Whale-watching in the Lowlands

Early morning conversation with Isabelle:

I.: Isabelle ogen open parti
(phonetically: Beje oge ope pati)
(translation: Isabelle eyes open gone)

V: Qu'est-ce que tu dis mon amour?
(phonetically: keske tu di mo amoer)
(translation: what sayst thou my love?)

I. (much louder): Parti ogen open Isabelle
(phonetically: see earlier and reshuffle)
(translation: idem.)

Long silence (while V desperately attempts to make a number of unusual but relevant neural connections)

V: Ah, tu as perdu tes binocles!
(phonetically: a tu a perdu te binokl)
(translation: Ah, you have lost your binoculars!)

I.: Jaaaaa
(phonetically: jaaaaa)
(translation: yeeeeeees)

Please take a moment to admire V's clearly psychic powers. Thank you thank you, no more flowers.
