Only the doorman stayed behind

so no one steals the circus.

Why did you bring them, too?

Wait. Why should

the administrative people vote?

We should vote, it's out bear.

He's a circus artist, just like us.

He needs their votes to shoot our bear.

Mr. Ciacanica, please.

A little respect.

They're employees just like you, right?

They didn't get their salaries either.

It's a democracy, Mr. Ciacanica.

We're all equal.

Comrade Ciacanica,

don't we work here, too?

Aren't we art people

like everybody else?

Will you listen to him?

We love animals, too, comrade Ciacanica.

I fed that bear, too.

Yeah, right.

You fed the counter-revolutionaries.

Mr. Ciacanica, please.

She is an employee, just like you,

so she's entitled to vote.

Then she should get on stage!

After the Revolution, didn't she say

we should wash the floors in our rooms?

Comrade, you just do somersaults.

You don't work. Nobody here works.

Why don't you do somersaults, then?

Please, no one is leaving!

Everybody votes.

- Stoian, go after them!

- No administrative people should vote!

They're making fun of you.

I don't know how you're going to do it,

but I need the bear tomorrow.

No.

No.

No.

Yes.

No.

See, Aurel? The bear

will stay at our circus.

Spare me the hanky-panky.

Who are the five who voted against'?

You're the only one

who could've voted against!

Because the bear broke that box

where you'd put Cici

and stab her ass

with your sword.

Are you crazy?

Why would I vote against?

You said you'd make a rug out of Martin!

I was pissed off.

But I said yes, I mean I wrote no.

No to selling the bear.

Didn't you just say you voted against?

That's for. For selling him!

Hey! What did we vote for?

I said to write down yes" or "no".

"Yes" for selling the bear, no for not selling.

That's what I understood.

What did you vote for, schmuck?

Watch you mouth, I'll slap you so hard

you'll swallow that ball.

- What did you vote?

- I don't know.

I voted for the bear

to stay at the circus.

So you voted "yes.

So you voted for Panduru.

No! I don't want them to sell the bear.

- But do you want the salary?

- Who doesn't want the salary?

See who voted against'?

And you were suspecting me.

Wait a minute. There's a misunderstanding.

People don't know what they voted for.

We'll vote again.

People don't know what they voted for.

Are you crazy? No more voting.

Anyhow, the bear is not going anywhere.

Didn't you promise me that you'd give me

the bear if I came back to you?

Well, did you?

You came back, my ass.

A month later, you went back to him.

When he put flowers in the box and

you forgot to pull your legs

because you were excited

he nearly cut you in half with the saw.

Yes, but he gives me flowers.

And a gift once given can't be redeemed.

It is not Panduru who decides, but me...

And anyway, we shouldn't have voted.

What the hell!

People, I think you don't understand.

On paper, the bear is mine. Get it'?

When I took over this circus,

I took the bear and the lion and...

Those lousy hens, and Marcelino's rabbits...

and lam in charge of them.

Hey! Wait a minute.

Why don't we sell the lion to the German?

Are you really that stupid?

Lions in Romania?

How stupid must that German be?

- Let me explain.

- Explain what'?

- The bear belongs to Cici and that's it.

- The bear belongs to me.

The bear belongs to the circus.

And lam the circus manager.

What the hell?

Let's vote again.

Guys, be reasonable.

Let's talk...

Let me explain, please,

It's for everybody's best interest.

Please, let me explain.

Mr. Ciacanica..., Mrs. Cici...

Think about the money.

Come on, guys.

Hey, it's our main rehearsal! It's...

- I'll buy you another.

- What?

What bear will you buy?

A teddy bear'? Juggler.

Cut the crap or I'm getting really mad.

The bear is dying

and you're arguing.

What are you doing, Shorty?

Didn't I tell you that bears don't eat bananas?

I know, but in Romania apples

are more expensive than bananas,

so I bought the cheapest fruit

I could find.

OK...

Here's the permit.

...don't waste time there.

We have a Fritz too.

...the transport authorization.

Happy hunting and a shitload of luck.

Ru tell you.

All taken care of?

I've never seen anything like it.

Such people, my God!

They don't want the money...

Just to save that stupid bear

that I haven't even seen.

Yes. Unbelievable!

And if you knew how they

pestered me to get their money.

Any way I could.

They said I was incompetent,

that they are starving, that...

That's bad, Panduru.

The voting rumpus was bad, too.

I think that the people who voted no

actually meant yes,

they just didn't understand

how the vote worked.

And now, nobody wants money anymore.

They all want the bear.

- It's enough to drive you nuts.

- Forget about this. What now?

The Fritz has confirmed he's on his way.

I think he's here already.

I signed his permit.

But did you find somebody

who's unable to tell he's tame?

Don't you worry.

Any ranger who sees him will know.

I hired a gipsy in a forest range, in Buzau.

They're pestering us anyway, saying

we've got something against minorities,

that we marginalize them.

The only living bear he's ever seen

was in a photo.

But where do we get it?

The forest range ones are all accounted for.

We'd run into trouble.

And the permits... Each one's registered.

I just released one.

The head ranger is bribed.

The gypsy's out of it.

We need the bear.

The bear is not a problem. What the hell?

lam the manager, I'm in charge.

Let them sue me

for helping them by force.

They'll come around

when they get the money.

- Yes, but how are you going to do this?

- Well...

We take him early in the morning.

Early, before they come.

We take him? Like, steal him?

- We're not stealing him...

- I don't want to be involved in theft.

We're not stealing him.

Am I not in charge?

If they had agreed, we'd have done it

the same way. Only later.

Yeah, but...it sounds like we're stealing him!

We don't have any papers.

You can't expect travel papers now, can you.

What if the police stops us?

It would be the same

if they had all agreed.

The circus car and me...

I am a certified Revolution vet, right?

Just like you.

I just hope we don't get into trouble.

Just now you were telling me

to get the bear, that the German is coming...

Now you have the bear

and you're hesitating?

I told you I was in charge.

By the way... Why the hell did

you tell them it's 50,000?

Didn't I say less?

We could've used the rest to cover some debts.

Now, even if the German shoots him,

they'll ask for 50,000.

- We'll figure this out...

- You will. I'm staying out of it.

OK. We'll meet in the morning

at the gas station on the outskirts.

Hello, ma'am.

ls Mr. Stoian at home?

Panduru, his boss...

From the circus, yes.

Yes, thank you.

Hello, Stoian,

I need the SUV tonight.

Ah, it's at the garage.

What about the keys?

You have them...

No...for my brother...no...
