Fuck that....

ROMANIA - 1990 MONTHS AFTER THE FALL OF CEAUȘESCU

It’s off again and it caught me with the cage open.

Give me the flashlight, perhaps I can still catch them.

Is it you or is it us?

Come on...

Grab it from here and help me.

Turn on the damn light, or else I'll fuck you up!

-What the fuck did they do? -They’re not in their right minds!

They didn’t pay the electric bill, idiots!

Stupid motherfuckers!

-Did you find them, Shorty? -No.

One of them is there.

Panduru! Stoian!

-Where the fuck are you? -Did you find them?

They are never here when you need them.

-Be careful! -Lower me down easily, please.

Come on, two of the plates are already broken.

I told you to get plastic plates, you stupid moron.

-There are splinters on the floor! -What the fuck?

How does one turn off the light during the main rehearsal?

Has anyone seen Cecilia?

Where is he, damn idiot? He said he’ll get money.

I nearly died and I was innocent.

Akiro, put the damn light here to gather his splinters.

Go and lift the tarpaulin to let the light in.

Hello!

Hello, Mrs. Cici!

I don’t know, it’s his business, he should do whatever he wants to,

as long as we get our salaries, because I’ve had it.

He may sell whatever he wants, his mother and father...

Whoever he wants in order to fix this... that’s what he promised.

He said he’ll finish it with the construction site, that....

He’s doing his best. He’s not lazing around all day.

He’s running, struggling... He can’t do everything himself.

He said we were going to go around the country....

Cut the bullshit!

He was supposed to start after the premiere.

Let us do the show properly. Not in the tent, on the heat.

That’s all I’ve been hearing since he got here.

That’s why I said that one of us should be the manager.

What was wrong with Mr. Marinescu? What, wasn’t he good?

What if he was a party secretary?

During his time, we got our money.

Do you know that?

Forget it, if this tour will work, we’ll solve them all.

Here, Old man, have some! Here! Come on, don’t give up!

Come on! Cici will bring you nice blackberries, the ones you love!

Come on, Old man!

What are you feeding him there, Cecilia? Bread? Don’t you know he doesn’t like it?

Bread with honey. I know better. He ate it yesterday.

Here! Here!

Mrs. Cici, be careful,

the beast is still a beast. He may bite you, ma'am.

Come on, Mr. Stoian, you don’t know.

I have known him ever since 20 years ago, since Aurel took him.

He took him and left me. That’s why he’s alone.

But now, the Old man is leaving him, too...

Mr. Stoian, you’re not good with animals. You’re new in the circus.

Don’t start again, Cecilia, alright?

Did you forget when that guy made you disappear in that box

and three days you were away from home?

Well, if you didn’t marry me then, when I was young.

-Because I was like a flower, Mr. Stoian. -Like a flower, my foot.

A week with me, a week with him.

He’s better cut you in two in that box and you wouldn’t go from one to another.

Why are you laughing?

Thank you.... And now, an act of fire juggling.

Meeting at Panduru! He found money for salaries.

Now! Meeting at Panduru!

Didn’t I tell you he was going to find money for salaries?

Meeting at Panduru! Now! Meeting at Panduru!

Silence! Stop it! Silence!

Meeting at Panduru! Come on! We found money.

-We found money for the salaries. -Let’s go!

-Are you serious? -Yes, sir. Let’s go!

Attention! Attention! Meeting at Panduru.

He found money for the salaries, brothers.

Just a second... So listen. Watch it with that snake...

Good day, everybody!

-Good day! -Hello, Stoian.

Good day, good day, Mr. Panduru.

I gathered them all. We’ll go into your office.

No, no, no! We’ll stay here, there’s more room.

-Go call the administrative people, too. -Yes, sir!

Get some chairs, some benches... Come on!

Come on, Superman! Put your hand in here.

Come on, move a little, so that I can fit in. Come on...

You’d better carry a bench. It’s not like your muscles will fall off,

those muscles you keep on showing off... Fuck your muscles!

OK. Quiet!

Hello! People!

People! May I?

Quiet, please.

Quiet! People... I think I solved a problem,

I have the answer we’ve all been waiting for.

I did my best and I think I succeeded...

Please, take the snake away, I get sick only when I see it.

Please.

-Go, go. -Thank you.

-So, where were we? -The snake.

Nowadays, it’s very difficult to get money.

As you know, redecoration is under way...

In a few days, we start our national tour...

Cut the crap, get to the subject!

We heard this last week and the week before.

This is not the Revolution or your party.

Mr. Ciacanica, please.

-Just say what you have to say already! -Go ahead, say it!

Brothers, I managed to get money for the salaries!

And this time it's for real.

How?!

You’ll give us all you owe us? All of it?!

-Bullshit, he can’t even pay the power. -Cut the crap!

You must know that the power is down in the entire neighborhood, not just here.

The entire neighborhood, my ass.

Who’s keeping this guy in the circus, I wonder!

The party... Ceaușescu...

People, people! The bear...

How do you call him? Old man Martin.

I found somebody... willing to buy him.

Buy him? What, are we selling the bear now? To whom?

People... the bear has been dying for a couple of months.

But we all love him, we all...

But perhaps this animal can make a final gesture for us.

Listen to him...

We sell him and we get our salaries.

I love him, too, and I’m sorry too...

But I found a crazy German who wants to pay us 50.000 marks

to have a bear trophy.

Well, what do you say?

Brothers, do you know what 50.000 marks mean for this poor circus?

What the hell! I barely managed to persuade the guy and you...

Wait a minute. We’ll shoot him? We sell so that he’ll kill it?

Are you insane? What do you mean, shoot him?

No, we don’t shoot him. We just sell him.

The rest, I mean the... they’ll take care of it. I mean he will.

-Who do we sell him to? -Really?

It’s come to selling the bear?

Nobody will shoot no bear.

But what are we, gypsies, to sell the bear?

People, this bear is dying. What the fuck! Actually, we should be...

Ourselves, to put him out of his misery. Right?

This way, we kill two birds with one rock.

We help him out of his misery and we...

-Mr. Panduru, please allow me. -Get our salaries...

Ladies, gentlemen...

You know very well that Romania is well known in the world for its bears.

Get the fuck outta here! What a jerk! Incredible...

I thought 50.000 marks are good money.

-How much is 50.000 marks in lei? -Official exchange rate?

-Will it hurt him? -He won’t feel a thing. I promise.

50.000 marks it’s a lot of money. A villa, two Mercedes...

What, I know a guy in Germany who will get you ten for that money.

-We... -Hey, listen here!

I thought you were supposed to get money, not start selling the circus.

I knew you were no good.

You want to sell my bear, the one I went to Moscow and Monte Carlo with?

Soon, you’ll be selling my plates for a bouzouki. We won’t sell our bear!

We won’t sell our bear!

We won’t sell our bear!

We won’t sell our bear!

We won’t sell our bear!

Hello! Hello!

If I see we don’t understand each other, and we don’t...

We’ll make this decision together, democratically, right?

The vote is secret and we’ll do whatever the result says.

Don’t worry, it’ll be alright!

They’re afraid to say it openly that they want the money, but...

if we vote in secret nobody will know who voted for and...

It’s really serious. I let the German know.

You said they’d be very happy to hear this.

Never mind, I’ve been through worse than this. Let’s see them vote.

Don’t you hear their stomachs growling?

I’m not interested in your problems here. I need the bear.

Bring an urn, something to vote in.

Come on, the elections were a month ago.

Forget about the urn, nobody wants to vote for the sale.

Marcelino, why are you not doing anything? Do something!

Yes... ladies and gentlemen, but there’s no need for an urn.

We’ll gather the notes in my top hat...

Here, Mr. Panduru, don't you want to sell this one, too?

We'll get some money.

Let’s go! Let’s go, comrades! Please.

I brought everybody. I left behind the doorman out there,

so they won’t steal the... circus.

Why did you bring them, too?

People, wait a second. Why should the administrative people vote, too?

We should vote, it’s out bear.

He’s a circus artist, just like us.

He needs their votes to shoot my bear.

Mr. Ciacanica, please. Show some respect.

They are employees just like you, right?

They didn’t receive their salaries either.

It’s a democracy, Mr. Ciacanica. We’re all equal.

Listen, comrade Ciacanica, don’t we work here, too?

What, aren’t we art people like everybody else?

Listen to him! We love animals, too, comrade Ciacanica.

You should know that I fed that bear, too.

Yeah, right. You fed the miners.

Mr. Ciacanica, please.

She is also an employee, just like you, she’s also entitled to vote.

Then she should get onstage!

She kept on saying after the Revolution that, if anything changed,

we should wash the floors in the cabins.

Come on, comrade. You take tumbles. You don’t work. Nobody here works.

Why don’t you take tumbles?

Please, please, nobody leave!

Everybody votes. Go after them!

No administrative people should vote!

They are playing with you. I don’t know what you need to do,

how you’re going to solve this, but I need the bear tomorrow.

No.

No.

No.

Yes.

No.

Did you see, Aurel, the bear stays with us in the circus?

-Drop this hanky panky. -Five votes against.

Wait a second. Who are the five who voted against?

You are the only one who could’ve voted against!

Because the bear broke that box you were putting Cici in

and stabbing her ass with your sword.

Are you crazy! Why would I vote against?

Didn’t you say you’ll turn him into a rug?

I was pissed off.

But I said "Yes", I mean I wrote "No". No to selling of the bear.

Didn’t you just say you voted against? For the selling?

Hey! Hey! What did we vote here for?

What did we vote here for?

We said to write down "Yes" or "No".

"Yes" for the sale of the bear or "No" for no sale.

That’s what I understood.

What did you vote?

Watch your 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 them to sell the bear.

-But you want the salary? -But who doesn’t want the salary, man?

Have you seen who voted against? And you were suspecting me.

Wait a minute. There is a misunderstanding.

People don’t know what they voted for.

People didn't understand what they voted for.

We vote once again because people don’t know what they voted.

Are you crazy? No more voting.

This is how it stays. Anyhow, the bear is not going anywhere.

Didn’t you promise me the bear if I come 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 and he nearly cut you in half.

Yes, but he gives me flowers. And you don’t ask the gifts back.

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. I have this bear in the papers. Get it?

When I took over this circus, I took the bear and the lion and...

Those lousy hens and Marcelino’s rabbits... and I am in charge of them.

Hey! Wait a minute. Why don’t we sell the lion to the German?

You really are stupid?

Lions in Romania? How stupid must that German be?

Are you picking on my brother again?

-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 I am the circus manager.

What the hell? Let’s vote again.

People, be understanding. 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, people.

Hey, we have the main rehearsal! It’s...

-I’ll buy you another. -What will you buy?!

What bear will you buy? A plushy? Magician!

Cut the crap or I’m getting really mad.

The bear is dying and you argue.

What are you doing, shorty?

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

I know, but ever since apples are more expensive in Romania

than bananas, I bought the cheapest fruit I could find.

Give him some!

Here...

you have the authorization...

Here, take this one and don't waste time, 'cause we got another German.

...the transport order...

Good weather and shit on the shot gun.

What did he say?

I’ll tell you. Follow me.

Did you solve it?

I’ve never seen anything like it. Such people, such people!

They don’t want the money...

In order to save that stupid bear, which I haven’t even seen.

Yes. Incredible! Incredible!

And if you knew how they nagged me to get their money.

Regardless of the source.

They said I was incompetent, that they are starving, that...

That’s bad, Panduru. That circus with the vote is also bad.

Actually... I think that the people who voted for,

were actually against it, only they didn’t understand how the vote worked.

Anyway, now, nobody wants money anymore... They all want the bear.

-They’ll drive you crazy... -Forget about this. What are we doing?

It’s really bad. The German confirmed he left.

I think he arrived, too. I also signed his authorization...

But did you find somebody who can’t tell that this is no wild bear?

-Don’t you worry. Stay out of it. -Any ranger who will see it, will know.

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

They are nagging us anyway, they say we have something against minorities,

that we marginalize them.

The only live bear he’s ever seen was in a picture.

But where do we get it from... The ones in the fund are counted for...

and we run into trouble.

And you saw how things are with the authorizations... each one is registered.

I just signed one.

Now... The forest ranger chief is bribed...

The gipsy doesn't know a thing...

We need a bear.

The bear is not a problem. What the hell? I am the manager, I’m in charge.

But let them sue me for helping them forcefully.

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. Earlier. Until they come.

We take him? What do you mean?

-We steal him? -We’re not stealing him....

I don’t want to be involved in no theft. You should know that.

We’re not stealing him. Am I not in charge?

But what if they all agreed, wouldn’t we take him in the same way?

Only later.

Yeah, but... it sounds like we’re stealing him! We don’t have any papers.

Do you think I got you papers for the merchandise?

What if the police stops us?

If they do and everybody agreed, isn’t it the same?

Would they all come along? With the circus car, with me...

I am a certified revolutionary, right? Just like you....

I just hope we won’t get into trouble.

A minute ago, you were saying the German is coming, this, that...

and now you have the bear and you are hesitating?

I told you I’m in charge. But when it came to money, there you came.

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 you get it, even if the German shoots him,

they’ll ask for 50.000.

-We’ll figure this out... -You will. I’ll stay out of it.

Alright! We’ll meet in the morning at the gas station at the city limits.

Hello? How are you, ma'am? Is Mr. Stoian at home?

Panduru, his boss... From the circus, yes.

Yes, thank you.

Hello, Stoian, I need the ARO tonight.

Ah, it’s at the garage. What about the keys?

You have them...

No... for my brother... no... He had some tiles, he’s renovating his bathroom.

Yes... Forget it, I’ll get a Getax. Yeah.

You know where he can get a bigger one?

Some kind of van, a wagon... Like a truck.

He has several, he’s moving. Yes... I’ll figure it out.

Yes, yes.... Bye, bye...

What the hell is she doing?

-Good evening! -Good evening!

-What are you doing? -It was you the one who called earlier?

-Yes. -What happened? Did you forget your keys?

Yes.

Mrs. Frățilă from the third floor opened for me.

-Did you get those for me? -No... I forgot.

I had some problems today at the circus and....

I don’t know how the hell it always happens that you forget what I ask you.

I don't know how many times you promised me this will be solved.

You only have time for... your circus.

Ever since you’re a manager there you even stopped getting your salary.

We live off my mother’s money.

Come on... stop nagging me. Just let me take a shower?

I had a day... you don’t even want to know.

They found their idiot and they put you in the circus.

They got better deals for themselves.

Just think about it.

All the people in the former government. All got a good deal...

You’re the only one left behind.

They made you circus manager to shut you up. Big deal.

Manager of the circus in Bucharest, Panduru...

The tough guy from the Revolution, manager of monkeys and clowns.

Please. Will you stop already? Will you stop already?

-I’ll go crazy... -Go wherever you want.

I’m tired of your threats.

Come on, forgive me.

You look very well like that, too.

That’s all I asked you.

You’re good for nothing.

See that you won’t forget tomorrow, too.

Wait a minute.

Turn it around so we can load it better.

Vasile...

Good morning. Sorry for waking you up so early.

-No problem. Where do I put it? -On this Getax here.

Don’t be worried. He’s just a little agitated, he didn’t have breakfast yet.

Hey, this is not what we discussed.

I thought that the price only includes the cage... not the animal, too.

Wait a second. I’m paying the trip, so stop worrying about my fucking cargo.

You know what, if you start disrespecting me, I can swear, too, you know.

Pay the trip, I’m going to the garage now.

-You ask so many questions.... -I haven’t even started asking.

-Where are you taking the cage? -To Buzău.

To Buzău, huh? With the animal...

Not for this price, man, this is not what we discussed.

Come on, pay my trip. I’m going to the garage.

Just wait a second. Are you charging me by weight?

What the hell? I’m paying the price of the trip... why does it matter?

So, what are we doing? We rip each other off?

Pay my trip. I’m going to the garage... yes...

-OK, let’s talk. How much is it? -From Rahova? 50.

-No. To Buzău? -To Buzău? Well, I don’t know...

I’m not going. At this price I can take furniture and it’s the same money.

Pay my trip. Please.

Come on. How much do you want? Tell me and I’m paying.

To Buzău? The cage and the animal?

-Three hundred. -Three hundred?

Yes and you fill the tank, too.

What the hell... yesterday it was here.

Where the hell is it? Did the Bachelor move it?

Do you know where they moved the bear?

No. I have no idea. I had the day off yesterday.

Perhaps we’ll finish the main rehearsal earlier so I can go pick up...

Here she is...

Passat ’81, 90.000 km.

Suspensions... great deal.

Cicico, what the hell? You smoked the last Kent again.

You know the BT makes me cough.

Ciaca... don’t they have another one for sale from where you got it?

I’ll hook you up if you want.

Marcelino, let’s get one, too.

Everybody is upgrading... And we have this Olcit dump.

-I know a guy in Germany... -Have you seen the Bachelor?

Wait, wait.

You give me half the money and he’ll bring it to you in one week.

Huh? You, what is it?

Have you seen the Bachelor? The bear cage is gone and I need to feed him.

-What disappeared? -The bear cage. It disappeared.

Aurel! Aurel! They stole the bear!

Aurel, they stole the bear!

They stole the bear.

I can’t believe it...

It’s better than me.

No... They’re going to jail...

Panduru and Stoian.

I told you not to trust him.

When did you notice?

I came to feed him and couldn’t find the cage.

His heart will burst.

I told you it’s not there. No cage, no bear.

-Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! -Panduru and Stoian.

If anything happens to him, I'll kill them myself.

They couldn’t have left without anyone seeing them.

-Somebody go get the doorman. -I’ll go.

-Aurel! They stole the bear. -This can't be! Impossible!

Didn't anybody see them?

-What happened? -They stole the bear.

Don’t tell me the bear is gone...

-I can’t believe that he stole the bear. -And you mean you don't know anything?

Stoian, you and Panduru are going to jail!

You are accomplices, get it?

What do you mean... Wait a minute.

-How can I be an accomplice? I... -You mean you know nothing?

It’s true, he called last night to get the keys to the Aro.

What’s the plate number? Let's give it to the police.

He didn’t take it, ma'am, because...

I had the keys and he didn’t come to get them.

How did he take him then?

I have no idea! What trouble has he gotten me in?

I have no idea! Stop asking me.

Tell the truth!

Ma'am, I have no idea what happened.

I was late this morning because I went to deposit some money at Caritas.

What about that guy in khaki he showed up with yesterday... Who was that?

-I have no idea, sir. -Who was he?

It was the first time I ever saw him, just like you.

-Let’s call his wife. -The crane! The crane!

We’re so stupid. If he took the bear and the cage, he needed the crane.

He called the crane we use when moving the cages.

Stoian! This is the first good idea you had since you have been with us.

-Yes. -If you find him, we make you manager!

Yes...

Don’t you have the telephone number? Go in the office and call him now. Come on!

-Yes... -Come on!

Stop pushing me. I don't know anything.

Make way. I brought him.

I don’t know anything, I haven’t heard anything.

How come you don’t know when they left?

What were you doing? Were you sleeping at work?

No, I wasn’t sleeping. I was in the tent. They move me every day.

I don’t even know what I'm guarding.

But it’s impossible to not have heard anything.

It’s not like they put it in their pocket, they must have made some noise,

lifting such a large cage.

I was on the other side of the building. You cannot possibly hear from there.

And even if I did, what can I say to the manager?

I understand it was him.

Perhaps he took him to the doctor’s.

Alright, let’s see what Stoian did.

Buzău?

Hey!

The road to Buzau.

-Buzău? -Buzău...

This road, straight, then it winds...

You get to a bridge... you pass it, then you get to a fork...

To the left, straight to Buzău.

Speak slower so that he can understand.

- Do you speak German? - Yes.

It doesn’t matter because I speak none.

Why are you wasting time.

-What’s there? The spit? -Yes, the spit.

Go and put those piglets on...

I'm on it...

...and send the carriage fast, I gotta pick up the German!

Now, that you’re a father in law, you're nervous.

I'm on it, I promised.

What about it, Mr.? Are you here to help? Romania help?

I saw you in the village near-by.

For us gypsies, no help?

Lercane, what is this? Give it.

It's broken.

Kaputo... I’ll do it.

Okay. No problem.

I give you that washingmachine and you show me the way to Buzău.

-Gypsies help. Let’s go, please. -Go!

The way to Buzău!

-Yes, yes, yes... -You can take that with you.

You show me the way, okay?

It’s good, it’s good. Easy!

Slowly, slowly, so we won’t kaput it, yes?

Right. Good. Danke shoshon!

To Buzău? Straight ahead... Straight ahead.

Let’s go...

The way to Buzău!

Fucking Gypsies!

Of course he didn’t tell you...

-Stoian, here you were? -The one in the office doesn’t work.

Here it is.

Here he was! What have you done, dear? Hiding?

People, I cannot work in these conditions.

Please get out... Marcel and Bachelor, stay here.

-What about me? -OK... OK... OK!

-The administrative people, out. -Let’s go. Come on, please.

Hello? Hey!

Listen to me... approximately...

-This way... -Him?

The one with the Getax?

Brothers! Brothers! If we don't get organized, we're screwed.

Organize us like you organized Cici.

Hey, quiet... Please!

I cannot do it like that. So, tell me again.

So... they asked how they could get from Buzău to Pleșcoi.

They left to Pleșcoi of Buzău.

-Buzău? -Yes.

-I thank you very much. -They are procrastinating.

Cecilia, I must find out where they took him,

because they are going to kill him, get it?

No, no, no...

This is not what we discussed.

No...

We were supposed to use the circus car, to leave my car here

until we get back from Fundurile Focșoarei.

What do you want? If these are the conditions.

Let’s sort it out one way or the other.

Listen... He seemed nearly dead.

If you’re coming, you still have to take your car,

because that crook won’t take three people in the cabin,

'cause he's afraid the police might stop him.

-I’ll pay for the gas. -This one runs on diesel.

Fane, what the hell was in that car, growling like that?

A zebra! A giraffe. It wasn’t your man, he’s not growling like that.

He does, God damn him...

The crane operator was here at six o’clock,

then the guy with the Getax came...

He fought with the Getax driver, the guy won’t go anywhere,

but they finally agreed.

-And then, the Getax driver asked the.... -Cut the crap, man. Where did they go?

-How about... following them? -Yes, that’s right.

When did they leave? What time? That’s important.

-What are we going with? -With Ceaca’s Passat...

He’s been on my case all day to get one for Cici, too.

I couldn’t get rid of her. You said it doesn’t consume much.

Wait a minute...

Panduru was alone...

That means that the guy in khaki wasn’t with him...

Why do we care about the guy in khaki?

Did the guys at the circus tell you when they left?

-Yes. -So?

Well...

The Getax driver asked the crane driver how to get from Buzău to Pleșcoi...

-OK. So? -So?

-He said he didn’t know. -He’s pulling our leg.

Call Getax and see if anyone has gone outside the city.

Now!

Brothers, if he was here with the Getax at 06:00... he took the bear...

He put it in at 08:00 or 09:00, he cannot be that far...

He cannot run with the bear on his back.

Half an hour ago, there was call from a guy...

He was at the gas station at the exit to Buzău...

So?

He said he took a trip to Buzău, a client with an animal.

Buzău? Animal?

-Let’s follow them. -Let’s!

If we left now... we’d catch up with them.

Come on! Come on! Let’s go!

Is he keeping him in the car?

Let’s get organized!

Brothers, we have to get organized.

Let your brother go with Ceacanica and you come with us.

-We need... -Yes...

The nice talk might not change their minds. We need real strength.

Do we have weapons?

I had one at the Revolution, but I turned it in.

-Hunting shot guns... knives... anything... -Your rusty knives.

Let’s go already!

Plum brandy... bottle wine...

The German is coming.

Hello, sir.

I am Maradona. Welcome to Romania.

Maradona? Argentinian.

I don't speak Romanian. I speak German and a little English.

When can I shoot the bear?

Take good care of him. He gave me 100 marks... good boy.

So, if you treat him nice, you get rich.

OK. Thank you, Mr. Hans.

I come to get another 100 marks.

I don't understand a word.

Make sure he shoots something, it's the only thing he talked about the whole trip.

OK. I’ll take care of him and his money.

Come on! Go! Go!

Maradona, call me at my office so I can come and get him!

OK, OK.

Hans, shit on the rifle!

Come, come. What are you doing?

How's it going?

Are you doing the lamb or what?

It’s coming along. Look, it's almost ready.

Come on, faster... And where are the piglets?

-Colgate brings them now. -Move faster.

Romina, bring some food for the German. He wants to go hunting right away.

Mr. German, we go later. Now, we eat...drink...

Come on! Let’s see Romanian hospitality at a gypsy wedding.

Quiet everybody. Quiet! Quiet!

This is Mr. Hans from Germany. Applause! Come on!

OK, then! Drink, eat and be merry. Come on.

-Who speaks German? -I do.

I went to jail in Siberia with a German guy called Hans, just like this one.

Come here and tell him that hunting is best done at nighttime.

Come on, sit down. Sit down! OK, OK.

Sit down here and tell him...

What do need?

Do you speak German?

Yes.

No good to hunt...

No, no.

Daytime...

No, daytime...

Come on, Tarantino... what are you doing to the washing machine?

-Tell me, man! -You take care of that spit. Spin it.

Give me a break, man!

Bear hunting.

How do you say bear in German?

I don't understand anything.

-Did you tell him? Did he get it? -He did.

Good! Pour him some more plum brandy, to keep him here. OK, OK.

Do you know what the two of us do now? We drink and party together.

Get out of here, or I’ll break your legs!

Stop, stop!

Comrades... comrades, if we don’t split up...

we came with all these cars for nothing.

They passed through here.

Panduru must have been here because the Getax passed.

And there was a guy in khaki, too.

-One moment... -So, I go to Pleșcoi with the Olcit...

You go to Nehoiu with the Passat.

And you go to Dumbrăveni with the side-car.

Why?

Come on...

Listen...

Haven’t you seen a car with a big, beautiful bear

and a couple of bastards stopping here?

That thing you went out to see must have been a bear...

My God, how he growled. What was wrong with him?

Perhaps he was hungry because they didn’t feed him in the morning.

Shut up... you have no idea... He hates the smell of fuel, poor thing.

Haven’t you heard them say were they were going?

Haven’t you? Haven’t you heard anything?

Well, there was a guy in khaki who said they were going...

Pătârlagele? Dumbrăveni, perhaps?

-Where can they go? -Nehoiu?

-Nehoiu. -Are you sure?

To Nehoiu, people...

I don’t know, Mr. I was just pumping gas... I haven’t seen...

Please. Let’s get our cars. People are waiting.

OK! Let's go, let's go!

Everybody... We’re going to Patârlagele

and then everybody to Nehoiu

and then Dumbrăveni. Alright? Dumbrăveni. Alright?

So first Patârlagele and then Nehoiu and Dumbrăveni...

and then we split up... OK?

Here, have some for your mother to play with.

What's this? Schnapps?

-Plum brandy. -Plum brandy?

- Good luck. - Good luck.

-What is it? -Panduru, my man...

That’s the road, but my car cannot climb that.

So I leave it here and the three of us will take the Getax.

Ok, come on.

Wait, I’m not going up these mountains with my car...

This is not what we discussed. I’m not going either.

What do you mean? You charge so much and now you refuse to go on?

Aren't you sorry for the bear?

What the hell, we are trying to free him and now you’re against it?

Well... the forest it’s right over there! Free it!

What are you saying?

This is a hunting area... it’s full of hunters.

Perhaps it gets shot by a German after we struggled so much to save him.

Romania is well known around the world for its bears.

If it’s so well known, give me 200 more and I’ll take it wherever you want.

-No kidding? 100 lei is all my money. -150.

Don’t be a gypsy. I pumped gas, I did everything you said.

-We stopped so that you can smoke... -OK... 100.

But let’s go. My wife is giving birth. I must get back to Bucharest...

-It’s late, it’s getting dark. -Let's go!

- Romanian Schnapps? - Romanian Schnapps, cheers.

What the fuck?

Panduru... What is this?

Where the hell do these bears come from?

Have you seen that? That was a bear, I swear!

Hey, the bear escaped. Don’t just stand there?

Oh, my God, he growls so loudly!

-Get over here, woman! -Go fuckin' catch it!

He'll catch you!

There is no Dumbrăveni on the map...

People, we’re not getting anything done like that.

Listen to me... we are going around in circles.

So we must choose one of us to decide.

-Shut the fuck up! -We need a boss.

And you want to be it? You haven't been a boss enough, right?

-I’m the boss now. I decide. Marcel! -Yes, hun...

We take the road to the forest.

What do you mean? I’m not going with my car in the forest, man.

Look at us, Cecilia is our boss!

-Watch your mouth! -Come on already. Let’s go.

I found out where they went, so I decide.

-So... -I think the boy at the gas station...

Please, we need a brain here. Not muscles.

Go over there and we’ll call you if we need to lift anything.

Stop picking at my brother, or we’re leaving.

And I want to see what you’ll do if you get into trouble.

Nobody's leaving! We started together, we go on together.

And I decide from now on, because I'm the most sober.

Let’s take the paved road to the crossroad with Patârlagele. Come on!

If we’re all going in the same direction we stand no chance...

Cut it with your ideas... we go straight ahead otherwise we are wasting time.

After all I am the deputy manager

ever since Panduru ran away with the bear...

I decide... I'm running this circus!

You run, my ass! We do what we want, right?

We take the road to the forest. The acrobats, if you want to stay, stay...

-Farfuridi, what are you doing? -What do you mean? I’m going!

-Shorty? -I’m not going anywhere.

I’m not leaving Bachelor alone. I care about the bear, too.

What do you mean? Wait a minute. Shorty is the only one who cares about the bear?

Well, if this is how we stand, I drop everything and leave, all right?

I’m not staying to get bossed around

by two brainless giants and a former communist.

-Mister! -No way!

What do you mean, I don’t care about the bear? Didn’t I make my car available?

You only care about the well being of your car. That’s all.

And all the day you went on and on about bringing the car...

If I only cared about the car I wouldn't be here, OK?

And you must know I could have really used the money they were paying for the bear.

Because... I haven’t paid my car yet.

Cecilia...

If you want to go, go....

You are holding us back.

We’ll fight some more after we save the bear.

Now we’re in a hurry. We must split.

We must go in different directions.

Whoever wants to stay, stays.

Whoever wants to come, comes. But let’s go already.

Are you walking there?

I’m not leaving, but I don’t know if the godfather wants to call out the gift now.

I cannot stay any longer because of the German.

Forget it. Look how he’s enjoying himself.

And, start!

Have you seen this, man? Electric spit.

Eat my liver... I don’t have to work anymore.

I sit and drink and the pig gets done all by himself...

You take that road,

and we take this one, OK?

-We let him go here? -Yes. But how do we get him off?

That is not the problem. But how do we keep him here until the German comes?

Or is he here already?

No, no, he’s not. Relax. Do you see that lookout tower?

If he came, he’d be there. But we must hurry anyway.

-But, how do we get him off? -That’s simple, man.

We open this up,

we pull the tarpaulin aside

and then I open the cage door and he runs into the woods.

What do you mean open the door? Panduru, my man,

we discussed that they agree, that a tamer would come, not that we steal the bear.

-What was stolen? -Shut up.

Those people at the circus should have taken care of this.

I don’t risk my life for the money I’m getting.

-What money? -Fuck the money!

Do you know how bears attack? Do you have any idea?

So this is what you had to do. You were supposed to persuade those people.

If you open the door, I'm not staying.

Do you see the tower? That’s where I’m going.

Wait a minute. This doesn’t sound right.

If you stole the bear, I’m going straight to the police.

Little bitch, shut the fuck up, or I’ll beat the shit out of you?

You nagged me the entire trip and you also spent my money.

What? We talked about a hundred and now it’s five hundred.

With five hundred I could buy this whole piece of junk.

Shut up. Nobody’s leaving. Do you hear me? Nobody.

Not the car, not the bear, not... What the fuck?!

I thought you were a little braver.

If you ended up being afraid of a poor circus bear...

I understand who you really are. A hunter, my ass...

-Hey, watch your mouth! -I said I will set it free myself.

I only asked how we are going to keep the bear here until the German arrives.

-That’s what I would like to know. -None of your damn business.

I talked with the forest rangers to put out a veal carcass.

He’ll stay put until the morning if he is busy like that.

Man... this bear is half dead.

He only eats bread and honey.

It’s a miracle if he’s still alive when the German comes. Veal carcass, my ass...

Did you see that, Panduru? He feels the wilderness.

Come on, old man, come on! Easy! Easy, boy...

Ciaca... I know you need the money... I do, too.

But I have never loved anybody more than I love this bear.

Cecilia, too...

When I saw him, I remembered her...

When I see her, I remember the bear.

I’m all alone now.

If they shoot him... I lost them both.

And the great godfather gives 2.000 lei and a gold necklace.

All the best!

Hey, quiet! Has anybody seen the German?

-No... -He went that way....

What are you doing? You got him drunk and I can’t find him anymore.

I don’t know where he is.

An old gipsy woman took him to tell his fortune and I haven’t seen him since...

-But he was really, really, really drunk. -Give me a break.

What are you doing? Have you seen where he went?

I don’t know. He danced with the bride and then he went out...

Long live the very beautiful bride...

What are you doing? Have you seen the German?

No. But look what I did.

Stop messing around!

Have you seen the German around?

-No, I haven't. -Haven’t you?

Fuckin' shit!

I'm gonna fuck you up! Stop everything.

Stop! Stop!

Get out of the way.

Mr. Hans!

Can you hear me? Mr. Hans!

Hello! Everybody, listen to me... Listen!

Whoever took the German...

Bring him back... or your family gets it!

Get it?

-I saw him behind the kitchen. -Where?

-There in the back garden. -In the kitchen?

Why don’t you say so?

Mr. Hans!

Look where he got himself into.

Mr. Hans... German!

Hey!

Wake up, man...

Me, Maradona...

Maradona... in Romania...

Come!

What? Coffee?

Somebody get him a coffee.

Come on up. We need to go and shoot the bear. Come on! Up, up.

Easy, easy...

Where's my gun?

What? The rifle? There it is.

You take it so I don’t touch it.

Slowly. Let’s go.

Check this out. I’d better stayed home.

I broke the car, didn’t get the money for the bear...

Hey, wait a minute! Wait a minute.

I think I hear an engine...

No, I can’t hear anything. You're at the steering wheel and now you hear motors...

You’d better start the car, nothing will happen to it.

-Shut up. -Listen!

Didn’t you see a Getax with a cage in the back?

-No, no... I didn’t see... -No.

I hear a marching band, music... something.

It’s not an engine noise.

Mister, haven’t you seen a bear with a chain around his neck?

Bear? This guy is pulling my leg.

-What bear, gipsy? -My bear.

It’s not your bear, it’s mine.

He’s mine. Die my mother, if I don’t have him from my father.

It's been 10 years I'm going with him to weddings.

Wait a second. What bear are you talking about?

It’s the bear with whom I’m dancing at the weddings.

Some car has passed us with some monster inside. It was really howling...

A male bear or female bear?

Mine was a male bear, sir. He jerked and he escaped...

It's them... It's them! Now I’ve got it.

Hey gipsy, do you know why your bear ran away?

Because he felt my bear, which is a female.

Where have you seen the Getax? When?

Half an hour ago. It went up on the hill.

I told you to go that way.

So odd... The bear was a female...

Bear man! Gipsy...

If you help me find my bear, I will make you a circus artist.

-Come with us. -No. I’m going to find my bear.

Come with us.

What are they starring at? As if they haven’t seen cars before.

Give it another try, please...

I won’t give it another try because my engine is boiling.

Can’t you see how it is? I just bought it.

Then leave it here and we’ll go by foot!

Oh, look it started. Let’s go!

-What are you doing? -Are you crazy?

Ready?

Panduru, my man...

You’re not right in the head...

-Is he on that side? -No, he isn’t.

-Are you sure? -He's not!

Fuckin' shit!

Give me my apple. What’s wrong? Give me my apple!

-Panduru, are you crazy? -Shut up.

Do you want to put me in jail?

Panduru, can’t you hear? Get yourself together. Fuck the money.

-Tell him... -Don’t do this to me, man!

Man...

Come on... Here...

Here... come on...

That's it... go...

-He's running after you... -I'm not staying anymore...

-Fuck this business! -Stop the engine, I don't see him.

Oh, man! I broke the car in two.

-Is he on the other side? -He is, my ass...

Stop, we're staying here to wait for the German.

I'm not staying... Are you crazy?

So what if you voted against?

Better we let them shoot him.

We would have gotten the money and changed this car.

What are you saying? Let them shoot him?

Are you crazy? Who did you vote for?

Doesn’t matter. I was just saying.

God damn you!

That’s why you didn’t let me...

get in the car with Aurel, because you were afraid that...

That what Cecilia, that what?

You think I couldn’t see you going around the bear cage...

To keep talking to that loser?

Hey, hey, people! Let’s stop fighting.

Mr. Marcel I’m asking you, get a monkey wrench,

otherwise we’ll be here ‘till tomorrow...

You stay out of this, OK? You and the other one that stole the bear,

stay out, because you’re new at the circus and you don’t know what it’s about.

Madame Cici, I was nice to you.

Don’t call me a thief, because I’m an honest man.

I haven’t got my salary since three months ago either.

What about that? I struggle...

I get under the car to save the bear and this one here calls me a thief.

Don’t call me "this one", I won’t allow it.

Fuck you all, it's only money you’re thinking about!

Go away now!

Mrs. Cici...

I respect you as an artist.

But as a woman, I said that because I’m a man, too,

and, as a man, I won’t allow a woman who ran from one man to another....

Mr. Marcel, please get me some pliers...

Something to tighten this hub

or we’ll be left without the star-wheel idler, Mr. Marcel.

-Guys, don’t you have a monkey wrench? -My dad has one.

-Can I borough it for a little while? -No, it’s my fathers’, not mine.

-Where is your father? -He’s not at home. He’s sleeping.

-Can’t you get it for me? -What’s in it for me?

Cecilia... get me my tuxedo and top hat.

Lift this up, woman.

What are you starring at?

Pour some water for the German to wash, to sober up.

Come on German, come on! Wash, drink your coffee and let’s go!

We have a bear to shoot.

"Ja, ja..." but let's go!

We pulled it off. We did.

-Why did you stop? -What happened?

Farfuridi, I’m going back home. Fuck the bear!

It was better if we got our salaries,

I haven’t paid my rent in three months and I’m chasing dead bears.

-Shorty, let’s go. -I’m not going.

I can’t believe such a huge man has no heart.

-We're not leaving the Bachelor alone! -We're not?

Shorty... we don’t stand a chance in finding him.

I would like to. Can’t you see we are wandering...

Hey!

What if they shot the bear and we're running around like idiots.

Yeah. What if they shot the bear and they took the money from the German?

That’s why we won’t get our salaries, for being against it.

-No, no... No. No way. -Yes way.

No. Can’t be. The bear belonged to the circus.

The money for the bear belonged to the circus, too.

They must pay our salaries...

I won’t take any money if they killed the bear.

Democratically, just like that.

From now on, we are free to decide our own fate.

Those kids didn’t day in the Revolution for nothing.

All right, Shorty, we’ll take it for you. Right, Flying Man?

-We're just kidding! -You jerks.

We’ll be back...

We'll take it, no problem!

-Come on, hurry! -Let’s go, here's the helmet.

Look how gentle he is.

I’m sorry he’ll get shoot without knowing what’s going on.

Are you crazy, Panduru? Have you gone crazy like them?

What the hell are we doing if that guy goes to the police

and tells them that we stole the bear?

Who? That crook? He went to sell the cage for scrap metal.

Screw him! It’s a good thing we got rid of him.

And I forgot my cap in his car.

-Do you like it? How is it? Great, right? -Yes...

-Did you like it? -Yes!

We have a rope, we make a knot. See?

Look at these people!

Check this out! That's it, it's over!

Fucking shit!

I paid three thousand marks for it... 3.000 marks thrown out the window.

Let’s walk maybe we still have a chance.

We have to find them. They must be around here, somewhere.

I’d say we ask the people at the wedding.

Maybe they’ve seen a Getax with a cage in the back.

Ask what? Are you serious? Ask who? Don’t you see them? They’re drunk!

You can’t rely on what they’re saying.

Let’s go where the bear man said.

-OK. Whatever you say. -Let’s go, can’t you hear me?

I’m not going anywhere. Fuck the bear!

Free the bear!

Stop, we're here!

Whistle, you can whistle!

What the hell... look at those guys, they’re so stupid!

Driving past us and they’re listening to music.

-It’s a single knot? -Yes...

Marcel, did you hear that? Did you?

-Did you hear that? -Hear what?

-Everybody shut up! -Music, a wedding.

-Should I make another one? -Yes....

Quiet! Listen...

Somebody is yelling... Something about... Getax...

-I don’t know... a wedding. -And I also hear whistling.

Hey, stop, stop!

German, let’s make you a hunter!

Right! Oops!

German... listen to this...

Just like in Stalingrad, man!

Put all the bullets into him, OK?

Enough, enough!

Everybody, listen up!

I’m taking the German to break the bear’s tail

and I’m coming back for cabbage rolls. Let’s go!

Do you know the one with the circus?

A guy passes in front of the circus and sees a large note: "hiring people".

He goes to the manager: "Hello! Hello!"

The director says: "Our monkey died and we have a show tonight."

They needed somebody to put on the monkey fur and do its part.

He says: "OK"...

Come on, let’s go, man!

Screw the car, it’s OK if we leave it here.

Let’s go already! I feel my Old man is around.

-Let’s go! -Look at these guys’ clothes.

Fuck me! I have never seen anything like it.

Look at that guy’s colorful pants.

It’s fuckin' patchwork, damn it.

Don’t you have a container or something?

A bucket, to put some water in my radiator?

If you give me your suits, I'll fix your car, I'm an inventor.

-I made an electric spit. -Did you see a Getax with a bear?

What are we, bear people? I'm an inventor and he's handicapped.

Handicapped...

And we shot the bear...

Listen to what that guy is singing...

They shot my bear.

They didn't, they have just left to hunt. They were here at the wedding

and they’re so drunk, I don’t think they can shoot anything.

The shot my bear...

Are those clothes for sale?

Don't touch my car or I'll fuck you up!

Did you hear that?

Do you hear what he's singing? He’s singing about our bear.

Marcel!

He starts to jump, to take tumbles... And, by mistake, he jumps into the lion’s cage.

And when he sees the lion,

he starts screaming: "Help, help! The lion is going to eat me! Help!"

And the lion says: "Shut up, or they're going to fire both of us!"

Listen...

Do you know someone who can get some fake eyelashes for my wife?

We are going to a wedding and...

Panduru, are you insane?

That’s what he cares about now.

-I can't do it any longer... -Give me your hand, I'll help you.

Help me...

And I danced at the wedding...

And the money...

And I got my money...

And the bear...

I'm walking there...

Are you staying?

Go, Cecilia, go... You were itching to return to that guy since this morning.

Wait, Mrs. Cici, I'm coming with you. I want to see Panduru's face

when we find the bear, Mrs. Cici.

Wait a second!

That's our German.

The German is here.

And I danced at the wedding...

And I got all the money...

Let's go...

And we shot the bear...

And I settled with the German...

Hans, here we are! There is the tower.

You go up there and shoot the bear.

- Do you understand? - Yes, I understand.

But first, I must go to the toilet.

Who, me?

I'm busy, gotta count the money. I'm going to the wedding.

You understand? When you go up there, I leave.

Fucking shit!

Oh, my God!

No, don't shoot!

No!

Everybody, run!

Hold your bear, man! Run for your life!

Check this out...

Unbelievable! Check Old man out... He didn't forget the routine...

Come on, shorty!

Guys, you didn't see Old man on the German's bike!

-What German? Where? -He did three laps.

It's my bike and I had a bag of money.

-I couldn't find it... -I told you nobody's dying!

-We've been looking for you for so long. -Panduru saved him!

Good boy, Old man!

Where have you been, Old man?

Comrade Panduru, comrade Panduru! I told you he was a stand-up guy!

Celi, Cecilia is here.

Cecilia... he didn’t forget the motorcycle act.

Aurel...

He’s fine, let’s free him...

He can’t make it alone in the forest.

He can’t survive. He’s not used to it, he’s a circus bear.

This bear is going nowhere, get it?

I saved him, it’s the bear of the circus. I’m the circus, so it’s my bear.

Panduru...

your bear left.

Oh, my God, I lost the gift!

Why don't you look for him?

I found the money!

God damn me, I found them!

That's it! Everybody is invited to my wedding!

How do you say "fake eyelashes" in German?

I'll come back next year and then we will shoot a bear.

That's a lot better and then we will have more time.

I’m the circus manager.

Yes, but I was in Siberia.

He controlled it from the clutch only.

That’s right, children!

Panduru, if the German shot the bear, would you have given us the money?

Well, Ciacanica, I saw your votes!

Everybody, and now we present a magic act!

Let’s see what happens!

Bravo, the bride, the bride!

They stole the bride!

Oh, my God, the spit is broken!
