What did I do, Mrs Know-It-All?

F*** off!

You know damn well!

If you're so smart, spit it out!

Let it all out!

Goodbye, I'm out!

-Sebi, wait.

Don't "Sebi" me, Mom,

I'm sick of this sh*t.

See?

Why do you flex your muscles

with a guy shorter than you?

Why did he even take up the fight?

No sh*t!

You're just a p*ssy, man!

Keep it down, Sebi.

Don't leave, the costume.

-I'm out of here!

Get over it!

What? I haven't slept at home

for three months because of him.

What about me?

-Three months, understand?

And Mom?

You stay with her!

I'm out, and that's final!

Don't you get

that it's important to put this on?

That's how you alienate everybody.

Everybody?

Your son? Who you manipulated

against me all of your life?

I'm telling you for the last time:

act civilized

or leave!

Tony, we want to eat.

What's left now you've woken Irina?

No, he's right.

-How many times do I need to ask him?

I apologize for everything!

-I ask you kindly!

I'll close the door, it's private.

Nobody's interested!

Keep it down!

-I agree and forgive me!

Please don't go.

They calm down and we eat, OK?

Yes, love!

I'm hungry.

You could have waited.

-How long should I wait?

One comes, another goes.

Lary?

Sebi left, what do we do with the suit?

Do you want me to put it on?

You're the son of the deceased.

Do you want to ask me something?

Call Sebi, please.

And you think it'll make a difference?

What can I do?

Take your hands off me!

Come on, step away.

I didn't touch her!

-Then why are you here?

Sit down.

I didn't even touch her!

-I saw you!

She's my witness!

Did he hit you?

-How can you say that?

Stay put.

Did he hit you?

-Stop asking.

Then why do you scream?

-This is what I get everyday!

Everyday!

Ma'am, forgive me!

Lord!

Mother of God.

Ask Nusa.

She was there.

Forgive me.

Toni!

You know about today?

-What?

You know why we're here?

Forgive me. I'm done.

Please.

-I'm done.

Enough.

Nobody needs this circus.

Have some water, calm down.

There...

...are you calm?

Let's go home, Feli.

-Leave me alone.

Why?

So you can mutilate her too?

Come on, Mom!

What, am I wrong?

If Emil was here,

he wouldn't dare to make a scene.

That's true, Lary.

Had he been here,

he wouldn't have let anyone

make such a riot.

Grossness!

-Grossness!

Plain grossness!

What do you mean

by "if Emil was here"?

What would he do?

Pull me by the ear?

Nusa didn't mean that.

And what did you mean,

since you keep butting in?

Oi! Watch your mouth!

-Oi?

I didn't come here

to listen to people

quarrelling like gypsies.

I came to see civilized people!

I've known Nusa and Emil

since before Lary was born.

Then back off

and don't come between us two!

I never came between you two!

Because if it were like you said,

I wouldn't...

take her side

after she spilled chorba on me.

Eva, it wasn't deliberate.

You're right Nusa.

Great, you're the one crying now.

Have you lost it too?

Come on, Tony.

What's so funny?

Say what you have to say,

and have it done with.

Lary...

Do you know what she did to me?

I don't know, and I don't care.

Keep the dirty laundry in the family.

So that's it?

I'm no longer family here?

Come on, go and see

what Dragos and Magda are doing.

Mr Dragos is OK.

Bravo! Nice!

While Emil was alive I was family,

and now it's "shove off"!

If you're so into family,

why do you go after other women?

What women?

What women, Nusa?

The ones in Feli's head?

Aren't you ashamed of this girl?

The girl's a grownup now.

And just because

my wife is full of sh*t...

I have to go down

to the police station?

Is it her fault you hit that man?

Do you take me for a fool?

Did I lunge at his throat?

Good gracious!

Do you hear what you're saying?

God hears you!

Better ask your sister

who started this sh*t,

if you're interested.

I can't believe what I'm hearing!

If you talk her into believing

that I'm paying whores.

Better ask her

why she told Filip

I was having an affair with his wife.

And aren't you?

How could I, damn it?

Have you seen his wife?

Do you think she would even look at me?

But why don't you say she blew you?

What "Ofelia"? What?

Let Cami hear, too.

Let her know who you are.

Why hasn't he got the guts

to admit it?

You think I would have told her husband

if I hadn't been sure?

You smart-ass, women talk.

What did you think?

Did she tell you?

-Well done, you.

Why? Want to hit her too?

Come on, Feli...

Don't "come on, Feli" me!

Stop playing the saint!

Admit she sucked your dick,

and stop acting innocent!

Where are you going? Stay here.

And get your mother's education.

And he told her

that I'm no good in bed

and I don't do

the perverted stuff he likes.

You really believe what people say?

Of course I do.

You know why?

Because she said you came on yourself,

that's why!

That's what she said, Nusa!

Dear God.

That's right, pray,

maybe He'll give you what you deserve.

Let's have a drink.

You old pig!

Come on, perv.

Come on.

Here comes the bombardier!

Lary!

-What?

Kick him out, I don't want him in here.

Did I let him in?

-I don't want to see him.

She let him in.

She should kick him out!

Feeling better?

All my life, he's blamed me

for not giving him good oral sex,

and told me I'm lucky I'm so tight,

otherwise he'd have left me long ago!

Come on.

That's what he said.

That's what he said, Nusa.

In this family of mine,

we've always been kinda energetic.

Kind of Latin!

-What?

Yes, Latin!

Actually kind of Italian!

-How is it?

That's why my son

wants to go to Milan.

How is it Tony?

Is a blow job adultery or not?

Sandra!

What? Isn't that what it's all about?

Go ahead, ask Evelina,

she's got all the answers!

How can you talk like this?

Is this better?

Never set foot here again, pig!

Come on, Sandra.

-What, Sandra?

Are you friends now?

Got his number?

He's ruining dad's memorial.

-That's enough!

She is right.

I can't get upset,

I understand her perfectly.

Listen, Lary!

You can't press charges

against your own husband.

It's not right, whatever you say!

What was she supposed to do, lie?

Of course!

To deny it. I didn't ask her to make up

some incredible story.

But she saw

when you punched him, right?

I don't know. Debatable.

She saw through the peephole.

But what can you see

through a hole like this?

What does it matter if she saw or not,

when the husband asks for a hand?

You shouldn't have slept

with his wife, either!

Lary!

Cross my heart and swear to die!

May I burn in eternal fire if I lie!

Do you think I'm joking?

We've known each other a long time.

You know you've never been a saint!

I've never been a saint, but who is?

What? You've never made a mistake?

See?

You know what they say:

let him who is without sin...

If I'm not home, don't be surprised!

Hear me?

Don't push it! Wait and see

if I don't find you home!

What will you do to me?

What will you do?

See?

All they know is,

gimme-gimme-gimme
