H-8... Page #4

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...

A boy or a girl?

"Have not we met anywhere else?"

We know these tricks.

"Papa, what did this man want?"

Nothing.

He's one of those who makes money

on other people's misfortunes.

"Are not you ill, dear?"

Now it will pass.

Dad, but doctors also make money

on other people's misfortunes?

Yes, but they help people.

Their suffering makes them easier.

Sometimes they make mistakes.

And that's unforgivable.

But I still want to be a doctor.

A child's doctor, like you.

I'm sorry for the children

of these modern parents.

What are you trying to say?

And what do you dislike about us so much?

My husband already has

a diploma, and I...

And I will also receive a diploma.

And we already bought a motorcycle.

And in a few months we will have an

apartment... And we have a child.

And when we got married,

we had only seven dinars.

And our honeymoon -

it was something...

After the wedding, we returned each

to our hostess, each in his own room.

Well, how did you manage

to have a baby then?

Say:
"It happened when one of the

hostesses went on vacation!"

"I'll stop the bus." You need to get out.

No, do not.

We have the right.

We paid for the tickets, after all.

Is there a doctor on the bus?

I am a doctor. Stay here.

It's cold outside.

Allow. I am a doctor.

"What month are you on?"

"On the fifth."

Nothing wrong. In your

position, this is normal.

Even I know it.

You should not have worried.

Smart people say that

doctors always win.

They receive thanks for healing, and

mistakes are hidden in the ground.

Maybe you're right. The only pity is

that it is impossible to avoid mistakes.

I need to write to the educator.

"He said that if I wanted to,

I could go back. - Really?"

A little rascal.

"I will write to him that I will

not return." "Now go to sleep."

- Dad, can I take the tram to school?

- Yes.

Mom said that I never

jumped on the bandwagon.

Dad, do we go tomorrow

to my mother's cemetery?

And could you play that way?

"I would not want to play that way."

"But is it beautiful?"

- Maybe.

But I do not like this in music.

This is commerce.

Music for entertainment, one that

sells well. She's all the same.

Yes, simple and clear

things are boring to you.

You like only complex melodies,

only complex fugues of Bach.

No, fugues -

they are not at all complicated.

Fugue is a lot of melodies, and

they are all very beautiful,

And they are all part of the whole...

You understand?

How can I explain this?

The melodies in the fugue are...

It's like passengers on this bus!

Everyone has it -

its own destiny, its past,

their hopes, their secrets.

Do you understand?

But we are all moving

towards the same goal.

"It's probably boring to you."

"When you say it, it does not."

When I publish my notes -

it will cause a sensation!

Title:
"The Great Game".

How's that for you? - Good.

And the subtitle: "Evidence of the

destruction of our language."

It was collected and published

by Professor Nikolai Tomasic.

Yes. But I would like

to talk with a soldier.

Please do not.

What are you looking

at me like that?

When I last traveled by bus,

there was no light in the cabin.

And I like to read on the road.

But today you would

like to sleep.

Yes.

Alma... What a beautiful name.

I read it here...

Well, stop playing! We must go.

And we just started.

But I do not mind if you ate.

"And I can make you a company."

We know these...

"The big ones must turn away.

Good."

(Honey, do not put your

feet like that...)

(-But in another way it's uncomfortable

to sit here. - You are to blame.)

(It would have been much more convenient

in our car, if you had not broken it.)

(You're always displeased.

As if I really am guilty!)

(Of course, you've always

been a good driver...)

"What a woman!"

- Sorry?

What a filly!

I wish I could be like this in my stables!

(Smile please.

Let him see that we are happy.)

(And what would happen to me if

I obeyed you in all things?)

Turn around!

Do not turn your neck.

Late!

I think I've already turned it off.

An agenda from the military registration

and enlistment office? Birthday card"?

Notification of promotions?

- Let's! Open it!

- No, it's not the time yet!

(Thank you dear!)

Look how she's dressed! Why do not

you want to buy anything on credit?

Stop! I do not want the

whole bus to hear!

"But we can not postpone anything

from your salary!" - No credits!

Novska station!

Parking is fifteen minutes!

I apologize!

Well? Who orders the booze?

It seems to me, she all the

same starts to give in.

She told me about her music

teacher:
She broke up with him.

- Yes, they are all the same.

- You think so?

"She's not like that." I really

try very hard. - Try more.

"Show your strength!" Nadavi!

And get a slap in the face!

Come on! I was slapped only once.

Because I did not kiss her.

With one conversation you will not achieve

anything. She had heard all this.

- You should be interested in her...

- How to interest?

It's a great thing.

"I'm sorry, but she's mine."

- Thank you!

- You are welcome.

- Who ordered?

- Come on!

"Do you drink a lot?"

- Yes.

With our work it becomes a habit.

"And you like it?"

"Do not you want a drink?"

I do not like this.

And I definitely like it.

"And I prefer fresh air."

Hey, wait! .. Account!

Your change!

"Leave it to yourself!"

"Hey, where are you going?"

I have to go. I'm attacking.

Come on! Order it!

"We're not in a hurry."

- Undiluted or add water?

- White wine. - Juice.

Juice for the Pongrats driver!

Okay. I'm glad they

let you drive again.

I suffered losses

until you went.

Waiter! "Ah... it's there!"

"You will not earn much on your

passengers." - Do you prefer foreigners?

To hell with the aliens!

Those are still juggling.

- Our people are more pleasant.

- (Waiter, please!)

"Yes, what do you think?" (- You have...)

"Two coffee." (- Yes.)

- Anything else?

- No.

Excuse me, did you

make the order yourself?

Of course!

"So you understood everything, What

did I say on the bus? Oh sure."

And he? "He's Swiss."

In our opinion he does

not understand a word.

Thank God!

It's not allowed to smoke here!

Read it!

Are you cold? Take a walk?

It turned out that it is not difficult, -

and I again freely chat.

But I did not speak Croatian for ten years.

I thought that I forgot everything.

You would have seen me on the border...

I was so freaked out! "I'm afraid

of customs officers and I'm afraid."

No! I was afraid that I

forgot the language!

What do you want?

"Brandy for my wife."

And mineral water for me.

Wait... A little white wine!

I was hoping that I would be entrusted

with a more interesting flight.

But I'm glad I got this one.

What are you, buddy?

"Slivovitz?"

- No.

Give it to me! Martini!

"Martini?"

Yes. Big or small? Big!

Do you know how much it costs?

Three Martini!

- For you, for our driver and for me!

- For me, why?

"Excuse me, are you a soldier or a

general?" - For today I'm corporal.
