"Private sale of books,
fifteen guilders."
:17:04
Dr de Gankelaar paid the fifteen guilders...
To prevent seizure of the books.
:17:10
Your honour...
:17:11
But the petitioned still has
the books, so that means...
:17:14
Your honour...
:17:15
Dr de gankelaar is a creditor for
the sum of fifteen guilders.
:17:20
I would like a brief adjournment,
your honour.
:17:23
May I?
:17:26
I'm sorry. He's right.
:17:28
I bought your books to
prevent seizure.
:17:31
I don't want that!
I'll give you the fifteen guilders.
:17:33
You don't understand. I give it
to you and the case is closed.
:17:37
I can't possibly accept it.
:17:38
Excuse me?
:17:39
Dreverhaven has won,
I should never have taken him on.
:17:42
Are you crazy? I give you
the money and it's all over.
:17:45
That's very nice,
but I can't accept.
:17:46
What?
:17:48
A debt is a debt.
:17:51
Who taught you that?
:17:55
Who taught you that
senseless self-chastisement?
:17:58
I give you the money
and you take it!
:18:00
People who can't accept a gift,
can't give either,
:18:05
Jacob Willem!
:18:10
And you have so much to give,
boy!
:18:15
I won't let them take it away
from you.
:18:22
De Gankelaar decided the case
in our favour.
:18:25
The second debt is irrelevant
and the bankruptcy is rejected.
:18:31
The loser could take
two more steps.
:18:33
He can force stroomkoning to
deduct from your salary or appeal.
:18:38
But Dreverhaven
didn't do anything.
:18:42
He didn't really want me
bankrupt either.
:18:44
He just wanted to show
who was in charge...
:18:47
What?
:18:56
Three months later
I took my exams.
