Why do they put you

on so many perfusions?

- They said she was fine, no?

- It's not a simple perfusion...

- it's got medicines, vitamins...

- No sh*t!

- Sure! They're good for me, right?

- It's only an impression...

- I really think it's too much.

- It's just glucose...

Only to let us Know

how nice they are!

- You're too off-putting...

- I'm not!

They Keep her on perfusions and

she thinks she's not fine.

Anyway, tomorrow she'll be dismissed

and it will be over...

We'll see about it...

They don't know it yet.

You should leave now.

I'm sleepy.

- Did they bring the results of the tests?

- No, not yet...

Don't they know you need them

in Petrosani tomorrow?

Of course they Know,

thats why they tested me!

They might bring them

tomorrow morning...

I knew it!

Yeah, maybe... anyway

thank God we'll be out of here!

We don't Know yet... I'd better

remain here under supervision...

- You see I'm not fine...

- Do you feel dizzy or What?

- Shouldn't I call Crisan?

- No, hon'...

it's no big deal, but maybe

I should remain here for a While...

You're fine!

You're just taking up a bed!

Wait a sec.

Let me take your picture...

What's got into you?

I'm not trimmed up and I'm sick...

That's the point:

I Wanna photograph you

exactly as you are right now...

- Say cheese.

- No...

- Say it!

- Cheese...

- Alex, take one of us, too.

- You're in the mood for pictures now!

Move right, into the light...

You should take the lady's photo too,

she's been so nice...

- You're right...

- Do you mind?

No...

- That's nice...

- Let me see it!

- Have you already been to the bathroom?

- No.

- But do you Wanna go?

- No.

- Why?

- Because!

Promise me that if you'll

feel the need overnight

you'll ring the bell...

- I promise...

- I'm serious, mom!

Think about it... At night,

with the perfusion on, it's dark...

Want me to find you

bleeding again?

You're exaggerating! Go home.

- See? What's so hard about it?

- You didn't ring the bell, I hope...

- I made a joke...

- it's really good!

- Let's go...

- Who rang the bell?

No one...

It was an accident...

- Did anything happen?

- No, nothing... Sorry...

Alex, you're turning me

into the laughing stock...

I Wanted to show her

it's not that difficult...

You can't joke about these things.

Don't..

Okay, bye then...

- What's up love?

- Nothing...

- What time is it'?

- A quarter to 5.

Stop Worrying.

Try having some sleep.

I'm going to the hospital.

I can't sleep anyway...

- Alex, calm down...

- I'll be right back, love.

Half an hour ago, that lady

took her to the bathroom.

- She's fine.

- Great, thanks...

I came to see

if everything's fine.

- Don't Worry we're here.

- Okay, thank you.

- What is she doing?

- Looking out the Window...

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah...

Of course she peed oh herself!

I took her to the bathroom

and then she Went back to bed.

- Are you relaxed now?

- Yeah.

I'll come straight to bed,

I'm beat.

She was Wearing

those pink pajamas again...

- Sorry?

- The pink pajamas.

- She had it on again.

- So What?

It's strange to see her

with that cat on her chest.

Go to sleep...

sunday

What's up mom? What happened?

Have you been crying?

No, hon' I Woke up at 7

in order to get ready,

and I got the results,

they brought them to me.

The triglycerides' level is over 700.

Not in there! Here...

They put it in my file

without me Knowing it...

That's why they didn't want

to show them to me:

so I wouldn't Worry.

In my first day here it was only 300

and is was still too much.

- Shouldn't it be lower now?

- It could be the perfusions...

With all the stuff they put in there!

You barely ate anything...

- Then why is it so big?

- How should I Know...

When Relu's level was 600

and he got scared,

the doctors told him

to give up drinking and smoking...

- And I'm up to 800!

- But Relu's fine, isn't he?

- It could be a mistake...

- Forget it!

That's why they hid it from me:

because it's serious!

It's nothing, really howl

I've brought you your clothes...

- You've only eaten diet stuff.

- It's definitely serious!

- All I eat turns into fat.

- No it doesn't...

If it did,

we'd all be dead by now...

This could be why

I was so sick last night...

- But are you sick now?

- Not any more, but...

- I ain't that good either...

- I'm calling Crisan...

- Did you bring me the shoes?

- Yes.

Talk to him.

- Relax!

- Leave me alone!

It's disconnected.

- What's up?

- It was Haiduc...

- What about Crisan?

- Still off.

- What did he say?

- He said sh*t.

He said it's too much.

And that we'll talk

when we come back.

F***ing doctor...

C'mon love, relax

and try calling Susu again.

Hi Susu... Fine...

We're going to Petrosani...

I looked over

the latest test results

and the triglycerides' level

is very high.

Over 800...

Regular stuff...

How shouldn't I, Susu?!

When she checked herself in it was 300.

Cottage cheese, yoghurt, tomatoes...

The normal one...

Oh, really?

Really?

I should've bought

the 0.1% fat version.

- Is there such a thing?

- Yeah, there is... Danone has it...

- F***ing sh*t!

- What did he say?

That cheese and yoghurt have fats.

And that the sugar in the fruits

also turns into fat.

Give me that file, please...

- A little thingy like that?!

- Yeah...

And that it can also be the perfusion,

'cause they should've put you

I don't know what substance

to neutralize the vii... the syn...

Who the f*** can understand

this writing?! it's like little Worms.

It's like they're doing it on purpose

so that no one can understand it...

Understand What?

I mean if something

happens to someone,

the doctor's are home free.

Here... It looks like Arabic!

I bought

that yoghurt myself, get it?

C'mon love, so What?

Calm down.

Didn't the doctors tell you

the food was fine?

My point exactly!

I should've moved her immediately

C'mon Alex, you're

overreacting!

Why do you keep nagging me

with this exaggeration business?

That's how things happens:

out of nowhere!

You go to the hospital with a cold

and they give you all kind of crap.

And now my mom's triglycerides

are the size of China

because I gave her yoghurt!

- How much do we owe you?

- Nothing, please...

Rodica helped me a lot

and there's really no need to...

As you wish... What can I say'?!

Thank you, you're very Kind...

You're welcome!

And really don't worry

-800 is a lot but it isn't that much.

- Did you hear the doctor?!

That it was almost impossible

not to happen given her diet.

- And that even 800 isn't dangerous.

- I can hear her, dad...

if it really were bad,

she wouldn't be able to stand up

and she would definitely

not look so good...

- Thank you...

- That's on the outside...

But how can I know

what's on the inside?

When she had the accident

it didn't show either, did it?

You Worry too much.

Come through here...

- Everything will be fine!

- Fine and healthy!

I talked to Susu again and he says
