Cheers.

Hello, Aksim?

I'm in trouble, help me.

I've heard you've got a singer.

She can work miracles.

Go serve the customer.

Wait till he comes in.

- Go water the pole.

What's her name? Medusa?

Damn, disconnected again.

The devil's playing with that phone.

The line got disconnected again.

I told you:
It's the devil.

Damn it. Go water the telephone pole.

I can't do business this way.

She's getting on my nerves.

Hey you. Come here.

Who? Me?

Stop acting funny, you're not waiting for

anyone. You're following me all the time.

I only want a lemonade.

Of course.

Go water the pole.

Hurry up. Grab a bucket.

Go water the pole.

What a jerk.

Pour.

I don't hear you... I don't hear anything.

Pour.

Now I can hear you.

Loud and clear.

Send that singer with the fast train.

She begins tomorrow.

And my lemonade?

You'll get that when

when the goose grow a beard.

Music.

My dear grandson.

I brought you some clothes.

What does the doc say?

That I'll live to become 100,

if they leave me alone.

And your liver?

- Completely gone to pot.

You shouldn't drink anymore.

What? I will drink.

I will drink if I feel like it.

This is a hospital.

Music isn't allowed here.

Doctor, you've got to make

an end to this.

Imagine what it would be like if

all patients brought an orchestra.

You don't have the right to be so cross.

It's a matter of respect.

What a wonderful life.

Excellent booze. I'm on fire.

Grandson, I've got to tell you something.

You don't have a mother,

your father is no good.

I sold the cement factory.

Up in smoke. I sold it to

that crook, Dadan.

I took the money.

For your future.

If you need money,

go to my friend...

...whom I haven't seen in 25 years.

His name is...

I know. Grga Pitic.

- You know him?

You've told me about your friendship

a thousand times.

A seven feet giant with

hands like shovels.

He's got two rows of teeth.

One gold, the other normal.

Elegant as a vampire.

Music... aggression.

Shoot me.

Here's a flowerpot.

Leave me alone, Apin.

I'll tell you something, old man.

I despise death.

"Louis, I think this is the beginning

of a beautiful friendship. "

Boss, try to taste the difference.

Our whisky is better than the real thing.

Logical. Our technology is better.

Where are you, children?

- We're here, grandpa.

Sit down.

That's enough, children.

You, what have you've been up to?

- You know, I was looking for a wife.

He's been to 28 fairs.

- And did he find a wife?

Answer him, jackass.

There are enough women for fun and

making out, but not to marry.

Why? All your friends are married

and have children.

When I was your age I had

been married four times.

The sister?

Find a girl and get it over with.

Don't get excited. What was number five

like? The one that stole your heart?

Tell me.

My darling.

Only the memory of her was

enough to lighten my heart.

My darling...

That's family.

As soon as you saw her, you knew

she was the one. That's what I want too.

When will that be?

When I'm dead?

Why don't you be a good boy and

marry for him.

Yesterday I had another attack.

I can barely see.

Again?

- Again.

I beg you for the last time:

Find yourself a wife.

Take me to the hospital

to recover.

I'll get out for your marriage.

Bring me a daughter in law.

Ok, grandad.

Kssss, cat.

Black cats are bad luck.

Mincha, brother.

Take care of the passenger train,

I'll take the goods train.

There's the train.

One...

...two, three...

...five...

...six...

...nineteen...

...and twenty.

All's well.

This calls for a celebration.

I was scared shitless to be screwed.

The train is here, as promised.

The money is here too, as promised.

You got what you asked for.

I was anxious when the train

crossed the border.

Is all going ahead of schedule?

- You made a promise.

Cheers.

Why are you hiding?

Damnit, I call the shots around here.

Stop, youngman.

That suitcase is mine.

But I gave everybody their share.

Where's the rest?

It's all, I swear on the Bible.

There must be a misunderstanding.

You black soul!

I should finish you.

- No.

Shame on you.

Here's the little birdy.

He's sleeping.

My suitcase.

Give back my suitcase, thief.

I spit on your dead.

Get down, you pig.

I want my suitcase back.

I'll climb up there.

The moment has arrived

for you and me...

...to look each other in the eye.

Just you and me.

Bloody son of a b*tch.

I'm here.

Man, this is way too high.

Dadan, brother.

Dadan, It's me. Matko.

The train is not here.

- What?

Did he cross the border?

Answer me. Where are my 17 wagons

I paid for?

It crossed the border 30 minutes ago.

It's here somewhere.

Here? Where?

You don't lose track of a train.

Somebody drugged me.

I was asleep for only 10 minutes.

Who done it?

He did.

It was him.

- That pig?

My Bulgarian custom officers

didn't see no train.

They're lying. They're double crossing,

but they will have to pay.

A train rides on track,

not just through the woods.

It can't just have gone up in smoke,

or can it? Boss?

No way, damnit.

My dear public...

After a triumphant tour in

North-Africa, Asia and Australia...

...I'm proud to present to you:

Medusa.

An act, never seen before:

...to pull a nail from a beam

in the most spectacular fashion.

It wasn't an ordinary fight,

but more one man against King Kong.

Who was the man?

- Me.

It wasn't an ordinary Bulgarian.

That jerk could only pass the

doorway sideways.

Name?

- Rambo.

A warm welcome for this

youngman named Rambo.

Please hold your breaths,

my honoured guests...

The great, unforgettable,

breathtaking moment is near.

It will be burned into your memory.

I proposed an honest fight.

But he kicked me in the balls.

I grabbed him by the hair and whirled

his head around. He gets angry.

I had to save my skin after all,

didn't I?

You'll return my money tonight at

Otherwise I'll hang you by the balls

on the windmill.

So you can learn to be an astronaut.

Jerk.

Don't you have the money?

I'm in trouble.

Three wagons were mine.

I invested all I got.

I've got a cunning plan.

There's a different solution.

Yesterday I bought your father's factory

in the hospital.

The cement factory?

- I paid it.

You can always ask.

But it's not enough to cover your debt.

It's only two thirds.

I've got a better idea.

You have a marriageable son.

And I've got a marriageable sister.

We arrange a marriage

and forget your debt.

I'll give you anything you want, Dadi.

But that's impossible. - Why?

I'll bet the nail.

Name?

Don't lose your soul.

How can you propose something like that?

Your sister is 25, my son 17.

Younger men like ripe women.

And that's not all, Dadi.

What else?

- You know, you know.

She looks like a little Smurf.

Everyone calls her little Lady-bird.

So what? A diamond is small,

but valuable.

Wanna bet? Doesn't matter what.

Hands off.

Let's toast on the deal.

No. I've got it figured now.

I know who stole my train
