Cabaret Balkan Page #4

Synopsis: In Beograd, mid-1990s, 20 people's paths crisscross one night in rage and theater. A callow youth dents a car; its owner hunts him down and trashes his father's flat. Michael, back from abroad, hopes to reclaim Natalia; her new, younger lover seems outclassed. A Bosnian drives a bus to eke out subsistence; his son works the Black Market for a sadist. A cabby buys drinks for a cop he crippled in revenge. Swarthy friends at a gym confess betrayals of each other; violence erupts, then one menaces a woman on a train. Another young woman, traumatized when a knife-wielding youth commandeers her bus, calls for help and ends up with a gun at her head. It's a cabaret macabre.

Why did he look at you?

Only you?

Why didn't he come look at me?

There is no reason, is there?

There is no reason, is there?

Yes, that's right.

-That's right! -That's righ.

Why are you doing this to me?

-Let me tell you something.

You start to lie before you even

open your mouth. You lie constantly.

I don't lie.

You're jealous.

I'm jealous?

Now I'm jealous.

Do you talk on the phone with him?

Do you date him?

So you laugh

like two fools.

You look at each other

like two doves.

Like rats.

You dance naked in the moonlight.

When somebody looks at me this way,

my dear,

I f*** him "en passant".

And then I look like a fool.

Everyone at the coffeehouse stares at you

and then you say that I'm crazy.

When they look at you,

you like it.

You like it a lot.

I like it!

-You like it!

You idiot!

Where are you going?

-What? What? You know what?

What?

F*** you!

That's your speciality,

my dear. Come here.

Take me home.

Lift your legs for me a bit.

-Take me home.

First we have to

clear something up.

There is nothing to clear up.

Take me home.

You want me to take you to him?

Now he's the one to blame.

-Who's to blame then?

Am I guilty? - It's not your fault.

He's not to blame. I'm not to blame.

Who's to blame? Santa Claus?

He's not guilty? I'm not guilty.

Who is guilty then?

Am I guilty?

Am I guilty?

I am guilty!

You're not guilty.

You're not guilty.

Let's not argue any more.

What did you do wrong?

May I help you?

Are you guilty of anything?

Have you got a problem?

Are you looking for a problem?

-No and you?

Then look for the problem.

Don't cock.

What do you want?

Everything between us

has ended a long time ago.

I don't want to see you any more.

-You're making a mistake.

Natalija, am I intruding?

Yes, you're intruding.

Who is this monkey?

It's none of your business.

-It's none of my business?

Tell him to take a walk.

-Kosta is with me.

And he'll stay here.

What do you want?

We have to talk.

-We have nothing to talk about.

Kosta?

-Don't make a scene.

How are you, Kosta?

-What did Kosta do to you?

Who is to blame?

-Who is to blame?

You're asking who's to blame?

Ask yourself twice,

who's to blame.

Who's to blame?

Who's to blame?

Natalija, let's go.

Aren't you ashamed,

of showing yourself here?

I am ashamed. I'm sorry.

I did a mistake.

I want to apologise.

Apologise?

What's it to me?

Look at him.

I want to start again.

How many times

did we start again?

Natalija...

Natalija, this time it's different.

I have learned a lot.

I have learned everything.

I don't believe a word from you.

Same story every time.

Same sh*t.

I'm fed up with you.

Only I know how

I felt when you left.

I don't... I don't want to go though

this hell one more time.

You're out of my mind, Mane.

You will never change.

You could have at least left me a

message, a letter...

Anything.

You know I hate goodbyes.

You hate goodbyes?

I'm not young any more.

I don't have time.

Natalija, I'm going.

Kosta.

I'm sorry, Kosta, just a moment.

I beg you.

Symphony orchestra.

Your symphony orchestra.

They're playing only for you.

For you only.

What are you doing?

Wait!

Idiot.

He drowned.

Because of me.

You're here, Kosta.

I'm here.

As long as we're alive and healthy.

Show us how it went.

Not now.

Come on.

Show us. Come on.

Good.

How did it go?

Who's to blame?

Let's see who's to blame.

I am guilty. I am guilty.

The fish are guilty.

The fish are guilty.

The rats are guilty.

The rats are guilty.

I am guilty. I am guilty.

In the moonlight...

When somebody is looking at you,

you like it.

You like it!

Did you speak to him

on the telephone?

Did you run naked in the moonlight?

Naked in the moonlight.

Like doves in love.

Like rats, like rats.

You look at each other

like rats.

Tongue! Tongue!

I'm guilty. I'm guilty.

When somebody looks at me this way,

i f*** him "en passant".

Bravo, bravo!

En passant.

-Bravo!

Who's to blame?

I'm guilty. I'm guilty.

He's guite good.

It was a pleasure,

to meet you.

Good night.

They're so disgusting.

-Shut up, shut up.

Make way.

I'm taking her home. Get out of my way.

Come here.

Leave her.

Leave her alone.

Leave her alone.

Leave her alone.

What does anyone that has the honour

to meet Topi, have to do?

He has to sing him something.

I can't sing.

Maybe you're not aware of the fact that you can.

Come on, try.

You better sing.

Listen to my advice.

Do you know that one:

Toni, toni, clear sun.

Clear sun.

-Clear sun.

Clear sun.

I know it.

Let's hear it.

Even I could sing better.

Start from the beginning.

Take off your clothers.

Take it off.

Undress.

Undress.

Go on.

-Topi, please no.

Please, no.

-Go on singing.

Sing.

Not further, damn you.

Sing.

Get lost!

Go home! Go!

Sing!

Sing!

I've done singing.

Now I'll f*** you up a bit.

Don't!

We wo't argue anymore!
