Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe word "knalpot" is intermediate language for "uitlaat". It indicates the exhaust system of a car. Episode title refers to that as Dimitri brainstorms names for the sophistic pageant, to pit the Kampioenen against each other (translation: "Miss Muffler").
- Quotes
Dimitri: [the women fight in his dealer; he cites a letter] *Dear gentlemen of the press. I hereby invite you to the Miss* - Doortje, what are we going to call that Miss?
Doortje: Miss DDT Okay?
Dimitri: No, it must have something to do with cars. Miss Bodywork?
Doortje: That's pretty vulgar, isn't it?
Dimitri: Depends on the bodywork. Miss Head Gasket? Nah. Miss Power Distributor? Hm. Miss Hooter?
Doortje: Dimitri, please. Who wants to be in the papers as Miss Hooter? Carmen, maybe. She'd even like to be called Miss Muffler.
[Dimitri and Doortje laugh as Carmen enters]
Dimitri: Doortje?
[he coughs]
Doortje: Ah, Carmen. Can we help you with something?
Carmen: I was in the neighbourhood and I need oil for my squeaky doors. And I thought, Dimitri has that.
Dimitri: Sure, but I only have lubricating oil, you see.
Carmen: Everything that squeaks needs to be lubricated, right?
Dimitri: I'll take a look. Here, I've got you some leftovers. 50 francs?
[she frowns]
Dimitri: 30 francs.
[she smiles]
Dimitri: You can have it for free.
Carmen: Thanks, Dimitri. By the way, Dimitri, how are registrations going?
Doortje: You're not interested, are you?
Carmen: I'd like to join in for fun.
Doortje: [sarcastically] Yeah, fun we'll have.
Carmen: Why? Will *you* participate then?
Dimitri: Doortje, register Carmen.
[she doesn't do it]
Dimitri: Oh come on. 'Carmen Waterslaeghers'. Address?
Doortje: [answers in her place] Pig Lane 14.
[he writes it down]
Dimitri: There you go. And good luck.
Doortje: That'll depend on the competition, huh?
Carmen: I'm quite comfortable with that.
[Carmen leaves, Pascale arrives]
Carmen: Look who's here. Are you coming to register your daughter?
Pascale: Dimitri, Bieke's car needs repairs.
Carmen: Right, she prefers to sit in a Cadillac, doesn't she? Bye.
Doortje: Carmen, you forget your oil for your squeaky doors.
[Carmen comes back to take it, throws Dimitri a kiss, then leaves]
Dimitri: Doortje, be more kind to the candidates.
Doortje: Women like Carmen bring down the level of your competition. Eventually you can register anyone, even the grannies.
Pascale: I sign up.
[Doortje laughs at Pascale]
Dimitri: Doortje, register her. I'm glad the Crucke family is so well represented.
Pascale: What do you mean?
Dimitri: This morning Bieke put herself forward orally. Doortje, write her name down. Good luck to you two, and may the prettiest win.
[Pascale leaves the office]
Boma: Pascale. Bonjour tout le monde.
Dimitri: So my beauty pageant is only for women, you know.
Boma: This is for you.
[Boma gives Dimitri a cigar, he thanks him]
Boma: I got this from a member of the diplomatic corps. Everything's fine? And how's the pageant going? What I wanted to say. The owner of a factory as chairman of your jury. Doesn't that add class?
Dimitri: Sure, but what about the owner of a sausage factory, uh?
Boma: You need a woman connoisseur anyway. Doortje would also fall for Boma, wouldn't she petite fleur?
Doortje: If it's slippery, or from fading? Then yes.
- Crazy credits"THE ORIGINALS" message appears in a framework at the start of each intro with theme song from De nieuwe truitjes (1990) to Love Story (1993), to honor the titles with Carry Goossens (Oscar) in the lead and Walter Michiels (Pico) co-starring. This has been the case for all re-runs and DVD and Blue-ray releases since the 2010s.
