Tony called.

He asked after you and Sebi.

What did he say?

Is he coming?

Aunt Ofelia,

this was our conversation:

Me:
Yes?

Him:
Nusa, is that you?

Me:
No, it's Sandra.

Is that Tony?

Him:
Yes, is my Ofelia there?

Me:
Yes!

-Alexandra!

Him:
And Sebi?

Me:
Yes, Sebi's here.

Him:
And Cami?

Me:
No, she's not here.

Him:
...

Alright.

And he hung up.

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

What's your problem, Mom?

It's OK, Nusa,

I'm not offended.

Was he drunk?

-I don't think so.

What's this?

"Electric Mini Exercise Bike"?

That's it.

For me?

For me!

Are you haughty now that you're

the mother of a doctor's child?

Should I bow to you?

No, but I am your big brother.

You could say:

"What's up, big brother,

"dear caretaker of my childhood?"

Aren't you going to give him a kiss?

Hug him?

There!

Look how muscly you are!

Are you working out?

-Yes, every day.

Who's babysitting?

Mom.

-Me.

Why didn't you bring the girls?

-To be a jerk!

Watch your mouth!

Has he called? No.

-What?

The priest, Mom!

No, he hasn't.

The starters are on the table.

We can't keep people waiting.

Yes, why don't we go and eat?

The priest hasn't arrived yet.

We're waiting for him.

Why hasn't he arrived?

It's Saint Ilie today.

There's a big service at church.

Saint Ilie is in summer!

What did I say?

Ilie?

Haralambie!

Saint Haralambie is next week.

You know nothing!

It was on the radio.

Father Marchis said on the radio.

I'll close it.

Thanks.

The priest said he'll come around 12,

but he couldn't say for sure.

He doesn't know

what the traffic will be like.

I've my phone here.

He'll call when he's on his way.

What about Relu?

He's coming too,

as soon as he's free.

Nusa, where's the oil?

-In the back.

Where in the back?

Move that crate of potatoes.

Wait. I'll come and get it.

-It's not here.

Ouch, my leg!

It's there, see?

Your daughter's on the phone.

It's your daughter!

She called me

because your phone is off.

Yes sugar?

You could've just put it on mute.

Hi, Nusa!

Sure.

No, baby, we'll pick you up

when we leave.

All right.

Sweetie...

Bye.

Bravo!

-You scared me!

The priest isn't here,

and you're eating?

I was checking it out,

it smells good.

Give me my phone.

That's it, I'm going to Carrefour.

No, you're not!

The priest's about to come.

I'll be back before he arrives.

-I said no!

What are you guys up to?

I caught my wife eating from the pan.

You! It was him!

She has her mouth full.

Show me!

The priest will be here any minute.

I'll just nip out before.

-No! Where do you want to go?

Have you seen the traffic?

Sandra, that man should've come

this morning.

That's the way it's done.

We're all waiting for him.

Why don't you have some starters?

They're in the living room.

Lary!

-Yes?

Is Uncle Emil's computer working?

I think so.

-And the Internet?

I don't know.

Can we take a look, please?

-Yeah.

I didn't know you had black people

in the building.

Blacks?

-Here, next door.

Real blacks from Africa.

Not gypsies.

So, scientifically,

I have the following facts:

One:

I was in New York and I saw...

It looks like I'm boring Mrs Evelina.

Don't say that, please.

Excuse me.

Go on!

So, scientifically, OK?

I have the following facts:

One:
I was in New York

and I saw with my own eyes

the second plane crash.

Two:
I went to a nearby tower,

where a doctor friend of mine lived,

and we watched the whole day

what was going on.

Three:
A journalist friend

saw the plane engines

falling from the wings,

the wings broke and everything fell

outside of the tower.

He even got $10.000

from Associated Press for the photos.

What's his name?

Does it matter?

No, but I want to see the photo

on the Net.

Look him up, Stephen Jobs.

Four:
I have a cousin there

who works for Boeing.

He explained to me how a plane

loaded with fuel is a bomb.

That's why planes stay airborne

when they have technical problems.

That's true.

Because if they crash, they vanish!

If that building on Armeneasca Street

burned down from a cigarette...

The National Theatre too.

-Really?

In the Ceausescu era.

-Wasn't that a plug?

No. A cigarette.

What do you think happens

when a plane hits a metal structure?

The joints melt and it all collapses,

steadily and symmetrically.

Like a tube in a tube structure.

I didn't know you were

a skyscraper expert!

No, but when it comes

to "tube in a tube",

he's a great master.

Who did you think you faced?

Baby, I'm going to Carrefour.

Wait a bit... Go on!

Alright.

Where was I?

Four:

White flames or small explosions

as suggested by specialists

could have come

from electrical systems:

fridges, various materials,

and even the exterior paint

of the curtain wall,

if you know what that is!

Sebi, there's no chance, not one,

that on one or several nights,

government forces or an individual

could have entered different floors

owned by different companies

and insert explosives

in the plasterboard,

without leaving a trace,

or anybody knowing,

or getting permission

from all the companies

in the two towers.

Plasterboard!

So you surf the Web too!

Yes, but not for porn!

Sorry!

Except you choose the official version.

He chose the official one

because it's the truth.

Had it been Bush,

we would've known.

Why aren't you at Carrefour?

-This is too fascinating.

Of course, we would've known!

If there had been

the slightest doubt,

not just the thousands of survivors

and the victims

would've caused an uproar,

but the insurers paying the claims

would've investigated.

Who?

-Listen!

A serious investigation would've ruled

it was an inside job.

And they wouldn't have paid

all the billions like they did.

Gabi, you following?

There's not one document?

Not one example

of a tower building demolition.

No precedent!

-Exactly!

We can't know exactly

how such a structure reacts

in demolition or collapse.

That could be my argument too!

-Over there, unlike in Romania,

you immediately go to jail

for a tiny mistake!

That could be my argument.

There's no chance that

if there was clear evidence

it would go unnoticed or be discarded.

It's only here that you can lie, kill,

steal, and get away with it.

Americans may be retards,

but when it comes to justice,

they don't fool around.

They make mistakes too!

There are too many pieces

for a perfect coordination.

Sebi!

There are too many pieces

for a perfect coordination.

Tower 7 might have been secretly

demolished, but nobody died there.

Maybe it was demolished

for security reasons.

Whether there were secret archives

or whatever, it doesn't matter.

I don't believe that!

A big round of applause!

I'm off to Carrefour.

You stay, this makes your skin glow.

Give me the card, please.

Here you go.

I'm glad you're both

so conservative.

Only people like you, conservatives

and driven by good intentions,

protect us others from catastrophes,

wars, economic crises,

etc.

Though what you say
