Oh, God!

Sweet Mother of God, help me!

Come here!

I'll teach you!

Cigarettes, Bay Linko!

- How many?

Daddy! Daddy!

It's twins, Dad!

Congratulations, Purko!

- Congratulations!

You have to buy a round.

- Keep your mouth shut!

May they grow healthy and strong.

And let God watch over them!

Bay Linko!

- Yes.

Give everybody what the want.

And a box of lemonade for the kids.

Am I paying you to sit here?

Don't be like that!

I'll do your field tomorrow.

Purko has just had twins.

Come have a drink.

You might just haVe a child, too.

Gee! Come on!

It's coming! It's coming.

It's on its way.

Come here! Start the march!

Purko's missing!

- Where is he?

Where is Purko?

Faster! Where have you been?

Start playing!

Welcome!

Please, this way!

Dear co-villagers!

Today our guest is Mr. Tokmakov.

- Totmakov.

Sorry, Totmakov.

He is our member of parliament,

who will now unveil a monument

and giVe a speech.

Please!

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

this monument

has been erected by our party

as a symbol of the dear victims

that your small but heroic village

has suffered

for the sake of Bulgaria.

I have too risen

from the ranks of the people

and I have been reared

with your suffering.

That is why I solemnly declare

that our party

will undertake drastic measures

so that we can finally oVercome

the desperate situation you are in.

Because you are the ones that work

and the ones that pay taxes

in order to sustain us -

the rulers, the government, the army,

and even the king himself.

This means you are the masters

and we are your servants.

The people needs servants,

not masters.

The taxman's coming.

Asparuh Kanchov!

- Yes, sir!

Have you received tax notices?

Why haven't you paid?

A writ of execution has been issued

against you for delinquent taxes.

And another one

on behalf of Kuno Benov.

You borrowed money from him

and did not pay back.

I'm taking your cow.

Bring it out!

Go away. Don't come close.

Purko!

- Get off!

Purko!

Please, Purko!

Empty the house then.

You haVe a wife and kids, too.

Put it off.

Don't do it, please!

GiVe us some more time.

But if you don't pay by St. Demetrius

I'll take everything you haVe.

I'll strip you naked.

Bay Linko!

- What is it?

Nothing, nothing.

Have you brought an egg?

- No.

Do you want a drink?

- No, not now.

Bay Linko, I was just...

It's nothing much...

I'd like to start some kind of trade

if you would become my partner.

Who?

- You.

What kind of trade?

- Well...

The profit will be handsome

but I need you.

How much?

About 500 or 600 leva.

You have yourself a deal.

But you have to pay me back

your old debts.

Are you praying for your debts,

Purko?

Pray, child. Prayers help.

I need it badly, that's why.

What else an I do?

You don't need it.

I'll give it back

when I get back on my feet.

What are you doing here?

Where did you get

the money for the eggs?

Damn pestilence!

- Button up a bit.

Do you know how much

the price of eggs will rise?

The citizens

haVe gone crazy drinking yolks.

The paper said that in America

everybody's eating eggs.

Easy! Whose turn is it?

- 30 eggs.

Don't break the eggs!

How many do you want?

Wait, please! How many do you want?

Keep your calm.

There is enough for everybody.

Here you are, sir!

Take it easy. Sir, please!

- I just want 10 eggs.

Keep your calm. 100 eggs?!

Damn pestilence!

What? No!

Get out! Get out this minute!

Don't do that!

Don't you dare!

You're not coming out, are you?

You can't catch me.

- Come here!

Come down you!

I'll burry you right here.

You devil!

May the beasts feast on you!

Stop playing, madman!

And come down this minute!

Come on! Go!

Stop!

Stop!

Nice to meet you!

Kerkenezov - certified engineer.

I am Purko.

- That's a hard job in this heat.

Take that harness off!

What are you doing?

Take off the harness.

You are scaring the donkey.

In America everybody works like this,

with the help of motors.

Wait a minute. That's it!

Sit down!

Come on, sit!

No damage done.

Semiautomatic ragcutter.

I'Ve patented it even in America.

I hardly manage producing them -

One, two, three, a rag.

Once more, more rags.

I produce traditional rag-carpets.

They sell like crazy in America.

A joint-stock company!

Can I...

- No, not this one.

I keep this one for demonstrations.

Observe carefully!

Here is the rag.

Watch now! One and two.

The machine costs 500 leva

And pays off within a month.

I buy up one ball of rags at 10 leva.

And 1000 balls -

that's a lot of money.

Rags you say?

- Rags.

Daddy!

Here, daddy!

- 20 leva.

Here, Dad!

Daddy!

- That's my boy!

What's going on?

- There's no more, Dad.

What do you mean?

Look everywhere.

Everywhere!

You two don't.

There's nothing more.

Hey, Purko!

Come on! Gee!

What is it, Kuno?

Pay me back by tomorrow night or

I'll haVe your field and wheat sold.

Come on! Gee!

Faster!

Black Saanen dairy goat.

Always has twins.

The miracle of nature!

from Stranja Mountain.

Saanen goat. Always has twins.

The miracle...

- Black Saanen...

Give me that for a moment, pal!

Can you... play?

Just give me that.

You play very well!

You should here me

play the vlak-forn.

I play from music.

Well, I play by ear.

How much for the goat?

- 800 leva.

How much for the pig?

- 1000 leva.

But this breed

gets as big as an elephant.

Let it get that big first.

We're both musicians, right?

I'll give you a discount.

It's nice to have appetite

but yours is outstanding!

At this rate

you'll get as big as an elephant

not by Christmas

but by St. Demetrius in November.

What kind of a wonderful breed

do you belong to?

Come out of there!

What is this pig?

- It's not a pig.

This is the small elephant
