"The race matters for the European Championship coefficient 2" "The Peace and Friendship Cup" "National Championships of Romania and Bulgaria." "Team number 1..." "Attila Ferenjancz/Janos Tandary from Hungary, on a Renault 5 Turbo." "1,400 cc" "That multiplied by a 1.4 coefficient, because it has a turbocharger, so the fuel is forcely induced by turbo, can reach a conventional displacement of nearly 2 liters." "Consumption is around 35-40 liters of petrol per 100 km." "Competition number 2" "Bulgarian team Ilia Tchoubrikov/Nikolay Kazakov." "Concluding, I must note that:" "it's a Dacia 1410 Sport engine." "It's all right." "Ready!" "You may go!" "Thank you for the invitation Mr. Arghir." "I had no alternative, rather than find out from others..." "Ah, so you decided to make confessions." "Weren't you looking for a hero?" "I get it, you found him yourself." "Where through?" "We cut the route and exit ahead of them at the shore." "You may get down anywhere." "I'm coming with you." "Meeting points should be in the most difficult places." "I'd like to know a few details about the new team also." "The stages measure 361 km." "Of which 215 gravel and 146 tarmac." "Competition number 13, team of the Piteºti Automobile Plant on a new type of sports car:" "Dacia 1410." "The team is formed of engineer Ion Aprigãþeanu the well-known driver of the Dacia Automobile Plant." "I'm sorry." "Even with a two hours neutralization with such kind of crossing you never know..." "I know, we deserve to be scolded, but we didn't mean it." "We had no alternative..." "You deserve a fine." "And that wouldn't be enough." "You should get down from the boat too." "You can't do that to us..." "For us every second matters." "Allow me to introduce you one of the best mechanics of the Dacia Plant." "And also a great pilot." "My team mate, who wants so hard to be the winner." "So..." "Please excuse us captain." "But what if it was a mean one?" "Well, you are kind and will forgive us." "And how is you race?" "Hm..." "Reasonable..." "Good luck." "Cheers!" "A brave girl..." "She told me before the start this is the first time in her life when she doesn't want to lose." "Can you understand anything?" "Somehow." "You know..." "I'd like to do a portrait reporting of her." "Who is she in fact?" "She's Thasica." "I took it!" "I took it, I was admitted!" "Well done!" "..." "Thasica..." "This is the first time I am leaving so long form home." "I think I'll only be able to come on holidays." "Thanks." "What are you planning to do?" "To me it's equal." "I can do anything..." "Anything?" "Yeah, anything..." "I don't believe you can do anything." "Have a nice trip." "When you will get your diploma remember here is where you started from." "From this backyard..." "And that I broke all of my toy cars to show you how they worked." "Only you could fix them back." "You think so?" "Thasica, I'd like to tell you that..." "Where have you been so far?" "Around here..." "I don't know why your father hasn't come yet." "Maybe hes got a problem with the car." "He should have told me." "From Iaºi?" "From Iaºi, from anywhere..." "Come on, give me the scissors Thasica..." "Mother, I told you already:" "Theea..." "Okay, okay, Thasica..." "Come on, give me the scissors..." "There you go." "Anyway, he should have sent a message." "Maybe he stopped somewhere." "That's why I'm afraid." "If he stopped for a beer..." "Why don't you go for a check?" "At this hour?" "What hour?" "Where have you been until now?" "!" "I told you already mum." "What did you tell me?" "!" "What?" "!" "You and your father are worring my life out." "God knows where you've been, and what you do all day." "Okay, but I'm on holiday." "What holiday?" "Listen to her: holiday!" "All the girls are on holiday." "The girls have a purpose in life!" "They passed their exams." "They're having fun..." "It's only my fault." "You should have worked as a little child like me." "And what do you prefer me to do?" "To work!" "To come with me." "There should be some work for you over there." "I don't like it." "Of course." "You like to fool around..." "You think anyone will marry you?" "I've still got time." "There should be someone for me too." "Yeah, who is so fool to get himself a careless woman?" "No school." "No job..." "But mother..." "Wait till I speak to your father..." "Thasica..." "What are we doing with Thasica?" "She'll go to work." "She doesn't want to." "What do you mean?" "It is up to her?" "She must work..." "She could as a mechanic, not only as engineer." "Then if she is capable, she can go to studies." "Why a mechanic?" "That's not the job for a girl." "I'd take her to my workplace." "But I don't think she would enjoy it either." "She said that?" "Ask her!" "..." "I will." "Send her over." "Thasica..." "Your father's calling you over." "Is it working?" "Give me those keys..." "Please give me a help, the brakes have broken." "Right away, I'll get these tools and..." "Let's go." "It's ready." "Try it!" "I spoke to the manager." "He also think it is better for a gril to come and work there." "With me." "She's good at mechanics and will work at the garrage." "Later on we'll see..." "At the garrage?" "Never." "Oil and petrol..." "I'm fed with it..." "In this house everything smells of oil and petrol!" "That's what I needed..." "My girl to come home with her hands black and wounded." "Keep that in mind:" "that's never going to happen." "You may try anithing!" "You're a fascinating woman." "You're very beautiful, Theea..." "We haven't seen each other for nearly four years." "Feels like we're meeting for the first time." "I recall you were a terrible kid and now a fascinating woman." "You still remember me?" "How could I forget you?" "I loved you..." "I always regreted I didn't take you with me back then." "This time I wont leave you again." "We have to be togheter..." "The same way?" "I'll explain, you will understand..." "We must go somewhere toghether." "At the seaside or anywhere you want." "In fact, where are you going now?" "To a rally." "Will it be long?" "Who knows?" "..." "Even a lifetime..." "I'm coming along." "Do you want?" "Of course!" "I don't think of any other way." "The weather report forecasts raining." "We shall change the tires." "He is..." "He is Sergiu." "Glad to meet you." "Aprigãþeanu." "Call the roadside assistance." "This is Dacia 13, answer please." "Answer please!" "Calling Dacia Piteºti technical assistance." "This is techical assistance." "This is Dacia 13!" "Techical assistance?" "Yes, Dacia 13." "We need some rain tires, reception." "Raise the volume, don't lose them." "The distance is not far, they're on the other shore." "I can hear you Dacia 13." "I'm receiving." "Thasica I received you." "Everything's all right?" "This is Laura!" "Laura I'm so glad you're here." "We're crossing the Danube!" "Where are are you?" "I came express for you." "I raced too, remember?" "How could I forget?" "I'm coming along." "With us?" "Yeah, yeah." "How do you feel?" "Head over heels!" "I'm happy you're here!" "When you're with me I fell safe!" "It's all right." "See you at the checkpoint." "I can't wait to see you!" "The forecast reports rain." "It started pouring here." "Good luck, over." "Four" "Three" "Two" "One" "Start!" "Five" "Four" "Three" "Two" "One" "Start!" "What's the circuit time?" "8:42, around first place." "Glad I have a evening dress." "You were afraid?" "A little bit." "I was only thinking about 'four bulls'." "What about it?" "You know how long we stayed behind the Italian team." "I was afraid they'll scrach it." "You think this is the Beauty Rally?" "No, but you can't go to the podium with a riddled car." "You're not dropping your ambition at all!" "I said I wanna win." "We'll win!" "Hurray, we passed the Italian girls." "How long is the neutralization?" "Till morning, at 7 we get going." "You've got damages?" "We replaced the front-left wheel." "Accident?" "No..." "Fog, a pile of rocks..." "Is this my key?" "Pãun!" "A spare wheel for Dacia 13." "We check the tires, fuel the tank." "Tomoromw morning at 5 we get up." "Yes boss." "I read the turn too late." "He's right to be angry at me." "Take this." "Good evening." "May I take a photo here?" "It's the first time I see her without a helmet." "Be seated." "Nothing else." "Everything went normal." "Did you plan well the due times?" "No penalty." "Don't know about the others..." "No need to worry yet." "The hard part only now begins." "Master, don't you think the steering should be checked?" "Of course we'll check it." "Let me describe you the ferry crossing." "Let's hear it." "I felt like in the Wall of death." "Let's continue, please." "We are in front of an exceptional competitor." "No, I'm not joking." "Maybe, or especially, because you're part of the team driven by the best pilot of the Dacia Automobile Plant from Piteºti." "So, you are due to reveal to the motorsport fans something about your passion for engines." "Therefore:" "Who are you," "Thasica Pribeag, co-driver of the car number 13?" "...worker of the Dacia Piteºti Automobile Plant." "...technical supervisor at the assembly line." "...mechanic and test driver." "So, you are attracted by engines and, if it get it well, by cars." "Since when this hobby?" "Since she was a kid." "So from always." "Only since at us she knows what a car is." "In a way." "Let's not forget, when I spotted her in the prototype workshop, she could handle very well." "She has worked side by side with us." "And she knew a lot." "What feelings did you have as a total builder of an automobile?" "Total builder..." "A little too much." "At the beginning, she refused any job." "She didn't want to assemble windows..." "Neither door locks." "She thought she knew it all." "All she wanted was to become a test driver." "Were we ok with it, or else..." "And a test driver she became, like she wanted." "Well yeah, but not anyhow..." "Having an adequate training." "Thank you very much." "For nothing, a great pleasure." "Good evening." "May I?" "You dance, Theea?" "Remember when we danced for the first time?" "Was playing the same song." "We danced for hours on it..." "That morning, I looked for you..." "I was deeply in love." "Why didn't you say it back then?" "415." "Mr. Sergiu Ionescu." "Sergiu Ionescu?" "He said he'll be back this evening." "Thank you." "Thasica" "Yes?" "Thasica, please set up a table for two in apartment 321." "415?" "312, are you in love?" "Mum!" "What's up Thasica?" "You scared me." "Open this door for me, please." "But why?" "Tonight, I'll make two people happy." "You?" "Whom?" "No idea." "I don't know them." "But for sure they are two lovers." "Go." "I like you." "I have thought a lot of you." "In one of my dreams, you were kissing me." "Is it a challenge?" "I wouldn't like it to remain just a dream." "In three days I leave to Dorohoi." "I have a beautiful house there, with a backyard." "Are you living alone?" "Yeah." "And who's cooking for you?" "A woman..." "Cleaning, cooking..." "Well, looks after the house." "Too bad, you can't come with me." "If you want..." "Who could stop me?" "And back home?" "What will you say to your family?" "I don't know." "I'll find something to tell them." "Thasica!" "Thasica!" "What's up with you?" "I haven't seen you for long." "I came to my parents." "I looked for you." "I thought that..." "That?" "Well..." "I had a lot to study." "Oh, I am very busy too." "I can't stand the restaurant." "I don't like it." "I have to get a better situation." "Yeah." "That's right." "I was thinking you still like mechanics." "Now I have another perspective." "Why didn't you look for me at the restaurant?" "I passed a few times." "At the entry." "And?" "You were busy." "All right." "I'm getting married." "Anyway, that's not important." "I had many problems." "Can I ask you something?" "Look." "Please give this to my parents." "I wrote them that I'm getting married." "And that I leave town." "Anyway, they'll understand." "Is much better so." "All right?" "Yeah." "Thanks." "You like it?" "Have you ever been to the sea?" "No." "Never." "You know?" "I think I will love it this time." "You'll be with me." "There's no hurry." "We have a life ahead." "Didn't you say we'll go and..." "I have news for you, Theea." "I decided..." "That's right, you decide." "You're the head of the family now." "I agree, whatever you say." "What you want is what I want." "You see..." "It was a wonderful trip, and that's the most important." "The rest doesn't matter." "That's it." "All right." "Maybe I wasn't clear." "I shall leave home right away." "I was phoned from a factory." "I must leave urgently." "This is it." "Finish your cofee." "I'll bring the luggage downstairs." "Where are you going?" "Sorry?" "Where to take you?" "You want to drive you home?" "No." "Why?" "You were on a trip, right?" "I never missed from home." "I am so sorry that we have to separate." "You've been a very very nice girl." "I'll write you." "I must see you again." "Yeah." "I think yeah." "I'll wait for you all my life." "I take you to the train station." "You can take the train from there." "I..." "Why do you have this face?" "Can't you understand I must go?" "I'm busy." "After all I'm not on my own either." "I'd go to Tulcea." "I have some relatives there." "Why would I go to Tulcea?" "You should understand that..." "I spent enough time for..." "Stop the car!" "Stop the car!" "Here?" "Stop it please." "For the train." "And beause you were nice." "You were wonderful." "Shall we go?" "Thank you for being nice, and for dancing with me." "Please excuse me." "I'm a bit tired." "Good evening." "She's formidable." "Impossible..." "Good morning." "Morning." "Are you tired?" "No, why?" "I though that..." "Oh, Segiu..." "I slept like a baby." "Sometimes it's good to go back in time." "You review some of your mistakes." "But there is a risk." "You're struggled by the fact..." "Some of your time was lost." "Don't forget the special stage..." "You can gain some places there." "Eyes wide open and metronome precision." "Almost everything depends on you." "Hard responsibility Mr. Arghir..." "That's what we trained you for." "10 km of tarmac." "Good road." "Two villages with no difficulties." "Then the lake." "Entering the horror stage." "Did you review the radar?" "I know it by heart." "All right." "How do we rank?" "Well." "That depends on the other competitors." "I don't know that." "Better ask the boys." "Try it." "This is Dacia 13." "Calling for Dacia Piteºti roadside assistance." "What is it Dacia 13?" "What's wrong?" "Pass it to me." "We're at km 10, prepare the spikes." "The rest is going well." "Received, we'll be ready." "Mr. Arghir, is Dan over there?" "Why?" "Do you miss him?" "Tell him to prepare the spikes." "All right girl." "Don't babble anymore." "I know what should I tell him." "How do you handle?" "As usual." "Didn't you say I was made for cars?" "Mr. Arghir, can I ask you something?" "Say it." "I'm anxious about these stage times." "Mainly of the other competitors." "What happened Dacia 13?" "What happened there?" "Comrade engineer..." "What happened?" "Expansion vessel." "The valve broke." "I don't have another vessel." "Wait, maybe I can find something." "I brought a lot of parts, but didn't expect this." "I took it for the ceremony." "Use it as an expansion vessel." "What a good idea." "Need something?" "No, it's all right." "What a pity..." "It was a great idea!" "Laura!" "I'm so happy to see you, you bring me luck, you know?" "This is why I came." "Watch out for the potholes covered by water." "Do you know how we're ranked?" "Very good, if you push hard on this" "everything be very good." "I like you." "Zero-nine!" "Zero-zero!" "Rotation." "Arghir, Dan!" "Fast!" "Change the tires, we have the best time!" "Are you all right?" "Yeah." "I'm not dead yet." "Turn off the lever swtich." "You are ok?" "I'm all right." "We shall get out." "Try if you can." "The car stands well?" "Yeah, it stands well." "The car stands ok." "Come out." "Can you get out?" "Yeah." "Wait..." "My hand hurts." "I think it's fractured." "Leave me..." "Wait, no..." "Take my helmet off!" "Release from here." "See if you can get the boys." "Come on, fast!" "Where is that medical kit?" "Ah..." "What do we do now?" "What?" "That's what we needed now..." "If only we could get them..." "And if we did?" "We lost anyway." "You think that's of any use?" "We lost." "It was too good to be true." "Why should I have a joy?" "I bring bad luck to me and everyone." "You think it couldn't happen to anyone else?" "What's that "we lost"?" "This time we lost." "There is always a risk." "You wanted glory?" "I understand..." "You think everything goes as you plan?" "It's a competition." "Everything in life is a competition." "Everybody wants to come first, be the winner..." "Know from your old driver... that those who cross the finish line are winners." "That is winning:" "crossing the finish line." "And we'll cross it too." "Ready!" "What happened to the others?" "They should have come already." "They took a wrong way, or they have a problem." "We go to the neutralised zone, maybe we'll find out." "Car 13 did not show up at the 10th check point." "Although it started the stage." "Check for it." "Car 13 did not show up." "Let's go." "Give me C.P. 10." "C.P. 10?" "One moment..." "Please wait." "C.P. 10?" "Please confirm the status of Dacia 13." "Check your records." "Yeah, I'll wait." "No news from Dacia 13?" "Not yet." "What do you think it happened?" "Probably they went in a wrong way, out from the route." "Okay, thank you." "Hello?" "Speak louder." "Can't we do anything?" "Nothing." "And they have no ideea where we are." "Laura won't leave us like that." "By the way, I wanted to ask you, where do you know her from?" "Looks like you're good friends." "And?" "It's quite unexplainable." "She's calm, balanced, knows what she wants..." "And me, how am I?" "I know?" "..." "You're unpredictable." "So is Laura." "That's why we're good friends." "We're very similar." "To get to know a man, you need to be interested in him." "And not the idea of man." "That's what she says, Laura." "Her merit is that she helped me in a very difficult situation." "I went to Tulcea, to some relatives of my parents." "I was afraid by the people." "I was shy, disoriented." "I got a job at a self-service." "After you clear, come and help me please, Thasica." "You saw the fuss that Aglae started..." "Big deal, a beer..." "If the man wanted to be nice, could I say no?" "Come on, forget that upset, you're a young and beautiful girl." "Live your life..." "Theea..." "Yeah?" "What are you doing?" "You sleep?" "No, I sit in the sun." "I like it." "I want to show you something." "What a wonderful car..." "Opel Ascona 400" "And that is a Toyota?" "Yeah." "Sedan, four doors." "Five seats." "What the top speed?" "I didn't know you like cars." "Oh, if I could drive it..." "Maybe..." "Maybe I'll make you a surprise." "At last." "Come on dear..." "Good afternoon..." "How are you?" "Could you lend me some money?" "..." "Again?" "Why don't you go to work?" "I'll get a job somewhere, but I need to get my driving license back, right?" "Yeah." "What should I do?" "I'm not driving a truck again." "They were unfreidnly and that's it." "They should congratulate you for driving under influence." "What did I drink?" "A few pints only." "That's under influence?" "That waiter gave me in, that bastard..." "See?" "That's what I don't like about you." "You keep blaming the others for your own mistakes." "And you indulge with that." "You feel legitimate" "I had a few friends at home that would never make me bored." "They were always making up things." "You need vocation for that..." "I had a vocation for it too..." "It's not about that." "After all you can do what you want." "But from now on, I won't give you a penny." "Thanks." "You got angry again." "I bet you'll forget it, if you come with me." "I believe I am able to start your curiosity." "And admiration." "Don't you think?" "Something you enjoy very very much." "Let's go..." "You're talented, you know?" "I didn't konw you can drive so well." "If you say you've driven trucks..." "You father can be proud." "You're good at it." "You know nothing yet." "What do you mean?" "I drove other types of vehicles too..." "Tractors, dumpers, vans..." "Why do you drive so slow?" "I want to show you something..." "Can you see that car, covered in the striped canvas?" "The registration number is written in white: 1 TL-5831." "Looks like a Dacia, right?" "Exactly, a Dacia." "You know what's the number of this car we're riding?" "No." "1 TL-5831" "How is that?" "Like that." "A guy wanted to have fun..." "A sailor living here, went overseas for a few months." "He said: "Why would I leave the car to rot?"" "Better get a profit from it." "And when he's back he makes her a surprise." "And what's over there?" "Where?" "Under the canvas." "Another car, what else..." "A taxi..." "The same brand..." "It's covered by the canvas, no one knows about it." "Militia is looking for a taxi at the moment." "Nobody complained about this one yet." "What do you mean?" "No, can't be." "You're joking." "I'm joking?" "Yeah, in fact it's joke..." "The guy assured me the sailor is a nice guy." "There's no problem." "Everything is all right." "And this guy is your friend?" "Yeah." "Somehow." "He offered to give me the car, to learn you how to drive." "I mean, he doesn't know that." "I only told him that..." "..." "I want to give you a ride." "And you drive without a license?" "Why not, if I know how to drive." "I'm not going anywhere..." "Just around here with you." "But know that you're really good behind the wheel." "Seriously." "Take sarmale, they're better." "I ordered a stew, you think it's not well done?" "No, it very well prepared." "Good afternoon, I'd like to speak with Thasica Pribeag." "She works here, right?" "Take my place a bit, okay?" "Okay?" "Thasica, you're dad's looking for you!" "Come in, she's here." "I had to know from my sister that you're here..." "I..." "I left." "I noticed that." "Why?" "Dad, please, my shift ends in 15 minutes." "I'll explain." "Wait for me, okay?" "I'll explain you later, please." "Please..." "Let me go..." "What's wrong?" "Let me go..." "Who is he?" "My boyfriend..." "Dad..." "I don't understand." "And the marriage?" "You wrote us that..." "You know..." "I'd like to say that..." "That..." "I have good intentions." "I want us to get married." "We wanted to..." "To make you a surprise." "How is mom?" "We have to talk." "Let's go to my sister." "How is the sister in law?" "Okay." "You?" "Me?" "Can't you hear them?" "Raising my grandsons..." "When are you getting married?" "We want to save some money." "Where do you work?" "He's a driver, like you." "Well..." "At this time?" "The car is being repaired." "Will be ready in a few days." "I'm getting a little rest..." "Meanwhile." "Working at the workshop..." "I had a present for you." "I bought it as a wedding gift." "We'll get furniture too." "Right?" "We'll save up money..." "In two or three years..." "Maybe we get a car too..." "We're young after all." "We have all the time." "If we stay healty, we won't be lacking the rest." "All right." "I must speak to your mom." "We'll be helping you." "We're doing it at home." "Let's clink a glass with dad." "You take one..." "Did you pick up the dress that I ordered for you?" "I must go." "I have to deliever some batrachians." "You know..." "Perishable goods!" "After I speak to your mom, we'll plan your wedding." "Good bye daddy." "What do you say?" "I handled it well, didn't I?" "Wedding back home..." "Did you like it?" "Imagine he believed me." "Aren't you ashame?" "How did you dare?" "You can't joke with that!" "I wanted to save you." "You're lying..." "Didn't you see how furious he was?" "You're lying!" "And I don't like that!" "I think you're lying all the time!" "How are you?" "What's with the car?" "I see you all the time with it." "So you're follwing me." "This car isn't yours." "I think story with the sailor and the taxi is real." "Listen girl..." "Mind you own dishes and leave me alone." "It's not your business." "Mine neither." "The man gave me the car, I don't care where it's from." "I won't leave you until you take it where it belongs." "The car is stolen!" "You must return it, now!" "Understand?" "!" "You know what?" "You're boring." "SgtMaj Panduru." "Your documents." "That's about it." "Soon the office will be empty." "When are you leaving?" "In a week." "I miss the children." "I felt very well here but..." "You know, like a detachment." "You know..." "I don't have my documents." "In fact I came to..." "To bring you the car." "Why didn't you stop at the signal?" "I didn't..." "In fact..." "All right, come with me." "Message:" "I handle this problem." "Good bye." "Please come with me." "No, I'm not guilty." "Good afternoon." "Please come with me!" "You have no documents, please come in with me." "I'm not guilty!" "Leave her." "Turn off the engine." "What has she done?" "Comrade Major, I report." "She drove irregularly." "At the junction with Strada Libertãþii, she passed on the red light." "She didn't stop at the signal, and didn't show her documents." "What could I do?" "I passed on red light because I wanted to reach faster." "You don't know the kid." "He lied." "I told him to change the cars." "Now I brought it to you, to change them yourselves." "All right, I handle this." "What's your name?" "Theea." "With a "th"." "That is your name?" "Yes." "Thasica Pribeag." "And yours?" "Laura Opriºan." "I suppose you don't have a driving license." "How old are you?" "19." "And a driving license I can get anytime." "I know how to drive." "I've driven before and I like it." "What cars were supposed to be replaced?" "This one with a taxi." "When the man returns and removes the canvas, he finds a taxi underneath." "Yeah." "The taxi stolen one month ago." "I didn't steal it." "I don't even know how it looks." "I only rode in this one." "So two stolen cars." "I told him to put it back." "But he changes them and..." "I told him..." "You're right, they're two stolen cars." "And you knew it." "You may be charged of concealment, not to mention the others." "Driving a car without a license, violation of the traffic regulations..." "Obviously..." "With extenuating circumstances." "Come with me." "Yeah." "No, no..." "I don't have the file here." "Investigations proved she's innocent." "Even..." "Good afternoon." "Even helpful in a way." "All right, all right, thank you." "What's up with you?" "Be seated." "Aren't you bored of me yet?" "After all you that you've told me, I think I chose the best place for you." "You'll be okay with it." "Like me, when I worked there." "You can't imagine how is working among young people, who love what they are doing..." "In fact, we'll go there together." "My detachment is over, I go home." "And what do you get from it?" "A laurel wreath?" "It would be better if you watched your language." "That for a point." "Otherwise, if you don't like working in an automobile plant," "I cannot force you to." "We'll find something else." "What does that mean?" "Are you fooling me?" "No, I'm very serious." "You may go now." "Soon you'll see." "I'll tell you well before, so you can get ready." "Make yourself beautiful." "Good afternoon." "Good afternoon." "Good afternoon, comrade director." "Has Dan arrived?" "Please tell him that..." "He deserves a laurel wreath." "I'll tell you about it..." "Yeah." "In two or three days, I arrive home." "And I bring her with me." "Yeah, yeah..." "Good afternoon." "I wonder where he is..." "He knew we're coming." "I'll be right over." "Dan!" "Good afternoon." "Is it really you?" "I can't believe it." "I can't believe it." "You're..." "Very... impressive." "And how elegant is your costume." "How do you find me?" "I've changed, did I?" "It's strange we meet again here after so long." "You see, I've come with my friend." "Right, Laura?" "What are you doing here?" "Dan is a subengineer in the plant." "He helped you get this job." "Let's get into details later." "Let's take a tour of the plant, right?" "Do you still enjoy engines?" "..." "Let's go..." "Do we change the carburetor plates, or we use the normal ones?" "We use the large ones." "Then we shall put the shorter gearbox too." "No, we'd better keep the regular one." "We gain more on the straight lines, than on turns." "You have them here?" "Yeah." "Good." "Give me the key 13." "This is the competition cars workshop." "19!" "This is a dyno tester..." "Here is the cluster panel, where you can follow..." "all modifications to the engines." "Give me key 17!" "Now they're preparing a new model of car with very good performances." "For taking part in rallies." "Ring key 17!" "The screen displays some of the parameters." "Cross screwdriver." "Come on." "Comrade Arghir, our party secretary." "Glad to meet you." "And comrade Aprigãþeanu, test driver." "Laura Opriºan." "And her?" "Who is she?" "My name is Theea." "With a "th"." "I mean..." "Thasica Pribeag." "You were giving me the tools?" "Come on." "Once again." "Now!" "We looked everywhere, car number 13 has disappeared." "Keep looking!" "No rally car has seen it." "Ask the weather station if the helicopter can take off." "Get the stuff back in the car!" "It's running." "Get at the steering wheel." "Reverse gear." "Accelerate." "Hard!" "Go ahead!" "Good." "Very good." "Hard!" "Thank God we got out of here." "If they can't make it in 15 minutes, they're disqualified." "I'm getting worried too." "Something might've happened." "Yeah, I'm afraid too." "Give me the control record." "Yes master, look..." "The door is not working..." "The hood the same..." "Look." "That's about it." "Superficial work..." "Since they arrived it's the same." "It's badly mounted, that's it." "Look, give it to me." "It's written in the technical file." "What's happening on your line?" "Look." "Control reports are full of mistakes." "Look." "Fix them after the schedule." "I'm not interested in this work." "I said that to everyone." "But you don't care about the talented people." "Anyone can do this thing." "You're all gonna get penalies." "And you get down to work and watch out your behaviour." "Okay?" "Dan, it's not good." "It's not working that way..." "It's useless." "She only wants to work where she likes." "She wants to be a test driver." "In order to be a good test driver..." "You have to know everything about cars." "Hello?" "Good afternoon." "Comrade Major Opriºan please." "Hello." "Dan Tomescu speaking." "I'd like to ask you something." "I know it's a little late." "Please come, if possible, tomorow afternoon to the plant." "It's up to you now, if we'll be able to develop this new model." "Comrade engineer and us have put it on the paper." "Now it's time to decide on the manufacturing deadline, and to form up the working groups." "I'd like to ask if the project can be improved." "Of course." "What is it about?" "For example, the spare wheel." "It is too hard to handle." "Look, I thought of something much simpler and efficient." "And since we the youth are building it, I suggest adding a special paint." "Something metallic." "We'll study it." "If it's better, we'll use it." "Bring your suggestions to the Union of Communist Youth." "Now I will announce the working groups for the new model." "They were formed of the best workers." "From the paintshop, those who are now in the second shift." "Body and accesories assembly, stations 5, 8 and 10." "Mechanical assembly, 7 and 3." "Test drivers, to be decided later by master Arghir." "And me?" "I'm not in any of the teams?" "Impossible!" "You know I stayed for hours after the schedule in the competitions sector and that's not easy." "Why did you put me away?" "We considered you are an adult." "That you understand our effort for good quality production." "You are defying to all." "Nothing's more important to you, than what you want." "I want to be a test driver!" "You'll be one if you want so hard." "But you have to prove that, you're a good worker for every job that you're given." "Or else you won't be able to notice the weaknesses of a car." "Then you have to put order into your knowledge." "Talent is not enough." "You need to study hard." "So?" "What do you say?" "You think you can?" "Thank you all." "The meeting is over." "Come on." "Come with me." "Where could they be?" "I don't know." "Aprigãþeanu has gone through a lot." "I'm worried for Thasica." "She was afraid she might disappoint us." "She's the first woman in a rally for us." "With so much ambition, maybe she made a mistake." "How was she chosen?" "No selection, she forced us to choose her." "Reallly?" "Really." "We were testing the cars for the contest." "All the heads of the factory were there." "After a month of intense preparation, we took the cars out for a test..." "Well, not bad." "Still, I would adjust the fuel supply." "What improvements have you brought?" "We modified the combustion chamber, and we made a new camfshat profle." "We improved its record." "We'll see that by the lap times you'll make." "Comrade director, please allow me to..." "Take with me the mechanic that helped us prepare the car." "All right." "Fast, come on." "Is true?" "Has she wroked with you?" "Approximately..." "Why don't you admit you need her?" "Dan!" "You drive..." "But start from the top!" "We'll clock you." "I'll get you from there." "Go." "Formidable." "Great!" "A great lap comrade director!" "Who..." "Where did you arise from, girl?" "From here, from the factory." "That was just the beginning..." "Then they suggested to bring her into the team." "Then..." "We simply couldn't get rid of her." "And now, it's over?" "See?" "It's not over." "Her achievements just begin... 50 ahead." "2 right, over crest, left 3." "You think you can make it to the finish line?" "You'll see..."
