-Renovate Belgrade!!!Redecorate

Belgrade!!!Paint Belgrade!!!

-Please, come in.

-Yes? When did you notice that?

Sorry, where do you work? Where's he working?

-Why did they ask you to go there?

Is it because...? -Because of what?

-You said they might be checking on you?

-Is he here?-Who? -My late father,

that tenant - who else!

-No. -Where is he? -Ilija, what

happened? -Nothing...

...just not yet. -Will you finally

tell me why they asked you to go there?

-Because of him. -Because of him?

-Have I told you we don't need a tenant?

-You have. -Yes, I've told you 100 times...

...but you insisted as if we're starving,

so you did it, but you did me in too!

-Who placed this sanatorium here?!!

- I've always told you what to do and

what not to do. But you don't listen.

-Do you know who he is? -You mean, by

vocation? -By everything!!!

-He told me he was a tailor in Paris, and now

he wants to open a shop here. -OK, and?

-And what?

-Who is he, what's he doing here?

-I don't ask, he doesn't say, he pays

on time... -How does he afford rent?

-Tell me what happened there, Ilija!

-That man, our tenant, Petar Markov

Jakovljevic, that tenant with three names...

...is a mean and dangerous man. Police's

been watching him for a long time...

...they asked me what he is doing, who

are his friends and who's visiting him...

-Who did you talk to?

-With a police inspector...

-He told you he's dangerous?

-No. -How come you know he is

dangerous?

-Police never inquires about a

good and honest man..

-As soon as he comes back, we'll give

him notice, he'll pack and leave...

-I told the same to inspector, but he

said not to make fuss about it...

...he said he's just suspicious for now.

He's probably done something...

...against our country. If he was common

criminal, they would got him by now...

-Did you tell inspector about your heart?

-Are you nuts, he's not a doctor!

-Than I asked him, because I can see he

didn't tell me everything, I said "Comrade..."

...are you suspecting me? You know I

was in prison for two years..

-He said "I didn't know that". But on

his table, there was this thick blue folder...

...with coffee stains all over....

My case, for sure.

-You'd never tell he's inspector, he's..

...tidy, well dressed, you know...

in my time, you could recognize them from afar.

That was their tactic, as soon as

you see him, you know who is he.

Today, you can't tell who they are.

That way it seems there's more of them.

He also asked me how we're handling

inflation? I said, excellent...

..we accepted stabilization,it's a holly

thing for us. Well, Danica...

..he also asked me did he receieve

any phone calls from Paris, I said...

...so far no one called him...-What are

you saying, they called him...

-When???

-A few times...

-Jesus, why didn't you tell me?!?

-I didn't know it was important.

-It is!! If I told them there were no calls,

they'll think I'm working for them!

-Hallo,can I speak with Comrade Drazic?

Ah, it's you...Ilija Cvorovic speaking...

I came by this morning for medical...

Oh, sorry, I frequently go to the doctor's.

...I told you no one called him but my

wife just told me they called him...a few times.

-I've told you our conversation was

purely informative, don't worry, good bye.

-Good bye...

-What did he say? -Not to get upset, easy

for him when that villain isn't in his house.

-When did you clean his room last time?

-Yesterday. -Give me the key!

-What for?

-Give me the key!

-Let's go...

-"Petite paquette"...

...some kind of medication?

-He's a diabetic, his brother sends him insuline

every month from Paris. -Stay on watch!

-This is just a plain calculator.

-Yes, I can see, I'm not blind...

During the war I saw watches and

pens that blow up and cut off hands

-How big is our savings?

-We don't have any savings!

-And do you know how much he saved?

-He worked for 20 years abroad...

-How long have I worked? My whole life.

-They pay well over there.

-"Over there"? You think he earned this...

...French are paying US dollars

to our "famous couturier"!!!

-Here he comes!

-Put on coffee, no sugar for him and

be carefull...

...behave as always, quietly,

kindly...

...and don't say something stupid.

-Comrade Jakovljevic, hello! -Hello, sir.

-How about some coffee, it's been a while.

-I just told my wife this Jakovljevic

seems to avoid us...

-Are you mad at us??

-No, it's just that I'm constantly in a hurry.

-Please do come in. -Stay for 5 minutes,

have some coffee. -All right.

-A cigarette? -Ah, no thank you I don't

smoke. -So, how's your health?

-Comrade Cvorovic, only my illness

serves me well, nothing else does.

-How about your work? -I'm going

completely crazy, Mr. Cvorovic...

-What's the problem? Maybe we can help?

-It's been 9 months since they've

promised me a location for my taylor shop...

...but yesterday everything fell through.

They said that according to...

...the city developement plan, that

location is reserved for TV sevice shop.

-So what are you going to do now?

-That's nothing, comrade Jakovljevic!

-Do you know we've lived for 25 years in

sheds and basements?...

...he got heart condition and I got

rheumatic knees...

..then we took a mortgage for this house

and now we are in debts up to here!

-Danica! Our problems are under control!

-One more thing...

...we took one worry off our backs but

another one showed up...

...our daughter graduated 5 years ago.

She's a stomatologist and now she can't find a job...

...people don't have two tooth in their

heads but there's no job for a dentist! -Danica!

..as long as there are jobs for 100 000

politicians! -What are you talking about?

-Do you think their kids are waiting

in line for jobs?

-They first secure them jobs and

then they give birth to them!

-I'm sorry, my friends are waiting for

me! -Please stay, finish your coffee...

-Another time, mr. Cvorovic. -No problem,

come by whenever you can. -Good bye.

-Are you crazy, you stupid woman?

Can't you tell he's provoking us..

..and gathering information? -What have I said

that's untrue? -Shut up.

-As if you know what's true! -I do. -There are

people in this country whose job is to know the truth.

-I thought the same story all over again,

when manager came in and...

..said "Congratulations, we hired you.."

-And I'm looking at him, I almost fainted..

..and I ask him "I got the job?"...

..you know what, if I knew you'll

cry this much, I wouldn't accept that job! Mom!

-My baby doctor!

-Don't tell him yet, first I wanna give

him hard time for what happened before.

-Daddy, is it your heart? -Ilija, what

happened? -Nothing,I fell and I got some bruises

-Where did you fall? -On the ground,

where else?

-Why are you looking at me like that?

I'm fine, give me some schnapps!

-What so funny? Is it because I fell?

-Daddy I got the job.

-You got the job? -Yep, I'm starting

on monday, childrens hospital.

-Ilija...-Ah, yes, here, take your
