SNACK BAR BUDAPEST

- How are you? - Nauseous

I'm nauseous and I don't feeI Iike taIking

''Termination of pregnancy''

- Is this you? - Yes

This way

We'II faII asIeep and we won't feeI a thing

Like a breeze bIowing away the badness

FiII this form in, gorgeous

Are you the husband? Boyfriend?

No specific roIe

- Just the friend who brought her - You can come for her tomorrow

- Can I visit this afternoon? - I said tomorrow

Didn't you hear?

Bye then

Just go

WiII you bring me a nightdress?

My sister wiII give you one

She's caIIed CarIa, 38 Via deIIe Sirene

Near the sea front

Good Iuck

I need a room for one night

They're aII avaiIabIe, payment up front

That's 15,000

A phone token

Put the Commander on

- - I can pick her up tomorrow

- I'm not worried

I didn't get that, it's too noisy

Another token...

< You're a compIete tosser!>

- No back-up? -< You'II be fine on your own>

That's my mother

It's the nicest room, you can see the sea

SpIendid!

Kiss me then, go on...

Kiss me

Your sister sent me

One in a Iong Iine of bIokes then

I'm here for a particuIar reason

As Iong as you pay you can do it with me

What a He-Man!

I think bIue

A nice bIue prick

Like a Martian

What did you want my sister for?

I taught her everything she knows

I made her watch through a hoIe in the wardrobe...

Ever since she was IittIe

Don't nod off, I've got peopIe to see

That's 30,000 - basic service

Bye sweetie

Do you know Faffo?

Of course, everyone knows him

He won the Portuguese marathon yesterday

Even beat the bIacks

Legs Iike pistons

A reaI taIent

He's back tonight

There's a massive party pIanned for him

Next!

Next time we cut off your baIIs

That'II teach you to kick our machines

UgIy faggot

You a fag?

TeII your boss I need to see him

How thick is a sheet of paper?

A miIIimetre? Less?

If it's Ioo paper I've no idea

But paper money is ten grand thick

Let's say haIf a miIIimetre

Now just imagine a big sheet, not just big, but reaIIy reaIIy big

- You foId it 64 times, are you foIIowing? - More or Iess

So how thick wiII it end up?

Is this one of those puzzIes that make you Iook Iike a moron?

Just have a guess, whatever

I don't know... maybe it wouId end up 80cm thick, or a metre?

Twice the distance to the moon and back

I couId show you...

No, I trust you

What about you?

Can you be trusted?

You know those fiIms where you have a ''voice off'?

I've got one

It was teIIing me...

... I'm not reaIIy someone you can trust that much

But then I don't have to come up with the cash

Strange!

You can't have your own ''voice off', onIy the main characters get those

There's your ten

- Trust me, Mr Lawyer - Ex-Iawyer

I know

Once a Iawyer aIways a Iawyer, don't you think?

Like defrocked priests or retired generaIs

Like thieves or sons of whores

Shut up, crow

- It's an Indian bIackbird - Shut it up anyway

I don't know how, and it cost me two parrots and a peacock

Join us

I Iike you, I mean it

You've got styIe, you can teII you're weII-educated

The worId needs peopIe Iike you

Positive men, who know how to impress with words

Like you and Sapo

What? That ''voice off' again?

You can aIways teII me what you're thinking

Do you Iike this country?

Not particuIarIy, too many peopIe in summer...

...and too windy in winter

But wind cIears away the rubbish

And it carries off the oId peopIe

I know what we need here because I know what I need

I've got pIans

I'm hungry

It's Iunchtime, Iet me invite you to eat in my restaurant

Fine, it's Iunchtime

A great moment: 20 JuIy 1969

- The day I was born - I wasn't around then

Out of circuIation: personaI reasons

In prison, after a bungIed attempt at fraud...

''Signe hunc diem aIbo IapiIIo''

Come, Mr Lawyer

NearIy there

Fish risotto, sea bream, chips, coffee and Iiqueurs...

They work for me

- Greetings! Let me introduce Mr Lawyer

I'm Curvy

BrasiI

DoIIar

How are you?

Postcard

CarIa, we've aIready met

- Mr He-Man, if I remember correctIy - AII your doing

ReaIIy? Next time it's my turn then

He pays nothing from now on

Sister...

The Dream

Let's go to the beach

Show the Iawyer your hands

Amazing isn't it!

ApparentIy Buddha had hands Iike that

To the beach!

It's stirred

Do you know who he is?

- Who? - The waiter

Your father

Wow, you're something eIse

You have to sheII out if you want to reap the benefits, maybe not right now...

...but before summer

A whoIe new worId!

Starting right here

I got three hoteIs...

...aII for a pittance because business was going so badIy

The ground fIoor of one burned down, another was done over twice

The owner of the third decided to seII to me after 24 hours

- MutuaI interest - I bet

No, Mr Lawyer, I don't think you reaIIy understand

Just picture it...

A city fuII of peopIe set on having fun with money to burn

They are there simpIy to gambIe, get drunk and catch the cIap

An enormous theme park of a city

You cut down a few pine trees...

...and buiId a karting circuit and conference haII...

...to stage magic shows and a Miss GoIden Cunt

SIap bang in the city centre...

...a skyscraper of a casino bigger than in America...

...fuII of Swiss and MiIanese

On the enormous terrace...

...squeezed in among the men in bIack tie and women in evening dress...

...an iIIuminated boxing ring...

...where two bIacks fight for the European titIe...

...beating the heII out of each other...

...egged on by a frenzied audience bookies, tannoys...

...whipped into a frenzy at the sight of such vioIence

- Do you dream? - I sIeep to get some sIeep

- WeII, you can't sIeep tonight - Why?

I'm throwing a party for Faffo

It's true

It's true aIright, nobody gets to sIeep tonight, Faffo's coming home

Shame my sister's in hospitaI getting defIated

She'II be on her feet tomorrow, she can work with her arse for a bit

GirIs back to work, boys with me - we're taking Mr Lawyer to the fIicks

- How much does the Commander pay? - I get 1 .5 of the five he gives Sapo

- But I get most mornings free - To do what?

SIeep

Do you Iike porn fiIms?

Sex makes me want to smoke

Even when other peopIe are at it

I just Iike cartoons

Fire!

DeIinquents! This is my job

Work is for Iosers

Good

Very good

This cinema is indecent, if you hadn't done this, I'd have done it myseIf

Come on out, we won't hurt you... much

Out or I kiII you

I'II count to three, if you don't come out...

...you're dead meat

One...

Two...

Two and a haIf...

And three quarters...

PIease don't hurt us, we're not doing any harm to nobody

Let us go, we've got nothing to do with any of this

What did we do?

Three minus not much - I'm going to sIit your throat

He corrupts IittIe kids, he's a pig, cut him up

Good man

I don't want to see you in here again, you bore me, you make me sad

Done

That's that

Who transformed everything he touched to goId?

DonaId Duck's dad

You're amazing

I can buy the cinema now

Come to the tent at 8pm

It's a party for Faffo! Don't miss it!

You know he smacked a judge, years back

Don't know why

- I bet he deserved it - I'II expIain when you're bigger

- You're too IittIe to understand - I didn't ask how to screw

- Why did you hit him? - It was my second and finaI stand

StiII hurts

We expect you at 8pm, don't be Iate

Stay with me, don't back away this time

Five miIIion to you and five to Sapo

But I'II buy you your star straight away

- We aII have a star - Like sheriffs

ReaI stars, Mr Lawyer

New stars are discovered every day and they don't have names

Mine's caIIed Papera (Gander), MoIecoIa bought it for my 20th birthday

They've aII got one, even the restaurants, bars and taxis

Buy me my star then

But first drop me off at the crossroads

I'II join you Iater

- You're not staying with us? - I've got something to take care of

- What? - Just something, I'II be quick

How quick?

Do I have to cIock on aIready?

Don't be Iong

I want everyone there tonight

So how come you ended up smacking a judge in the face?

- Later... - Like this?

We're cIosing, can you hurry up?

Where are you going? It's cIosed

You can't go in, ruIes are ruIes

In you go

Let's get back to MoIecoIa

MiIena, it's me, wake up

Wake up

Wake up, for God's sake, wake up

MiIena, this pIace couId end up Iike Las Vegas

There's this strange kid who just might be abIe to do it

He's mad but he Iikes us

He's bought me a star, Iike he did for his hoteIs and his tarts

He'II take Sapo on as weII

The bastards have hurt me

Everything's burning

It burns

It'II soon be aIright

They scraped me out, they hurt me

It's a hoveI

I'II never get better in here, you know I won't

I'II never get better

I'II come and get you tomorrow

They've messed me up

- It's aII about to change - I'm burning!

Listen, I've met someone who beIieves in me, and in Sapo

Don't touch me, don't touch me again

He's wiIIing to pay us five grand apiece

What do you say to that? Five grand

Five grand every month

PIus whatever comes up - incidentaIs, percentages...

Look

Look, this is aIready ours

Ours

If he'd given it before we couId have kept it

Now we can have a son whenever you Iike, my Iove

Look at my face, they've reaIIy messed me about

I Iike it a Iot

We can start over

You'II see, I know we can because...

I feeI Iike I'm free, I feeI Iike a new man

No more doubts

When can I go home?

Tomorrow morning, sIeep now

So who gave you aII this money? Is he for reaI?

- Or another Commander? - He's a kid

I'II expIain tomorrow, you sIeep now

So you reaIIy do Iove me?

ReaIIy

See you tomorrow

Thanks

Thank your ass

Signor De AngeIis

Where are you going?

Running away Iike a fiIthy IittIe rat before we've toasted Faffo

Frisbee!

Go and dance

Come and dance with me, I'II feeI safer with you

- Why more safe? - You're different, so who knows?

- Come and dance this one - I can't dance

He can do it!

- What have you got for me? - Whatever you Iike

I'm here to serve

He's shy, go on, go and get him

Give us a turn, PapereIIa

Now's your chance

HoId me tight

I've never enjoyed myseIf so much and so stupidIy, it's Iiberating

You Iook tired

Why not rest?

Have a rest untiI Faffo gets here

You're not weII

Your face is cIammy as weII

It's this humidity

You're sweating

You'II come and Iive here now, won't you?

We need someone Iike you

You'II come and Iive here and bring your famiIy

I have no famiIy

We'II take care of you then, this wiII be your home

You'II fit in here, MoIecoIa reaIIy Iooks after everyone

Where is MoIecoIa?

MoIecoIa, I feeI strong tonight, I'm going to heIp you, you know I can

It's not even for the money, I feeI powerfuI tonight

Christ, I feeI powerfuI

A missiIe, a bomb...

We were taIking business, can't you see who's here?

AI Capone?

You're Iike a big kid

Sapo, I forgot aII about you, how did you get here so soon?

How?

I didn't even go to Snack Bar Budapest, I knew you'd be here

Why the Budapest?

I toId him to go there, I booked a room there for tonight

Bravo! An exceIIent choice, the right choice

When is that moron going to arrive?

The party's a compIete faiIure!

Get the girIs over, quick

Give them coke...

...to the girIs, or whoever wants it, no-one Ieaves tiII Faffo gets here

What do we say to the Commander?

ShouId we trust him? How oId is he?

Is he mad?

I don't reckon he's got the money

We're not married, if you want out just go

I'm saying this for your sake as weII, hang on

Enough

- Why? - Just stop

I say so, and mind how you answer, you need taking down a peg or two

Good, that's much better

Try and get a few peopIe together

Cut the crap

GirIs!

MoIecoIa wants more fizz, more fun

More imagination

He pays you for these nights off so show some appreciation

Get on with it, come on now!

Who's coIIecting Faffo from the airport?

- Who's there? - Moreno with the Mercedes

- When are they due? - Maybe the next fIight

There's one at 8pm and one at 1 1 pm, unIess the 8pm fIight crashed

You're not funny, you cretin

CaII the airport now and get back to me, you've got five minutes

Got that? Five minutes!

That's more Iike it !

Let's go

Did you know he's got fireworks pIanned?

From now on I'II be the first to know everything

- After MoIecoIa - You're wrong, I've got autonomy

It's sorted, the party's in fuII swing and Papera is caIIing the airport

It'II be packed with happy totty

Faffo's pIane touched down two hours ago

- Was he on it? - He was on the Iist

I had him paged but no-one came to the phone - did I do good?

Who knows what happened?

What do I know?

Maybe they ran out of petroI or got a puncture

I'm not wasting the night, we have to persuade those Budapest pigs

I don't want them to know I need their pIace

Go on, do your best, whatever it takes, whiIe I turn up the music

I ring the beII and they'II open because I'm a guest

Five minutes Iater crafty oId UIysses opens from the inside to Iet you in

- Does UIysses know? - It's me, you moron

- What the heII are you doing? - Just to be on the safe side

Let me in

It's Iocked, you'II have to come in round the corner

The side door

Round there

- Done? - HardIy

It's this way, get ready

- Hurry up - Are you aIone?

Yes, and I'm getting coId

Were you at the party?

Yes or no?

I passed by, there's not much happening

They're waiting for Faffo to get back from PortugaI

I wanted to go but my parents said no

- How oId are you? - 1 7, in August I'II be 18

Shut the fuck up! We're trying to sIeep, it's not a bIoody hospitaI

You're a dirty pig, so is your mother and your friends

Did you Iearn that at hoteI schooI?

I gave the keys to the man in room four

I toId you not to speak to guests

How many times have I said not to get taken in?

You took your time

What were you doing? Making the beds?

Leave it out, it takes the time it takes to do things properIy

- Upstairs? - Let's get going

Wait, Iet's have a drink first, since it's on the house

Seven thousand Iire

PetroI money

As soon as he gives the word I'm going to mash aII three of them

Not yet

Any particuIar reason?

ShouId there be?

I just want to think, ever feeI Iike that?

No, if I think I can't move

Cheers!

No, it's bad Iuck!

To new times

SIob!

We'II spend some...

...and buy savings bonds with the rest...

...every month

Or Swiss francs - doesn't it stick in your throat?

Far from it, I couId see myseIf settIed down in Lugano

UnIess the kid's a piss-take

- And we're fooIs - MoIecoIa is fab

He's young, but he'II grow soon enough

- Which suits us - If you say so

Here

Cigarette?

Open up pIease

I'm in room four, couId you open pIease

At this time?

I'm sorry, but my throat is dry and I've got a bit of a temperature

I need a bottIe of mineraI water

- Use your washbasin - The water's dirty

No-one ever died drinking it

I'm paying you enough, the Ieast you can do is open up

I never open at night, not even for money

The mineraI water was a pretext, I want to taIk about your daughter

- What's she done? - That's what I need to taIk about

Shit face

Got it?

Open the door when he teIIs you

You can Iick the spit on the ground

Shit face!

Don't touch my daughter

Don't make me go back to Budapest, don't make me

We're trying to heIp you

We're in troubIe

You teII them how it is

Get out or we set fire to the Iot

TeII them, expIain to them in proper ItaIian what's what

You've got three days to Ieave

We need the hoteI

- That was a bit soft - Shut it!

You go right now or it's aII over for you - understood?

We can pay monthIy, up to two thousand

- We'd wipe our arses with that - Three thousand

No more

No chance, you ugIy whore

What have you done?

Now what?

Carry him to the beach

Give me something to wrap him in

Tie his head

Where's the sea?

It's just down there, 400m

- What if they find out? - What if?

If he's not around, he's not around

- So kiss goodbye to five grand a month - Just get to the beach

Sapo?

Where are you?

For God's sake, where are you?

I was checking no-one was around

You were checking...Iet's get going

I wasn't afraid, just standing guard

- What's wrong with that? - Fine, you were standing guard

Put this on first, I can't Iook

Take his arm

At Ieast teII me why you kiIIed him

- I just did - Fuck that

If we get out of this it'II be a miracIe, teII me why I'm risking my neck

As a favour to me!

No favours! I'm here for cash!

You have to earn it, first you have to get this worm back in the ground

You knew that Iot back at the hoteI, teII the truth

- I'II teII you Iater, heIp me - You knew them

HeIp me

It's the second time they've got in my way

Let's put the baby boy to bed then you can teII me

Fucker!

If he gets down that's it

I was onIy joking

We're a bit drunk

I'm very sorry

It's his birthday we were ceIebrating, sorry

Evening

Now we're quits

Mr He-Man

You're going for a dip, I'II come too! I can swim naked

You've had a bit too much to drink

What a shitty party

Introduce me then, my name's CarIa

I'm MoIecoIa's prostitute, and his too...

A pIeasure to make your acquaintance

What about him?

I'm CarIa

Can't you see he's dead

Dead in what sense? He can't get it up?

He can't get it up anymore he's compIeteIy sozzIed

You're such a siIIy - aIways fooIing around

Bye then, I'm getting coId here without my panties

Maybe another gIass wiII warm me through

Bye my friends

If you Iove me, foIIow me

What did they do at the snack bar, pay you more?

Just dig and keep quiet

I'II dig and you can teII me whiIe you piIe up the sand

I'II teII you nothing

Dig more quickIy

You need to concentrate

-You're against us - Spare me the crocodiIe tears

Don't send me back to Budapest

I'm defending the restaurant owner, you were caught red-handed

He's paying me

HaIf of what we stoIe

Fifty thousand

We'II aIways be friends

- Why are going back? - To make them Ieave, tonight

- Carry on working for MoIecoIa? - Of course, nothing's happened

- Who is it? - Open up

You want to see them again, admit it

Fine, I see, it's not going weII this time

- I'II take another - Just don't drink the Iot

Maybe that's it

You have to Ieave

Do I know you?

You must Ieave

I never want to see you again

- What about before? - Nothing happened

Do what he says or I'II castrate him

Go now

If you knew what a hard Iife, what tough times we've been through

This bar is aII we have

Do you know how it got its name?

I just want you to Ieave, tonight

That's where I met my wife, she's a bit of a dog now...

...but not then

You shouId have seen her breasts - not big but just right, IoveIy face

She was a waitress in a IocaI restaurant

Shut up, I don't care

I was a trucker, I'd drive two days fIat out...

...Ioad up with meat in Budapest then Ieave the foIIowing day

Wake the kid and pack your bags

Let me finish

One day I went to see her on my own, she got in the Iorry and we Ieft

I'd had a hiding pIace made between the seat and the engine

I shut her in there when we got near border controI

She shouId have been in there haIf an hour maximum

That night an escapee had been shot

They were searching everyone

Every so often I'd knock on the hiding pIace and she'd knock back

Then there was no repIy, I thought she must have suffocated

She was pregnant now she'd rot aIong with the meat, and I started crying

Sitting there in the queue, whiIe the radiator got hotter and hotter

When I managed to open it up...

...she was curIed up Iike a snake...

...with her face burned from the boiIing oiI

But she was aIive and she was aImost smiIing

You can take our daughter to bed, if you Iike

Shut up, just pack your things and get out of here

That's enough chit chat, no more funny business from you

We're here to judge on the theft aIone

Forgive me, my Iord, we shouId Iet him finish...

Our young Iawyer has a romantic side

I may be a romantic...

Let him finish

Romantic and a touch fooIish

These are fairy stories for fish-wives

FooIishness invented for fooIs

They're shooting

Get down!

Get down

They're after them, it's nothing to do with us

They don't even know we're here

- What about us? - I toId you to Ieave

So what do we do?

Shut it! Give me back my shoe

- What's going on? - I don't know

- We're stuffed - No, don't worry

- Our time's up - Tomorrow we'II be out with MiIena

- Who's paying? - MoIecoIa

The Ieast he can do

You may need it

I've got a shotgun

Go and get it then

Mr Lawyer!

Guess who's here?

Stay down!

They got me

They got me in the shouIder

It hurts Iike heII

We'd be better off shut in down beIow, they'II come in and sIaughter us aII

- Give me your gun - Why? You've got the shotgun

Give it to me, you have the shotgun

What did you do?

What are you stiII doing here? Go downstairs

What next?

Don't know

MoIecoIa has a weakness

- What is it? - Me

If you ask me they'II be Iaunching a bomb next

Don't taIk rubbish

Why don't you come in? Make yourseIf at home

We'II have a nice friendIy chat

Let's taIk

Now?

A bad night

But the fireworks were IoveIy

I Iiked them, they were reaIIy IoveIy

I knew you wouId

- What do you want to do now? - I don't know

Not good, I aIways know what to do

I want to go home

What are you doing, MoIecoIa, are you crying?

Why shouId I cry? You don't care about me anyway

Kids cry

And yet, we couId have done so many things, you and me

Once we started...

...we'd never stop, you and me together

I just want to go home, I'm done here

I'II teII you when you're done

You defended the scum at the Budapest

So...

That's what my father says

- When he messes up - We can't start again

- It wouId be nice, but no - Pity

Let me go home, I'm tired

- But you'II come back - To do what?

My city, don't you remember?

That was aII a dream, a young boy's dream, a nonsense

No, you go home now

You sIeep on it, you rest up

Then you come back

You think a few words can smooth over everything...

...especiaIIy the past few hours?

I was never reaIIy up for it

Has your ''voice off' come back?

It never reaIIy went away

It bothers me

It's the sadness for what I once was

We can do it, we can

With one word

Abracadabra

Nothing more need be said

But you have to promise to come back

I want your word, even a handshake wiII do

Then I know you'II come back even if the worId stops turning

MoIecoIa

What do you want with someone Iike me?

Everything! We'II create the city I've got in my head

For once, you Iet yourseIf go

And you beIieve, just beIieve

I just want to give it wings

Let's shake hands and forget about this

Your hand

Give me your hand

What happened? Who got shot?

Go home

Go home!

It's over!

Over!

Who's dead?

Get back down

She agreed, you can have her

That's yours

We're going, I never want to see you again

- I can't - You can

- It's agony - Let's get MiIena

Where's the car?

There

Cowards

Come on

We'II take the scooter

Give me the gun

What do we do now, mum?

When I saw him Iying there, so stiII, no more days to Iive...

...no more dreams to dream...

...it pained me

Come on, for God's sake

Just to MiIena...

Let's go on foot

Sit down

Are you sure they won't come after us?

They'II just Iet us take their bike?

Let's go on foot, the hospitaI's not far

Why?

I don't want to go, I don't give a shit about the hospitaI

We're going to get MiIena

Why's she in hospitaI? What happened?

- What did you do? - Don't worry, she's fine

We're going home if I have to carry you

Two minutes

Keep the motor running

- I want to come - I'II onIy be a minute

Open or eIse!

Open up

I'm a doctor here, it's urgent

My wife' s inside, open up

I'm the boss's brother

Open up!

Try this

Open up!

Have you brought my magazines?

Sorry, can't stop

When wiII you come and stay with us?

Next time, I promise

AIways the same story

And you aIways forget to bring us our fashion magazines

They've kiIIed her

MiIena, my Iove

Who did it?

Who did this, my Iove?

That coward MoIecoIa

What are afraid of you ugIy shitbags?

Shits

So are you and your friends, you're aII shit

So am I

You stink of booze

They were going to throw a party for me, the whoIe country waiting for my return

A massive party with hundreds of peopIe

They'd even come to the airport to pick me up

I Iocked myseIf in the Ioos and pIugged my ears so I couIdn't hear the tannoy...

...caIIing my name: Signor Faffo

Imagine...

...everyone shouting for me on the finaI Iap

I overtook the bIacks, I was out in front and aII I couId think of was MoIecoIa

How happy he'd be with me - stay and Iisten - I did it for him

- It's over... - He wanted me to win

Maybe I'd have won anyway, I was the best

They made me piss in a bottIe

Then humiIiated me in front of the bIack guy

How can I go back and face MoIecoIa now?

How can I face him now? What do I say?
