Chateau Meiland: the naklets
How goooood, Martien is back from being away and how happy we are that he is back. Last night I briefly put Netflix aside and tuned in precisely at 8:30 PM to SBS 6. Yes, there he was, our spirit animal in the doorway of his chateau, the man who can conjure the most facial expressions in a fraction of a second and invents the craziest words that leave you speechless. The first episode of the second season of Chateau Meiland is over, and that deserves a big fat aftertalk if you ask us. Why? Here’s why:
Martien: ‘It’s 11:25 AM and we’re having coffee instead of wine. What is this?’ Maxime: ‘No idea, dad, I’m feeling really nauseous about it.’
Martien: ‘That child will find its way back, and if not, then she will scream. OH DE FRAAR, I need to continue.’
– ’OH DE FRAAR’. As in: au revoir, HA HA, piece.
– ‘You know, I'm just making breakfast again while I have evening duty, PFFFF.’
Erica: ‘These cups are too small for coffee.’ Martien: ‘I said it right away but especially didn’t listen, huh. Look now, how annoying, now you have coffee leakage everywhere. No way, and why don’t you put those cups on a tray? Now it’s going to spill all over.’ ‘Spill?’ ‘Yes, completely spilling over the cup.’
- Martien: ‘The guests feel sorry for me that I don’t have a driver’s license. Then I say: hello, I do have my driver’s license. But why would I drive? I find sitting and looking outside a much more enjoyable combination.’
– Hello, bonjour-eh. Why is that ‘eh’ always stuck behind Martien's ‘bonjour’? No idea, but I think it sounds incredibly cozy.
– Oh, and just give Martien a shovel and you’ll never stop laughing.
– Martien: ‘A dry ground with stones. What am I getting into, you think. I just want to get this plant in the ground. But once you can give the plants water, you suddenly think: hey, this is actually a really nice spot.’
– The red swimming trunks. Has anyone seen Martien in a different pair of pants in the past few days? Girlfriend Carolien has at least coordinated her dress with him, which is nice.
– By the way, has anyone seen Bommel? Or is he eating Petra Post?
– Oh, and then you have Martien and Carolien who are lost and getting help from a local. ‘Of course, he will want money for the ride later. We have to walk quite a bit behind him. I’m really not going to give any money. Straight ahead? Okay, thanks, OH DE FRAAR,’ said Martien.
– *advertisement* And just call 0909-0325, you really want to win that stay.
Eyebrow evening, I mean: how genius is this again? : 'No, a coin, Montana. This is really a clear coin here, you can see that. I can never get that wallpaper without veins and folds in that coin here. Coin means corner in French, dear Montana.' 'Say that to me, le père.': ‘We always have eyebrow evening twice a year. In this climate, they get really light and after such an eyebrow evening, I always feel much better.’
Carolien: ‘You can’t go to the guests with that eyebrow dye on?’ : 'No, a coin, Montana. This is really a clear coin here, you can see that. I can never get that wallpaper without veins and folds in that coin here. Coin means corner in French, dear Montana.' 'Say that to me, le père.': ‘What does that matter, my private life just continues in France, you know.’
