Shall I pour you a whiskey?

-No, I'm driving.

How's the car?

Are you nuts?

It's a German car!

Dunlop tires...

Horsepower?

Lary! Come quickly,

my sister's dying!

We've woken the child.

Somebody get a glass of cold water!

Extend her legs!

Bastard...

And a towel!

You shut up, you bastard!

You mother hen!

After all you've done,

you're still clucking?

Animal...

Get out, Tony,

and let us do our job!

You get out, she's my wife!

-Get out!

Let me be! I'll keep quiet!

Please, everybody out!

I think I'm a bit better now.

Can you walk?

-Don't know.

Let's try.

Slowly.

Up we go!

Easy does it.

Are you all right?

Yes.

Better.

Gabi, thanks.

You'll be fine. Give it time.

Forgive me!

Please, forgive me.

Gabi!

Come here a minute!

You mother hen!

You're a bastard

and a run-of-the-mill mother hen.

You old pig.

You'd be so happy to find me

dead and cold!

You did exactly the same to Mother

at Dorica's wedding.

What wedding, Ofelia?

Mother who?

Dorica who?

Already got your voice back?

You bastard!

Nusa,

please, that's enough!

Mind your words,

I'm not the one who gave her booze.

Who's Milica, you bastard?

Come on, Ofelia, enough!

Say it, if you're so brave,

who's Milica?

Nusa...

You two sort it out!

Please, stay!

-It's better like this.

Nusa, please, come back!

Stay beside me.

Please!

I need you.

-All right, I'm coming!

I'm here.

Why are you looking at me

like that?

Who's Milica?

Have you forgotten?

Look in your phone if you've forgotten,

maybe you'll remember.

The one who wrote you that the dragon

and the monkey make the ideal couple.

I can't talk right now.

Let me put it another way,

maybe you'll remember.

Drink some water.

Who is Drghici Emilia?

Drghici Emilia, Tony.

Drghici Emilia.

Milica.

Milica, Tony,

stop pretending you don't know.

Milica from the springs, from Cciulata.

Then why do they call you

"The Mexican", Tony?

Who?

What do you mean who?

Your brother, Cornel.

And Mihalcea

and Bebe Firea,

and Vali, and Dan Ceacru,

and Milica,

and Reli,

and Luiza,

and Carmen, and Geta...

Geta who?

Uncle Mitic's Geta.

And that dumb wife of Filip.

And Ctlina.

Especially Ctlina!

What are you looking at?

I want...

Say something!

Yes.

What?

Where?

I'll be there in ten minutes.

Understood!

Understood.

I'll be there in ten minutes.

Bye.

Are you leaving?

How could I?

I'll be back shortly.

I'll be back and we'll eat.

Mom, I'll be back in five minutes.

Where are you going?

I'll be back. Stay with them,

so they don't kill each other.

You'll be back.

-Yes.

If you don't focus, I won't get you!

SC...

Vox...

Transexim.

Say it again.

...read the legislation

and show me

where it says I can't park here!

You think this is Neverland?

Get in the car, damn it!

You want a parking space, pay!

Why are you parking here

if it's not your space?

You whine the state cut your pensions...

Get in the car,

calm down, that's enough!

We understand, now stop.

Why do we have to make a big scene?

...you ignorant cow!

That's enough, granny!

Enough.

Call your mom a granny!

Don't talk to him like that, you cow!

Enough!

Please get in the car and calm down!

You filthy cow.

I apologise on my wife's behalf,

I apologise for calling you granny,

but let's calm down.

It's easy to say that

after waking the whole block!

Once again, I apologise!

Tell me, where were you?

-Buying cigarettes!

To get cigarettes?

-Yes!

Didn't you see when he blocked you?

I couldn't. They're renovating.

It says renovation.

I was here, at the bus stop.

Can't you get them at Carrefour?

-I forgot!

Why did you say

you saw him blocking you?

I said he was just leaving

when I got back.

Why didn't you ask him

to let you out?

He said he'd be right back.

Where did he go?

-I don't know!

...honking like a lunatic!

Hey, Einstein!

Where did he go?

Einstein!

I'm talking to you!

Are you deaf?

Why did you park there

if it's not your space?

Is it yours?

So what if it's not mine?

Answer the question.

What's with you,

can't you see he blocked me?

Who are you to ask, anyway?

Get off my back!

What a big mouth he has!

If you hadn't parked there,

he wouldn't have blocked you!

I used to live here too,

three blocks away.

And why the f*** should we care?

Keep out, you piece of sh*t!

You own the spot, or what?

What the f*** did you say, slut?

Screw you and your mother!

Say that again, you f***ing...

I'll blow your c*nt up!

Paws off, d*ckhead,

I'm not talking to you!

Let's calm down!

-Get out of the way.

Blow me, f***-face,

and get the f*** out of here!

Say it again, you f***ing skank.

-Skank's your mother!

You f***ing slut!

-Call the police.

Get the f*** away.

Go and rat on me to the police!

Calm down.

-Get the f*** out!

Take your junker and get lost!

Stop it, honey!

-You think you've got balls or what?

Come on, get lost!

Go to the police and cry a little!

Let's go home, please!

You f***ing c*nt!

Listen, you whore!

Learn to f***ing speak politely!

You stupid c*nt!

...let them leave already,

don't make things worse!

Listen, loser!

I'll be back in two hours.

Take your junk away,

otherwise, I'll wreck it, OK?

Then go on and call the police!

Son of a b*tch!

Unbelievable!

Already this morning, you were on edge.

Enough, shut your mouth!

...then I saw for the first time

that confused look on his face.

He looked just as confused

when I told him I got into university.

But he confused me the most

when he caught Relu smoking.

I don't know if I told you...

Relu the rebel?

No, you didn't.

He was in the fourth grade

and he was ten.

It was in May.

He skipped school and came home.

Whenever he'd skip class

he wouldn't goof off with his friends.

No, he'd just come home.

School was five minutes away

and if he didn't feel like

taking a class,

he'd come home.

Because...

Mom wouldn't let us watch TV,

most times he'd skip school,

he'd come home and watch TV.

But that day,

he came home and lit a cigarette.

He knew Mom was hiding cigarettes

behind the TV and in the lamp.

She was doing it for Dad,

she never smoked.

And he took a pack of Amiral

and started smoking.

When the time came to go to school,

as he was closing the door,

Dad showed up.

He thought he was working all day.

He had inventories,

that's why he'd been getting home

mostly after we were asleep.

And Dad asked:

"What are you doing home

at this time, mister?"

And Relu,

crying,

tried to explain

that he'd forgotten some notebook

and had come back

to get it.

And on his way out, a thief appeared.

That's exactly what he said!

A thief appeared...

who pushed him back inside

and forced him to smoke.

I can't believe it!

-It's true.

Unbelievable.

That's not what's unbelievable.

What's really unbelievable

is that Dad believed him

and took him to the police station.

The militia...

He took him to the station,

and he made a scene

about them not doing their jobs,

the kid this, the thief that.
