"Fixed by Radar" "OK" "Thanks." "Could you help me, please?" "Is this the same fish tank Marius has?" "No, this one is differnd." "What a weird looking fish tank." "Can you ask Daniela to feed the fish, while we're gone?" "No need to, we'll feed them before we go, and they're gonna be fine for a few days." "Did you take the toothpaste?" "Yes, and also the cotton swabs, I get more when we come back." " Do we have any soap left?" " Check in the drawer." "No we're out of soap." "I'll get you some, I'm going out to get cigarettes anyway." "Get Amo or Lux, don't get Palmolive, it gives me dandruff." "Could you also go to Petronela and get my hairdryer?" "You're packing as if you're going on vacation for a month." "Do you have any money left?" "Check my jeans, in the backpocket should be a wallet." "That's where you keep your money, in a wallet?" "It's better than having it crumbled up in your pockets like you do." "Close the damn door, I'm freezing." " Did you see Petronela?" " She was in the shower earlier." " Hot water?" " Yeap" " Petronela?" " She's not here." " Otilia?" " Yea." "What is it?" "The teacher noticed that you weren't in class on Thursday." "Didn't I ask you to cover for me?" "I told you what to tell her..." "I tried, but she said she heard that same story two weeks ago." " She said you'd better bring a waiver." " I will." " What cigarettes you smoke?" " Vikent." "Just a minute!" "Hi, did you get started already?" "It's wednesday, having the lecture later." "The "Thorn Birds" with Richard Chamberlain." "Gonna watch it tonight, stop by if you want." "I don't know, maybe," " How's Gabi?" " She's okay, a little nevois." " Give me a pack of Assos and a pack of Kent." " Kent no." "Where can I find some around here?" "I don't know..." "I got some Marlboros." "It's for Gabi, she wants Kent, give me the Assos and a bar of Lux." " Anything else?" " I guess that's it, thank's... yea Tic-tac, the orange ones." " That's on me." " Thank's." "If you change your mind, you're welcome to stop by tonight, Ramona is also coming." "I don't think so, thank's anyway." "They're so cute, are they yours?" "I guess they're mine now, I found them near the powerstation, you want one?" "I would, but Gabi's allergic to cats." " What do you feed them?" " Some left-overs last night." " I'll get you some powderd milk for'm." " Thanks." " Hello Girls!" "Otilia?" " Hello" "Can you tell Gabi that her dad called, and he's gonna be here around 10:00 tomorrow." " I'll tell her." " Thanks." " Your dad called, he'll be here tomorrow morning." " Shit." " Did you tell your parents about it?" " Tell them what?" "You're grazy..." "He's gets here around 10:00 a clock," "I don't know what to do about my exam." "You can just take it another day." "You think I should take some papers with me to study for the exam?" " I don't think you'll have time for it." " You're probably right," " Didn't you have some powdered milk?" " It's in the nestly coffee can." " How much do I owe you?" " 80.00 lei," "Here's the powderd milk." " Is it a girl?" " Yeap." " How much for the rexona?" " 50.00 lei," " Do you have any Kent?" " No, ask Radu." " how much for the shampoo?" " 25.00 lei," "Progesterol, is it any good?" "It's German licensend, made in Hungary." "How come you know about that?" "My cousin uses it, she likes it, I don't use it, I'm over weight already" "It's expensive, do a lot of people buy it?" "No problem, I sell it as soon as I get it." " I'm leaving, I'm gonna dye my hair red," " Really?" "I'm kidding, I have thin hair, and I use this hair rinse now, that makes it look fuller," "Hey, can you tell Petronela to bring back the hair dryer?" "She's taking an exam, I'll bring it to you later." " Bye,bye, good luck." " Bye." " When're you gonna meet Adi?" " At 11.00." " I think I'm getting a fever." " Take a couple aspirins." "I also have a tooth ache, I need something for the pain, Vial painkiller." "Check the first-aid kit, there should be some left." "You know, I also have an appointment with the dentist tomorrow." "You wont be able to keep the appointment." " Can I ask you for a favor?" " What is it?" "Can you handle the money part?" "You know, I'm not that good in making deals." "Sure, I'll do it." " Here's the money, count it." " 2700.00 lei, right?" "Yes." " I have a stomach ache." " Why don't you eat something." "I can't eat anything, I'm to nervois..." "You're getting all worked up over this, don't worry, it's gonna turn out fine." "Finish packing, I'll see you later, Bye," " Don't do this, it's a bad omen." " I forgot the address." "Stop being so superstitious, we're not living in the middle ages." "You know what?" "I'll take some notes with me." "Ok, bring them if you want." "Tickets please!" "Let me see your ticket." " Do you have a spare ticket?" " No." "Tickets please!" "Tickets please!" "Your ticket please!" "Excuse me, is Adi here yet?" " What're you doing, Studying?" " Yea perusing the abstracts." " Did your class start yet?" " No, we're late, they can't find the key to the classroom." " Stop, your classmates are watching us." " So what?" "I'm embarrassed..." "Listen, Adela asked me, if they can trade tickets with us..." "So they can go to Izvor, and we go to Costinesti instead." "Is it the same timetable?" "Not really it's about a 2 hour differnds, 15:22 for Costinesti, and 17:14 for Izvor," "My last exam is on the sixth..." "I go home for a week and then I'll be back." "I don't know, it's a bid complicated..." "Well, let's see what happends..." "Did remember about the money?" " Yea, right here." " Okay." "You're giving me 2 envelopes, why?" "I wanted to keep the money for the flowers separate." " No problem." " Ok." " 300.00, right?" " Yes." " I give it back when I get my scholarship." " Ok." "Are you hungry?" "You want me to get you something?" "My mom fixed lunch for me today." "She got up and made you lunch?" "After 8:00 am there's no gas, so she got up baked a merengue cake and made me lunch" " One thing..." " What?" "Please get the flowers for my mom." "I think I'll be stuck here all day." "I don't think..." "I can." "Something unexpected came up." "What?" "I'm not doing it on purpose..." "Are you telling me you won't be able to attend my mother's birthday?" "Don't be angry with me." "I am!" "..." "She's baked your favourite cake and you're not coming..." " You told her to make it for me?" " Yes I did... and that's what she did this morning." "I didn't plan this, it just happend." "Why are you doing this, please tell me why you can't come?" "... what's going on?" "I can't tell now, I'll tell you later," " Why can't you tell me now?" " Do you trust me, yes or no?" "I do trust you, I just don't understand..." "why you're keeping secrets from me?" "I'm not keeping any secrets from you, I just can't tell you now, I'm gonna tell you later." "Why are you making it such a big issue?" "Ok, if you don't think it's a big deal, then I have nothing more to say." "Please, I don't want to argue." "Who started it?" "..." "I asked you to get some flowers for my mom and you said you're not coming." " Okay, I'll come... somehow I get there." " Don't bother..." " Don't do me any favors." " Stop it, you want me to come or not?" "Lower your voices, this is a school, or leave the building..." "Please keep it down, ok?" "What kind of flowers you want me to get?" "Don't do anything." "How about carnations?" " Get some gladioles." " Gladioles?" "Yes?" " How many?" " 48." "One flower for each year..." "That's what I was wondering..." "No, then it's 49... don't get gladiolos." "How about if we make her younger, that should make her feel good, 47 instead of 49" "But who's counting anyway..." "You don't know my mother..." "Get 47 then... that should be good..." "Listen, it's not gonna be formal, is it?" "No nothing special, some friends of my father will be there, that's all." "We'll drink a glass of champaigne and then hang out in my room." "Ok, I'll be there, I'll manage somehow." " Be there at 5:00 sharp?" " Ok." "No delays" "Now you're pissing me off, I'm never late..." "Unless something comes up I have no control over," " Adi?" " Yea." "Did you bring the report cards?" "They won't let us in with out them." " Yes" " Ok, I'm leaving." " What time is it?" " Twenty past, do you need it?" "No, no, you keep it." "See you later." " Won't you give me a kiss?" " No, because you upset me." " Don't upset me anymore." " Same goes for you." " Bye." " Bye." "Where can I get some Kent cigarettes?" "Why didn't you tell me." "I would have got you some." " They're for Gabi." " You can get them in Unirea." " Where?" " Unirea, on the black market." " Bye." " Bye." "Hello." "What can I do for you?" "I have a reservation, under Dragut." "You have a reservation here, since when?" "It's for today... tonight, I mean." "When did you make it?" "Last Tuesday." "There's nothing here." "I know for sure, my friend made it, it was either Monday, or Tuesday." "Do you know who she talked to?" "No I don't, she made it over the phone..." "What was the name again?" "Dragut." "Sorry, there's nothing under the name of Dragut." "Listen, go find Nelu for me." "Maybe my colleague knows about it." "I told you it wasn't me who booked the room." "My friend called and she talked to a man.." "She called?" "She didn't come here personally?" "I don't know who she talked to, when she called." "Anyone can call." "Did you or your friend confirm the reservation, yesterday?" "Confirm it for what?" "I would really like for you to talk in a civilised manner." "The resevation has to be confirmed, at least 24 hours prior before check in." "The man she talked to didn't say anything about that." "I doubt if he didn't." "Nelu..." "No..." "It hurts." "There's someone here who claims you took a resevation for them yesterday." "Not yesterday, tuesday." "Or on tuesday." "Ok, what was the name again?" "Dragut." "Dragut, ha, that's a name allright." "Yea, thanks." "Listen, can you call me when the pay checks come in?" "Ok, fine." "Nothing, if a reservation was made It would show up here." "So, what do we do now?" "Do what now?" "Is anyone working in the shop?" "Just a minute, please." "We really need a room, please, can you do someting?" "Do what miss?" "A delegation from Bucharest checked in yesterday, we're completly booked." "Don't you understand?" "Anything at all, I don't care what it is." "Are you sure you speak the same language?" "It sure don't sound like it." "You have Kent cigarettes?" "Yes, 80.00 a pack." "We have a delegation coming in, I'll see what can do." "Ok, I can't talk anymore." "I call you back." "Bye, bye." "Yes, I'm listening." "Hi, I like to get a room starting tonight." "For tonight?" "Yes, please." "Everything is taken." "I don't care what kind of room it is." "Can you call Marcu here, please." "How many nights?" "At least 2 nights, but it could be longer." "Today... not really." "I can get you a room startig tomorrow," "But we really need one tonight, please." " How many?" " Two." " With a double bed." " It doesn't matter." " Yes?" " Get two coffees for that table overthere." "What kind, neckezol or ness?" "Just go, she'll know what to give you." "Just tell her it's for me." "So, can you help me?" "I have one reservation, that's still open..." "I don't really know, he hasn't reconfirmed the reservation, but still..." "Please, I'm begging you." "It's a double bed, did I tell you?" "That's fine." "Do you have an ID?" "You have a temporary address here." "Are you a student?" "Yes" "If you're staying at the student hostel, why do you need a room here?" "We're six in the room, and during exams it gets kind of crowdet." "Two people." "Yes," "We have another room with 4 beds if you'd like" "But if you don't pay for the whole room I have to let in someone else stay there too." " No need to, really." " It's better with 4." " No, thanks." " As you wish." " I can't make out the name, Miha..." " Mihatescu with a T." "You better get a new ID." "The Cops won't except this one." "I forgot and left it in my jeans when I washed them, that's why it's like this." "The other person?" "Dragut." "That's the actual name, Dragut." "It's also a female?" "Yes, she has that problem with her name at school also, Dragut... her first name is Gabriela." " 186.00 lei." " How much?" "186.00," "Excuse me, how much for one night?" "It's right there, double bed, 62.00 lei." "Can I pay for one night only?" "I already gave you someone else's reservation, if you don't..." "Ok, fine." "Checkout time is at noon, when you go out, leave the key here." "Ok." "Thanks you," "P 14." "Hello." "I don't know," "I'm not sure if she's still here." "Ok, let me check, will you wait by the phone?" "Gabriela?" "I got a room... but not at Unirea, at Tineretului instead." "She said there was no reservation, nothing." "I told them, but... that's the way it goes." "He'll understand." "Listen, the room costs a 186.00 lei." "It's a double bed." "I couldn't find anything else." "Why didn't you look for a room yourself?" "You're starting to piss me off." "Listen, find someone else to lend you another 200.00 lei." "You're a big girl, you'll manage." "Just go and ask around." "Go." "I'll leave the key at the counter, ok?" "Listen, how will I recognise this guy?" "Or how will he recognise me?" "Are you insane, Gabriela?" "How is he going to recognise me, when you gave him your description?" "You're something, you know that?" "Ok, I see what I can do." "Be sure you have your ID with you." "Bye, bye." "Excuse me, is this no. 24?" "Who're you looking for?" "I'm supposed to meet someone here, he gave me this address, Decebal, 24." "Did you see anyone waiting here?" "No." "Does a man named Bebe work here?" "Bebe who?" "I don't know, I just know Bebe, that's all." "I don't know, ask the guys over there." "I don't know anyone by that name here." "Excuse me, are you Mr Bebe?" "Miss Gabi?" " She couldn't make it, she's not feeling well," " My name is Otilia." "We agreed on the phone for her come." "I know, that's why I was afraid we wouldn't recognise each other." "I ask some people over by the ambulance place..." "Ask them what?" "If someone was looking for me, because I was 5 min. late and I thought I missed you." "Are we going in your car?" " Where is she?" " At the hotel... she's waiting for us..." "Don't slam the door." " Do you work around here?" " Why do you wanna know?" "I was just wondering..." "Is it okay if I smoke?" "Miss, let me explain something to you:" "I don't have anything to hide..." "I came here in my own car, you can take, down my license plate number, if you like... and one more important thing:" "I work with people in srict confidence." "I'm a pretty good judge of people, I can talk to a person and tell if i can trust them or not." "You can trust me, really." "She didn't feel good that's why she didn't come." "We tried to get a hold of you through Ramona, but she went home." "And we didn't have your phone number, so we couldn't call you." "It don't matter now, what's done is done," "What hotel is she staying at?" "At the Tineretului." "Listen, when I talk to Gabi, I specificly told her... to check in one of 2 places, either at the Unirea or the Moldova." "She told me, but both of them are completely sold out, there's a convention in town," "I was lucky getting a room at Tineretului, they had a cancellation," "Has your sister done this before?" "My sister?" "No she hasn't." " How old is she?" " 22, She'll be 23 in march." " That's just around the corner." " Yea." " Do you live together?" " Yes." " You're not from here, are you?" " No." " Where're you from?" " From Campulung." " Campulung... never been there..." " You didn't miss much..." " You live in an apartment?" " No, we stay in a hostel." "How you like it there?" "Not to much, it's to noisey and it's hard to concentrate..." " What're you studying?" " Polytehnics" "They won't place you in a small town then..." "Yea, that's for sure..." "I have to make a little detour to check on something." "Wait here, I'll be right back." "What're you doing outside?" "How many times do I have to tell you not to go outside when I'm gone?" "Why did you have to come outside?" "A supply of sugar came in and Miss Lancu ask me..." "Forget about the sugar, we don't need any..." "It's not for us." "I don't need any sugar, understand?" "I just don't want you come outside, you're driving me crazy." "It's the third time this month you left the key inside, and locked yourself out." "The wind slamed the door on me." "That fucking wind, huh?" "Here use my key, make sure you give it back, it's the only one I have." "Don't worry son, I give it back to you." "Why did you have to come outside?" "We got plenty of sugar... you know how quick you can catch a cold." "Miss Lancu ask me to save her place in line," "So why didn't she invite you inside... instead of just letting you sit out-here?" "Is she afraid you gonna steal from her?" " No, no..." " I'm gonna have to talk to her about this." "Now go back inside the house." "But I was keeping her place in line." "Forget about the stupid line, and go home." " Ok, I will." " Do it now, So I can watch you get in the door." "Do you want anything to eat?" "Just go home and forget about everything else." "Viorel, somebody called for you earlier." "Who was it?" "Did you take a message, so I can call back?" "Hey, where do you think you're going?" "My room 206, I checked in earlier." "Didn't anyone tell you to leave the key at the counter when you leave the hotel?" "My room mate's already in the room." " What room?" " 206" " Dragut Gabriela?" " Yes... she's already in the room." " What about him?" " He's visting me." "Didn't they tell that visitors have to check with the front desk?" "They just can't walk in?" "I thought that's after only 10:00pm..." "that's what your colleague told me," "You misunderstood." "If visitors stay after 10:00pm, they also will be charged..." "Visitors have to check with the front desk." "Let me see your ID..." "I'll keep it here," "You get it back when you leave." " 206." " Yes." " Gabriela?" " Yes..." "I'm here with Mr. Bebe." " Hello, Gabriela." " Hello..." "Come in." "Did you get the money?" "When?" "I didn't have time," " Would you like some coffee?" " No, thanks." " How about some cookies?" " No." "They're good, they're home made." "Sit down, please." "I'm glad you both met." "Brcause she went to meet you, instead instead of me," "Miss, I think we've started out all wrong." "When I talked to you on the phone, I ask you to do 2 things," "No. 1, get a room either at the Unirea or the Moldova." "No. 2, to come by yourself." "I told you this for a reason, not just to..." "I'm sorry, I know what you said, but that's the only place, we could get a room," "Miss, then you should have waited, untill they had a room at the other place," "Now, they have my ID, and know who I am," "I'm sorry." "Being sorry don't help, they still know who I am." "I didn't want to postpone it again," "How far along are you?" "I'm in my 3 month," "You told me 2 months on the phone." "When I talked to you on the phone it was 2 months, now it's three." "What's your blood type?" "0 positive," "Are you hypotensive?" "No..." "I don't..." "Are you allergic to anything?" "Just to cat hair." "Not to much." "Some redness around the neck, that's all." "Are you useing any anaesthetics?" "Miss..." "I'm asking because I don't know how it works." " A friend of mine who also..." " Interrupted that she was givin' anaesthetics?" "Have you ever had an abortion?" "Let's get something straight, I'm not here to rip you off." "We didn't agree to this, so there's no need for it." "I just place a probe in and a spontaneous abortion ensues." "Of course, there's going to be some bleeding, we have to be carefull with the haemorhaging... but there's no anaesthesia involved" "It wont hurt that much so there's no need for anaesthetics." "And we're not set up for it here anyway." "Anaesthesia is done in a hospital, not in a hotel room... and you have to remain still at all times when the probe is inserted." "You can't move it or take it out, I'm not gonna inserte it again." "It's one time and one time only, do you understand?" "How did you think it's going to be?" "I thought you where sure about doing this, when you called me." "I did, but..." "But what?" "Miss, this is not a game." "We all could end up in jail because of this." "And that's even worse." "We're not playing here, ok?" "Once we get started, there's no turning back." "Everything should be okay, once I place the probe, a little bleeding will occur, and you will expel the foetus." "And it's very important of how you act afterwards" "You also need someone to be here, because the haemorhaging may get bad." "And God forbid, if you spill blood all over this place we're realy gonna be trouble." "That's why I asked you to bring oilcloth." "I... forgot, I left it at the hostel," "You forgot and left it, that realy helps." "How about a plastic bag or something?" "I don't know." "And again, don't let anybody in the room... room sevice, maid, no one, keep the door locked at all times." "Do you know how long it'll take?" "I mean after you put the probe in... because we've rented the room for 3 days." "It depends." "It can take anywhere from 2 hours, up to 2 or 3 days." "It depends on on how your body will react." "What if I have to go to the toilet?" "Don't you understand, it'very important for you not to move or get out of the bed?" "If the probe comes out, we didn't achieve anything." "I'm not putting it in again, I told you." "That's why I told you on the phone, to have somebody here with you. a friend..." "When the contractions and the bleeding starts it doesn't matter then." "But until that time, you can't budge." "Also be carefull not to get infected." "I sterilize the probe before I put it in." "But afterwards there can accure infection." "The blood kind of favorises in the area." "I'll give you some ampicilin just in case." "Have you ever taken ampicilin?" "Yes" "Is there a possibility... that the foetus wont come out?" "Anything can happen, I told you, but 99% at the time it's successfull." "Forgive me for asking, but what if, God forbid, she passes out or gets a fever... or she loses to much blood, what do I do then?" "Do I call an ambulance, or do I call you?" "If you call an ambulance, we're all going to prison," "If you do call an ambulance, don't tell them she's pregnant," "But more likely they'll figure it out anyway," "Just say, you don't know what happend, She just started bleeding realy bad," "Nobody will believe you but it won't matter." "At least they'll be covered in their report," "Let's hope that we don't have to resort to the ambulance." "How is your period?" "Do you lose a lot of blood?" "Kind of yes." "Lie down so I can examine you." "Get undressed." "You can't leave." "Miss, how long did you say you were pregnant?" "3 months," "I'm going to ask you one more time and you better pay attention." "When did you have your last period?" "In december." "It was due on 20th." "It was due on the 20th but you didn't get it?" "No" "So the last time was... in november, right?" "Yea, I guess so." "Let's figure this out, november, december, january, february..." "How many months is that?" "But the last time was in december." "You have to figure it from november." "It may be a little over 3 months." "A little?" "It's way over 3 months." "Miss, I want you to concentrate." "What month are you?" "Because there is a different set for 3 and a different set for 4 months" "It could be the fourth." "The forth?" "Or the fifth?" "Miss, you better be very sure about this..." "It can't be the fifth, most likely it's the fourth, I have irregular periods." "You kind of playing with the months." "Could be fourth, could be fifth." "Do you realise after 4 months it's not an abortion anymore... it's homicide." "5 to 10 years in jail." "Do you know that?" "You better be damn sure about this." "I don't have a regular period." "Sometimes it comes... in 2 and a half months" " That's why I didn't bother." " Miss, please..." "You may not believe me..." "Well, I don't." "If you have irregular periods let someone else do it, not me." "That's how people are, they ignore the problem, and then come to me for help." "You want someone else to pay for your mistake?" "It's not me that had fun." "Miss, I don't know about this..." "It's to dangerous." "Who do you think will perform an abortion in the fourth month?" " Or the fifth or whatever it may be." " Please, I beg you." "Please, I beg you, but... everything in this world has a price." "But we're willing to pay you." "Oh, really?" "How much money do you have?" "Look, we had to rent the room for 3 days or they wouldn't give it to us otherwise." "So?" "We managed to get 3000.00 leis togather, after paying the room, there's 2850.00 left," "Is there a problem?" "Miss, did I say anything about money?" "Well, you didn't mention anything on the phone, so we asked Ramona, and that's what everybody told us." "it's around 3000.00 lei." "Ramona told you it's 3000.00?" "She said that's what she thinks it costs." "Then let Ramona do it, if that what she thinks it is." "Miss, do you remember when we talked on the phone?" "I said I was sympathetic and if you want, I can help." "Yes or no?" "Did I say anything about the money?" " You said we'll figure out something." " Yes, that's why I asked you to come alone" "So we can agree on every thing, right from the start..." "I'm not being judgemental for what happened to you" "Every one makes mistakes in life." "I didn't ask for your name... .. nor about the father of the baby, nothing..." "It's none of my bussiness." "I said I could help and as you can see, I have nothing to hide." "I came in my own car, my ID is at the front desk..." "If the cops show up, I'm the first one they'll bust." "So I'm risking my freedom..." "I'm also a familyman and have children" "I came here to see if I can be of help," "So you should return the favor," "That's how I see it." "Hold on, I don't think I quite follow you?" "I'm holding on, not going anywhere." "I think you're the one, needs to hold on." "What don't you understand about this?" "I think I explaint everything perfect, and I don't like to repeat myself." "Do you realy think..." "I risk 10 years in jail for a lousy 3000.00 leis?" "Is this what you both think?" "Do I look like some kind of Low-Life?" "That scrounches around in the dumpster?" "Look, while I'm in the bathroom, you get your heads togather, and think this over... and when I come out tell me what you've decided, and lets be honest with each other." "If not I just get my things and I leave" "You're the one called me and asked for my help, I didn't come to you." " God, I'm sick," " I can't believe what's happening." "Why did you tell him you're only 2 moths pregnant?" "That's what Ramona told me to say..." "Or he may not help me." "So that's what happend." "Why the hell did you wait so long anyway?" "What am I gonna do now?" "And we paid for the room already." "The room is your big concern now?" "Damn Gabi, you're realy pissing me off." "I told you many times to be careful, but not you, you know better." "I don't know what to do." "Don't worry, you don't have to get involved in this." "There is one thing to help me, and come with me and totally different to..." "Give me the money." "You tell us how much." "Is 4000.00 lie ok?" "4500.00, 5000.00 lie, how much do you want?" "Do you have that kind of money?" "Are just just talking for the hell of it?" "We can get it." "You can get it." "First you're telling me the room is to much, but now paying 2000.00 more is no big deal..." "Come on lady, who're you kidding?" "Where're you gonna get that kind of money?" " We'll borrow it." " Really?" "And how you gonna pay it back?" "That's our bussiness." " Oh, now you're getting tough with me." " I didn't mean that, I was just explaining..." "And how long will it take to get the money?" "At the latest by Saturday." "I'll have all of it then." " By Saturday you'll have all the money?" " Yes..." "Ok fine, if you say so." "So you call me when you have the money and I'll see you then." "No, please don't go." "I beg you to do it today." "The room is already paid for..." "How to do it?" "Is it you that is doing it?" "No... please forgive me, I meant for you to do it." "So, how are we gonna do this?" "Here's 2800.00 lei today and you I'll have 2000.00 lei more by Tuesday, I promise..." "Is that okay?" "You can trust us, we won't..." "Trust you?" "What trust?" "I don't even know you lady's?" "You can skip town on me." "You can get on the train tomorrow and disapiere." "How do I know?" "We wouldn't do anything like that." "You can hold my ID till then," "What am I gonna do with your ID?" "Look for you in the middle of nowhere?" "We're students here, we have no place to go?" "Look Sir please, I call my parents and have the money for you on Monday." "You're full of shit lady, you expect me to believe this?" " I'm telling you the truth Sir, but..." " But what?" "I think I explained everything very clear, and I don't like having to repeat myself." "Believe me, I'd give you all the money right now, if i had it, but I promise I'll get the rest..." "Lady, what the fuck you take me for?" "You think I'm some kind of fucking idiot?" "I eat cunts like you for breakfast." "The best assholes have tried to fuck me and didn't get away with it." "So you think you can put one over on me?" "Like I'm some stupid fuck... and you're the smart ass college broads?" "Fuck both of you and all your bull shit!" "Please, help me, please..." "It's my problem, she's just trying to help me, please let's do it today" "As you said." "What do you mean, as I said?" " Yes If you make mistakes, you got to pay for them." "It's all my fault, she didn't do any of this, I got her in to this, I hope you understand?" " I understand you very well." " She's not my sister," "I'm sorry I lied to you about her on the phone, she's my room mate." "So what?" "I didn't ask you who's sister she was?" "I think I made myself clear on that." "Yes." "That's the best I could do, in this situation." "What else could I do?" "My room mate is under no obligation..." "That's why I was telling..." "You don't tell me, you ask me, understand?" "And I told you then, that I can help you, and explained everything to you..." "If you didn't understand it, its okay, no one was forcing you." "I'm having my period." "What'd you say?" "Speak upI so I can hear you." "She said, she's having her period." "I'm out of here, I had enough of this bull shit." "Please, don't leave, please." "Ok, ok." "I'll get the damn probe and..." "And?" "So how you gonna do it?" "You think I was born yesterday?" "Excuse me..." "Can I get a cigarette, please?" "Thank's." "Lie down." "Fixed by Radar" " Are you giving me a shot?" " No" "What is it?" "Water." " If nothing happens by tomorrow, you can add some yourself." "Give me the probe." "Don"t be tensed." " When you feel something stinging let me know." " Did it sting?" " Yes." "When you feel it coming out, go and sit on the toilet." "because it comes out easier that way." "Give me the bandage." "Hold this." "Important, don't cut the cord until the fetus is out." "If it remains inside, it's a problem." "You just stay still until it comes out, OK?" "Sit still!" " Can I cover myself?" " Yes." "I forgot to tell you something important." "Don't despose of the fetus in the toilet, it may plug it up OK?" "Don't get any ideas and try to cut it up," "And don't bury it, because dogs can find it and dig it up." "You wrap it in a rag or a cloth, and go to the clost apartment complex... put it in a dumpster and cover it up, the bigger the complex the better." "Got it?" "Yes" "Check her temperature in the morning and in the evening." "If it stays around 37 to 38 degrees C, it's OK." "If it goes to 39 or above, give her a couple of aspirins and some of these." "I'll stop by either after 8:00 tonight or around 2:00 tomorrow afternoon." "No, you don't have to..." " You sure, I don't..." " No." "As you wish." "If something should happen and you need me, give me a call." "Please don't move untill it's done, OK?" "Any questions?" "OK, I'll be on my way." "Good luck." "Thanks you." "Listen..." "I'm realy curious to know..." "Why Ramona recommended this guy?" "Luciana had an abortion by him recently." "So, it wasn't her that had the abortion?" "No." "Then why did she recommend him?" "What if this asshole screwes up?" "Did she think she was doing you a favour, or what?" "She said this guy would do it even if the pregnancy was past 3 months." "Then why the hell didn't you tell this jerk the truth?" "I just thought it was better this way." "Really?" "Well, you need to stop thinking." "And next time if you gonna lie to somebody, at least let me know." "Why the fuck did you tell him I was your sister?" "What gave you that stupid idea?" "I was supose to meet with him, but I ask you to go for me instead." "That's why you told him I was your sister?" "I... what else could I say," "Why didn't you go and meet him yourself?" "Gabitza, are you with me?" "Why in the hell didn't you go?" "Because I was scared, that's why." "So you lied and told him your sister was coming." "I didn't want to..." "But you got me involved in your lie..." "I didn't lie to you." "It don't matter, it's over..." "I'm just upset, because of the stupid mistake that you made." "Things shouldn't have happend this way." "We should have gone to Miss Jeni, the one Dorina told you about." "I think it would have been better." "That's easy to say now, after the fact." "Remember what you said?" "It shouldn't matter if it's a man or a woman as long as it was cheap." "Did I say that?" "I said, let's do it where it's cheaper, right, but not that it didn't matter if it was a man or not." "It didn't even gross my mind..." "Do you think I did?" "God damn it." "If that bitch at the hotel kept my reservation, maybe this wouldn't have happened..." "What were you thinking, making the reservation over the phone?" "I told them I was from out of town." "You did?" "..." "Whatever." "Are there any cigarettes left?" "No." "This situation sucks." "Are you comfortable?" "Yes." "Does this thing hurt?" "It Stings a little." "It hurt when he put it in." "I have to go and meet Adi, it's his mom's birthday and I promised I'd be there." "You want me to turn on this lamp?" "No, it's fine like this." "Could you get me a glass of water and put it on the night stand." "I'll be gone for about an hour." "You want me to get you something to eat?" "No thank's, I'm not hungry." " You'll probably be hungry later." " No." "I have still some cookies." " I could bring some salad or cake from Adi." " Thank's, realy but I'm fine." "Ok, I'll see you later then." "Look, I'll leave the phone number here." "If you need anything, just call me." "You don't have to leave it, I don't wanna bother you." "I'm gonna call you anyway, but just in case you better have it." "I'm leaving, don't anwser the door, unless you know who it is... don't let anyone in." "When you're gone, what..." "What about the key?" "I'll lock the door and take the key." "Don't worry, you'll be alright, Bye." " Bye." "Miss." "Miss." "The man who came to visit you left his ID here." "Don't tell me that you forgot the flowers on top of being late?" "If you gonna talk to me like this, I'm leaving." "Why are you angry at me?" "you're the one who's late." "Good evening Otilia, I'm Alin's mother." "Happy birthday, sorry I'm late." "Thank you dear." "I'm so glad you came." "Come in and sit down." "Gina, do you have any pickles?" "Adi, you have to go and get some, please." "Hurry up, and get the pickles, okay!" "Can I use the phone, please?" "Good evening, room 206, please." "Gina!" "Otilia... this is my dad." " Your dad, what an introduction, no name?" " Otilia." " Nice to meet you." " Happy Birthday." "Thank you, Come in!" "Join the party!" "..." "let's have some fun." "Ady, why don't you get her some slippers." " No you don't have to," " Aren't you cold?" " You can take mine on..." " I don't need them, realy..." "Just go and get her my slippers..." "put them on and relax... don't be shy!" "Good evening." "Ella, this is Ady's girlfriend," " Hi Otilia." " Otilia, this is family Ruso, Ady's godfather." "Meet Mr and Mrs Aldea, they're both doctors, Dr Racoviceanu, his wife Mrs Adela Racoviceanu." "It has to be confusing trying to remember everybodys name." "We made room for you, sit here, please." "A patient came to see me, because he thought his prostate was acting up... so after an hour of extencive examination, the result showed it was all in his head." "You sure it was in his head, not in yours?" "I have to use the bathroom, please?" "Excuse me..." " The bathroom?" " - it's down the hallway." "Turn the light on, you need some soap?" "Something came up, and I have to go," "You just got her, and you're leaving!" "Did you wash your hands?" "I can't stay for dinner, just stopped by to say Happy birthday," "We wait till they open the champagne, then we go to my room..." "Why don't you take it easy and relax?" "I'm sweaty, my clothes are sticky..." "The soup's here." "Please, go ahead." "Go on, go." "What would everbody like to drink?" "Here's the bottle, pass it around," "What'd you like to drink?" "A wiskey?" "Vodga, yea hey..." "Adi, how about vodga!" "The meat balls are realy good!" "Here's some wiskey, help yourself." "No, I don't mind a drink, but not right now." "You're sure?" "Not even vermouth?" " Maybe the girl's on a diet!" " So what if she's on a diet?" "I'm not on a diet." "I understand you come from Galatzi county." "Galatzi city, actually." "You wouldn't happen to know a Dr Ivanov in Galatzi?" "He's a surgeon." "He's an excelent doctor," "No not realy, after I finished high-school, I went to the university here." "He was one of my students, straight A's." "His point average was 9.80, 9.90..." "That was in the old days, if you got a 7.00 in Anatomy you did great then." "Now they churn out '10.00' point average on a conveyor belt." "Even 10.50, I know a student who had a '10.00' point average untill his six'th year." "and the ASC... gave him another 0.50 that brought his average to 10.50, how about that?" "Don't forget the additional 0.25, when you start a family." "Maybe your son will get the additional 0.25 point average next year," "Look, he's blushing, ha ha." "Come on, leave my boy alone." "Are your parents also in the teaching profession?" "No, my dad's is in the military and my mom is retired, she's in bad health." "She was working when she was younger, but now..." "Sometimes, the kids from average familys are raised better, than the ones with higher education." "Not really, it also depends on the environment." "For instance take Dima, he's from the country, he got promoted by the..." "Workers Party because of his origin,and now he's a big shot." "Forget about that, let's make a toast instead, to a Happy birthday, happy birthday." "Can you turn up the volume, I wanna hear what the All-Too-Know program has to say." "Is this pork?" "It's difficult to prepare in a home," "Even as a small boy, Adi wouldn't eat... the pork, if he saw just a tiny bit of fat on his plate, he wouldn't touch it." "My Valentin did the same thing..." "and also did it with the soup... the lunch I made for school he'd give it to his friends if he saw just a little bid of fat... and the same thing happend... when I put chicken in his lunch box" "It used to make me so angry... because we weren't that well off back then." "And I had to stand in line for up to 3 hours just to buy the meat... for 2200.00 leis a pound..." "I think It's good if children learn a bid... of hardship at an early age, because no one's gonna do them any favours later on in life." "That is so true." "As a kid, I had to take care of the cattle after school, and I did my homework at night." "I know that situation real well." "There were 9 of us kids... and when mom put the food table, everybody scrampled to... to get some of the food" "I got my share and ran, bye bye" "But you managed to get yours." "If I don't make the mash potatoes like his mom does, he complains, he's so picky..." "You don't make them, like my mother, but I still eat'm..." " You like them." " Ok,ok they're good." "Now a days people are too spoiled." " I add some milk." " Me too." "And some water when I make the potatoes." "It depends what you're used to." "We didn't have any butter." "But my mother put potatoes in the polenta" "They taste's good that way." "We ourselves, we had differences with our parents when we were young." " Stop taking their side." " They take everything for granted." "Look at them, Hostel, scholarship, mom and dad feed them." "Man..." "When I went to college, I had a part time job, to pay for my room, my family didn't have the money to support me." "It's not like this anymore." "Think about the placements they do in medicine." " After they gratuate, they end up in some little town,." " What's the problem with the that?" "Myself I had to work for 8 years in Cotnari, it worked out fine..." "Please, have some more, don't wait for me to serve you, Doctor, what would you like?" "If girls aren't smart enough to marry while they're still in school... they end up in the some small town and marry either a teacher or a preacher..." "And the preacher is usually the biggest drunk in town." "Come on, there're some good preachers too." "Those are exceptions." "All of them have a nice home, colour TV, VCR, and if you wanna talk to one, they're busy." "Busy with what?" " Busy with preaching." " Busy watching TV." "We're going to the church this Easter." "They can arrest me if they like." "I don't care." "Who's going to arrest you?" "The preacher, ha ha ha" "Don't laugh." "Guess who I bumped into at the church?" "I saw him sneaking around behind the column's..." "Aurel went right up to him and asked him, why he was taking notes?" "'" "You did the right thing." "He looked at her suprised, and ask her, what she meant by that... and said, come on Aurel, I have no idea what you're talking about." "You know, my sister in law gave me last Easter egg dye from Germany." "And some marzipan." "It was a delight." "Last year all my eggs cracked when boiled." "I couldn't figure out what happened." "Mine came out fine" "If you used good paint I'm sure they were fine" "I use a bit of oil." "Makes them shine." "I use butter." "I don't have to use anything, the German paint does the trick." " I had yellow and green paint, and orange." " And blue." "No, I got blue from yellow and green." "After we use the paint, we share the rest with the neighbours." " Every year, we do this with friends and neighbours" " That's a good deed." " Would you like a cigarette?" "Go ahead, take one." " Thank you." "What school are you going to?" "Polytechnic." "When I went to school, girls went to medical school and boys went to polytechnic." "It's still the same today." "The adavantage of polytechnics is, that you don't end up in a small town." "It's not easy either, to spend your whole life in a factory." " You stay in a hostel?" " Yes." "How many of you to a room?" "Usually it's 4 to a room, but I got lucky, my room mate's uncle is the manager." "That's nice, you're a lucky girl," "Excuse me Miss, it's not very proper for a young lady to smoke in front of her boyfriends parents," " Julian!" " What now?" "I was 43 when my father passed away, and I never smoked in frobt of him." "Never!" "That's a good one, like he didn't know you smoked." " Adi, get the champagne from the refrigerator." " Of course he knew, but it was about respect." "The kids now a days, have no respect..." " Even my Valentin..." " What'd you mean i don't respect you?" "Well, that didn't come out right but..." "you know what I mean." "I, for one, didn't like for my son not going in the army..." "Why shouldn't he join?" "He should want to go, and learn what life is all about, because sooner or later... he's got to find out what it's all about..." "That's right, our son behaves the same way..." "I don't agree... you're saying, if you do 9 months they'll make you tough, and you'll come out a man?" " That's right." " I wouldn't tolerate for my son to suffer like that." " What for?" " You should see the ones that serve sixteen months!" "Poor guys..." " It also depends where you're serving." " Boarder patrol is the worst." " But it's satisfying" " No, no... the disciplinary batallion is the worst." " Yes, but that's not what we were talking about!" " No, listen here..." "We didnt't exempt Adi because his father didn't want to." "No, God forbid, his father has principles." "That's why he's studying chemistry now." "Chemistry is a good field, dear, I'll take him in as my assistant, and he'll grow to like it." "He'll stay at home for a year to study and he'll go then." "The army, only the army is the real school of life." " And i'm saying it again, the army is the only way to go..." " Here's to you Gina, happy birthday" "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." "happy birthday 3 times more... bop... bo... bop... bo... bop..." "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." "happy birthday dear gina..." "Congratulations, dear!" "Happy birthday!" "Gina, Cheers!" " Could I use the phone, please?" " Yea, sure." "Adela is on the phone..." "Okay, are you gonna tell me what's going on?" "You've been acting weird since you got here." "I don't think right now is the time for it." "Why wont you tell me?" "Because you probably wont like it?" "Let me be the judge, to see if I will or will not like it... so please just tell me what it is." "I helped Gabitza get an abortion." "That's why you needed the money?" "You realy think an abortion only costs 300.00 lei?" "Then why did you need the money?" "Don't worry, I'll give it back to you on Monday, and that will be the end of it." "One of my father's colleagues, a doctor, got 3 years detention for doing an abortion." "Let's me ask you this, what would happen if I got pregnant?" "Please, I use condoms..." "No really... it could happen, and then what?" "Look at me, have you ever givin' it any thought?" "No not realy..." "Just tell me, what would you do if it did happen?" "But you're not..." "Why don't you tell me, what would you do?" "Figure out something..." "You have no idea when I have my period, do you?" "It's sometimes this week... you know you always can come and talk to me..." "Always?" "Sure that's what you say now..." "and how do you know I'm not pregnant already?" "What are you saying?" "Since we've been togather, you always could come and talk to me..." "Take last Thursday, I told I needed to talk to you, you wouldn't take the time." "Remember?" "And you couldn't care less." " Why do you wanna talk about this now?" " Why not talk about it..." "You don't mind having sex, but you're not willing to talk about what could happen..." "Why bring it up now..." "I mean... you're not pregnant." "I just want to know... if I can depent on you." "Don't worry, if it happens..." "I'll handle it." "Yeah, right..." "What's that suposed mean?" "..." "Every time you ask me for help, didn't I help you?" "Do you have any idea, how many times I needed help?" "You don't, do you." "It's not my fault that you wont tell me!" "What do you want me to do, guess what your problems are?" "And the thing with Gabi, why didn't you tell me?" "I would have helped..." "Yea, sure..." "I can't even conceive the thought, about you helping with something like this!" "The important thing is, to make sure for you not to get pregnant, that's all." "Don't worry, I wouldn't count on you anyway." "I know for sure, Gabitza would help me." "Oh, and you think, that I wouldn't?" "I said, I don't condone abortions because it's dangerous and it's against the law..." "So, tell me, what would be your solution?" "I guess we'd get married..." "So that means... if I get pregnant..." "Come on, just stop it!" "I'd be spending the rest of my life, cooking mashed potatoes for you..." "Otilia!" "Did my parents and their friends annoy you, is that it?" "They annoyed me too, yes..." "But that's not the point..." "I know that you think my parents are simple uneducated people." "Did you ever hear me say that?" "Did I ever mention that to you?" "You didn't, but that's what you're thinking." "Actually, you did mention it once." "What did I say?" "Can I come in?" " I brought you some creme broulee." " Thank you." "Save some space for the merengue cake." "Why are the lights off?" "Could you please get me the phone?" "Look..." "I'm sorry if I made a mistake." "You know I love you and I want for us to be together." "Please get me that phone." "Look, I appologized." "You say you're sorry." "Do you know what you're sorry for?" "Go on tell me." "Tell me, if you know what you're sorry for?" "I see you're upset, and I don't want you to be upset because of me." "If I made any mistakes, I didn't do them on purpose." "I want for us to be togather, OK?" "Until I get my placement and get send to that area, until then?" "Is that it?" "I asked you not to touch me now." "Come on let's work it out..." "Let's go on a trip, just the two of us, let's spend some time togather, and stop the fighting, okay?" "Please, get me the phone." "Could you please give me some privacy, so I can talk to Gabitza?" "It won't take long." "Good evening." "Room 206, please." "Could you tell me, did anybody go up to 206?" "...Mihatescu, I talked to you this morning." "No, no, you don't have to go up..." "Thank you." "I realy have to go." "What is it, is something wrong with Gabi?" "Stay just for 5 minutes, they're cutting he merengue cake now." "I'd like to, but I really can't." "Sorry, realy I am." "Can you tell your parents " Good bye" for me..." "What do you want me to tell them, why you left?" "I realy feel shitty about this whole thing." "I'm sorry... good bye." "Please, you don't have to walk me out." "Go inside." "I'm taking the stairs..." "the elevator is taking to long." "Good evening, room 206 please." "Your ID..." "You've seen my ID, I showed it to the receptionist earlier." "I need to see it again." "I left it's upstairs." "Call the room, have her bring it down." "I called the room earlier, and she was sleeping." "I'll be right back, I don't want to wake her." "Why don't you have your ID on you?" "I just went out to get cigarettes and I ran in to a friend of mine, that's all." "You went out..." "Yes..." "I'll be right back with it." "Gabitza?" "Gabitza?" "What's wrong?" "Why didn't you pick up the phone?" "It worked... it's in the bathroom..." "I'll get it and dispose of it." "You should be glad." "Do you have a bag?" "A plasic bag anything I can use?" " Will this do?" " It's too small." "Burry it, ok?" "Do you promise?" "Don't worry, I'll handle it." " You'll be back, right?" " Yes, lock the door." "If the receptionist comes, tell'm I went downstairs." "Do you know at what time the last bus is running?" "In about an hour, I guess, I don't realy know." "Any cabs around here?" "You won't find a cab in this neighbourhood Miss." " Thanks." " You're welcome." "Gabriela!" "Gabitza!" "Gabitza!" " What's going on?" " We're having a wedding reception here." "Your friend is waiting for you at the restaurant." "She's waiting for me at the restaurant?" "Yes, she came downstairs 5 minutes ago." "Go the other way, because there's the wedding in here." "Thank you." "What're you doing?" "I didn't know where you were." "I got hungry." "I think I have a little fever." "Did you take some aspirins?" "I took an ampicilin." "Did you get rid of it?" "You know what?" " We wont ever talk about this again, ok?" " Ok." "Are they serving anything at this hour?" "Yea, he'll be right back." "What's all this?" "It's the menu from the wedding: beef, pork, liver, bread-crumbs, brain." "Could you bring a bottle of mineral water, while I make up my mind?"
