Boomerang Page #4

way to go about earning it.

This isn't like in the movies.

I know, but I had no

intention of hurting you.

How much money do you need?

I'm not asking what it's for.

-100 what?

Marks.

-100 Marks, eh?

Lend me 100 Marks, Tony.

I don't have it. I blew all

my money on the wedding.

Don't lie.

It didn't cost you a cent.

Please, sir, could you

lend me 100 Marks?

Me? I'm a pensioner, son.

If you guys with bars don't

have any money, who does?

I always draw the short straw.

Here you are. Take the money

and get out of here.

I can't. I'm so ashamed.

And you weren't

ashamed to threaten us?

Shame on you!

Take the 100 Marks and

get out of here! Beat it!

It's you, Nesha, eh?

You seem strangely cheerful.

I'm not. -Yes, you are.

So, the job was a success?

But you didn't abide by the

rules. This is Stampedo's turf.

And we happen to work for him.

You know that, don't you? -Yes.

The robbery didn't work.

They took my gun.

I don't even have any change.

- Don't give us that sad story.

You know that I'm emotional.

See this guy?

He's new. He doesn't talk,

he just breaks bones.

Come on,

hand over the money.

Seriously, I don't have any,

believe me.

Well, Deaf and Dumb here's

going to beat you up. -Please!

He has to a little bit.

- My neck's hurting.

Shame on you!

This job sucks!

I'm going back to college!

Gee, mom, look

at all the money!

Now there's enough

for your school trip.

And in a few days we'll have

enough for your pocket money.

The whole day nothing.

Stampedo will kill us.

Who is it?

- It's us.

Who are you?

- Not you, us!

Ah, it's you.

- Of course it's us.

What's the password?

The password!

Get inside.

Times are bad.

I have to be like this.

Inspector Butt is

cracking down on drugs.

The town is panicking. Several

suppliers have gone down.

I thought Butt did homicides.

What's he got against drugs?

He does it all.

He never sleeps.

No one's safe, not prostitutes,

transvestites, pickpockets.

He taps the opposition's

phones. Just imagine!

And that's all when he's off

duty. He works his butt off.

No one can stand in the way of

the selling and use of drugs.

There's no need to panic.

- What a happy, dignified life

I had working in the toilet.

This is a nuthouse.

Some girl got me

hooked on drugs.

When I see her, I'm going

to exterminate her.

Where did you get

all this stuff from?

Weigh out a gram for the guys,

kid. -Only a gram?

A gram for everyone.

I'm just the middleman.

Want a coffee?

- Why not?

Caffeine gives you

a kick like cocaine.

Rustle us up three

coffees, kid.

Stampedo's offering you

protection. -He can f*** off!

I've got connections.

Police chiefs, army chiefs

and Nobel prize winners

all pissed in my toilets.

Ivo Andric even

pissed in my toilet.

True, he didn't pay,

but he pissed.

And he said, 'How fragrant

your toilet smells!'

What's that? -What's up

with you, you idiot?

That's my granddaughter,

Slavica. -Granny!

I'm going to see what all

the fuss is about.

Granny! -Shut up!

Why are you shouting?

You'd never guess she worked

at the john till this morning.

And she was great at it.

She used to get 50-Mark tips.

My mom told me that.

The two of them are friends.

How's it going, kids?

- We're packing it, mister.

Carry on, sweeties.

Do me a favor, guys.

Slavica has gone into labor.

Her mom took off

with some idiot.

Take a cab to the hospital.

I'm expecting some customers.

You can have free cocaine,

plus 100 Marks.

No problem.

We can do that for you.

Get what you need and beat it.

These guys will take you.

Slavica, what are you doing

to me? -Why is she pregnant?

I don't know.

If you weren't stoned the

whole day, you'd know.

You and my mother both

neglected me. -Stop whining.

That's the world

of drugs for you.

Families fall apart, moral

values decline, nothing matters.

Bullshit!

It's like that everywhere.

This cocaine is really good.

Hello? You still haven't

brought the goods.

If you're not here soon,

I'll buy from the Romanian!

I'm a man of my word.

Get a move on!

Slavica...

That's a nice name.

You think so? No one's ever

said that to me before.

It's the nicest name

I've ever heard.

You've gotten into

Barry Crystal's cab.

No smoking, no alcohol

no love scenes.

Company rules.

Don't worry. We'll be

at the hospital soon.

And what will I do afterwards?

- After what? -After the birth.

No one will want me.

I'll be left an old maid.

I could marry you.

I mean, if you wanted to...

I mean I could.

Well, I do.

I don't have much choice.

You just want to marry me

for the cocaine, don't you?

It's not like that, honest.

I want to change my life.

Things can't go on like this.

Families are falling apart...

Get out!

- Why?

I won't have unwed expectant

mothers and junkies in my cab!

Get out I said! Don't make

me use my baseball bat!

Didn't you hear me

propose to her?

When you're married,

I'll drive you! Now get out!

Look, I had Olga and

Mickey in shot the whole time.

Then when everyone started

shooting, I heard fluttering.

I lifted the camera up and saw

a pigeon falling towards me.

And that distracted me.

And how come you didn't

see the crowd around Olga?

I thought they were panicking

because of the pigeon.

You missed a historic

shot, man.

Wow, guys, what a chick!

Way to go, Tony!

You're a genius.

This girl reminds me

of the chick last night...

Tell us the story, Bobby.

I'm coming home from

a literary night.

The topic was 'The Balkans:

the cradle of civilization'.

We've got to go, Mickey.

- I'll talk faster.

We've got an appointment...

- I almost forgot!

I'll talk faster.

I see she's looking at me.

And I realize straight away...

- Hold that thought...

She follows me to Boomerang.

I stop. She looks at me.

I go inside.

She follows me in.

As soon as we get inside, she

shoves her hand in my shorts.

I feel totally uncomfortable...

But I realize what she wants.

She orders a rum.

No, no, Scotch.

No, only yuppies

order Scotch.

She orders a rum and

knocks it back in one shot.

Then I...

What did I drink?

I drank Scotch...

No, not Scotch, I had a...

Why can't I remember

what I was drinking?

Pour me another.

Quick.

When I drink slowly,

it has no effect.

It depends on what you

want to achieve.

When I drink,

I want to get drunk.

Then you're on the

right track, madam.

Don't be so formal.

Okay.

You look good.

Looks can be deceiving.

Does that jukebox work?

- What?

Yeah, it works.

Do you know

why I look good?

Because I down

drinks in one shot.

Pour me another.

- Right away.

To the top.

Are you old-fashioned?

I've no idea.

But I've seen a lot.

Oh, the things I've seen.

But I keep my mouth shut.

It's all about experience

and lifestyle.

That's true.

I mind my own business

and I drink a little.

But sometimes I fall

into a black hole.

Kiss my ass!

Get out of here!

- I'll give you 100 Marks.

Well, if it's for cash...

okay.

No, first the money.
