"WHEELS" "Where to?" " To the town." "Thank you..." "Lousy night." "It's always like that in this season." "I've never seen showers like this one." "I can't wait to get home." " You won't make it tonight." "Why?" "The road is flooded." "It's closed." "No shit?" " No shit." "Half the canyon is in flood." "AII's in flood." "Just my fucking luck!" "I'm dead tired!" "There's a motel, "The wheel", five miles down the road." "I've never been there but I've heard of it." "It's a great place!" "It's super!" "Still..." "It's a good motel." "I don't think it's open season for hunting or fishing." "It isn't." "But a man has to earn his daily bread." "So, what fishes bite?" " All sorts..." "You just have to know where to throw this thing." "Sorry." "Are you going to the motel?" " No..." "You can stop right here." "Here I am!" "Hey!" "Stop!" "Here I am!" "Get out of the car!" "Get out!" "Documents!" "Nemanja!" "Nemanja Karajovic!" "It's me, Mirko!" "Let the man go!" "Come here." "I'm Mirko Graorac." " Mirko the "Beaneater"?" "Don't you miss the farts coming from the desk in front of you?" "May I smoke now?" " Hey, Gavrilovic..." "Gavrilovic, cut that shit!" "This is my pal!" "Isn't that so, Nemanja?" "This guy's fresh from the Academy." "What's going on here?" " You don't want to know..." "The rain makes people go berserk." "It goes for us, too." "What are you doing here?" "Don't you live in Belgrade?" "I do." "I'm going home to see my father for the weekend." "You didn't know the road was flooded?" "I'll spend the night in the motel down the road." "Well, you can get to "The Wheel", that's for sure..." "What about you?" "Didn't you want to study law?" " I did... but I didn't get far with it." "I practice it, anyway, and practice makes perfect." "This one doesn't seem that perfect to me." "Come on, Nemanja!" "Please." " No, I'm just joking." " Me too." "Come on, let's go." "How long are you staying in the town?" "For the weekend." "I hope I'll see you there." "We can talk about the old times." "Sure." "My heart's bleeding with nostalgia." "That's my man!" "Your guys know how to kick asses!" "They are well educated." "Where did you creep from?" "!" "Eat your heart out, Gavrilovic!" "You'd have better stayed at the Academy." "I say, please!" "What's up?" " Silence!" "Don't you silence me!" "Come on, everybody's must pay to watch TV!" "To pay for watching?" "!" "You don't give a shit for the wear and tear, do you?" "You just sit here, you don't drink, you just watch TV!" "Pay up!" " OK, I'll pay for the blond lady, too." "Good evening." " I don't think so." "What's the matter with you?" "What are you doing?" "!" "Minding the hygiene..." "What will it be?" "May I use the phone, please?" " No." "The line is dead." "OK." "May I have the menu, please?" "You can have the menu, but you can't have dinner." "The kitchen is closed." " Just a cup of tea?" "I told you: the kitchen is closed!" " So what?" "So, where do you think I can make the tea for you?" "OK, OK..." "Never mind..." "Then, I'll have..." " A brandy?" "OK." "A double." "I'd hate to open the bottle just for a few drops." " Sure." "I hope that the lavatory isn't closed." "It's nothing, really." "Wait until I take off my pants!" "Come on in, Mileta." "Come on, don't be shy." "Had any breakfast yet?" "Ugh, half a liter of schnapps!" "This is Mileta." "Our forest ranger and game warden.." "Silence, please." "We paid to watch TV." "You'll either listen to me or get the hell out of here!" "Come on, tell us, Mileta." "We don't speak English." "Mileta asked if anyone of you noticed poaching activities around here, or took part in this illegal practice." "What language was he speaking?" "His mother's tongue." "His mother was mute, too." "Come on, Mileta, take a rest." "It's on the house." "When the season is open, he gives hell to the beasts." "He skins them and cuts them into quarters." "He sometimes even fucks the most beautiful specimens." "Mileta, how do you fuck squirrels?" "What did he say?" " From the back." "But, when the season is closed, nobody is kinder to them." "It's very hard for him, but he suffers in silence." "You probably heard that from his mother." "Yes, we spoke the universal language." " With your hands?" "With my cock." "Hello!" "Please!" "I'm not a telephone, my son." "How do you want me to call you?" "Sir, mister, chief, comrade..." " Are you all of that?" " Yes..." "Also a waiter, the cook, maitre d'..." "I can sing, too." "And you can also tell jokes." " So, you thought it was funny?" "What do you mean?" "The joke." "You laughed, didn't you?" "Yep, very funny." "Very, very funny!" "What's it that you're watching?" " The News." "So, you'd like to be well informed?" "Why?" "And you wouldn't?" " You're wasting you time." "You'd better clean up the toilet instead." "OK, never mind that..." "Can I spend the night in your motel?" "You can." " I hope that the rooms are cleaner than the john." "Just a little bit..." "You have to register now." "That's for the brandy..." " OK..." "And this one's for you." "Just put any name in your book." "Hey, what's up?" "I am sorry." "I thought she was sick." "I think she is; upset stomach." "What is it to you?" "I'm really sorry." "I didn't mean to pry..." "This is the room number three." " Yes, I know..." "Sorry again." " Try not to go astray again." "Daddy, is that you?" "Yes, son." "Daddy, I need money." " Sure, son." "You're cool, dad..." "I'm sorry I said all those things to you last time." "Go back to sleep, son." "Hit him!" "Hit him!" "He's tough!" "Atta, boy!" "Did I hit him in the head?" " Hit him once more!" "I used to hit better once..." "So, it isn't funny now?" " You won't be laughing any more!" "Milan, he opened his eyes!" "Don't worry, Zana." "We have him!" " To the fence!" "Quick!" "What now?" "Let's not beat awound the bush." "Splash!" " Splash?" "!" "Splash him into the river!" "I seriously doubt that it would be legal." "You fowgot who he is?" "And what he did?" "Legally, it's murder." " We won't kill anyone." "We'll just throw him into the river." "If he sinks, he'll drown." "If he swims, let him swim to the Black Sea." "The cops can swim after him, if they wish..." "You are crazy!" " Stop yelling, boy." "Or, you'll go swimming at once." "You'll end up on the bottom." "anyway." "I've no idea what you mean." " No idea?" "So, is it still funny?" "What?" " I saw him!" "He was giggling." "There was nothing funny." "Yes, he was giggling." "Chuckling." "Dying of laughter." " There's nothing funny!" "Shut his mouth!" "The boy lost his sense of humor." "We talked enough!" "Let's go:" "one, two, thwee and splash!" "I seriously believe that this "splash" is illegal." "Why don't you cut this "illegal" crap?" "Maybe that would be the right thing to do, but it's illegal." "I'll go inside." "Call me when you make up your mind." "Move!" "We must make a democwatic decision." "There is no doubt that we caught the killer..." "That was what he said himself." " Yes." "He was laughing aloud." "He said: "You watch the News in vain." "They didn't catch me. "" "This is his weapon." "Thank God Cowic noticed it." "Well done, Cowic!" "He was trying to hide it, but he didn't fool me." "These glasses are cylindrical." "Then, he attacked the next victim" " Junic's wife." "He sneaked to the bed and tried to attack Irena..." "She's sleeping now, I gave her a pill." " I do hope so..." "Well, who knows what would happen if you weren't there!" "She isn't going to wake up soon, is she?" "So, there's no doubt." "This cwimminaI really is the killer." "He muwders men, he enjoys killing women... and he wouldn't spare a child." "And, while doing it, he laughs like a madman." "We are isolated here..." "The woad is closed, telephone lines are dead." "But, justice can't wait." "I don't pwopose a lynch, I pwopose a fair trial." "A secret vote." "Each of us has to decide on what this butcher deserves." "I say, let him die laughing!" "You are crazy!" "I neither killed nor attacked anybody!" "This gun doesn't belong to me!" "Pass your kerchief, please." " You'll completely undress me!" "It isn't funny!" "There was nothing funny!" "I didn't laugh!" "Here's another proof!" "He cwied: "I am not a killer!"" "Would he say that if his conscience was clear?" "And he lied when he said that he didn't laugh." "We all saw him; he was shaking with laughter." "The wabbit comes to the fox's house and tells her childwen:" ""I'm gonna fuck your mama!"" "Mama fox chases him, but falls in a trap." "Wabbit comes from behind and starts unzipping his pants." "Mama fox pleads: "Please don't fuck me, wabbit!"" "And he says: "I have to, I promised the childwen. "" "Funny, isn't it?" "We all look funny to you, don't we?" "Well buddy, you'll soon learn that he who laughs well laughs best." "You deranged lunatic!" "We must put him on trial!" "All of us, with no delay!" "What else can we do, anyway?" "We'll either put him on twiaI or call the police." "The police?" "Cops, fuzz, pigs, the law, as you wish..." "Call the cops!" "Call the cops!" "Call the cops!" "Take it easy." "Nobody asked you anything." "Please, call the police!" "Call the cops!" "So, what do you say?" "Shall we call the cops?" "The telephone lines are dead." " You have a cellular phone." "Or, one of us could get in the car and go to look for them." "I can't make a call because of the mountains around here." "And I wouldn't like to have the police involved." "My car trunk is full of medicines..." "These are expensive and perishable goods." "My car twunk is also full of goods." "And you know our cops..." "Sure I do." "I had to bribe them to let me come here." "I also had to grease the hands of the law." "And I expect an impowtant meeting here..." "What do you say?" "I have a job in a very respectable company." "If the boss finds out I messed with the law..." "What about the two of you?" " My wife and I are honest people and we'd hate to have anything to do with the cops." "Why the hell did you bother us with your "illegal" cwap?" "It was my duty to bring some facts to your attention." "What do you say?" "Shall we call the cops?" "If you don't need them, I don't need them either." "It's a deal, then!" "We need some papers and pencils for the secwet vote." "I have a notebook and scissors." " Gweat!" "Let's move him to the john until we finish the job..." "Just do it quickly..." "You pick gwapes while they're sweet..." "Just feel you're at home." "A killer!" "And we carry him like a king!" "He doesn't give a damn for our toll." "Can we leave him alone here?" "I'll be right back to watch over him." "That was a good one!" "What are you doing, for Heaven's sake?" "Can't you do it quicker?" "Justice can't wait." "The scissors are tiny, and the notes must be nicely shaped." "Cut the cwap, Mrs. Magoo." "Tear up that paper!" "Cast your votes." "Secretly, decently, and responsibly..." "Like I do..." "You can think about it." "I'm going to take a look at the joker." "Here you are!" "I must say I believe that you are doomed, boy..." "It isn't bad at all." "I can see you're a connoisseur..." "Still, it's not clean enough..." "Say, what do you think about my toy?" "You'd love to have it, wouldn't you, little wascal?" "Are you ready over there?" "How long do I have to wait?" "These people are so inefficient!" "Are you over with it?" "You go to watch over the maniac." "I'll collect the papers." "It's the men's room!" "Well, if you spot something indecent, just give it a blow." "Are you frightened, pretty boy?" "Don't try anything funny." "I used to play hokey when I was a girl." "How shall we know your decision?" " You just read." "OK..." "Death... death..." "This one is void - highly iwwegular!" "Death..." "Splash... meaning death, of course..." "Well, we reached a democwatic decision with absolute majowity." " There is no decision!" "First of all, this is a renowned motel not some seedy courthouse." "Secondly, you're on my private property and you'll do what I say." "And last, but not least..." "Let's throw him into the river and see what he'll do." "Freeze!" "Don't move!" "Don't make me kill you all!" "You..." "Give me the cellular phone!" "At once!" "Fucking phone..." "Get it!" "No sweat." "The situation is under control." "I am not a killer." "Don't you get it?" "If you're not a killer, then you don't need the gun." "What do you mean?" "!" " If you are not a killer, what do you need the gun for?" "I'm telling you I'm not!" " Gweat!" "Then you can dwop the gun." "And then, you are not a killer." "Are you trying to fuck with me, or what?" "What's up?" "You think I'm scared shitless, don't you?" "Take it out!" " What?" "You must say "please" to me!" "Take out your gun!" "Easy!" "With just two fingers." "Put it on the table!" "Are we happy now?" "All of them!" "AII!" "That's all." " Jesus!"

"That's bullshit." "Insinuations." "What did you say, Milan?" " Nothing, Zana." "It's nonsense." "You just needed a couple of seconds while I was in the mud to plant the gun on me."

"Great idea!" "A double for me." " Sure." "We could use some booze too." "I'll treat Coric to a drink." "The others will have to pay." "I thought this situation would inspire some solidarity..."

" You see, life goes on..." "It wasn't my idea, honest to God!" "They asked me to do it!" "We just wanted..." " To kill me." "Hey, don't!" "Just have a glass of real drink!" "The ethyl-alcohol will neutralize the methanol." "You'll be all right." "You are not a killer!" "Mind:" "you, you are not a killer!" "I am not a killer..." "Hey, take it easy!" "One glass will do as an antidote." "You don't have to waste the whole bottle." "How much do I owe you for the antidote?" "It will come cheap..." "Maybe even free..." "That's very nice." "If you credit me, I'll pay on Tuesday." "OK..." "Pass the matchbox, please." "Sure..." "Here you are..." "Come on." "Oh, Milan..." "Why is my match broken?" "It's your problem." "The fact that you don't have a cock won't make you an exception." "Cool down, Zana." " Yes?" "I'll go instead of you!" "What are you up to?" "Do you think I'm drunk?" "I say, folks..." "Excuse me just a sec!" "Freeze!" "You won't scare me." "I'm unbelievably courageous." "Don't move!" "One more step and I'll shoot in your legs!" "I'll fuck you for this!" "Come on, help him!"

"I hope that we shall soon let you know of the successful end of the search for the killer who's operating in our county." "God bless the police!" "All we have to do now is wait." "Who are these men?" " Hillbillies." "What hillbillies?" " An honorable family." "Horse thieves for ages." "Now they steal cars." "What do they do?" " Cars." "My car!" "I can't help you." "Shut up and watch." "The guys are a bit rough but they are masters of their trade." "What do they want?" "You mustn't let them in..." "Come on." "What do you want?" " Hi, boss." "Here we are." "There are four cars." "Two are empty, and two are loaded." "I know." "I'm not blind." "What do you want?" "Can we get the money now?" "You can't." " Why?" "At least for the gas?" "You know the rules." "I'll give you 500 tomorrow." "Only 500?" "!" " Sure." "I'm bad with at math, but I sure can run up a total." "Now get the hell out of here and say hello to your father." "Tell them to let go of my car." " Let go of that white car." "What do you need the jalopy for?" "What do I need the jalopy for?" " Cut the crap and do as I say!" "Cut the crap and do as I say!" "Get back inside." "So, this is it!" "We are boiling in your pot." "The kitchen is closed, boy." "The keys!" "What keys?" " My car keys!" "I didn't need them." "They just fell into my pocket." "You didn't want to call the cops..." "You were expecting your rednecks." "Rubbish, my son!" "You'll have a lot of rubbish to clean when the cops come." "And a lot to explain." "You'll have to tell them all." "What about you?" "What about me?" " What will you do when the cops come?" "I'll explain everything." "The hitchhiker is the killer." "They described him on the TV." "You know it, you heard it." "Yes, I did." "He's around 30, 180 cm tall, with a gun." "If that guy really is the killer, the description fits you perfectly." "Just the raincoat is missing..." "But you aren't the killer, are you?" "No." " Still, you have a knack for it." "What do you mean?" " Well, you know..." "Boom, boom!" "I believe you'd like to have a lot of money and a lot of pussy." "You can have it all." "I don't get it..." " Oh, yes you do..." "Just don't shit on everything in the end." "You'll have plenty of money, I can guarantee that." "And plenty of broads, the professionals." "I test them all..." "They are great lays and they're even not too ill." "And you'll be doing a service to the society." "What are you talking about?" "Do you know how many cars disappear in this country?" "2,000 a year in peacetime." "Tens of thousands in the war." "It's big business, especially when you do it wholesale." "You'll get your share from this operation tomorrow." "I'll protect you from the cops." "We are on friendly terms." "You just have to take a job." "Do you get it?" "No." " Do the job, take the money and leave." "What do you want me to do now?" "I want you to get rid of him." "I am not a killer, you old creep!" "How did you make the call?" " What call?" "To your horse thieves." " By the cellular phone." "Don't bullshit me." "I tried it." "It didn't work." "It will, from the lavatory window." " Fetch the phone." "I wouldn't call the cops if I were you." " Just fetch it!" "Hello, Maca, is that you?" "It's me..." "No, I haven't arrived yet." "Of course I didn't get the money." "I'm not putting you on, honest to God!" "I didn't get the money 'cause I'm not there yet." "Listen to me, I am in a deep shit here." "Maca, please listen to me." "Shut up and listen to me!" ""I expected, I wanted, I planned!"" "You talk about your problems all the time!" "Can't I have a problem myself?" "I don't give a fuck for the beautician and the solarium!" "Please listen to me!" "I'm in the shit..." "I need some comfort, Maca..." "And a kind word." "Just that." "Well..." "That's it." "I'm going to call the cops..." "What are you counting?" " The shots." "What shots?" " I'll find out if you have any bullets left." "I do." "Are you sure?" " I am." "I bet the gun's empty." " Would you like to check?" "I would." "Come on, draw." "Make my night." "What are you doing?" "I'm going to beat the shit out of you." "It's loaded, I'm telling you!" " No, it's over." " I'll shoot!" "Do you know where I got the money for this motel?" "In Atlantic City, playing poker." "I've played for 50 years now." "And if I know anything, it's when to call one's bluff." "And I know how to run up a total." "OK, the gun's empty." "Why don't you just leave me alone?" "Because you're a loser." "Fucked by the math!" "Did you see it?" ""I wasn't honest." "I wasn't brave,"" ""And now I am forlorn and cold in my grave. "" "He's dead?" " Mycenae, 5th century BC." "I wonder what kind of book that is." ""The Book of Epitaphs"." "Poetical inscriptions on Greek and Roman tombstones." "Is that so?" "Fascinating!" "I've taught Classical Languages for 20 years." "Do the kids give you trouble?" " No, we get along very well." "Really?" " Would you like to hear my favorite epitaph?" ""I neither drank, nor had a wife, and I was ailing all my life. "" ""And now when I lie in my tomb,"" ""I curse my mother's bloody womb. "" "What does it mean?" "Nothing, just an epitaph." "Are you trying to fuck with me?" "No." "Does it have something to do with me?" " Not at all." "Give me the book..." "Give it to me!" "Acid?" " Concentrated." "How much is there?" "Quite a lot." "We can share." "There's enough for both of us." "You can get a substantial amount of money." "It's not clean, but it's substantial." "I now understand why you get along with your students." "You deal in drugs." "That man was dealing in arms." "The other one was selling false medications." "The chick was hired to kill him and the owner wanted to kill all of you." "What am I doing here, with you?" "!" "AII I wanted to do was to get some money from my father." "You'd probably like to see me dead now." "Why should I, for Heaven's sake?" "I don't mean you any harm." "Do you believe me?" "I do." "I am not the killer." "All of you thought I was, all of you wished I were." "But it doesn't matter." "I can't be the killer just because you wanted me to be." "Be yourself, not what the others say you are." "You are right." "You made a fine point." "You don't blame me for killing your wife, do you?" "Not at all." "That's life." "You can't do much about it." "Yes..." "I am not the killer." " I know." "And you believe me?" " I do." "No, you don't believe me." "You're just scared shitless!" "I am not the killer." " I know." "I'm telling you I'm not!" "You are not." "I am not!" " Sure." "I am not!" "I am not a killer!" "I am not!" "Good morning..." "Where is everybody?" "Who?" " I came with Milan." "There were some other people." "I don't know where everybody is." "I'm a bit confused myself." "You just arrived?" "Yes." "And there was no one here." "The place was deserted." "I thought I was dreaming when I came in." "It looked more like a nightmare to me." "Thank God at least you are here..." "Mind the floor." "It's slippery." "Somebody must have washed it recently." " In the night?" "!" "Don't be afraid." "It's the forest ranger." "He isn't dangerous." "He can't speak." " Se... seven..." "Seven little Indians played some dirty tricks," "One was struck by lightning... and then there were six." "Six little Indians tried to live and thrive, one tripped over a gun and then there were five." "Five little Indians were knocking at the door, the big bad wolf opened it and then there were four." "A nursery rhyme..." "What does it mean?" "Four little Indians had a jamboree." "One drunk himself to death and then there were three." "Three little Indians cooked an Irish stew." "One choked on a bone and then there were two." "Two little Indians, sat admiring the sun." "One got scorched, burnt and fried... and then there was one." "Flat!" "Just my luck!" " Who did it?" "The forest ranger, who else?" "He'd hate to be left alone here." "Don't you have a spare one?" " I do." "This is the one..." "We have to wait here." "As if we were on a deserted island!" " Yes." "We can help ourselves to a drink." "What are you going to have?" "A brandy." " The same for me." "Do you think he's left me?" "Who?" " Milan." "We came here together." "And he isn't there anymore." "Maybe." "Who knows?" "People come, people go." "Cheers!" "You talk like you know these things." " I do." "I wanted to get some money... to be able to live with a girl who I thought I loved." "A few minutes ago I found out that it was all in vain." "Why?" "It seems she didn't want to wait for me." "I see..." "I mean, I understand." "I don't think Milan and me are a lucky combination either." "What happened to you?" " Everything..." "You see, I thought I heard cries here." "That woke me up." "Your pills must be powerful." "They are." "It's Milan's choice." "He deals in medical drugs." "We do it all the time." "Whenever Milan approaches another woman, my stomach gets upset." "Then he gives me the pills." "I take them and fall asleep." "And when I wake up, my stomach still aches." "That's how it goes." "And now?" "Now?" "I'm all right now." "He isn't here and I feel well!" "Should I feel guilty about it?" "No." "I'm sorry." "I know that my story is quite sad." "Well, I'm sick and tired of laughter and jokes." "Would you like another drink?" "I could use one more..." "It was there, behind the bar..." "I think we should call the police." "We can't." "The line is dead." "I remember that the police were looking for somebody." "If the cops are looking for somebody, they'll find him." "We are safe here, Irena." " How do you know my name?" "You told me." " I didn't." "You forgot." " How did you know I was sleeping?" "I saw when you turned on the lights." "How did you know I took pills?" " You told me." "I didn't." " You did." "You just forgot." " I must make a call." "You can't." "You said you talked to your girlfriend." "Not on this phone." "What's the matter?" " Don't..." "Good morning." "It's you!" "What do you mean, me?" "!" " Where have you been?" "The cops are looking for you." "I've been waiting for you all night long." "You're the killer." "What killer?" "!" " This is your gun, isn't it?" "You planted it on me." " I am not a killer!" "This gun doesn't belong to me." " Admit it!" " What?" "You know what, creep!" "Admit it or I'll shoot!" "OK, I admit!" " You do?" "I admit everything!" " What do you admit?" "AII!" "Just put that gun down!" "Are you putting me on, motherfucker?" "!" "Just my luck!" " Yeah, luck..." "Since you can't offer me coffee," "I'll have something better than that..." "AII I wanted was some coffee, but now I'll drink your blood!" "Move away from him!" "You're about to suffer badly and you have my permission to scream as loud as you can!" "Don't worry, Irena." "The situation is under control." "Yes?" "The police?" "Mirko, is that you?" "Nemanja speaking." "Yes, I'm still here." "A good news..." "We caught the killer." "No, he isn't laughing anymore." "OK, I'll be seeing you." "One little Indian, he was in the run, the cavalry got him and then there were none." "None!" "None!"
