Snack Bar Budapest Page #3

or got a puncture.

I'm not wasting the night, we have to

persuade those Budapest pigs.

I don't want them to know I need their place.

Go on, do your best, whatever it takes,

while I turn up the music.

I ring the bell and they'll open

because I'm a guest.

Five minutes later crafty old Ulysses opens

from the inside to let you in.

- Does Ulysses know?

- It's me, you moron.

- What the hell are you doing?

- Just to be on the safe side.

Let me in.

It's locked, you'll have to come in

round the corner.

The side door.

Round there.

- Done?

- Hardly.

It's this way, get ready.

- Hurry up.

- Are you alone?

Yes, and I'm getting cold.

Were you at the party?

Yes or no?

I passed by, there's not much happening.

They're waiting for Faffo to get back

from Portugal.

I wanted to go but my parents said no.

- How old are you?

-17, in August I'll be 18.

Shut the f*** up! We're trying to sleep,

it's not a bloody hospital.

You're a dirty pig, so is your mother

and your friends.

Did you learn that at hotel school?

I gave the keys to the man in room four.

I told you not to speak to guests.

How many times have I said not

to get taken in?

You took your time.

What were you doing? Making the beds?

Leave it out, it takes the time it takes

to do things properly.

- Upstairs?

- Let's get going.

Wait, let's have a drink first,

since it's on the house.

Try your luck.

Seven thousand lire.

Petrol money.

As soon as he gives the word I'm going

to mash all three of them.

Not yet.

Any particular reason?

Should there be?

I just want to think, ever feel like that?

No, if I think I can't move

Cheers!

No, it's bad luck!

To new times.

Slob!

We'll spend some...

and buy savings bonds with the rest...

every month.

Or Swiss francs -

doesn't it stick in your throat?

Far from it, I could see myself settled

down in Lugano.

Unless the kid's a piss-take.

- And we're fools.

- Molecola is fab.

He's young, but he'll grow soon enough.

- Which suits us.

- If you say so.

Here.

Cigarette?

Open up, please.

I'm in room four, could you open please.

At this time?

I'm sorry, but my throat is dry and

I've got a bit of a temperature.

I need a bottle of mineral water.

- Use your washbasin.

- The water's dirty.

No-one ever died drinking it.

I'm paying you enough, the least you

can do is open up.

I never open at night, not even for money.

The mineral water was a pretext,

I want to talk about your daughter.

- What's she done?

- That's what I need to talk about.

Sh*t face.

Got it?

Open the door when he tells you.

You can lick the spit on the ground.

Sh*t face!

Don't touch my daughter.

Don't make me go back to Budapest,

don't make me.

We're trying to help you.

We're in trouble.

I told myself it wasn't possible.

lt was true but it wasn't possible.

You tell them how it is.

Get out or we set fire to the lot.

Tell them, explain to them in proper Italian

what's what.

You've got three days to leave.

We need the hotel.

- That was a bit soft.

- Shut it!

lt would have to be them,

they would turn up here, now.

You go right now or it's all over for you -

understood?

We can pay monthly, up to two thousand.

- We'd wipe our asses with that.

- Three thousand.

No more.

No chance, you ugly whore.

What have you done?

Now what?

Carry him to the beach.

Give me something to wrap him in.

Tie his head.

Where's the sea?

It's just down there, 400m.

- What if they find out?

- What if?

If he's not around, he's not around.

- So kiss goodbye to five grand a month.

- Just get to the beach.

Sapo?

Where are you?

For God's sake, where are you?

I was checking no-one was around.

You were checking... let's get going.

I wasn't afraid, just standing guard.

- What's wrong with that?

- Fine, you were standing guard.

Put this on first, I can't look.

Take his arm.

At least tell me why you killed him.

- I just did.

- F*** that.

If we get out of this it'll be a miracle,

tell me why I'm risking my neck.

As a favour to me!

No favors! I'm here for cash!

You have to earn it, first you have to get

this worm back in the ground.

You knew that lot back at the hotel,

tell the truth.

- I'll tell you later, help me.

- You knew them.

Help me.

It's the second time they've got in my way.

Let's put the baby boy to bed

then you can tell me.

F***er!

If he gets down that's it.

I was only joking.

We're a bit drunk.

I'm very sorry.

It's his birthday we were celebrating,

sorry.

Evening.

Now we're quits.

Mr He-Man.

You're going for a dip, I'll come too!

I can swim naked.

You've had a bit too much to drink.

What a shitty party.

Introduce me then, my name's Carla.

I'm Molecola's prostitute, and his too...

A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

What about him?

I'm Carla.

lf we have to we'll kill her -

I'm thinking like a real murderer.

Can't you see he's dead.

Dead in what sense?

He can't get it up?

He can't get it up anymore

he's completely sozzled.

You're such a silly -

always fooling around.

Bye then, I'm getting cold here

without my panties.

Maybe another glass will warm me through.

Bye my friends.

If you love me, follow me.

What did they do at the snack bar,

pay you more?

Just dig and keep quiet.

I'll dig and you can tell me while

you pile up the sand.

I'll tell you nothing.

Dig more quickly.

You need to concentrate.

I didn't feel like telling the story again.

But I could see the two of them,

dressed in cheap clothes.

- You're against us.

- Spare me the crocodile tears.

Don't send me back to Budapest.

I'm defending the restaurant owner,

you were caught red-handed.

He's paying me.

Half of what we stole.

Fifty thousand.

We'll always be friends.

- Why are going back?

- To make them leave, tonight.

- Carry on Working for Molecola?

- Of course, nothings happened.

- Who is it?

- Open up.

You want to see them again, admit it.

Fine, I see, it's not going well this time.

- I'll take another.

- Just don't drink the lot.

Maybe that's it.

You have to leave.

Do I know you?

You must leave.

I never want to see you again.

- What about before?

- Nothing happened.

Do what he says or I'll castrate him.

Go now.

If you knew what a hard life,

what tough times we've been through.

This bar is all we have.

Do you know how it got its name?

I just want you to leave, tonight.

That's where I met my wife,

she's a bit of a dog now...

but not then.

You should have seen her breasts -

not big but just right, lovely face.

She was a waitress in a local restaurant.

Shut up, I don't care.

I was a trucker, I'd drive two days

flat out...

load up with meat in Budapest

then leave the following day.

Wake the kid and pack your bags.

Let me finish.

One day I went to see her on my own,

she got in the lorry and we left.

I'd had a hiding place made

between the seat and the engine.

I shut her in there when we got near

border control.

She should have been in there

half an hour maximum.
