De wachtkamer

Jos Stelling

Gène Bervoets, Bianca Koedam

A large train station, it might be anywhere in a big city. Waiting passengers, some are curiously observing each other, some are too much involved with their own petty problems to pay attention to anything else. Our man, self- assured, practically undresses some of the woman present with his eyes, at least as long as his wife is absent, trying to get them some coffee. A beauty in blue returns his challenging looks, he can hardly believe it's true. Obviously, it is his lucky day today. By the time his wife returns our man has experienced some astonishing things under the watchful eyes of the fellow passengers. And most probably he will be much more reserved next time he sees a beautiful blonde.

Gène Bervoets

Дожидаясь, пока закончится презентация нижнего белья около красочной витрины магазина, герой наслаждается крутящейся экспозицией замысловатых узоров нежного шелка и женских форм из пластмассы. Всем своим видом демонстрируя недовольство жене, он замечает сексапильную блондинку и пытается поймать ее ответный взгляд. Заметив его, девушка начинает вести себя более чем странно, не обращая внимания на посетителей торгового центра. Горячее приключение, прошедшее под пристальным взглядом зевак, снова оставит нашего озабоченного своей мужественностью героя в дураках.

Take the boredom of the slow lane, add the spice of one-upmanship, top it off with a delightful girl-boy butting match, and what?s missing? A layover at the next gas station.
