And I said to him to come meet me at the station and he didn't.

And now tell us what happened...you were in the North Station and were waiting...

No, I wanted to call my parents and I forgot my documents in the station...

and he didn't let me leave and I stayed overnight at his place and then

he took me...took me to someone else at a relative of his, I don't know...

and he locked in the house.

He took my dress and another blouse I had, took my dress and

and that man...well...I...he locked me there in the house...

and I unlocked the door, dressed with what I found and I began tidying up.

And he came...he came and...and I says: "Why did you leave me here?"

And he...didn't say anything.

And he was with another one locked there.

And he jumped over the gate..and then... jumped again over the gate...

You cut them short!...No, dear, I browse when I've got some spare time...

You know what the tough thing is?

- They gave me a 500 fine. - Why?

What for? As if you didn't know!?

And I can't pay it. I'm in a tight spot!

I think you'll have to borrow from someone.

Who from?

Well, let's think about it.

I'm just before pay right now, I've got 200, I was on my way to pay the phone...

Doesn't matter, 200 is better than nothing.

I'll be trying somewhere else too, if I'm unlucky...

Yes...

Be honest and tell me if you can't, 'cause...

No, no, no...

- I do it with pleasure. - Thank you.

It's raw stock...

And a girl... a girl with some dictionaries...

Dictionaries? No... Haven't seen her.

For the show "Where Papers Go"...

In the show...

it's mandatory to be heard

the famous, in quotation marks,

I can't keep an eye on them all. I'm in the studio, at the station...

I'm at the shooting, I'm at the laboratory I can't make it anymore!

They've lost the film! They sent a raw stock reel in the laboratory...hell knows!

- Nothing like this happens in the lab! - Man, I found unexposed film in editing!

- But weren't the reels numbered? - Luta did it. Didn't you tell him to?

- Nothing like this can happen in the lab! - Sould have shouted at them, not at me!

- Ask who was the shift supervisor! - Nelu, wait, no one's saying anything!

-I'm no moron sending raw stock to the lab - Nelu, it happened, that's it.

I don't know anything. And that's all! I'm off to the hospital.

How are you, sweetheart? Let me see you also from the front...

'cause they only show you from the back on TV

- Sit down! - Only dropped in for a second.

I just have to check his travel expenses, 'cause tomorrow I'm not going to work.

They're going to Constanta. You look wonderful!

Thank you.

- And you've put on some weight. - Oh no, God forbids!

Only just what you had to.

Come on, go now!

Don't give them a finger, or they'll take the entire hand!

Have you got a pencil?

What's this?

This is my old man's treasure.

Intermediary step to the full denture.

He's gone beyond that.

Don't forget, these are for going and these the return...what are you doing?

What are your parents going to say?

They won't say anything, 'cause they won't move from the TV until the program ends.

- Stop, Nelu! - Why, why not?

- Let's talk. - What's there to talk about?

- Come, let's talk? - Why?

Do you think we can do it just like that?

- What do you mean? - Like this...it's not normal!

What isn't?

There are certain things that should be respected.

- Let's respect them. - You're offending me!

- I'm offending you? - A lot.

Why?

You've got to understand that between man and animal there are...

a lot of differences.

Are there?

Alright.

You've stolen a tooth!

Good afternoon.

Please excuse us, we'd like to interview you.

About your activity here.

Let me tell you...the pool, the pool has a capacity of 1,200 cubic meters.

All dolphins are from the Black Sea fauna.

Ricky is cleverer than Micky, though she was brought in later.

She's very sensitive to colors.

-Would you like to see a little something? - She probably likes a lot your vest.

- Yes, she likes it a lot. - Did you buy it here, in Constanta?

- What is? - Your vest?

- Do you like it? - Is it foreign? Difficult to find?

It's from a friend. I think it's bulgarian, nothing...

From Constanta?

- Who? - Your friend?

Wiat, wait!

Wait, please! I'm not interested in your vest!

What's that?

Nothing. We're talking, aren't you?

What does these wants?

Nothing. We're doing an inquiry, only five minutes...

We won't even talk about you.

- What do you want? - We were in Targoviste regarding comrade Covete Ana.

Anything to say about her?

What should I say? Why me?

I don't mess in such things!

Can you tell us where to find her?

Comrade, by at "Flora, or "Nora", ask at the reception desk.

- Isn't "Flora" where the italian tourists are staying? - I wouldn't know.

- Didn't you say look for her at "Flora"? - "Flora, "Nora", "Cora", I don't know...

I'm not patroling the sea side. Don't get me involved in such things!

- If you see me dealing on the black market... - Who does that?

I got nothing to do with the italians!

Wait a second! I don't get it! What have the italians got to do with it?

- Didn't you inquiry about "Flora"? Aren't they staying there? What do you want?

Why are you getting nervous? I don't care about no italian? I'm interested in Covete

I don't know! I've got nothing to do with her! Talk to her! I don't know!

- Costica, the mic! - I ain't holding it! - It wasn't! - No?

- What do you want? How did get in here? - Put the ten!...Easy, Flipper!

- Stop it, Nelu! We're done shooting! If the comrade minds it...

Maybe it's a misunderstanding...We were told you've known quite well this girl.

- Yes. - Could you tell us a few things?

- I wanted to marry her. - And? Why didn't you?

What do you want, comrade?

Ah, probably she was to blame.

Did I say that? I said I wanted to marry her. - Do you still see each other?

What's that to you? If it happens, we do.

Look, could you do us a favor? As a matter of fact, that's why we came here.

- What kind of favor? - I'll invite her tomorrow here...

- you talk to her... - About what? - About anything...

..about the italian, the marriage, how does she make a living, you know...

And we'll be around, and shoot from far away.

- I ain't got such a long cable! - Wait!...Agreed?

Comrade, you're the one from the television. Everyone with his job.

And what's yours?

You call this a job?...What'd the tractor driver or the factory worker say?

Everyone with his job; maybe you can do what I do... - Don't be offended...

- I'm sorry. We thought you could help us. -I don't know. Talk to the comrade manager

We'll do that, but can we count on you? What is your name?

- Sile Pricop. - Comrade Sile... when people see the camera

they behave a little strange, like you just did...

I can't approach this girl directly. What do you say?

- Can I count on you? - I don't know. Talk to the manager.

We'll do that, but can we count on you?

Who are you, in the end? How have you enetered here? Have you got any ID?

I have, of course I have.

Here you are!

Should have told me from Bucharest you had such ideas so I'd have taken long lenses.

It will work just fine, don't worry.

I don't know that. Come here!

I don't improvize, mark my words! And neither do I like his mug!

- Background only, the rest I don't care. - What interests you? - The story!

- Come on, Nelu, cut the crap! - The hell you're interested!

- Where's the gaffer? - Aren't you interested?- Meaning? - Nothing.

- I say everyone's interested. - Say it straight! - Wow, look at him!

Give me the camera!

????????????????????????

-Call Bucharest. See if the chief OK's it! - Why shouldn't he?

Because you don't do something like that in the television!

Too bad! That's why you can see only lame reports! - Make that call!

And if they don't like it, it's their problem!

I don't play, I'm a cameraman, I push the button, get it?

- But don't try this kind of things! - Come on, get real, please!

I do what you want , when you want! - Come on, Nelu, cut it!

- You just give me somthing to drink! - Comrade Stroe!

- Look at her! - Come on, stop arguing!

- Leave me alone! - They can hear you!

Who is it?

Nelu!

How did you find me, darling?!

Don't you want to go out? - Now?

- I got a lot to do...I must do the laundry...Someother time I'd love it!

Did you want to go out with me?

- How much longer will you be here? - We're leaving tomorrow at noon.

- Can't tell you how sorry I am! - Ani, who's there?

I'm so sorry!

- That's it! - Ani!

Well, then succes with your laundry.

- What do you mean? - Succes, wash everything and be...

Are you making fun of me?

You're doing Giovanni's laundry in the room...he's exploiting you...

- You could have problems... - What? Are you threatening me?

No, but I like you, so I'm warning you: take care.

Get lost, you bum!

Get lost!

Nelu! Come here!

I'll give you something you haven't eaten in a long time!

I can see her! - Wait! -I see her! - Wait, wait, wait!

- Shall I turn it on? - Get ready!

Come on, the camera's rolling!

- Focus on Sile. - Roll camera.

Hello! What vare you doing? Hello!

Hello!? What are you doing there?

Look at them! Waiting like morons!

Hello?! What are you doing?

Come here, let's put the cards on the table!

- Listen! - Cut!

Go fetch it!

- I'm not going alone! - Come on, go fetch it!

- Are you afraid of that one? - Still... - Come, go!

I'll take your gear.

It's full of sand!

It's full of sand!...What did you do?

If the guys in Bucharest find out, they're all... - What? - Fired?

How much more till we leave?

Two hours. Don't you want to stay another day? I'm begining to like it.

You've got travelling orders only until today.

I'm only asking. It's your responssability, not mine.

Don't you want me to do a little poetic piece for Sunday's family show?

I can do without your jokes, right now.

All I did was asking... you want fine, you don't fine again.

What's on your mind?

I can do something Lelouch like, if you that dog and those two on shot

The two chicks and the guy.

I can do whatever you want.

Whatever you want, anything...

Put the dog in, put the dog in!

Excuse me, excuse me! Hey, mister, move your luggage a little!

- Make way, mister! I can't go by! - And what do you want...

- You're blocking the whole corridor! - What should I do? Keep it on my head?

Put it wherever you want, what do I care? Make way!

- What are you doing here? The ticket controler is coming!

- Don't you have a ticket? - I've got one, but I'm with my brother.

- What brother? - My brother!

He's in the other car.

- How old is your brother? - 42, why?

What are you doing here?

Going back to Bucharest. I'm very sorry... It was a dumb thing to do.

- What? - With the animal trainer. - Sile? To hell with him! - Why?

I don't even want to remember him! A jerk!

You know, I usually shoot in the open, I don't do this kind of stuff...

I mean, a honest thing is a honest thing!

- That's your job, can't help it. - Didn't want you to think...

He's coming, shut up!

- You really haven't got a ticket? - Sssst

- I'll manage it. - How?

I'll manage it! I'll give him something.

Take my ticket!

Ani, take my ticket!

Stay calm, dear.

Your tickets, please!

- And the miss? - It's her ticket.

- And then how...? - I came later in the station...

- Your ID. - I got on later... - Your ID!

- Tell me how much it costs and I'll pay... - It's rather expensive.

- I'll pay whatever it takes. - It's rather expensive.

- How much? - 300. - Ok, I'll pay - Wait, wait!

- No, wait, wait! I've got money! - He'll understand us

I got money! Look, I've found another ticket!

What do you think you're doing? You ruin his business?

What was I supposed to do?

I've lked it; you think you're banker, throwing with money away!

He's Lica!

You don't look alike.

He's been missing from home for two weeks!

He ran and I found him at the the sea side.

Comrade Stroe!

Our tickets.

Merci.

You don't smoke?

Have you got a car?

- Why? - I must hospitalize Lica.

How come, working at the television and you don't have a car?

- We'll take a cab. - Bullshit! They'll rip us off!

- He's sick? - He drinks.

I must get him in for rehab.

- Is he willing? - Willing or not...if it weren't for me he'd be dead by now

He's already been there. I dress him, send him money

He obeys me.

Is he already addicted?

U don't think he is. He doesn't drink all the time.

When he was married he didn't drink.

I found him this girl, Magda. You've met her.

She was married; has a child. She's a wonderful girl.

I'm playing matchmaker!... She's a wonderful girl.

She'll marry him as he is. She's not afraid. He wants it too.

But once and again he flips off!

I think...he's afraid...he's ashamed...he runs away

I find him in Baia-Mare, Suceava...

I bring him back...

- Have you got parents? - No

Let's go to sleep.

What is it?

My scissors!

What?

I want my scissors!

- There's someone still in my room. - Yeah, sure,as if I'm a cook...

Who is she?

Kiss your hand!

I've worked at ICSIM, here, in Bucharest.

There I had some problems with the management and...I left,

I'm quite in a tight spot

I've got no family, no parents, I haven't got anyone

I wandered around...

So I can somehow...refrain myself...

I also got some small problems with my head...

I.m...I'm always anxious...

Why don't you try going back to Roman, where you're settled and where people...

..know you and respect you, maybe, and...

I was convicted and that conviction is what made me leave the town.

Yes, he forcibly got me into the car and there was nothing I could do.

But sow many hours went by! You could have gone down! He must have stopped somewhere!

Why didn't you get down?

- No... - What did you think it was going to happen?

What did you think that man would offer you?

Did you like it in the car?

They're drafting me!

There is...

...please, stop a little, I've forgotten what I was to say!

A piece of wire!

- Have you got a piece of wire! - Television? - Yes. - Good luck!

How should we begin? It's difficult...Is it on?

And do forget them if moments came, When speak was more than that they'd do...

When they could not give you As much as they'd have liked.

As much as your longing Maybe asked, in a fleeting moment's

Love, doubt in a moment's Dire despair.

Love the hands, the eyes,...

...forget their unwanted guilt, of meeting you so late!

And much too soon for ever they'll be gone.

Of guilt my soul now set free, 'Cause soo in your hands I'll...

How do you want your instant coffee? Hot or...

- Have you called Chelarescu? - He doesn't answer.

Tell him one thing:

If I must, I'll draft, but your ass is in the air! - Don't worry, we'll solve it!

Alright.

If I'd have had it my way, I'd have done it three years ago!

- Remember! You've postponed it! - No use talking, we need you!

Get rid of that gum! It's ruining your stomach!

What's with these maternal instincts!

I've got at home, and it's more than enough!

I want Bucharest, 3-5-5-1-3-8.

Hello?! Miss, Magda? Nelu speaking.

In Sibiu...

Is Ani at home?

What kind of job?

This does it!

Come down! Bita's leaving. His father has died.

What did you say?

We've been informed that yesterday evening...

How should I say it...

I can't explain it...

- You don't know how? - No.

Aren't you one? Take your case!

I don't know what you want to ask me. - How do you think they should be.

As morals, at work, industrious, what hour should he come...

- To fulfill his quota, to... - He must always be at work, from morning

until as late in the evening possible.

Tell me, what do you consider the raw model of a young...

- shop assistant should be? - He should be exemplary, in all things.

Firstly, the selling, adressing the customer, the selling...

must be of the highest level.

Especially now, in our times.

Oh my, the legs you've got! You've driven me crazy! When do you get out?

You need a medical certificate...with Lica.

And right now this drafting thing...

Four times it was postpones and I didn't want, and I now I want and they avoid me.

I'll solve it, but haven't yet where I should...

When's the board?

- What board? - The one that sent me here!

Fuck it! You write your resignation and attach the medical certificate...

you've got a sick brother, and so on, he needs care, you can't get away from home..

Come! I'll tell you on the way. Come on!

1,74 height, 62 kg...Please.

Please, I work at the television, the comrades might postpone me again.

- Where do you work? - At the television,

Which comrades?

Our comrades

Blood pressure, please

You think I don't know why you left there?

You didn't leave.

They've thrown you out.

You don't believe me?

Watch tomorrow morning the Tv, they'll run the show.

- What else have they said? - More than enough.

What have they said about me?

- Why are you laughing? - Isn't it enough?

Do you want me to tell you what was the thing with the engineer in chief?

- I'll tell you! - Yes.

For wolfram: when you bought an electric lamp, you returned one. Remember?

- When? - More years ago. - And?

And he called a meeting and told us that from then on some of us will...

break the lamps. And I stood up and asked where were we going to store them.

- What? - The lamps, we needed a lot of storage!

And what did you care? You just had to break them! - That's what they told me!

- Yes? - But they had no warehouse!

- And everything stopped. - You had to butt in1

They didn't have what to recoop! That wire was all burnt up! Untie me!

- And you thought they'd listen to you? - Let me be, with your theories!

- How could you do it? - That's it, yeah?!

And there was another thing. With an humoristic ensemble. I made fun of him.

But they pushed me to do it!

- The guy called me and told to lay off. - He called you, and that's all there is?

- Yes. - And you stayed in the factory.

Yes, 'cause I needed money, as I do now, to bring Lica from where he runs!

- Smartass! - And you fucked him for your brother!

- You're a swine! I'm going home! - Deny it!

- It isn't! Moron! - Deny it! - No, no!

Keep your voice down. They're sleeping. And the italian, and Flipper?

- Which italian? - The one with serious intentions.

- Know what? Let's see your intentions! - I heard you were getting marrieed.

- I marry who I want ! - With whom? - What's it to you?

- With whom? - With whom I want! What's it to you?

Look at yourself! Maybe you've stolen, or been to jail! Did I ask you anything?

Why are you butting in my life?

- Because I love you, bitch! - Your problem! That's it!

Listen!...Alright.

The Tv set is broken.

- And what can I do? - Go and call someone!

There's a movie with rhinoceros!

Go and call someone!

It's Sunday, there's no one I can call, let me sleep!

Call Costica, Georgica, whatever his name is!

I don't know what I should do, ma'am!

I do everything I can for him to have the best food, and he brings in God knows who

and she consumes his phosphorus!

I don't even know who her parents are? Please, step in!

Come on! I must show the room! Mrs Coacaza is here!

- Later! - No way! Mrs. Coacaza's here! Get up!

Please, step in! Please!

- Did it hurt? - Please, be a good boy!

Here's the certificate! It isn't signed, the doctor is at his car.

Come on.

I won't get Lica involved in this!

- What is it now? - I won't get him involved!

You aren't involving anyone, you're just explaining a request!

No.

Ok, dear.

- You still love her! - Whom?

Come, we've lost two hours already.

Write down a short professional .V

That means what schools you've attended, where have you worked, this kind of stuff.

Got your papers with you?

That's where you were?!

Did you hear? Cluj tomorrow, then Pitesti.

How's the army thing going? They've summoned me again at the medical check up!

We'll see when we get back. You've caught a cold, or what?

I'll tell them to draft me, 'cause I'm sick and tired of this whole story!

- My dear... Comrade Luiza bring me the papers. - All right.

My dear, I've got no time now. If you want to go, go. It's your business!

Here're the plane tickets.

I'm going ahead.

Bita hasn't come back yet. I got Rotaru.

But he doesn't know it, so you'll wait for him...

- Yes. - You wait him in the station. He's coming from Satu-Mare.

- When? - In the morning, I don't know the hour.

You wait for him, you give him the paper and that's it.

Don't let him take the recorder to the store room!

I'll wait for you at the airport, in Cluj. Is it clear?

- Clear. - If it's clear, then it's fine. Goodbye.

- Two juices. - Hey, stay in line!

Stay in line, mister!...Don't you hear, stay in line!

You've got obssessions or what?

Be patient! I'll set this up and you'll see if you like it.

- I'm afraid the board we'll come again. - What board?

This board can't force you to...to... become a...baker!

- Isn't it? Is anyone forcing you? - What if I don't like it?

Don't like what?

I didn't say I won't, but maybe I won't like it. I never did this, did I?

It's television, not bakery!

This one's going to Targoviste.

Let's go to Targoviste!

Let's go!

- Are you coming? - You're serious?

Upon your honour we're going?!

When saw you yes I did

It felt like...

It could not be!

And if I like it...

??????????????????????????

Why? - I was thinking, wardrobe girl...

You wouldn't want to be a producer?

Until I return fom the army, maybe you'l be one! - Who knows.

Let's get down!

Get down!

You haven't got a ticket!

Give me your hand! Your hand!

No, Magda, she should have got down!

In a couple of days I'm of to the army, and she mises no sleep over it!

She should have got down.

The guy from the sea side has written to her?

The one with the dolphins.

How should I know?

If she comes, tell her I'm off to Cluj.

To hell with her!

Listen. Wait, dear.

Wait a little, let me speak.

I'm going to...Timisoara...

...la Timisoara...where are we...la Cluj..

I've packed.

Has anybody called?

To hell with her!

- I was asking about Luiza. - Ah, Luiza...

Next Thursday, yes.

Next Thursday.

Goodbye.

It won't stay between us; it's a public investigation and it'll be on television,

so it won't stay between us as you've suggested.

I couldn't care less.

250g salami, here's the money.

- Some leberwurst... - See it's fresh, please!

200 g leberwurst and...what do you have?... salami...and some salami.

We know where have most of them gone.

For instance, a few have been drafted.

Our students, future graduates, must become worthy citizens,

educated in the cult of work, and for work.

So, sanctions were inforced, that should reeducate them

in the midst of their group, and if they're not part of one

Don't you think that we, those educating the young,

also have our own moral problems that...

could be dealt it with?

Yes, of course, each of us...

..and...no matter how much...

we'd try to say we're perfect, of course...

It's hard for me to say it, but, if I'm to be honest,

when I came back from the army and the wife...

..had wronged...

Rolling!

We must have time to go, not go, only for the sake of going to the theater.

- Are you a raw model? - Yes, I am a model, for me.

...For me. And for the consumers.

Do you like a specific movie genre?

I very seldom go the movie, 'cause I don't have time.

- What's your profession? - I'm a professor.

Primarily, art creates an esthetic education...

..and then an education that...

relates to some rules of behaviour...

that we can eventually find, if obssessed by such matters,

in a good manners textbook or...

- Why didn't you call? - Very funny...

They haven't approved the request.

What request?

We've asked Targoviste for references. She's got all sort of problems.

A policeman and two comrades came yesterday. She was assigned to a factory

and didn't go, or something like that.

Upon my word, comrade Stroe, I've shown all my good intentions...

I've spoken with the comrades.

She's not a serious person. Heard you're going to the army. Good luck!

Have you got any idea where I could find 2,000 lei?

Come on! Enough! Wardrobe girl, big deal! I didn't even like it here!

Is there a place you liked enough so stay there?

Yes! At Targoviste!

When did you come back?

Right away, in the evening.

The following day.

And you wait me to do the asking? What did you do there?

- I was at an aunt. - Old?

Yes...Give me a break!

I had to take her to a doctor, and to the city-hall for some documents.

Wouldn't this aunt be Flipper's mother?

- You mean you didn't see him? - No, I didn't.

Why are you lying? Didn't you get any letter?

- No, I didn't, what letter... - I saw it in your handbag when looking for papers!

- Aren't you ashamed? Searching my bag? - You saw him or not?

- No. - Or you went for the engineer?

- Cut it, or I'll slap you! - You think I'm a fool, don't you?

Well, yes! He wrote she was sick, couldn't get out of the house.

- I had to take her to some doctors! - And you, the good samaritan...

Didn't you say he was a jerk? Now you exchange letters?

Am I writing? He does. He wants to marry me. Would you? - Do what?

I'm going to the army! I might be in for 18 months! You don't care!

Maybe I do!

Then why didn't you say it?

So you wouldn't ask stupid questions, that's why!

Why didn't you say it at the station?

- Because I got in and then I had the idea - Shout when having such ideas!

Because I thought you were coming! Weren't you saying you were?

- Nelu, I really need that money! - You think that's all I'm good for? No!

- Be careful at the police! - Don't worry!

My greatest joy...

when my boy played...

..a hockey game against Dinamo Bucharest...

..from 6-2...

What do you want?

I want nothing more than a home.

And to be happy.

It isn't...how should I say it..I mean I want to be happy...

I mean I want to be an engineer and then I'll be happy and...

I was in folk dances, romanian, hungaruian and german...

Yes, but he should what he likes, not to impose on himself this or that

You look like Kempes, Lica!

I mean it's not petty stuff, but, time flies by too quickly

Don't tell me sitting on a bench with a girl, is petty stuff! - No, this isn't...

Remember,this is something won!

It's Lica, don't go!

I need money!

I need a lot of money!

I'm sorry, but father doesn't have any other teeth!

Don't start again with Constanta, lipstick, manicure...

'cause this time I'm going to beat you!

I think I'll end up in Fieni.

Fieni? What's Fieni?

There's an electric lamps factory there.

They can't hire me at "ElectroFarm". I don't have a Bucharest domicile.

What got into you?

So, 300 for Lica...

500 for me

makes 800. Wait!

400 the rent, I have to move I can't impose on them anylonger.

1,200.

Well? Where do I find 1,200?

Per month?

- What have I done? Killed my father? - Don't worry, I'm not asking it from you.

Then whom from, if I may ask?

I think I'll go to Fieni.

My brother's the problem. They must keep him under observation.

I don't even know if I can find him everything he needs, from the start.

Maybe if you take him.

Meaning?

- Until he gets a job. - What does he do?

Shop assistant.

Shop assistant?

Then what's so complicated?

- He doesn't have a Bucharest domicile. - Aha, neither does he...

Why don't you say it?

I must make one for him too. If he wants, I'll marry him.

Don't laugh at him! Be warned!

Have you a better idea? Do you want me to get married?

I'll get married. I can find 100!

Let's not get that far...

Has Flipper written anymore?

Yes.

- He's in love, damn him! - Yes.

He wants to get married?

Yes.

Be serious! He's a moron!

You were full of yourself...You were supposed to make things happen...

The hell you did! Have you done anything?

Nice! Now it's my fault, I'm due to set you for life!

- Then don't mess me up! - I have messed you up?

Aren't you ashamed?!

I'm going to the army, and little do you care!

Not even once have you mentioned it, at least formally!

You keep on whinning withthe army! Everybody does it, even Lica did it!

You want me to wait for you? Say it! Why don't you say it?

Let's drop it! What's Lica doing there?

Call him inside.

What are you doing there, Lica? Been there long?

No. One minute ago.

We were asleep. Didn't you knock?

I was finishing my cigarette.

Come inside! Why didn't you knock? Catch the key!

- Have you found "Perlan"? - Yes.

It felt like... It could not be!

Do you want to marry her?

How could I when she has so bad references?

- What references? - The girl's got bad references!

- You mean you didn't know? - How could I?

She wanted a job, and someone gave her bad references. Who knows who that was?

I don't know anything.

Should you drop dead if you do?

- Are you mad? - Just asking...

I hope you don't think...

I think it was one from Targoviste. What about going to Targoviste?

Why?

The girl's suffered an injustice, you dig for the truth, find it, senzation...

- You're not serious. - I'm very serious! Or she's not worth the trouble?

What trouble?

Luiza! Let's drop it. Get it going, or I'll be drafted and you won't be done.

Wait, Nelu! What do you want to dig out there, after all? What?

What? That someone said things about her? Or what? So what?

She's done what she's done, and now wears the stigma... - What stigma?

That she slept with the old engineer? Then there're only saints around!

My first woman had 24 years and I only 16!

The ratio is the same, but this girl liked to fool around!

How do you know it?

Come on, Nelu!

- Luiza, my love, I'm off to the infantry! - No, Nelu, don't joke!

I'm not joking, you are!

Look, Nelu, you know a lot of things about this girl. I'll destroy you!

Luiza, my dear, we must trust people!

- You've got a career ahead. Do you understand this? - And?

Do you want to destroy yourself?

Say you love me!

Please say you love me!

- Not here! - You at least say it!

- Take care of yourself! - At least you must say you love me!

- Take care of yourself! - Say you love me! - Take care!

You're horrible!

Don't fight with your superiors! The army's no joke!

Can I eat in peace or not?

I'm telling, so you don't say I didn't warn you!

- Do you want me to talk to Luiza? - About what?

To postpone it once again, dear!... Don't they think they need you?

You're someone there!

- Don't you get it I'm not postponing it anymore? - Why, dear, why?

That's why!

Better show more tact!

- Meaning? - In life it's better you show more tact.

- Alright. - Take cotton stockings.

A lot of them. I'll give you two pairs.

Mrs Ianculescu's here! Go and open!

- Hi, Lica. - Good day. - How are you?

I thought telling you. A subpoena came from the Employment Department..for Ani

- Yes. - She has to go there in 3 days.

Give...Give the paper.

- I don't know if I did good... - It's fine - Please, forgive me.

I'll go tomorrow. At this hour there's no one left there.

- Good day - Bye, Lica.

He says he ain't got but painters, gardners and mechanics.

And that's a pity she ain't got a driver's licence. Tomorrow there'll be more.

- Wait here! - Nelu!

I still haven't got Bucharest ID!

Good day!

What kind of jobs do you have?

Comrade...

- What kind of jobs do you have? - All kinds.

Get in line!

- I've asked... - Get in line, comrade!

Maybe Ii don't want to wait for nothing? Maybe I want to know what you've got?

What we have? Flowers! 'Cause the state picks you up from the street!

- Comrade, plaease, don't you... - Would you want a band? Thank you for coming

- Have we met? - Sure...I take one look at you and that's enough!

Look at him!

Here you are!

So what? Stop waving those permits! Are you makking an inquiry?

- You're from "Reflector"? - Hey, mister...

I come here like an ordinary citizen and you...

What's the matter?

- He came with this work pass and... - Comrade Onisie...

- Mister, I'm from the television. Look. - And what do you want?

- I talked nicely. I did, didn't I? - You talked nicely...

- Look at him! - Comrade, he's a little nervous...

Then he should go work in the fields, with fresh air, not on this chair, saying

- Don't mind him. What do you want? - Other jobs besides driver and gardner.

We've got.

- For what show? - For the comrade.

We've got with on-going learning, scholarship, dorm...

- She's worked before. - What job has she done?

- An electric lamps factory. - Please, comrade...

- Take a seat. - In Targoviste.

Yes. At "Electrofar". What department? Bulbs?

No. Spiralling.

- Yes. Your name, please. - Covete Ana - She has bad references...

We've gone past all that...ID, please.

I haven't got a Bucharest ID.

I'm very sorry.

Coomrade, you should go where your ID was issued.

Don't you get it we must do something about the ID?

I'm off for one and a half years, who's going to sort it out for you?

- I need no one sorting me out! - Why?

I've had it with references! That's why I left Targoviste!

Enough with references! If they needed me, they'd have wanted no references!

- Damn them with their wardrobe! - They need one like air!

- Second shift, yes. - Tonight? - Tonight, yes.

- This is Stoica from maintenance, yes? - Yes.

- Formerly at the electric lamps factory? - Yes.

- At the electric lamps factory? - Yes.

Bye.

- Has she found a house? - Not yet, but she's working on it

My boy hasn't found either.

And...greetings to mrs. doctor. The doctor you went to when she came...remember...

- When she took you - Mr. doctor...Galez

That's it! Goodbye.

Don't you know someone who might want to buy some nice embroidery work?

Embroidery work? No, I'm afraid not.

Miss, the sugar!

You can have mine, if you want. I drink it black

Merci, a lot. Why do you drink it black?

I've got low blood-pressure.

- Can I move to your table? - Don't bother, I'll come

No, no, this table moves terribly! I'll come. May I? - Of course!

- Take it. - Thanks

I've got no blood-pressure!

- Are you new around here? - No, not quite, on the contrary.

I'm 23.

- What's your name? - Nelu. - I'm Gabi.

Are you married?

No.

Neither am I!

We do match!

I came two years ago. But no I regret it.

From the mountain. I'm sorry, it was nicer there. It rained, but it was nicer...

- Where are you working now? - At the steel works. At the lab.

And today it's closed?

No, it's not, but it's my day off.

- And you? - I'm drafted, I've got a leave.

- Bullshit! - I give you my word! Don't you believe it?

- With the hair you have? - Yes. Now it's allowed.

Hair as long as this!

- I'm off in one week. - In the army? - Yes.

- Such a luck I have... - Why?

I kind of liked you...

- Seriously? - Yes. Do you mind?

- I? - Yes. - No, why...

- What are you up to here? - I got to meet a guy. - What's his name?

- You don't know him. - How does he look like? Maybe I do.

- The hell I know! - Then...He has something to give you?

- No. - You must talk?

You're a little...

- Then let's go. - Where?

To the movies, or to the museum? Where do you want? - What museum?

Don't you want to go to the movies?

That one over there, with the red car! Next to the fence!

Stoica, from the lamps...? - Yes!

If you're so slow!

He's gone!

That was the one! Now he's gone!

What's the matter?

How long will you be gone? One year and a half?

What?

Are you really going?

Didn't I tell you?

Upon your word?

Do you believe in love at first sight?

- Of course! - Upon your word?

Of course, Gabi.

I was asking like that, generally speaking...

Is there anyone to see you of?

See me of where?

At the barracks. You know how girls do...

- No, I'm afraid not. - Shall I see you off?

Of course, only...that I'm from Bucharest

..and I don't know the hour, so that I can let you know.

Don't be afraid, I won't see you off!

Why do you get angry? What's the matter?

Why are you angry?

Maybe we won't see each other again!

- Are you embarassed? - I? No.

Please, don't be mad! You're mad? - I? No. - Please don't be.

- I don't want you to be angry! - I'm not!

Glad to meet you. Maybe we'll see each other again! - Don't you come up!

- No, they'd write me down at the shelter. - We could talk a little longer...

Some other time!...Do you want to write me?

- Yes, of course. - Let me give you my address.

Do you have a pen or something?

- Have you? - No.

- Then write to me at the steel works. - It's better.

- Goodbye and I'm glad I've met you. - All the best.

- Glad meetig you! - Me too!

Hello?!

Hello?!

Hello?!

- Let's go home! - Nelu!

- What are you doing? Wait! - Let's go home!

- Wait! I've got something to do! - Let's go!

I'm awaitig for an answer!

Midia st., 13.

When the fuck will I know all of your deals?

There's no deal!

- I need money! - I said I'll find, why don't you wait?

I've had it with your deals! Enough! I need money!

- And what was he... - No to this, no to that, how much longer?

- What is he making you? A model? - He makes me nothing.

He takes some pictures.

- He takes some pictures? - Yes. For a plastig bag, or...

for a stocking commercial. He doesn't know, he had gone to ask!

He has his cut!

You deal cuts, and I go nuts making phone calls!

- When? - Last night I did? - You're lying!

I was at home!

You've got no money?

- And this hair? How much did it cost? - Stop it.

How much did it cost?

I wasn't in Craiova, I was in Targoviste.

So what?

I had a beer...with the engineer.

So what?

- He's not at all old, he's young enough! - Did I say he's old

- You did! - When?

- Don't you see how you're lying? - Know what? What am I lying?

- Nobody's going ever to change you! - Leave me alone with your theories!

- You dream it, then pretend I've said it! - You only need me for your deals!

What deals? You're nagging for lending me some money!

I'm nagging you? I'm getting down! I'm getting down! - Big deal, how kind!

It's your fault if I've left the bakery! There's girls with degrees there!

You think you're better? Look in the mirror!

- It's your fault if I've had no holiday? - Holiday from what? Fooling around?

- You've broken my nail! - Why are you hitting me?

Look at my nail!

- It doesn't pay staying! I got to make 1,000 a day! - Drive on!

- We've got such a talent missing it... - Miss what?

Here you go again?

I desperately need a holiday!

Don't you want to go instead of me?

Don't you worry...we'll fix it somehow...

You know, I always have felt something of was slipping away...

- What? - I don't know, there's something I don't get...

A few days ago I saw Lica in the Palace Square wih that guy...

Enough, Nelu, please!

Kiss me!

It's the town I live in, the town I work in.

You're young people, still you all answer with ready made sentences

heard, learned, that somehow got into your memory, from TV, or Radio.

One, two, three, four.

Don't you have your own word, your own thoughts, the intimanate ones?

Nothing's going to happen! I won't ask your name!

I don't know...I wasn't...It's an unexpected meeting...

It seems we all speak in the same way, with ready made words and...

Can I ask you a few questions?

Why? Why?

You're young and there was no time to...

No, but your thoughts aren't...are alive

- What is your profession? - I'm a theater prompter.

- You said you had a boy? - I've taught him to learn well...

to be honest, to work

When did she leave?

How do you get to Fieni?

Did she take luggage?

No, dear, she hasn't told me anything!

Nothing!

- Who is it? - It's I.

- What is it? - Step out a second.

What is it? What happened?

- I've got to go to Fieni! - To Fieni?! When? - There's a train right now, at 3.

- How come? What happened? - I've got a...thing...a family thing.

And the army, what will you do?

- You call Bucharest? - You do it! If they okay it...

- If you take it like this... - What did you expect?

- You know we are shooting tomorrow. - Don't you have Luta?

Yes, but I need two cameras! That's why I brought him here!

You can do it with one...

- I've got a problem. - If Bucharest okays it, otherwise no.

- Then you won't? - No, if you mix family matters with the production ones, no...

- You say that? What had you against that girl? - Nelu, I won't allow it!

You won't, you won't!

I'll go anyway! So what?

- I'm going to see that girl. - That's not my business.

Oh, yes it does! That's the catch! It is your business!

- And we'll have a wonderful night, a thing that never happened to you!

- I won't allow it! - What don't you allow me?

You're crossing the line!

Even more! Even more!

- I'll throw the key out of the window and stay with her for two nights! - Ok!

Wait, wait! Let me tell you more1

I'll file a complaint!

- Wait a second! - We'll get to Bucharest!

How long it stays here?

Can you give me an idea of how the perfect older persons would be?

- Perfect? - Yes. How should they be.

- Silent. - Silent? - Yes.

The young generation issue?

What could I say at my age of almost 60 one to go...

in the youn people issue, I...

Do you have an idea of how an ideal young man should look?

If I was to tell, I'd tell you how he should, buy he can't look the way I do

I think young people in our time are too spoiled.

There's too much freedom!

And it'd be good to build these things and harsher measures should be taken!

Harsher! Harsher!

Alright! Thank you.

I'm satissfied with...

..a lot of things, like having time to read a book, see a movie...

From time to time I have time to meet a girl and so on...

- She's learning a profession, attending classes, for htree months...

And the woman comrade we were talking about, Fratila Maria has she graduated?

No! She's young.

Right turn!

Fall into formation! Attention!

Tell me: How is it..how...

We can't find a bottle of mineral water in the entire town and...

..that's the only water I consume, because tap water is toxic, and it does me harm!

- What are you doing with these? - I learn English.

Haven't you had enough?

If we've got time on our hands...

Take things as they come.

- Costel's missing... - He has a woman in town

And if they catch him?

If no one rats on him, it'll be hard for them to catch him.

You go also if you've got guts.

- Hey? - What?

- Are you married? - No.

- But you've got a girlfriend, don't you? - Yes.

Where in Bucharest?

In Targoviste.

It sucks!

Nelu!

- What are you doing here? - Shut up and smell! - What's this?

Smell it!

Smells like church.

Don't worry. I know a 5 minute path.

Without bread?

You're a jerk!

How many days left?

Some 300 plus...

Nelu!

Don't worry, it'll pass! It passes anyway!

You've got orders to crawl, you crawl! That's why you're in the army!

You follow orders. But do it the decent way, with finesse, subtlety!

I swear I never thought mint could have such a powerful smell!

What big deal has that jerk of Constantinescu achieved?

He should have been punished!

Logical. And he was punished. And for what?

You want to play heroes for something any dumbass can have?

No way!

You must be a total moron!

Do you think I'll get those three days on Saturday?

- Why not? - Screwed up at shooting practice

Theoretically, anything can happen!

Let's go!

- Comrade Lieutenant! - Yes.

I'm soldier Stroe Ioan I request a leave, my mother's sick!

How are you?

- When have you come? - This morning.

You've cut your hair?

Where are you going?

Home.

- Have they given you a house? - Soon, we've rented.

Ani, will you marry me?

Why do you say this? Why now, Nelu?

I thought you had understood... I could have said any time!

I thought it was obvious.

Why, because that trainer's following you? I don't mind, I never had.

Why do say this now? I've waited for months! - I didn't know you'd want...

I told you...You could have said it...

I'm going to have a baby.

Why are you crying?

Why are you crying? Ani!

Why are you crying?

Why only now? Why have you come only now?

That's all you've got to say to me? Why have I come?

- Do you know where I'm coming from? - Have I called for you?

Have I told you I wanted to see you? Get lost! Leave me alone!

Are you afraid he'll find me here? I'llleave, don't worry.

I won't do any such stupid thing!

- Everything was set up, wasn't it? - What was?

You were writing to each other, seeing each other.

Haven't we been through this before?

- I saw him with Lica, in Palace Square. - It doesn't mean a thing!

Yes it does, a lot.

- Let us talk all three of us. We can wait.. - What more do you want? Another talk?

Please, we don't have anything to talk about! I've had enough!

Please...I need a man...a home... a chld, don't you get it?

There's no one to blame...

You are to blame!

- Don't be ridiculous! Where have I met you? - Yes, where?

You've messed me up!

- I have messed you up? - Get lost! - Wait a second...

- Who's this guy? - I don't know him!

- You know her from somewhere? - Leave me alone!
