H-8... Page #5

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...

But my son, he may

become a general!

"No, it's dark here."

So what? I am afraid of darkness.

As a child, I was even afraid

to go into a dark room.

This means you have a rich imagination.

It's good.

Do you want to say that brave people have

no imagination? But what about... Byron?

And was not Dante and

Zola brave people?

"Enough smart conversations." We will talk

better about us. - Let's better go back.

- Let me go!

- Why do you oppose your desires?

Make a wish -

the star is falling!

And maybe it's a companion.

"Why did you mess it up!"

Why are you pretending to be evil?

I know that you are not like that.

"You have feelings, attachments..."

And poison.

Enough to poison a pack of rats.

- Well, speeches... As if you're on stage.

- Are you cold? - No.

I'd rather put on a coat.

Excuse my husband, doctor.

He likes to seem strange.

You must understand it.

I already forgot about it.

The main thing is that you are all right.

It was a momentary weakness.

"But you should not go by bus."

Probably, the doctor has

not enough of his salary?

He would like to earn some money?

- Crazy!

Everything is normal.

We will not bother you!

I take patients

only in the clinic.

It's very kind of you.

That's just the level is not the same.

A person should never

drop his dignity.

Polonius would say:

"Honored Master..."

"I will humbly

accept our parting."

And Hamlet would answer:

"Sir, you can not deprive me of that..."

with which I myself would not have

parted willingly - except my life."

"Except my life..."

"Except my life..."

Dad, this is an actor who has lost his

voice! About him wrote in the newspaper!

Yes I remember. He was

given the wrong treatment.

"Papa, why is he so strange?"

He himself was confused in everything.

Everyone pities him and comforts him.

He thought he would

become a great actor.

And his throat hurt.

But the doctor did not

help him, but only

made it worse. And then

he became embittered.

Why? "Because he does

not want to be pitied."

Why do you hate him?

Perhaps he's a good doctor.

They are all the same.

- No, I do not recognize this!

- Wait!

I wanted to come, but

he would not let me go.

He's terribly jealous.

He does not even let

me leave the house.

"Is not it awful?"

It's horrible!

These are vestiges of

feudalism and slavery!

The wheel of history will crush you!

(- What?)

(He compliments you.)

"From whom?"

"That man gave it to you."

This is my friend.

A fellow journalist.

A good guy, only very awkward. And at the

same time - an excellent journalist.

Excuse me, citizen... comrade.

- Are you really a journalist?

- Yes.

Let me introduce myself:

Professor Tomasic.

I so wanted to meet someone

from the newspaper.

I appreciate what you are doing.

"But I'm concerned about the

purity of the language." - Yes?

For example, today in

the newspaper wrote...

Listen, you can complain to the

proof-reader or the editor.

Or write to the "Leaf

of Pensioners."

- Excuse me?

- In the "Leaf of Pensioners." Clear?

Yes. I understood.

Excuse me...

I did not mean to offend you.

Hey, is this yours?

And mineral water?

No, thanks.

And I say to all my friends:

Do not marry a beautiful woman!

It is a paradise for the

eyes, hell for the soul

and a vacuum cleaner for your wallet!

But it does not threaten me.

I do not succumb. (- Great!)

(- What did he say?)

- What?

A glass of wine.

Passengers following on Belgrade!

The bus departs in two minutes!

"Where's the phone here?"

Over there. There? - Yes.

No... I'm crying!

"Only four hundred and eighty-five..."

Hold on! For the bottle was paid.

The bus leaves!

- Excuse me. Can?

- Can...

Just remember:

More than three minutes - double payment.

Do not worry, I will

have two minutes.

Kuketsa, please.

Kukets! The old man!

This is Ivica. Yes, Franjo... Ivica.

I'm passing through here. Yes.

A lot of work.

You think it's not worth it?

No, you're wrong, old man.

It's worth it!

Order? Go!

What are you waiting for! Touch it!

Why do not they believe me?

"Who told you that?"

"I know myself."

Why they put me on

a flight with you!

- After twenty years at the wheel...

- This does not mean lack of respect.

You've had a break six months.

Touch Tikhomir - for luck.

Do you think he helps the drunkards?

Yes! And even to those

who take pills!

This man had to die

one of the first.

He had a place 2.

Now this place is free.

Places 3 and 4 are also not occupied yet.

Strange creature woman!

A woman does not understand

what faith means to a man.

And he is ready to change his convictions

a hundred times, only to please her.

(This is a poem?

Can you translate it for me?)

- Translate?

- Do not!

Translations - they are like women:

If they are true - they are ugly,

but if they are beautiful...

they are wrong.

And you - evil! (What did he say?)

Oh, God!

(Oh, this is your jealousy!

I can not chat?)

(You are always there.

Well, of course!)

(And how in Croatian will be "next"?)

(- How? ..)

- Prisutan.

( Dear sir, I'm always prisutan.)

What?

- What have you done?

- Nothing.

I told her to wipe her nose,

and blood blew again.

Well, what is this?

And everyone is looking at us.

"Keep your head up, dear."

OK, Mom.

Well, that's the rain.

Watch out. The road must be slippery.

I'll go check to see if there

are any new passengers.

I need constant work.

"Is the watch badly sold?"

It brings a little money.

You need to find a

buyer, persuade him...

"Sell some other watch."

- What?

Do you really think that the clock, which I

propose to them - and really waterproof!

So you have not changed.

But soon I will be a dispatcher.

Transportation of building materials!

Yes, but, even grabbing cement with

handfuls, you will not earn much.

Well, it's not about the handful...

but about wagons...

Listen, do not you

want to work for us?

So who are you:
The dispatcher

or the personnel manager?

Bleeding will stop. It

always stops eventually.

Come with me.

You'd better sit in front.

- Can I go?

- Yes, go, do not be afraid.

"Go, go, dear."

- Watch out!

In construction it is always like that.

If you have an engineer at your

construction site, a foreman,

the dispatcher and the driver are your

people, you can not be afraid of anything.

And you can put less

cement in the concrete,

and in blocks - less iron.

- That's all.

- It's not interesting for me.

You will receive

twenty-five percent.

Where else can you

find such money!

"And most importantly,

they will not be able to

catch you!" "They'll catch...

they catch everyone!"

Only if someone nastuchit.

Care is needed here.

The accountant will not have a key.

And the saved cement

can be sold anywhere.

Houses are built everywhere.

Pie in the sky! Where do you find

such an engineer and foreman?

Ha! I already have them!

We have only to find the driver.

Well, what can you say?

- What's your name?

- Spring.

"What's your name?"
