Oscar Crucke: What? Pascale, you said those painkillers were on the mantelpiece?
- Pascale De Backer: Yes, below Bieke's pills.
- Oscar Crucke: Then what have I taken?
- Bieke Crucke: Birth control pills.
- [from "De nieuwe kampioen"]
- Pascale De Backer: Oscar, I know what you're going to say. I always know what you're going to say.
- Oscar Crucke: Then why should I say it, if you know what I'm going to say?
- Pascale De Backer: Because I always hope that you're not going to say what I think you're going to say.
- Oscar Crucke: If you hope I won't say the things I have to say, why do you always do stuff which makes me say the things I have to say, though I'd rather not say them?
- Pascale De Backer: Oscar, are you gonna say what you have to say or what?
- Oscar Crucke: Doortje can't stay here.
- Pascale De Backer: I knew you'd say that.
- Oscar Crucke: What if all players's wives invaded the house, like her?
- [he means Doortje]
- Pascale De Backer: Then she would at least have something to say.
- Oscar Crucke: So you have the higher ground again... Who's got something to say here, actually?
- Pascale De Backer: Oscar, whenever you've got something to say, just come out and say it.
- [from "Doortje"]
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: [vintage Dimitri, Dimitri and Fons talking on the phone, Dimitri plans to have the match canceled because De Kampioenen kicked a ball through his window; Dimitri pretends he's Pico Coppens] Is this F.C. De Spuiters? Pico Coppens of F.C. De Kampioenen.
- Fire Chief Fons: Pico.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: I just wanted to let you know that there will be no play.
- Fire Chief Fons: Come on, Pico. This is the match of the year.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: It can't take place due to the condition of the pitch.
- Fire Chief Fons: How come?
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: There are pits in it.
- Fire Chief Fons: Pits? So what?
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: Those are not pits. It's more of a crater.
- Fire Chief Fons: A crater? How'd that happen?
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: A gas explosion.
- Fire Chief Fons: A gas explosion, you say?
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: You don't have to come, Fons. That's okay.
- Fire Chief Fons: No but... a crater, you said?
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: Well, it's more of a 'lil pit.
- Fire Chief Fons: We'll play the ball around the pit, Pico.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: No, you can't. Xavier Waterslaeghers broke his foot in that pit. We cannot play without a goalkeeper. Bye, Fons. We'd been delighted to win.
- [from "De nieuwe truitjes"]
- Oscar Crucke: Tonight we'll train without a goalkeeper, which means...
- Pico Coppens: No entertainment and less consumption.
- [from "De Streep"]
- Oscar Crucke: Had it all been that simple, then Napoleon wouldn't have lost the battle of the Yser either.
- [Pico and Xavier frown; from "De elfde man"]
- Pascale De Backer: [on Pico thrown out by Doortje because he's too busy with soccer] With Oscar it's just the same. Oscar often dreams about soccer. He's scoring goals from inside his bed sometimes.
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: Then you don't have to complain.
- Oscar Crucke: I've always maintained my physical condition pretty well.
- Pascale De Backer: Right. By playing soccer. You'd sleep with a ball if you could.
- Balthazar Boma: [as he enters] Does it have to be right now, Pascale?
- [from "Vogelvrij"]
- Balthazar Boma: [repeated line, invariably in French; something along the lines of "There it is" or "That's it"] Ça y est.
- Balthazar Boma: [repeated line, Boma treats the cafe; invariably in French, more than once without mentioning Pascale's name] Pascale, tournée générale.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: [De Kampioenen hit his window with their ball, knocking over a tube of lube oil; first line in himself, then to De Kampioenen] Damn right, it's Sunday again. You'll pay for that, you know!
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: I'm terribly sorry, Dimitri. Whenever it's such a small goal like your window, I just can't grab it.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: Get out of here!
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: As long as I stand strong in a while, uh.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: Zal 't gaan ja!
- [from "Doortje"]
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: [in himself, prepares for job interview to hire Doortje as his secretary; he's cheerful] And Doortje? Do you like it here? Have a seat, Doortje. What? That men can be tidy at times? Sure. If only we want to we're capable of anything. We just need to be motivated. That I look good still? You have to take good care of your fitness.
- [sits down]
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: Well then what's up, Doortje?
- [stares ahead, crestfallen; from "Doortje"]
- Pico Coppens: I don't like you coming to work here. That man does nothing but bully us.
- Doortje Van Hoeck: Soccer's not my business.
- Pico Coppens: No but it's mine. The others will laugh at me.
- Doortje Van Hoeck: For the last time, Pico. We want to build our own house, uh? With the money you earn at school we can only buy a tent. Without groundsheet. So I have to bring in extra money. It's that simple.
- Pico Coppens: [Dimitri listens as he stands at his office door] Fair enough. But that doesn't mean you have to come work for such an idiot, does it? You can't look at a face like that all day without getting sick, can you? Damn, he's the man with the biggest mouth in western Europe.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: Zal 't gaan, ja?
- Pico Coppens: [startles] Dimitri. We were talking about the fairground. Last year there was a man...
- [walks off; from "Transfer"]
- Pico Coppens: At such an important moment I can't live up to it. Isn't it just terrible? Bieke. The things you did to me...
- Bieke Crucke: It's not my fault if you let me dispossess you of the ball, is it?
- Pascale De Backer: Sure, Bieke...
- Pico Coppens: How's that possible?
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: Yes, how's that possible?
- Oscar Crucke: At least you're sure of your place with us, Pico. Perhaps you'd be sitting on the bench there all the time.
- Pico Coppens: I know the reason.
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: Don't jump to conclusions.
- Pico Coppens: Bieke has no reflexes. If you have someone opposite you with reflexes, he will follow the feint. With someone who doesn't have reflexes, your run will be broken.
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: Right. That'll be it. And that's interesting for you, Oscar. Put an ad in the newspaper. "Looking for a player without reflexes."
- Oscar Crucke: I already have one. In goal.
- [from "Transfer"]
- Carmen Vandormael: [pours water out of her shoe] Take a look at this. Does it really cost so much? Half a truck of gravel?
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: If it depends on me then I'd have a ten-tonner with white marble come over tomorrow.
- [De Kampioenen kick a ball against his window; it withstands the blow]
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: It's already the second time this afternoon. What did Xavier do wrong this time? Did he shift to third gear when you honked?
- [from "De nieuwe truitjes"]
- Pico Coppens: [they're in bed] Who called?
- Doortje Van Hoeck: Dimitri. Full-time's not possible. It'll be part-time. What now?
- Pico Coppens: Pair-time.
- Doortje Van Hoeck: Huh?
- Pico Coppens: Well, as I said. Pair-time? You don't understand? Come here.
- [they're about to make love, fade out; from "Doortje"]
- De Kampioenen (excluding Dimitri): [naming Oscar by his nickname] Kampioen.
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: [enters the clubhouse, returning from the barracks] Hey guys. Three pints straight away.
- Pico Coppens: Sparkling water, please.
- [Oscar gets up to get the drinks]
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: I slept well.
- [rubs belly]
- Pico Coppens: Huh?
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: You know - I stood watch. Hey, our new scoreboard will soon be up with my army jeep.
- Oscar Crucke: Oh really?
- Pico Coppens: Is that allowed off duty?
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: You can't swear, too, am I right Pico? I'm a Belgian soldier of one piece, you know. I'll do my own thing. I was guarding the kitchen and I give the adjutant guarding the garage a leg of lamb. I can use a jeep until 5 'o' clock this evening.
- [they laugh]
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: We'll straighten that scoreboard out soon without getting our hands dirty.
- Pico Coppens: [ironically] So this is who we pay taxes for, uh.
- [from "Koopjes"]
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: [they are peeing next to each other] Good practice match, huh? De Knokkers are strong, though. Do you think you'll be able to earn that 1,000 francs bounty?
- Pico Coppens: You never know, Dimitri.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: You know, I'm very satisfied with Doortje.
- Pico Coppens: Well, me too.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: Chances are I'm promoting her.
- Pico Coppens: [sarcastically] Really? What'll she be? Head of your staff?
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: I'm talking about a raise or something like that. Hey Pico, listen. Have they ever offered you money to sell a match?
- Pico Coppens: Yes, it happened once. We were also peeing.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: And, how'd that go?
- Pico Coppens: Well, since then, that man speaks in a very high-pitched voice.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: [with very high-pitched voice] No kidding?
- [from "Omkoopschandaal"]
- Pico Coppens: [the three of them sitting at the bar counter] Pour me a gin - For once.
- Oscar Crucke: What's up then, Pico? You're letting yourself go?
- Pico Coppens: Sometimes a person needs that.
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: There's a fly in Doortje's ointment, isn't there?
- Balthazar Boma: I think I know. Pico stood in front of a closed Doortje.
- Pico Coppens: [sighs] Clever, Mr. President. Very clever.
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: What were we talking about?
- Balthazar Boma: Bieke's journey. She'll be leaving for a long time, uh?
- Pascale De Backer: It's not that long.
- Balthazar Boma: And such a long distance?
- Oscar Crucke: There are no distances anymore. I was looking on a map on my calendar this morning. Pascale said 'It's only three inches from Brussels to the United States'. That's all relative.
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: Well, give me fifteen inches of beer then. You know, 'to kick in an open Doortje'.
- [pats Pico, from "Naar Amerika"]
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: [they come to collect their ball they've kicked towards his garage, spilling a paint can on his floor] Dimitri, you didn't see a ball fly?
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: Yeah and if you wait a little longer, you'll be able to see a goalkeeper fly, you bastards. Now my shed is covered with paint.
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: Isn't that the whole point?
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: Yes, but not my floor. It won't be ready by the big fair on Monday, you know. That had to be added.
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: Well, maybe you can do the whole floor now.
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: You can help me, you know that?
- Pico Coppens: Those aren't our problems, Dimitri. You should've closed your door.
- [they are to leave]
- Dimitri De Tremmerie: Hey where do you think you're going?
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: We're going to help you, DDT.
- Pico Coppens: Sure.
- Xavier Waterslaeghers: We close the door.
