Hunting Elephants Page #7

They tried to convince me

to have an abortion,

to kill you. You see?

That's what

your grandfather wanted.

You don't know

what's best for me.

I'm not doing this for you,

I'm doing it for me.

I need to be loved.

Everyone has their weaknesses

and I'm in love with Dedi.

That's Dad's picture.

Where will you put it

when you move in with Dedi?

Do you want him to see you

with another man? - Stop it!

So what if

you're smarter than me?

So what if you have

a smart-ass answer to everything?

You think it's easy for me?

That I don't feel terrible about it?

But how long do I have to wait?

I loved your father,

but a 40-year-old woman can't

move to an old-age home and die.

Nick,

remember, "only death can

release us from the ranks."

Yalla, Yalla!

Let's go and hunt those elephants!

Mr. Gurevitch,

please come with me.

Don't forget to break

the security camera.

Are you crazy?

Break the camera? Never.

Simona!

I'm ready for my close-up.

It's such an honor

to have you here, Lord Simpson.

Your money's here,

two million Euros, in the safe.

You can call me Alfred.

It's a kind of nickname.

Jonathan...

Dedi.

Good afternoon. - Hello!

Good afternoon, Mr. Simpson.

Lord Simpson.

- Oh, sorry. Please have a seat.

Okay then, you want

your two million Euros. - Yes.

Small denominations, used.

Unmarked.

Do you have a guarantee?

- I'm a walking guarantee.

Such a great humor.

It's a stick-up!

It's a stick-up!

Good, Nick, good...

Who set off the alarm?

Disable it now.

Tell the police to forget it.

I'm sorry, you have to leave.

I was just kidding, I...

I'm here to deposit money.

Then sit here and don't

make trouble, okay? - Okay.

Good.

Hold these.

Put them on me.

Good.

Do you need the restroom?

No, I'm using a mobile.

Nick, you can't stand here.

Go sit down.

I want to stand there.

What'll you do to me?

That door must stay open,

it's the security room.

Nick, do as I say

or you're out.

What's the big deal?

Do I look 5 years old to you?

Nick, with all due respect,

go sit over there, you hear me?

And what if I don't?

What'll you do to me?

What'll you do to me?

What'll you do to me?

Nick.

Nick, what are you doing?

- Is he crazy?

Now I want to stand here.

What'll you do?

He's supposed to be a hostage.

What'll you do now?

I want to stand here.

What'll you do?

Nick...

Don't move.

Put down the gun,

Nick, you hear me?

Put down the gun.

Sh*t...

Things are out of control.

I took the security guard's gun.

Damn it...

This is a stick-up!

This is a stick-up!

Get down, you,

this is a stick-up!

Nick, Nick, are you robbing me?

You're our client.

Are you surprised?

You should've read

the fine print.

And what happens to people

who can't read the fine print?

Don't move.

Nobody move!

Everyone calm down.

Lie down on the floor.

The floor's clean.

It's just been washed,

we're insured, don't worry

about the stick-up.

Everybody!

I have a monologue!

Oh, evil, I listen carefully...

What's he doing, Grandpa?

He wanted a monologue.

Like an idiot, I listened to you.

...in times of war

parts played may alter,

the kidnapper sometimes

becomes the prisoner!

Son of a b*tch,

what is he doing?

Grandpa, I think

he's trying to say something.

Simona!

- I'm coming!

Nick will kidnap us...

we'll stick to the plan,

it'll work.

Stop crying!

- I can't.

Stop crying, look presentable.

Everyone, look presentable,

this is a bank.

Don't hurt us!

Lie down, old man,

on the floor.

Jonathan,

what are you doing here?

Lie down.

Kid, come to the safe with me.

You, Hamlet, too.

Don't move, don't move!

The security guard's gun is loaded.

Don't hurt the boy.

Don't hurt him,

he has a wonderful mother.

The safe.

Don't move. - Lie down, old man.

- Don't move.

I don't know

what came over me.

Suddenly, I was holding a gun.

Continue as planned.

Tell us to open the safe.

Open the safe, kid.

Thank you.

Move it!

You too!

It was...

What's wrong with this?

- It's mechanical, just turn it.

Let me help you.

- Yes.

Hold it, please.

Nick, we have to hurry.

The cops will be here soon.

Don't do anything!

This is a hostage situation!

He has a bomb!

Allah Akbar!

Allah Akbar!

No!

What did I do?

You don't know who I am!

You don't know...

- Stop it!

Idiot!

Jonathan...

It's all right, Jonathan,

it's all right.

Vlada, enough.

Lord Simpson, I'm so sorry.

It's all under control now.

That's perfectly all right.

Excuse me. Excuse me!

I believe this is yours.

Simona... I have been

so worried about you.

Are you all right? - It was horrible.

- Yes, of course.

There, there, there...

I'm sure

everything will be well.

I have to be somewhere now.

Excuse me.

Oh, would you get my umbrella

and my hat?

Go home and keep quiet.

They'll keep Nick here

in the senile ward.

Nobody knows

you were involved.

You'll be fine

if you keep your mouth shut.

Grandpa,

my mom wants us

to move in with Dedi.

It's... far away.

I won't be able to see you

every day.

That's great.

Dedi has money.

You'll go to a school for the gifted

like you always wanted.

I don't really want to.

Why not? You cried like a baby

that you wanted to.

I want to be with you.

- What for?

What do you want with some old men

who have 5 minutes left to live?

I'd be glad

if you stopped coming.

Grandpa,

don't do this to me, not now.

I know you're not like this.

Don't tell me what I'm like.

What do you know? Spoiled brat...

You can't go to school

without getting beaten up.

You're pissed that we blew it.

That you're too old

to rob a bank,

that you're useless old fogies.

I'm too old?

We blew it because of

your stupid plan.

Listen, you loser,

you and your wimpy

English genes,

you're a loser

just like your dad.

I won't let you argue with me

like you did with Dad.

What did I do to him?

You left him at a movie

and went to see another woman.

He wasn't supposed to see that.

That dimwit was supposed

to watch the movie.

But he couldn't stand

being alone for 5 minutes.

I don't get it,

you love Grandma.

Nobody loves anyone so much

that they don't want to sleep

with another woman.

You wanted them

to have an abortion.

You didn't want me.

Your mother got pregnant

and had my son by the balls.

He should've done better,

he was a genius

but he threw it all away.

A security guard at a bank.

Who cares about your troubles?

Do I owe you anything?

Your mother's spreading her legs

for your sake.

Maybe she isn't as crazy

as we thought.

Go buy her some flowers.

Get out of my sight.

Nick.

Nick.

Jonathan, sonny-boy,

good to see you.

Was there anything

on the news?

Where's Grandpa?

Nick, where's Grandpa?

He went to rob the bank,

like in the good old days.

You walk in with a gun,

fire into the air and yell:

"A free country for a free people! "

- No!

No, they'll kill him,

they'll be waiting for him.

Eliyahu thought of everything,

he took out life insurance

30 years ago

and now he listed you as beneficiary
