Filantropica
|
| 00:00:24 |
Once, there was a city |
| 00:00:26 |
whose inhabitants |
| 00:00:29 |
Between them, |
| 00:00:31 |
They were the middle class. |
| 00:00:47 |
PHILANTROPIQUE |
| 00:01:51 |
Specially for Mr. Relu the Baron, |
| 00:02:59 |
A very good evening to all of you! |
| 00:03:05 |
Hope you liked the show... |
| 00:03:08 |
Very much. |
| 00:03:27 |
Excuse me... |
| 00:03:28 |
Could you pay the bill now? |
| 00:03:32 |
If you need anything else, |
| 00:03:36 |
There must be a mistake here... |
| 00:03:40 |
Impossible, Sir. |
| 00:03:43 |
Check it yourself! |
| 00:03:44 |
3,200,000... |
| 00:03:49 |
We'll check it together, no problem! |
| 00:03:51 |
You've had: |
| 00:03:55 |
one foie gras 280, one soufflé 330, |
| 00:03:57 |
French champagne, 1,800,000, |
| 00:04:00 |
Excuse me... Moving on. Chateaubriand |
| 00:04:04 |
Pinot Noir 500,000. |
| 00:04:06 |
Add ice creams and coffees: |
| 00:04:10 |
That's not counting Miss Laura, |
| 00:04:15 |
Excuse me, |
| 00:04:19 |
Restaurant prices, Sir, |
| 00:04:23 |
only they're per 100 grams. |
| 00:04:29 |
Excuse us. |
| 00:04:34 |
What if I said I haven't got enough? |
| 00:04:37 |
Don't say that, please. |
| 00:04:40 |
Just supposing. |
| 00:04:41 |
Come on, a gentleman like you! |
| 00:04:44 |
How would you react? |
| 00:04:45 |
How would I... |
| 00:04:49 |
Never happened before? |
| 00:04:53 |
But they always end up paying. |
| 00:05:00 |
Suppose I tell you I'm in deep shit? |
| 00:05:03 |
Don't say that, I beg you! |
| 00:05:07 |
My wife and I, we both work hard... |
| 00:05:09 |
Why are you upsetting me? |
| 00:05:11 |
But a whole month's pay |
| 00:05:14 |
Then why go to restaurants? |
| 00:05:19 |
We made a mistake. |
| 00:05:23 |
If we made a mistake, |
| 00:05:30 |
50,000 more for the cup, |
| 00:05:34 |
I never thought it'd cost that much. |
| 00:05:36 |
Let's be civilized, |
| 00:05:39 |
Do I look like a sucker? |
| 00:05:41 |
I have 500,000 on me, take it! |
| 00:05:46 |
If we start on that tone... |
| 00:05:48 |
What tone? |
| 00:05:50 |
Get Mugurel and Andone! |
| 00:05:52 |
We could sell the washing machine! |
| 00:05:55 |
Sell your mother, |
| 00:05:57 |
Don't talk to me like that! |
| 00:06:01 |
Forgive me! |
| 00:06:04 |
You see I'm going nuts! |
| 00:06:07 |
What are we doing now? |
| 00:06:09 |
We can't spend the whole |
| 00:06:14 |
Come on guys, |
| 00:06:17 |
Here we are, boss. |
| 00:06:19 |
Okay, let's not make a scene. |
| 00:06:24 |
Hands off him! |
| 00:06:25 |
Please! Let me explain! |
| 00:06:29 |
My wife and I celebrate today |
| 00:06:32 |
For once, we thought |
| 00:06:34 |
I'm a teacher, she's a lab assistant, |
| 00:06:39 |
We overestimated our budget, |
| 00:06:42 |
But it's a family event, |
| 00:06:46 |
Tell you what. |
| 00:06:49 |
The lady stays here, |
| 00:06:52 |
Where from? |
| 00:06:53 |
Where am I supposed to find 3 millions |
| 00:06:56 |
Tell me: What should I do? |
| 00:06:58 |
Steal, kill? Rob a bank? |
| 00:07:01 |
We smack him? |
| 00:07:03 |
Waiter! Come to daddy! |
| 00:07:06 |
One second, Baron... |
| 00:07:08 |
Don't argue, come here! |
| 00:07:15 |
Put everything on my bill. |
| 00:07:18 |
Come on, Baron, |
| 00:07:21 |
Leave it, |
| 00:07:27 |
Must be your lucky night! |
| 00:07:33 |
How come? |
| 00:07:36 |
Next time, |
| 00:07:39 |
Had my boys worked you over, |
| 00:07:42 |
you would've spent a fortune |
| 00:08:06 |
How did I get into this? |
| 00:08:10 |
I'm wondering, too. |
| 00:08:12 |
You want to know? |
| 00:08:15 |
Depends. We could walk for a while. |
| 00:08:18 |
Don't you think it's time |
| 00:08:21 |
After just 10 years of marriage? |
| 00:08:24 |
Stop kidding and talk. |
| 00:08:26 |
OK. Let's start at the beginning. |
| 00:08:29 |
Seventeen... I hate that age. |
| 00:08:33 |
I hate my students. |
| 00:08:35 |
Ten days ago, |
| 00:08:40 |
Each morning, |
| 00:08:45 |
I counted them: |
| 00:08:46 |
246 pimples on sophomores, |
| 00:08:59 |
Bucescu, |
| 00:09:03 |
Me, hot for you. |
| 00:09:06 |
Why are you angry? |
| 00:09:08 |
I asked you to turn off |
| 00:09:12 |
I called you a bimbo |
| 00:09:15 |
and you were putting the move |
| 00:09:17 |
Sometimes, |
| 00:09:20 |
School was "sucky". |
| 00:09:23 |
The "stash" was running low. |
| 00:09:25 |
Classes were "fun less". |
| 00:09:27 |
My life was "dragging ass". |
| 00:09:31 |
Bucescu. |
| 00:09:37 |
20 years before, I was their age. |
| 00:09:40 |
But in those times, |
| 00:09:42 |
school was no joke. |
| 00:09:46 |
The poets of the 19th century |
| 00:09:49 |
were among the first to reveal |
| 00:09:52 |
the antagonistic contradictions |
| 00:09:56 |
undermining capitalist society. |
| 00:10:01 |
What kind of contradictions |
| 00:10:08 |
Antagonistic. |
| 00:10:11 |
Give me an example of a poem |
| 00:10:13 |
revealing such contradictions. |
| 00:10:21 |
Today, I teach literature |
| 00:10:25 |
reserved for students |
| 00:10:31 |
I just published my first book: |
| 00:10:34 |
10 short stories in a tiny print run, |
| 00:10:36 |
at my expense. |
| 00:10:38 |
All I made on the deal |
| 00:10:43 |
and the thrill of seeing my work |
| 00:10:46 |
I saw a book here, |
| 00:10:50 |
They fought over it! |
| 00:10:54 |
And the others? |
| 00:10:56 |
Why? |
| 00:10:57 |
Bullshit! This is a demand! |
| 00:11:01 |
Why? Did they stink? |
| 00:11:03 |
The asshole was dead the day after. |
| 00:11:06 |
I killed him in some atrocious way, |
| 00:11:09 |
on the third page |
| 00:11:13 |
New paragraph. |
| 00:11:16 |
"The night wormed silently |
| 00:11:21 |
into the city like a..." |
| 00:11:25 |
Unfortunately I was stuck |
| 00:11:29 |
and for days, despite all efforts, |
| 00:11:38 |
Christmas music again? |
| 00:11:42 |
With a parasite in the house |
| 00:11:45 |
I might not live to see Christmas. |
| 00:11:48 |
That crap in the fridge |
| 00:11:50 |
That's your mother's work! |
| 00:11:52 |
You should go shopping. |
| 00:11:54 |
What about the writer? |
| 00:11:55 |
You talking to me? |
| 00:11:57 |
You've read the book? |
| 00:12:00 |
When? |
| 00:12:02 |
I glanced over it, |
| 00:12:05 |
Who asked you? |
| 00:12:07 |
We were a united family, |
| 00:12:12 |
Out there, however, there was Vera. |
| 00:12:15 |
Vera had only one passion: |
| 00:12:18 |
It's bed time. |
| 00:12:20 |
Try to speak softly for a minute, |
| 00:12:25 |
He was very nervous last week. |
| 00:12:28 |
What a treasure! |
| 00:12:30 |
Aren't you moved |
| 00:12:33 |
Here we go again... |
| 00:12:35 |
He's sweet. |
| 00:12:36 |
You think I'm stupid? |
| 00:12:39 |
I heard you. |
| 00:12:42 |
I hate having these talks in public. |
| 00:12:44 |
You hate them in public? |
| 00:12:47 |
Have you got a home for us? No. |
| 00:12:51 |
Afraid of marriage, afraid of kids! |
| 00:12:55 |
Vera, don't exaggerate. |
| 00:12:56 |
Same old song, every time: |
| 00:12:59 |
"I want a baby to play with..." |
| 00:13:01 |
"Forget nine months, I want it now!" |
| 00:13:05 |
"Buy me a baby right now!" |
| 00:13:06 |
You're a pig! Just... |
| 00:13:10 |
...go fuck yourself! |
| 00:13:14 |
It was the end |
| 00:13:17 |
the only woman |
| 00:13:20 |
But I had about 100 kids at school, |
| 00:13:24 |
Especially one of them... |
| 00:13:27 |
Robert! |
| 00:13:43 |
You put moves on her? |
| 00:13:44 |
You're dead. |
| 00:13:46 |
Me, with this dog? |
| 00:13:49 |
You're fucked! |
| 00:13:54 |
Robert was the school hotshot. |
| 00:13:57 |
All the girls were wild about him. |
| 00:14:00 |
He rarely came to class. |
| 00:14:04 |
I was happy to see him |
| 00:14:06 |
The principal |
| 00:14:11 |
Hey teach, |
| 00:14:13 |
I heard some talk |
| 00:14:16 |
What's up? |
| 00:14:18 |
You must've done something. |
| 00:14:20 |
But you stick up for me! |
| 00:14:26 |
What can I do, |
| 00:14:29 |
Let me spell it out to you. |
| 00:14:32 |
If they boot me out |
| 00:14:34 |
and you're on their side, |
| 00:14:37 |
you won't be my buddy anymore. |
| 00:14:40 |
Then I come see you... |
| 00:14:44 |
Fair? Sounds fair to me. |
| 00:14:48 |
I'll think about it. |
| 00:14:53 |
I suddenly realized |
| 00:14:55 |
that a young man in his formative |
| 00:14:59 |
and that hasty sanctions |
| 00:15:03 |
Robert deserved a chance |
| 00:15:05 |
I asked the headmaster |
| 00:15:09 |
and instructed Robert |
| 00:15:14 |
I was almost curious |
| 00:15:19 |
You see, sometimes in life |
| 00:15:20 |
a door swings open and suddenly |
| 00:15:25 |
Well, imagine |
| 00:15:36 |
Mr. Gorea? |
| 00:15:39 |
I'm Robert's sister. |
| 00:15:43 |
but they're out of town |
| 00:15:48 |
N ice to meet you. |
| 00:15:50 |
Diana Dobrovicescu. |
| 00:15:53 |
Robert's sister! |
| 00:15:55 |
Take a seat. |
| 00:16:00 |
Thanks. |
| 00:16:05 |
I didn't know Robert had... |
| 00:16:10 |
Well, then! |
| 00:16:12 |
What kind of contradictions |
| 00:16:17 |
Antagonistic. |
| 00:16:18 |
Sorry? |
| 00:16:21 |
Is there a problem with my brother? |
| 00:16:27 |
A problem with Robert? |
| 00:16:30 |
The problem with Robert... |
| 00:16:33 |
It's not really a problem. |
| 00:16:37 |
I mean... |
| 00:16:43 |
So you're Robert's sister. |
| 00:16:47 |
Tell me if he's done something bad. |
| 00:16:50 |
Robert is so hot tempered... |
| 00:16:55 |
It's age, too. If you don't |
| 00:16:59 |
when do you fool around? |
| 00:17:06 |
I think I left my cell phone |
| 00:17:10 |
No, you haven't left anything |
| 00:17:13 |
so get lost, and fast! |
| 00:17:19 |
You must be tough, |
| 00:17:25 |
So, then... Robert's sister... |
| 00:17:29 |
Student? |
| 00:17:31 |
I go to modeling school. |
| 00:17:33 |
Obviously. |
| 00:17:34 |
For someone like you, |
| 00:17:38 |
When I say "like you", I mean... |
| 00:17:40 |
Not that you |
| 00:17:43 |
I mean, fashion is serious enough, |
| 00:17:46 |
but it doesn't require any schooling. |
| 00:17:49 |
Though you have mentioned |
| 00:17:53 |
Am I confused here? |
| 00:17:55 |
A little. |
| 00:17:58 |
I worked all last night. |
| 00:18:02 |
You're also writer? |
| 00:18:05 |
In fact, I am "also" a teacher. |
| 00:18:10 |
Teaching is mostly a hobby. |
| 00:18:13 |
Kids are such fabulous raw material, |
| 00:18:19 |
I'll break your necks! |
| 00:18:26 |
So... Robert's sister... |
| 00:18:27 |
What books have you written? |
| 00:18:31 |
I just happen to have |
| 00:18:34 |
I'll sign it for you. |
| 00:18:36 |
It's very kind but... |
| 00:18:38 |
I insist. |
| 00:18:40 |
8 p.m. Nova Brasilia Café. |
| 00:18:52 |
Too bad, Gorgeous. |
| 00:18:56 |
You don't know what you're missing. |
| 00:19:43 |
Sorry. |
| 00:19:46 |
I couldn't get away. |
| 00:19:48 |
I was about to leave. |
| 00:19:49 |
I'd have called if I had your number. |
| 00:19:52 |
Glad you made it. |
| 00:19:54 |
Next time, pay the bill. |
| 00:19:56 |
What did she say? |
| 00:20:01 |
Let's go someplace else. |
| 00:20:03 |
I know a nice pizza place near here. |
| 00:20:05 |
Pizza place? Let's go to a nightclub! |
| 00:20:08 |
What nightclub? |
| 00:20:10 |
There's a party sponsored |
| 00:20:13 |
Can we get in? |
| 00:20:14 |
Sure, I made a commercial for them... |
| 00:20:17 |
Shall we run to the subway? |
| 00:20:20 |
Welcome to the Domident |
| 00:20:24 |
where people with strong teeth |
| 00:20:28 |
dance like crazy and... |
| 00:20:59 |
Get me a Campari orange! |
| 00:21:13 |
I had a hollow feeling in my stomach. |
| 00:21:16 |
The taxi, admission, 3 Camparis, |
| 00:21:18 |
a pack of cigarettes and 2 coffees. |
| 00:21:20 |
Half a month's salary |
| 00:21:25 |
What'll it be? |
| 00:21:26 |
What I desperately needed |
| 00:21:29 |
Now it's time for our crazy contest. |
| 00:21:32 |
Domident Corporation |
| 00:21:34 |
is offering 3 million lei |
| 00:21:38 |
Ready for... |
| 00:21:40 |
the Orange Dance! |
| 00:21:46 |
Let's do it. |
| 00:21:50 |
You'll have to tell me how. |
| 00:21:52 |
The starting position! |
| 00:21:53 |
Place the orange |
| 00:21:59 |
Whatever happens, |
| 00:22:04 |
You can only use your body. |
| 00:22:05 |
Those using their hands |
| 00:23:25 |
That's life. |
| 00:23:29 |
What's a good excuse for |
| 00:23:33 |
Toothache. Logical, isn't it? |
| 00:23:36 |
And if she didn't buy it, |
| 00:23:39 |
One thing was certain: |
| 00:23:41 |
Glamour girls cost too much. |
| 00:23:45 |
I decided to spend less time |
| 00:23:51 |
Come quick! |
| 00:23:56 |
Can you hear me? |
| 00:23:57 |
Hello! |
| 00:24:00 |
We can hear you. |
| 00:24:02 |
Making a fool of yourself again? |
| 00:24:06 |
With all due consideration, |
| 00:24:10 |
Is this the way things should be |
| 00:24:15 |
What way? |
| 00:24:16 |
The way they are! |
| 00:24:18 |
Our show happens to deal |
| 00:24:21 |
Please ask a specific question. |
| 00:24:23 |
It's very specific! |
| 00:24:25 |
Everything has gone bananas |
| 00:24:27 |
Comment on that! |
| 00:24:29 |
Thanks for the question. |
| 00:24:32 |
We'll be back |
| 00:24:37 |
You're a joke. |
| 00:24:40 |
They couldn't handle the truth. |
| 00:24:55 |
Hey babe! You free tonight? |
| 00:24:58 |
That's cheeky! |
| 00:25:02 |
You still have milk teeth. |
| 00:25:23 |
Your place or mine? |
| 00:25:25 |
Anywhere. |
| 00:25:30 |
I won't live to see you |
| 00:25:45 |
Ovidiu! Commercials! |
| 00:26:17 |
Your place or mine? |
| 00:26:19 |
Anywhere. |
| 00:26:27 |
Diana? Ovidiu speaking. |
| 00:26:31 |
Ovidiu Gorea. |
| 00:26:33 |
Robert's literature teacher. |
| 00:26:36 |
Sorry, did I wake you up? |
| 00:26:40 |
You don't remember? |
| 00:26:42 |
We went together |
| 00:26:46 |
A toothache, that's right. |
| 00:26:50 |
I saw you in that commercial... |
| 00:26:55 |
I thought you were great. |
| 00:26:58 |
OK, I'll let you sleep. |
| 00:27:03 |
Good night and... |
| 00:27:05 |
Did you get a chance |
| 00:27:12 |
No kidding? |
| 00:27:15 |
You read it? |
| 00:27:17 |
I only had four readers in the world, |
| 00:27:20 |
and one of them was Diana. |
| 00:27:24 |
I was wasting my best years |
| 00:27:27 |
while a heavenly creature |
| 00:27:30 |
and waiting to be grabbed. |
| 00:27:32 |
Somebody, up there, liked me. |
| 00:27:51 |
I needed some real money |
| 00:27:56 |
This time it had to work. |
| 00:27:59 |
A paper is just for a day. |
| 00:28:02 |
I was hoping to sell |
| 00:28:05 |
After an hour, I lowered the price. |
| 00:28:08 |
Even the beggars |
| 00:28:45 |
Think you're smart? |
| 00:28:48 |
Get lost! |
| 00:28:51 |
What's the problem? |
| 00:28:52 |
This isn't your patch. |
| 00:28:54 |
That's Gigi Piedone's. |
| 00:28:56 |
You working for him? |
| 00:28:58 |
I don't... |
| 00:29:00 |
This is a public place... |
| 00:29:09 |
The Writers' Café. |
| 00:29:14 |
Most of these pathetic drunks |
| 00:29:17 |
were legends of the past, |
| 00:29:21 |
The first to reveal |
| 00:29:24 |
between Soviet vodka |
| 00:29:28 |
Too bad. Given my situation |
| 00:29:31 |
I had to swallow pride. |
| 00:29:38 |
Mr. Negreanu, may I... |
| 00:29:42 |
I truly admire your books and... |
| 00:29:45 |
Want me to sign one? |
| 00:29:49 |
I'd like an honest opinion |
| 00:29:54 |
I'm busy till December. |
| 00:29:58 |
And if anyone wants one, |
| 00:30:02 |
What is this? |
| 00:30:04 |
Selling your stuff to writers? |
| 00:30:06 |
It's tough for us newcomers. |
| 00:30:11 |
Tough for you? |
| 00:30:14 |
That's a good one! |
| 00:30:16 |
Me, with my 17 titles, |
| 00:30:19 |
dozens of awards, |
| 00:30:21 |
and three pieces |
| 00:30:24 |
I eat and drink in this shithole! |
| 00:30:27 |
On credit, too! |
| 00:30:31 |
And pricks like you |
| 00:30:34 |
You have some nerve |
| 00:30:37 |
from famous writers |
| 00:30:41 |
Here's what I think |
| 00:30:44 |
Look! |
| 00:30:48 |
God bless the classics! |
| 00:30:51 |
Down with postmodernists! |
| 00:31:05 |
Maestro! |
| 00:31:07 |
What about a vodka for a poem? |
| 00:31:10 |
Meaning? |
| 00:31:12 |
I am the railway station poet. |
| 00:31:16 |
Come here, I won't bite. |
| 00:31:17 |
I'm sort of a high school novelist. |
| 00:31:20 |
I got that. You wrote a book. |
| 00:31:23 |
Buy a vodka for a fellow writer. |
| 00:31:25 |
Come on, the cheapest one! |
| 00:31:28 |
And I'll recite you one of my poems. |
| 00:31:31 |
Who is your publisher? |
| 00:31:33 |
Do I look like a clown |
| 00:31:36 |
No, I just recite: |
| 00:31:40 |
May I choke on it |
| 00:31:44 |
The railway station poet? |
| 00:31:51 |
Title: |
| 00:31:52 |
"Poem by a Man Realizing |
| 00:31:58 |
I'm listening. |
| 00:32:01 |
"In the tiny bedroom |
| 00:32:04 |
"I lie crushed by the weight" |
| 00:32:07 |
"Of a giant fist on my head." |
| 00:32:13 |
Is that all? |
| 00:32:15 |
That's it. |
| 00:32:18 |
Not bad. |
| 00:32:19 |
You're a tough critic. |
| 00:32:22 |
Go on. |
| 00:32:29 |
Title: |
| 00:32:30 |
"Poem For a Girl |
| 00:32:34 |
"Before She Ditched Me." |
| 00:32:39 |
"The smile she gave me in that tram |
| 00:32:45 |
"My life became a traffic jam" |
| 00:32:47 |
"And so did Mr. Ion Susai's." |
| 00:32:51 |
Who is lon Susai? |
| 00:32:53 |
A friend, |
| 00:32:55 |
Let's have one more. |
| 00:32:57 |
That's all. I've only got two poems. |
| 00:33:00 |
Only two? |
| 00:33:03 |
Don't tell me you're some Tolstoy. |
| 00:33:05 |
True. Ten short novellas |
| 00:33:08 |
How much do you sell |
| 00:33:11 |
3,000 a piece. |
| 00:33:15 |
I'll take all ten. |
| 00:33:18 |
If you can afford it, |
| 00:33:22 |
Tonight, I'm begging for a vodka |
| 00:33:26 |
Usually, I recite for money. |
| 00:33:28 |
I couldn't believe it. |
| 00:33:30 |
He was making five times |
| 00:33:33 |
He could afford to eat |
| 00:33:36 |
He was living better than most |
| 00:33:41 |
which weren't even his! |
| 00:33:43 |
You're not the author? |
| 00:33:46 |
Not really. |
| 00:33:53 |
The railway station poet |
| 00:33:55 |
sent me to see a certain Mr. Puiutz, |
| 00:33:58 |
a man he described |
| 00:34:04 |
I was to show him my book |
| 00:34:13 |
Come in. The coffee is boiling. |
| 00:34:22 |
Excuse me... |
| 00:34:25 |
In his office. |
| 00:34:29 |
Come in! |
| 00:34:32 |
Sort it out, and fast! |
| 00:34:33 |
Sort it out, and fast! |
| 00:34:36 |
I was told to see you by... |
| 00:34:38 |
I know. |
| 00:34:42 |
I don't have anything for you. |
| 00:34:44 |
I'd like to show you a book. |
| 00:34:46 |
A collection of short stories. |
| 00:34:50 |
You're a writer? |
| 00:34:54 |
What's the problem? |
| 00:34:55 |
It's not exactly a best seller. |
| 00:34:58 |
I need to sell a hundred copies |
| 00:35:04 |
Forget it. |
| 00:35:05 |
So you can't... |
| 00:35:09 |
Mr. Piedone is here. |
| 00:35:13 |
I assume you need money... |
| 00:35:17 |
Do you know what I do? |
| 00:35:21 |
But since it's a foundation, |
| 00:35:23 |
I suppose you support |
| 00:35:27 |
Remarkably perceptive. |
| 00:35:31 |
Follow me. |
| 00:35:35 |
Have a seat. |
| 00:35:37 |
Piedone! |
| 00:35:39 |
Five top quality items. |
| 00:35:42 |
How much do I get? |
| 00:35:44 |
20% on each text, |
| 00:35:47 |
I shouldn't even speak to you. |
| 00:35:49 |
But I've got a mother's heart. |
| 00:35:53 |
Miruna! |
| 00:35:56 |
Go type! |
| 00:35:59 |
Okay, morons, line up! |
| 00:36:03 |
One at a time, |
| 00:36:06 |
I was beaten and tortured... |
| 00:36:10 |
Political jailbird, |
| 00:36:14 |
She won't earn a cent with that. |
| 00:36:16 |
She might even be lynched |
| 00:36:20 |
Send her to churches, |
| 00:36:23 |
with a picture of her dead husband. |
| 00:36:25 |
Type: |
| 00:36:27 |
"I'm waiting for my husband." |
| 00:36:29 |
"He went to see with the Lord |
| 00:36:32 |
Next! |
| 00:36:35 |
Maybe an artist... |
| 00:36:37 |
Film director. |
| 00:36:39 |
His sign should say: |
| 00:36:41 |
"During the dictatorship |
| 00:36:44 |
"Today, our cinema is dead |
| 00:36:48 |
Maestro, you're a friggin' genius! |
| 00:36:52 |
Another! |
| 00:36:54 |
Kid with AIDS. |
| 00:36:57 |
AIDS is outdated, |
| 00:36:59 |
Can he sing? |
| 00:37:02 |
He can, or I'll kick his ass. |
| 00:37:04 |
I'll write him an orphan subway song. |
| 00:37:08 |
The lyrics on payday. Next. |
| 00:37:10 |
Retired cripple. |
| 00:37:13 |
Uniform, medals, crutches. |
| 00:37:16 |
A ping pong ball over one eye |
| 00:37:19 |
"An eye and a limb |
| 00:37:26 |
Seven months pregnant. |
| 00:37:28 |
She'll push a doll in a stroller. |
| 00:37:30 |
The doll must be in terrible shape. |
| 00:37:34 |
Text: |
| 00:37:45 |
Don Pepe, you are a great artist. |
| 00:37:49 |
I'm off, I see you're busy. |
| 00:37:53 |
I'm leaving in 5 minutes. |
| 00:37:57 |
You were talking about |
| 00:38:03 |
I think I came to the wrong address. |
| 00:38:07 |
I'm not so sure. |
| 00:38:12 |
This is a new profession. |
| 00:38:14 |
I invented it. |
| 00:38:16 |
Begging? |
| 00:38:18 |
Writing for beggars. |
| 00:38:20 |
My works are shorter than yours, |
| 00:38:22 |
but they have an advantage: |
| 00:38:26 |
Look! Those are the hopeless. |
| 00:38:29 |
The free lancers... |
| 00:38:32 |
they earn nothing, |
| 00:38:36 |
Much like yourself. |
| 00:38:39 |
See that one? |
| 00:38:41 |
Ex violinist, so desperate |
| 00:38:45 |
Heartbreaking. |
| 00:38:47 |
The trick is: He can't play a note. |
| 00:38:49 |
Never learned, poor fellow. |
| 00:38:52 |
We even taught him |
| 00:38:55 |
But people give handouts. |
| 00:38:58 |
How much? |
| 00:39:00 |
In a few hours he can make a fortune. |
| 00:39:03 |
Mr. Piedone, whom you met, |
| 00:39:04 |
passes twice a day |
| 00:39:07 |
Even the police take their cut. |
| 00:39:11 |
It's called organized begging. |
| 00:39:13 |
Shameful! |
| 00:39:16 |
To beg and not to receive, |
| 00:39:19 |
For years, Romania has gone cap |
| 00:39:22 |
without getting a cent. |
| 00:39:24 |
What do they expect |
| 00:39:30 |
Watch this guy. |
| 00:39:39 |
I know it's embarrassing, |
| 00:39:43 |
It's an emergency, |
| 00:39:45 |
and I need cab fare. |
| 00:39:49 |
You don't always have |
| 00:39:53 |
The morons in government |
| 00:39:57 |
Leave me your number |
| 00:39:59 |
Forget it. In situations like these... |
| 00:40:06 |
How much do you need? |
| 00:40:09 |
Two or three million. |
| 00:40:10 |
U rgently? |
| 00:40:12 |
Will you take the plunge? |
| 00:40:15 |
You mean beg with a credit card? |
| 00:40:20 |
Wrong: Without a credit card. |
| 00:40:22 |
And most challenging, |
| 00:40:26 |
you won't even have to beg. |
| 00:40:32 |
Ever been interested |
| 00:40:36 |
It's a fascinating field. |
| 00:40:38 |
What is the secret trigger |
| 00:40:42 |
I'll tell you: A story. |
| 00:40:47 |
An out stretched hand without |
| 00:40:53 |
I've got a few ideas I want to test. |
| 00:40:57 |
What I need is a character. |
| 00:41:01 |
You have the perfect face |
| 00:41:05 |
You're kind of sad. |
| 00:41:07 |
If you play ball |
| 00:41:11 |
I promise that by Saturday |
| 00:41:16 |
Think it over and give me a call. |
| 00:41:21 |
One call, honey! |
| 00:41:24 |
I am so hot for you... |
| 00:41:29 |
Let's explore |
| 00:41:37 |
Just one call, |
| 00:41:38 |
and all your fantasies |
| 00:41:45 |
Call Mr. Pavel Puiutz |
| 00:41:52 |
Bucescu! |
| 00:41:55 |
Give me the phone. |
| 00:41:58 |
I wasn't using it! |
| 00:42:00 |
Lucky me! Hand it over. |
| 00:42:08 |
How does it work? |
| 00:42:12 |
Yes, it's me. |
| 00:42:14 |
What's your decision? |
| 00:42:16 |
That's the winning answer! |
| 00:42:18 |
N ice working with you. |
| 00:42:21 |
Remember the young lady |
| 00:42:27 |
Good evening. I am Ovidiu Gorea. |
| 00:42:30 |
Miruna Stan. Shall we go? |
| 00:42:41 |
Good evening. |
| 00:42:44 |
By the window. |
| 00:43:11 |
Take it easy. |
| 00:43:13 |
We have two hours to kill |
| 00:43:23 |
Talk. Let's make conversation. |
| 00:43:28 |
How long have we been married? |
| 00:43:30 |
Ten years. |
| 00:43:32 |
We can still speak to each other, |
| 00:43:36 |
I don't trust the waiter. |
| 00:43:39 |
All the better. |
| 00:43:41 |
Don't be silly. |
| 00:43:43 |
Pepe paid him off. |
| 00:43:45 |
If he's rude, |
| 00:43:48 |
What people? |
| 00:43:50 |
Give it another hour. |
| 00:44:11 |
I could kill for a cigarette. |
| 00:44:13 |
Not here. Pepe says |
| 00:44:18 |
Ready for the bill? |
| 00:44:22 |
What am I doing here? |
| 00:44:28 |
I've been thinking. |
| 00:44:32 |
I'm not up to this racket. |
| 00:44:34 |
I thought I was, but I'm not. |
| 00:44:37 |
My apologies to Mr. Pepe. |
| 00:44:52 |
I almost forgot the ring. |
| 00:44:56 |
I'll be damned! |
| 00:45:01 |
What a small country: |
| 00:45:06 |
You both look fantastic. |
| 00:45:09 |
Happy couples |
| 00:45:15 |
Mr. Puiutz, I can't go on. |
| 00:45:19 |
Your dignity? |
| 00:45:22 |
Flat broke, you can afford dignity? |
| 00:45:25 |
Let me tell you a story. |
| 00:45:28 |
In the 1950s, when I was young, |
| 00:45:34 |
Do you know what that whim cost me? |
| 00:45:37 |
5 years in jail. The comrades |
| 00:45:41 |
In the can, |
| 00:45:45 |
A cigarette for the guard? |
| 00:45:48 |
No more cigarettes? |
| 00:45:52 |
Mr. Puiutz... |
| 00:45:54 |
5 years later, when I got out, |
| 00:45:57 |
guess what I discovered? |
| 00:45:59 |
It's the same deal on the outside. |
| 00:46:02 |
Take your dignity |
| 00:46:06 |
and make sure it stays there. |
| 00:46:10 |
Check, please! |
| 00:46:15 |
Ten years of marriage and you still |
| 00:46:26 |
Waiter! |
| 00:46:30 |
There must be a mistake here. |
| 00:46:33 |
I don't think so. Check it yourself. |
| 00:46:36 |
As far as I know |
| 00:46:39 |
Who can afford these prices? |
| 00:46:41 |
We have our clientele, Madam: |
| 00:46:45 |
Honey, will you check this? |
| 00:47:01 |
It's enormous. |
| 00:47:04 |
This can't be! You have to pay. |
| 00:47:08 |
This is a very special night for us. |
| 00:47:11 |
My wife... |
| 00:47:17 |
Unbelievable! |
| 00:47:21 |
I felt like a great actor, |
| 00:47:23 |
playing to a breathless audience. |
| 00:47:27 |
It was only the beginning, |
| 00:47:28 |
the opening night |
| 00:47:34 |
Honey, calm down. |
| 00:47:38 |
Can you read my lips? |
| 00:47:41 |
We should have stayed at home! |
| 00:47:46 |
It's our special night! |
| 00:47:49 |
Did we ask for specials? |
| 00:47:51 |
We did not! |
| 00:47:52 |
You told us to leave it to you. |
| 00:47:56 |
I just wanted to please my wife |
| 00:48:00 |
10 years! |
| 00:48:01 |
Then please me too and pay up! |
| 00:48:05 |
You know what my husband earns? |
| 00:48:07 |
I don't give a hoot. |
| 00:48:09 |
The Ministry has stopped |
| 00:48:13 |
since the budget was cut! |
| 00:48:15 |
We haven't been to a restaurant |
| 00:48:18 |
thanks to this criminal policy |
| 00:48:23 |
It's a scandal, Madam! |
| 00:48:25 |
3,900,000, please. |
| 00:48:27 |
Why can't you be reasonable? |
| 00:48:29 |
Let's try and find a solution! |
| 00:48:32 |
I could stay and wash the dishes. |
| 00:48:51 |
Your health and happiness! |
| 00:48:54 |
Laura! Sing "Happy Anniversary" |
| 00:49:10 |
Everything I did, Miruna, |
| 00:49:13 |
To impress her tomorrow |
| 00:49:15 |
with a fat wallet, |
| 00:49:17 |
a cell phone |
| 00:49:18 |
and a flashy car. |
| 00:49:21 |
That's the whole story. |
| 00:49:25 |
What do you think? |
| 00:49:28 |
Good luck. |
| 00:49:30 |
I'll need it. |
| 00:49:33 |
Here we are. This is where I live. |
| 00:49:36 |
See you Monday? |
| 00:49:40 |
Any advice? |
| 00:49:43 |
Take the ring off. |
| 00:49:57 |
Bring it back by noon tomorrow! |
| 00:50:15 |
Is this your car? |
| 00:50:17 |
"Nobody Dies For Free". |
| 00:50:18 |
300,000 copies sold. |
| 00:50:24 |
Where are we going? |
| 00:50:27 |
I booked a table at The Coral. |
| 00:50:30 |
After dinner, we can go dancing. |
| 00:50:35 |
We've even got an orange. |
| 00:50:39 |
Diana! |
| 00:50:41 |
Idiots! |
| 00:50:48 |
We're going to The Cool Club! |
| 00:50:51 |
Where? |
| 00:50:54 |
Diana, how are you? |
| 00:50:56 |
Great! What about you? |
| 00:50:59 |
I broke up with Silviu! |
| 00:51:02 |
Yes! You tell me all about it, okay? |
| 00:51:16 |
Black Magic for the lady... |
| 00:00:03 |
Make it a double. |
| 00:00:05 |
Have you tried this Afghan? |
| 00:00:10 |
How's being a writer, fun? |
| 00:00:13 |
It's cool if you're a pro. |
| 00:00:21 |
Some guys claim |
| 00:00:23 |
they can write in a cold-water flat, |
| 00:00:26 |
with their folks around |
| 00:00:29 |
Only suckers buy that. |
| 00:00:31 |
You need a nice environment. |
| 00:00:34 |
A house in the mountains... |
| 00:00:37 |
A nice bottle of whisky... |
| 00:00:41 |
Music is what you put down on paper. |
| 00:00:44 |
But writing on music |
| 00:00:53 |
Without music, |
| 00:00:57 |
You can't blame music for that. |
| 00:00:59 |
What about other stuff? |
| 00:01:03 |
Listen to the macho man! |
| 00:01:09 |
Wow, it's the A list! |
| 00:01:11 |
Shit! Here comes the Joker... |
| 00:01:13 |
The party's over... |
| 00:01:16 |
Okay, you morons. |
| 00:01:18 |
I had to make a zillion calls |
| 00:01:20 |
to find out where the action was. |
| 00:01:24 |
If I ever find the big mouth... |
| 00:01:27 |
Too late. We were about to go. |
| 00:01:29 |
No kidding. |
| 00:01:33 |
You with this grandpa? |
| 00:01:35 |
Does it bother you? |
| 00:01:36 |
No, I'm waiting my turn. |
| 00:01:39 |
To take our friendship |
| 00:01:45 |
Hi, man. |
| 00:01:48 |
Don't go sulky. |
| 00:01:51 |
He'll have you |
| 00:01:54 |
Didn't you know? He's a scream! |
| 00:01:56 |
But she doesn't appreciate that. |
| 00:02:02 |
Let me show you a trick. |
| 00:02:04 |
How do millionaires smoke? |
| 00:02:07 |
Like me! |
| 00:02:11 |
No. Give me the pack. |
| 00:02:19 |
And the lighter. |
| 00:02:41 |
I'd like to know |
| 00:02:44 |
For what? |
| 00:02:48 |
What bribe would make you |
| 00:02:53 |
About what time? |
| 00:02:57 |
My price is one million. |
| 00:03:03 |
Here's two million. |
| 00:03:05 |
I'm paying in advance |
| 00:03:10 |
I love doing business |
| 00:03:13 |
That's a good one! |
| 00:03:17 |
You have a good night now. |
| 00:03:21 |
Now say good bye to everybody, |
| 00:03:23 |
and off you go, home to bed. |
| 00:03:25 |
Take your money back. |
| 00:03:27 |
Lady Di! I'm joking |
| 00:03:31 |
What joke, you took the money? |
| 00:03:34 |
Mom's waiting for you. |
| 00:03:37 |
No! |
| 00:03:39 |
We don't want to go to bed, do we? |
| 00:03:41 |
Baby making a scene? |
| 00:03:43 |
No, he's just leaving. |
| 00:03:47 |
You all suck! |
| 00:03:49 |
Come on, let's have some fun. |
| 00:03:52 |
I have to ask you to leave. |
| 00:03:54 |
You're disturbing a customer. |
| 00:03:57 |
Who is he to lay down the law? |
| 00:04:00 |
If you don't know, |
| 00:04:03 |
Do I have to show you to your car? |
| 00:04:15 |
You'll crawl on your knees |
| 00:04:21 |
I piss on your crummy club! |
| 00:04:24 |
You pick on me? |
| 00:04:26 |
I'll have the taxman |
| 00:04:29 |
I'll close you down! |
| 00:04:31 |
You'll be on fucking welfare, |
| 00:05:01 |
Not here. |
| 00:05:02 |
There are too many old ladies |
| 00:05:05 |
Come with me. |
| 00:05:39 |
You can't come up, |
| 00:05:41 |
Otherwise I could? |
| 00:05:49 |
Would your brother Robert... |
| 00:05:51 |
be upset if he knew |
| 00:05:55 |
Why would he be? |
| 00:05:57 |
He's a bit impulsive. |
| 00:06:01 |
Do I ask him about his dates? |
| 00:06:09 |
That's enough. You have to go. |
| 00:06:32 |
Don't forget me till next Saturday. |
| 00:06:46 |
You see her only on Saturdays? |
| 00:06:48 |
She can't go out during the week. |
| 00:06:50 |
Models are obsessed |
| 00:06:54 |
It's for the best. I couldn't handle |
| 00:06:59 |
Money wise or... |
| 00:07:03 |
I'm a beggar on weekdays |
| 00:07:08 |
Your bill, Sir. |
| 00:07:12 |
Irresistible, |
| 00:07:17 |
The bill? |
| 00:07:20 |
Imagine the cost |
| 00:07:23 |
Based on last Saturday's expenses... |
| 00:07:27 |
And the bill? |
| 00:07:32 |
What is this? |
| 00:07:35 |
I hope it's a mistake! |
| 00:07:41 |
Robert! |
| 00:07:43 |
Come here a second. |
| 00:07:47 |
If they score, I'll kill you! |
| 00:07:50 |
What? |
| 00:07:52 |
Just a minute... |
| 00:07:57 |
How are things at home? |
| 00:07:59 |
Fine. |
| 00:08:02 |
Your sister, how is she? |
| 00:08:05 |
She's okay. |
| 00:08:06 |
Speaking of your sister... |
| 00:08:09 |
I know a girl about her age |
| 00:08:11 |
and I'd like to give her a present. |
| 00:08:14 |
I thought I'd ask your advice. |
| 00:08:17 |
A girl like Diana, for example, |
| 00:08:23 |
I got it! |
| 00:08:26 |
No, it's just... |
| 00:08:29 |
If you have a chick you want to bang, |
| 00:08:32 |
forget the presents! |
| 00:08:33 |
Take her home, |
| 00:08:37 |
Jesus, |
| 00:08:41 |
Dismissed. |
| 00:08:50 |
If you break them, |
| 00:09:51 |
Look. |
| 00:09:56 |
Show the young lady |
| 00:09:57 |
what we have to pay |
| 00:10:05 |
One more thing... |
| 00:10:07 |
I've read it. It's poor. |
| 00:10:20 |
My place is out of the question. |
| 00:10:24 |
Her place, I get Robert. |
| 00:10:27 |
No friends? |
| 00:10:29 |
I've got acquaintances. |
| 00:10:32 |
And they all live |
| 00:10:37 |
Do you mind changing the subject? |
| 00:10:40 |
Why? |
| 00:10:41 |
You can't spend the evening |
| 00:10:46 |
It's no fun for your wife, |
| 00:10:48 |
to listen to you |
| 00:10:52 |
Especially on an anniversary. |
| 00:10:55 |
What anniversary? |
| 00:10:58 |
10 years of marriage. |
| 00:11:00 |
Are you nuts? |
| 00:11:02 |
We do that every night. |
| 00:11:04 |
Maybe tonight it's special. |
| 00:11:06 |
What do you mean? |
| 00:11:07 |
Maybe I want it to be special. |
| 00:11:09 |
But... |
| 00:11:14 |
Of working together... |
| 00:11:16 |
Of me being your wife. |
| 00:11:18 |
At least |
| 00:11:22 |
So spare me your cheap flings. |
| 00:11:26 |
Don Pepe can kiss my ass! |
| 00:11:37 |
Where are you going? |
| 00:11:52 |
You know... |
| 00:11:54 |
when you bring a girl to your place, |
| 00:11:56 |
sometimes she asks |
| 00:11:59 |
So? |
| 00:12:04 |
To be able to find a clean towel, |
| 00:12:09 |
To have some personal things |
| 00:12:12 |
That's easy. |
| 00:12:14 |
But I don't have a "here and there" |
| 00:12:18 |
Talk to Pepe. |
| 00:12:23 |
What? |
| 00:12:28 |
Open your eyes! |
| 00:12:30 |
That's the city you live in. |
| 00:12:35 |
The view is perfect, |
| 00:12:40 |
See the nobodies passing by? |
| 00:12:43 |
Millions of nobodies. |
| 00:12:46 |
When I first saw |
| 00:12:50 |
Miruna, coffee! |
| 00:12:52 |
I thought: This nobody |
| 00:12:56 |
This guy wants to learn the trade. |
| 00:12:59 |
Where is that coffee? |
| 00:13:04 |
There are 3 basic trades |
| 00:13:07 |
Wealth, poverty and sex. |
| 00:13:10 |
Either of them pays the rent. |
| 00:13:12 |
But on love and writing |
| 00:13:16 |
You die for free. |
| 00:13:20 |
The residence is vacant, isn't it? |
| 00:13:22 |
How narrow minded! |
| 00:13:24 |
I give him all these profits, |
| 00:13:29 |
While he is busy singing serenades! |
| 00:13:32 |
It's been available since yesterday. |
| 00:13:34 |
What? |
| 00:13:36 |
So what? |
| 00:13:41 |
Is this a conspiracy? |
| 00:13:42 |
Are you ganging up on me? |
| 00:13:47 |
Saturday. |
| 00:13:49 |
First I want results. |
| 00:13:55 |
Don't talk like that to a client! |
| 00:13:56 |
Do I have to pay for them? |
| 00:13:58 |
How much they owe? |
| 00:14:02 |
Is it him? |
| 00:14:03 |
It is! |
| 00:14:05 |
That guy who can't pay the bill. |
| 00:14:07 |
Weird, suddenly he's broke! |
| 00:14:10 |
And married, too... |
| 00:14:13 |
Thank you... |
| 00:14:33 |
Here... |
| 00:14:35 |
Don't mock the needy. |
| 00:14:38 |
Aren't you ashamed? |
| 00:14:40 |
Beat it! |
| 00:14:42 |
Mind your own business! |
| 00:14:55 |
You live here? |
| 00:15:07 |
Sing a song for the World Bank, |
| 00:15:10 |
All the orphans wait in rank |
| 00:15:13 |
Sing a song for PHARE Fund... |
| 00:15:16 |
Here. |
| 00:15:18 |
Isn't that too much? |
| 00:15:39 |
So... |
| 00:15:42 |
I spent the day |
| 00:15:45 |
setting everything up, |
| 00:15:47 |
rummaging everywhere. |
| 00:15:52 |
One tiny detail slipped my mind. |
| 00:16:00 |
Let's have some light... |
| 00:16:03 |
One second |
| 00:16:08 |
You don't really want |
| 00:16:16 |
Bad boy! |
| 00:16:21 |
Want a drink? |
| 00:16:32 |
You know what |
| 00:16:37 |
No. |
| 00:16:38 |
You don't show off your money. |
| 00:16:41 |
Most of the men I ve dated |
| 00:16:43 |
like to... brag a bit. |
| 00:16:48 |
They know that a girl |
| 00:16:52 |
can't shop in any cheap store. |
| 00:16:55 |
I like it when a man is able |
| 00:17:00 |
but he should do it like you, |
| 00:17:03 |
Don't you agree? |
| 00:17:06 |
I do. |
| 00:17:08 |
Want to go upstairs? |
| 00:17:12 |
We have music up there, too. |
| 00:17:57 |
Don't answer. |
| 00:17:58 |
This is the Filantropica Residence. |
| 00:18:00 |
Leave your message after the beep. |
| 00:18:04 |
Ungureanu speaking. |
| 00:18:06 |
I'd like to rent the house for |
| 00:18:11 |
I hope the price is still the same. |
| 00:18:14 |
on 4235617. |
| 00:18:19 |
It was a mistake! |
| 00:18:22 |
Don't be silly! Somebody dialed |
| 00:18:27 |
Guess who called me yesterday? |
| 00:18:30 |
He saw you haggling |
| 00:18:34 |
Who, me? |
| 00:18:36 |
God forbid! |
| 00:18:39 |
Of course I didn't believe a word. |
| 00:18:41 |
But now that you brought me |
| 00:18:45 |
You believe that nutcase? |
| 00:18:49 |
Mine! |
| 00:18:50 |
It's my house! I live here! |
| 00:18:53 |
Understand? |
| 00:18:56 |
This is my writing desk, |
| 00:19:00 |
a page from my novel, |
| 00:19:03 |
a sentence I left unfinished |
| 00:19:10 |
Domident toothpaste... |
| 00:19:12 |
Fresh towels... |
| 00:19:16 |
My built in closet, with my clothes... |
| 00:19:22 |
The photo album... |
| 00:19:25 |
What more do you want? |
| 00:19:29 |
Sorry? |
| 00:19:31 |
Your phone number. I don't have it. |
| 00:19:33 |
2236877. |
| 00:19:36 |
Let's call your place |
| 00:19:39 |
and see who picks up. |
| 00:19:48 |
It's ringing! |
| 00:19:49 |
You hear? It's ringing! |
| 00:19:59 |
Hello? Ovidiu? |
| 00:20:01 |
Yes! |
| 00:20:03 |
He is not at home? |
| 00:20:05 |
I'll call back another time. |
| 00:20:09 |
Wrong number. |
| 00:20:18 |
Let me drop you off! |
| 00:20:22 |
Where are you going alone, |
| 00:20:34 |
Here. |
| 00:20:41 |
After that, I gave you a call. |
| 00:20:45 |
You're all the same. |
| 00:20:46 |
You get dumped |
| 00:20:52 |
Come on. |
| 00:21:21 |
Shocked? Since I started with Pepe, |
| 00:21:25 |
I changed careers. |
| 00:21:30 |
Coming, darling? |
| 00:21:34 |
I bet you've never been |
| 00:21:39 |
Otherwise you wouldn't run |
| 00:22:36 |
Ready to wake up, Sir? |
| 00:22:41 |
It's worth opening your eyes |
| 00:22:46 |
Besides, the publishers |
| 00:22:49 |
are already here with the contracts. |
| 00:22:52 |
What time is it? |
| 00:22:55 |
And I'm serving your breakfast... |
| 00:23:04 |
Today it's Sunday, we're free. |
| 00:23:06 |
You know what I was thinking? |
| 00:23:10 |
What about taking me to a restaurant? |
| 00:23:15 |
Super! |
| 00:23:17 |
Let's do it for real! |
| 00:23:22 |
Who's paying? I'm flat broke. |
| 00:23:24 |
Nobody! We take up a collection. |
| 00:23:27 |
What's our cut? |
| 00:23:29 |
We don't get a cent! |
| 00:23:33 |
But we can at least taste |
| 00:23:35 |
all those delicacies |
| 00:23:40 |
French champagne... |
| 00:23:43 |
Seafood salad. |
| 00:23:46 |
Chateaubriand flambé... |
| 00:23:50 |
Manchurian caviar... |
| 00:23:54 |
Trout in sauce... |
| 00:23:57 |
Exactly 2,700,000 lei. |
| 00:24:02 |
Radu, Mircea and Alin |
| 00:24:18 |
Sorry, we don't have that much. |
| 00:24:20 |
I didn't hear you. |
| 00:24:23 |
I didn't hear you. |
| 00:24:30 |
I can leave you my papers, |
| 00:24:33 |
and come back tomorrow and pay. |
| 00:24:35 |
Don't give me that crap. |
| 00:24:38 |
And on with the karaoke! |
| 00:25:03 |
Now we're going to hear |
| 00:25:27 |
He's going to kill my husband! |
| 00:25:33 |
Wait a minute, let's talk! |
| 00:25:35 |
Don't worry, |
| 00:25:38 |
Let's behave like civilized people... |
| 00:25:44 |
Playing games, smart ass? |
| 00:25:51 |
You want me to pay |
| 00:25:56 |
Out of my own pocket? |
| 00:26:00 |
For you, motherfucker? |
| 00:26:01 |
Out of my own pocket? |
| 00:26:05 |
Have some more! |
| 00:26:08 |
Some more? |
| 00:26:11 |
Some more? |
| 00:26:24 |
SAVAGE BEATING |
| 00:26:27 |
You could have smiled a little. |
| 00:26:32 |
The eyes look more convincing |
| 00:26:35 |
Not a bad job, though. |
| 00:26:37 |
Would his mother recognize him? |
| 00:26:42 |
The "Popescus"? |
| 00:26:44 |
The most widespread Romanian name. |
| 00:26:46 |
Don t you recognize my style? |
| 00:26:50 |
I don't sign everything. |
| 00:26:55 |
How many suckers |
| 00:26:57 |
Only one, isn't it? |
| 00:27:01 |
Only one sucker, Miruna? |
| 00:27:04 |
My sweet, my darling, |
| 00:27:07 |
can you leave us alone for a minute? |
| 00:27:14 |
Yes, your wife was in on it too. |
| 00:27:19 |
The waiter. |
| 00:27:24 |
The voice on the answering machine... |
| 00:27:27 |
Saturday night... |
| 00:27:29 |
Ungureanu. |
| 00:27:30 |
Bingo! You ve just won a color TV! |
| 00:27:33 |
No joke. Tomorrow evening |
| 00:27:36 |
Who? |
| 00:27:39 |
You two, the Popescus! |
| 00:27:41 |
Face to face with the people, |
| 00:27:45 |
Don't count on me. |
| 00:27:48 |
Unbelievable! |
| 00:27:52 |
Has all activity stopped? |
| 00:27:55 |
Hello! Anybody home? |
| 00:27:58 |
Mr. Puiutz, our collaboration |
| 00:28:01 |
Zorro, stay calm! We have to prepare |
| 00:28:06 |
We've done two weeks training for this. |
| 00:28:09 |
There's a lot of money at stake. |
| 00:28:12 |
But above all, we are going |
| 00:28:15 |
Doesn't that word dazzle you, |
| 00:28:20 |
You take me for someone else. |
| 00:28:24 |
My name is not Popescu. |
| 00:28:28 |
I'm not even a real writer, |
| 00:28:31 |
I'm just a school teacher |
| 00:28:35 |
masterpieces |
| 00:28:42 |
Any remarks about my face |
| 00:28:45 |
and I'll confiscate cell phones. |
| 00:28:50 |
Take out a blank page. |
| 00:29:02 |
Is Robert Dobrovicescu here? |
| 00:29:05 |
He's been absent for days. Why? |
| 00:29:08 |
Can we have a talk? |
| 00:29:10 |
"Patriotic sentiment |
| 00:29:14 |
And we work in silence, okay? |
| 00:29:18 |
I'm listening. |
| 00:29:20 |
Do us a favor. |
| 00:29:23 |
If the boy shows up |
| 00:29:27 |
give him a message from us. |
| 00:29:29 |
From us? Meaning? |
| 00:29:33 |
Doesn't matter. Say two gentlemen. |
| 00:29:35 |
The important thing is the message. |
| 00:29:38 |
The Baron is very upset. |
| 00:29:40 |
He wants the money in three days. |
| 00:29:43 |
If the boy doesn't show up |
| 00:29:47 |
Life is complex and full of surprises. |
| 00:29:52 |
I don't get it. |
| 00:29:54 |
He didn't get it. |
| 00:29:57 |
The boy trashed a brand new car. |
| 00:30:01 |
The owner is really upset. |
| 00:30:03 |
Really upset, that's the message. |
| 00:30:05 |
He wants money for the damage |
| 00:30:09 |
If he plays hide and seek, |
| 00:30:14 |
And it might be worse. |
| 00:30:16 |
How much does he owe? |
| 00:30:19 |
He should be a smart kid |
| 00:30:22 |
life is complex and full of surprises. |
| 00:30:25 |
He's young and it'd be a shame |
| 00:30:29 |
Or worse... |
| 00:30:32 |
How much money, did you say? |
| 00:30:34 |
3,000 bucks... |
| 00:30:36 |
It's the thought that counts, |
| 00:30:39 |
That's enough! |
| 00:30:41 |
One move and I'll squeeze one off! |
| 00:30:45 |
God dammit! |
| 00:30:49 |
Write your essays! |
| 00:30:54 |
Who did that to your face? |
| 00:30:56 |
Nobody. |
| 00:30:58 |
If you want revenge, |
| 00:31:07 |
Don't let me see any copying. |
| 00:31:17 |
3,000 dollars... |
| 00:31:19 |
Bucescu! The cell phone! |
| 00:31:22 |
Florin... |
| 00:31:25 |
Calinescu... |
| 00:31:29 |
brings you "Scandal of the Day", |
| 00:31:31 |
talk show of the new millennium! |
| 00:31:34 |
Tonight, we have three special guests! |
| 00:31:39 |
Good evening to all of you. |
| 00:31:43 |
and I have to tell you I'm disgusted. |
| 00:31:47 |
This morning, looking for |
| 00:31:51 |
I suddenly realized I'm fed up. |
| 00:31:55 |
I'm sick of politicians, |
| 00:31:59 |
sick of public and political scandals. |
| 00:32:03 |
Where are the ordinary people |
| 00:32:08 |
Where are you, people who |
| 00:32:11 |
Let us meet an ordinary couple |
| 00:32:15 |
who's struggling hard, like you, |
| 00:32:17 |
like myself, |
| 00:32:20 |
And the core of their story |
| 00:32:25 |
Ladies and gentlemen, |
| 00:32:27 |
on my right, |
| 00:32:36 |
And on my left, |
| 00:32:40 |
waiter at the Karaoke Club. |
| 00:32:43 |
Good evening. |
| 00:32:45 |
Mr. Stanete, could you describe, |
| 00:32:51 |
the incident that occurred |
| 00:32:55 |
These two came to the restaurant, |
| 00:32:58 |
they ate and drank all evening |
| 00:33:01 |
and then refused to pay |
| 00:33:04 |
on account |
| 00:33:07 |
I can't go to my boss |
| 00:33:11 |
He'd fire me. |
| 00:33:16 |
I worked him over a little. |
| 00:33:20 |
Could we have |
| 00:33:24 |
Is this what you call "a little"? |
| 00:33:28 |
A little, at first... |
| 00:33:30 |
Later... |
| 00:33:33 |
we got heated. |
| 00:33:35 |
Before hearing |
| 00:33:39 |
here's the telephone number to call |
| 00:33:43 |
with your questions and comments. |
| 00:33:45 |
Please write it down. |
| 00:33:55 |
Hello, this is ProTV. |
| 00:33:57 |
That night was |
| 00:34:00 |
Yes. My husband had saved |
| 00:34:04 |
And I insisted we go out. |
| 00:34:07 |
Usually we can't afford to. |
| 00:34:09 |
What is your monthly income? |
| 00:34:12 |
We earn 3 million lei between us. |
| 00:34:15 |
Where are my glasses? |
| 00:34:17 |
In 65 years, I've never lost anything. |
| 00:34:20 |
That's your fault! |
| 00:34:23 |
Remember our 40th anniversary? |
| 00:34:27 |
I washed your socks |
| 00:34:31 |
Shut up! I'm waiting to go live. |
| 00:34:34 |
It's a scam! |
| 00:34:37 |
Come here, |
| 00:34:40 |
We ve never had great ambitions. |
| 00:34:43 |
Maybe we hoped for a better life... |
| 00:34:45 |
Remember her? |
| 00:34:47 |
The couple who couldn't pay |
| 00:34:51 |
It's a scam! |
| 00:34:53 |
Tell us how you first met. |
| 00:34:56 |
He wrote me a poem... |
| 00:34:59 |
I was in a crowded tram. |
| 00:35:02 |
He slipped a piece of paper |
| 00:35:04 |
I found it when I took out money |
| 00:35:09 |
I always carry it with me. |
| 00:35:16 |
"The smile she gave me in that tram |
| 00:35:21 |
"My life became a traffic jam |
| 00:35:24 |
"And so did Mr. Ion Susai's." |
| 00:35:27 |
Who was Mr. Ion Susai? |
| 00:35:30 |
A friend of mine, |
| 00:35:34 |
Florin, we can take calls. |
| 00:35:37 |
The control room |
| 00:35:42 |
Good evening |
| 00:35:45 |
Good evening. |
| 00:35:46 |
I'm Pavel Puiutz |
| 00:35:50 |
I've read this story |
| 00:35:52 |
in the papers and |
| 00:35:54 |
These two people |
| 00:35:55 |
are not vagrants. |
| 00:35:57 |
They both have jobs, |
| 00:35:58 |
both earn salaries. |
| 00:36:02 |
a decent life, |
| 00:36:06 |
I totally agree with you. |
| 00:36:09 |
Do you have a question |
| 00:36:12 |
An announcement. |
| 00:36:13 |
This morning, my foundation |
| 00:36:15 |
opened a bank account |
| 00:36:18 |
at the Romanian Bank for Prosperity. |
| 00:36:22 |
We've already made a deposit |
| 00:36:24 |
and we'd like |
| 00:36:28 |
so that other people |
| 00:36:33 |
Mr. Puiutz, say the number |
| 00:36:38 |
The number is... |
| 00:36:44 |
It's my turn! |
| 00:36:48 |
Can't see a thing! |
| 00:36:50 |
We have a second call. |
| 00:36:53 |
Do you hear me? |
| 00:36:54 |
Perfectly. |
| 00:36:56 |
Good evening to you and your guests. |
| 00:36:59 |
Good evening. |
| 00:37:01 |
I want to ask one question. |
| 00:37:03 |
The government has promised |
| 00:37:07 |
When? |
| 00:37:09 |
Do you have any idea |
| 00:37:13 |
Of course! |
| 00:37:16 |
they go to restaurants |
| 00:37:18 |
and don't care about |
| 00:37:22 |
Thank you for your contribution. |
| 00:37:25 |
It seems we have another call. |
| 00:37:29 |
Mr. Fotica from Bucharest. |
| 00:37:32 |
I have to tell you |
| 00:37:36 |
Please mind your language. |
| 00:37:39 |
Just let me explain. |
| 00:37:42 |
I've seen these crooks |
| 00:37:45 |
doing the same lousy routine! |
| 00:37:47 |
Some customers paid for them, |
| 00:37:51 |
Believe me, they're pulling your leg! |
| 00:37:55 |
This is a serious accusation. |
| 00:37:59 |
Any reaction? |
| 00:38:00 |
It's absurd! How can he imagine... |
| 00:38:02 |
Lies! |
| 00:38:05 |
I'm sure it's a mistake. |
| 00:38:07 |
I'm afraid not. |
| 00:38:09 |
It seems this gentleman |
| 00:38:13 |
No point in trying to hide it. |
| 00:38:20 |
Maybe you'd like to tell us more. |
| 00:38:24 |
Maybe one night I kicked you out |
| 00:38:29 |
Right! |
| 00:38:32 |
At The Cool Club? |
| 00:38:34 |
Lmagine that, |
| 00:38:38 |
Soon we'll hear |
| 00:38:41 |
or in the Securitate, |
| 00:38:44 |
Just a nice practical joke at the phone, |
| 00:38:48 |
It's no joke, Mr. Florin! |
| 00:38:52 |
You're with friends, aren't you? |
| 00:38:55 |
Is that a problem? |
| 00:38:57 |
I have a question for you. |
| 00:39:00 |
What form of transport did you use, |
| 00:39:03 |
to go to the restaurant |
| 00:39:07 |
My own car. |
| 00:39:10 |
What do you do for a living? |
| 00:39:12 |
And what do you study? |
| 00:39:14 |
I study in a private university. |
| 00:39:19 |
Now I will show you something. |
| 00:39:24 |
Please bring the camera |
| 00:39:28 |
so everyone can see it. |
| 00:39:34 |
I will bet Mr. Student here |
| 00:39:37 |
has no idea how much this costs |
| 00:39:40 |
Will you take the bet? |
| 00:39:42 |
It could be interesting. |
| 00:39:45 |
Mr. Fotica? |
| 00:39:47 |
If you're still there... |
| 00:39:50 |
Tell us how much |
| 00:39:54 |
Personally, I've lost track. |
| 00:39:58 |
Come on, Mr. Florin! |
| 00:40:04 |
Speaking of playing the crowd, |
| 00:40:07 |
instead of wasting your time |
| 00:40:11 |
I suggest you take the tram or the bus, |
| 00:40:13 |
at least once a year, |
| 00:40:18 |
You'd see a bit of real life |
| 00:40:21 |
and maybe you'll feel less |
| 00:40:26 |
Don't make fun of what |
| 00:40:30 |
If life blessed you with rich parents, |
| 00:40:34 |
try at least to be... more modest |
| 00:40:38 |
if you can. |
| 00:40:42 |
We'll be back after the break. |
| 00:40:49 |
Want to make a deposit? |
| 00:40:51 |
I want to withdraw |
| 00:40:55 |
At the current rate of exchange, |
| 00:40:58 |
that makes 90,540,000 lei. |
| 00:41:00 |
Password, please. |
| 00:41:04 |
Password? |
| 00:41:05 |
Yes, your account is protected. |
| 00:41:09 |
You can't withdraw |
| 00:41:17 |
Can't do it... |
| 00:41:20 |
leave a poor man |
| 00:41:23 |
What did you think I do, charity? |
| 00:41:29 |
He's a rookie. |
| 00:41:32 |
The word copyright doesn't ring a bell? |
| 00:41:36 |
Yesterday on TV |
| 00:41:39 |
Maybe. You too had lower claims, |
| 00:41:43 |
Come on, boys! |
| 00:41:45 |
We've been working nights, |
| 00:41:51 |
Don't be sulky. Have a drink! |
| 00:41:53 |
What if I tell the police? |
| 00:41:56 |
Slow down, boys! |
| 00:42:00 |
What did you say? |
| 00:42:02 |
He's really is a rookie. |
| 00:42:06 |
How about singing a happy song? |
| 00:42:24 |
Give me 3,000 dollars, as a loan. |
| 00:42:28 |
3,000 dollars? |
| 00:42:30 |
What manners, |
| 00:42:33 |
"Give me!" |
| 00:42:34 |
I need it. |
| 00:42:38 |
You've flunked out, teacher. |
| 00:42:41 |
You'll have to revise a little. |
| 00:42:43 |
Come back and impress me! |
| 00:42:46 |
Move me! Bring me to tears! |
| 00:42:51 |
Tell me about the poor Cinderella |
| 00:42:55 |
What does she need? A fur coat? |
| 00:43:04 |
An out stretched hand |
| 00:43:09 |
Be a pro, for God's sake! |
| 00:43:23 |
Popescu. |
| 00:43:46 |
What happened? |
| 00:43:51 |
No strings attached. |
| 00:43:54 |
What is this? |
| 00:43:57 |
It's for Robert. |
| 00:43:59 |
He needs it. |
| 00:44:03 |
That boy is a bum. |
| 00:44:07 |
Let him fend for himself. |
| 00:44:11 |
I'm telling you now, |
| 00:44:16 |
I have to run along. |
| 00:44:19 |
Remember where I live? |
| 00:44:22 |
Drop by at 9 p.m. |
| 00:44:25 |
I'll be waiting. |
| 00:44:35 |
Mom! |
| 00:44:40 |
Sleeping with your clothes on... |
| 00:44:41 |
Why didn't you wake me up? |
| 00:44:43 |
I didn't have the heart to. |
| 00:44:45 |
You must call a certain Mr. Puiutz... |
| 00:45:29 |
Looking for the young lady? |
| 00:45:32 |
She went out earlier. |
| 00:45:36 |
Rex! Down! |
| 00:45:38 |
You're looking for the girl |
| 00:45:42 |
Do you know where she went? |
| 00:45:44 |
Domident! Anywhere! |
| 00:45:46 |
She had a suitcase |
| 00:45:52 |
But who are you? |
| 00:46:08 |
Cheers. |
| 00:46:14 |
Let's hear another one. |
| 00:46:23 |
"Romanian girls are |
| 00:46:28 |
"Those beautiful, |
| 00:46:32 |
"But they still love their country |
| 00:46:39 |
"In spite of their big crush |
| 00:46:47 |
Divine. |
| 00:46:50 |
Say it once more, I want to learn it. |
| 00:47:21 |
1213 years old, |
| 00:47:32 |
Robert? |
| 00:47:34 |
What are you doing here? |
| 00:47:37 |
I'm hiding. |
| 00:47:39 |
It's all right. You can go home. |
| 00:47:41 |
What's all right? |
| 00:47:45 |
No shit! |
| 00:47:46 |
You had a stroke of luck. |
| 00:47:49 |
Go home and talk to Diana. |
| 00:47:56 |
Diana, your sister. |
| 00:47:58 |
You're really stoned. |
| 00:48:01 |
I haven't got a sister. |
| 00:48:03 |
Must've been my sister |
| 00:48:10 |
That one... |
| 00:48:13 |
She's not my sister. |
| 00:48:15 |
She's a girl from the block. |
| 00:48:36 |
You can't lend me 3,000 U SD, |
| 00:48:40 |
Not really, man. |
| 00:48:42 |
Don't laugh. I can't either. |
| 00:48:48 |
You know, Robert... |
| 00:48:51 |
There are plenty people in this world |
| 00:48:54 |
who aren't worth |
| 00:48:59 |
You're top of the list. |
| 00:49:03 |
Even the Baron's thugs |
| 00:49:11 |
So, why did I break my ass |
| 00:49:35 |
Let's go. |
| 00:49:38 |
You have to sleep. |
| 00:49:39 |
I'm taking you to a lady friend. |
| 00:49:47 |
I've located him. |
| 00:50:02 |
Is this your stop? That'll be 50,000. |
| 00:50:06 |
Beat it. |
| 00:50:11 |
Run! |
| 00:50:23 |
What do you want? |
| 00:50:25 |
Here he is. |
| 00:50:26 |
Where have you been? |
| 00:50:29 |
You scared me to death! |
| 00:50:32 |
I can't believe it. You're drunk! |
| 00:50:34 |
One doesn't earn that much everyday! |
| 00:50:37 |
This calls for a drink. |
| 00:50:39 |
He who never touches alcohol... |
| 00:50:45 |
How do you feel |
| 00:50:48 |
What are your plans for the money? |
| 00:50:55 |
Please, one at a time! |
| 00:51:16 |
I'm happy for this couple. |
| 00:51:18 |
Our foundation prefers to help |
| 00:51:22 |
instead of spreading popcorn |
| 00:51:27 |
Sorry, it's too crowded over there. |
| 00:51:41 |
Marriage certificate. |
| 00:51:43 |
Let's have a picture |
| 00:52:11 |
Enough for tonight. |
| 00:52:15 |
Thank you all and good luck. |
| 00:52:24 |
That's all. I'll go home myself. |
| 00:52:27 |
Hope you have everything you need. |
| 00:52:29 |
Mr. Popescu... |
| 00:52:31 |
May I remind you that you owe me, |
| 00:52:36 |
3,000 dollars. |
| 00:52:41 |
Don't bother, I know my way out. |
| 00:52:44 |
We've been working days, |
| 00:52:51 |
It's late. Shall we go to bed? |
| 00:53:00 |
We'll clean up tomorrow. |
| 00:53:10 |
What time do you get up? |
| 00:53:12 |
Eight. I have to be at work at nine. |
| 00:53:16 |
Wake me up too, I'll fix breakfast. |
| 00:53:19 |
It's all right. |
| 00:53:26 |
Darling, not tonight. |
| 00:53:30 |
Do you mind? |
| 00:53:34 |
I'm going to write for a while. |
| 00:53:39 |
If I fall asleep, |
| 00:53:46 |
Honey... |
| 00:53:47 |
Can you believe it? Ten years! |
| 00:53:53 |
They passed |
| 00:54:05 |
"The night wormed |
| 00:54:08 |
"like the hand of a thief in my pocket." |
| 00:54:14 |
No, don Pepe. |
| 00:54:28 |
"...like me, |
| 00:54:48 |
Babe! Are you free tonight? |
| 00:55:18 |
What do we have here? |
| 00:55:22 |
Get in the car! |
| 00:55:24 |
Why? |
| 00:55:26 |
"Punk kid chased by thugs." |
| 00:55:29 |
"He's better off begging, |
| 00:55:38 |
You feel pity for this little scumbag, |
| 00:55:41 |
this creep, |
| 00:55:44 |
Watch your... |
| 00:55:47 |
You feel pity? |
| 00:55:48 |
I've got your money! |
