Fine.

I came as a couple today.

What's supposed to happen now?

Whatever you wish.

You've got tonifying, relaxingmassages and facial masks.

-Where is Sara?-She's over there.

That's the mud thatallegedly slims you down?

Its from the Dead Sea.

Do you want to try it?

It depends on how longId need to keep it on.

Fifteen, twenty minutes.You can stay even longer if you want.

Do you want to try it?

Fine.

Take the mud pot, please.

Have you thought of me?

How many treatments hasyour mother had this far?

She just finishedthe second round.

Now she needs the third.

Its very costly.

You know, the targeted therapy.

So now its the last one left?

Yes, but its not certainwhether it'll be effective.

It's been found?

Its difficult, but it's been promised.

Even if she gets it,it's not certain that it will work.

Sokrat has talked to me about you...

Do you know whats beingsaid about you and my father?

What's being said?

Sokrat is a good doctor...

...hell do his best.

I know.

What kind of relationshipdo you and Sokrat have?

A good one.

That's the impression that I have...

It's my impressionthat you are quite close.

What has Sokrat told you,in what sense?

What has he told you?

What do you think?

Im cold.

Fine, take a hot shower.

Since you want to know,Ill ask just one thing...

Please, lets not havethis conversation again.

I don't know howour relationship will evolve.

Your father hasbeen very good to me.

Hes helped mewith school.

He has said that hellhelp me this year as well.

Even though I have to work,since I haven't got anybody else.

Hes helped my mother.

Hes found,very expensive treatments.

He got the first two cures,which were very expensive.

Hes been there for me.

Hes been kind about everything.

Youre special, he tells me,this place is not for you.

Now we have anormal relationship.

On the other hand,he has hit on me, yes, its true.

I wont say how...

Hes come on to meand Ive ignored it...

...thinking that every man in hisplace would do the same.

Ive thought that he is lonely.

Perhaps, to justify him.

There have been momentswhen he has provoked me.

Sometimes, he has even threatened me.

Ive tried not to take ittoo seriously.

What has he offered you help for?

I have told him that I'm self-sufficient.That I do not need anyones help.

What has he told you?

This is the truth.

This story continues?

Which story?

Does it continue?

There are moments when it ends,there are moments when it begins again.

So, you came to me,to protect yourself from him?

I'm not trash.

The times that Id skip class,in primary school, Id come here.

I was sure that nobodywould find me.

Not even Sokrat.

I cant stand looking atanimals in cages.

Sherif!

What's new?

Nothing...

Im going for a coffee.

How about a roundabout?

No, I'm moving on...

Lets take a hike,the three of us.

Let's show Sara our carefully selected,pro-filmic immediate surroundings.

My mansion's over there.

Where?

Over there.

Branko!

Branko!

Branko!

-Yeah, what?-Im here to get the bicycle.

What?

My bicycle isat the pharmacy.

Alright.

-Who is it?-Gjergji, he wants the bike.

Come on, grab the keys!

I shouldn't be late for work.

Are you the son of Dr. Sokrat?

Your father told me that,he couldnt wait for you.

-Was he accompanied?-No, he was alone.

-Did he eat by himself here?-No, today he didnt eat at all.

Your lunch has been paid for.

Will you sit down?

We have differentkinds of seafood.

Lobster, bass, bream, mussels.

We have venison, lamb, pork...

...whatever you want.

Traditional cuisine,Italian, French, Turkish.

-Whats your house wine?-Australian Shiraz.

-Thank you.-Goodbye.

Something is bothering you.

No, there's nothing.

Sorry for asking...

You know, Sherif...

Saras mother ishospitalized in my fathers ward.

According to her...

...my father has asked herto sleep with him.

It's like a prerequisite.

However, I know my fatherenough to know that...

If he could savea persons life, he would.

From what Sokrat has told me...

...Saras mother won't survive.

She believes its in Sokrats hand!

It's probably wishful thinking...

...regardless the circumstances...

...it does not exclude that Sokrat has...

...harassed her.

I don't know what to believe.

Perhaps, thats not exactly true.

Maybe she hasmisunderstood him.

Who knows whatthe situation really is.

Sherif, that's hot air!

Things are not to be taken personally,however they turn out to be.

It takes time to knowwho people really are.

Trust takes a life time to gain.

You want things to beimmediately as you wish them to be.

You're wrong.

You gotta have <i>belief</i>...

...to know what the truth really is.

I don't know.

Truthfulness and sincerity arethe only remedies.

The truth and nothingbut the truth, right?

Or am I just out of my mind?

How would I know?

I come from the middle of nowhere,I am aware of that...

...perhaps I dont knowmuch about these things...

...but, when you meet real love...

...everything becomes clear!

Have you everreally loved Sherif?

I do not understand people at all.

Gjergji, will you come with us?

-Wheres your dad?-He left with mom.

When will he return?

I don't know.

Which way are we going?

Gjergji, come changein the girls room.

No.

-Come and take a shower!-No.

Hey guys...

Gjergji come here,I wont look at your wiener.

Gjergji, don't drink the water,it's chlorinated!

Good.

It's ice cold...

...cold as hell!

Let's go to the sauna.

This one's cold.

You knew that he was comingand you brought us here?

Please take me home.

We don't need this situation.

Why, what's the problem?

Did you put all the invoices andthe documents in the bag?

Yes, they are all in the book.

-Did you make an inventory?-No.

So there are no tablesand slates either...

Have you ever wateredthose lemons?

Sure, I water thelemons every day!

Fine, don't botherwatering them.

Go turn on the water.

What is going on here?

What are these prescriptions?

Dont you know thatnobody accepts them?

The partial or the totallyreimbursable ones?

The total ones!

How can you be so out of it?

It blows my mind!

Is that so?

Listen, I have wantedto say this for a while...

Do not bring expired medicationsin the pharmacy anymore!

What?

Expired medications?

I have brought expired medications?

Have you no shame?

If not expired, they are veryclose to their expiration date.

Dont bring me suchmedicines again!

What are you talking about?

Are you out of your mind?

I believe you are capableof auditing the dates.

Check the dates!

-This is nonsense.- No, its not nonsense at all!

Is that so?

Because you are spending all day,thinking about the zoo...

...the lion, the fox, the wolf.

Learn to work!You get it?

To work?

Do you call that work?

I just stand there as a dork.

Fine, why don't you quit?

If you cant do it, just quit.
