How very apt the last few sentences are in this snippet from a most excellent movie. I rather fancy the likes of The Greens have ideas as old as the windmills mentioned here, save the replacement of the word turbine for the word mills no doubt 1

@argumenteren Dutch, to tell by the writing, would sound very complicated, though it goes quite smooth :-)

@vivat78 Is A Watery death. You can't find this part of the xong on the priginal soundtrack but it is there in the composer's cut re recording

@argumenteren - he has quite a Dutch facial phenotype to make up for it, however.

I'll dig my Draughtsman's Contract CD out and have a look see if it's on there.

@argumenteren .

I've been wondering what he said since I first saw this film broadcast by Channel 4. Thanks.

It seems to be a variation of Chasing Sheep.

Does anyone know the music that plays during this scene?

argumenteren -- you are the man.

Your translation was much appreciated.

Mr. Van Hoyten:

"Mr. Neville probably helped with the creation of an usefull example, madam. His paintings might be of great importance for you and for the successors of (Compton) Angstey. Even though it's just to give an idea of, in an atheistic way, the problem of a good garden."
