Quotes
-
Pico : At such an important moment I can't reach my best level. Isn't it terrible? Bieke, the things you've done to me...
Bieke : It's not my fault if you let me dispossess you of the ball.
Pico : [sighs] How is that possible?
Xavier : [recites Pico] Yeah, how is that possible? How is that possible?
Oscar : Pico, at least you're sure of your place with us. Perhaps you'd be sitting on the bench there all the time. Who knows.
Pico : I know the reason.
Xavier : Don't jump to conclusions.
Pico : Bieke has no reflexes. When you have someone opposite you with reflexes, then that person follows the feint. In the case of someone with no reflexes, your run will be broken.
Xavier : Yeah, that'll be it. And that's interesting for you, Oscar. Put an ad in the newspaper: "Looking for a player with no reflexes".
Oscar : I already have one. In goal.

Noël : In summary, that makes 200,000 francs for the club and ten percent of that goes to the player.
Pico : Only ten percent?
Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : Then we only have 180,000?
Noël : This is legal, Balthasar. Plus Raymond Van Keer as a swap.
Pico : Raymond Van Keer. Who's that?
Oscar : A missionary in Chile.

Noël : First provincial level, it was. They asked me 'Look out for a good striker', well, Pico Coppens is my man.
Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : Excellent. Transfer fee?
Noël : Later. First, let's make an agreement in principle.
Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : In *principle*, it's alright, isn't it Noël? Right, Oscar?
[Oscar looks blue, Boma pats him on the shoulder]
Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : Hey, it's fantastic, isn't it?
Oscar : That they take my best player? Yes, that's fantastic.
Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : You need to look at this from a different perspective, Oscar. Football is management.
Noël : There you go. There's a lot of money involved.
Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : They forget how much this all costs me. I've only just bought new nets. I've ordered new grass seed. I've...
Oscar : I know it's a good thing for you.
[makes money gesture]
Noël : A good coach should be able to start from scratch and then build a new team from there.
Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : Exactly, and whether Pico Coppens is such a good team player? I have my doubts about that, you know.
Oscar : [firm] He's the best.
Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : Did he let you down against the army's squad?
Oscar : 'Cause his kit wasn't...
Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : I asked you did he fail you against the army?
Oscar : Listen, family circumstances are...
Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : Did he abandon you, yes or no?
Oscar : Yes.
Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : Finally.
[Noël lays his hand on Oscar's shoulder, Oscar turns 45 degrees to look at the hand in surprise]
Noël : Of course I understand what mister Crucke means. He wants a proper replacement. Well, should we come to an agreement, I'll give him a player in exchange on top of the transfer fee. If that's not generous...
Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : Alright then. Who's your man?
Noël : Raymond Van Keer. Very sensible lad.
Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : [to Oscar] Do you know him?
Oscar : I only know one Raymond Van Keer. He's a missionary in Chile.
