Samson & Gert – Allergy (second part)
(Gert’s house)
Mayor:
‘atchoo!’
Now I notice it too!
Dog:
Gert, how is that possible?
The mayor surely isn’t in his office now?
Gert:
That’s true!
When you were here, you didn’t sneeze either?
Mayor:
How’s it ‘atchoo’ possible?
Gert:
Maybe it’s because you were walking outside a few minutes ago and maybe you don’t
have to sneeze outside?
Dog:
But Gert, does the mayor have to work outside then?!
Gert:
We can give it a try!
Dog:
But Gert, that won’t work when it rains!
Mayor:
Then, then ‘atchoo’ I’ll take an umbrella .
‘atchoo’ let’s move!
Gert:
Ok, come on!
(barbershop Alberto)
mrs De Bolle:
Hi, Alberto!
Alberto:
Aaah, mrs Jeanine.
Do you want to speak my mother?
I’ll call her.
Miss De Bolle:
No, Never mind, I’m here for you.
I want to give you something.
Alberto:
Is that for me?
mrs Jeanine, how beautiful.
mrs De Bolle:
I’m glad you like it.
The mayor was also very glad of the pillow I gave him.
And Gert and Samson were also pleased with the painting I had made for them.
Alberto:
I’ll search a fine place to hang it.
mrs De Bolle:
But first show it to your mother!
Alberto:
Oh, Yes!
Miss De Bolle:
Then she can see how handy people craft something like that.
(Gert’s house)
Mayor:
So, I hope I’m able to work here in silence, hopefully without a sneeze.
Gert:
Yes, definitely, you didn’t sneeze either when you came to us.
Mayor:
Yes, indeed, you’re right, I think this is the best solution.
You can give me my pillow now so I can go on working.
Gert:
Yes, here you are.
Mayor:
So, now I’m sitting comfortably ‘atchoo!’.
Gert:
O my god, you’re kidding me?
Mayor:
Yes, I’m sitting comfortably!
Gert:
No, I mean, you’re sneezing again!
Mayor:
Oh yes, it’s true, how is this possible? I’m sitting outside now!
Gert:
It has something to do with the air.
Wait a second.
What could it be?
I used very strong glue to fix that little frame.
Maybe there are some substances in the glue you’re allergic to.
Mayor:
Oh,yes?
That could be true!
What do I have to ‘atchoo!’ do now?
Gert:
You should go to another place without any glue substances.
Mayor:
Oh yes, but where do I have to ‘hatsjoo’ go on working?
Gert:
Maybe you can work on Alberto’s barbershop.
Mayor:
But I can’t disturb ‘hatsjie’ mister Vermeersch, can I?
Gert:
Disturb, disturb, You won’t disturb him, he has at most two clients per week!
Wait, I’ll ask him.
Mayor:
OK, ‘‘atchoo!’
‘haatchoo!’
Dog:
Wah Gertje, the mayor is still going like ‘haatchoo!’
Gert:
Something in the air probably makes him sneeze here.
Oh no, I bet Albert doesn’t answer the phone.
Dog:
Wah, Gertje, and then what?
Gert:
If Albert doesn’t answer, we will wait a bit.
Dog:
Wah Gertje, but how long?
Gert:
I don’t know!
I’ll give it another try in later!
Dog:
Aaah.
Mayor:
‘haatchoo!’ , I can’t work this way! ‘haatchoo!’
Dog:
Wah Gertje, the mayor is still going like ‘haatchoo!’.
Gert:
I’ll phone Albert again to see if he’s at home.
Dog:
Gert, if he doesn’t answer again, what should we do then?
Gert:
If Albert isn’t at home, I’ll call mrs Jeanine and ask her if the mayor could work there!
Dog:
Aaaah yes.
Alberto:
I do like it, nah.
She’s just jealous because she hasn’t got such a beautiful hat!
Hey, I heard you! But I can’t do everything at the same time.
Hello, Alberto Vermicelli.
Gert:
Ah hey, Albert, Gert speaking.
Dog:
And me too.
Gert:
And too Samson.
I have to ask you something.
Is it possible that the mayor works in your barbershop?
Alberto:
He can’t work here now.
There is no work.
I have no clients.
The day after tomorrow someone’s coming.
Gert:
But no.
I mean that he can do his own work at your place.
Don’t worry; he brings everything along with him, his desk and his chair.
Alberto:
I don’t understand a single thing of it.
But okay, he, he can work here.
Gert:
We’ll move everything.
See ya! / bye
Thanks!
Dog:
But Gert, are we going to the house of mr Spaghetti now?
Gert:
Yes, then this is going to be our daily walk.
Okay?
Dog:
But Gert aren’t we going to the park anymore?
Gert:
Phew, do we really have to?
Dog:
Wah Gertje, Bobine goes playing there too.
Please let us go to the park?
Gert:
Well, what could I say?
Dog:
Wah, I have got an idea! Gertje I’ve got an Idea!
While you’re gone to the barbershop, I’ll do the dishes.
That’s good, isn’t it?
So then we’re going to the park?
Gert:
Well, maybe we’ll go to the park
Héhéhé, There’s plenty of time
Hey, it’s okay; you can go working in the barbershop
Mayor:
Ok, that’s very good.;
Let’s go, It’s impossible to work here.
Gert:
We’ll go through the garden.
That’s much easier.
Mayor:
Ok, let’s put the chair on the desk so we don’t have to come back to get the chair.
Gert:
Okay, good idea.
(Alberto’s barbershop)
Alberto:
Maybe here?
No, it doesn’t fit.
Ah, maybe here, ola, oh snap! Now the bird falls off.
No problem, I’ll glue it back together.
Ah here, look, with this glue you can even stick an elephant.
(Kitchen)
Dog:
Wah, I think we’ll go to the park because Gert will be very, very happy I’ ve done the
dishes because actually he doesn’t like doing the dishes.
(Alberto’s barbershop)
Gert:
Ah.
Mayor:
Can I place my desk over here?
Alberto:
Yes, that’s good.
Mayor:
Your mother doesn’t mind I’m working here?
Alberto:
I don’t know, but won’t ask her, because she’s so jealous I’ve got this cute little hat
from mrs Jeanine.
Mayor:
Oh yes, it’s true.
I have, oh damn, I’ve forgotten my pillow at your place!
Gert:
I’ll get it later.
Mayor:
Ah, that’s very good, because it’s so soft!
Alberto:
Why do you have to work in my barbershop?
Mayor:
Because in my office and at the house of Samson and Gert I had to sneeze the whole time
Hmh, Gert thinks I’ve got an aller, aller, aller, …
Gert:
Allergy!
Alberto:
Yes, that’s possible.
My uncle Robert also has to sneeze when grass is being dried.
Gert:
Yes; that’s what they call hay fever.
Mayor:
Don’t you think I have to sneeze the whole time because I’m really thirsty?
Alberto:
But now you aren’t thirsty any longer, though? Because you don’t have to sneeze any
more, do you?
Mayor:
But Vermeersch!
hahahihihoho
Alberto:
Okay, I’ll get you a drink!
Mayor:
Hehehehehe
(Kitchen)
Dog:
Voila, Now Gertje will go to the park with me, I’ve done the dishes without breaking
anyething!
Even the sink: wah, mister mayor has forgotten his pillow!
He will be very sad.
(Alberto’s barbershop)
Mayor:
Hahahahaha
That’s a very good joke, a very good joke!
Alberto:
It isn’t a joke, it really happened.
It happened to my uncle Robert in Scotland.
And another thing in Scotland!
When he stayed in a big castle there, people told him, ghosts haunted in that castle, but
my uncle Robert didn’t believe them, and at night, when it was dark, he heard
something. (whistles) And suddenly, suddenly …
Gert + mayor:
Aaaah!
Mayor:
Ooh, it’s only Samson; he has brought me my pillow.
Gert:
Ow, it’s you.
Dog:
Wha! Yes, because you forgot the pillow of mister mayor at home and so I brought it
here.
Mayor:
That’s very kind of you!
So now I can immediately start working.
Gert:
Okay, so we can go home now and let you work in silence.
Mayor:
I hope this time without ‘atchoo!’, oh no.
Gert:
But how on earth can that be!?
Mayor:
Oh, Vermeersch, in your barbershop, do you sometimes ‘atchoo!’?
Alberto:
Do you want to know if I sometimes have to sneeze here?
Mayor:
No, I mean, I want to know if you have used some glue over here?
Alberto:
Yes, a few minutes ago, because I had to repair my hat.
Mayor:
Oh then the glue caused my sneeze.
Gert:
Have you been allergic to glue before?
Mayor:
No no no, this is the first time I’ve got a sneeze.
I didn’t have it previously.
Only a very long time ago, when I was still a child when we stayed with my uncle Charel
‘atchoo!’. Because yes, my uncle’s pillows were all filled with feathers ‘atchoo!’.
Gert:
That pillow!
Mayor:
Ah yes, those quilts, they were really duvets!
Gert:
No, I mean that pillow you’re sitting on, that mrs Jeanine has given to you; it may be
filled with feathers!
Mayor:
Ah, yes, do you think so?
Gert:
Wait I’ll have a look!
Ah of course! Look at this!
Oh
Mayor:
‘atchoo!’
‘atchoo!’
Dog:
Wah Gertje! Gertje, I’ve got an idea, we could give that little painting, that mrs Praline
had made for us, to mister mayor and he could give us the pillow.
Mayor:
Ah, if you were willing to do that, it would be really friendly.
Dog:
Wha, yes Gertje, we can do that!
Wha and then I could sleep on that little pillow because I don’t have an ‘trappery’
Gert:
An ALLERGY!!!
‘Everybody laughing !’
