The pig ate the soap!

- It ate the soap!

Come on! Where are you?

Who told Mito to toll the bell

when by law only I haVe that right?

No one.

- The thing squalled like thunder.

We'll see.

I'll look into it!

This can't be!

- It's impossible.

Could the food

be flowing out the rear?

Take it out for inspection.

- Go in if you dare.

Go on!

I say we discontinue

the inspection of the incident.

This animal may look like a pig

but it is a suspicious character

of a type unknown around here.

It is a pig.

But it grows as big as an elephant.

Then feed it.

Don't let it scare the Village again.

I do feed it, Mayor. I promise.

Purko!

Purko!

What is it? What happened?

The egg came first.

And who laid it?

- The hen.

So?

- But where does the hen come from?

From an egg.

- So?

But who laid that egg?

- A hen? But where does it come from?

From an egg. But who laid it?

The hen.

- So?

But where does it come from?

- From an egg.

But who laid it?

- The hen.

But where does it come from?

- From an egg. But who laid that?

But where does the hen come from.

From an egg. But who laid that?

- The hen.

But where does the hen come from.

- From another hen.

Purko, you are an expert on eggs.

Which came first into the world -

the egg or the hen?

First came hen.

But where did it come from?

- Well...

A hen might just fly in

from anywhere.

An egg cannot.

Let's drink to that!

- Cheers!

Where are you going?

Who's paying?

Damned be that pig!

Disaster! The new member

of parliament is coming tomorrow.

If you don't repair the foot

I will throw you out of the village.

It's coming! It's coming!

The carriage is coming.

It is coming.

Move aside!

Move aside!

Start playing.

Start already! Come on!

Purko's missing.

- Where is he? Where?

Play the march!

Welcome, Mr. Totmakov!

Mrs. Totmakova!

It's Tokmakov.

- I'm sorry, Mr. Tokmakov. This way!

This way, please!

Dear co-villagers!

Today our guest is Mr. Totmakov.

Tokmakov!

- Mr. Tokmakov.

Our new member of parliament will

unveil a monument and give a speech.

Please!

Congratulations!

Ladies and gentlemen,

our party erected this monument

as a symbol of the dear victims

that your small but heroic village

has suffered for the sake Bulgaria.

I have too risen

from the ranks of the people

and reared with your suffering

so I most solemnly declare

that our party

will undertake drastic measures

so that we can overcome

the desperate situation you are in

and finally end your suffering.

Because you are the ones

that work and pay taxes

in order to support us -

the rulers...

The government...

The army, and even the king himself.

The people needs serVant,

not masters.

Purko.

The taxman is coming.

Don't do this!

Go away! Go hide somewhere!

Where is your husband?

- He's not here.

Where is he?

- Somewhere in the fields.

I'm sorry. Pardon me!

You are free to go.

Wait for me in the municipality.

I won't let him fool me any more.

- He cannot fool you.

You are an educated man

and my Purko is a plain person.

Does he believe he can avoid me?

- Yes, sir. He is very trusting.

He is stupid.

- Yes, he is.

If he were clever, he would be rich.

But he managed to lure

a beautiful woman.

Only to suffer with him.

Are the children here?

- No. Way?

I came for the cow,

but now I wonder if I should.

Don't, Mr. Taxman.

Wait a little more.

Don't, Mr. Taxman!

- Let go.

Wait! I said wait!

- Let me go.

Let go, I said.

- Don't, Mr. Taxman!

Please, don't! Wait a little.

- Come here.

Mr. Taxman!

Have you no shame?

Easy! You'll brake my glasses.

You are so pretty!

Just a little bit.

Only for a moment.

Mommy! Mommy!

- Can't you see I'm pregnant?

Then I'm taking the cow.

Was that an earthquake?

The most severe one was in America,

in San Francisco.

Hit it! Come on!

Get it!

- Go round the other side.

Go! Faster!

- Faster!

Get it! Hey!

Go get some back up!

I'll cut it's head off!

I got it!

I'm coming! Here I am!

Stand aside!

Here, here, here!

This cow will be sold on auction.

What are you doing?

You'll get in trouble, boy.

Listen, boy!

Boy, you...

Attack him from the rear!

Not this rock!

From the other side. From the rear.

Surround him!

Charge! AdVance!

Disarm him!

Show him your courage!

Forward! Go forward!

Go back!

Attack from the flanks.

Finish him off!

Where are you from?

From these parts.

- I see.

Come here a moment.

Come on! Don't be afraid.

Come, have a seat.

The lady is American.

- Oh, yes!

What does she do here?

- She is a shareholder.

In a company

for emigration in America.

It helps people

if the want to go there.

What do you mean

if they want to go?

They pay and they leave.

- Oh, yeah!

Do you have land?

- Well... Yes!

And what about cattle?

Well then...

I wonder... How much will it cost?

Let's say 2000 leva.

And what if a person is,

let's say, married to woman.

And has 6 or 7 children?

For the wife - 2000 leva more.

The children may travel for free.

Isn't that so, Mary?

- Oh, yes!

Do you remember

the name of the cafe?

Royal Cafe.

What is this?

Have some patience.

If we are in luck

this one will be born in America.

Sign this.

- Here?

Remember, if you don't pay the money

back to the bank in time

you'll lose the field forever.

ROYAL CAFE:

Pardon me!

Freeze! I recognized you. Crook!

Give me back my money!

- He's confusing me with someone.

Hold him! He stole my money.

- What money?

Wait, I'll get you! Hold him!

My money.

My money!

Crook! Wait. Give me my money back!

HOTEL AMERICA:

We have girls of all nationalities.

But I want to see her.

Who?

- The American.

I saw her come in.

Could you call her?

Oh, the American girl.

You should have said so.

Just a moment!

Hey!

Hello!

Are you going to bed?

I brought the money for America.

Oh, yes!

Oops!

Cheers!

- Oh, yes!

I just...

Do you remember

It was just the other day.

You two told me about America.

Where is the gentleman

with the golden teeth?

We were talking about America.

Good morning!

What's going on?
