Quotes 

• Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : Oscar, did you do the laundry?

  Oscar : [annoyed]  That would be Madam Crucke's department.

  Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : People can't read my advertising.

  Marc : [interviews Oscar for Boma's radio]  Could you say that last thing one more time?

  Oscar : [grabs microphone, yells]  That would be Madam Crucke's department!

  Marc : That's way too loud.

• Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : [cynically]  0-6. But hey, it's only halftime.

  Oscar : The fifth goal was offside.

  Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : What about those five others? Your players aren't moving, Oscar. Is that your new plan?

  Oscar : I did my best.

  Balthasar "the Ball" Boma : Listen. You're a likeable man, Oscar, but business is business. I'm very sorry, you led your last training. That's best for the club and for you. Thanks for everything you did. And try to save face in the second half, otherwise from tomorrow I can eat my sausages myself.

  [leaves locker room] 

• Oscar : [he got fired by Boma minutes earlier]  Voilà. I guess that was it.

  Pascale : Pass me my beauty case.

  Oscar : [ironically]  Do you have to leave again? Pascale, if Anderlecht calls, I'm free. They can go on without me anyway.

  Pascale : You haven't lost your job, have you? Give me my slippers.

  Oscar : Don't worry, I find work everywhere.

  Pascale : Yeah right. You know nothing but football.

  Oscar : Do you know anything other than keeping a café then?

  Pascale : No, and why do you think? I never got the chance to develop.

  Oscar : Right, so madame wants to develop?

  Pascale : Yes, I'm 42 years old and I still want to make something of my life.

  Oscar : What's holding you back?

  Pascale : [sarcastically]  Thank you for helping me pack.

  [Oscar realizes] 

  Oscar : What are you gonna do?

  Pascale : I'm leaving.

  Oscar : Huh, what?

  Pascale : Here. My house key.

  [she leaves, passing the crowded cafe] 

  Oscar : Pascaleke, begint nie. You have a husband and a daughter.

  Pascale : And you had a wife.

  Bieke : There's people here, Dad.

  Oscar : Stay out of it. This is between your mother and me. Where are you going to live? In a caravan?

  Pascale : I'll be fine! And don't follow me like that!

  Oscar : Then stand still for two minutes!

  [Pascale opens the door of the locker room, where Dimitri fixes the showers] 

  Pascale : No one will tell me what to do or not do! Not anymore!

  [Dimitri looks shocked, Pascale goes back and Oscar closes the door] 

  Oscar : Alright, then go. But don't forget your crystal ball, your Eiffel Tower, and your Tyrolean hat.

  [they enter the cafe again] 

  Pascale : Don't worry, I'll take it all. I'll finally be able to think about myself.

  Oscar : And I hope you develop well!

  Pascale : I'll look for a job and I'll start over.

  [he takes her Tyrolean hat] 

  Oscar : You know what I think? Within exactly one hour you'll be at the door again.

  Pascale : I'm not setting foot in here again. There's more to life than pouring pints and cleaning toilets.

  Oscar : [cynically]  Oh yeah? You'll see how easy it is to get a good job.

  Pascale : I'm just sorry I put up with you so long.

  Oscar : You know what's sad? That you didn't think about leaving sooner. Here you go.

  [he gives the hat, she puts it on] 

  Oscar , Pascale : [simultaneously]  Goodbye!

  [Bieke enters the kitchen from the cafe, Oscar sits down] 

  Bieke : [uneasy]  Dad, where's Mom going?

  Oscar : Your mother's to develop herself.
