The Lesson
1
Now I want you all to get up.
Place your backpacks
on the desk in front.
Put all your pocket money here-
at the end of the desk.
Katya, check everybody's backpacks.
It's nowhere, miss.
I'm giving 10 stotinki and I'm asking
each one of you to give 10 stotinki too
so that we can collect money
for Katya to get a snack.
This way the thief will owe
Thank you.
I have 50 stotinki.
- Four.
- Thank you.
- I have 20.
- Here's your 10 stotinki back.
Has everybody given their share?
Miss, I don't have any.
Okay, I'm giving 10 on your behalf,
and you'll pay me back tomorrow.
Miss, I can't take it.
Take it, don't be ashamed.
The one who should ashamed is the thief.
Everybody sit down.
The class is not over yet, please!
I want to give one more chance
to the student who stole the money.
The money can be returned
in this envelope secretly as it was taken,
until tomorrow.
I'm leaving the envelope here.
You're free to go.
Thanks.
Good for you,
you've translated them very fast.
It's only 40 pages.
These are the new materials
I copied for you.
Here is the paper version.
Here you are.
- What's the deadline?
- It's not urgent, take your time.
Please, give me back the plastic pocket.
I don't want the paper to get wrinkled.
The boss said he was certain next week...
He assured me and I'm certain
he will pay you as promised.
Yeah... but I checked the ATM -
- Awful.
- Yes.
But you're saying soon...
Well, we're gonna pay you for sure, we're
waiting for a bank transfer next week...
- Next week when?
- Tuesday.
Mark my word -
you'll be the first we'll transfer money to.
Last time you said Tuesday, but...
Well, fine, I'm joking.
You see, nothing depends on me.
I know you need the money,
but we're also waiting.
Mom, Mom!
Just in time, Nade.
These are the people
that I told you about.
- Hello.
- Peter. Nice meeting you.
- Let's get around one lap.
- Let's do it.
All of us.
- Us too?
- Yeah, all of us, everybody.
Let's jump in and drive this Felix.
- Felix?
- Yes.
Felix as in Felix the Rabbit,
isn't it so, Dea?
- You can name it differently.
- Yeah.
- Are we ready?
- Yes.
C'mon, Felix!
Mother f***-
- It needs more gas.
- Yes.
- Was that the whole ride?
- No, we'll take it out for a ride now.
- It doesn't start again.
- It will start now.
It's sputtering...
It's sputtering, eh?
Wait a minute, relax,
I'll be right back.
- Why don't you tell us how old you are?
- Four.
- Do you go to the kindergarten?
- Yes I do.
- Do you like it there?
- Yes.
- Do you have friends there?
- Yes.
Don't touch that.
- Are you done?
- The terminals were somewhat loose.
- Come on.
- Come on, let's go.
Holy sh*t.
You can't get out of there, come here.
I think he'll fix it.
Well, wait a little! I will fix it.
- It won't work.
- I'll fix it. You'll see.
- It's nothing...
- I'll fix it in five minutes.
Please, wait!
If you want come tomorrow.
Mladen, it's not gonna work out.
Put your feet here.
Perfect!
Good, steady?
Mind your head.
of the wheels, and speeding up...
...He flew off ahead.
Dea kept laughing.
Kept laughing, kept laughing...
she felt like sleeping.
She covered herself
with the warm blanket
and fell asleep.
Wash the dishes, please,
I have too much to do.
Later.
How can you breathe in here?
Stop sniffing at me, I haven't drunk.
I'm not sniffing, I'm kissing you.
Kissing my foot.
Don't worry. Somebody will buy it.
Don't ruin yourself because
of something so insignificant.
Let's go to bed.
Good afternoon, miss!
What a pity! One of you just ruined
the chance to correct your mistake.
I'm not leaving it at that.
The one who stole the money
should realize that nothing
will go unpunished.
I'll find out who did it
and will teach him a good lesson!
Is that clear!
What's going on here!
What's up, sweetie? Are you all right?
These men will take our house.
- I'm signing nothing.
- As you wish.
- What's this here?
- Get out of my house!
What business do you have walking
around here like a CEO!
Loser!
Don't insult me,
I'm an official of the court!
No, you're officially an a**hole!
Look, if you keep calling me names,
I'll ask the policeman to arrest you.
- Good afternoon.
- I hope it's good.
Would you explain to me why you are here?
I'll explain everything to you.
You can go now!
- No, he will explain to me.
- Nade, I'll explain to you later...
- This gentleman has taken a credit!
- Don't listen to him, Nade!
- Shut up, please.
- I will explain to you...
Shut up!
I'm listening.
The gentleman is not paying what he owes
and the bank considers
his debt subject to execution.
In my capacity
of a private enforcement agent,
I'm authorized to hold the auction.
There must be a mistake
because we've made all the payments.
We can show you the bank statements.
Show him the deposit slips and...
- Nade, I'll...
- They are over there!
Where are...?
Mladen, where are the deposit slips?
These aren't... What's this?!
These are the payment reminder letters
we've been sending for a long time.
I even called him
but he swore at me and hung up.
Nade, I told you I'll explain everything.
Let him go...
Have you deposited the money?
Nade, I can't tell you right now.
Look, this man here...
Have you made the payments
or haven't you?
- You haven't?
- No, I haven't.
Where's the money?
I can't explain now, please.
Where's the money?!
- Have you wasted it on drinks?
- No, I...
I haven't touched liquor for a long time.
Where's the money?
Whatever I say now...
for the camper outside!
So you've been lying to me the whole time
that you've made the payments,
while you're buying a gearbox?
And lying to me all this time?
- What are you staring at! Stop staring!
- Shut up!
Good-bye.
Please, wait a second!
Now I want you to explain clearly
to me... what's going to happen?
What about this auction...?
So, the gentleman is not paying
what he owes.
The bank has declared
the property for auction.
- And we have no other option?
- Of course, you have an option.
You can pay the money,
plus the interest for three days.
That can't be done.
The other option is to find a relative
to take part in the auction -
he comes, outbids the rest, wins,
and you fix things with him.
- Can we negotiate things with you?
- There's nothing to negotiate.
Please, give me a credit...
Sorry I meant a card...
I want to think it over,
perhaps I'll call you.
Here's my card,
the office number is there too.
Write it down
and my phone number, please.
From now on I'm asking you
to communicate with me personally.
Not here, here.
Come on, Bartoev.
Can you move the camper?
We can't get out.
You should get out the way you got in.
