"May 1944"

The British and American armies are still engaged

in bombing Romania.

Their aim is to undermine the government's determination

to remain the ally of Germany.

The number of casualties among the military,

and especially among the civilians, is increasing.

Cut it out.

We are hereby urging the population to strictly follow

the rules of civil defense in case of bombing.

Upon the first warning signs,

take immediate refuge in shelters.

Come on! Come on already!

Come on already!

But where's Grandpa?

We forgot Grandpa.

Attention! Do not panic!

Don't waste your time trying to locate valuable items

that you might want to save from destruction.

Yes, sugar pie, it's not that I don't want to come home.

We've had this conversation before.

There are days when I just have more work to do.

Come on, I'm not having an affair.

Hold on just a second.

There's a call on the other line.

Wait.

No, don't call me back later.

Hold on, I'll get Luiza to pick it up.

Yes, Luiza's here.

Come on, honey.

Here we go again with why she's here.

She's here because she's got work to do.

Wait, there's another call.

These raids, the first after April 6,

put the Podgorica leaders,

who enjoy Western support, in a tight spot.

They have to face the increasingly numerous

anti-NATO demonstrations.

Luiza!

Come on, what are you doing?

The phone's ringing.

Talk to you later.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, office of the State Secretary.

Yes.

Yes, yes, sir.

Can you hold on just a minute, please?

Thank you.

Wait, don't put her on the phone.

Yes.

How's my little princess?

Now, I just talked to Mommy,

and she told me you haven't finished your milk.

Okay, put Mommy back on the phone.

Look, something urgent's come up.

I have to go. I'll call you later, okay?

Bye.

What?

NATO's calling.

So what am I supposed to do?

Have them call the minister.

Well, they said he's gone. He's already left.

Do I love tits? Do you like tits?

Oh, man, I love tits.

- Me too, man. - Tits are...

This is Stella, and guess what.

I'm not home right now.

Hey, it's David.

We keep missing each other.

It's...

this time difference is a killer.

So...

I was thinking of you, wanted to say hi,

and...

and I wanted to say hi.

So I will try you again...

soon, as soon as I can.

Okay, hope you're good.

Bye.

Listen, there was this guy amongst camp, the one...

what's his name?

The guy with three tits.

What do you mean, three tits?

Like three nipples, you know.

You call those nipples?

Well, yeah, nipples.

I mean, this guy said that there is a sure thing

how to get old Jonesy to freak out...

Hey, form it up!

Fall in.

- Good morning, sir. - At ease.

Welcome to Operation Joint Guardian, gentlemen.

You're all now part of Lima Company,

26th Battalion.

I'm proud.

- How do you feel? - Proud, sir!

In fact, I'm damn proud.

- How do you feel? - Damn proud, sir!

Yeah.

All right, we're gonna rendezvous with Turnu Severin.

The rest is installation.

1900 hours, gentlemen, Tuesday.

Backing the carousels.

And you save rounds.

I want to remind you all here you're in protected air space,

non-combatant zone.

Worst-case scenario here is condition one.

You are here on a peacekeeping mission

on behalf of the peoples of Kosovo.

On behalf of Sergeant McLaren and myself,

sit back, enjoy the ride.

Sergeant,

as you see fit.

Detail,

ten-hut!

Thank you, sir. Good morning, sir.

Fall out!

Let's grab our gear and haul ass.

Fall in line!

Come on!

Come on already!

Ready to go?

These guys are stalling with their bloody engine.

Some uniforms you got.

Fit us like gloves. They're for special ops.

Can't feel the cold. Can't feel the heat in 'em.

NATO standards.

1078, TAC 99, Captain Doug Jones, sir.

How are you, sir?

Welcome. I am Tanase.

Fall in!

So everything's tactical here, set to go?

Marian, come here!

Tell the American commander you'll be doing the translating.

Hello.

Welcome. I am going to translate.

Good, good.

We're set to go here? Can I take a look?

He wants to take a look around.

We have an 0900 departure.

Who's in charge here?

He's in charge.

Yes, sir.

We have a deadline to meet.

And we want to get the train out of the harbor...immediately.

So let's get the engine back together.

Let's get it fixed up.

Can we do it now, please?

Please.

He's asking you nicely.

Marching band!

The Yugoslavian news agency reported that NATO missiles

have hit Bosnian and Croatian refugee camps

in Marcici, South Belgrade.

The Serbian press claims that the bombing

has damaged yet another bridge across the Danube.

Hello.

Hi.

You came to pick Monica up?

I'm giving her a ride to school.

Your father bought you this car?

Yeah. You like it?

It's the coupe model.

I'm thinking of running for mayor myself,

if the money's so good.

Let me go see if she's up.

What do you want?

Your prince is here.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Morning, sir.

Spit it out.

Boss, the 9:30 freight train is on its way.

Help yourself to some chicken.

My daughter's not eating.

You got the items list?

Got it.

Morning, miss.

Come!

How's it going, princess?

Tell me what you're doing here.

I thought we'd agreed we weren't going to see each other anymore.

Hold on, I thought you were kidding or playing me,

stuff like that.

Baby, come on, I was crystal clear.

That's it. It's over.

Es finito, ¿comprende?

So aren't you at least going to tell me what happened?

Nothing happened.

That's the whole point.

You changed the spokes on the car's wheels, eh?

That's it for today.

Take good care of the parcels.

Boss, on the 2:00 train,

we've got 10 boxes of 3.5 ball bearings.

We're selling those at 500 a pop.

10 boxes of tractor ball bearings.

Say we send those to Galati.

I took PVC, double glazings, wire,

and some other stuff in bulks

I reckoned we'd sell those on the local market.

On the 8:00 freight train we've got 10 cases of beer,

wine, soda, and stuff.

We'll sell those through Gelu's supermarket.

And so on.

Cigarettes, we've got 2, 4, 6 times 5 cars.

30 boxes.

Take out more.

They won't catch us, the goddamn asses.

And don't go selling them to Gelu.

He pays after selling the stuff.

It's okay. I've got a new deal all set.

Next?

Right. Paint, cement, 100 each.

Spare Dacia parts from the 8:00 freight train.

And then there's the fertilizer on the Vâlcea freight train.

I promised the mayor 20 sacks.

I see.

I'm guessing it all adds up to about 40 million.

This is the one for the factory.

For the factory, huh?

Yeah.

Well, aren't they closing the damn thing down so I can buy it?

Come on.

Take a decent share from every car.

We'll record them as losses.

Man, these gypsies are killing us.

They emptied half a car again.

And I'm the one who always gets the blame.

I'll catch them.

I'll teach them a lesson to stop stealing.

Isn't anyone going to answer that phone?

Capalnita station.

Constanta station calling.

I'd like to speak to the shift supervisor, please.

Speaking.

Yes?

Hello.

A train carrying NATO equipment will pass through your station.

It's guarded by American soldiers.

Yes, I understand.

It's been granted free passage.

Listen carefully.

Don't make any problems.

They have government approval.

Don't make any problems.

"I'd like to feel your hot skin under my lips.

I love you."

It's me.

Listen, a train with Americans is on its way.

I don't know, just about now, in, like, 15 minutes.

Okay, man. I got it.

Thanks.

Hey, guys, listen up!

Gather round.

Tell all the guys to come to work.

We're going on immediate strike.

Yeah!

Great!

Doiaru wants to put us out of work

so he can buy the factory real cheap.

The time has finally come to make ourselves heard!

Yeah!

Let's go!

Victor, come over here.

By the power vested in me...

Excuse me.

Yes.

Hello, sir.

You've got yourself a problem.

A train with Americans will pass and the word is out.

Good thing you called me.

Yes, I'll be right there.

By the power vested in me,

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

Come on, sign here.

I have to go.

Kiss the wife.

Some water?

Cut it out!

Hi, do you want some water?

Water?

Yeah?

Here!

All right.

So Diana Ross, she knocks on George Burns' dressing room,

and George Burns is there, sitting there,

having a...

a glass of wine, and, you know, they have sex.

And then she says,

"So why did you make me, you know,

why'd you make me hold"...

I can't remember the joke because...

Come on, guys!

Come on!

We're not going home till somebody hears us.

Come on, move it.

Trifan, you're in charge

of holding that banner up and across.

Thieves, thieves, thieves!

Thieves, thieves, thieves!

Come on, Trifan!

Thieves, thieves, thieves!

"STRIKE"

Thieves, thieves, thieves!

Thieves, thieves, thieves!

Give us our money!

We want our money!

Give us our money!

We want our money!

Give us our money!

We want our money!

What's going on here, folks?

Are you out of your minds?

We're picketing.

We've gone on immediate strike.

On the railroad tracks?

Listen, guys, a train with Americans is on its way.

You want us to make fools of ourselves?

We know. That's why we're doin' it.

Maybe somebody will hear us out.

So what if Doiaru hears you?

The investor bailed out

'cause Doiaru looted the factory trains.

We've filed for bankruptcy,

and you ain't doing squat about it, Mayor.

Thieves, thieves, thieves!

Thieves, thieves, thieves!

Thieves, thieves, thieves!

Boss.

A train with Americans is headed our way.

Some big shots or something...

Carrying NATO military equipment.

Bucharest has granted them free passage.

Maybe, but I'm the boss here.

Have them stop for a check-up.

Folks, people are going to hear bad things about us.

Clear the railroad tracks,

and I'll buy all the oil in your factory.

God bless you, Mr. Mayor.

We'll not sell ourselves so cheap.

We're going all the way, brothers!

All the way!

Thieves, thieves, thieves!

Thieves, thieves, thieves!

Thieves, thieves, thieves!

Give us our money!

You know what?

You're free to do whatever you want.

That's why we've got democracy, right?

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

Dorel Mateescu. Doiaru: railroad stationmaster.

What's your freight car carrying?

Well, it's American military cargo headed for Kosovo.

It's a NATO car.

And its content is top secret.

I want to see your papers.

Well, don't you get it?

It's military cargo.

We've got approval from high up, from the government.

No, you're the one who doesn't get it.

I have regulations to observe.

Without proper paperwork, I can't let you pass.

Is there a problem here?

The officer would like to know if there's a problem.

I need to see custom and transportation papers.

This is a NATO military transport, sir.

This has been organized and authorized by your government.

Any documentation will be in your possession, sir.

You have international transport from America?

That is correct, sir.

And where are you now?

I'm in Romania, I guess.

So according to the Romanian transportation laws,

you need to have custom papers.

You might; wouldn't you say that?

You fucked up my punch line.

Hello, my dear!

Whoa!

This is the legislation.

I don't make legislation.

I respect legislation.

You come to Romania.

You have to respect legislation too.

Well, if you respect legislation, sir,

you are hereby advised to comply with what's been coordinated.

Do I make myself clear?

Have I made myself understood here?

Have I made myself clear here?

Fuck USA.

Fuck NATO.

Fuck Bill Clinton...

and those pricks in Bucharest.

This is my station.

Checkpoint.

You need custom papers.

Without them, you're not passing.

Enough said. Put them on track two.

Tell him to find out what the hell is going on right now.

What's going on here?

Check out what's happening.

Mister, what do you think you're doing?

You hang around here.

I'm going upstairs to take care of business.

Set a perimeter here.

Forrester, Horage, Winston, Turner.

Set a perimeter.

Secure the area.

Sarge, Sarge!

Hey, McLaren!

"Day One - The Train"

So...

So how long have you had your bags packed?

So had you got on that train, you would've gone to Craiova?

Pitesti?

Couldn't I have just as well asked Petre to take you there?

If only your mother were alive to see you today.

What, you think it's got nothing to do with that?

It has, damn it.

If she hadn't died when you were born,

she could've told you herself.

I don't even know how you could think of such a thing.

What, I don't take good care of you?

Everything you've got here in this room:

tape recorder, clothes, records, whims.

Who gave you those, damn it?

Sometimes when I look at you, I can swear it's her that I see.

Well, maybe that's just it.

You women are all alike.

I can understand why you'd want to leave

this shithole of a village.

Start studying!

Maybe next fall, you'll go to college in the city.

What the hell?

You're smart.

You're beautiful.

I'm going to end up alone anyway,

but that's just the way it is.

Shouldn't you be in school right now?

Yeah, I should.

I'll have Petre drop you off.

Fuckin' son of a bitch.

Fuck.

What are we gonna do, man?

Go home?

No way!

We're going to carry on with the strike.

Screw me.

We do that every day.

Okay, Mitroi.

Heard the news?

The Americans have come to our village.

The Americans are in our village.

They're at the railroad station.

- You mean right now? - Yeah.

Go see for yourselves.

Have you heard?

The Americans...

Yes, here, in our village.

The Americans...

I saw the Americans.

Does the mayor know about it?

Well, of course he does!

Yeah, that's Capalnita, sir, if you go to your map.

That's with a C.

Well, I got a stationmaster here on a rag

about some documentation.

It appears he's stopped me on a dead track here,

pulled my engine.

Well, whoever you got in Bucharest up there

with some authority,

let's get him on a frog right now

and get his ass down here.

I gotta keep these toys invisible.

I want it rectified by 1100.

Thank you for your cooperation, sir.

I appreciate that.

Thank you.

Did everybody see a new episode of "Esmeralda" last night?

Yes.

Okay.

Today we're going to study two verbs: quiero and trabajar.

Let's read out loud.

Come on.

"Quiero ir al teatro, pero no tengo tiempo".

Write down the translation.

"I want to go to the theater, but I don't have the time."

Who would like to conjugate trabajar?

So many of you?

You want me to call someone out?

Go ahead, Despina.

Trabajo, trabajas, trabaja, trabajamos,

trabajáis, trabajan.

Good.

Now, using the same inflection, let's try quiero.

Who wants to give it a go?

You.

Quiere...quiero...

No, no, no.

Neagu, you try.

"I yearn for the blossom of your breasts.

Your beauty makes me ache."

Stop!

Attention, everybody.

"Es" is the inflection for the second person, singular.

For the first person, we use the inflection "o."

Everybody look at the blackboard, please.

American soldiers in our village.

Young guys?

I don't know, but we gotta go take a look after class.

"Yo quiero" means "I love you."

Then we have: tú quieres, él/ella quiere,

nosotros queremos, vosotros queréis,

ellos/ellas quieren.

They say a train with Americans has arrived.

It means, "I want to dance."

Quiero irme a casa, "I want to go home."

And now, attention.

To say "I love you,"

add, like in Romanian, the pronoun "te."

As you know from the movies,

"Yo te quiero" means "I love you."

Don't forget to watch

the 395th episode of "Esmeralda"...

- Wait, I wanna tell you something.

Tonight.

So ladies, young ladies, and, well, the rest of you,

to celebrate the end of this boredom,

or, as the great scholar Gogu would call it, "the 12th grade,"

I'm inviting you all to a great party the day after tomorrow.

There are going to be chicks, booze,

cool music, all that stuff.

So everyone's invited to my uncle's in the city, everyone.

Listen, aren't you guys together anymore?

He was starting to piss me off,

going on and on with, "Baby, you're so fine."

That sort of crap.

None of them is good enough for you anymore, huh?

Hey!

Where's the boss?

Hello, Mayor.

Hello.

Where's the boss of the Americans?

Hello, guys.

Hello.

It's in uniform.

I wanna talk to their boss. I'm the mayor.

What's he saying?

He wants to talk with your captain.

The captain.

The captain, go.

Captain Jones!

What kind of material is this?

Well, I don't know the texture, but it feels good.

Yeah?

Oh, texture.

Yeah, texture.

You like it?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's nice.

You want one?

Yeah.

Welcome, welcome.

I am very happy.

Welcome in my village.

It's okay. It's okay.

I'll do the translating.

Tell the colonel that...

It's "captain."

Tell the captain that we're very happy to invite him

and the rest of the wonderful guests...

He's happy to invite you

and the rest of the wonderful guests...

To celebrate the anniversary

of our village tomorrow evening.

At the anniversary party of the village tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night?

Well, thank you.

We'll be long gone by then.

Tomorrow night, you told him?

Yeah, I told him.

Yes.

Welcome, welcome.

Very kind of you, sir.

Thank you.

That's very sweet.

Thank you.

Here he is.

Oh, hi.

Mr. Mayor.

Long time no see in these here parts.

Well, what can I do? I'm so damn busy.

You can see for yourself.

I gotta... the stuff I asked you about,

those sacks of cement, how's that going?

Oh, it's been taken care of.

I just need some guys to come by later on

to go pick up the sacks.

Praise the Lord. What's that I heard?

The radio guy said you wanted to buy the factory.

What's up with that?

My daughter's all grown up now.

She needs a nice dowry, you see?

Good for you.

If she and Paul are getting along, well...

let's get together one day, talk things over.

Listen up, we're having a meeting

at the village hall in an hour.

Yes, Mr. Mayor.

It's the village anniversary.

Wasn't that a month ago?

So what if it was?

Girl, that guy is so cute!

Now, who keeps texting you, girl?

Aw, girl!

He kind of looks like Ricky Martin, doesn't he?

Can you hear me?

Yeah.

You can.

Good afternoon.

Dear fellow villagers, as you well know,

or as you may have heard or seen,

a train carrying American soldiers

arrived in our village today.

Apparently, from what Mr. Doiaru has told me,

there are some paperwork issues in Bucharest.

None of our business, anyway.

So till the papers get sorted out,

it is our duty both as citizens and as good Christians,

as God-fearing people

to warmly welcome our guests from overseas.

As far as village affairs go,

the arrival of the Americans can only do us good,

because, if we get publicity,

we will draw new investors to our village.

Yeah, so Doiaru can rip them off too.

Not to mention that our guests are potential investors too.

We will welcome them into our pubs and our hotels.

And we'll all benefit from this.

I'm hereby announcing the anniversary

of our village's 100th year, tomorrow evening.

Didn't we do that, already?

I know we've done that already, but we're going to do it again.

There's going to be barbecue, beer,

everything it takes to make sure it comes out nice.

And he keeps staring at her.

So she's gulping down the food, and at some point the guy goes,

"Ma'am, you eat like a sow."

And she goes...

Yes, honey.

Okay, I'll call you back later.

Something important has come up.

- When did this come in? - Just now.

So what do they want from me?

Haven't got a clue.

Well, send it over to Defense.

See, it says here "urgent."

Okay.

And don't forget to call the NATO guys.

Yeah, yeah.

Tell them it's all going to be taken care of.

Okay.

It's not our problem.

It's for the Ministry of Transportation.

Yeah, we'll clear it up,

but I don't think it's going to make it there today.

But it'll be there tomorrow.

Yes, good day, sir.

Claudia, change the header so that I can sign it.

Quickly!

There's no more room!

Go, go.

"Day Two - The Village"

And that's the story

of the first black man I ever saw.

I was but a boy back then,

but I'll never forget how the simple countryman,

the Romanian peasant, welcomed this stranger warmly.

And we are all capable of such deeds, us Romanians.

Mr. Mayor, what happened with the black guy?

Well, you see, kids,

at first, people didn't even realize he was American,

because we know that black people live in Africa.

Only afterwards did we find out that America's full of blacks.

But in those days,

people didn't fear differences in appearance, so to speak.

They offered the poor man shelter for two weeks

until we chased the Germans away.

But, meanwhile, the poor guy died,

because he was badly injured,

and we didn't know how to cure him.

Okay.

Now let's talk a bit about the history of the USA,

or, for short, America,

or, even shorter, the USA.

The country's capital is located in Washington.

But that's not the largest city, you know.

The largest cities are Los Angeles and New York,

and so on.

The country is made up of states,

such as Texas, California.

Anyway, just like our country is made up of counties

such as Ilfov, Ialomita, Vaslui, Bacau, and so on.

The country's economy relies on...

Seduction.

It's all about seduction.

Sure, it also depends on what you wear.

A short skirt and a big cleavage

will always draw all eyes to you.

That's where intelligence comes in,

namely, your demeanor.

My advice is that you be...

Open, but without giving in to their first offer.

This is the time for us to speak up without fear,

to tell them what we really want and who we are.

That's right.

I want us to hold a civilized protest tonight

at the mayor's party.

Now, you're all going to bring banners.

We're going to write down clearly what we want.

That is, "Give us our money,"

"You thieves," "We want to work!"

"We're hungry," and so on.

Good morning, dear listeners of this wonderful community.

To honor the event that all of you

have certainly heard about,

we're kicking off a program of musical bonding, so to speak,

with Romanian music and sweet American songs for the soul,

meant to bring us a bit of warmth,

not that it's not hot enough.

What I mean is the warmth in our hearts and souls.

Right.

On the other hand, a well-informed citizen

was kind enough to inform us this whole village anniversary,

which is actually made up,

is closely connected to our mayor's wish

to raise some money for the local budget.

They say that the budget has been depleted

of some massive sums.

Moving on, I have here a list of musical requests.

I will begin reading them now.

Mihai.

Monica.

I noticed you like Monica.

You don't stand a chance, for sure.

She's only gone steady with the coolest guys around.

She got bored of them all.

She was with Alex, the metal-head.

He was one of them angry rockers.

Then Mihai, the guy who graduated last year,

my sister's crush.

Anyway, he went off to college in Bucharest.

The end.

She dumped that guy ages ago.

And yesterday she cut Paul loose.

Come on, you pick him.

I'm not picking that geek.

We reshuffle the teams, and I'll pick him, man.

Dude, check out your team.

You take him.

Andrei, move it.

You're on his team.

We're taking the other one, okay?

Come on, you've got a killer team.

Move it!

Come on, pass it!

You passed it to this dweeb?

He can't even move his feet!

And he's playing in his PJs too!

Come on, girls! Put everywhere!

Yo, Mihai!

Get it over with those lights, already, will you?

Well, those lights...

Don't touch!

Leave them like this!

Bless you.

Doiaru, you should really take something for your allergy.

Dear Vasile, I've got something I want to ask of you.

Anything, Mr. Doiaru.

I've got it covered. Go ahead.

Well, there's this gang of gypsies.

They really get my goat.

Every day they're out stealing from freight trains,

there, by the turn.

You could have your men guard them.

They get so bored anyway. I got it.

Listen, Doiaru, we've known each other for ages.

What's with these Americans?

I'm not saying it's a bad thing,

but the mayor is out throwing parties and all...

Well, if they don't have the papers,

what am I supposed to do about it?

Just because they're American they think they can outsmart us?

Like we're Romanians, so we're all morons, or what?

They have to obey the law.

Hey, Stelica, watch it.

Boss, boss.

What's up?

This is 1-7.

I know, man. Go ahead.

Hold on, it's for me. Go ahead! What's up?

The mayor is calling you over to put up road blocks.

Come on, man, I started the barbecue.

- You comin'? - Of course I am.

Hello.

I'll see you at the party.

Vasile, you're not gonna forget

about that thing we discussed, okay?

Of course not. Didn't I tell you already?

Yes?

He wants to know if those customs papers have arrived.

No, nothing's come in.

I'm breaking regulations here, sir,

but if there's anything I can do to compensate you financially,

I'd be happy to arrange it.

What, you're offering money?

I have a deadline to meet.

Now, I can pay you out in U.S. currency,

and we can just facilitate my departure.

How much?

I can pay you $2,000 U.S., sir.

Tell the man I don't take bribes.

What, you think if we're in Romania,

you can buy us out just like that?

Third-world country, right?

What's he saying?

He don't want to take your money.

I really think one phone call

on behalf of your own Ministry of Transport, sir,

that's not breaking the law.

- No. - No.

I don't call nobody.

It's not my job. Sorry.

Whose job is it, sir?

Well, not my job.

Sorry.

Let's get headquarters on the line here.

It's... well, I think it's here.

So we're stuck in a fold of the map

in the middle of Romania?

I mean, how much more stuck can stuck be than this?

I beg your pardon, Corporal?

Sir, I think the men would like your permission

to attend the mayor's party.

All right, set a perimeter here as you see fit.

Make it a 360.

Dismissed!

Thank you, sir.

Hey, Sergeant.

Sit down here.

You have...

Belt, I'll fix it for you.

Sit down.

You only know that I delegate responsibility

so you can achieve authority.

Correct?

I appreciate that, sir.

What would you do right now...

in my position?

I think it would be a positive gesture

under the circumstances

if you attended the party as well.

So you don't think I should put my chevrons back on

and maybe fire a shot over the bow here?

Shit, no.

Sir, I...we have to use diplomacy, sir.

We have to?

You're the C.O., sir.

Of course.

Have fun.

Thank you, sir.

Yo, Marin, you're so snazzy, girl!

Hey, suck my dick.

Yes.

I came to take the Americans to the party.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Hold on, I'll go tell them.

Good evening! Please, Captain.

Please, please.

It's my wife, my wife, Ana.

Welcome, welcome, welcome.

Sit down.

He's Father Nicolae.

My deputy!

Soda, Mayor?

Oh, give me a break!

Where are you?

Here you go, come on.

Leave me alone.

- Mr. Mayor, God bless you. - God bless.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,

honorable community officials, dear fellow villagers.

I have the utmost pleasure and honor

to bid you all welcome to the anniversary of our village.

This year, we are privileged to have among us

a few distinguished guests from abroad,

who have come all the way

from the United States of America!

Welcome, welcome!

This being said, let's have some Romanian fun!

Change the station already.

I've had enough of this asshole.

You tell me, how can anyone not hate these Americans?

Hello.

Yes.

No, I can't hear you.

Hello?

I can't hear you.

Speak up, please!

Yes, hello.

Who's there?

Yes, yes, hello, Minister.

Yes, yes, hello, Minister.

Yes, they're right here with us.

We're at a party.

Yes, yes.

No.

That's not up to me, sir.

Well, see,

the station is administered by the Romanian Railway Company.

And the man in charge of the station is Mr. Doiaru.

Yes, but I promise you that I'll make sure

their stay here will be hassle-free.

Good-bye!

I just got a call from the Minister.

Good evening!

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

It is my great pleasure to introduce to you

the instrumental music group, Band of the Universe.

Together with yours truly, Nicky Priceless,

the ambassador of traditional music,

we're inviting you to dance.

It's one for the money

Two for the show

Three to get ready

Now, go, cat, go

Don't you step on my blue suede shoes

You can do anything

But lay off my blue suede shoes

Well, knock me down

Step on my face

Slander my name all over the place

Do anything that you want to do

But uh-uh, honey, lay off my shoes

Don't you step on my gypsy shoes

Well, you can do anything

But lay off of my blue suede shoes

Blue, blue, blue suede shoes

Blue, blue, blue, blue suede shoes

Blue, blue, blue, blue suede shoes

Well, you can do anything

Blue, blue, blue, blue suede shoes

Blue, blue, blue, blue suede shoes

Blue, blue, blue, blue suede shoes

Blue, blue, blue, blue suede shoes

The next song is dedicated to all the lovers,

for the beautiful lovers, who really love.

But especially to Stana.

She knows why.

I love you, princess!

Love me tender

Love me sweet

Never let me go

You have made my life complete

And I love you so

Love me tender

Love me true

All my dreams fulfilled

For, my darling, I love you

And I always will

Love me tender

Love me true

Excuse me, you dance?

You dance?

Yes, of course.

Love me tender

Come.

Love me long

Take me to your heart

You go ahead and translate for the gentleman.

I'm very glad you're here

and that you've joined this party of ours,

the humble servants of God.

Thank you.

We are very, very happy that you are here in our village,

and we are very happy that you are at this party.

Thank you.

This party is for you.

Thank you.

By the way, what's your hometown?

What city in America?

Where are you from, from America?

What town?

Right now, Bend.

Bend, Oregon.

I realized we've got the opportunity

to twin our villages.

I mean, our towns, I mean, our communities,

to become twins.

The mayor thinks that it will be good that your town, Bent,

and our town, Capalnita,

Capalnita and Bent, brothers, twins.

Capalnita and Bend, twin towns.

Twin towns, brothers.

Yes, yes.

Does he understand that we're here...

we're trying to stop the bombing in Serbia?

Love me tender

Love me true

All my dreams fulfilled

For, my darling, I love you

And I always will

The train that I have here...

Yes, the train!

It's carrying equipment,

strategic communications equipment for NATO.

Do you know NATO?

No.

NATO, NATO.

We could save lives.

I think he's got other business to take care of.

That's what he means.

I want to continue this conversation, okay?

I'm gonna be back, all right?

He's going to be back.

But I thank you.

Thank you for having me.

Thank you, okay?

We're gonna continue to talk, okay?

All my dreams fulfilled

For, my darling, I love you

And I always will

Love me tender

Love me true

All my dreams fulfilled

For, my darling, I love you

And I always will

Love me tender

What's your name?

Yes.

So you don't speak any English, right?

Español?

- Español, really? - Español, yeah.

- You speak Spanish? - Si.

Rodriguez speaks Spanish.

Roddy!

Love me tender

Love me true

All my dreams fulfilled

B from Bogdan!

Jackpot, B from Bogdan!

"As long as your bed is warm, your dish may as well be cold."

Hello?

Hello.

I could use your help.

Come in.

Thanks.

Sit down.

No, thanks.

Hey, this is a genuine import.

Do you like cigars?

Want eat?

What?

Want eat?

Want it?

Want eat?

Eat? No, no, no.

Go ahead.

Cheers.

Sa-na-ta-te.

Cheers.

Whoa.

There you go.

Nice, huh?

Now, tell me.

What?

What's wrong with Bill Clinton?

Letting Monica suck his dick in the White House.

Come on, this is stupid.

I know what you mean.

Excuse me.

And you go to bomb people for Bill Clinton?

Yes.

That's him on the phone.

Dear sir, I can't break the law.

The law is crystal clear.

I have to check the papers for every train.

In this case, the customs documents are required.

For instance, how do I know they're not carrying

drugs or something, God forbid?

Sure, I'll take your word for it,

but the law is clear.

I have to check the papers for every train.

In this case...

But why are you asking me to break the law?

Are you gonna sign me a paper

so I can let them go without documents?

It's about your papers.

Do you have my fax number?

I'll give it to you.

When you have the papers, send them right away.

I don't know how to speak to you.

Okay, say something in Romanian.

Romania?

Romania.

Say something...

say something Romanian.

What about Romania?

- Hello! - Hello!

- I'm Maria. - Hello, Maria.

Nice to meet you. How are you?

I am good. How are you?

Very good.

It's good to meet you.

You speak English, for one thing.

Yes, I learned in school a little bit.

- Really? - Yeah, yeah.

Where did you go to school?

Here, here, in the village.

Oh, really? Oh, then they...

well, that's good to find out.

Okay, well, it was nice...

- Bye. - Bye.

I'll be waiting for the papers.

Good-bye.

So?

They'll send the documents?

Yes, I think.

You think?

So why, Mr. Jones...

Captain.

I'm a captain.

- I'm sorry. - That's all right.

Captain Jones.

So why did they send you with this train?

Classified information, sir.

I know what's on the train.

It's radar to spy on the Serbs.

But why did they send you?

I'm in military intelligence, sir.

It's called communications.

Communications.

Telephones and things?

Well, I think we're little more sophisticated than telephones.

But you are not a real soldier?

No, I am a real solider.

Oh.

Okay.

You know, I understand you got to show who's boss around here.

That's okay with me.

I just got a train I got to keep moving, you know.

And I think we waited now.

I think we've waited long enough.

You know what, Jones?

I wait for the Americans to come much time

to save us from Germans, Russians, Communists,

Ceausescu.

It's funny that you come here, finally.

Better later than never.

Yeah.

My friend, it's simple.

Papers, Americans go.

No papers, Americans don't go.

Understood.

Mr. Mayor!

Yes.

Unfortunately, the firecrackers aren't going to get here.

Shit!

What does that say?

What does the sign say?

It say, "Welcome."

"Welcome."

Thank you, thank you.

There was no need for you to cause a riot tonight.

The people are protesting peacefully, Mayor.

Andrei!

Andrei, where are you?

Go ahead and translate the signs.

"We are starving."

The food and the drinks are free only tonight.

Come on, sit down, and eat.

Come, sit!

Somebody get me some wine over here.

Come on!

Come, mister.

No, there's no problem.

Everything is okay.

Bring some wine over here!

Stop killing each other over nothing!

There's Doiaru, who's driven us bankrupt!

It's all his fault!

We're killing each other over nothing, people!

There's Doiaru, who's making us go bankrupt!

Man, my dad was the only one missing from this picture

with his bitter mug,

looking like he's the king of all morons.

Wow, he's so cute!

I'm such a sissy!

The first time he stuck his tongue in my mouth,

I started shaking.

Good thing he didn't stick anything else in there.

Man, school sucks big time.

They're making us learn Spanish with that cow

instead of English.

Who the hell learns Spanish these days?

El guapito que te ponga la lingua en la boca.

For once I meet a nice guy, not a redneck,

and I can't talk to him.

Did you see the way the mayor's brat butted in?

Did you see her?

What can I say to him? Nothing!

What can I tell an American?

You know who speaks English?

Who?

Andrei, that guy in our class.

Andrei, Doiaru's daughter is here to see you.

Can I come in?

Hello.

Tidy up a bit, will you?

It's okay.

Cool room.

Did you arrange it yourself?

Listen, Despina told me about your English lessons.

Is that true?

Yeah.

Actually, I had one with Mr. Nicoara this very afternoon.

He used to teach at our high school,

but now he's retired.

I'll give you his number.

No, no, no, no.

That's not what I meant.

I was thinking maybe you can help me out with something.

Cool, I've got one of these too.

And if the Russians get here, what are we gonna do?

What if the Americans get here first?

I hope we'll manage to keep this factory.

What was I supposed to do?

If I hadn't worked for the Germans,

I would've lost it three years ago.

I'm telling you, the Americans will be here today or tomorrow.

What are you doing? Eavesdropping on us?

"Day Three - Monica and David"

No glass for me, thank you.

Just the straw.

So...

What's your name?

Monica.

What's yours?

I'm David.

How old are you?

18.

You tell him I'm 18.

She says she's 18, but she's not yet.

All right.

What do you do in life?

Do you have a job, go to school?

Yes, we both are colleagues in the same high school.

Last year.

What's he saying?

He asked what you do,

and I told him we're classmates.

And what does he do?

Isn't it obvious?

So what? Ask him anyway.

What do you do?

I mean, how come you're in the Army?

Marines.

It's a long story.

It's kind of a long story.

But I'm hoping to get back to the States pretty soon.

He says he can't wait to go back to the States.

Ask him if he's got a girlfriend.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Tell her she's cute.

He's got more than one.

I think you are very, very cute,

and...

I would like to kiss you.

He wants to know what kind of music you listen to.

I don't have a favorite type.

I mean, I like a lot of genres.

She doesn't like compliments.

Hi, Sarge!

Listen, you know what?

Ask him if he wants to come to the party with us tonight,

go to the city with us.

Right, so you've hooked up with Doiaru's girl?

No, Dad.

Listen, you leave her alone, okay?

She's out of your league.

Hey, cut the water!

You need to study for college, okay?

Did you decide what it'll be?

Gimme water.

Not yet.

Sweetie, didn't you say you'd go to the polytechnic?

Catrina, go on over to the cellar

and check for some plum brandy.

We're out of plum brandy.

You go check it anyway.

That'll do.

You listen to me good.

Your mom and I have been working

like slaves to keep you in school,

pay for your tutoring.

Now, we're gonna keep working to put you through college too.

Nae!

Come on!

Get inside!

Take him inside!

They broke the window.

Fucking pricks.

You look at me.

Once you get to Bucharest...

Come on, get inside!

The system's to be delivered to avoid casualties, sir.

70 hours have passed here. Now, I'll tell you what you do.

You tally whatever these last 70 hours cost,

and you include in that price

the legal bill they're gonna slap on the DIA,

'cause some jerks, they pissed in an oil field

and hit a fucking shopping mall.

'Cause I'm the grunt on the ground here

being held accountable, you understand?

Are we understood?

What's going on there, sir?

Nothing.

I'm getting my engine back.

Sir!

You're gonna get my engine back, Captain Jack!

Sir, sir, Captain Jones!

They said to use diplomacy, sir.

Who's "they"?

Sir...

Are you sent to keep a fucking eye on me?

Of course not.

You get yourself a red pencil, kid, get back to Georgetown.

That's where you're from, isn't it?

Now, you stay out of my face, or I'm gonna rip yours off.

If I catch you coming back,

I'll break your legs myself, you hear?

You're going off to see that American.

You see, Dorel, if you don't let me go to them,

they come to me.

I told you not to call me that.

I go get the Americans.

Stop the engine. It's eating up gas.

I want to come with you in America.

Yeah, baby, yeah. I take you with me.

You promise?

Yes, I promise.

I've come to pick up the American gentlemen...

May I help you?

I've come to pick up the American gentlemen,

take them on a trip.

We've prepared something special, traditional stuff.

I came to take the Americans to party.

Uh-huh.

Here you go.

Come, come.

Tour Eiffel, Paris!

Paris.

Whoa.

How big is that thing?

Can you believe how big it is?

Are we in Paris or something?

And now, we're going to the hotel.

We have something special for you.

Come, come!

It is not possible!

Come, come!

After.

We can do this?

They want to go all the way up to the top.

They'll do that later.

Yes, later.

Let me introduce you.

Captain Jones.

The owner...

this hotel.

Please, please.

Come on, girls. Nice and pretty.

Come!

Mr. J.R., hi, nice to meet you.

And I don't know if you know, but I shot J.R.

Oh, girls.

Nice.

Come on, come on.

How come I don't have anyone?

Oh, oh, oh.

Come on, come on, come on.

Hi, hi.

How are you?

What are you guys up to?

You've hooked up?

Of course!

You're beautiful as always.

You sweet talker.

Yes, I understand.

I promise you that everyone here, including myself,

are doing all we can to solve this problem.

Okay.

Yes.

Good-bye.

Thank you.

Despina?

Despina?

What happened?

I broke up with that jackass.

All he wanted was to fuck.

He wanted to take advantage of me,

like all men do.

You're just a bunch of pigs and sex freaks.

I was really in love with him.

And I thought he was in love with me too.

I was an idiot all along.

Why don't I get text messages like Monica saying,

"You're everything I want"?

I'm stupid and ugly.

Oh, come on, you're not ugly.

Yeah.

You're a nice guy, aren't you?

I mean, you would want more from me than one night, right?

Yo, Americano!

What are you doing in here?

I got to fuck her before you did,

just you so you know.

I fucked everyone in the village.

Now get out. I need the bed too.

Come on, scram.

Fuck you, you idiot.

Get the fuck out, you hear?

You fucking wanker!

Yo, the police are here.

No shit!

Wait!

Hey, we're leaving.

Yeah, I'm coming. I'm coming.

Let's get the fuck out of here.

Okay, just...I'm coming!

Come on!

Close the door!

Just a second.

Hey, that looks good on you.

One moment, one moment.

One moment.

And now, if I may, tonight's great surprise.

The extraordinary ballet and dance show,

The Mystery of Dracula.

Welcome to my house!

I'm ready for all of you in here,

for I'm sure that we must interest you.

Draculesti have the right to be proud,

because in their veins flows the blood of many great races,

who fought as I fight, for lordships.

Boys, I have a great surprise for you.

The girls from Transylvania.

Transylvania!

Girls, please.

Thank you very much.

No, thanks.

No, thank you very much.

Hey, hey!

- I'm talking to you. - What?

How much longer do I have to I wait?

I don't know, sir. Sorry.

Hello.

Hold up! Hang on!

Hang on!

A projectile dating back to World War Il exploded tonight

in the basement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

without causing any human or material losses, but only panic,

especially because the explosion followed

a massive power blackout.

This was caused by a short circuit of unknown origin.

The population was very frightened,

as they believed they were dealing

with an American Tomahawk air missile

which had missed its target, Yugoslavia, and landed here.

A similar accident occurred last week in Sofia.

What was that?

You totally suck at shooting pool.

Check this out.

Come on! It's my turn.

Check out dickhead over there.

You know this guy? Didn't you see he left the show?

- This guy? - Yeah.

He was there for the show?

He was there, but he took off.

Is that so?

You, there?

Yo! Yo, you deaf, wise guy?

Who is this guy? Where's he from?

Come on! Show me what you got.

Where you from, dude?

I was killing out there, pulling out lines and stuff,

trying to learn some English.

And he was just standing there.

You don't like women?

Yo, dweeb!

You saw the hot chicks I had?

Like I don't know your girls.

What you gonna do about it?

Where's this guy from, anyway?

I think he's a faggot.

Yo, fag!

Where you from?

Let's brawl it out, if you think you're so cool.

Come here! Come on.

Shoot some pool, wham-bam.

Bring it on.

Why you sitting there laughing?

What's so funny?

You've got ten seconds to pull it in, son.

The girl of local ballet opera.

I can help you.

You want to go?

Hi.

Hello.

It's fine in Romania?

You have food?

Okay.

Is him?

Thanks.

Doiaru, sir.

Staniloiu.

Secretary of State with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Nice to meet you.

Come on, let's settle this already.

Did you have any trouble finding your way over here?

It's far away.

It's like we're not even in the same country.

I got a bit lost after Urziceni, but I pulled through eventually.

That's yours, right?

Yeah, she's my wife.

She keeps thinking I go off

on field trips with my mistresses,

so I took her along to prove her wrong.

I meant the car.

Nice car.

Powerful too.

It is.

Over here?

Coffee?

No, thank you.

I had, like, three on my way here, last night.

I'll say it again: smashin' car.

Real smashin'.

- Mister... - Doiaru.

Mr. Doiaru, Here's what I came here for.

Did you bring me the customs papers?

Well, no.

I came here to solve this problem.

What problem? There's no problem.

Hand me the customs papers, and that'll be the end of that.

Mr. Doiaru, the Prime Minister authorized to clear this train.

All right, but did you bring the customs papers?

Your authorization means nothing to me.

You know, the law's the law.

I assure you that the Prime Minister

personally sent me here to expedite the train's departure.

No need for customs papers.

If you don't cooperate, we're going to replace you.

Let me tell you one thing.

I'm going to retire soon.

You think such cheap threats scare me?

Let me explain one thing: this isn't Bucharest.

How do you think you're going to fire me?

Will you come over and fill my position?

What will you do to me?

Well, we're going to have him replace you.

Who, me?

I'm not the kind of guy for this job.

There you have it. He won't take it.

Mr. Doiaru, we did a bit of research

and found out you filed a request

to obtain the local factory.

We can arrange that you do get the factory.

Let's put it all behind.

Come on, everybody has to win if this train leaves tomorrow.

Until I see the custom papers, this train isn't going anywhere.

Clinton himself can come down here.

Go woo your women in your fucking country!

No one's leaving!

Not you, not the Americans, no one!

You're all staying here with me!

You don't get it! You just don't get it!

You never will, bastard!

Go on, hit me! Hit me!

Go on, hit me! Fucking asshole!

Get back to your posts! Get back to your posts!

Return to your posts.

Get back to your posts!

Things are not going to be left hanging like this.

You're going to have to deal with the consequences.

I'll be back.

You think we here in the village love Doiaru?

Do you think that they here in the village love Doiaru?

Let me tell you something.

He wants to tell you something.

We just need someone to give us a hand,

one guy, anyone, to get rid of this bastard.

We only need...

they only need some help,

someone to help them get rid of this...

The state this village is in, it's all his fault.

The state that the village is in is all Doiaru fault.

That's it.

We...they are scared.

Who's got the guts to fight him?

Who has the guts to stand against him?

Others tried, too, and they got their faces pounded in.

Others has tried, but they failed.

The police is on his side.

The police is with Doiaru.

There is nothing to do.

But I was thinking just now that since you're here,

you can help us do something.

Now that you are here, maybe you can give them a hand.

Don't be scared.

Before we return, the Americans will be here.

Come on.

Let's go, already.

Let go of him!

Come on.

"Day Four - Doiaru and Jones"

My dad's told me this story 1,000 times since I was little.

Her father told her this story 1,000 times before

when she was little.

As if he knew that was going to be

the last time he saw his parents.

He said that he knew on that day that it was the last time

he would see his parents.

Anyway, they had arrested them,

because their factory had taken some orders from the Germans.

They took them because they have a factory

which made some things for the Nazis.

The Russians got here,

and my father never saw his father again,

my grandma either.

The Russians came, so from that day,

her father never saw her grandmother

and her grandfather again.

The communists kept them in prison

because they had that factory.

The Russians kept them in jail because they had that factory.

And that's why my father is so desperate

to keep me next to him,

so that he wouldn't end up alone.

That's why her father is so desperate

that she doesn't leave him.

Oh, and my father was brought up by one of his uncles

here in the countryside.

Her father was raised by his uncle here in the countryside.

And the Americans never got here until the day before yesterday.

The Americans never came for here

till the day before yesterday.

That's just the way it is.

Sarge!

Anyway, that's all.

I got to go.

Sir.

Get your cammies back on.

Give these Romanian boys a break.

Go into perimeter.

Okay.

What exactly you want me to do?

Teach me English.

Oh, yeah?

And why would I do that?

Because I'm asking you.

I want to leave this place.

You think the American

is going to take you along with him to L.A.

and have kids?

No American will take me along.

I just want to get out of here

as far away as I can.

So will you teach me?

Come on, sit down.

This happens.

Can't put yourself in front of love.

This is between me and my daughter.

So you cook, huh?

Yes.

You want we eat?

No.

No?

It smells real good.

What is that?

Sarmale, Romanian food, traditional.

Want to help?

No.

What are you doing?

I do it. I do it.

I do it.

You look like my mother-in-law.

Yeah.

I must look real stupid.

No.

You look like my mother-in-law.

Mother-in-law.

This belonged to my wife.

Where is she?

She's dead.

She died a long time.

Sorry to hear that.

How about you?

Are you married?

Nope, not anymore.

Yo!

Let's play!

Who's this guy?

I don't know.

Tell me again what I say when I introduce myself.

What?

What exactly do you want to know?

I don't know.

"My name is Andrei.

"I'm this old.

I like to do this."

"Hello, my name is Andrei."

Hold on.

- Hello. - Hello.

My name is Andrei.

My name is Monica.

I am 17.

Yes.

And I want to kiss you.

I'm Andrei, and I want to kiss you.

I'm Monica and...

Yes!

I love you.

No shit?

I've been in love with you for two years.

You wouldn't know,

'cause I'm no American soldier or the coolest guy in town.

And, by the way, those text messages were from me.

Raise your arm.

No, wait.

This one.

Raise this arm.

This.

Cheers.

Sanatate, right?

So how come you speak English?

I told you.

I was waiting for you.

Wow.

Is that just pork, or is that beef mixed in with that?

It's pork.

That's just pork.

Pork.

And it's very fat.

Anyway, you put...

you put ham.

Smoked ham.

- Smoked ham. - Smoked ham.

You put onion, rice, salt and pepper.

And you...

Stir.

You stir.

No, no, no, no.

You do...

Mix, mince.

You mince the meat, and you get a paste.

Nice.

That's probably what those people in Yugoslavia look like

after you bomb them.

Where were we?

Hey, you!

I want to see that mayor.

Now?

Can you arrange that?

Now?

Pronto.

All right.

Back, back, back, back.

Here!

Oh, no!

Back, back, back, back.

You let the ball go.

I'm here.

Got it!

Mr. Mayor, you have the floor.

Quiet!

Quiet, folks!

Folks, keep quiet.

I want to tell you...

Where's the beer?

Hold on with that beer.

I want to tell you that you all have a problem.

I mean, we all have a problem.

And it's called Doiaru.

Quiet!

About that, I want to announce to you

that I've invited Mr. Jones,

the captain of the Americans stationed in our village.

He wants to tell you a couple of things.

Quiet!

Quiet! Listen close.

This is important.

Mr. Jones, please.

Okay.

People of Capalnita...

I want to thank you for your hospitality

and your generosity.

He wants to thank you for your hospitality

and your generosity.

You shared your food.

You shared your... You shared your food.

What greater respect?

He respects you a lot.

What greater respect is there than that?

You know, I'm...

I'm looking at this place.

He's looking.

He's thinking of this place.

It's paradise.

It's paradise.

You know, and I'm thinking...

but I'm with your mayor here.

I feel like a shadow has been cast over this place.

You know, a shadow.

Like a cloud.

There's like a cloud above Capalnita.

Doiaru has no respect for you.

You don't deserve to be treated that way.

And I just...you know, yeah, I'm just thinking this...

how do they pronounce his name?

Doiaru.

This Doiaru, right, Doiaru.

That's just disrespect.

He has no respect.

It's disrespect.

That's all it is.

That's it.

It's disrespect.

And no one deserves it.

No one deserves that.

No one deserves it!

No one!

I'm just looking at all these faces here,

races and religions

and belief systems and attitudes.

I mean, that's what it's about!

It's about attitude!

That's why God put us here!

That's why God brought us here!

That's what it's supposed to be, right?

As God intended us to be, to be who we are.

That's what God intended us to be!

Just to be who we are.

I mean, I may look like a total fool up here,

but I want tell you something.

We may look like strangers here, okay?

We may look like strangers...

I want to show you something. You see this?

We're standing here now.

Goddamn it, we're standing here as one.

United as one!

What if all of us, right now,

would stand up right now and be united as one?

Everybody here, let's be united!

United as one!

I'll tell you what.

We could defeat the repression, okay?

We could defeat the tyranny.

We will defeat the tyranny.

We can defeat the Doiarus of this world.

Right, defeat the disrespect, the disrespect,

and be united as God intended us to be,

as God intended us to be!

United as one!

United!

United, united, united!

God bless Capalnita!

God bless Romania!

God bless the U.S. of A.!

United, united, united!

We can defeat oppression.

We can defeat the Doiarus of the world.

We can defeat the tyranny!

United, united, united!

Yes, but there's one other problem.

He says there might be a problem.

Doiaru's hand in hand with Vasile,

the chief of police, the cop.

Boys, keep it down!

I'm talking to this gentleman here.

Please.

Doiaru is related to Vasile, the chief of police.

And if they use their weapons, we're history.

I understand, I understand, I understand.

You understand we can only fire if we're fired upon?

You understand that?

They are not allowed to use guns unless the other guys open fire.

If his police fires as much as one round, one round,

we're your first line of defense.

You have my word.

One round.

In the meantime, just wait it out.

For the moment, let's calm down.

Let it be he who casts the first stone.

Let him throw the first stone, that's it.

Just bring sticks, you know?

Sticks and stones can break my bones.

Names will never hurt me.

That's some phrase they use.

Sticks and stones...

And then...

Mother Goose.

The goose mother.

I'm telling you,

if Doiaru's cops shoot first, we'll protect you.

For real!

You bring your bats and stuff, and the rest is...

I think we should bring Doiaru here first.

Hold on, I have a plan.

He has a combination.

He call.

Don't you worry about a thing.

All the customs papers are there.

Transportation documents, licenses, everything you need.

At your service.

Sir...no.

So I'd appreciate it if this train

leaves first thing in the morning.

This is the representative of the Railway Company.

He has to make sure that you are dismissed.

My enemies hate me.

My enemies hate me, but they don't have my success.

And they won't be like me, not in their lifetime.

My enemies hate me, but they don't have my success.

And they won't be like me, not in their lifetime.

Hello!

Yeah!

This time I want fireworks!

Fireworks!

Lots of them!

We're gonna have fireworks!

United, united, united!

Hey.

Hey, it's me.

It's me.

I'm...

happy to hear your voice.

I'm in Romania.

You first.

"Day Five - The Last One"

So pay attention.

All the leaves are brown.

And the sky is gray.

The sky is gray.

If I've been for a valk...

Walk.

I've been for a walk.

The W is...

Walk...

on a winter's day.

I'd be safe and warm...

if I was in L.A.

California dreaming...

Doiaru will come from the right.

You guys stay on the barricades.

You don't step in until I signal you to!

On such a winter's day.

Yes.

Listen, you don't suck as much as I thought.

Boss, the villagers just caught the gypsies

who stole from the trains.

They just called me from the mayor's office.

Call in all the boys.

We're gonna tear their sorry asses to pieces.

And tell Vasile to bring in the cops too.

Listen, I want to tell you something.

Not now, I'm in a hurry.

Come on, it's important.

It has to wait till I get back.

You won't find me here anymore.

I want to go to college in Bucharest.

It's leaving in five minutes.

We come with you!

Yes, take us!

Yes, go to America!

Where the hell do you want to go?

I'm going to Turnu Severin,

and in two days, I'm back in Constanta.

Monica.

I want your phone number.

Phone.

They're coming.

Vasile, call your men.

Got it.

Yo, do you copy?

Listen up, okay?

What, you've had too much of a good thing?

You want a fight or what?

Don't make me, or I'll cut your balls off, all of you!

Thieves!

Somebody call in those Americans.

Come on, who wants to have his balls smashed first?

On behalf of NATO, I thank you, sir.

Damn good work.

Come on!

It's your dad!

They started fighting!

They started fighting. Come on!

No, no.

No!

Dad, no!

Whoa, whoa!

Harper! Did you see that?

Oh, yeah.

"The radar became functional at 1830, on June 9, 1999.

"Only two hours before that,

"NATO had announced the signing of a peace treaty

"with the Serbian armed forces in Kosovo,

"which put a final end to the bombing

and the military conflict."

"Bucharest 2004"

- Hey. - Hey.

Have a seat.

Sorry I'm late.

How are the little peaches?

Peachy?

What will it be?

A Coke, please.

So how's college?

Great.

You?

Yeah.

Yeah, what?

It's good.

I've got this one stupid failed exam I need to re-sit.

Really?

Really.

You?

Yes.

I've got 15 minutes left till my next class and...

Okay.

Let's go, then.

Thanks, but we're leaving.
