(Russian) What grade ?

(Russian) Put your mom on.

(Romanian) Hi !What's up ?

What's his problem ?

Tell him if he doesn't study he won't get that bike !

Just tell him!

And tell mom to stop calling me for all that crap !

Dunno, what washing machine?

I don't know when I'll be back.

Yeah, it's okay.

If you need anything, let me know.

Send me a text or something.

What ?

Yeah.

Okay, bye.

Lady ?

You asked for a court order!

There you have it!

- I want my money ! - Are you crazy?

Don't you understand I won't give you a dime ?!

Read this. It says here I'm the owner.

I want my money !

Good evening !

There are five others who claim to own this building !

I have a registered contract, and that's what I'm paying.

Understood ?

- And stop trying to pick me up ! - Pick you up ?

You're so used to that, dear ! Think I don't know where you're going ?

- What you're up to over there ? - What do you know?

You know nothing ! You're nuts !

If you ever set foot in here again, you're for it !

You hear me?

You hear that?

Hi Magda. Sorry to bother you. Is dad there ?

- You wanna talk to him? - If it's not too much trouble...

- Just a sec. - Sure.

- Hi, daddy ! - How's my gorgeous girl ?

- I'm okay. - How are you, princess ?

What's this bullshit?

Who's this Pandele guy?

And that stupid Maria '? What does she want from me ?

This is all your mother's fault.

You believe all her crap about her stupid shitty Italians !

Can't you see what's going on there ?

They think we're all gypsies, murderers, thieves or what not !

Don't you watch the news at all ?

Romanians are beaten up in the street by organized gangs there.

Didn't you see that Mussolini whore who wants to see us all dead?

Or that shitbag mayor of Verona

who declared his town free of Romanians '?

I saw all that, daddy, but they're not all like that.

Yeah ? Well it only takes one crazy Italian to kill you,

not all of them.

But I want to change things.

You do ?

Wait. What do you mean ?

I want to change their perception of us.

They shouldn't believe all Romanians are...

Have you lost your mind ?

Magda, I need a glass of water, I'm going to faint.

Sweetheart, do you want to kill me?

Your whole life, you came to me with nothing but problems.

You and your mother do it on purpose.

You want to kill me!

And now what do you want me to do?

Wait everyday for them to call me

to come and identify my daughters corpse ?

Or to pick you up off the streets ?!

Is that what you want?

Magda, what does he want?

He can't turn on the computer game.

Mom !

Is your mother going with you '?

No!

Why won't you take her along ?

She has no business being there.

And if you go, where will she live ?

I don't know, I guess with you guys.

- Good evening. - Fran !

How's my girl ?

She wants to go hooking in Italy.

Italy, huh ?

Those spaghetti assholes used to come here to lay our girls,

but at least they'd pay for a trip to the seaside.

Now, it's the other way around. You go directly to them.

That's why they let us in the E.U.,

to enslave us and screw our women.

Like the Turks used to do. I've said it before, you know.

We're a nation of women

and the Italians are men: bulls.

Just cut the crap !

Come on, you have to know this stuff.

Go into the living room.

The Freemasons!

Our only chance is Freemasonry!

Yeah, teach us how to make it in life now you're living off my money !

Nelu, where you're picking up splinters, I used to chop down forests.

Come on, now, you're talking crazy. Give us a break.

Listen to me. Nelu, let me say this.

Don't believe a word... about them being "Latin lovers”...

Dad, let's go.

Leave me alone. Don't believe that Latin lover thing...

It's all bullshit!

- Come, you'll miss the cartoons ! - Let me take care of it, Nelu.

- You're kicking me out? - Let's go, dad, cut it out!

- God ! - They have stuff to talk about.

Dad, I know it's hard to believe, but I feel I can do this.

You feel ?

- Yeah. - What ?

Open a Romanian kindergarten there.

What's that '?

- You're gonna do what? - Let me explain.

I want to take this job for a few months,

and then I'll try to raise funds

to open a kindergarten for Romanian children.

- I made some cookies. - Thanks !

Can you give us a minute?

Dad, I want to open a Romanian kindergarten.

There are over one million Romanians there.

Listen !

Got any plans for the Albanians?

There's a whole bunch of them there, too.

Dad, I'm serious here, and you're making fun of me.

Do you know how much money I can make out of this?

If I tell you, you won't believe me.

I've made a little business plan.

You did what ?

I did the math, to the last penny.

- Really ?! - ...Euro.

Like that one time when you "helped" me lose 52 grand...

5200 euros !

Come on, dad, it wasn't that much.

And you know that wasn't my fault !

No, now I know this guy who does this.

- He builds kindergartens. - Really ?

Then why did you start with that bullshit earlier ?

What do you mean ?

Fran, you came at a very bad time.

You're going to need money, and I...

Dad, I don't need any money.

If you let me go, I promise I won't...

Let you go... you're 30, Fran ! That's it !

Yeah, but your word matters to me.

Come on, let's go !

Fran, I don't want him coming along !

Cut it out...

- Think what to ask. - Does anyone know this guy?

Are you deaf or dumb '? My mom knows him.

I wasn't talking to you ! Okay ?

- Which one is he? - The one with the beard.

Really ? Always had a problem with bearded guys !

- Hi. - Hello.

- This is Francesca. - Hello.

- And our friend, Emanuel. - Emanuel.

Okay, so.

The job is in

- Rimini. - Rimini?

Relax, I'll give you all the details when you bring me the money.

Ri... no.

This one wants a 55 year old woman.

So, the job is near Milan,

in Santangelo Lodinese.

Santangelo Lo...

- Santangelo Lodinese. - Santangelo Lodinese.

Yeah.

So, food, lodging, and 900 euros per month.

You have to tend to an 84 year old

with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's or whatever.

He's brain-dead. Classic !

By Friday you bring me two grand to give to the agency.

Monday at the latest, you're off. You start work Tuesday.

No children or parents.

Any questions ?

Can I let you know by Friday?

What ?

I'll make up my mind by Friday.

I thought you were serious !

She's not decided ?

Oh, no, no, no.

She's not sure ?

I did this for your mother.

Are you pulling my leg here?

No, but I didn't...

No what ?

Do you know how hard it is to get a job there

because of the gypsy issue ?

And you want to think it over!

Don't worry, even if I change my mind you'll have the money by Friday.

The money isn't for me, it's for the agency.

Sure, for the agency...

Listen. Is there a prostitution problem in Italy?

What did you say '?

Isn't prostitution a problem there ?

She wants to do prostitution too ?

Oh, no, no, no.

Keep it down !

He was asking if there are any dangers where I'm going !

I can't promise anything, it's not my family.

One thing you must know

is that only whores turn to whoring.

But even if the girls are good,

they still might get raped once or twice...

Okay, that has happened, but they can always leave, can't they?

No one's keeping them, right?

Can I have a peach juice ?

- Water. - And you ?

Me too. Still water.

Anyway... I have an image to protect.

- You do ? - Yes, and I don't do stuff like that.

I could get burnt.

If you don't mind my asking, what is exactly your job ?

- Mine? - Yes.

I am a migrant work force expert

within the European Community.

And what's your job ?

I'm a fashion expert.

You're quite a lady, aren't you.

Mr. Pandele is well respected, mom's worked for him for 6 years.

Your mom does a great job. It's her strongpoint.

You know she's in Poiana with some of my colleagues ?

Yes.

So, Maria...

Bring me the money Friday.

- Bye. - Bye. Thank you.

Goodbye.

What's the place called ? Santangelo Lo...

- Lodinese. - Lodinese.

How do you spell it?

As pronounced.

Hi.

- What are you doing ? - Waiting for you.

- Mita, what's up dude? - Hello, hello.

Man, I missed you so much ! Hold on to this, Freza.

We have something to talk about.

Come closer, or everyone will see.

Come on. Here.

Cut it out ! Codrin !

Mita, were you gonna feed me to Remulus ?

No, not true. I'll pay him back in a week.

- What week ? - One week !

- What week ? Huh ? - Codrin, come on !

You bought a car? And you can't pay back your debt?

You ride in a BMW 325 and your wife takes the fuckin' bus.

How long have we been waitin' for him?

- For three whole fucking days. - So, what do we do about this ?

Hold on, come here !

Come here ! You fucking asshole !

Bitch, I'll fuckin' tear your insides apart, shithead.

Come on, Freza !

You walk like a woman ! I'm gonna ass-fuck you !

You got the wrong car?

Fucking shit !

This dickhead really gets to me !

Watch the car, we're gonna need it.

- Is that you ? - Yes, mom.

How was it ?

- Did you meet with that guy ? - Yes.

How did it go?

Fine...

I have to give him 2000 by Friday, like Maria said.

And...

I have to be there by Tuesday.

Where ?

Somewhere near Milan.

Santangelo Lodinese, or something.

- I can't believe it, Milan ? - Yes.

Unbelievable.

What's so unbelievable ?

- You're gonna call me crazy again. - What?

Well, it was in your cards.

Listen to me, this is your ticket out of here !

Help me out.

- I iixed the white ones too. - Okay.

Don't make the same mistake I made 30 years ago.

Go, honey, go !

Wait, mom, it's not that easy.

I have so many things to work out.

-Mita! -Yes!

Mita !

Yes, boss ?

Where have you been ?

Stop it, you'll make me smudge it !

I finally found something serious, near Milan.

Mom !

Tum that music down !

What ?

A nursing job.

Taking care of an old man.

Board, lodging and 900 euros a month.

I have to leave on Monday.

- This coming Monday? - Yeah.

Are they serious people ?

Falling asleep on me?

Are they good people ?

How should I know?

I'll find out when I get there.

Where ?

Papua New Guinea, Mita !

Aren't you listening to me ? Near Milan.

Who arranged this? Maria ?

What difference does it make ?

Better tell me what you think about this.

Huh?

You have to leave this Monday?

Yes.

Well, I think you should go for it.

Seriously ?

You're letting me go so easily?

How long have we been talking about this '?

Right, but talking's one thing... Doing it's different.

Wanna get rid of me?

Are you crazy ?

You're coming, too, right?

Sure !

I'll be there in a month.

That long ?

I have to finish this deal I'm working on.

What deal ?

That one with the mattresses ?

Yeah, that one.

Didn't you say it'd be over by Easter?

Business is business,

sometimes it can take longer than planned.

How much ?

2000 euros.

When do you need the money?

I'll see if I can get it in time.

Friday, but that's not an issue. I already have it.

The towel ! it's wet, pick it up.

Why won't you answer your phone ?

Hello ?! I'm talking to you !

- When did you call me ? - Earlier.

Maybe there was no signal.

What? There's no signal every afternoon ?

Or maybe you had some lady over

who doesn't like being disturbed.

Yeah...

What ?

Did you say yes ? I'll knock your block off!

Tell them to get in line, you've got unfinished business here.

- Still got debts? - No.

- Are you sure? - Very sure.

I have to go tell my dad.

I can hear him now.

Listen.

Can you send your mom to play cards at a neighbor's tomorrow?

Why should I ?

- I wanna teach you some new tricks. - Oh !

I can't believe my ears !

Mom !

Did you take my hair straightener?

I'm going !

Leaf spinach ?

Yeah.

A common trade, 13 letters.

Got no letters.

What sort of trade ?

Common.

Hello. Can I bother you for a sec ?

Yes, Italy is really dangerous.

I hear they kidnap Romanians off the street,

cut them open and take their organs.

Then they're released and don't remember a thing.

- That's all fabrication, ma'am. - No, it's true.

They say we have the best organs in Europe.

I still say this is all rumors, ever since that horrible murder.

The one with the gypsies in Rome.

I think they're perfectly capable of that.

I have an Italian neighbor. Two, actually.

One's from Milan and the ether's from Verona.

You know what?

They both have this look...

Kind of... weird. I think they'd do it.

Ma'am, can you please help me with my problem '?

- Fran ! - Yeah.

Will you close that door, please?

Yeah, sure.

Honey, for you, anything.

Give 15 days' notice...

Yes...

And then get a doctor's note.

But make sure no one here knows you're already gone.

I could get in trouble.

No. Only the girls know, but I trust them.

- So, is it possible ? - Yes.

Thanks very much.

Here's a little present for you.

- Oh, no ! - No, no, please.

It's natural silk.

Peach, it's all the rage.

When was the last time you two spoke ?

With whom '? Him ?

Wait, I've another call.

Hi Fairy, how are you ?

What's wrong '?

Wait.

Mrs. Nuti, could you keep it down, please !

If I come over, will you open the door?

I don't get it! Does he like men or women ?

I can't live in this freakin' ambiguity.

I have a house full of cockroaches.

- Where do you have roaches? - Everywhere.

Wait till you see our place...

Mom is trying to exorcize them.

Really ! Insecticide doesn't work anymore.

I'm not kidding.

On top of that you're leaving, too.

Don't do this anymore !

What if the doctors won't be able to save you next time '?

- So what ? - Relax.

He wasn't trying to kill himself. He just wanted to make a scene.

Bitch, don't lie !

The doctors told me, okay ?

- What's that ? - 500 euros.

All my savings.

- What d'you want me to do with it? - You'll need it there.

No, please. I can't take it.

Come on, Fran ! Stop it...

- Till you start making money there. - No, please...

Fran, if you don't take it I'll swallow a bunch of pills again.

Listen, Fairy, in the autumn I'll go too.

You can leave now, for all I care. Leave that melon and...

Okay. Thanks.

On one condition.

I'll buy you some clothes and send them to you.

To me?

No way, you dress like an old lady.

What do you mean ?

What's wrong with this dress ?

- Isn't it pretty ? - Oh, yes, yes it is. Very nice.

You look like Red Riding Hood's sister!

What's wrong with it?

Did you steal it from your mom's closet?

Hey, gorgeous ! Are you picking on me?

You're lucky you're pretty!

Feeling better now ? 3 minutes ago, you were sick.

Yes, I'm sick. In fact I'm very, very sick.

- I was just kidding. - I wasn't.

Me neither.

- Any melon left? - Yes, it's in the kitchen.

- Want anything? - No.

Seriously, now, I want to leave next fall.

Good luck.

On vacation.

Hello, Mihai Truica?

Next door on the left... Thanks !

- Hi. - What the fuck are you doing here '?

Didn't I tell you not to come look for me at work ?

- What's up Mihai? - What's happening ?

Everything's all right.

As soon as the ownership deeds are out, you're settled !

Out from where? I think you're fucking me over.

Keep your voice down !

Not so loud.

- Are you crazy or what ? - What do you mean ?

- What's up ? - Are you stupid ?

Why '?

The fucking collectors are after me !

If anything happens I'll kick up a stink.

Press, TV, the works !

Mr. Mihai !

What ? I'll be there in a second !

Cut it out with this shit! Calm down.

Everything is almost ready.

The Council's order is out. Everything.

It was a bit tricky. You know the papers are phony !

But I did everything !

Birth certificate, death certificate...

Deed of ownership. Looks like the real shit.

You're King Carol's heir.

Fuck me ! You don't even know when he was born...

Wait.

- Ma'am ! Is there a problem? - Hello, yes.

I have a request of retrocession. I want to file it under law 10.

Well, it's been canceled. You're a bit late.

Right, but I just found out I inherited some land.

- Where's the site ? - Downtown, sector 3.

- That's my jurisdiction ! - Really ?

- Come into my office. - Thank you.

I'll be right back. Just a second.

Take a seat.

- Still banging that teacher? - Shut the fuck up !

Think I'm in the mood for your crap?

- What's wrong '? - I can't take anymore !

The guys I borrowed from keep raising the interest.

- And now they want to fuck me, too. - Lucky you !

C'mon, one more week ! That woman's waiting for me.

Try to stall them...

Where's this one going ?

Come on...

- Shit, you do one after the other. - We've got to live too !

Come on, she's waiting for me !

Please, let me get you a pillow for your back...

It's the springs,

the furniture's old.

Coffee ? Yes ?

- Sweet? Black? - Sweet

- Sugar or sweetener? - Sugar.

I use sweetener. Some say it's healthier.

- A cigarette ? - No thanks. I don't smoke.

What does your husband call you ? Ani ? Ana '?

Ana.

Ana suits you very well.

- Known Mita long ? - Yeah, we're very good friends.

- He's a wonderful boy ! - Yeah, a great guy !

I'll make the coffee. I think my daughter just got home.

Francesca ?

Hi, honey. Mr... Remulus is here.

- Who's Mr. Remulus ? - One of Mita's friends.

He said they had an appointment.

I got your stuff from the tailor.

Thanks, sweetie.

- Hello! - Mr. Remulus.

I'm Francesca, Mita's girlfriend !

And I'm a friend of his. Nice to meet you.

Same here. Can I help you ?

Mita won't get here till 10 or 11.

No, its nothing important. Just thought I'd find him here.

Can I get you anything?

Mrs. Ana just offered me coffee.

Yes, of course. Mom !

I'll be right in.

- Excuse me. - Sure.

Mom, serve the coffee. What does he want?

He didn't say much,

you ask him and see what he tells you.

We'll talk afterwards, okay?

- Your coffee ! - Thank you.

Enjoy it.

You have a very... historical name.

- Sweetie ? - Yes, mom.

I'm going to buy cigarettes before the shop closes.

I'll tell Mita you're here.

I don't think his phone is working, I tried him earlier too.

Yes, that really annoys me. it's always off.

The man is busy.

He doesn't want to be disturbed.

Yes...

Nice place you have here.

Are these originals ?

Which ones ?

These.

Oh, I really don't know.

No, he's not answering.

Is that him?

No, that's the neighbors' doorbell.

How long have you two been together?

Quite a while.

When I was younger, I had a girlfriend who looked like you.

That's nice.

And we made love everywhere.

Really?

I mean all over the place.

I'm a wild one, myself.

Is there anything I can tell Mita?

Never mind Mita.

I like animalistic sex.

Well, I'll pass that on to Mita !

You don't have to.

I mean, if you want to, go ahead.

Okay, so what do I tell him ?

- What, am I leaving ? - Yes, I'll see you out.

What about the coffee ?

Oh, please excuse me !

- No worries... - No, no ! Please !

No worries, I'll drop by some other time.

- What's his name? Mita? - No, Marco.

I like beautiful lionesses like you.

- Okay, bye. - Bye.

And a rag !

You know what?

I don't want to hear about him anymore either.

Wait.

Mom, it's been like a hundred years since you last saw him.

I doubt he's still alive.

- He's alive - Really? How do you know?

Jeni told me.

Mom, I think this Jeni has ruined your life. Honestly.

That's not true. I don't believe all she says.

Give me the rag !

Come on, Mita will be here soon for a romantic night !

If you go sweetie, we should be prepared !

- What do you mean ? - I've cashed out all the money.

- Mom... - Tomorrow it'd be a rush !

Count it yourself: 2600.

But I'll send you some more.

Don't. I'll have all I need when I get there.

If I leave !

Fine.

Go on, mom. Jeni's waiting.

- Bye. - Bye, sweetheart.

- Hi, babe ! How's it going ? - Okay.

Watch out, I've been studying Caligula !

See '? This is what's wrong with you.

Instead of trying something that's simple and easy,

you get into complicated stuff.

...and then can't deliver.

- You scared me! - I did?

Come here and let me really scare you !

I'll terrify you !

- I can't deliver, huh? - Wait a sec!

- Wait a sec, huh ? - Wait a sec.

I'll show you...

- I don't want to be a duckling. - Why not ?

I think ducks are stupid...

Didn't you used to like them ?

- I want to be a kitty cat. - What if I don't want to be a tom?

- You can stay a duck. -Yeah ?

You ever seen a duck fucking a cat?

- There, you see? - See what?

You make everything seem vulgar.

I do?

Want a tom cat?

You want a tom cat, right?

I'll show you a tom cat.

I'll show you a tom cat.

Don't drop my panties on the floor !

Pick them up !

A tom cat. Right?

If tom cat doesn't do a good job...

His friends might be interested...

- Is that so? - Yup.

Who ?

That Remus guy. Your friend.

Who ?

How do you know Remulus?

He stopped by earlier today.

- What did he say? - Nothing.

Just that he was looking for you, wanted to talk to you.

And that he'll stop by again.

But I think he kinda likes me 'cos he was staring at me.

That's it?

What else ?

He said he tried to call you too,

but couldn't ind you either.

What ?

I couldn't reach you myself.

Your phone's always off.

Anything else?

Nothing.

He looked a little gypsy, this Remulus.

Are you two close ?

Kind of.

Whatever... some strange friends you've got.

He's no friend,just an acquaintance.

Fran, I don't want you talking to him again.

Okay, Mr. Jealous.

Did he come alone?

I think so.

What do you mean ?

I don't know, I found him drinking coffee with mom.

- So he was alone. - Yeah.

What's with this interrogation ?

Well, I'm jealous.

Come here my little jealous baby...

Wait a sec, Fran !

Let me go to the bathroom.

- Where are you going ? - Over here.

What's wrong '?

What ?

Is it my fault?

Yes.

What ?

This thing with guys coming over.

- What ? - You heard me.

- You're kidding ? - No, I'm not.

You think I'm stupid?

Why won't you tell me ?

Why do we have to go through this?

What ?

Tell me you don't want me anymore, that you've had enough of me...

Has something happened ? Why won't you talk to me ?

Do you know what it feels like for a woman ?

How do you think I felt when you left me in the bedroom?

You just sit there and look at me !

We haven't been out since I don't know when.

Oh, I remember: April 18th !

Actually I was the one taking you out 'cos it was mom's birthday.

Just drop it. Okay?

- I've got problems. - You always do.

Big ones.

How big ?

Very big !

Can you tell me what these very big problems are?

What is it ? Talk to me !

What is it ?

Mita, what's wrong ?

What's happened ?

- People are trying to fuck me over. - Who ?

Who, the money guys ?

- Them too ! - Who else ?

Some people from the City Hall.

- How much do you need ? - It's not that.

Then what is it?

Why won't you talk to me ? Maybe I can help.

- You can't. - I can. I have 2600 for Italy.

I can get more: from my father, my godfather...

- That would be crazy ! - Why ?

- Why ? - Don't you get it?

What ?!

What don't I get?

- Fuck it, I'm not going anywhere ! - What do you mean ?

You think if you stay things will get solved ?

What needs solving, Mita ? What?

What are we talking about?

What is it ? You're driving me crazy !

Did you kill someone?

I have to know what's happening too !

Come on, are you going to tell me ?

I borrowed some money

and bought litigious titles of ownership to a site in Bucharest.

- What ? - Litigious titles of ownership.

Then I borrowed more

to bribe people at City Hall.

- More money ? - Yes !

So that I'd speed up the process.

I know this Belgian guy who wants the land

as soon as I have the papers.

Only that...

Things went slower than I expected

and the guys I borrowed from want their money.

How much did you borrow ?

A lot.

How much, Mita?

I don't know, 6000 or more...

6000 or more than 6000 '?

- How much ? - 6000.

Fran, please... Crying won't solve anything.

What have you done ?

What are you mixed up in?

Where do you want to end up?

And why did you leave your job at the hotel ?

I thought I was closing a solid deal.

This is what you call a solid deal ?

If you give them some money will they wait a bit longer?

- Where do I get the money from? - Me.

I don't even want to hear about it !

I'll go ask my godfather to loan me 1000.

I don't want to hear about your godfather !

I don't like him either, but this is no time to be picky !

I'll borrow the money and we'll pay him back later.

- The bulb in your bathroom broke. - Fuck the bulb !

You tell him I'll pay him back,

not you !

I can't, he wouldn't lend it to me if I did.

Fine, but promise you won't use any of your Italy money.

You think I'd leave knowing you're in such a mess ?

If I sort this out, promise you'll leave ?

Why, Mita ? Got any more surprises in store ?

- This is no surprise. - What is it then?

It's a situation.

I'm going to bed.

- Ready ? - Yes.

Come on.

- Hello. - What a nice surprise !

- How's my sweet little doll ? - Fine.

I'm trying like hell to add

some phone numbers and I can't do it.

Tell me. How are you ? How's Ana '?

- I haven't seen your folks in ages. - Everyone's fine.

I'm moving to Italy.

Just for a while.

- So, you're finally leaving ? - Yup.

And I always thought this was rather your mothers dream.

"Great Expectations" style, but the gypsy version...

It's all set, I leave on Monday.

What will you do there?

Teach in a school for immigrant children.

Some E.U. thing.

Well, good for you !

Yeah. And it's good money. 2500 a month.

- That much ? - Yup. Serious business !

I always knew you'd make it.

Even when you were little,

I knew my goddaughter would make it.

So, what can I do for you ?

I need to borrow 1000 for two months

so I can get settled there.

And I'll pay you back in two months.

- 1000 euros ? - Yes.

- You'll really make all this money? - Yes. 2500.

If you want, I'll leave my TV set and stereo as warranty !

Come on, you think I don't trust you ?

It's not the first time I've lent you money!

Tell Cristina to come here. Quick!

If everyone was like you, Franci.

Your father... For two years he's owed me money

and he won't even return my calls.

Your mom's a lady... when I started here, she helped a lot.

She did everything she could !

Yeah, you two always had something special.

- Me and Ion '? - You and Ana. My mom.

We were young then

...youth's whims.

You know, I think

I can do it now more than I did when I was young ?

- Well, you're still young. - And not with the blue pills.

Nope. I read they found out

that if you take 3, no, more than 3 pills a week,

your ticker gives out on you.

So that means they're dangerous.

No, there's a trick.

After you're done, you should drink verbena infusions

and you add 10-15 drops of Milfoil tincture.

It calms things down, then...

Right, right.

Why am I telling you all this when you're young

and you've time for... and you're not even a man !

Cristina, you know Franci, my goddaughter?

Yes, we met when we did the contract for that church.

Sure, for my cousin.

Well, this time's not for the church, it's for her.

- Look what a beauty she's become. - She was beautiful before too.

- How much ? - 1000. For two months.

- Interest? - Something decent.

Say 5% to help out.

You need it now or can it wait till tomorrow ?

- I leave on Monday. If today's... - Today !

- Today, Cristina, today. - Understood.

I'll send her over when we're done talking here.

When you finish come to my desk.

Okay, let's do it again.

I have to get to the kindergarten, I need to do my papers.

- Fran, it won't take long ! - I'm leaving on Monday morning.

Do you wanna piss me off?

No, but my papers aren't ready.

- Do you really wanna piss me off? - Okay then.

Wait... wait a sec.

Move a little...

Please allow me to tell you all

I'm the tiniest kitten of all, with a spot on its navel.

On the snout...

On the...snout, and every morning on the dot

Everyone snatches me right up.

What am I, a big old lion ?...

A big old lion ?

What am I, a big old lion? A great big beast?

If I meant to show the goldfish the sun was such a feast.

He'd nearly become a dish !

That's it.

Hold on.

If possible, I'd like you to pay the interest monthly. Okay?

Meaning ?

- I don't want it all paid at the end. - Oh, right.

Please don't be late on payments,

that really annoys the boss.

He wants to turn your dad over to the police.

But he is well over two years due.

Do you have the money?

Can I have a copy too?

No. I don't have the money yet, but I'll get it right away.

A copy... leave them both here.

Any problems, I'm here.

Want to wait here or in the boss's office ?

Can I wait downstairs?

No, I don't like handing out money

on the street, like to a... know what I mean ?

Yes. I'll wait.

Hello. Where are you '?

Okay, I have the money.

Where should we meet?

Did you talk to them?

And it's okay ?

Okay... let's do this...

See you in 15 minutes at Cinema Studio.

Okay, bye.

Come on, Anca...

Just take that picture...

Let me see.

You'll be wearing this sweat suit when you get there ?

No, I'll change at the bus depot in Milan.

- You think you'll find a place ? - Of course.

What do you think, mom ? They're civilized over there.

- Are those ready ? - All of them are!

- And what will you wear? - Those too ?

No, I'm not taking those.

I'll wear that fine linen blouse.

And that white skirt with the pleat in front.

- What do you think? - Fine.

And with this hairstyle... You'll knock the old man out!

No, first I'm going to an address where his family lives,

I think.

If the landlords give you trouble, call me ! Okay?

It'll be difficult with those bags !

Mita, stop by to keep me from missing Francesca !

Sure, ma'am!

Keep this icon close. It was blessed at Tismana monastery !

- I will, mom. - Have a safe trip, sweetheart!

Be good, okay ?

I'll call when I get there.

Go on, mom, go inside !

Did you check those low cost nights ?

I did but... it was just as expensive.

And they don't allow much luggage.

Are we taking that one ? Okay, boss.

We're switching buses.

We're taking the other one: not enough passengers!

To Milan?

Yes, but we're changing buses.

Fran, you're switching buses.

There are more seats in the back.

- How are you, Mr. Mita? - Remulus !

- Did I scare you ? - I was just about to call you.

I know. Why bother calling '? I'm here, now.

I didn't want to bother you.

- I just wanted to call you. - Sure, I know.

- So, what, no hug? - Oh, yeah !

- Of course ! - Let me see ! Come on !

Come on !

- What's this ? - What do you mean ?

Put a little love into it.

Come on !

He don't love you, boss !

That's it, with love.

Didn't you miss my pals too ?

- We've seen each other a couple... - Hug them too.

Go on.

- Codrin... - Hello.

Come on, let me caress you too !

- Show the boss how much you love me. - Hi !

Okay, you've shown me.

- And Mr. Freza ! - Hi, Freza.

- We're your pals, right? - Good to see you.

- And Mr. Fane. - Fane...

- He's our buddy too. - Hi, how are you?

He's closer to Fane.

Mr. Mechanic has to go in the back, right?

Get the fuck outta here !

What are you doing ?

Remulus... There's a problem with my car.

So this car is mine, right?

What do you mean ?

You come with us, 'cos we have to talk.

Come on, Remulus... we'll sort this out.

I have something to do right now, but I'll be right back.

Two minutes. I'll be right back.

Like fuck !

- Know who you're dealing with ? - Of course, Remulus.

I really respect you !

You respect shit ! Codrin, take his car keys.

Where are the keys?

Where are the keys ? You deaf?

The car keys !

They're in the ignition.

There. In the ignition.

Show me the keys.

Show me where they are !

- Look, they're in the ignition. - Forget about it.

Go on, get in.

- Remulus, where do I take the car? - Freza ! Get in here!

Boss, where do I take the car?

My son graduated in applied chemistry, in Bucharest.

He said he had no future here, in Romania, and...

He left the country with his wife, a stupid bitch.

She talked him into taking care of an Italian family.

They thought this is how they'd make it.

Nonsense...

Slaves !

Doormats !

They couldn't even smoke in the house.

And I begged them not to go...

A handsome, smart boy like him.

Led by that stupid bitch...

By who '?

That whore he married ! I told him not to.

What did she do '?

She was getting it on with the Italian owner!

Oh, I see!

The owner's wife, that Italian broad, got jealous.

You know her kind ?

Yeah...

She set them up with the police.

Said something in the house was missing... My son !

He'd never do such a thing !

Can't vouch for his wife, but for him.

In Italy they arrest you now just for being Romanian.

Let alone if some grease-ball tums you in !

And the ltalian's wife told the police that my boy

threatened her, wanted to rape her...

Maybe it was the other way round I

And he's such a handsome boy ! You'll see him !

Think I work for you, dickhead ?

No, I just asked for a few more days.

No brother... you think I'm stupid ! I don't like that !

That's not true !

Here's what we'll do.

- We go to Francesca's... - There's no one there !

Shut the fuck up, I'm talking now!

We go to Francesca's place, take her somewhere nice

and when you pay up, we let her go !

Understood ?

Remulus, Francesca left for Spain. She left yesterday.

Nice try. You expect me to believe that?

Did your wife tell you she invited me over?

- Did she ? - Yeah.

She said you're a lousy fuck.

Did she tell you I had a great time with her?

Huh?

And that she liked it?

Does she love cock !

Like you wouldn't believe !

She fucked you over, you dickhead !

She calls, you never pick up.

The woman thinks you're cheating on her!

Yeah ! I'll call you later.

I'm busy, don't bug me.

Bye.

You're starting to believe it.

What if I told you she likes it slow at first 'cos it hurts?

What'll you say to that?

And she was getting all wet when I licked her ear.

What was I to do, if you won't return what's mine ?

Remulus takes it back himself!

You and all shitasses like you have to understand.

You have to give me back what's mine.

Go on, please.

Will it take much longer?

Just a bit more. I think we'll be fine.

Just tell them to send another bus so we're not stuck here.

Is it the company's fault if we're having trouble ?

- Here's the wrench ! - What are we gonna do?

We'll try to fix the engine and if it doesn't work, that's that.

Hitch-hike !

Are you taking the piss?

Didn't you read your tickets ?

Nobody gave us a ticket !

If you'd have read it, that's what it would've said !

We are not accountable for any malfunctions !

Oh, no. there's a clear sky here. No, it's fine.

Don't know.

They say we'll head back and change the bus if they can't fix it.

No. I'll call you if something's up.

Arm around my shoulders.

Arm around my shoulders.

People will think we're in love. Go on.

Go on ! Arm around my shoulders !

Remulus.

- Check the door. Now ! - Take it easy !

Check the door.

No one's there. I told you.

Shut the fuck up, or I'll crack your head open !

Mita, cut it out.

- I don't have the keys, I swear! - Shut up !

- It's an easy lock, Chinese ! - Break the damn thing !

Remulus.

Wait...

- Please, Remulusl - Fuck you !

Hold the sucker.

Get in, motherfucker...

Come on, you fucking asshole !

Remulus. Let's...

- Just sit there. - Let's calm down.

- Let's sort this out some other way. - We'll wait for your girl to come...

And then we'll sort out the money thing...

Meaning ?

Just keep calm.

And she'll tell you about our little performance...

Who's that? Mario ?

Who's that? Mario ?

Who's Mario ?

And don't pick on her, okay?

When she gets here...

Boss, don't make me sleep with this one tonight, okay ?

I don't like him. I like blond boys with blue eyes !

Let him be, he's our friend too !

Can I get something to drink?

Of course, Mita !

Wait, wait. I'm coming with you.

Aren't you my friend ?

We'll both go.

- Francesca is in Spain. - Shut the fuck up!

Hello.

We're crossing the mountains.

The signal's bad here. Can I call you back later?

What ?

At the hospital ?

What happened ?

Car crash ?

Is it serious ?

How do you know ?

Okay, I'll call her right now.

Hi Fairy, I've a big favor to ask.

Mita's been in a car crash and he's at St. John's.

That's the thing, I don't know more !

Please, go over there and see what happened, I can't reach mom !

No, his phone is turned off.

Call me when you get there.

Thanks so much.

Excuse me, do you have any signal ?

Yeah. Just one line.

Could I please use your phone and pay you for it?

Anca ! No, I couldn't reach my mother!

Please go over there.

Okay. Okay ?

Please...

Okay, call me when you get there.

Bye.

Mrs. Ana, Mrs. Ana Ionescu.

What happened ?

Mom, why wouldn't you answer?

What ?

This one ?

Yes.

And '? Anything else ?

No, thank you.

Goodbye.

Not "goodbye", miss, it's "safe trip".

We have a long road ahead.

Let's go.

If I stop the bus whenever anyone asks, we'll never get there !
