- Put your guns down.

Stop.

She is my sister. Understand?

I don't know you.

But I do know her.

- And I know him.

Continue your path.

My path leads to her

If you are really her brother,

we can come to an agreement.

I want to marry her immediately.

She just ran away from her wedding.

You can run away from a fake marriage,

but you can't hide from destiny.

What a sniper.

Where did that a**hole come from?

Put down your guns.

You call this driving, idiot?

You took the wrong road.

Ok, but look what I found.

Very good.

Take it easy.

This isn't necessary.

How's it going, consignore Grga?

Is it you, worthless piece of sh*t?

What are you doing here?

We were just talking.

Talking about what?

Are you here to pay off your debt?

Do you know each other?

My last resort in Italy, in 1982.

He was a student in my brigade.

The worst kind.

Because of him I lost ground.

I live nearby.

Don't you want to marry her?

- No.

I want her.

We shall see.

Now.

- Be silent when you are speaking to me.

And you, do you want my grandson?

Yes.

And you do not object to your

sister marrying my grandson?

Of course not, if they love each other.

Why do you look so sad?

What's wrong?

Ah yes, he needs to go to the factory...

...and pay back the three

wagonloads of gasoline.

Do you know how much that is?

He will pay at once.

- Of course.

And the wedding must

start inmediately.

The wedding can begin.

Music. It's my treat.

What counts, is that love conquers all.

Cheers.

Has he drank yet?

- Not yet.

My beautiful sisters.

- I hope there won't be any complications.

You will swim in your own sh*t.

Do you need anything, uncle Grga?

Have fun, I am going visit

the grave of my friend.

The grave?

Where is it? Tell me.

- Uncle Grga...

Don't you want to drink something first?

A refreshment. Eat something as well.

At this hour there are

vampires in the graveyard.

Once we are there,

it's already day again.

Whatever.

My servants will bring

you to the graveyard.

But to which graveyard?

Give me the money.

Traitor.

It was only ethical.

You must have fun. Eat and drink.

Your sister is happy, so is my son.

Like our benefactor, uncle...

Damnit.

What's the matter?

- Look.

What's the matter with him?

He is dead.

Really dead.

No. He will die the day after tomorrow,

like your father.

The wedding must continue. I can't

start over a hundred times.

Am I right?

- Completely.

Shall we put him in the attic?

We told his grandchildren,

we brought him to the graveyard.

What about the official?

- Which official?

He must cancel the first wedding

and perform the second wedding.

Don'worry,

I will get him.

Ok. We are doing well

Goddamnit...

- Eat your sh*t.

Two sixes.

There you go.

How sweet.

The more natural, the sweeter.

Fifty marks.

Look, Dadan...

In Dsseldorf it's wanted.

Are you crazy?

Do you want to stuff those horns?

Wait, Dadan.

Be a gentleman.

My stake is the factory.

You have lost that one already.

Look, you have signed this.

Ok, I still have a house.

You have lost that one too, idiot.

But you do have...

...a nice golden tooth.

That will be the stake. 500 marks, ok?

What's with the ice?

Get lost.

- What's the matter?

Damned black cat.

I am soaked. She has pissed on me.

Brother.

Where are we? Aren't we dead?

- We are.

I know I am not dead.

- They told me you were dead.

It's not true.

They have lied to you.

I am alive.

Daddy. I am glad you are alive.

Goddamnit.

The cow is dead, the milk is finished.

Granddad.

Your father is alive.

I will notify you

of the agreements...

...of holy matremony...

...and the responsibility of marriage.

I wish you a happy life.

May it last a life long...

...and enjoy each others company.

You should consider...

...fulfilling one of the most important

and beautiful tasks in life.

Be jealous, not with each other,

but on your marriage.

Honor it and protect it

against all evil.

Consider it...

When you died,

I decided to leave.

What has fallen?

Very wise. There is no sun here.

Forget your glasses. Hurry up.

Agreed?

I am having a difficult time.

I have been drinking

on the funeral, just now.

Don't forget the accordion.

In it you will find enough,

to become happy

Oh no. The deathcertificate

in stead of the weddingcertificate.

Are you crazy? Junkie.

My reputation...

Shall I call the police?

Here.

Everything is allright.

The signatures.

Fist the ladies, than the men.

The ladies don't marry each

other, stupid fool.

Don't make a fuss.

It must happen according to the law.

Do you, Afrodita Karambolo...

...take to be your husband...

...Grga Pitic junior?

Yes.

Do you, Grga Pitic junior...

...take to be your wife

Afrodita Karambolo?

Yes.

Sign the register.

According to the law you

are now husband and wife.

Wait, it's not finished yet.

Get me out of this mess. Come back.

I can't work in that manner.

There it is.

It's amazing.

Quickly!

We are not married yet.

- We will do it on the way.

Mr. Dadan, you're in trouble.

You always spoil everything.

We must continue the ceremony.

What a mess.

I can't work like that.

- Yes you can.

It must be according to the rules.

Don't shoot.

- Shut up.

We are missing the boat.

The boy has guts.

- He is right.

Zare, my grandson.

You are young, you don't understand.

What do you want from me?

- I want you to marry us.

Don't forget the accordion.

Finish the ceremony.

Sit down.

You don't have any witnesses.

- Yes we do.

Who?

- The cats.

You dirty pig.

You smell, boss.

- F*** you.

Yes.

Do you, Zare Destanov, take her

to be your wife...

Of course.

Children...

Have a good journey.

Shall we drink to it

like it is tradition?

Grandmother.

You have fooled me, daddy.

You stupid a**hole.

It's disgusting.

Nice stuff.

Thanks, daddy,

for everything you have done for me.

My soul is on fire.

Ah, children...

Dadan, brother.

"Louis, I think this is the beginning

of a beautiful friendship. "
