"The man was drinking cognac to honor my death." "And the flowers?" "The flowers are from the dream, too?" "Yes, I suddenly woke up with a bouquet of carnations in my hands." "But how do you know?" "The carnations from my wreath." "You don't know how to tell a tale, you have no imagination." "I don't?" "And what can be done about it?" "I tell you if you give me the winning horse." " There you go again!" "No, this it's the only thing I could come up with these past two days." "Say it!" "Eight!" ""Winner horse number seven, Horrible"" "Seven!" "Horrible!" "I lost!" "Very good." "Starting tomorrow we are shooting together." "From tomorrow, we will revolutionize advertising movie." "Read more concentrated." "Have you never read a book on the street?" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Let it go mister, who's watching this traffic movie?" "It's enough that the two of us are looking, right?" "You are too conspicuous!" "You have no grace!" "You have no grace; you don't know how to cross the street with grace." "You're watching the sky as if a helicopter would come down to crush you." "Didn't the great Stendhal say that a woman's genius" "Din how she crosses the street from one sidewalk from another?" "I'm not brilliant!" " Be!" "Next week we're shooting in Brasov." ""Grown men!" "You only watch for cars at intersections!"" "I liked it very much!" "It's great!" "The movie is very touching." "We never had such a manner in popularization of the traffic law." "As for the comrade, I foresee a bright future." "Ruxi, a gentleman is looking for you!" " What gentleman?" "I have to go!" "I think it's the gentleman from 10 days ago." "What's with you, mister engineer?" " Can we have a word?" "Yes, but... what time it is?" "At 8:12 I have a train to Brasov." "You have 48 minutes." "You won't be late." " As long as I won't be late... go ahead!" "You followed me, you looked, and you inquired." "No, I'm sick of inquiries." "They died, didn't they?" " Yes." "You lie!" " How do you know that I'm lying?" "You said yes too quickly, "Yes"." "Did your parents die? "Yes"." "Too fast." "You come to give me elocution lessons?" "I'm listening!" "No, it's quite a small problem." "Why didn't look for me?" "Why are you caring if you already know I'm a liar?" " Out of curiosity." "If a man loses his curiosity, then that man is dead, right?" "You talk like Voltaire." "That's Einstein." " Hmm..., Einstein?" "Einstein!" "So what if it is Einstein?" "As long as he said it well." "Why didn't you look for me?" "Why didn't you look for me?" "Aw, what are you doing, you trying to kill me?" "Yes!" "Why should I be looking for you?" "What was between us so I would look for you?" "Exactly, it was nothing between us." "You should have told me." "I won't look for you anymore, there was nothing between us." "At first it was a farce." " Well, I was alone." "When I'm alone..." ""I don't get bored"." "Ok, right, right." "A farce to which you responded." "Isn't it?" "That's what it is, "responded"?" "Then a theatre, a confession, an insistence, a head on my shoulder." "It's a gesture of mine." "You are emotionally impaired." " You are." "You have some sort of a positive hero." "Is it that bad?" "Aah, the suitcase won't close!" "Will you help me to close it or not?" "Yes." "Yes, me." "What?" "You were looking for me before?" "No, no, I wasn't told." "No." "Yes." "Come to the studio..." "Yes, yes, I know, I know." "I'll be there in 30 minutes." "But this isn't a farce." "Yes, I'm coming, I'm coming." "Madam, your luggage will be ready in 2 minutes." "You know, we are not going to the train station." "First we'll go elsewhere." "Does it frighten you... my new decision?" "A positive hero doesn't get scared of anything." "I'll be honest." "I started filming and..." "I forgot all about you." "Thanks." "I think this is the first time you wear lipstick." "Second time." "Ah, with you people must be exact." "It's awful!" "I have too much charm!" "I'll suffer." "I... of charm; you... of thinking." "May I?" " Are you driving?" "Yes." " Will you accompany me?" "Where?" " You'll see." "Among traveling birds, crossing the lands, Who ever ill drown them, the waves, the winds?" "Driven by either luck or ideals, They follow you everywhere, the winds, the waves" "Incomprehensible remains the though which crosses the songs, Forever flying nagging the winds, the waves." "Your name?" " Ruxandra Vancu, I'm in the fourth grade." "So." "Ruxandra tell us, do you love Eminescu?" " Sure, sure." "And what other poets do you like?" " Vasile Alecsandri." "Vasile Alecsandri." "Very nice." "But what do you want to be when you grow up?" "What ever teacher Radulescu says." " And what does teacher Radulescu say?" "That's enough." "Lights!" "So this was our comrade Ruxandra Vancu at 9 -10 years old." "At 9 years old." " As seen on our in our pioneers archive." "The ideia is to connect this sequence with Ruxandra Vancu today... under the title "Meeting with heroes"..." "Meeting with heroes." "Perfect, thrilling, really!" " Where we can find you to get an interview?" "Can't you get one now?" "No, we need a background..." "where are you learning?" "I... make traffic movies." " Ah, traffic..." "Do you have any prejudices towards this sort of art?" " I know, I know, but... sim!" "What's going on there?" "What are you waiting for?" " I have something urgent regarding crane migration." "Why aren't you helping me?" " How?" "The truth is that I wanted to study chemistry, but I..." "I changed my mind." "You know, there are so many things to do because nothing that is human... no?" "How do you say it?" "Sometimes I think that 3-4 careers would fulfill my life, right?" "A multilateral woman..." "today." "You think that... if... it would be so... is it bad for a woman?" "Should we need you... we have your number." "We'll call you." "They won't call; you'll see that they will not call me!" "They won't call!" "So what if they don't call you?" "I was so nice at 9 years, why shouldn't everybody see me?" "We'll go somewhere to dance." " And the train station?" "I have another train later." "I want to dance now." "Why didn't you say something there?" " Let me think why." "I was looking at you." " And what did you see?" "What I was doing when you were 9 years old." " What were you doing?" "I wasn't pretty at all." "Without you I would have never seen a restaurant after the rain." "Where is your phone?" " We have a pay phone but it's jammed." "Do you have some change?" "What if he's home?" "What if he left?" " He didn't leave without me." "Give me an ideia." "What should I tell him?" "You'll see he'll start yelling again." "Tell him the truth." "Tell him you are with me." " That would be stupid." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Ruxi, is it you?" "Ruxandra, is it you Ruxi, answer!" "You saw that he is at home?" "I couldn't talk to him." "I was afraid." "Come on, you call him." "Please." "Right." "And what should I tell him?" "Tell him that... you held me back." "That... you came to see me... and... you asked for an hour for... a declaration of love." "No, no, for a proposal." "And you said no!" "Why did you refuse, of course?" " Sure, sure." "Why did you say no?" "You know he'll ask." " Because I can't live without him." "Good, good." "What's his number?" "Are you really calling him?" "You are a wonderful man." "What did he said?" "He'll be waiting for you tomorrow at the movie set." "Ohoho, bravo, bravo." "I'll take you home, right?" " Yes, I am so tired." "You were great tonight." "You barged in the house like a madman and you behaved like an angel." "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "Are you gonna call me?" "Why should I call you?" " Because I need great people around me." "Good night." " Good night." "Bye." "Ruxi!" "I was almost forgotten." "Ruxi." "You should know that I didn't speak with Paul." "I called, but no one answered." "Did you dial a wrong number?" "Talent." "Talent is an open wound around which germs swarm allthe time, which draws germs." "To be washed daily, cleaned, shaped, otherwise..." "No wound is infected as easily as talent." "And soon it desgraçadizes, you never know when." "Talent is always lesser than germs." "There are a lot of germs;can't do anything about." " But what do you mean by germs?" "Envy, sloth, lies, concessions." " What is...?" "Concessions?" "How do you say it...?" "I think she is here." " Ruxandra!" "Ruxi!" "Ruxi, where are you?" "Ruxi, can't you hear me?" "Come on, get out of there!" "Stop fooling around; you're not 10 years old anymore!" "Come on, I won't do anything to you, stupid!" "I've waited 2 hours for you at the train station." "Why didn't you come?" "Come on, don't be macabre, you're scaring me!" "And no pep talks!" "Come on, laugh!" "Why weren't you at the train station?" "Princess Beatrice of Netherlands is marrying." " Why didn't you tell me?" "Why?" "Why?" "Why?" "I've only heard questions since I was 12 years." "Couldn't you ask without why?" "Just like in court: guilty or innocent." "Are we leaving tonight or not?" "Foot over foot." "You're just like him." " Him?" "Which him?" "You have the same gestures." "It like you two are like a carbon copy, you're more stupid than the last engineer." "Well, I'll tell you the truth." "He came here to propose to me." "He asked me not to go anywhere, to give him an hour, so we can go to the Corso where he could persuade me to be his wife." "And?" " I give him the hour." "And?" "We went to a restaurant on the lake." "It was a cool evening, the orchestra played only for us." "We danced alone... he was very nice..." "What an imagination, you are unbelievable!" "Imagination?" "There was a phone booth next to the park." "I dialed the number myself." "He called you and you didn't answer." " You're Lying." "What do you mean Lying?" "I have witnesses." "I can give you..." "You lie, lie, lie!" "You yell because you fear that I said yes." " I yell because I pity you." "No one called me;" "He's not an idiot, what the hell!" "What are you talking about?" "You think you've gathered all the intelligence in the world?" "Find out that he is smarter than you, if you want to know." "He is a little stupid, because he suffered, and he works very much, but he is honest." "I never caught him with a lie." "He is very serious and any woman..." "Hello?" "Serban?" "Good evening!" "Ruxi!" "Sleeping?" "0ºo!" "Why don't you take a Tylenol?" "Tylenol is very good." "Um..." "I wanted to laugh at you." "You're awful!" "I don't want to see you anymore!" "No, no, no, today I'm three times happy!" " What do you mean by happy?" "I don't know, I really look forward to tomorrow, to..." "For me happiness is idle talk." " It can be, but be careful:" "This morning I fought for one hour at the Universal Library for a "Baudelaire par lui-même"," "Then I met you..." "Out of the blue, accidentally, just as I like to." "And last night I read until 2:00 AM the most beautiful story of my life, Faulkner." "You like the old man?" "Be careful, be careful: an American farmer, setting out into world to make his fortune." "And he returningwith a ship, his." "He bought a ship." "With sailors, with sails, with everything." "He berths on an US shore." "Are you paying attention?" "Pay attention!" "This is a story to die for." "You weren't paying attention." "If you were, you would be crying." "Last night around 2:00 AM I started to cry." " You are talking like in the books again." "I'm bookish, right?" "I'm bookish!" "We all talk like in books, but we don't realize it." "Where did you enroll?" " Goodfor you to remember!" "I haven't seen you for 3 months and..." "you're beating around the bush." "Theatre school." "Theater school?" "I thought you wantedto do chemistry?" "Aaa, I changed my mind." "I had a crisis and I changed my mind." "And you fell!" "But do you have any talent?" "What do you think?" "I've already done a traffic film." "Ruxi, you want to make any debut?" "You are not allowed Ruxi!" "If you want to succeed you should wait much, much more." "And then bang!" "The hit!" "A big hit, everybody will be astonished, the critics and the public, Bucharest-France." "If you'd like..." "Ruxi, you're not allowed to fool around!" "You must... despite how much I read I'm at a loss for words to..." "Don't exhaust yourself Ruxi!" "It's a crime when you have talent." "Stop it Mircea!" "No offense, but you're very, very boring." "You're like a Don Quixote." "Don Quixote?" "And you consider this a rebuttal?" "Find out that Don Quixote was the most beautiful character..." "Enough, Mircea!" "Shall we get the check?" "I was looking at him and I was happy." "He was the top of our class." "He tutored me in mathematics." "And after each equation he tried to kiss me." "Until I hit a smacked him one day..." "Afterwards he could no longer look at me." "We met out of the blue on the boulevard." "He was very boring." "And I happily listened to him." "Where did the best in class end up and where I got to." "Tell me, am I a boorish girl?" "Whatever you says, I'm not a boorish girl." " No, not at all, Ruxi." "You know, I like you even when we fight." " Especially then." "I was stupid." "Stupid?" " Yes." "You were awful!" "You know Ruxi, God save you from my crises of humanity." "Yes, you are very funny." "But who's paying the price?" "Ruxi!" "Paul!" " Yes." "Why aren't you always like this?" " How, so?" "Like that!" " Calm?" "More sentimental?" "Well - no, no kidding." "You know, I thought these days that sentimental people are tougher." "They die later than... yes... than those... "not"." " Those "not"?" "Is that what you've been thinking?" "Me with my own mind." " You with your own mind?" "Yes." "Who is it?" "Who is it?" " My I talk with mister Paul." "What, he's not home?" "The landlord told comrade Paul to get both the small and large ones from the attic." "I'm not getting anything!" " She said that she needed the attic." "I'll set the house on fire!" "I'll break the windows!" "Leave - me alone!" "Close the door, Ruxi" "Don't mess with her, she is worst that the IAL." "What's going on?" "How easy you turn from a mood to another." "I ran in your shoes." "You know, only small children are doing this." " So what?" "No, but... it's not nice to contradict." " I like it!" "Sometimes it's the only proof that I exist." ""We should be born old, to come in wise, to be able to"... what's next?" "How do you know that?" " I know everything!" "Who is it?" " Me again." "Mister, did I tell you that I will set the house on fire?" "Mister, she told that if you want a museum - house, you should die first." "Come and take the large one, I'm bringing the small ones now." "What, is she crazy; she's moving in the attic?" "What does she want?" "What are you doing here?" "I told you I will set the house on fire!" "Before you set the fire, go get the large ones too." "What's this, Paul?" " An owl!" "Andthis?" " Napoleon's valet's skull!" "An ideal found in Dead Sea." "Andthis?" " Me." "Me, thinking." "Me thinking..." "Napoleon..." "An owl." "They are extraordinary" " They are excrecable!" "They have a unique power." " Stop the crap;" "I didn't take you to an exhibition." "Why aren't you opening an exhibition?" " I do not want an exhibition!" "I want to raise sculptures, big as nature." "As Paciurea." "Have you ever seen Paciurea?" "No." "I think you're afraid of someone." "Who?" "Just the one that I'll be in 10 years." "I think you're afraid of critics." "Nothing is as scary as it seems." "I tried." "It's impossible." "Impossible." "I've been coming here every night for the last 5 years, and I cannot finish anything." " What didyou say?" "I cannot finish anything." "E, I understand, don't you think that I don't understand." "But you are too exact, that's it." "You should make a concession or two." "To whom?" "To whom do I do concede to?" "Can you make concessions in a traffic movie?" "No, not even there." "You're too stubborn." " For sure; why are you sorry?" "Because you'll fail." "In fact, maybe failure not even exists." "Nobody fails today due to exigency." "Maybe just laziness..." "Or... who knows why." "To keep your faith in yourself you need as much strength as you do to craft a masterpiece." "We are strong because we have masterpieces." "Yes." "Ah, hello." "Let me tell Paul too." "Listen, Adriana is asking us the visit her." "No." "I'm not in the mood." "Is anyone else coming?" "No one else is coming." "Be calm, really." "Learn to regenerate." "We'll be there in half an hour." "Right, bye." "Really, it's quite silly to always feel like the world is about to drop on your head." "Not always." "But occasionally it is necessary." "Hello." " Good evening." "Still pessimistic, still pessimistic?" " Ah, my woe is me, but why?" "Hello Paul, how are you?" " Good evening." "Allow me to introduce you." "Professor..." " Nice to meet you." "Do you care for a drink?" " No thanks, I have one here." "Ah, right." " Allow me to introduce:" "Virgil Lascu, scenarist and playwright, Petrica Alexiu, the Buftea news reel." "I'm honored." " Second director." "Friends of mine." "I heard that you started doing commercials." "You are making progress." "Mister, do you have any plans?" "The biggest commercial hasn't been made yet." "You heard wrong, I'm not." " How come, I've just paid a fine for my Fiat." "Really?" " And the traffic department threatens use that after Mister Paul Manu masterpiece, we won't have traffic accidents anymore." "Don't you think the sublime in art is to radically improve traffic?" "Anything may become sublime in art." "I don't make any traffic film." " Good that you came." "A new crisis of humanism?" " No." "Paul, you could have an admirable career." " I shot 10 films for 2 careers." "That's plenty." "Do you wanna dance?" "Were you serious?" " Yes." "So, so, a new crisis." " No." "I'm tired of compromising." "To me, to you, to everybody." "And what if I'm tired of you?" "You would have no interest." "You think that I'm with you from interest?" "From the moment I said that I won't be making any more traffic movies, you've grown pale." "Do you think I can't find someone else?" " You're pale." "You're Lying." " You're very pale." "And you're shivering." "Don't stop, don't stop." " Ruxi please, stop fooling around." "It's an old record, before the divorce." "That's it." "This is the loser's anthem!" "The loser's anthem!" "Just like any baby has a potty under his bed, any candidate for failure has under his sofa a tape recorder, on which he should record not poems or speeches, nor confessions, but this aria, the stupidest in the world." "He wants to die; he wants us to kill him." "No, we the toreadors have..." "And we run in our house's attic, there we begin tocount the statues, and sculptures." "Large sculptures, small sculptures, the most awful sculptures on earth, with whom we wanted to overthrow the world, but have forgotten them in the attic, so that the bull believes us to be toreadors, not artists." "The bull is on the stairs, we hear him." "And then we fall on our knees, Lord, Lord, no, no, we are atheist." "Yet we pray, cowards, frightened, stupid heads to hearus and cry." "To think is worth today as much as masterpiece." "To have a deep sense is to create." "The bull breaks the door, only the sculptures flinch; he stabs us with his horns, foolish girls, who love us, begin to cry." "Foolish girls who love us, start to cry." "Formidable performance." " What about her?" "Honey!" "My little one!" "Extraordinary, bravo, bravo!" "Yes, right." "Just a second..." "Friday you're coming for auditions at the studio Buftea." "You are coming on stage at Negulescu." " Are you serious?" "At 11:00 AM you'll be there." "Are you at the Institute?" "No." "Very good, very good." "You're avoiding the Institute." "You prefer an inner discipline." "Dear Paul, I didn't even know what kind of artist grows near you." "You are a true Pygmalion." "Paul!" "Paul!" "Paul!" "But I was joking!" "I was joking!" "And nobody knows where Paul Manu could be?" " I have no idea." "He said... he is filming..." "What do you figure about that?" " I..." "I do not figure anything." "Right, clear the scene, Paul Manu is no longer shooting; we're filming "Margarine"." "Miss, imagine that you've just received bad news." "What bad news?" "I was joking." " Let's say that your father, experienced skier, wascaught by an avalanche." "How would you receive this news?" "No, act sober and modern, because we don't have..." "And then, all of a sudden, I come to your house and I tell you that it was only a farce, an error." "Your father lives." "How do you react?" "Was it a joke or a mistake?" "Those are two different acts, aren't they?" "I need to know." "Perfect, perfect." "Let's say that it was an mistake." "No... no... no talk, no talks miss." "Act." "Good, good, very good." "And if it were a farce?" "A farce?" "Casting actors one, scene one." "More." "They are going to bury her." "But only found her skull, feet and hands." "I'm leaving." "I'm going to send the letter to Puiu." "You're lying, you didn't write to Puiu." "You're you afraid of Isabel's death." "You're not interested?" "I can shut the TV off, right?" "Hello, Serban." "Hello." "Hello!" "Hello, Serban." "Don't hang up." "Don't hang up!" "Do not hang up; otherwise I'll call you all night long." "You still won't stop with the farces." " This isn't a farce." "I need to talk to you." "When?" " Now!" "I'm leaving." " No, now!" "Don't you hear that I'm leaving?" " I'm coming to the train station!" "I'm going by plane." " Good, I'll come to the airport." "I told him what I really think." "He couldn't take it." "I don't accept losers, weak people who can not standto face the truth." "But can you face the truth, "Miss in green trench coat", which does can't even bear her own solitude?" "Yes, I can't bear it, I can, 't bear loneliness;" "I can't." "I wish you a good dose of solitude." "You are the only serious man that I've met in my life." "This isn't a compliment either for you or for me." "I know, but I'm waiting the outcome of a casting at Buftea for a movie." "I'm not allowed to fail." "You must keep your fingers crossed for me." "And where is he?" " I do not know." "I'm not interested." "You must keep your fingerscrossed." " I know, but I..." "Do you want me to tell you where he is?" "He is in Constanta." "I met him there 3 days ago." "I drank a whole night with him." "He's wandering the seaside to settle a statue of Eminescu." "He won't succeed!" "Ah, yes, he will." "There are some things about which I'm always right." "You hurt him too deep for him not to succeed." "He needed a hit." "He got it." "This is all I wanted to tell you:" "I will not be broken down!" "To succeed in life it's not enough to be a charming girl." "I'm hungry." " We have exceptional carp brine." "An exceptional carp brine." " I'm hungry." "I'm hungry." "I'm hungry." "Want a sparkling water?" "Yes." " Tell me please, that gentleman, the pilot who drinks with his friends at times... very cute, how is he?" "Mister Atanasiu?" "He had a heart attack the day before yesterday in steam bath." "You know well that I played main roles too." " What you do in "The Dacians"?" "In "The Dacians"I had a supporting role..." "Attention!" "Attention girls!" "For the Ancuta character, there were 28 candidates..." "Charming, I must emphasize, all charming!" "Of course we can retain only one." "The role being... yes?" "." "I'm convinced that we will meet again." "The doors aren't closed to anyone." "I know that in every one of you sleep a Greta Garbo or a Bette Davis, but right now we are only dealing with those in which the talent is sleepless." "If we were to think that one of the most important facts... therefore we stopped on Miss loana Sandu, which I ask to stay in the studio." ""To succeed in life it isn't enough to be a charming girll"" "A no, I mean, I understand you miss, but I have to emphasize that art has nothing to do with despair, or impatience..." "Ah, me, dear me, but what's happening Miss?" "During casting or at least on that night you seemed so intelligent, can it be?" "I don't know, I haven't cried for years, but today, I don't know, I'm crying for the second time!" "It happens, it happens..."
