The President Page #2

Sit! Hurry up!

Why didn't we bring that guard with us?

He's dead.

What does "dead" mean?

When someone can't breathe anymore.

When he can't talk,

can't hear,

can't move,

then he's dead.

Will you die, too?

Yes, I will.

Will I die, too?

You will die, COO.

Wash my ass, Your Majesty!

Everyone should wash his own ass.

But I've never washed my ass.

Me neither.

Let's try.

If you'd shot him, would he be dead?

Hurry up, come on!

Stop here!

Come on, quickly!

Stand here. Hold your coat up.

Wash!

There's the water.

Are you cold?

NO.

Come, quickly!

Are your pants falling down?

Give me your hand. Don't be afraid.

Dad! They won't give Mom any more credit.

She needs money to buy bread.

And my notebook is finished.

This isn't even enough

for half a notebook.

I don't have it.

What can I do? It isn't enough.

Before, I had many customers,

now it's just one or two.

I'm ashamed but...

I didn't come here for a haircut,

but when you started I thought...

I'm embarrassed, but...

I wanted to borrow some money.

Now I understand.

Your Majesty, where are we going?

I don't know.

Either to where Grandma is,

or to where your mom and dad are.

Let's go to Mom and Dad. I miss them.

Why are they never around?

Where have they gone?

Far away.

Far, far away?

Far, far away.

Don't kill them, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, is it really you or am I

dreaming?

Take off your clothes!

Take off your clothes.

Bring me your clothes.

Take it off, quick!

Burn my clothes.

And this!

Mr. President!

In all my life I've never

committed any crime.

Quick!

Hurry HP'

I can't, Mr. President,

my hands are trembling.

I don't want to hurt you.

Your Majesty.

why are you getting your hair cut?

We're going to play, as if we were actors.

Do you like theater?

YES.

That's good.

It's me, Dad, open the door.

Mr. President, it's my son.

Dad, listen to the radio!

Attention! Attention!

The latest update about the President.

The traitor president, who escaped from

the airport a few hours age.

has stolen a farmer's motorcycle

and fled to the north of the country.

A few minutes ago

the President's driver

surrendered to the military

to avoid punishment.

Dad, everyone's shut their shops.

Come on! Let's go and catch him!

Any citizen who captures the traitor

president dead or alive

and delivers him

to the united opposition forces

will receive a reward of 200,000 dollars.

Take it off! Quickly!

Faster!

Hurry HP'

Put this on.

Move! Come on, boy!

Come and finish my hair.

Mr. President has come

to seek refuge in our house.

Come here! Closer!

Come on!

Put the scissors away and shave me!

Be careful.

Don't drink!

NO, HO, HO'

Please remember,

if anyone brings you food or drink,

don't taste it before

they try it themselves.

To make sure that it's not poisoned.

Understand?

You drink first.

Drink.

OK, enough. Now the bread.

Faster.

Enough. Stand over there!

Eat!

Death to the dictator!

Your Majesty.

If you'd cared about the people earlier

it might have been better.

Hungry people grow wicked.

Lend me some money.

I swear when I regain power,

I'll pay you back a thousand times.

I had no customers today.

Shameless, greedy people!

You didn't even pay your taxes!

You destroyed this country! You!

Your Majesty, I have money!

Hands up!

Let's go, quick!

Leave those!

Flying at 165 degrees,

board number 12,

approaching from the north.

My helicopter, Your Majesty!

Has it brought Maria?

NO! NO!

Will it take us to the palace?

NO!

That isn't your helicopter anymore.

That is our enemies' helicopter.

Let's pretend we are shepherds.

You have to herd the sheep like this.

Hey! Hey!

Let's shout! Hey!

Attention! Attention!

A barber and his son have been arrested

for helping the President

disguise himself.

The barber and his son

are being questioned.

More updates to follow.

Hide and don't move! I'll be back soon.

Maria?

Maria!

Maria!

Boy! If you want to work,

you must come at sunrise.

Why aren't you working?

Take this stone. Work!

Mommy! Mommy!

Thief!

Go! Go back inside!

Quickly!

Thief! My clothes!

Inside!

Where are you?

I'm tired, Your Majesty.

When are we going back to the palace?

This is your new palace.

Wait here. I'll be back.

I'm cold.

I'm scared.

Command them to turn on the lights.

Turn on the lights!

Warmer now?

YES.

But I'm all itchy.

Come here.

We'll change clothes.

Let's take it off.

I'll play.

and you dance, okay?

Alone?

Yes, alone.

Maria, where are you going?

Come back!

Maria!

If anyone asks who we are,

we have to say we're street musicians.

I play and you dance.

You hold out your hand

and they put money in it.

I'm bored with this game.

I'm tired, Your Majesty.

Don't call me "Your Majesty" anymore.

I'm no longer the President,

and you are no longer "Your Royal

Highness".

I'm your granddad.

And you are my grandson.

From today

I'll call you Dachi.

Why?

Because if anyone finds out who we are

they will kill us both.

They are our enemies.

Who are our enemies?

Everyone.

Yesterday's friends.

People.

Soldiers.

Everyone around us.

Do you understand?

I miss Maria, Your Majesty.

When will we go back to the palace?

Your Majesty, I want to go to Maria.

How many times must I tell you not to call

me "Your Majesty"?

Don't you understand?

Do you want to get us killed?

LOOK 81 me.

Do you hear that?

What do you want?

Can't you hear the helicopters?

I miss Maria!

What Maria? This is no time for Maria.

What should we call him?

Granddad.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty.

And you are?

And you are?

Ne'?

Your Majesty.

NO.

You are His Royal Highness.

I'm bored. I want to play with Maria.

Your Royal Highness, let's practice.

Once more, carefully, okay?

How should we address this person?

Ah, Your Majesty.

Your Royal Highness, come.

Come on, let's arm wrestle.

And the winner

will receive this prize.

Come on.

I won! I'm the winner!

I'm stronger than you!

You've broken my hand!

I'm stronger than you!

I won!

I don't want to sleep here.

I want to be near you.

Don't be afraid. I'll hold your hand.

Hold my hand.

Tell me a story.

Once upon a time

there was a president

who had a very bad temper.

One day, the president's family

went to the airport.

They had to fly far.

Far away.

The president's grandson didn't want to go

with his family,

so he stayed with his granddad.

That's a bad story.

It's about us.

Tell me a good story.

Once upon a time

there was a very

smart, Nave

and obedient boy.

Who lived in a big, beautiful palace

with a very beautiful girl,

whose name was

Maria.

Please get out

and take your stuff with you.

Hello, my son.

Hello, Granny.

Don't take it. Don't...

Granny, we haven't been paid

for three months.

If people don't give us food.

how can we survive?

I'm feeding my children with its eggs.

Better hungry but safe, Granny.

What have you got here?

Nothing.

A few old scraps

and some dried-up bread.

What do you do?
