Quotes
-
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"]

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"]
-
Oscar Crucke : Tonight we'll train without a goalkeeper, which means...
Pico Coppens : No entertainment and less consumption.
[from "De Streep"]
-
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.

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"]

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.

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.
