On the long bus voyage home, Gaston starts dreaming and recalling happy beach (girl) memories, but Angele keeps nagging, wining, punching his arm and even makes an embarrassing scene. She forgets her purse with the house keys in the taxi, so they must try to break-in at home and seek help from neighbor Tuur in the pouring rain. Gaston ends up breaking his foot.

Gaston bravely bits his broken foot-pain while cleaning up the basement mess and doing some repairs with Tuur. They exchanges views and advice on (their) women, work, customers, bosses, health worries etcetera. Sneeky booze brings some comfort.

Initially unsuspecting Gaston and 'whipped' Tuur grudgingly try cleaning up the basement, which their ever-nagging wives want transformed into a sauna and other wellness room. However when Gaston's boss Karel, the banker, drops by, he proves most interested in the many empty bottles of exclusive French wine lying around. Tuur overcomes Gaston's doubts and conscience hiccups against filling them up with Tuur's home-brewed junk to sell as the expensive real deal since Karel accidentally tasted and loved it.
