Rooster's Breakfast (2007) - full transcript
After being fired, a young car mechanic Djuro gets recommendation to look for another job in a remote village. His new boss is warm, old fashioned and naive - completely opposite from the ...
Djuro!
Oh, Djurica boy.
A cup of coffee?
-No, thanks.
Djuro, my boy...
Life's not a bed of roses.
Times don't look rosy,
and my finances don't either.
I really don't know
what to do.
I've been calculating.
I've been adding up
the money we make
and you guys.
But it doesn't work out.
It's like I had
three pieces of bread
and four mouth to feed.
You don't get a piece each.
So, I had to make a decision.
I know it's not easy
to get a job nowadays.
Nobody has to tell me that.
But, I had to make a choice.
My philosophy is that,
well, Stankovic has two kids.
So, um... well,
he's got to stay.
Podbregar has just got married.
Puksic is building the house.
He spends it all on bricks
and to pay off the loan.
But you're young.
You don't have a family yet,
not even a girlfriend.
You don't have an
anchor to keep you here.
A young man is like a cat. A
cat always lands on its paws.
You'll work your way out. This
is what I was trying to work out.
Well.. do you get it?
I mean, to hell with it.
You can think about me
whatever you like.
I was never stingy.
I didn't wanna fuck you up.
I got you a contact
from a friend of mine.
A truly good man,
and a great expert.
You can learn a lot
from him if you want.
But, that's up to you.
This is how it is.
What I was saying...
Are you sure
you don't want coffee?
This machine makes
really delicious coffee.
ROOSTER'S BREAKFAST
Car Repair Gaja
Good dog, good dog...
To hell with the bitch.
She never barks at strangers.
You stupid dog.
She barks at her master and
wags her tail at strangers.
Go to your doghouse!
I'm Djuro.
I called the other day.
-I'm Gaja.
Radmilovic sent me here.
Want some?
-Oh, thanks.
You're from Maribor, right?
-Yes.
Sit down.
Tell me, how's TAM doing?
What are you staring at?
TAM, the car factory.
It is still working or
has it gone to hell?
It's decaying.
Of course it's decaying!
Politicians don't give a damn.
They don't give a damn
about anything that
was good in ex-Yugoslavia.
You weren't born yet
when I was repairing cars
in that car factory.
Everywhere in ex-Yugoslavia
people knew me.
All the way down
to Kragujevac.
Those were the days
when Tito was still alive.
When Tito was around,
God was with us.
Look at our politicians today!
They're a bunch of cowards.
Tito was a real man.
He quieten the Russians,
and tricked the Americans.
He said "nijet" to Stalin, and
got us money from the Yankees.
I don't remember Tito.
I know.
That's why you think
this is none of your business!
But, it is!
If Tito was alive, you wouldn't
have to look for work.
In Yugoslavia they'd roll out
the red carpet for you.
Workers were applauded at.
I remember coming
to Sarajevo once.
They all awaited me.
Directors, engineers...
A brass band played
on my arrival.
A brass band?
-Brass, yes.
Don't you know what a brass
band is? -Brass instruments...
And they roasted an ox.
Not one, hundreds of them.
Not hundreds really,
but ten for sure.
Then the girls came
and we drank
and we sang till the dawn.
-Listen...
You said you've got
work for me.
I just wanna know I didn't
come here in vain.
Listen, kid.
If you wanna work for me,
you'll have to learn
when you open your mouth
and when you keep it shut.
Remember this:
If you fight for politics,
you'll fight in vain.
But if you fight for food
or for a girl, then
I'll be the first
to start the fight.
I could make you an expert.
An expert!
It wasn't your choice to come
here in this godforsaken place.
It was the idea of those
who sacked you.
Are you gonna sit here without
a word or you gonna stay?
You gonna take me?
-I'll take you.
Look at the dog,
she's smelling you.
What do you want, um?
You'll feed her when I
forget where my home is.
And you'll answer the phone.
Look at her:
"Gib mir ein kuss".
I think she understands German.
I've got to give her a treat.
What needs to be done here?
-The belt.
Right, the belt.
What was the last time
you were here?
You've got to come here
every year, man.
What about the exhaust?
-Uf, it's cracking, too...
To hell with it!
Holy cow...
I've got two.
Has anyone got more?
Put the cards away.
Who dealt the cards?
I'm gonna play
if nobody else is.
What did I get?
Oh, nice! I'll take that.
Look at him. He goes to bed
at dusk and gets up the last.
Morning.
-This is my friend, Zobar.
He's the best dentist around.
Hi.
-I'm Djuro.
How is it?
-Djuro.
No, I mean how is it going?
How are you?
Gaja says you're from Maribor.
-Yeah.
Whereabouts? -Studenci,
near the sports hall.
I went to high school there.
I lived there five years.
I got my first job
on Kopitarjeva Street.
Railway Health Centre.
-At the post office.
Yes, at the train station.
Those were grat times.
We were young and handsome.
Oh, and we fucked a lot.
It was different than today.
The girls were chasing us.
Now we have to chase them. Right,
Gaja? -Yeah, it was like that.
Take some, kid.
It's all homemade.
Hello, Malacic!
Are you working?
-Working, working...
Wanna come in for a drink?
I can't right now. Later.
-Alright.
Good afternoon.
Where have you been,
my dear, pretty Ana?
What's up, Gaja?
Djuro, this is our Ana.
-Ana, my new apprentice.
Hello.
-You found a handsome guy.
Beware of the witty fox.
She'll hug you with one hand
and stick the other right into your
pockets! -Beware of Gaja, boy.
If you do as he does,
you'll have your throat wet
and you wallet always empty.
We know this is true, right Gaja?
Oh, Ana. Pour us drinks.
It's boiling hot outside.
What will you have, guys?
A spritzer for me.
-A beer.
In twenty-nine days
you'll get your first paycheck.
Here you go guys...
-Thanks, Ana.
Now that you're mine, kid,
you've got a guarantee
in all sacred places.
You still owe me
for the last month.
Shut up, you wicked witch!
You steal money from us,
the poor.
Listen to me, kid.
Treat a woman like a wolf
treats a fox.
Grab her by her throat
and let her go.
Grab her by her throat again
and let her go.
I had all sorts of chicks
coming up to me.
Beware of chicks who'd rather
get laid than pay for repair.
They'll always come up
with something broken.
But they can't pay
one hour of your work.
Some chicks would
get laid for a winshield.
Even if you charge them,
they'd come back
and catch you in their trap.
And you're done.
Yeah, well, to hell...
Only once, I went through this
and it'll never happen again.
It's over.
It's better to be single.
-No! Listen to me, kid.
The best chicks are those
who cause crashes.
A crash fuels a woman
like a lightning strike.
The chicks who cause crashes
are really something special.
This is how it is for sure.
They don't give a damn.
Say whatever you want.
Hi!
Hey, Bronja! What's up?
You can see it for yourself.
-Mhm.
That driver was supposed
to give me way. -Mhm, I see.
You did a good job
to this piece of metal.
Leave her, bitch.
-Go away, dog.
Are you alright?
-Yes, I'm fine.
Cveto is out of his mind.
If it happen to him,
he'd say it was god's will.
It's a good thing you
crashed the car.
I'm gonna make a new
one out of it!
Cveto got so enraged as if
it was a write-off.
If I can still drive it,
it's not a write-off, right?
No, it's not.
Men complicate sometimes.
-Yeah...
I'll make a cup of coffee.
-Alright.
Hey, kid! Come down!
Why the hack do you always
turn in so early?
My friends here are wondering
what are you hiding up there?
Come on down!
Look, who's here!
You're stuck up in there
like an old bat.
Boys, my new apprentice.
Sit down, kid.
Over there is Cikuta.
He's a professor of physics.
Yet he can't weld a bulb.
You don't weld a bulb,
you change the bulb.
Oh, I didn't know that...
The one who's laughing
is Pavlica.
Gaja says you're
a good worker.
You're from Maribor?
-Yeah.
Stop laughing...
Lepec, old bastard!
What's up?
Smart asses!
Here's something
for your scorched throats.
How is it going, professor?
Are you done with lessons?
You must be the new
first assistant to Gaja.
I'm gonna make him
an expert.
did you take a look
at my Mercedes? -Yes.
How much damage?
-Just some curved metal.
A piece of cake
for an expert like me.
I can make you
a new car out of it.
Fucking chick! This is her
second crash this year.
And she drives only
up and down the town.
I would never employ a chick.
Chick's place isn't
behind the wheel.
Can you imagine a chick
in your transport park?
Driving a truck, wearing
high heels? Holy cow!
Are you going to open
this bottle or not?
Kid, go get us glasses,
from above the stove.
Go, go...
I've got Bracko's wine.
Wanna try?
Oh, no.
-Alright, I will.
Morning...
Morning...
-Morning.
Gaja is still sleeping.
Last night was a long one.
My husband got up on the
wrong side of the bed, too.
Could you...
Boss, hey boss.
What? - You've got a visit.
Morning, Gaja.
-Bronja.
Morning.
-What's up, Bronja?
We haven't started
with your Mercedes, yet.
Lepec has to bring
the spare parts first.
It's gonna take us
a day or two.
I didn't expect you
to have it done. It's just...
I'd borrow your car.
I must go to Austria.
Oh, no, Bronja.
-Please, Gaja.
What if you crash
my old Yugo, too?
I wouldn't ask you
if it weren't so urgent.
My friend's sick. I promised
her to get pills from Austria.
Don't boss me.
I won't let women boss me.
Light up my cigarette, kid.
Only once a woman bossed me.
I threw her out of my house.
Your apprentice could take me.
-No way! The kid's must work!
We work from early morning
till the evening!
No time to shirk work. -Come on.
-The kid hasn't got the passport.
Sure I have it!
-No, you don't!
Don't be such a bore, Gaja.
It's only a ten-minute drive.
It's gonna take us
less than an hour.
Women! To hell with you!
What was God thinking
to create a woman?
Take her to goddamn Austria.
And bump into the first trffic-light...
You can't drive anyway.
I don't have to put up
with any of this anymore.
Stupid dog, to hell with you...
Could I get a smoke, please?
Thanks.
The lighter, too.
Thanks.
It's hot, isn't it?
-Yeah...
Do you often go to Austria?
-Quite often.
Do you go to Austria
or to get the pills?
Don't hold it against me,
but I need some silence now.
No worries.
I've got to drive anyway.
I've got a headache.
-I'm sorry.
Here, fresh up. It's so hot.
-Thanks.
I'm sorry for that earlier.
I was so angry.
First I crashed the car,
then those pills...
I promised my friend to bring
them, so I really had to.
No worries.
You don't have to
worry about the car.
Don't use the polite form.
-Oh, right.
It's ok. Finish the cigarette.
Your husband has already
gone to get the spare parts.
The car's gonna be ready
in a couple of days.
It's great that Gaja has you,
you'll speed up his work pace.
Gaja knows how to work.
He does, but he's never
in a hurry.
Shit! Oh, I'm sorry...
Step on it, step on it!
Turn it off.
Have you changed
the belt yet? -No.
Do it. Clean the car
and then we're done.
Hello, Gaja.
-Hello.
I brought the spare parts.
-Oh, good.
Where's the kid?
-Djuro! Take the spare parts in.
Where are they?
-In the boot.
Hi, Bronja.
-Hello.
Wanna coffee?
-Is it fresh?
Yes, perfect for the skin.
Lepec, co you want some too?
-No, thanks.
It's hot like hell!
Fucking Hungary
took me all day.
Why is my Mercedes
still parked outside?
THe kid and I will take
it in today. -Alright.
Wanna some brandy?
-No.
Coffee?
-No.
Lepec, listen to me.
You've got a pretty nice
place here, Gaja.
This time I can't
make it for free.
It's never been for free!
I've always paid!
When my electricity
had been cut off or
when I begged you on my knees.
Then you paid.
This time you gonna
pay me in advance.
Payment in advance
is out of question.
I brought the spare parts,
you gonna repair the car.
Then I'll pay.
You know how it works.
Pay me in advance
or park your Mercedes
in your living room.
You're wining like an old bat.
What's the matter?
If you make a fuss about it,
you can keep it until winter!
Mind your language! -Pay him
in advance for peace's sake.
You shouldn't have had
the car in the first place.
You bother me all the time.
Cveto this, Cveto that...
I drove around in Hungary
like insane the whole day!
Why do you need the car anyway?
To drive up and down the town?
-I've got things to do.
I wonder what thins.
-Important thins.
Do you see what
is she doing to me?
Stop it! Both of you.
We gonna take care of the car!
Thanks. -You're thanking him?
-Who's gonna pay for the repair,
me or him?
-If you don't pay this time,
I'll never lay my eyes on you.
You can find yourself
another mechanic.
Goodbye, Gaja. Bronja,
pack your stuff.
I mean it this time!
Come here.
Good girl...
Are you hungry, kid?
Pavlica brought Macedonian
lamb. Straight from the hills.
Prepare everything
for roasting.
We have to find some wood
to start the fire.
God, is this sheep heavy.
Of course it is. Did you
think I'd bring some shit?
Whose turn is it? -Pavlica,
it's yours! Go to hell!
You don't know how to play.
Why did you throw in the fool?
I ran aout of triumphs. Fuck you!
You gave them the heart!
I didn't have the heart
and you stole triumphs!
Why do you play if you
don't have the triumphs?
You took all my triumphs, jerk!
And my last king, too.
We've got the kings.
-My ass you've got kings.
Here, I've got king of hearts.
There are twenty-one triumphs!
Twenty-two.
Twenty-one plus the fool.
The fool is twenty-second.
Kiss my ass.
We both know very well
who is who here.
Yes, wed do!
Gaja is Gaja, midn you.
Pavlica, leave it.
You're a fucked up nerd!
If it weren't for my company,
you'd all rot here
in this godforsaken place.
-What did you say?
Who paid for renovation
of the town park?
You? With your workroom?
You haven't got money for
electricity or for a spritzer.
You haven't got a thing!
Mother fucker! I can cover you
with my money!
Fucking political bastard!
I'm gonna throw this glass
in your head.
He said I didn't have
for a spritzer!
You lost it guys.
It's only a game. Sit down!
Only if Pavlica apologizes.
Pavlica, apologize.
-Mhm.
Don't you ever raise your voice
in my house again!
If you don't, I won't either.
That's the way to speak.
Who's dealing cards? -I am.
Let's play our heads off!
Oh, look at him!
Are you done for today?
Ah, to hell!
Pour me some schnapps.
What's the matter?
-Uf...
My audience is a bunch
of stupid cows.
I'm doing my best, and they
stuff themselves with food.
I play the best music there is,
but they only sit and eat.
Since days of Yugoslavia
people don't know
what a good party is.
It's like I'm playing
to dead people.
Nobody cries,
nobody drinks a toast,
nobody sings from the heart.
Dead people.
I'm playing hits of
Croatian sex-bomb, Severina.
Her songs are heartbreaking!
Yet nobody cries. Fuckers!
Why don't you play her
songs for us?
For you?
-Yeah, for us.
Aren't we good enough audience?
Play it here?
-Yes, here.
I can't play under these
conditions.
There is no electricity.
-Of course there is!
I need cables for synthesizer,
for mixer, for loudspeakers...
I've got cables.
How many meters do you need?
Ten?
-Well, um...
Twenty? Have we got twenty?
-We do.
Do you really want me to?
Yes!
A concertino for your friends.
Well?
-Alright.
Great! Did you see that?
Leave this one.
I'm going to take it.
Take the loudspeakers.
Put the bench there.
Is it 220 volts?
-Yes, it is.
I don't want my fuse
to go to hell.
Put it here so that
we'll have a good view.
Watch out!
Are you drunk?
Are we done?
-Just a second.
Fuck this acoustics
it's no good.
It's great.
Is electricity supply alright?
-Yes.
And now the very best
of my program for you.
May I?
Why are your eyes
So tired and sad?
I can't see in them
The shine of blue sea.
Forget about gloomy days,
And give me your hand.
Once again tonight,
When the Moon's still young
I wanna hear you say
I love you.
I wanna love you,
I wanna make you happy.
I'm gonna sing for you,
I'm gonna be
your only songbird.
This is fantastic!
What do you say, boys?
Where did you find this song?
Oh, it's nothing. -What's
the singer's name? -Severina.
Severina Vuckovic.
-This is so beautiful.
Come watch my performance at
the health spa. -Alright, I will.
I've got two times four
hundred watts there.
No! Sing that one.
You'll sing another one later.
Listen everybody.
Why are your eyes
So tired and sad?
I can't see in them
The shine of blue sea.
Forget about gloomy days,
And give me your hand.
Boss, the varnisher called.
-Yeah?
To see when are we picking up
the bumper for the Mercedes.
Shall I go get it?
-Mhm.
You'll go get the LPs.
You mean discs?
-What discs?
You'll get the LPs.
-For the Mercedes?
Stupid kid! You'll get me
Severina's albums.
Here's the money.
Bring all they've got.
From the town?
-Yeah.
I think it's difficult
to get LPs nowadays.
Cassettes or CDs perhaps.
-Just buy them.
Did you hear Malacic singing?
Oh, lord!
I must find out who
this woman is!
She's gotta be good
if her songs are so great.
God, was Malacic singing...
Why are you eyes
so tired and sad...
Bon appetite!
-Oh, thanks.
Sorry...
-What are you doing here?
I go shopping along
our avenue every day.
Is it tasty?
-I think so. Want some?
No, thanks.
-Come on...
I don't know...
-Come on.
I'll have a portion
if you gonna have one more.
Two more portions here. Without
onions for me. -The same for me.
Good afternoon.
-Hello.
I wonder how is he able
to walk today.
Yesterday he was dead drunk.
Yeah?
-Loaded.
He was my teacher
in high school.
What was he teaching?
-He still is. Physics.
Physics. Brrr...
No, his classes
were never problematic.
He was always a bit merry,
so he was in a good mood.
He'd let us all pass.
-Mhm...
During tests, he'd doze off,
so we cheated freely.
He's a soft-hearted man.
-He is, isn't he?
People say he drinks because
his wife bothers him.
I don't know. Though
she looks like a witch.
Here it is.
-Thanks.
You can take this away.
Bon appetite again.
-The same to you.
Want a drink?
-No, thanks.
Can I have a sip of yours?
-Sure.
Thanks.
Do you hear, kid?
-What?
Do you hear her?
-I do, boss.
This is her. Look at her.
-She looks good.
Sit down, kid.
You've always been deaf
and you gonna stay deaf.
But remember this:
If a mechanic doesn't recognize
a nightingale's song,
he hasn't got a good ear
for a car's machine either.
You haven't got a clue
what a woman is.
Take some. -No, thanks.
-You're all skin and bone.
Listen to me.
I got a call
from Sarajevo in 1975.
Something cracked up
in the production.
I was the only one
who could fix it.
There was no machine
that my hands couldn't repair.
But, that's not the point.
I'm there. We go for dinner.
We drink and have a good time.
Directors, big chiefs...
And then... She Appears.
Jelena. A singer to blow
your mind away.
She was that kind of a woman
...Never mind.
Her voice made your tears
run through your throat.
We sit there.
Important chiefs
and me, unimportant nobody.
They're drooling over her,
but she stares at me.
She didn't even glance at them.
In one moment
she gets off the stage.
She walks towards me
and she sings.
She comes up to me.
She bows.
I close my eyes.
And she kisses me.
On my forehead.
Among all the big chiefs
she chose me.
Can you imagine how they
looked at me?
Since then nobody called me
Gaja or Piti anymore.
They called me
"The one who Jelena kissed".
And then?
-What?
Well, did you get
any action?
Oh, kid.
You've always been a fool
and you gonna stay a fool.
That Jelena kissed me...
That was the most beautiful
moment in my whole life.
Yeah...
Why are you all dressed up?
Yesterday I ran into
a friend of mine.
I thought I'd go for a beer.
-Sure, go.
Boss...
Oh, right! You need money.
Here. Wait... There.
Thanks. I'm not gonna be late.
How come you've got
so much time off?
I don't know.
Aren't you working?
-I don't have to...
It's not that I don't want to,
but Cveto and stuff...
Are you a loner?
-Yes.
You?
-Me too.
It doesn't mean I don't
have a company in my head.
When I was a kid, my parents
took me to a psychologist.
Because of my imaginary friends.
Then I started hiding them.
When did they disappear?
-What do you mean?
When did they go away?
-I don't get it.
They're still here. Can't you see
them? There. They are there.
Walk on a bit.
I've got to speak to them.
Good afternoon, everybody!
Pavlica, my friend!
You know girls aren't gonna
run after you anymore.
You're fifty now.
You'll be heading to
St. Peter's soon.
Here, we brought you this.
So that you'll make schnapps.
Make sure you gonna
share it with your friends.
Alright?
-Sure.
Happy birthday.
Attention, please.
Please.
Our dear Pavlica,
my dear Ivan.
We love you!
W wish you
a happy birthday!
Let's take our glasses
and sing together!
For he's a jolly good fellow,
For he's a jolly good fellow,
For he's a jolly good fellow,
which nobody can't deny.
Gaja, what's that?
-Don't touch it.
This is Severina, a singer.
I've got all her tapes.
I cut out her picture.
The other night Malacic played
her hits at my place.
Oh, yeah?
-She's got a voice...
I only think of her and
I get goose bumps.
I see you know
what's good stuff.
I know her in person.
You're pulling my leg.
Her manager Tomica
is a friend of mine.
W had a dinner in Esplanada.
I paid for everybody.
Her manager just sat there.
-Oh, Lepec. You know Severina!
What is she like?
I wanna know everything.
Go, dance a polka!
Thank you.
Gaja! Especially for you:
Severina!
Bravo, Malacic!
Everybody who's in love,
go to the dance floor.
Let's put it here.
Go away. Be careful.
I don't want it to fall on you.
I told you twice.
Isn't that enough?
Go away!
Hey, Djuro!
-Hello.
What happened?
-Lepec crashed his BMW.
It seems like it's God's will
that he crashes all his cars.
What about Lepec?
Is he alright?
I took him to the hospital.
They kept him under observation.
He got few bruises.
He's gonna survive.
What's up?
-It got stranded.
Really?
-Yes.
I'm gonna get a panel.
Fucking experts.
A fast car is no good, if you
don't know how to drive it.
Finish up the cake.
-I don't want the cake.
But you like this one.
It's chocolate one.
Would you rather have
an ice-cream? -No. This is ok.
Eat it up.
-I wanna go home.
How is Lepec doing?
-Good.
Yeah...
Sara, finish the cake.
I got it for you to eat it up.
Why did you throw it down?
It's nothing. Here you go.
-Thanks.
Are you free today?
-No.
I'm picking up Cveto
from the hospital.
What's the matter, sweetie?
She's not like that usually.
I wanna go home.
-You wanna go home. Alright.
When then?
-What?
When are you free?
Don't know.
Soon.
Let's go.
Oh, Slovenes...
You're really something.
You're happy only when
you can save some change.
No, not really...
-It's true.
They put up quite a performance.
In a trio. -Yeah, I know.
Trio "The Three Chords".
-They play folk music...
Look, the mudguard,
this is all brand new.
I fixed the brakes and all.
I'm gonna polish your BMW, too.
It'll look like a brand new.
But, I'd like you
to pay me today.
Just say how much it is,
and I'll pay.
A realistic price
for work and material...
Overcharge me!
Say more than it was.
You know I'm loaded.
Guys, did you see what Gaja
made out of my Mercedes?
He made a Jaguar.
We have to celebrate that.
I invite you all to my Havana.
Did you have an apparition of
Virgin Mary in the car crash?
You'll have several
apparitions in Havana...
Yes, let's go to Havana!
-To Havana, of course.
Once in a lifetime a man meets a
master like you, Gaja.
When was the last time you took a
shower, man? Here, take my hand.
Our handshake should go down
in history. -I'm embarrassed now.
Embarrassed?
Come on, pour us a drink.
Have a drink, guys.
I'm gonna get changed.
I can't go with you.
I've got a gig.
What did you say, Roki?
-I'm playing greatest hits.
But we're going, right guys?
-Of course, we are.
Let's go get the hookers!
Leave that. Get dressed.
We're going to Havana.
What Havana?
-To Havana.
Don't you know what Havana is?
-A tavern?
Lepec invited us on his chicks.
Go get changed.
I'm not going, boss.
-What did you say?
I'm not going there.
-Oh, yes, you are.
Where did you find this one?
I haven't seen her before.
She's from Ukraine.
-Oh, from Ukraine...
What's her name?
Natalija.
-Natalija...
I want her tonight.
You can't get her.
-Why not?
Because she's new.
New girls get one week
to acclimatize.
Come on, Lepec.
-I can't.
Here are 200 German marks
just let me have her.
You gonna get another girl.
The best girls are the Czechs.
But I want Natalija.
You can't get Natalija! You'll
get a Czech girl. Alright?
Alright.
You gonna let me have
Natalija next time?
Of course.
Here you go. This is the girl.
Arrange one for me, too.
-No problem. Pay first.
What?
-Pay first.
You want me to pay you?
Holy cow! I fixed your car.
You have to pay me!
Holy cow...
You didn't pay in advance,
you didn't pay for my work.
Listen, Gaja...
That's not the same.
Don't mix these two things up.
This house has its own rules.
You can get dead drunk here,
but you pay to get a fuck.
You brought me in here.
What were you thinking?
I'm gonna sit here and
drool over the chicks?
You're right, Lepec.
What is right is right.
The one who can pay,
the one can fuck.
Fucker! You won't
get you willy up anyway.
I'll give you a discount
on your Mercedes.
I don't have any money on me.
I'm gonna give you a fifty percent
discount, just don't let me fly solo.
I wish I could,
but my hands are tied.
Such is policy of the house.
Come on!
Let me have a fuck.
I'm telling you my hands
are tied. Such is the policy.
Oh, come on.
-I can't.
I'll give you even
better discount.
I'll give you
a hundred percent discount.
I'll give it to you gratis,
just let me fuck tonight.
My Mercedes?
-Here's my hand.
You're giving me
my Mercedes for free?
Guys, we're leaving...
Is that it, Gaja?
-Take my word for it.
Are you happy now?
-Yes.
God, is she tall..
What about you two?
Don't you want some fun?
Djuro, do you have a girl?
No.
-Go ahead then.
It's on the house.
-No, thanks.
God bless, Piti.
-Hello.
If you've got only bills,
you can take them away.
It's a telegram.
A telegram for David Slavinec.
He lives here?
Yes. He's my apprentice.
-He has to sign.
Really?
-Yes.
Djuro! You've got to
sign a telegram.
What will you drink?
-Nothing.
A schnapps?
-No. I'm driving.
Good afternoon.
-Good afternoon.
Here's the telegram.
David Slavinec.
You're new here, right?
-Yeah.
Nice...
Sing here. And here.
Ups, sorry.
-It happens. Even to the best.
It's nice here, isn't it?
-Yes.
Alright. Well, goodbye.
-Goodbye.
Have a nice day.
Whose apartment is this?
-It's from a friend of mine.
From a very good
friend of mine.
She's the only one
who knows all my secrets.
Did you like my surprise?
-Mhm.
Hold me.
I wish we could be
like this forever.
We can be.
-No. The timing's not right.
Like always. For me
the timing's never right.
What do you mean?
I wasn't even born
at the right time.
My father was a Montenegrin.
He ran away before I was born.
What about your mom?
She hanged herself
in the ninth month.
Pregnant? No way.
That's horrible!
Who brought you up?
-Foster parents.
How long did you live
with them?
Until I was eighteen.
I couldn't wait to escape.
Poor you!
Poor you.
Tell me something.
-What?
Something you've never
told anybody yet.
Do you remember our trip
to Austria?
No... -Oh, come on"
-Sure I do.
The pills I bought there
were for me.
What kind of pills are they?
Nobody knows me there, so I can
buy stuff. -What kind of pills?
For my nerves. I've been
taking them for six years.
After Sara's birth,
things got complicated.
Cveto and I got detached.
I suffered from panic attacks.
All together, I guess.
Then I stated with the pills.
Better that than alcohol, eh?
Since we're together
I'm not taking them anymore.
So, I'm your pill now?
You're a much better drug!
I'm gonna get us
something sweet.
The level of sugar in my blood
dropped drastically.
Where did you meet Lepec?
-Why are you interested in him?
Who said I was?
Cveto was older, dangerous
and handsome.
He had money and a motorbike.
Everything I wanted.
-A gold digger.
No. I had to rebel against
my parents.
They had it all arranged
for me.
What I'll study,
where I'll live...
Want some coating on top?
Yeah?
So I left everything and
went with him.
It was crazy until it lasted.
I thought it was gonna
last forever.
I could've known it
wasn't going to be like that.
His business wasn't
what I imagined either.
Here you go.
-Ups!
That's my favorite.
Hey, boys!
-Hello.
You're having a break
and the cars are waiting?
We've just sat dawn.
-Sit down.
What do I have here?
-Don't know.
Yes or no?
You brought Severina!
Give me that!
Holy cow!
Put this soup away.
I spoke to her manager, Tomica.
I mentioned Tomica to you,
do you remember? -Yeah.
She's gonna have a concert here,
in Radgona. Where? -In our town.
Are you pulling my leg?
-No, I'm not.
You must get me a ticket.
-It's all arranged. Booked.
She's gonna have three concerts.
You'll get tired of her.
Never. What a woman!
And she sings so beautifully!
I've got all her cassettes.
Money and cigarettes.
Are we ready?
If anybody looks for me, tell them
I'll be back by the evening.
Lepec and I are going to
Hungary to get spare parts.
Gaja, do you have a passport?
-Sure I do. Why are you asking?
You furnish it by yourself?
-Yes. It's my hunting lodge.
How long are we alone?
-Till the evening for sure.
Mercedes! It's my Mercedes.
You should have checked
your passport...
Fucking shit! They said
they were going to Hungary.
Where can I get out?
-You can't.
Perhaps they forgot
something and they'll leave.
Thank you.
You gonna give me
some money for gas.
What? Did they leave?
-Yes. Lepec's gone.
What about Gaja?
-He's in the courtyard.
He won't come up here
for sure.
We'll wait here for a while.
He'll go to a bar or something.
He's never come up here.
-Okay.
It's gonna be alright.
-Hey, kid! Djuro!
Djuro!
Oh, holy cow! I'm sorry.
We arrived to the border
and the customs officer
found out my passport
was no longer valid.
I couldn't convince him
we're just going to get
a couple of screws.
I couldn't risk my work
for some screws.
But I couldn't get
these screws here.
When I came home
I see the workroom's open,
the house's open,
the kid's gone.
I thought to myself
he's either in a bar
or he's gone to doze off.
But now I see you two here.
Shit!
Listen, boss. I...
Lepec's wife.
Congratulations.
You screwed his wife.
You can't change that.
Of all the women in the world
you picked up her.
Look, boss...
What are you laughing at? Hm?
Listen to me carefully.
A man never pisses over
a friend's fence.
Let alone fuck his wife.
What if he smells something?
Boss, you don't understand.
We're... -What don't I understand?
It's none of your business. This is
my problem and Bronja's problem.
If you don't say a word,
everything's gonna be alright.
Look who's talking!
You're acting like a professor.
You gonna give me
lectures on psychology?
Great! If you're so foolish!
I'm not gonna get into debt
for your funeral, my kid.
They'll bury you
on public expenses.
Or they won't bury you at all.
It's none of my business.
Holy cow!
Who is concerned about me?
Name one person who has ever
been concerned about Gaja!
Nobody gave shit for me!
Why would I give a shit?
I'm not gonna give a shit!
Where do you drive to work?
What? Oh, you mean now.
Through Austria.
What cards have you got?
Good or bad?
Like that...
Tell the kid to come down
so we can play in four.
Let him be. He worked hard
today. He's tired.
Tired? Is he?
Hey, Malacic. Come here.
Now we can play cards in four.
Have you heard what happened?
What happened?
-There was a raid in Havana.
I didn't know.
Total mess, I'm telling you.
The police broke in.
They arrested Lepec and Zobar.
-Zobar? -Yes.
Why him?
-He raped a girl from Ukraine.
Hold your horses.
How can you rape a hooker?
Oh, fuck that.
Was that this new, this young
girl, um... Natalija?
Yes, her.
He took her to the room,
and she wouldn't fuck him.
Zobar totally lost it.
He bit off her clitoris.
What? He bit her clitoris off
using his teeth.
Really?
-Yes.
Mother fucker.
-Holy...
What did you say he did?
With his teeth
he bit her clitoris off.
The girl has been taken
to the intensive care.
Disgusting bastard!
She's gonna be crippled
for the rest of her life.
It can't be that bad.
-Of course it is.
No one should beat a woman
even if she's a hooker.
I'm afraid Zobar
is in deep trouble.
I heard he's under suspicion
of being a pedophile.
Of a what?
Speak the language
I understand. Holy cow!
Pedophilia.
-Kids...
Are you out of your mind?
-No way!
I spoke to a friend who works
at the police station.
He said they've been
watching him for some time.
Supposedly, he waits for girls
in front of the school.
He talks sweet to them
and then... To hell!
Disgusting mother fucker!
He's never gonna step into
my house again!
If he shows up, I'll weld
his balls on the wall.
I swear.
Perhaps it would be right
we stood by him now.
Pedophilia is a disease.
It can be treated.
Disease, rubbish!
-It's proven scientifically.
How would you feel
if he attacked your little girl?
And stuck his thing in her, um?
Watch your head.
Holy Cow!
Have you read this, kid?
He bit off her clitoris.
Shocking news.
A man observed little girls
in front of primary school -
He tried to lure them into
going for a drink with him.
School officials gave brief
and reserved comments.
Exactly. Nobody knows
anything about it now.
Boss...
-Um?
Look, who's here...
Don't you dare step out.
Close the door!
I said close the door.
Get out of my sight!
I said get lost!
Goddamn pedophile!
How dare you?!
You disgraced the whole town!
How does he dare come here?
What did he come for, pervert?
Hail Mary!
Goddamn!
That bastard gassed himself
only to get on our nerves.
Only to bug us.
But we won't be bugged.
I won't be bugged.
I swear, I won't be bugged.
I don't give a shit about him.
If I had found him,
I would have left him rot
there in the wood.
I'd laugh at him
Now he's laughing at us.
Perhaps one of us should
say few words at the funeral.
Who are we to philosophize about
life? -You can't talk like that.
He was a friend of ours.
-That's the way people do.
He was a man after all. -Zobar was
not a man. He was a spoiled brat.
He was forty-two and still lived
at his mother's. Is that a man?
He was a sucker. A chump.
-Come on, boss. -What?
What time's the funeral at?
-At three o'clock.
What's the time now?
-Half past two.
We should go.
-Yeah, let's go.
Where's Sara?
-She's sleeping.
When is Lepec coming back?
-Tomorrow.
Lepec! Comrade!
Where have you been?
-Hello, Gaja.
When did you come back?
-This morning.
You don't look very well.
What's the matter?
Have you got some brandy?
-Sure I do.
I've got a plum brandy
that'll blow your brain out.
What's the matter?
I can see something's
very wrong.
When it rains, it pours...
What's this?
-A lighter.
Yes, so?
-I found it in our bedroom.
Nobody has ever smoked
in our bedroom.
And we've never
used a plastic lighter.
I don't get it.
-There's nothing to understand.
The bitch is fucking
with another man.
What are you talking about!
That's not the proof.
There comes the time when
you don't need any evidence.
And you're not looking
for any.
Have you ever seen her
with another man?
Never.
Between me and you. Have you
ever seen her with another man?
I', telling you I didn't.
I never go anywhere.
I'm fixing your car
with the kid.
I'm gonna kill
the mother fucker.
And the fucking bitch.
Oh, I almost forgot.
The ticket for
Severina's concert.
You brought me the ticket.
Thank you.
How much is it?
-Forget about it.
Thank you so much.
I'll never forget that.
Look at this! Holy cow...
Pour me another one.
-Sure.
Take it. Come on,
take it! -No.
What now? Are you a chick?
Do you want him to kill you?
-Of course not.
Take it then!
-No.
Won't you defend yourself?
-No.
Sit down.
Foolish kid!
You've got to defend yourself.
If you don't kill him, he'll kill you.
-What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with you?
Defend yourself.
Be like the partisans were.
Be like, like...
What are you laughing at?
Be like Bonnie and Clyde.
Have you watched the film?
You haven't watched it, eh?
I watched it.
Warren Beauty was in it,
a good actor.
And that blond chick.
What's her name?
I can't remember.
Something in F -...
Faydonnaway.
Yes, that's right.
I was the same age then
as you.
I took a girl to the cinema
to watch this film in color!
I asked her for ages
to take off her bra.
And to come with me
to empty a cashbox.
But she wouldn't.
She wouldn't do a thing.
You've got a chick
who would do things.
That's why you've got
to listen to me.
I've seen many
dirty things in my life.
It's better you die with her
this morning
than crawl alone in the world
and complain all your life.
That's why I'm telling you.
Take this gun.
Take it.
-No.
What are you afraid of?
Djuro, where's your boss?
-I think he's in the shower.
What the fuck!
Gaja! Where are you?
We're gonna be late!
Ready? Let's go boys!
Gaja! -What now?
-What's this stain? -Where?
Oh, fuck!
That's not funny.
Let's go, let's go!
We're late!
I'm not drinking tonight.
Watch out. Don't spill
ti over me.
Where are you going?
-To the toilet.
You mustn't miss
the first song!
The first song
is always the best.
I'm speaking from experience.
In the name of the organizer
I'd like to welcome you here.
I wish you
a pleasant evening.
But before we begin
with the concert,
I'd ask the driver who
parked their car
on the emergency driveway
to remove the vehicle.
License plate is: MS JI237.
Immediately, please.
Why are your eyes
So tired and sad?
I can't see in them
The shine of blue sea.
Forget about gloomy days,
And give me your hand.
Tonight, once again
When the Moon's still young,
I wanna hear you say
I love you.
I wanna love you,
I wanna make you happy.
I'm gonna sing for you,
I'm gonna be
your only songbird.
When the ships stop sailing,
When the sea calms down,
I'll come into your dreams.
You'll know then
Our love's flame
Is still glowing.
Tonight, once again...
Thank you, my dear all.
This was a song
for all who are brokenhearted.
Long gone emotions.
But we are here to have fun!
Here's something to
cheer you up! Maestro!
What's up?
-Nothing.
What's that?
-Oh, leave that.
What happened?
-It wasn't the first time.
Mother fucker!
Are you alright?
What's the matter?
We've got to stop seeing
for a while.
What does it
"for a while" mean?
Just that. I can't see
you for a while.
How long? For a week?
For a month? How long?
I don't know.
Cveto feels something's
not right.
And I don't have
a clear conscience.
I'm sorry.
I hardly made it here.
Understand me, please.
Come on, Djuro.
-Leave me alone.
It's difficult enough for me.
Don't make it even harder.
I'm making it harder for you?
He beats you up and
I'm making things harder?
This is sick! What's wrong
with you? I wait all the time.
When you'll have time for me.
-I'm married and I've got a child.
You could have thought about
that earlier!
I'm sorry.
Come on, don't be like that.
Goodbye!
Please...
I said goodbye! Go out.
Go home!
Get the fuck out of here!
Did we fix your BMW?
-Respect to you, Gaja!
That's what we'll do:
see these keys?
They'll wait in my left pocket
until you pay.
There's no other way for me.
I had expenses.
Paint, electricity,...
I owe money for the material.
I worked for free.
-Gaja, I made a decision.
I'll give you the Mercedes.
But the car isn't yours.
It's your wife's!
That's none of your business!
I'll give you the Mercedes.
-I need cash.
Money. Here and now. Cash!
-Stop yelling! Stop yelling!
Don't you fake Mr. Nice to me.
You've done it many times
and you know my heart's soft.
If you don't pay me,
I'll dismantle this BMW...
I'll dismantle it
into spare parts!
You know me. You know I'll do it!
-Look at me!
I am.
Have I ever left
any bills unsettled?
Leave that now.
-Haven't I always paid you?
How much do I owe you?
-A lot. -How much?
It has accumulated over the years.
I have it written down somewhere.
Around 400 or 500 thousand.
And I cut it down.
Here's two thousand marks. Plus
a dinner with Severina for you.
What did you say?
Severina. What Severina?
Your favorite singer!
She is having a concert
on Saturday. I'll talk to Tomica.
After the concert
I'll bring her to you.
To Tomica?
-Her manager.
You'd arrange a dinner with
Severina for me?
You've saved my life
hundreds of times.
Why wouldn't I return
the favor?
But, she can't come in here.
Look at the mess.
Of course she will.
Tomica and I'll arrange it.
I suggest you take a picture
with her and hang it in here.
So that everybody will see
what a boss Gaja tefan is.
Piti.
-Piti. That's the same.
We must drink to this,
my friend.
Sit down under the grapevine.
I'll bring the best wine
I've got.
I'll take this.
What do you think?
Beautiful, isn't it?
Let's go back to work.
That's good.
More to the middle.
Where's the middle?
-Left, left.
I said to the left, to the...
Holy cow, Pavlica!
Is that alright?
-That's it. Fix it there.
What workers. Holy cow!
Severina is going to see this.
Great! Phenomenal!
-Looking good, eh?
Without a doubt.
-It's nice.
We have arrived.
This is my friend Gaja.
Hey, Lumpy.
Good morning.
-Hello. Hi.
What's up Lumpy?
You know, kid.
I can die now.
There's nothing more
I could wish for in my life.
Do you know what's this?
Severina herself.
She knows what love is.
Gaja had a rooster's breakfast
with Severina.
Generations will talk about it.
A rooster's breakfast?
What's that?
Oh, kid. You still have to
learn many a thing...
Rooster's breakfast is
sex in the morning.
It was tender and romantic.
She will remember me too,
without a doubt.
Boss? I don't know
how to tell you, but...
That thing last night...
Generations will talk about it.
I'm telling you, kid.
Boss, may I tell you something?
-Go ahead, kid.
Don't lose your temper again.
Listen to me till the end.
She's pregnant.
Is Bronja pregnant?
No. It's about Severina.
What about Severina?
That chick last night
was not Severina.
It was a hooker
from across the border.
Lepec arrange with her
to trick you.
Kid, be careful with
what you're saying.
I won't have you
regard me as a fool.
Bronja told me Lepec
set it up for you.
The hooker looks like Severina
and sings her songs in bars.
Lepec wanted to fool you.
Actually, he just wanted to see
if you'd figure it out.
Kid, listen to me.
If you're lying,
you can pack your bag.
Do you swear that what
you're saying is the truth?
I swear. Bronja told me.
I'd never make a fool of you.
What's up gang?
What was it
like last night? Good, eh?
What's that sour face for?
What's the matter?
Don't you ever step in
my house again.
Uf, that's to thank me!
Uf, that's to thank me!
I brought you a woman
dressed like Severina.
I went to look for her
over the border. For you!
Did your really think
I'd bring the real Severina?
Here, to this godforsaken place?
Do you know who is she?
She is Severina Vuckovic!
And who are you?
Gaja Pitek...
Come on, Gaja.
What's the matter with him?
He looks like a mummy.
What's the matter with him?
Doesn't he like jokes anymore?
Did you really have to?
Now you gonna hassle me too?
Have you got a lighter?
Mother fucker.
Lepec!
The door.
Wait.
Hello.
-Hi.
Sit down.
I'm glad you're here.
Yeah...
This is for you.
Oh, nice.
Um, good.
Grapes.
I'll have a bite. It's good.
I'll have more later.
How is it going?
Have you got work?
It's alright.
Take care of the workroom
as if it was yours.
When I come home
it all has to be shipshape.
Screws and tools
all in apple-pie order.
A mechanic
is like a mathematician.
He calculates it all, he defines it
all. But with women it's like that:
Even if your heart
belongs to one woman,
you've got to save a little piece
to yourself. I know that very well.
I was with the right woman
only once in my lifetime.
But I was left empty-handed.
I'm telling you. If a mechanic too
tolerant with a woman,
He is also too tolerant
with his screws.
Then it starts leaking,
and it leaks and leaks.
You don't notice it at first.
One day you realize that
everything's flooded.
And the machine
doesn't work anymore.
But it's too late then.
If you listen to me, you won't
have to worry about anything.
You'll have a roof over your head,
and you'll live happily.
Yeah, that's
the way of the world.
I've seen too much
of everything... in my life.
Oh, Djurica boy.
A cup of coffee?
-No, thanks.
Djuro, my boy...
Life's not a bed of roses.
Times don't look rosy,
and my finances don't either.
I really don't know
what to do.
I've been calculating.
I've been adding up
the money we make
and you guys.
But it doesn't work out.
It's like I had
three pieces of bread
and four mouth to feed.
You don't get a piece each.
So, I had to make a decision.
I know it's not easy
to get a job nowadays.
Nobody has to tell me that.
But, I had to make a choice.
My philosophy is that,
well, Stankovic has two kids.
So, um... well,
he's got to stay.
Podbregar has just got married.
Puksic is building the house.
He spends it all on bricks
and to pay off the loan.
But you're young.
You don't have a family yet,
not even a girlfriend.
You don't have an
anchor to keep you here.
A young man is like a cat. A
cat always lands on its paws.
You'll work your way out. This
is what I was trying to work out.
Well.. do you get it?
I mean, to hell with it.
You can think about me
whatever you like.
I was never stingy.
I didn't wanna fuck you up.
I got you a contact
from a friend of mine.
A truly good man,
and a great expert.
You can learn a lot
from him if you want.
But, that's up to you.
This is how it is.
What I was saying...
Are you sure
you don't want coffee?
This machine makes
really delicious coffee.
ROOSTER'S BREAKFAST
Car Repair Gaja
Good dog, good dog...
To hell with the bitch.
She never barks at strangers.
You stupid dog.
She barks at her master and
wags her tail at strangers.
Go to your doghouse!
I'm Djuro.
I called the other day.
-I'm Gaja.
Radmilovic sent me here.
Want some?
-Oh, thanks.
You're from Maribor, right?
-Yes.
Sit down.
Tell me, how's TAM doing?
What are you staring at?
TAM, the car factory.
It is still working or
has it gone to hell?
It's decaying.
Of course it's decaying!
Politicians don't give a damn.
They don't give a damn
about anything that
was good in ex-Yugoslavia.
You weren't born yet
when I was repairing cars
in that car factory.
Everywhere in ex-Yugoslavia
people knew me.
All the way down
to Kragujevac.
Those were the days
when Tito was still alive.
When Tito was around,
God was with us.
Look at our politicians today!
They're a bunch of cowards.
Tito was a real man.
He quieten the Russians,
and tricked the Americans.
He said "nijet" to Stalin, and
got us money from the Yankees.
I don't remember Tito.
I know.
That's why you think
this is none of your business!
But, it is!
If Tito was alive, you wouldn't
have to look for work.
In Yugoslavia they'd roll out
the red carpet for you.
Workers were applauded at.
I remember coming
to Sarajevo once.
They all awaited me.
Directors, engineers...
A brass band played
on my arrival.
A brass band?
-Brass, yes.
Don't you know what a brass
band is? -Brass instruments...
And they roasted an ox.
Not one, hundreds of them.
Not hundreds really,
but ten for sure.
Then the girls came
and we drank
and we sang till the dawn.
-Listen...
You said you've got
work for me.
I just wanna know I didn't
come here in vain.
Listen, kid.
If you wanna work for me,
you'll have to learn
when you open your mouth
and when you keep it shut.
Remember this:
If you fight for politics,
you'll fight in vain.
But if you fight for food
or for a girl, then
I'll be the first
to start the fight.
I could make you an expert.
An expert!
It wasn't your choice to come
here in this godforsaken place.
It was the idea of those
who sacked you.
Are you gonna sit here without
a word or you gonna stay?
You gonna take me?
-I'll take you.
Look at the dog,
she's smelling you.
What do you want, um?
You'll feed her when I
forget where my home is.
And you'll answer the phone.
Look at her:
"Gib mir ein kuss".
I think she understands German.
I've got to give her a treat.
What needs to be done here?
-The belt.
Right, the belt.
What was the last time
you were here?
You've got to come here
every year, man.
What about the exhaust?
-Uf, it's cracking, too...
To hell with it!
Holy cow...
I've got two.
Has anyone got more?
Put the cards away.
Who dealt the cards?
I'm gonna play
if nobody else is.
What did I get?
Oh, nice! I'll take that.
Look at him. He goes to bed
at dusk and gets up the last.
Morning.
-This is my friend, Zobar.
He's the best dentist around.
Hi.
-I'm Djuro.
How is it?
-Djuro.
No, I mean how is it going?
How are you?
Gaja says you're from Maribor.
-Yeah.
Whereabouts? -Studenci,
near the sports hall.
I went to high school there.
I lived there five years.
I got my first job
on Kopitarjeva Street.
Railway Health Centre.
-At the post office.
Yes, at the train station.
Those were grat times.
We were young and handsome.
Oh, and we fucked a lot.
It was different than today.
The girls were chasing us.
Now we have to chase them. Right,
Gaja? -Yeah, it was like that.
Take some, kid.
It's all homemade.
Hello, Malacic!
Are you working?
-Working, working...
Wanna come in for a drink?
I can't right now. Later.
-Alright.
Good afternoon.
Where have you been,
my dear, pretty Ana?
What's up, Gaja?
Djuro, this is our Ana.
-Ana, my new apprentice.
Hello.
-You found a handsome guy.
Beware of the witty fox.
She'll hug you with one hand
and stick the other right into your
pockets! -Beware of Gaja, boy.
If you do as he does,
you'll have your throat wet
and you wallet always empty.
We know this is true, right Gaja?
Oh, Ana. Pour us drinks.
It's boiling hot outside.
What will you have, guys?
A spritzer for me.
-A beer.
In twenty-nine days
you'll get your first paycheck.
Here you go guys...
-Thanks, Ana.
Now that you're mine, kid,
you've got a guarantee
in all sacred places.
You still owe me
for the last month.
Shut up, you wicked witch!
You steal money from us,
the poor.
Listen to me, kid.
Treat a woman like a wolf
treats a fox.
Grab her by her throat
and let her go.
Grab her by her throat again
and let her go.
I had all sorts of chicks
coming up to me.
Beware of chicks who'd rather
get laid than pay for repair.
They'll always come up
with something broken.
But they can't pay
one hour of your work.
Some chicks would
get laid for a winshield.
Even if you charge them,
they'd come back
and catch you in their trap.
And you're done.
Yeah, well, to hell...
Only once, I went through this
and it'll never happen again.
It's over.
It's better to be single.
-No! Listen to me, kid.
The best chicks are those
who cause crashes.
A crash fuels a woman
like a lightning strike.
The chicks who cause crashes
are really something special.
This is how it is for sure.
They don't give a damn.
Say whatever you want.
Hi!
Hey, Bronja! What's up?
You can see it for yourself.
-Mhm.
That driver was supposed
to give me way. -Mhm, I see.
You did a good job
to this piece of metal.
Leave her, bitch.
-Go away, dog.
Are you alright?
-Yes, I'm fine.
Cveto is out of his mind.
If it happen to him,
he'd say it was god's will.
It's a good thing you
crashed the car.
I'm gonna make a new
one out of it!
Cveto got so enraged as if
it was a write-off.
If I can still drive it,
it's not a write-off, right?
No, it's not.
Men complicate sometimes.
-Yeah...
I'll make a cup of coffee.
-Alright.
Hey, kid! Come down!
Why the hack do you always
turn in so early?
My friends here are wondering
what are you hiding up there?
Come on down!
Look, who's here!
You're stuck up in there
like an old bat.
Boys, my new apprentice.
Sit down, kid.
Over there is Cikuta.
He's a professor of physics.
Yet he can't weld a bulb.
You don't weld a bulb,
you change the bulb.
Oh, I didn't know that...
The one who's laughing
is Pavlica.
Gaja says you're
a good worker.
You're from Maribor?
-Yeah.
Stop laughing...
Lepec, old bastard!
What's up?
Smart asses!
Here's something
for your scorched throats.
How is it going, professor?
Are you done with lessons?
You must be the new
first assistant to Gaja.
I'm gonna make him
an expert.
did you take a look
at my Mercedes? -Yes.
How much damage?
-Just some curved metal.
A piece of cake
for an expert like me.
I can make you
a new car out of it.
Fucking chick! This is her
second crash this year.
And she drives only
up and down the town.
I would never employ a chick.
Chick's place isn't
behind the wheel.
Can you imagine a chick
in your transport park?
Driving a truck, wearing
high heels? Holy cow!
Are you going to open
this bottle or not?
Kid, go get us glasses,
from above the stove.
Go, go...
I've got Bracko's wine.
Wanna try?
Oh, no.
-Alright, I will.
Morning...
Morning...
-Morning.
Gaja is still sleeping.
Last night was a long one.
My husband got up on the
wrong side of the bed, too.
Could you...
Boss, hey boss.
What? - You've got a visit.
Morning, Gaja.
-Bronja.
Morning.
-What's up, Bronja?
We haven't started
with your Mercedes, yet.
Lepec has to bring
the spare parts first.
It's gonna take us
a day or two.
I didn't expect you
to have it done. It's just...
I'd borrow your car.
I must go to Austria.
Oh, no, Bronja.
-Please, Gaja.
What if you crash
my old Yugo, too?
I wouldn't ask you
if it weren't so urgent.
My friend's sick. I promised
her to get pills from Austria.
Don't boss me.
I won't let women boss me.
Light up my cigarette, kid.
Only once a woman bossed me.
I threw her out of my house.
Your apprentice could take me.
-No way! The kid's must work!
We work from early morning
till the evening!
No time to shirk work. -Come on.
-The kid hasn't got the passport.
Sure I have it!
-No, you don't!
Don't be such a bore, Gaja.
It's only a ten-minute drive.
It's gonna take us
less than an hour.
Women! To hell with you!
What was God thinking
to create a woman?
Take her to goddamn Austria.
And bump into the first trffic-light...
You can't drive anyway.
I don't have to put up
with any of this anymore.
Stupid dog, to hell with you...
Could I get a smoke, please?
Thanks.
The lighter, too.
Thanks.
It's hot, isn't it?
-Yeah...
Do you often go to Austria?
-Quite often.
Do you go to Austria
or to get the pills?
Don't hold it against me,
but I need some silence now.
No worries.
I've got to drive anyway.
I've got a headache.
-I'm sorry.
Here, fresh up. It's so hot.
-Thanks.
I'm sorry for that earlier.
I was so angry.
First I crashed the car,
then those pills...
I promised my friend to bring
them, so I really had to.
No worries.
You don't have to
worry about the car.
Don't use the polite form.
-Oh, right.
It's ok. Finish the cigarette.
Your husband has already
gone to get the spare parts.
The car's gonna be ready
in a couple of days.
It's great that Gaja has you,
you'll speed up his work pace.
Gaja knows how to work.
He does, but he's never
in a hurry.
Shit! Oh, I'm sorry...
Step on it, step on it!
Turn it off.
Have you changed
the belt yet? -No.
Do it. Clean the car
and then we're done.
Hello, Gaja.
-Hello.
I brought the spare parts.
-Oh, good.
Where's the kid?
-Djuro! Take the spare parts in.
Where are they?
-In the boot.
Hi, Bronja.
-Hello.
Wanna coffee?
-Is it fresh?
Yes, perfect for the skin.
Lepec, co you want some too?
-No, thanks.
It's hot like hell!
Fucking Hungary
took me all day.
Why is my Mercedes
still parked outside?
THe kid and I will take
it in today. -Alright.
Wanna some brandy?
-No.
Coffee?
-No.
Lepec, listen to me.
You've got a pretty nice
place here, Gaja.
This time I can't
make it for free.
It's never been for free!
I've always paid!
When my electricity
had been cut off or
when I begged you on my knees.
Then you paid.
This time you gonna
pay me in advance.
Payment in advance
is out of question.
I brought the spare parts,
you gonna repair the car.
Then I'll pay.
You know how it works.
Pay me in advance
or park your Mercedes
in your living room.
You're wining like an old bat.
What's the matter?
If you make a fuss about it,
you can keep it until winter!
Mind your language! -Pay him
in advance for peace's sake.
You shouldn't have had
the car in the first place.
You bother me all the time.
Cveto this, Cveto that...
I drove around in Hungary
like insane the whole day!
Why do you need the car anyway?
To drive up and down the town?
-I've got things to do.
I wonder what thins.
-Important thins.
Do you see what
is she doing to me?
Stop it! Both of you.
We gonna take care of the car!
Thanks. -You're thanking him?
-Who's gonna pay for the repair,
me or him?
-If you don't pay this time,
I'll never lay my eyes on you.
You can find yourself
another mechanic.
Goodbye, Gaja. Bronja,
pack your stuff.
I mean it this time!
Come here.
Good girl...
Are you hungry, kid?
Pavlica brought Macedonian
lamb. Straight from the hills.
Prepare everything
for roasting.
We have to find some wood
to start the fire.
God, is this sheep heavy.
Of course it is. Did you
think I'd bring some shit?
Whose turn is it? -Pavlica,
it's yours! Go to hell!
You don't know how to play.
Why did you throw in the fool?
I ran aout of triumphs. Fuck you!
You gave them the heart!
I didn't have the heart
and you stole triumphs!
Why do you play if you
don't have the triumphs?
You took all my triumphs, jerk!
And my last king, too.
We've got the kings.
-My ass you've got kings.
Here, I've got king of hearts.
There are twenty-one triumphs!
Twenty-two.
Twenty-one plus the fool.
The fool is twenty-second.
Kiss my ass.
We both know very well
who is who here.
Yes, wed do!
Gaja is Gaja, midn you.
Pavlica, leave it.
You're a fucked up nerd!
If it weren't for my company,
you'd all rot here
in this godforsaken place.
-What did you say?
Who paid for renovation
of the town park?
You? With your workroom?
You haven't got money for
electricity or for a spritzer.
You haven't got a thing!
Mother fucker! I can cover you
with my money!
Fucking political bastard!
I'm gonna throw this glass
in your head.
He said I didn't have
for a spritzer!
You lost it guys.
It's only a game. Sit down!
Only if Pavlica apologizes.
Pavlica, apologize.
-Mhm.
Don't you ever raise your voice
in my house again!
If you don't, I won't either.
That's the way to speak.
Who's dealing cards? -I am.
Let's play our heads off!
Oh, look at him!
Are you done for today?
Ah, to hell!
Pour me some schnapps.
What's the matter?
-Uf...
My audience is a bunch
of stupid cows.
I'm doing my best, and they
stuff themselves with food.
I play the best music there is,
but they only sit and eat.
Since days of Yugoslavia
people don't know
what a good party is.
It's like I'm playing
to dead people.
Nobody cries,
nobody drinks a toast,
nobody sings from the heart.
Dead people.
I'm playing hits of
Croatian sex-bomb, Severina.
Her songs are heartbreaking!
Yet nobody cries. Fuckers!
Why don't you play her
songs for us?
For you?
-Yeah, for us.
Aren't we good enough audience?
Play it here?
-Yes, here.
I can't play under these
conditions.
There is no electricity.
-Of course there is!
I need cables for synthesizer,
for mixer, for loudspeakers...
I've got cables.
How many meters do you need?
Ten?
-Well, um...
Twenty? Have we got twenty?
-We do.
Do you really want me to?
Yes!
A concertino for your friends.
Well?
-Alright.
Great! Did you see that?
Leave this one.
I'm going to take it.
Take the loudspeakers.
Put the bench there.
Is it 220 volts?
-Yes, it is.
I don't want my fuse
to go to hell.
Put it here so that
we'll have a good view.
Watch out!
Are you drunk?
Are we done?
-Just a second.
Fuck this acoustics
it's no good.
It's great.
Is electricity supply alright?
-Yes.
And now the very best
of my program for you.
May I?
Why are your eyes
So tired and sad?
I can't see in them
The shine of blue sea.
Forget about gloomy days,
And give me your hand.
Once again tonight,
When the Moon's still young
I wanna hear you say
I love you.
I wanna love you,
I wanna make you happy.
I'm gonna sing for you,
I'm gonna be
your only songbird.
This is fantastic!
What do you say, boys?
Where did you find this song?
Oh, it's nothing. -What's
the singer's name? -Severina.
Severina Vuckovic.
-This is so beautiful.
Come watch my performance at
the health spa. -Alright, I will.
I've got two times four
hundred watts there.
No! Sing that one.
You'll sing another one later.
Listen everybody.
Why are your eyes
So tired and sad?
I can't see in them
The shine of blue sea.
Forget about gloomy days,
And give me your hand.
Boss, the varnisher called.
-Yeah?
To see when are we picking up
the bumper for the Mercedes.
Shall I go get it?
-Mhm.
You'll go get the LPs.
You mean discs?
-What discs?
You'll get the LPs.
-For the Mercedes?
Stupid kid! You'll get me
Severina's albums.
Here's the money.
Bring all they've got.
From the town?
-Yeah.
I think it's difficult
to get LPs nowadays.
Cassettes or CDs perhaps.
-Just buy them.
Did you hear Malacic singing?
Oh, lord!
I must find out who
this woman is!
She's gotta be good
if her songs are so great.
God, was Malacic singing...
Why are you eyes
so tired and sad...
Bon appetite!
-Oh, thanks.
Sorry...
-What are you doing here?
I go shopping along
our avenue every day.
Is it tasty?
-I think so. Want some?
No, thanks.
-Come on...
I don't know...
-Come on.
I'll have a portion
if you gonna have one more.
Two more portions here. Without
onions for me. -The same for me.
Good afternoon.
-Hello.
I wonder how is he able
to walk today.
Yesterday he was dead drunk.
Yeah?
-Loaded.
He was my teacher
in high school.
What was he teaching?
-He still is. Physics.
Physics. Brrr...
No, his classes
were never problematic.
He was always a bit merry,
so he was in a good mood.
He'd let us all pass.
-Mhm...
During tests, he'd doze off,
so we cheated freely.
He's a soft-hearted man.
-He is, isn't he?
People say he drinks because
his wife bothers him.
I don't know. Though
she looks like a witch.
Here it is.
-Thanks.
You can take this away.
Bon appetite again.
-The same to you.
Want a drink?
-No, thanks.
Can I have a sip of yours?
-Sure.
Thanks.
Do you hear, kid?
-What?
Do you hear her?
-I do, boss.
This is her. Look at her.
-She looks good.
Sit down, kid.
You've always been deaf
and you gonna stay deaf.
But remember this:
If a mechanic doesn't recognize
a nightingale's song,
he hasn't got a good ear
for a car's machine either.
You haven't got a clue
what a woman is.
Take some. -No, thanks.
-You're all skin and bone.
Listen to me.
I got a call
from Sarajevo in 1975.
Something cracked up
in the production.
I was the only one
who could fix it.
There was no machine
that my hands couldn't repair.
But, that's not the point.
I'm there. We go for dinner.
We drink and have a good time.
Directors, big chiefs...
And then... She Appears.
Jelena. A singer to blow
your mind away.
She was that kind of a woman
...Never mind.
Her voice made your tears
run through your throat.
We sit there.
Important chiefs
and me, unimportant nobody.
They're drooling over her,
but she stares at me.
She didn't even glance at them.
In one moment
she gets off the stage.
She walks towards me
and she sings.
She comes up to me.
She bows.
I close my eyes.
And she kisses me.
On my forehead.
Among all the big chiefs
she chose me.
Can you imagine how they
looked at me?
Since then nobody called me
Gaja or Piti anymore.
They called me
"The one who Jelena kissed".
And then?
-What?
Well, did you get
any action?
Oh, kid.
You've always been a fool
and you gonna stay a fool.
That Jelena kissed me...
That was the most beautiful
moment in my whole life.
Yeah...
Why are you all dressed up?
Yesterday I ran into
a friend of mine.
I thought I'd go for a beer.
-Sure, go.
Boss...
Oh, right! You need money.
Here. Wait... There.
Thanks. I'm not gonna be late.
How come you've got
so much time off?
I don't know.
Aren't you working?
-I don't have to...
It's not that I don't want to,
but Cveto and stuff...
Are you a loner?
-Yes.
You?
-Me too.
It doesn't mean I don't
have a company in my head.
When I was a kid, my parents
took me to a psychologist.
Because of my imaginary friends.
Then I started hiding them.
When did they disappear?
-What do you mean?
When did they go away?
-I don't get it.
They're still here. Can't you see
them? There. They are there.
Walk on a bit.
I've got to speak to them.
Good afternoon, everybody!
Pavlica, my friend!
You know girls aren't gonna
run after you anymore.
You're fifty now.
You'll be heading to
St. Peter's soon.
Here, we brought you this.
So that you'll make schnapps.
Make sure you gonna
share it with your friends.
Alright?
-Sure.
Happy birthday.
Attention, please.
Please.
Our dear Pavlica,
my dear Ivan.
We love you!
W wish you
a happy birthday!
Let's take our glasses
and sing together!
For he's a jolly good fellow,
For he's a jolly good fellow,
For he's a jolly good fellow,
which nobody can't deny.
Gaja, what's that?
-Don't touch it.
This is Severina, a singer.
I've got all her tapes.
I cut out her picture.
The other night Malacic played
her hits at my place.
Oh, yeah?
-She's got a voice...
I only think of her and
I get goose bumps.
I see you know
what's good stuff.
I know her in person.
You're pulling my leg.
Her manager Tomica
is a friend of mine.
W had a dinner in Esplanada.
I paid for everybody.
Her manager just sat there.
-Oh, Lepec. You know Severina!
What is she like?
I wanna know everything.
Go, dance a polka!
Thank you.
Gaja! Especially for you:
Severina!
Bravo, Malacic!
Everybody who's in love,
go to the dance floor.
Let's put it here.
Go away. Be careful.
I don't want it to fall on you.
I told you twice.
Isn't that enough?
Go away!
Hey, Djuro!
-Hello.
What happened?
-Lepec crashed his BMW.
It seems like it's God's will
that he crashes all his cars.
What about Lepec?
Is he alright?
I took him to the hospital.
They kept him under observation.
He got few bruises.
He's gonna survive.
What's up?
-It got stranded.
Really?
-Yes.
I'm gonna get a panel.
Fucking experts.
A fast car is no good, if you
don't know how to drive it.
Finish up the cake.
-I don't want the cake.
But you like this one.
It's chocolate one.
Would you rather have
an ice-cream? -No. This is ok.
Eat it up.
-I wanna go home.
How is Lepec doing?
-Good.
Yeah...
Sara, finish the cake.
I got it for you to eat it up.
Why did you throw it down?
It's nothing. Here you go.
-Thanks.
Are you free today?
-No.
I'm picking up Cveto
from the hospital.
What's the matter, sweetie?
She's not like that usually.
I wanna go home.
-You wanna go home. Alright.
When then?
-What?
When are you free?
Don't know.
Soon.
Let's go.
Oh, Slovenes...
You're really something.
You're happy only when
you can save some change.
No, not really...
-It's true.
They put up quite a performance.
In a trio. -Yeah, I know.
Trio "The Three Chords".
-They play folk music...
Look, the mudguard,
this is all brand new.
I fixed the brakes and all.
I'm gonna polish your BMW, too.
It'll look like a brand new.
But, I'd like you
to pay me today.
Just say how much it is,
and I'll pay.
A realistic price
for work and material...
Overcharge me!
Say more than it was.
You know I'm loaded.
Guys, did you see what Gaja
made out of my Mercedes?
He made a Jaguar.
We have to celebrate that.
I invite you all to my Havana.
Did you have an apparition of
Virgin Mary in the car crash?
You'll have several
apparitions in Havana...
Yes, let's go to Havana!
-To Havana, of course.
Once in a lifetime a man meets a
master like you, Gaja.
When was the last time you took a
shower, man? Here, take my hand.
Our handshake should go down
in history. -I'm embarrassed now.
Embarrassed?
Come on, pour us a drink.
Have a drink, guys.
I'm gonna get changed.
I can't go with you.
I've got a gig.
What did you say, Roki?
-I'm playing greatest hits.
But we're going, right guys?
-Of course, we are.
Let's go get the hookers!
Leave that. Get dressed.
We're going to Havana.
What Havana?
-To Havana.
Don't you know what Havana is?
-A tavern?
Lepec invited us on his chicks.
Go get changed.
I'm not going, boss.
-What did you say?
I'm not going there.
-Oh, yes, you are.
Where did you find this one?
I haven't seen her before.
She's from Ukraine.
-Oh, from Ukraine...
What's her name?
Natalija.
-Natalija...
I want her tonight.
You can't get her.
-Why not?
Because she's new.
New girls get one week
to acclimatize.
Come on, Lepec.
-I can't.
Here are 200 German marks
just let me have her.
You gonna get another girl.
The best girls are the Czechs.
But I want Natalija.
You can't get Natalija! You'll
get a Czech girl. Alright?
Alright.
You gonna let me have
Natalija next time?
Of course.
Here you go. This is the girl.
Arrange one for me, too.
-No problem. Pay first.
What?
-Pay first.
You want me to pay you?
Holy cow! I fixed your car.
You have to pay me!
Holy cow...
You didn't pay in advance,
you didn't pay for my work.
Listen, Gaja...
That's not the same.
Don't mix these two things up.
This house has its own rules.
You can get dead drunk here,
but you pay to get a fuck.
You brought me in here.
What were you thinking?
I'm gonna sit here and
drool over the chicks?
You're right, Lepec.
What is right is right.
The one who can pay,
the one can fuck.
Fucker! You won't
get you willy up anyway.
I'll give you a discount
on your Mercedes.
I don't have any money on me.
I'm gonna give you a fifty percent
discount, just don't let me fly solo.
I wish I could,
but my hands are tied.
Such is policy of the house.
Come on!
Let me have a fuck.
I'm telling you my hands
are tied. Such is the policy.
Oh, come on.
-I can't.
I'll give you even
better discount.
I'll give you
a hundred percent discount.
I'll give it to you gratis,
just let me fuck tonight.
My Mercedes?
-Here's my hand.
You're giving me
my Mercedes for free?
Guys, we're leaving...
Is that it, Gaja?
-Take my word for it.
Are you happy now?
-Yes.
God, is she tall..
What about you two?
Don't you want some fun?
Djuro, do you have a girl?
No.
-Go ahead then.
It's on the house.
-No, thanks.
God bless, Piti.
-Hello.
If you've got only bills,
you can take them away.
It's a telegram.
A telegram for David Slavinec.
He lives here?
Yes. He's my apprentice.
-He has to sign.
Really?
-Yes.
Djuro! You've got to
sign a telegram.
What will you drink?
-Nothing.
A schnapps?
-No. I'm driving.
Good afternoon.
-Good afternoon.
Here's the telegram.
David Slavinec.
You're new here, right?
-Yeah.
Nice...
Sing here. And here.
Ups, sorry.
-It happens. Even to the best.
It's nice here, isn't it?
-Yes.
Alright. Well, goodbye.
-Goodbye.
Have a nice day.
Whose apartment is this?
-It's from a friend of mine.
From a very good
friend of mine.
She's the only one
who knows all my secrets.
Did you like my surprise?
-Mhm.
Hold me.
I wish we could be
like this forever.
We can be.
-No. The timing's not right.
Like always. For me
the timing's never right.
What do you mean?
I wasn't even born
at the right time.
My father was a Montenegrin.
He ran away before I was born.
What about your mom?
She hanged herself
in the ninth month.
Pregnant? No way.
That's horrible!
Who brought you up?
-Foster parents.
How long did you live
with them?
Until I was eighteen.
I couldn't wait to escape.
Poor you!
Poor you.
Tell me something.
-What?
Something you've never
told anybody yet.
Do you remember our trip
to Austria?
No... -Oh, come on"
-Sure I do.
The pills I bought there
were for me.
What kind of pills are they?
Nobody knows me there, so I can
buy stuff. -What kind of pills?
For my nerves. I've been
taking them for six years.
After Sara's birth,
things got complicated.
Cveto and I got detached.
I suffered from panic attacks.
All together, I guess.
Then I stated with the pills.
Better that than alcohol, eh?
Since we're together
I'm not taking them anymore.
So, I'm your pill now?
You're a much better drug!
I'm gonna get us
something sweet.
The level of sugar in my blood
dropped drastically.
Where did you meet Lepec?
-Why are you interested in him?
Who said I was?
Cveto was older, dangerous
and handsome.
He had money and a motorbike.
Everything I wanted.
-A gold digger.
No. I had to rebel against
my parents.
They had it all arranged
for me.
What I'll study,
where I'll live...
Want some coating on top?
Yeah?
So I left everything and
went with him.
It was crazy until it lasted.
I thought it was gonna
last forever.
I could've known it
wasn't going to be like that.
His business wasn't
what I imagined either.
Here you go.
-Ups!
That's my favorite.
Hey, boys!
-Hello.
You're having a break
and the cars are waiting?
We've just sat dawn.
-Sit down.
What do I have here?
-Don't know.
Yes or no?
You brought Severina!
Give me that!
Holy cow!
Put this soup away.
I spoke to her manager, Tomica.
I mentioned Tomica to you,
do you remember? -Yeah.
She's gonna have a concert here,
in Radgona. Where? -In our town.
Are you pulling my leg?
-No, I'm not.
You must get me a ticket.
-It's all arranged. Booked.
She's gonna have three concerts.
You'll get tired of her.
Never. What a woman!
And she sings so beautifully!
I've got all her cassettes.
Money and cigarettes.
Are we ready?
If anybody looks for me, tell them
I'll be back by the evening.
Lepec and I are going to
Hungary to get spare parts.
Gaja, do you have a passport?
-Sure I do. Why are you asking?
You furnish it by yourself?
-Yes. It's my hunting lodge.
How long are we alone?
-Till the evening for sure.
Mercedes! It's my Mercedes.
You should have checked
your passport...
Fucking shit! They said
they were going to Hungary.
Where can I get out?
-You can't.
Perhaps they forgot
something and they'll leave.
Thank you.
You gonna give me
some money for gas.
What? Did they leave?
-Yes. Lepec's gone.
What about Gaja?
-He's in the courtyard.
He won't come up here
for sure.
We'll wait here for a while.
He'll go to a bar or something.
He's never come up here.
-Okay.
It's gonna be alright.
-Hey, kid! Djuro!
Djuro!
Oh, holy cow! I'm sorry.
We arrived to the border
and the customs officer
found out my passport
was no longer valid.
I couldn't convince him
we're just going to get
a couple of screws.
I couldn't risk my work
for some screws.
But I couldn't get
these screws here.
When I came home
I see the workroom's open,
the house's open,
the kid's gone.
I thought to myself
he's either in a bar
or he's gone to doze off.
But now I see you two here.
Shit!
Listen, boss. I...
Lepec's wife.
Congratulations.
You screwed his wife.
You can't change that.
Of all the women in the world
you picked up her.
Look, boss...
What are you laughing at? Hm?
Listen to me carefully.
A man never pisses over
a friend's fence.
Let alone fuck his wife.
What if he smells something?
Boss, you don't understand.
We're... -What don't I understand?
It's none of your business. This is
my problem and Bronja's problem.
If you don't say a word,
everything's gonna be alright.
Look who's talking!
You're acting like a professor.
You gonna give me
lectures on psychology?
Great! If you're so foolish!
I'm not gonna get into debt
for your funeral, my kid.
They'll bury you
on public expenses.
Or they won't bury you at all.
It's none of my business.
Holy cow!
Who is concerned about me?
Name one person who has ever
been concerned about Gaja!
Nobody gave shit for me!
Why would I give a shit?
I'm not gonna give a shit!
Where do you drive to work?
What? Oh, you mean now.
Through Austria.
What cards have you got?
Good or bad?
Like that...
Tell the kid to come down
so we can play in four.
Let him be. He worked hard
today. He's tired.
Tired? Is he?
Hey, Malacic. Come here.
Now we can play cards in four.
Have you heard what happened?
What happened?
-There was a raid in Havana.
I didn't know.
Total mess, I'm telling you.
The police broke in.
They arrested Lepec and Zobar.
-Zobar? -Yes.
Why him?
-He raped a girl from Ukraine.
Hold your horses.
How can you rape a hooker?
Oh, fuck that.
Was that this new, this young
girl, um... Natalija?
Yes, her.
He took her to the room,
and she wouldn't fuck him.
Zobar totally lost it.
He bit off her clitoris.
What? He bit her clitoris off
using his teeth.
Really?
-Yes.
Mother fucker.
-Holy...
What did you say he did?
With his teeth
he bit her clitoris off.
The girl has been taken
to the intensive care.
Disgusting bastard!
She's gonna be crippled
for the rest of her life.
It can't be that bad.
-Of course it is.
No one should beat a woman
even if she's a hooker.
I'm afraid Zobar
is in deep trouble.
I heard he's under suspicion
of being a pedophile.
Of a what?
Speak the language
I understand. Holy cow!
Pedophilia.
-Kids...
Are you out of your mind?
-No way!
I spoke to a friend who works
at the police station.
He said they've been
watching him for some time.
Supposedly, he waits for girls
in front of the school.
He talks sweet to them
and then... To hell!
Disgusting mother fucker!
He's never gonna step into
my house again!
If he shows up, I'll weld
his balls on the wall.
I swear.
Perhaps it would be right
we stood by him now.
Pedophilia is a disease.
It can be treated.
Disease, rubbish!
-It's proven scientifically.
How would you feel
if he attacked your little girl?
And stuck his thing in her, um?
Watch your head.
Holy Cow!
Have you read this, kid?
He bit off her clitoris.
Shocking news.
A man observed little girls
in front of primary school -
He tried to lure them into
going for a drink with him.
School officials gave brief
and reserved comments.
Exactly. Nobody knows
anything about it now.
Boss...
-Um?
Look, who's here...
Don't you dare step out.
Close the door!
I said close the door.
Get out of my sight!
I said get lost!
Goddamn pedophile!
How dare you?!
You disgraced the whole town!
How does he dare come here?
What did he come for, pervert?
Hail Mary!
Goddamn!
That bastard gassed himself
only to get on our nerves.
Only to bug us.
But we won't be bugged.
I won't be bugged.
I swear, I won't be bugged.
I don't give a shit about him.
If I had found him,
I would have left him rot
there in the wood.
I'd laugh at him
Now he's laughing at us.
Perhaps one of us should
say few words at the funeral.
Who are we to philosophize about
life? -You can't talk like that.
He was a friend of ours.
-That's the way people do.
He was a man after all. -Zobar was
not a man. He was a spoiled brat.
He was forty-two and still lived
at his mother's. Is that a man?
He was a sucker. A chump.
-Come on, boss. -What?
What time's the funeral at?
-At three o'clock.
What's the time now?
-Half past two.
We should go.
-Yeah, let's go.
Where's Sara?
-She's sleeping.
When is Lepec coming back?
-Tomorrow.
Lepec! Comrade!
Where have you been?
-Hello, Gaja.
When did you come back?
-This morning.
You don't look very well.
What's the matter?
Have you got some brandy?
-Sure I do.
I've got a plum brandy
that'll blow your brain out.
What's the matter?
I can see something's
very wrong.
When it rains, it pours...
What's this?
-A lighter.
Yes, so?
-I found it in our bedroom.
Nobody has ever smoked
in our bedroom.
And we've never
used a plastic lighter.
I don't get it.
-There's nothing to understand.
The bitch is fucking
with another man.
What are you talking about!
That's not the proof.
There comes the time when
you don't need any evidence.
And you're not looking
for any.
Have you ever seen her
with another man?
Never.
Between me and you. Have you
ever seen her with another man?
I', telling you I didn't.
I never go anywhere.
I'm fixing your car
with the kid.
I'm gonna kill
the mother fucker.
And the fucking bitch.
Oh, I almost forgot.
The ticket for
Severina's concert.
You brought me the ticket.
Thank you.
How much is it?
-Forget about it.
Thank you so much.
I'll never forget that.
Look at this! Holy cow...
Pour me another one.
-Sure.
Take it. Come on,
take it! -No.
What now? Are you a chick?
Do you want him to kill you?
-Of course not.
Take it then!
-No.
Won't you defend yourself?
-No.
Sit down.
Foolish kid!
You've got to defend yourself.
If you don't kill him, he'll kill you.
-What's the matter with you?
What's the matter with you?
Defend yourself.
Be like the partisans were.
Be like, like...
What are you laughing at?
Be like Bonnie and Clyde.
Have you watched the film?
You haven't watched it, eh?
I watched it.
Warren Beauty was in it,
a good actor.
And that blond chick.
What's her name?
I can't remember.
Something in F -...
Faydonnaway.
Yes, that's right.
I was the same age then
as you.
I took a girl to the cinema
to watch this film in color!
I asked her for ages
to take off her bra.
And to come with me
to empty a cashbox.
But she wouldn't.
She wouldn't do a thing.
You've got a chick
who would do things.
That's why you've got
to listen to me.
I've seen many
dirty things in my life.
It's better you die with her
this morning
than crawl alone in the world
and complain all your life.
That's why I'm telling you.
Take this gun.
Take it.
-No.
What are you afraid of?
Djuro, where's your boss?
-I think he's in the shower.
What the fuck!
Gaja! Where are you?
We're gonna be late!
Ready? Let's go boys!
Gaja! -What now?
-What's this stain? -Where?
Oh, fuck!
That's not funny.
Let's go, let's go!
We're late!
I'm not drinking tonight.
Watch out. Don't spill
ti over me.
Where are you going?
-To the toilet.
You mustn't miss
the first song!
The first song
is always the best.
I'm speaking from experience.
In the name of the organizer
I'd like to welcome you here.
I wish you
a pleasant evening.
But before we begin
with the concert,
I'd ask the driver who
parked their car
on the emergency driveway
to remove the vehicle.
License plate is: MS JI237.
Immediately, please.
Why are your eyes
So tired and sad?
I can't see in them
The shine of blue sea.
Forget about gloomy days,
And give me your hand.
Tonight, once again
When the Moon's still young,
I wanna hear you say
I love you.
I wanna love you,
I wanna make you happy.
I'm gonna sing for you,
I'm gonna be
your only songbird.
When the ships stop sailing,
When the sea calms down,
I'll come into your dreams.
You'll know then
Our love's flame
Is still glowing.
Tonight, once again...
Thank you, my dear all.
This was a song
for all who are brokenhearted.
Long gone emotions.
But we are here to have fun!
Here's something to
cheer you up! Maestro!
What's up?
-Nothing.
What's that?
-Oh, leave that.
What happened?
-It wasn't the first time.
Mother fucker!
Are you alright?
What's the matter?
We've got to stop seeing
for a while.
What does it
"for a while" mean?
Just that. I can't see
you for a while.
How long? For a week?
For a month? How long?
I don't know.
Cveto feels something's
not right.
And I don't have
a clear conscience.
I'm sorry.
I hardly made it here.
Understand me, please.
Come on, Djuro.
-Leave me alone.
It's difficult enough for me.
Don't make it even harder.
I'm making it harder for you?
He beats you up and
I'm making things harder?
This is sick! What's wrong
with you? I wait all the time.
When you'll have time for me.
-I'm married and I've got a child.
You could have thought about
that earlier!
I'm sorry.
Come on, don't be like that.
Goodbye!
Please...
I said goodbye! Go out.
Go home!
Get the fuck out of here!
Did we fix your BMW?
-Respect to you, Gaja!
That's what we'll do:
see these keys?
They'll wait in my left pocket
until you pay.
There's no other way for me.
I had expenses.
Paint, electricity,...
I owe money for the material.
I worked for free.
-Gaja, I made a decision.
I'll give you the Mercedes.
But the car isn't yours.
It's your wife's!
That's none of your business!
I'll give you the Mercedes.
-I need cash.
Money. Here and now. Cash!
-Stop yelling! Stop yelling!
Don't you fake Mr. Nice to me.
You've done it many times
and you know my heart's soft.
If you don't pay me,
I'll dismantle this BMW...
I'll dismantle it
into spare parts!
You know me. You know I'll do it!
-Look at me!
I am.
Have I ever left
any bills unsettled?
Leave that now.
-Haven't I always paid you?
How much do I owe you?
-A lot. -How much?
It has accumulated over the years.
I have it written down somewhere.
Around 400 or 500 thousand.
And I cut it down.
Here's two thousand marks. Plus
a dinner with Severina for you.
What did you say?
Severina. What Severina?
Your favorite singer!
She is having a concert
on Saturday. I'll talk to Tomica.
After the concert
I'll bring her to you.
To Tomica?
-Her manager.
You'd arrange a dinner with
Severina for me?
You've saved my life
hundreds of times.
Why wouldn't I return
the favor?
But, she can't come in here.
Look at the mess.
Of course she will.
Tomica and I'll arrange it.
I suggest you take a picture
with her and hang it in here.
So that everybody will see
what a boss Gaja tefan is.
Piti.
-Piti. That's the same.
We must drink to this,
my friend.
Sit down under the grapevine.
I'll bring the best wine
I've got.
I'll take this.
What do you think?
Beautiful, isn't it?
Let's go back to work.
That's good.
More to the middle.
Where's the middle?
-Left, left.
I said to the left, to the...
Holy cow, Pavlica!
Is that alright?
-That's it. Fix it there.
What workers. Holy cow!
Severina is going to see this.
Great! Phenomenal!
-Looking good, eh?
Without a doubt.
-It's nice.
We have arrived.
This is my friend Gaja.
Hey, Lumpy.
Good morning.
-Hello. Hi.
What's up Lumpy?
You know, kid.
I can die now.
There's nothing more
I could wish for in my life.
Do you know what's this?
Severina herself.
She knows what love is.
Gaja had a rooster's breakfast
with Severina.
Generations will talk about it.
A rooster's breakfast?
What's that?
Oh, kid. You still have to
learn many a thing...
Rooster's breakfast is
sex in the morning.
It was tender and romantic.
She will remember me too,
without a doubt.
Boss? I don't know
how to tell you, but...
That thing last night...
Generations will talk about it.
I'm telling you, kid.
Boss, may I tell you something?
-Go ahead, kid.
Don't lose your temper again.
Listen to me till the end.
She's pregnant.
Is Bronja pregnant?
No. It's about Severina.
What about Severina?
That chick last night
was not Severina.
It was a hooker
from across the border.
Lepec arrange with her
to trick you.
Kid, be careful with
what you're saying.
I won't have you
regard me as a fool.
Bronja told me Lepec
set it up for you.
The hooker looks like Severina
and sings her songs in bars.
Lepec wanted to fool you.
Actually, he just wanted to see
if you'd figure it out.
Kid, listen to me.
If you're lying,
you can pack your bag.
Do you swear that what
you're saying is the truth?
I swear. Bronja told me.
I'd never make a fool of you.
What's up gang?
What was it
like last night? Good, eh?
What's that sour face for?
What's the matter?
Don't you ever step in
my house again.
Uf, that's to thank me!
Uf, that's to thank me!
I brought you a woman
dressed like Severina.
I went to look for her
over the border. For you!
Did your really think
I'd bring the real Severina?
Here, to this godforsaken place?
Do you know who is she?
She is Severina Vuckovic!
And who are you?
Gaja Pitek...
Come on, Gaja.
What's the matter with him?
He looks like a mummy.
What's the matter with him?
Doesn't he like jokes anymore?
Did you really have to?
Now you gonna hassle me too?
Have you got a lighter?
Mother fucker.
Lepec!
The door.
Wait.
Hello.
-Hi.
Sit down.
I'm glad you're here.
Yeah...
This is for you.
Oh, nice.
Um, good.
Grapes.
I'll have a bite. It's good.
I'll have more later.
How is it going?
Have you got work?
It's alright.
Take care of the workroom
as if it was yours.
When I come home
it all has to be shipshape.
Screws and tools
all in apple-pie order.
A mechanic
is like a mathematician.
He calculates it all, he defines it
all. But with women it's like that:
Even if your heart
belongs to one woman,
you've got to save a little piece
to yourself. I know that very well.
I was with the right woman
only once in my lifetime.
But I was left empty-handed.
I'm telling you. If a mechanic too
tolerant with a woman,
He is also too tolerant
with his screws.
Then it starts leaking,
and it leaks and leaks.
You don't notice it at first.
One day you realize that
everything's flooded.
And the machine
doesn't work anymore.
But it's too late then.
If you listen to me, you won't
have to worry about anything.
You'll have a roof over your head,
and you'll live happily.
Yeah, that's
the way of the world.
I've seen too much
of everything... in my life.
