The Tour Page #8

It lies to check henceforth barbarian

raids to seize our daughters!

All this deliverance

will my death insure.

And my fame for setting Hellas free

will be a happy one!

Thou didst not bear me

for myself alone,

but as a public blessing

to all Hellas.

I have no right at all

to cling too fondlyto my life!

Now turn we to that other point.

It is not right that this man should

enter the lists fox a woman's sake.

Or that he could be slain.

Better a single man should see

the light, than ten thousand women!

If Artemis is minded

to take this body...

Am I, a weak mortal,

to thwart the goddess?

Nay... that were impossible.

To Hellas I resign it.

I offer this sacrifice...

And make an utter end ofTroy.

This is my enduring monument.

My motherhood.

My honour.

And my fame!

It is but right, mother, that

Hellenes should rule barbarians!

But not barbarians Hellenes, those

being slaves, while these are free!

Get out of here.

You're free to go.

What will happen to Ljubiae?

Maybe they'll put him on trial.

Yeah, I bet...

He'll be released after a fair trial.

Really? You think

nothing will happen to him?

Who has shown any mercy

around here?!

Who?

There is no such thing here.

To listen to a man, to try

to understand him, to forgive him!

Here, it's immediately

a knife at your throat!

That's Bosnia! F***ing Bosnia...

Djuro,

do you have a place to stay?

No need.

I'm going back immediately.

-At night?

-I'll drive slowly. No problem.

-Take a rest before that.

-I'll be honest with you.

I don't really like Belgrade much.

-My folks wait for me over there.

-Suit yourself.

Have a safe trip back,

and thankyou for everything!

Good luck!Thanks!

Where were you

at rehearsal yesterday?

We... what was yesterday?

Tuesday, and the day before was

Monday, when we had the day off.

Yesterday, we rehearsed

scenes nine and ten.

I was... I...

-It's written all over your face!

-What?

That, on your forehead. What is it?

You hit the "door"?

-What's this on my head?

-A bump.

-How did I get a bump?

-To be in your shoes, Zaki.

-Who did this to me?

-Did something happen?

-Nothing happened.

-You seem a bit...

-Everything's all right!

-Ifyou say so.

Tomorrow we've go

through the "Prosecution".

Starting with Scene One.

Good night!

-Good night.

-Good night.

I'm off.

-Is there anything to eat?

-The canteen is closed.

There's food on stage, though.

Props. Left over

from "The Minister'sWife".

No problem. You go on.

"The Minister's Wife" has been

cancelled. Darko's sick.

His appendix, or something.

And we had a full house.

Terrible!

-Thanks!

-Good night!

-Good night.

-Good night.

Who is...

Darko's substitute for this play?

If it's his appendix, that can last

for 1 5, maybe 20 days.

I know Eeda's role by heart.

I played him in sabac.

So, I'm available

if they need anyone.

You mean...

No problem, Stanislav.

All right.

I'll be off, then... Jadranka!

I'm... staying.

I see.

No problem.

I have to catch the night bus

to New Belgrade.

And don't forget

what I said about Eeda.

If they need anyone.

Don't worry, Stanislav,

we'll all be pushing for you.

Thank you.

Bye!

OLIVERA and RADE MARKOVIAE
