I Even Met Happy Gypsies Page #3

---

I'll kill you for this!

Give back my TV set!

Come on out, old man!

Where is Tisa?

I don't know.

I swear I don't!

I've got money. Tell me.

You're scared of Mirta.

Coward!

I've got nothing to be afraid of,

I just don't know.

You obviously don't

need the money.

Bora, listen! Wait!

How much money?

-First, tell me where Tisa is.

You Gypsy bastard!

Give me 3.000 and I'll tell you

where she is.

It's a deal. Let's go, then.

Where are you taking her?

Leave her alone!

May your eyes drop out

of your head!

Lord, I bring Thee Your humble

servants, Bora and...

What's your name? -Tisa.

-That's the name of a river.

You're lucky they didn't call

you Danube. -Get on with it!

In the name of the Father....

Any fish in the river?

-Shut up!

Bless this union of man

and woman...

Where did you find this

sweet thing? -Just keep singing!

...etcetera, etcetera.

Grant them peace and grace...

In the name of the Father,

Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Bora, you're finally married.

You lucky girl!

You should've done this earlier.

Now, give me those crowns.

I may use them again.

One never knows.

That's that. Now we can

have a drink to celebrate.

Have you decided where

you'll sleep? -In the village.

But it's the middle of the night!

-We'll manage.

We're used to it.

-I won't permit that. Come.

You will spend your first

night in the house of God.

This is your first night and

God has blessed your marriage.

You should sleep in

Brother Hrizosova's bed.

It's big and far away,

so that I won't have

sinful thoughts.

I'll bring you an eiderdown,

with angel feathers. My own.

I didn't sell everything

to you Gypsies.

Light as the soul.

Wait for me here.

I won't be long.

Remember me,

I tried to buy your feathers.

Be seated,

the soup's getting cold.

I came to make a deal.

It's better that I take them,

and not the plague.

Here, read.

It says:
"The geese will die of

the plague. It is spreading."

We told you the price.

If you have the money,

take the geese.

You won't find such

beautiful geese.

How much?

Like I said, 100.000. -They all

have feathers like an angel.

Until they get the plague.

get something. -What now?

Nothing under 90.

-lf he won't? -He'll accept.

That's the price.

-All I have is 90.

All right, it's a deal.

Get the flock together

and we'll pluck them.

There you are, my son.

-From now on,

Tisa will be staying with us.

Ruza will also be staying.

She doesn't bother me.

I just made a deal with your son.

Sell the feathers to me, not Bora.

I can pay you in advance.

I've brought you money.

I can't sing.

What have I done this time?

What the hell!

Bora, what have you done?

-I've no idea. Article 132 and 76.

That's disturbing the peace.

-And a traffic offence.

That costs 5.000. Disturbing the

peace and a traffic violation.

They'll put poor Sava

in jail for 20 days.

They'll only fine him 15.000.

-20 days, for sure.

Minimum penalty for

assault and battery.

Put up or shut up!

He won't get a jail sentence.

-5.000. -I accept.

I'll bet you 5.000 he gets

the jail sentence. -All right.

Bora, you're not interested?

I've got a job you might like.

You can make a bundle selling

horses, for a cut, at the fair.

When are you going?

-ln a day or two.

Bora Pavlovic!

Are you interested?

-Sure.

December 7, you threw feathers

from a truck. Intentionally?

Not really, I was drunk.

Why do I have to keep

fighting with you Gypsies?

Which will it be?

I'll pay. -All right,

you can pay the fine.

Bora, we know each other.

-We do, Judge.

How could you,

a feather buyer, throw them?

What can I say?

I was drunk.

I'm a Gypsy.

I threw them and they floated,

as if they had wings.

Tisa, when I picked

you up by the road,

were you coming

from Belgrade? -No.

Have you ever seen the city?

-No, I haven't.

I've been there.

Belgrade is a great city!

Shut up, you old bat!

-You good-for-nothing drunkard!

Don't start again!

Get out and don't come back!

Find yourself another man!

You hag, parasite!

Have you really been to Belgrade?

-I was born and raised there.

It's great! Go, while Bora's

away. I'll give you the money.

Go to my family.

They're street cleaners.

I have where to go.

Lence's son, he'll let me stay.

Want to be a singer? I'll give

you all I have, for the train.

What are you staring at?

Come here!

Lence loves me very much

and sends me everything I want.

But I like Sombor more

and I'd go back right now.

How long have you been

in Belgrade? -Two years.

When I learn to use my

wooden legs, I'll go home.

Lence said that I could stay here

for a while. -What does she know.

Singing in the streets,

you can just get by.

You should have stayed with her,

if you want to be a singer.

Or you could be a street cleaner.

It's bad, but it could be worse.

Hey, look!

Just what we need, to keep

us awake. -Pick her up.

Here I am, peek-a-boo!

He said that you're

a pretty girl.

Give him a kiss, and he'll sing

you a song. He's so bashful.

No kiss?

Where are you from?

I'm a Gypsy from Sombor.

Gypsies are all right!

Leave me alone!

B*tch! You lousy Gypsy!

Have you gone crazy?

Leave the girl alone!

What girl, she's an animal!

I know these Gypsies!

He's crazy!

What's wrong with him?

Nothing but mud!

What monotonous, flat country!

-Yeh, what a place.

What are you doing here,

little girl?

Tell me where she is.

Tell me, or else!

Give me back my T.V. set,

and I'll tell you.

Where did she go?

-First, return my T.V.

Hello, are you urika?

-That's me.

Tisa sends this,

so you can go to the movies.

Did she go back to you?

-Where else would she be?

She said she was

going to Lenca's.

She probably did. Good bye.

Where is she?

-What do you mean?

Better talk, if you want to live!

-Go to hell! You won't find her!

Talk now, or you never will!

She's with them other bastards.

You won't get her. -Where is she?

Go to Mirta!

I hope he kills you!

You admit that there were four

stolen horses among them?

Where did you sell them?

-At the fair, in Dobanovci.

That's where Mirta

attacked you with a knife,

then you killed him in the shed.

-I swear, I'm innocent!

Who else would have done it?

-I swear to God, I'm innocent!

We have witnesses. Better confess,

then you'll get a lighter sentence.

I'm innocent, I swear on my

children! I'll do anything!

Take him to solitary,

to refresh his memory.

Bora, the feather dealer, killed

Mirta. The whole town knows that.

Where's Bora, the feather dealer?

-I don't know.

Come here. Have you seen

Bora Petrovic? -No.

I haven't seen him.

I don't know.

He's disappeared.

Bora hasn't been around.

Damn police, leave us alone!

I haven't seen him.

He's been gone

for a long time.

Step outside.

Have you seen Bora Petrovic?

-Never heard of him.

Haven't seen him

for a long time.

He used to buy feathers.

How should I know.

I don't want to see him.

Bora has just disappeared.
