The Plumber

Hurry up, Mr plumber!

Fast plumbing, careful work

Toilets, please?

How kind it is to come so fast You're a real DARLING

What a tool..! Come quick!

An hour later

Good heavens! My husband!

An hour later

Excuse me, it's about my bill

Hey, what about me?

How sweet you are, how sweet it is

You know so many things....

More, more!

Oh yes!

More, more...

One hour later

Love of my life!

Take me to the end of the world

Without money, we won't make it

Plumber, what a job!

When you want something done, do it yourself

We're rich!

Who cares about catching the pox, as long as you can make love

And now, a piece of social realism

Amsterdam, city of beauty and delight

But for some, it is a dull city

Just take a look at George for instance

He is killing himself inch by inch on a boring and unrewarding work

When the work day is over, loneliness comes again

One day, as he had just left the workshop,

he saw Marsha

What a smile ! George couldn't believe it

he wanted to speak to her

"A.....a....a herring please" he mumbled

Such beautiful hands

That's the kind of girl I have always dreamt of

he had fallen so strongly in love

He gathered all his courage to speak to her,

but he couldn't

Powerless and bitter, he got back to his small room

and to his loneliness

If only I had enough guts to speak to her, he thought

Shit! I'd better forget her

You'd better watch around yourself.

What a mess!

If only... Well, no use to feel remorse...

She surely has plenty of friends

Why would she care about me?

Stop it! Forget her...forget her...

Don't think anymore of her...

But he couldn't get her out of his mind

Meanwhile,

Marsha closed her shop and went home

Alone...

Aaargh... those 4 walls, I can't stand them anymore

I am gonna change clothes and go out

No... fact is I don't really want to go out...

I am gonna brush my teeth and go to bed

This boy...the way he looked at me

He liked me, I am positive

Oh, so what? Better forget him

But she couldn't get him out of her mind

The day after, George couldn't stay calm

He would have wanted to see that girl again

but he hadn't the guts

And then, all of a sudden, during lunch break

he made a strong resolution

he left his workshop and ran his way to Marsha's place

This time, I will speak to her, he said to himself

But she wasn't there

"I lost her", he thought

There is so many people in this town

I won't find her again

he wandered for hours, his heart broken

He couldn't accept that fate can be so cruel

He was so distraught with grief and despair

he didn't know what to do

when suddenly he stumbled

"But... but... it's you", he said

Marsha, she said

Marsha Marsha, I love you

Oh, I have been looking for you everywhere, I was getting hopeless

but now you're here with me and life is so wonderful

By the way, my name is George

Yes George, she said...

Life is wonderful now that we're together

And then they were very happy

Yes... very happy

All of a sudden, George started to hear sounds

"What is this message?" he thought

"What's happening?" Marsha asked

But it was too late

A second later, all had gone different

There was a light, there was truth, there was a meaning

"You must not tarnish this girl" said the voice in his head

Now that you've transcended human misery,

you can see divine truth of the universe

Yes said George, yes yes...

Follow me...and commit no more sin...

And so, love has triumphed over misfortunes

and the story of loneliness ended up in happiness

Some strange people come here to find eternity

I always tell them

"Love one another"

What is good with my work,

it's that if I am bad, I don't care

3 years ago,

van Der Riout told me that one day

during an international psychoanalysts' congress

that took place in Amsterdam

they ended up discussing the reason why

each of the congressmen finally felt like

sucking his own sex

back then I found that obscene

Where are all those dummy sinners

Father, your stockings are falling

What are you waiting for? Lift them up

Do it well

Arrange them so that they won't go down within tonight

Can I now?

Father, am I allowed?

I think somebody is coming to see us

I can perceive the sparkling of a light through the fence

Why didn't he let this girl kiss him?

If only it was me...

You're going to get prepared and go downstairs to take the collection

What's the use of it?

You should go downstairs and welcome our friends

I hate them!

Everybody's there?

Everybody's there?

Father... Good evening...

They have ALL come!

Nice evening!

Yes, let's see what I have to tell

In our last meeting, I was wearing

a ruby I am deeply attached to

I wore it there...

Hmmmm...hmmmmm...

You got it thanks to the last collection we took

Yes

It was a splendid evening

Grand Pa John went mad, one went upside down and the other went mad...

We'll spend this evening in destroying

the mysticism that comes with Moses

If I have drunk a bit too much,

it's to be able to to get on Moses's nerves without complexes

Moses? Why Moses?

Tell us everything about him. Tell us why father

Why do you tell us the story of Moses?

Moses ordered that all new born babies, whatever species,

who are swarming on our planet like...

be all killed

What is sure is that Moses is the only author of the 10 commandments

Yes, he may be

Let's pray the Lord! Let's pray the Lord!

Silence! Wait!

First, I want to complete my story

I want you to listen to the end of my story

And without explanations, Moses...

Get down, get down! I want you to come here and explain!

We all know that it's him and him alone who wrote "Thou shalt not steal"

It is obvious that

if there was no such commandment

the one who sole my ruby would be innocent

The only responsible one for me is Moses

He alone

He died before he learnt to know us

And....he died before he could modify his commandments

That's exhausting...

"Thou shalt not commit adultery"

What good is it to us? What's the interest for us?

Not to commit adultery? Do you know it?

Homo sapiens hyprocritus

He pisses me off!

Go on, my children

Repent yourself...Deum....Lord

I was sad and soulless, I was a sinner, Father

I wanted to tell you how grateful I am

Thank God ! Lord...

Give it to me! Give it to me!

Wait! I still have plenty of things to reveal to you

Listen! I still have plenty of things to...

Stop! I still have plenty of things to tell you

Stop! Listen to me!

Father, am I allowed?

I still have something to...

Father, am I allowed?

yes, yes you are...

Listen, I still have something to tell...

Bless God

Father, am I allowed?

Yes, sweetheart

Listen, listen to what I have to say...

Enough!!
