"She's asleep." "Did I show you what he bought me?" "No." "I haven't tried it on yet." "It's still got the label on." "Byblos." "740 euros." "You can see the real price underneath." "1,210." "Pure silk." "When the hunter cuts granny out of the wolf's belly, she should be naked." "Who?" "Granny." "When the hunter comes and cuts granny out of the wolf, she should be naked." "I don't understand." "The wolf eats granny." "Then he puts on her clothes." "So when the hunter cuts her out of the wolf, she should be naked." " They told them that at school?" " No." "Orangutan noticed." "She told the teacher." "What did the teacher say?" "That she was wrong." "She said the wolf took the clothes from the wardrobe." "It's true." "I've got a bad feeling about Budapest." "I don't know why." "What's the teacher like?" "The same age as me." "Her older sister is a government secretary." "But she's not as pretty." "Just normal."

"Can I have a bottle of Miranda instead of Nested?" "9 lei fifty." "There you go." "But how much is the Miranda?" "A lei fifty." "Well, I gave you..." "I gave you 10 lei, the Viceroys are 6 lei, the Miranda is 3 lei fifty, you gave me 10 bani (cents) and you should have given me 50 bani (cents) instead of 10." "Sorry." "Can I also have a bag?" "Stop right there!" "I told you to leave it alone!" "In the bathroom, at dinner, in bed..." "And never cross the road by yourself." "Do you want to drive me mad?" "Good thing we understand each other." "Do you have the money?" "Of course." "I said today, didn't I?" "Can I have it, then?" "I couldn't get it any sooner." "I borrowed it off my sister." "Call her if you want." " What?" " Do you want my mobile?" "Layout don't believe me..." "Call my sister, Nus." "Why are you taking that tone with me?" " What tone?" " That tone!" "You needed the money and I lent it to you." "You said the 9th and this is the 2nd." "Three weeks late." "Why do I have to do this?" "Ask for something that's mine?" "You're right." "Do you think it's easy for me?" "You're right." "And thanks again." "Of course I'm right." "Look what he's doing to me!" "What is he doing to you?" "What you are doing to me?" "This one's torn."

"It's not so bad, I thought it was the pipe." "Isn't this bad enough?" "A stupid kid pissing us about, isn't that bad enough?" "Sorry, I'll talk to my husband." "We'll see about it." "How serious is it?" "Not too bad." "In fact, I'm redecorating..." "Yes, but..." "I'll talk to him." "We'll sort it out." "Layout don't mind, I have to clean this up." "Bye." "I'll cut your hands off, you hear me?" "One day, I'll cut your hands off!" "As if your father weren't bad enough." "As soon as he gets in, it's like I'm his waitress or something!" "Look at this!" "I spent all morning cleaning!" "This morning!" "Go and get changed!" " Weren't you supposed to be late?" " Yes." "Come in, Dora." "How are you doing?" "How's the renovation going?" "You haven't even started!" "Hey, Pusey." "Forget what we said about painting, he's still scraping the walls." " We went to the cemetery." " Look at these holes!" "Didn't you take the nails out?" "What a mess." "If I'd known you weren't busy, you could've come with us." "And this scraper..." "It's a museum piece!" "Listen." "Go to Brimstone and buy a proper scraper." "This is useless." "They've got those Viking ones with the flexible blades." "For a proper finish." "Come here a minute." "Come on." "Look at that shirt." "Lovely!" "That color suits you perfectly." "It goes with the jeans" "Come here." " Say, "Rest his soul."" " Rest his soul." "You should get everything from Brimstone." "I'll put it in the fridge." "If you want a proper finish." "There." "You've not even moved the furniture." "Or the books" "Look at these glasses!" "There's a lot of work needs doing." "We thought you'd already painted a room." "Look at this wall." "When you've taken the furniture out, you'll have to scrape it all down, then apply the first coat." "They did a bad job from the start." " You see?" " We should go." "The plate and cup are china porcelain." "Careful with them." "You could at least have done the dishes." "I'll get a plastic bag." "If he's got any." "He has." " Give me a hand." " How?" " That?" " Yes." "Anything else?" "The other bag, too." " And the keys." " Yes." "We're off, then." "Bye." "We thought you weren't home." "We wanted to have some fun!" "Stop it!" "Bye, then." " You've got a fever." " No, I don't." " Leave me alone." " Take your temperature" " Okay." " Take some paracetamol." "Okay." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "The other way around." "Like this." "Would you like to see something else in our catalogue?" "Layout order something it can be delivered within a month." "No." " My ID card." " Here." "Just a second." "So, have you decided?" "No." "I'm looking for a holster." "I'll be right with you." "We have second-hand models, too." "What do you mean?" "Russian, Czech..." " The price?" " The price... 2,100. 2,300... 2,200" "The Czech CZ is 1,700." "Good weapon." "Never any complaints." "Mercia!" "We can hear your colorful language over here." "Do you want to see a CZ?"

"What the hell, it's stuck!" "Easy there." "Don't scrape the edges." "You moron!" "Look what you've done!" " It can be fixed." " Like hell!" "And now?" " It was stuck." " And now you've broken it." " It's just a screw." " Be careful!" "Are you taking the books, too?" "No." "Next week." "I don't have room for them." "Easy, easy, easy..." "Bend and put it down." "Slowly..." "Not just you!" "Wait for him" "Leave it." "We'll get it after." "Take it now, it won't kill you." "Come on." "Nothing else goes from this room." "Understand?" "Nothing else from this room." "Okay." "Or from this room." "There are those books still." "And nothing from this room." "These boxes are mine." "All right." "What are you doing with that?" "Taking it to the car." "Put it back where you found it." "You're not taking that." "So you're keeping it?" "Yes, I am." "I wasn't aware it had been decided." " Come here." " Yes." "Here in the living room, from the middle to the window, nothing gets moved." "From the middle to the window, nothing gets moved." "Not the CD, nor the DVDs, nor the records, nor the books" "Understood." "I heard you were going to wallpaper?" "You heard wrong." "I'm going to use Purchaser." "Venetian stucco?" "That stuff?" "No." "It's a wallpaper you paint over." "With washable paint." "I heard that stuff's rubbish." "What can I say?" "Good luck!" "If I say anything, I'll make things harder for myself." "Oh, yeah?" "Yeah, it'll give you another chance to say I'm being difficult." "Is that what I said?" "No, you said worse." "Manipulative, you said." "Get a move on, lads!" "Here, take this, too." "Careful down the stairs." "Good evening." "Is my neighbor home?" "Someone's looking for you." "Good evening." " Well?" " Good evening." "Sorry." "I know sorry doesn't mean much, but could you tell us what the damage comes to?" "Rather than us just guessing" "Especially for my son, the culprit." "Can I take a look?" "Can I take this?" "Yes." "The stain's clear enough." "Come here." "See what you did?" "Pleased with yourself?" "You see?" "The problems you cause me?" "My wife said you thought it was a burst pipe." "But I don't think so." "Stand aside, let them pass." "What?" "Do you still think it was a burst pipe?" "I did at first, but then I understood." "It isn't a burst pipe." "Anyway, it's still our fault." "Now apologize." "I'm very sorry." " And?" " And it won't happen again." "Okay." "Do you know what this will cost us?" "Do you?" "5 million!" "Isn't that right, neighbor?" "About 5 million." "Good evening." "What are you doing here?" "Let me handle this." "Stop shouting at me!" "I'm sorry." "How is it?" "How is it?" "See for yourself." "There's a stain." "Water damage." "It's not that big." "You know what this means, don't you?" "This means no summer camp and no presents from Santa." "Understand?" " Of course no presents." " Shut up." "Stand up straight." " Now say good night." " Good night." " Come on." " Do your homework." " School tomorrow." " Mustn't be late." " Go on." " Good night." "Sorry about all that." "That stuff about 5 million was a joke." "You got that, right?" "It can't be that much." "May I?" "It didn't reach the kitchen." "Nothing here, right?" "Obviously nothing here." "Only in the bathroom." "Only here." "It can't be more than 500,000." " For the damage?" " Of course." "There's no need." "I'm redecorating anyway." "I can see." " Really." " Yes, right." " Haven't you finished?" " Go upstairs." "I'm coming." "Hurry LIP..." "Honest to God," "I work 12 hours a day!" "Look at my hands." "Then I find out what my son's been up to." "I can't kill him." "He's my son." "I'm sorry." "Let us know." "If we have to pay, we will" "That's life." "Bye, then." "Good luck with the redecorating." "Excuse me." " Is that the last one?" " Yes." "Are you there?" "We're off." "I even took the books" "We'd have swept up, but it would have just raised dust" "Good night, then." "Miticoa Dragonfly of insulting supporters." "This law is stifling free expression in stadiums." "We can't take banners into the stadiums any more, not even those of our own team" "This law is protecting officials as well as Miticoa Dragonfly and the President of the FR, Mercia Sandy." "These are excessively restrictive measures which are censoring free expression." "No one opposed this law." "Certain points about it are worrying for everyone, not just us." "The supporters are threatening to question Dragonfly's law in the Constitutional Court, if it's voted by Parliament." "Today's demonstration made further arguments in favor..." "What right does anyone have to discuss my current situation in a meeting like this?" "So what if it's impertinent?" "We're all impertinent, or pertinent, to some degree." "Of course I'm right." "Hi." "Come in." "Is Gina at home?" "Yes." "Gina!" "Come in." "I'll wait here." "What?" "Come on in." "From the top." "The second part." "Gina!" "Olga." "What's with all these clothes?"

"6 T-shirts, 6 long-sleeve tops and 3 pairs of trousers." "And underwear and socks." "Get to it!" "Let's go out a minute." "Gina, just a second." "I want a quick word." "Okay." "What?" "Can I wear these jeans?" "No, it's filthy on the train." "Put on this purple tracksuit." "Go and get changed." " So what's the answer?" " We'll see, give me a minute." "I saw you called, but I couldn't answer." "I just couldn't." "What did he say?" "Who?" "Lulu?" "He didn't say anything." "We just went over some details, but..." "I'll tell you later." "They're leaving in half an hour, their train's at 11:15 p.m." "We could meet afterward." "About 12:00, so I have time to get back from the station." "Okay?" "I don't know." "Come on, don't sulk." "Come on, you big softy!" "I'll get your stuff." "Just a sec." "Here." "I'll get you a full packet tomorrow." "I talked to someone" "How long are you going to stand out here?" "What's the matter?" "The red boots?" "They're fuchsia, not red!" "What about them?" " Where are they?" " I don't know." "Can't you look for them yourself?" "Do I have to do everything?" "Stop getting all upset." "Excuse me." "Look in the bathroom." "They were muddy, remember." "Do I have to remember everything?" "I have to go." "I'll call you when I get back." "Come on..." "I'll call you, okay?" "I told Stoical it'd be you." "Oh, yeah?" "What did he say?" "He got scared when he heard the doorbell." "I'm with Mrs. Truicoa." "See these?" "Your shirts." "Washed and ironed." "Don't forget them." "There's some bean puree." "Can you smell it?" "It's like New Year's Eve!" "I went to the tax office this morning." "It was absolutely packed." "Two hundred people, all of them pensioners." "Why they're all so eager I have no idea." "There's a 5% discount if you register by the 15th." "That's why." "It won't make much difference for a small amount." "Queuing for 5%!" "What people will do for money!" "I didn't register, I just picked up the forms." "I'll have to go again to register." "But if it's just as crowded..." "Pusey." "Pusey?" "Yes?" "Have you got something against me?" "Violet, even though I never met your father," "I have huge respect for him." "Was I wrong to help you with the suitcases?" "I've never taken anything that didn't belong to me." "Even if I've bought, received and borrowed things." "I've never kept anything, as you're insinuating." " Mr. Stoical..." " Never." "Look at this house." "Look at everything in it and bear this in mind:" "If there's another owner here, then that owner is me." "It's obvious you're trying to be something you're not." "You'd better recalculate." "What do you mean?" "What do I mean?" "For a start, stop wearing my dad's overcoat." "But Pusey gave it to me." "Mr. Stoical, maybe you are an honest man, maybe you really do like Pusey," "but I'm asking you to leave me alone." "I don't like you." "You should have understood that." "It's chemistry, I can't help it." "I find your sense of humor embarrassing." "So stay away from me." "And don't ever step into my room while I'm away." "Understood?" "Pusey." "I'm leaving." "Wait." "I left the suitcases in my room." " What suitcases?" " Suitcases." "What do I do with them?" "Put them in the basement." "The big one and the plastic one." "Wait, let me show you what I've made." "I'd like this door to stay closed." "Closed, okay." "Violet." "And orange." "Complementary colors." "Well?" "They're wool." "Feel." "Look." "What are they?" "Little hats." "Let me get you a bag." "What's the matter?" "What's wrong, Dora?" "What is it?" "I don't understand him any more." "He's like a pregnant woman!" "Put them in here." "I need a smaller one." "It's all I've got." " They'll get creased." " No, they won't." "You've put them in wrong." "Hold it here." "Don't leave them in." " Don't you have a smaller one?" " No, I don't." "This one's fine." "Bye." "Good night." "Bye." "Train 1798 from Piatra-Olt is arriving at platform 3." "The express train 663 for Phoniest-Sud, Buzoau, Formosan, Tecumseh, Vaseline and Aliasing will leave from platform 5." "Shut up!" " Well!" " Good morning." "What a surprise!" "That's why she was barking like mad." "Shut up or I'll have your guts for garters!" "I'll show you!" "What are you doing up so early?" "Can't you sleep?" "Yes, I can." "The girls have left." "Don't say you came to see me." "I did." "Come in." "You look tired." "Why aren't you sleeping?" "Wipe your feet." "Are you coming?" "One sugar or two?" "Two."

"They don't miss you." "How's Pusey?" "How's Pusey?" "Pusan's fine." "Why don't you call her?" "Why would I call her?" "To ask how she is, for instance." "I'll call her." "I'm making moussaka." "Dan's gone to drop the girls off." "You know what makes me sorry about this story?" "That you add up every little thing we've done for each other from years ago, right back to kindergarten." "That's not good." "You cross the road when you see the person concerned coming." "Am I right?" "I don't know." "I guess you do." "Who's the person concerned?" "Take a guess." "What's that on your lip?" "Herpes." "Put some toothpaste on it." "You caught me at a busy time." "It's impossible." "I'm alone with all this." "Why are you following me around?" "Nita?" "Have we got visitors?" "Where are you?" "A bit early for all this, isn't it?" "Is Andrea here?" "I'm looking for Mrs. Andrea Broatiloa." "Who?" "Mrs. Andrea Broadcloth." "Is she here?" "Who are you?" " Sorry?" " Who are you?" " And who are you?" " What?" "Why are you taking that tone?" "Why don't you just call her?" "Come back at 10 and talk to the manager." "Oh, yeah?" "And who are you?" "Why are you covering for her?" "Tell me." "If you're so clever and you've nothing to hide, why not just let me in?" " Come back in half an hour." " Let me in." "We're busy." "Go for a coffee." " Are you hiding something?" " We're busy." "I won't bother you" "You're not allowed in here." "What is it?" "Something wrong with my jeans?" "No, nothing." " So everything's all right?" " Yes." " You like them?" " Yes." "What have you got here?" "Don't mess them up." "I won't." "Valentino..." "Go and get Mrs. Radical." "I'll stay here." "And apart from Valentino?" "Can you come?" "Have you ever wondered why women started wearing trousers?" "Have you?" "Hello, how are you doing?" "Hello." "I was in the neighborhood and I thought I'd drop by for a chat with Andrea, but I'm out of luck." "I'm sorry." "Andrea quit a month ago." "How come?" "I heard she applied for a job as an inspector at the Ministry of Finance." "Are you winding me up?" "No." "What's this rubbish about the Ministry of Finance?" "It's true." "What is?" "She hasn't worked here since the end of January." "So now you've remembered?" "Which January?" "You mean two months ago?" "You're getting tangled up in your own lies." "What lies?" ""What lies?" layout don't mind..." "Go ahead." "Look if you don't believe me." "Unbelievable!" "Mrs. Cato is in there." "Do you need the toilet?" " Does he need the toilet?" " No." "No, he doesn't!" "If what you say is true, why did she tell me that you'd be here at 10:00?" "It's a quarter to ten now and you're already here." "Give us a break." "We've got to get the shop ready." "Why did you first tell me she quit a month ago, then suddenly say that she left in late January?" "Why?" "Give you a break?" "You want me to give you a break?" "Okay, I'll leave you alone." "But do you know why?" "Have you asked yourself why?" "Well, think about it." "You got a problem?" " Mrs. Radical." " Yes." "Why is it you don't sell ladies' underwear?" "Well?" "See, you don't have an answer to everything!" "Right and at the end of the corridor." " Excuse me..." " Just a second." "Mrs. Hers ilia..." "Mrs. Hers ilia only gets in at noon this week." "I've come for my daughter." "They've all gone to the theater to see The Giant Radish." "Come on, Lu mi." "Come on." "Go and get changed." "It's this way." "We were rehearsing." "Really?" "And I interrupted." "Give it here." "Are you taking her home?" "I'd say so." "What do you think?" "We're rehearsing for the party." "Can't she stay a bit longer?" "The party?" "The Party, comrade?" "Please let her stay a bit longer." "Mrs. Softener, if I tell you my condition is terminal will that suffice?" "Are you serious?" "Are you?" "Why don't you come when I call?" "From the top, kids!" "I wanted to see..." "You wanted to see?" "When I call you, you come." "End of story!" "What are you staring at?" "Livelier!" "Bye, Aline!" "Layout don't come now, I'm leaving you." "I'm coming, but the flush isn't working." "Forget about it." "Okay, I'm coming." "Please." " I told you we're in a hurry." " Yes." "Let's put your coat on." "What took so long?" "I needed to go, and then it wouldn't flush." "The first was," ""Alexandru has a new key."" "The second was," ""loan's coat" ""is mauve."" "Did you know I love mauve?" " Yes." " Yes?"

"She's almost my best friend in the class." "Do I have to let you know every time I want to get in?" "Do I have to let you know every time I want to get in?" "Should I let you know I'm coming two weeks in advance?" "Listen to me..." "When I come home I want to be able to get in." "When I come home I want to be able to get in." "Exactly." "What?" "Enough!" "I don't want to talk any more." "Enough!" "Bye." "Why didn't Grandpa come to pick me up?" "What?" "Why didn't Grandpa come to pick me up?" "Can't you see we can't get in?"

" Ls Mrs. Microfarad home?" "Yes, I understand..." "Your hand." "You're wrong." "I paid him, so let him wait." "Let him wait." " Someone at the door for you." " You think that's how it works?" "You slip them something..." "What are we doing here?" "What are we doing here?" "He won't wait." "Listen to him!" "He does everything wrong." "I have a favor to ask." "Is this your daughter?" "Yes." "Aren't you pretty?" " What do you say?" " Hello." "Is she the younger one?" "No, she's Luminosity." "The little one is Loacroamioara." "Good for you, dear!" "What favor?" "Pusey went out and locked the door." "I have no one to leave Luminosity with." "I wanted to ask you if she could wait here for Pusey." "Don't you have a key?" "Only to the bottom lock." "But they've locked the top one, too." "Whose are those?" "Ours." "I see." "I'm busy, I don't have time." "And I have to go out soon." "Well..." "She'll just do her homework, she won't be in your way." "Pusey will be back in three hours." "Okay, then." "Come on in." "Can we?" "Thank you." "Violet, how are you?" "Fine." " And you?" " Fine." " What year are you in?" " First year." "What school?" "The 139." " What are they?" " Flowers." "Did you make them?" "Good for you!" "You're looking well." "I'm here with my nephew." "He wants to trick me into buying a fitted kitchen." " He's got his own company." " I'm not trying to rip you off!" "I know you." "If I didn't know you, I'd have left a long time ago." "The same subject for three days:" "Money, money..." " Allow me." " Okay." "Sorry, I just finished cleaning." "Give them to me." "I'm sick of cleaning all day long." " Aren't you hot?" " Yes." "You're hot, right?" "It's stuffy in here." "I have to open the windows, too?" " What are you doing?" " What?" "Cleaning up after you." "You must be exhausted!" "I'll put this here." "You could put the table there instead, with four chairs round it, like decent, self-respecting people." "The price?" "I want to know the price." "You're obsessed with the price!" "Excuse me..." "Can I leave this bag with you?" "Yes, leave it." "It couldn't be cheaper." "I'll only charge you for the materials." "If I take what you're offering," "I'll be doing your kitchen for just a shot of vodka!" "We'll work it out." "A six-pack of beer won't cover it!" "This is the price." "What will you put in the corner?" " Don't forget." " No." "Lunch is ready." "I'm sick of your cigarettes!" " Are you eating with us?" " Yes, thanks." "Don't hurry us, we're coming." "You're the one who wanted lunch!" "I don't believe it!" "Has your daughter eaten anything today?" "Has she eaten?" " Have you eaten today?" " Yes." " I didn't hear." " Yes." " What?" " I had a sandwich this morning." "And another one at school, and a glass of milk." "Milk isn't food." "I've got a Russian salad." "No, Mrs. Microfarad." "Is it made with mayonnaise?" "Of course it is." "She's allergic to mayonnaise and preservatives." "I made it myself, it's freshly homemade." "She's allergic to eggs, too." "Don't give her anything with eggs in it." " Okay." " It's serious." "I'll find something else." "Hey..." "Want a drop of homemade brandy?" "Let's have a glass." "No, thanks." "Leo?" "How about a brandy?" "No, thanks, I'm driving." "So what?" "I could lose my license." "Drinking on my own again." "Here I go again." " What?" " I have to go to the toilet." "How many times do you have to go?" "Is the toilet this way?" " Just a moment!" " It's taken." "Find yourself a job!" "Stay here and behave yourself till she comes out." " You see here?" " Yes." " Your backpack." " Yes." " Your gym bag." " Yes." " Don't forget them." " Okay." " Don't forget them." " Okay." "I'm going." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "Daddy." "I don't want to stay here." "I want to stay with Pusey, not with this lady." "You'll make me cry." "Leave your father, he's busy." "In fact..." "I've got a lamb and okra stew." "Can she have that?" "Can she have that?" "Lamb and what?" "Lamb and okra stew." "Yes." " Yes, she can have that." " Good." "Just sit quietly at the table and do your homework." "Mrs. Microfarad will help you." "Pusey will be home in 3 hours." "We're going to get along just fine." "Just fine." " Right?" " Right." " Thanks so much." " Don't worry." "Thank you very much." "You're welcome." "We'll be fine." "Bye, Daddy." "Your ID card, please." "Can I get anyone anything?" "Your ID." "Nothing for you?" " No." " Are you skint again?" "Empty your pockets onto the desk." "Everything." "I'll take that." "That's it." "Come here." "Hands against the wall." "Higher up" "Legs apart." "Right." "Could you be a bit gentler?" "It's all right, calm down." "Sit down." "On the chair." " Did you have to be so rough?" " I didn't do anything." "Sit down." "This has expired." "Sir!" "It's expired." "Yes, I know." "I should have renewed it in July." "This is a 12-gauge." "Here we are, lads." "You don't make life easy for me." "He had real trouble with the bolts." "He didn't have the proper spanner." "And when he got the plastic cover off, the one that goes over the rocker arm, he found a pile of cherry stones." "What?" "Nothing." " Tell me." " Just finish your job." "The guy was so embarrassed, he didn't know what to say." "Cherry stones, boss!" "I knew you wouldn't believe me." "He saved them." "I'm bringing them in tomorrow." "I knew it." " How about these murders?" " He says there are four." "I took his wife's car to Petrify, the mechanic I use." " Should we send someone?" " Where?" " Coffee?" " Yes." "You, too?" "20S Luna Reticulum Street." "What, too posh for you?" "That bottled water makes for expensive coffee." "True." "It's not a luxury." "It's for the guardian." "All the tap-water in Bucharest is infested with guardian." "All of it!" "Ask your mechanic to add it all up again." "Give him a pencil, get him to do it again." "He's serious, boss." "I wouldn't have recommended a dodgy mechanic." "My old man's been getting his car serviced there for years." "Everyone in the neighborhood uses him." "See if anything was reported." "No one's ever had any suspicions about the guy." "It's not as if old Petrify ever tried to rip anyone off." "Not going to answer?" "Do you want me to?" "Here, pal!" "A job for you." "Get to Dragnet." "Signed, stamped, the whole thing." "You know the score" "Wait." "What's his name?" " Whose?" " This mechanic of yours." "Valentin Petrify." "Right." "And his number?" "0-7-4-4..." "Got that?" "5-1-2" "0-3-7." "Just so you don't think" "I tried any funny business or whatever." "Pity the fool who tries to help!" " Stop it." " I shouldn't have..." "He's been winding me up all day long." " Well?" " He's here." " Really?" " Yes, he's downstairs." " Be back in a couple of minutes." " Okay." "Let's go." "Can I turn my mobile on?" "Yeah, go ahead." "And stay there" "Sorry to bother you" "Can I move from this chair to that one?" "There's a terrible draft blowing here." " There?" " Yes, there's a draft here." " Sure." " I can?" "Yeah, of course." "I got you a coffee." "With everything." "Thanks." "I have to go now." "Call me when you're leaving." "Right." "Who did you say you killed?" "The public notary," "Zoloft Levant." "And Dan and Rodin Livingston, my parents-in-law." " Dora." " Yes." "Get a pen and write this down." "Right away." "Tell me again exactly who the victims were." "Their names?" " Zoloft Levant..." " Wait a second." "Ready." "Zoloft Levant," "Dan Livingston and Rodin Livingston." "Rodin is" "Dan Sierpinski's wife and my mother-in-law." "Ex-mother-in-law." "Obviously." "Is that all?" "There was another lady in the car park where I shot Zola, but I don't know who she was." "Zoloft Levant." "And..." "Not his wife." "They didn't seem close." "Is he a relative of yours, too?" "He's my ex-wife's notary." "They met three years ago at Georgia Spa." "Four years this June." "Where did all these killings take place?" "I shot Zoloft Levant in the car park of the Hotel Intercontinental, last night around 9:00 p.m." "And I shot my in-laws at their house in Chitin," "20S Luna Reticulum Street." "Where do they live?" "Who?" "The victims." "My in-laws live at 20S Luna Reticulum Street, in the Chitin neighborhood." "Zoloft Levant has an apartment at 17 Foainari Street." "That's the street that connects Cleanup to Hermosillo." "But I don't think he lives there." "It's more like his notary office." "He has another office in Sat Mare and one in Debriefing." "I don't know where the lady lived." "Why did you kill them?" "I realize that what I'm saying has no equivalent." "But since I suppose you'll have statements and reports to fill in," "I'll try to be as precise as possible." "Yes." "Amalia is..." "Amalia is as inattentive as a child." "So she's much too eager to trust what other people say or tell her." "I didn't get divorced because I wanted to." "Do you understand?" "And getting divorced isn't just breaking up with one person." "I couldn't leave things like that." "I don't know what you think, but..." "I believe that the justice system cannot comprehend the level of complexity of the relationship" "I had with my wife." "Who's Amalia?" "Amalia is my wife." "She's my ex-wife." "Her name is Livingston now." "She took back her maiden name." "What do you do for a living, Mr. Ghent?" "I'm a specialist consultant in metallurgical engineering at the heavy machinery plant for the Bucharest petrochemical industry." "And your residence?" "Where I live?" "5 Fetes ti Street, in Malta Alboa." "5 Fetes ti Street, block Hus, stairwell B, 2nd floor, apartment 18." "Block?" "Block Hus, stairwell B, 2nd floor, apartment 18." "Right." "You're from Bucharest?" "Yes, I'm from Bucharest." "My mother was born in Sinistral, Bulgaria, my father in Toandoarei, but I was born here, at Polish Maternity." "I don't know." "I came to the station, I turned myself in, handed in my gun, but the officer on duty grabbed me under my arms." "Isn't it clear that I turned myself in of my own accord?" "Yes." "I don't think the officer understood anything at all" "The gentleman you were talking to earlier." " Is there any more coffee?" " Yes." "Do you have children, Mr. Ghent?" "Yes, two little girls." "How old are they?" "The younger one is 4 and the older one is 7." "She's in first year." "Don't get me wrong, but..." "I've been listening to you." "You seem to think you understand." "You seem to think you follow what I'm saying." "And that scares me." "I don't know if you understand." " Shall we take his statement?" " I suppose so." "Yes." "I see." "And the others?" "Have our boys left?" "Okay." " Well?" " It's all true." "Take his statement." "Here." "Write your statement." "Last name, first name, living in Bucharest, date of birth." "Tell us the full story, how it all happened." "I'll give you more paper if you need it." " Can I have a pen?" " Yes." "Here." "A Steady CF pen!" "I'm going to the toilet."
