H-8... Page #2

Synopsis: A bus and a truck are moving towards each other along a two-way traffic highway on a rainy day. At the very beginning we learn that a reckless driver of another car will cause them to collide while trying to pass the bus; we even learn what seats will spell doom for their occupants. The rest of the movie follows two streams of events on the bus and on the truck, getting us to know and like a wide variety of characters, wondering which ones will end up being casualties and holding breath for our favourites. The epilogue brings some more surprises...

Only after you!

Heard, as they say now!

You get here on the bus!

How many extra words!

You can say shorter!

"Of course, Nicola."

- Are you coming in or going out?

- Excuse me!

"Daddy... Just do not open it too fast!"

I promise!

"Is this some kind of rally?"

You'll see. Just do not open it yet!

No... Kiss each other!

Why should I kiss her? You said

she was an idiot! "Who?" I?!

- What can only children do!

- We understand.

"Say hello to my son-in-law!"

Thank you!

- Watch out! Her nose is bleeding!

- Yes, these buses!

Do not look at me so!

It is not easy for me to part with you.

Passengers to Belgrade,

take your seats!

Go!

Everything is fine?

Let's go, Tikhomir!

Write! Kiss Maritsa for me!

This man had a seat

ticket at number 3.

In the accident, the bus driver died and

those who at the time of the accident

were in the front seats:

Numbers 3, 4, 2 and 5.

- I apologize!

- Excuse me!

Why does this always happen with us?

"Enough!" Give me a handkerchief!

Fifth, fourth, second...

- Hi! "I thought you would not come!"

- Let me catch my breath!

There was no end to the arguments in court!

I'm not at all interested in who says what

and who made the first strike there...

But citizens want to know everything!

- And this story in the hospital?

- Interesting, but how long it was! ..

And why did I just

become a journalist?

- ( My God! What a beauty!

- And you are even more beautiful!)

(Of course, did not you see how

he looked at you!) - Who?)

(A young man with a camera.)

- ( You're jealous!

- For God's sake!)

(I can even give him our

phone number, if you want.)

(He can come in and

give you flowers.)

- ( But only when I'm at home.

- How very nice of you!)

And do not be ashamed of yourself!

I did not want to say goodbye to my dad!

Well, say:
"Daddy"!

Kut-kut-kut!

And my dad does not exist anymore!

"We'll see him again soon!" "Well, he can

not get to Belgrade on a motorcycle."

We would like to see

how you can stop it!

Oh, those new motorcycles!

- And of course you will fly by helicopter?

- Of course.

Do not ride him on a

cart like you do!

Do you remember how you juggled the plates?

Mom was so afraid. "Do you remember her?"

Of course.

I was already big. "You can

go to sleep behind." - No.

I do not want to go to bed

until we reach Zagreb.

Everything should be done according

to the schedule:
Have, work, rest...

And I hate to sit and

read after dinner.

You can not do only

what you like.

The teacher also always said so.

There after all all

children were orphans.

Some parents died in the war.

Others - in the camp

or during the bombing.

Only I had one father.

The guys kept asking:

"When will your

father come for you?"

"They probably did not know that

I was in prison." - Knew...

The time is 18:
35.

The truck and the bus were driving

at the maximum permissible speed.

But for the soldier it

was not fast enough.

In his pocket he had a leave

and a telegram:

"I was just born, I want to see

you, point, your son, the point."

During the accident, he

was sitting in front.

Do you think I should

tell him everything?

Nikola?

Did you see the soldier

when we got on the bus?

You open the newspaper and you see

that the text is full of mistakes!

"Maybe he knows our Branco?" "Who?"

The soldier. Ask him?

Try it! But this is unlikely.

Do you like her?

Yes, and if she bites -

You treat me. Going?

They say that drunkards

do not tolerate tablets

that cause aversion to alcohol.

- Yes.

But either tablets, or: "Farewell, bus!

.." Tickets, please!

- Come on! - Wait...

- Come on, come on!

Only not so...

"Is it really that hard!"

Say something witty -

that you already met somewhere.

- It's completely unfair.

- Is it? - Not at all.

Okay. Then pretend to

be romantic, tell her:

"It's good to have someone who

sees you off at the station."

This is also unintelligent.

No? Then think of something yourself.

- You do not want?

- No thanks.

All this is so trivial.

But I'll think of something.

And what about the old man?

I'll arrange everything...

Can you!

Tickets, please!

Yes, but you did not sit down in your

place. Please, change your mind.

Like this? I checked.

You have a ticket to the

sixth place, and you

sit on the fourth place.

- Oh, I'm sorry!

But nothing! In the event of an accident -

behind it is safer! "What are you saying?"

Okay. Everything is fine.

- And what else?

- Nothing!

No peace...

Excuse me...

What? Do you want to?

But no, it's too early.

- Well, give the baby milk!

- Tell me that my mother knows best.

She finished the courses of

modern methods of education.

"My mother had no idea about these

methods." - It can be seen.

Ask your mother better, at which

courses she studied good manners.

I'm all right with me.

Suppose I'm not superman,

but you know how the

girls ran after me!

And my wife is beautiful.

And what a dowry for her gave!

Tell me that your mother was

also given a dowry. - And what?

In six months we will

have our own apartment!

Here's how your courses help you!

You say that you do not

have a ticket, as if

you have absolutely

nothing to do with it!

I'm very sorry, but

that's the way it is.

Facts are a stubborn thing, and

they are beyond our emotions.

So why do not you have a ticket?

And why then did you get on the bus?

But, sorry, you asked two

completely different questions.

With which of them will we begin?

"Are you making a fool of me?"

"Slander, citizen!"

If I said something like that, I would

be like that scoundrel from Hamlet,

who claimed that the old men had neither

intelligence nor strength in their thighs.

Excuse me, I did not know

that he did not buy tickets.

He likes to make presentations.

Two before Slawanski Brod, please.

Dad? Why does this man

have such a hoarse voice?

"Maybe he has laryngitis."

What it is?

- Laryngitis?

- Sore throat.

Could be more respectful.

I'm your father's father.

You are lucky that you are not.

"I'm just going to talk to him

about something." - Next! ..

I apologize...

Can I ask...

"Have not we met before?"

I do not think so.

No?

- Carefully, do not stain the seats.

- Careful?!

Always do everything carefully!

Afraid of what people think.

But your sister is not like you.

She's not that sensitive.

"Oh please...

Please, sew me a dress..."

"Only this, only one..."

And I spent two weeks

at the sewing machine!

Do not you understand how

they treat us, while you...

Well, what is this?!

You always complain.

I so wanted to go to Zagreb,

take a walk in the park!

But I did not see

him in two weeks!

Why can not we go on

vacation like other people?

Somewhere to the sea.

Stay in the hotel.

To take care of me.

You always want something more.

It's good to have

someone to see you off.

"Was it your father?" "Father?"

No, it was not my father. "Uncle?"

No.

- A relative? - No.

- Then - the husband.

Not a father, not a
