Yuma Page #2

Synopsis: YUMA is a gripping drama about the rise and fall of Zyga - a Polish kid in his early twenties, who wants to take charge of his life after the fall of communism, but in a time of chaos and moral anarchy, unwillingly becomes a gangster. When, after transformation to capitalism, poverty and humiliation rule on his side of the border, he crosses to the other side of the river, where the Germans seem to have it all, and literally reaches out for the symbols of a better life. Back home, handing out stolen Adidas and Ray Bans makes him a Robin Hood of his community. Before he realizes what is happening, money and power overtake his naive dreams of a better life and things spiral out of control. It seems Zyga is destined for the fate of Macbeth, a man doomed by ambition and a betrayed moral code...

Me? Just let him try.

Here's a coming-home present. Take it.

You got me wrong...

Watch out, Zyga. Watch out.

Don't you f***ing think that...

I'm not thinking anything.

Nothing happened back there, man.

Everything happened there.

Watch it, Zyga.

You're assaulting a police officer now.

- Hello. How are you?

- Hello. May I come in?

Be my guest.

Have you come to see me as well?

I brought something for you.

I'm busy right now.

Come back in an hour. See you.

- Dad, I'll be needing the car again.

- For how long?

About this long.

Check it out. Hunchback German.

This one from Brzegi.

You gonna boost the hunchback?

Zyga.

Zyga!

See? We again meet. In better times.

Good Germany, I good German.

- Asas drowie.

- Na zdrowie!

Na zwolie!

Have you been here long?

Not long. This store belonged to my parents.

Books won't get me rich, but...

We were supposed to have

a drink in better days.

Yes, I know.

You're the only ones

enjoying the better days though.

Zyga, ask him what he thinks

when he hears "Warszawa".

Ask him yourself.

- Warszawa?

- Yes, I know, capital of Poland.

No!

So, what does it make you think of?

What do you think of

when you hear "Warszawa?"

What am I f***ing supposed to think?

Well?

Warszawa... I don't know.

About war, uprising...

F***, no! W-arsch-awa...

Arsch.

Ah, arsch... ass. Ass, right?

Yes. Good.

Good, Helmut.

Cheers.

Chill out, there are no thieves here.

- Come on, it's Zyga.

- So what?

Papers.

Leave me alone, Rysiu.

I'm not in the mood for jokes.

- You outta your mind, Rysio?

- I'm not joking.

Please step out of the vehicle.

- Want me to stake him out?

- Go for it before he gets Zyga.

Have you been drinking?

F*** off, Rysiu.

Get back inside the vehicle.

Which hand should I whack you with?

- Where are the keys?

- What keys?

- The keys to the car.

- Must have dropped them somewhere...

F***!

I hear you dressed up half the town

already. What are you, Robin Hood?

Yes, Robin Hood.

Take whatever you want.

What do you want from him?

The boy's got a knack for business.

What's wrong with helping your family?

Don't you know that nobody makes

monkey business without me here?

That includes you.

They want you to come down

to the police station.

Come see me.

Auntie will take care of it.

Give me that.

The summons.

Done.

I hear you've been going to the Reich?

Yeah, for yard sales.

Get me a television set.

A big one.

As long as it's not German.

Germans are only good for cars.

Halina!

I don't want that language here!

Didn't I make myself clear?

Do you know how much

they stole from us?

They owe us for wartime reparations.

Yes.

And who pulled out

grandpa's gold teeth in Auschwitz?

Where do think the gold is at now?

Don't worry about the summons.

We're like family here.

And family comes first.

Right, Halinka?

Are you really buying from a German?

Load this up, will you?

Anybody need a fridge?

For my mom!

This is major sh*t.

Come on, open up.

Open up.

So what am I supposed to do with all this?

Out of the car, gentlemen.

We could use some help here.

Is that it?

Everybody's stealing along the border.

I need to send the goods inland.

That costs money.

A sun bed isn't a tracksuit.

You get whatever you ask for.

And our cut is getting smaller.

Aren't you the businessman.

What the hell...

We're family.

Listen, some people in Zielona

want mountain bikes.

- Mountain bikes?

- Guess they're trendy now.

Can you get some?

Yuma can get you anything.

F*** this sh*t!

All I do is haul stuff around.

Zyga, what am I? The post office?

No song, no supper.

What's that supposed to mean?

It's an old Polish saying.

Things have changed here.

It's colourful.

Pretty girls.

Just like home. A Volkswagen.

Look how cheap those 501s are.

Let's go inside.

You don't have to.

Don't you understand anything?

I really don't know how to put this,

Mr. Zygmunt.

There's this machine, for analysing...

We could really use one

in the health centre...

Kula, write down

the exact name of this thing.

I'm sure we can find one somewhere.

Let's go.

Sit down.

Well? Let's have a drink.

In better times.

Nice dress.

Kula write it down!

The Reverend wants a mountain bike!

Where'd he tell you that, at Mass?

Nah, Halinka's.

You're not that hard to find.

Even though you don't answer your summons.

When people want something,

they come to me...

and I get it for them.

What is it you want, Rysio?

Rysio? Is that Rysio? Yes?

That's not Rysio, that's a cop.

"Hund" in German.

You're just an ordinary thief.

What are you staring at?

Get the f*** out of here in that dress!

Majka!

What a surprise. Boys...

Relax, I just wanted to say hello.

I come back from Afganistan

and I hear:
Zyga this, Zyga that.

So I wanted to get to know you...

But we've already met.

Let bygones be bygones.

Zyga, we must...

We need to talk.

One, two, buckle my shoe.

You're blowing me, now I blow you...

- Hello?

- Greetings, Zyga.

Hear that bird?

Tell your homies

that Opat is in town.

You have to finish with yuma.

Now my alcohol flows across the border.

If not...

What do you have against that boy?

Where'd you get that?

"Nike" stole it, Mr Zygmunt.

So, are you going to introduce me?

Who are you talking to?

There's two of us here.

You're hiding the German again?

I'm moving out.

Where to?

But Majka, I'd do anything for you.

Just tell me what it is you want.

The dummy will get it for you.

I want Prince Charming on a white horse

to come and take me away from here.

That's supposed to be him?

We're meeting at the border at 10.

And what if we have to grease

the border pigs again?

No sweat. They're taken care of.

But I like to have

a good time after work.

No problem, the b*tches are lined up.

Zyga!

Come on, the blow is on me.

Ziggy, the one I asked for...

I don't know if it's me or...

Mom, I'll bring you a VCR. You can

record it, and it'll be like real life.

And what do you need it for?

You should have the Pope in you heart.

Better bring something decent.

It's Halina! Look at that ride.

It's a gift from your auntie.

You like it?

I bought it. So you can drive

your auntie around in style.

Are we taking him along?

Why should he stay alone at home

all day. Also he gets on dad's nerves.

Okay, I'll go pee at your mama's.

Fine.

The dummy brought this?

He bought it.

It's beautiful.

I guess your prince

must be taking a nap now?

Come with me.

I'm never going back there.

No. Let go.

- Help! Hilfe!

- Maja!

Screw this!

You're back. Did you bring it?

Did I bring what?

To watch the Pope,

you were supposed to get this thing...

You forgot, right?

Don't deny it.

Beautiful, just beautiful.

Like father, like son.

Nobody ever listens to what I say.

You promised and now you forgot.

You don't have any respect for me.

It's not how I'd raised you.

And I do everything for you. Who else

does the washing, the cooking, who...

Mom...
