"Let's do it another Saturday, there will be great Saturdays." "Today." "Period." " OK." " We're here now." "It's important that we are here, with people whom I loved before you." "Don't look at me like that!" "Where's the ring?" " Friend will bring it, as a gift." "OK." "Listen, listen." "You have to keep quiet and smile." "This is very important."

"My mother." "Radojica Sanader, nice to meet you." "Forgive me..." "My brother Milovan." " Nice to meet you." "Why are we standing?" "Let's sit down." "You came...?" "Yes, I came." "I'm here, so to speak." "Oh!" "You were asking why I came?" "To see our house." " We're not selling it." "No, Radojica wants to buy similar house so he came to see the arrangement." " Good decision." "Architect and builder of this house was my late husband and father of my kids." "For us, it is priceless." "We are build in this house, so to speak." " In foundations." "To be frank, house was just an excuse." "Radojica wanted to meet you." "I was telling him about you and that he can meet you if he come by at Saturday." "Yes!" "That's true." "Lana told me a lot about you and I suddenly had strong desire to fu..." "To see you in full person." "And my wish came true." "But, you know, we are very poor." "Everything you see - house, all beauties and valuables, everything is mortgaged." "Milovan, you keep quiet!" "I haven't said a word." " When you do, it's too late." "And you...?" "I don't remember names, numbers and faces." "Radojica, madam." "R like..." "Rakovica, rei?" "Verschlu?" "Rembrandt..." "You're not a foreigner?" " What?" " Croat, Muslim, Chinese." "I'm not Chinese." " You are educated?" "Yes, I've studied." " At University?" "In Belgrade." "Education gives a man a status he didn't have at birth." " You are absolutely right." "You don't have it until you obtain it." "Like me." "It's like some kind of obtainment." "You are nervous?" "You must go to work?" "No, it's Saturday." "I'm not working on Saturday." "Police and firemen do." " And Justice's of the peace." "Those..." "The men that gather leaves, Milovan?" "Uncle Bajram and uncle Redza." " Public workers." "Radojica graduated law and works with the government as an advisor in the Ministry of justice." "You're almost a minister!" " No, advisor." "Ministers come and go but advisor has a future." "My late husband, their father, was for a brief period minister of engineering." "He got only stress." "But it's great to be an advisor." "One sees one off and welcomes another." "Guard your position an you will be useful to your wife and kids." "I'm not married." " No?" "But you can have kids." "This is just prejudice." "I'm not married and I don't have these... kids." "Really?" "At your age you should." "I'm so rude." "Dobrila!" "Serve our guest." "But not here." "Why sit inside when there's Saturday outside?" "Son?" "My Jelena hasn't mentioned you." "A mistake, madam." "My apologies." "Mistake?" "How come?" "What manners!" "I called to see if everything is OK, he hung up." "We have to wait." "You're in a hurry?" " You're kidding?" "Look!" "There's a hotel across the street." " So?" "Shall we go?" " What for?" "To take our clothes off and jump in bed." "Just like that?" "No can do." "It's not interesting." "You have to be funny, to conquer my heart, do something incredible." " Grow taller?" " Yes." "No." "You know I don't drink alcohol." "In the morning." "I'm an teetotaler, madam." "I don't drink alcohol, but I won't refuse one drink." " Give us frog juice." "We won't delay you." "You have some important business?" "Mother, please." " What have I said?" "He wanted to meet me." "Lana has a wonderful habit of introducing all her boyfriends to me." " Mother!" "In the 3rd grade she brought nice, big nosed guy like you, and said:" "Mother, this is my boyfriend." "Cut his wrists in high school I think." "I can't remember." "All my friends are alive." " Are they?" " Yes." "Then I mixed up." "So many came to this house!" "And you?" "Have you managed in Belgrade?" "Me?" "I'm splendidly managing in Belgrade since my birth." "I'm so to speak managed." " Yes, yes." "Some are in Belgrade for three generations but they never manage." "Smell of the country follows them." "Everything goes by them." "And you...?" " Radojica Sanader." "Since you're here, you can see our garden." "Most beautiful flowers." " We're keeping you..." "Great idea, mother!" "C'mon, we'll need flowers." "Son..." " Don't, please." "It was a mistake." "Good Lord..." "I see you like my Svetlana." "When you look at her your eyes shine, and you're looking at her all the time." "Yes." " But she never mentioned you." "I have." " Then by the way because I don't remember." "Milovan, pick some cherries for the gentleman." "He mustn't leave empty handed." " No, he can pick himself." "You have your own house?" "You're not a subtenant?" "He has, mother." " I have..." "And I'm not." "You are healthy?" " I feel great, especially today." "Odd." "Many feel great then everything starts to hurt." "Maybe you already have some terminal disease but are unaware of it." "Cemeteries are full of young." "You know what, madam?" "Madam..." "Your garden is beautifully tended, with love and care." "Which model of hoe you use?" " Mother!" "Radojica wants to take us to lunch." " Why?" " Yes!" "My father used to say:" "Son, food goes through the mouth." "Directly." "Coffee, madam." "Will you tell your mother?" " At an opportune moment." "When will that be?" " Soon." "Be patient." "Witnesses are waiting, we'll be late." " So?" "Or you can tell her yourself." " I will, this minute." "Madam?" "I want to tell you something." " I'm all ears." "You know..." "You have a wonderful place." "What are you waiting for?" "I know when to stop." "Yes, around noon." "I'm sitting, phone rings." "Man's voice, unfamiliar." "So and so." "I packed my things and went for Vrnjacka Banja." "And there... congress." "I went to his hotel room." "I opened the door and what did I see?" "My husband with his young coworker." "He used to say that she's very capable." "When I saw her" "I knew why." "He just grabbed for her heart and collapsed." "Too much excitement for his age." "Papa was giving speech and collapsed by the rostrum." "That was the story for you, for your protection." "Their father was a womanizer." " In one thing we agree." "Father died in Vrnjacka Banja." "Well, he died in the clean air." "It's not..." "He had a safe in the house." "But when I opened it, with great difficulties, I didn't find the money." "Just few pieces of exquisite ladies' underwear that I've never seen." "And marbles." "He played with marbles?" "So what?" " Nothing." " I saw him play." "Although I wanted mother to die first, but nobody asks me anything." " You be quiet, Milovan!" "I once let you go out and then you called:" "I'm in hospital, but I'm OK." "Tiger tore me apart." "Please, I can't believe it." "Where did he find the tiger?" "At the Zoo." "And it wasn't like that." "I wanted to cuddle him." " Who?" "Tiger." "Then he grabbed me on the chest and stomach." "You're lying." "Don't lie." "See?" "Guards restrained me otherwise there would be hell." "He would have eaten you." " Him, me?" " No, you him." "Svetlana, you look like a girl who would marry the first idiot who looks at her stupidly." "If you are thinking of me, it's true." "I just think that she should marry well." "Money compensates everything." "Husband must be tall, rich and a little bit more handsome than a monkey." "Mother, I want to marry him." "This?" "You really want to ruin yourself." " I do." "Be serious, Svetlana." "I am serious!" "Boban?" "Where are you?" " Buy the flowers." " Get off!" "Wait!" "Have you seen a man, this high?" "He's a bit drunk, staggering." "Thanks." "Dada!" "Listen." "Boban." " You and I are gonna see each other from now on." "Where did she go?" " I don't know." "This is ridiculous." "The woman is..." "We were here, we saw..." "Now we will leave." " Go." "Where?" " Wherever you want, go." "Don't you see that she can't stand me?" "OK." "Tell me what to do and I'll do it." "Be patient." " How long?" "Until at an opportune moment she can say "yes"." "There won't be any." " It will, soon." "You'll see." "No way." " You shut up!" " It' none of your business." "Don't yell at him!" "I have to go to the toilet." "I'll take you." "I love you." "Don't worry." "The air is quivering like the earth is on fire." " What?" "The air is quivering like the earth is on fire." "OK." "Where's the toilet?" " Last door." "Good God." "Son!" "Mistake, madam!" "Nothing!" "Storm is coming!" " Get away, I'll call..." "Mother!" "Fuck!" "Mother, open the door!" "I will leave this house forever!" "Open the door!" "Open it yourself." "We have to talk." "What is it?" "I want you to come down." " That man is still here?" " Yes." "How long he plans to stay?" "Svetlana." "Don't be dramatic." "He's nice..." "I just wanted to change." "You young people are so impatient!" "The gentleman left?" " No, madam." "I'm here." "Actually, I came to ask for your daughters hand." "I want to marry your daughter and I'm asking for your blessing." "What is your Christian name?" " Radojica!" "He told you." "It was a pleasure, now I must go." " Where?" "Shopping." " No way!" " I can't postpone it." "I have to buy epochal hat from Padua." "Or I'll see it on some goat and die on the spot." "Mr. Radoje, it was a pleasure." "Milovan, call me a white cab." "We can take you." "Don't we?" " Yes." "What color is your car?" " Dark." "In that case I must change." "Can I go too?" " Of course." "We'll all go." "Can I drive?" " You don't have license." "Just a second!" " Please." "You will not drive..." "Pardon me, madam." "Allow me." "Forgive me, an accident." " Please!" "It's tuned up engine with 70 horses." "70 horses?" "Where are they?" " Shut up, please." "Have you made the decision, madam?" " My name is Leposava." "Leposava." " Without your home accent." "Father used to call her "my pretty donkey"." "Rarely a name fits a woman so beautifully." "Which one?" " Who was clairvoyant godfather?" "Our grand mother." " I don't have a mother." "She died." " I don't know." " How can you not know?" "I never had her so I don't know." "You were born, you must have a mother." "I don't." " How can you say such thing?" "Even if the person that gave me birth is alive..." "She says we don't have granny, but we know we do." "She's not my mother." "Grandpa died when she was little so granny remarried." "She left mother and our aunt and said "I'll be back"." "And she came back?" " Not yet." "Not yet?" "She must be shopping..." "She'll come." "What is the name of this cheerful granny?" " Grozdana." "Grozdana!" "Nice name..." "I like it very much." "Mother was born in the same village." "Didn't you?" "Probably." "How do you use this thing?" " You don't have cellular?" "My three secretaries do..." "It's taking long." " What?" " Taming of the mother." "There they are!" "They're here!" "I came to Belgrade hungry and bare." "That's why I had to marry an invalid." "18 years older!" "You don't have to." "I'm not 18 years older." "Papa was Konan the warrior, he lost his leg in war." "And he was a good man." " Lf father is alive..." "I would have a real wedding!" " And I would walk the streets." "Look how beautiful this city is!" "I like Belgrade!" "What's the matter with you?" " Milovan!" "Don't pay any attention to her." "I miss daddy a lot." " I know." "Me too." "If he was alive, he would tell her." " I know." "Don't worry, I'm here." " You're getting married." " So?" "You won't be here." " I will." "We'll live together." "Swear." " On my mother's grave." " No, father's." "OK." "C'mon." "Lana, you know how much I love Belgrade?" " Me too." "Why haven't you went abroad?" "You're right, I should have." "As far as possible." "To Manjuria." " New Zealand." " No, Old." "There's nothing for you here." " But I love it here." "You should leave when it's best." "And where should I live according to you?" "Nowhere." "You... nowhere." " Nowhere?" "What are you doing, Milovan?" "Where are you going?" "Are you nuts?" "Motherfucker!" "There!" "You learn for months, I've learned at once." "Don't panic, it's gonna be OK." "Lean on me..." "Milovan, son." "How many times have I told you?" "Whatever you do, you can't upset me." "Easy..." "Watch the steps." "Sorry..." "Hello?" "Where are you?" "We started seeing you anywhere, anytime." "People here have different sense of time." "OK, we'll wait a bit longer." " Bye." "Uncle Rado?" "Uncle Rado!" "Boy, you're too old to play with toys." "Go find a girl, don't bother me!" "Are there sane people in this house?" "God!" "Calm down or I'll take the batteries out!" "There's no use trying, she won't give her to you." "Lana's a grown girl." "Don't bother me." "That's what you think." "If Lana leaves the house, mother will shoot herself in the hart with father's gun." "She once tried in the head but she missed." "Don't point at me!" "Let her try once or twice." "She must practice." "Besides, why would she kill herself?" "She's good looking woman." "She should get married." "Put an add on the post and she'll find a husband." "Would you marry her?" " I love your sister." "How much?" " I love her more than anything in the world." "Would you kill for her?" "Easily." "Let me ask you something..." "When you want to kiss a girl... you kiss her?" "I mean, at once?" " No!" "You have to talk, take her to he movies." " I'm not allowed." "Than you must be funny, tell jokes." "I don't know any joke." " Then be interesting!" "Am I interesting?" " You?" "You're a good boy..." "You know what?" "Take her to a bench in the park." "When it gets dark you say "look at the stars" and kiss her." "She'll like that for sure." "It goes for redheads too?" "I don't know, children." "It's risky time for making decisions, especially in Serbia." "What do you think, Milovan?" "I don't know." " What do we read every morning?" "It's a risk anywhere in the world, not only..." "This is my decision." "We're listening, mother." "Will you go and change?" "Of course." "Madam?" " Yes?" "My Jelena called..." "This must be her." "Hello?" "One moment." "It's for me." "It's not that simple, uncle Rado." "Have I asked you?" "Where are you, bubble?" "I'm looking for you for days." "At the stadium, watching the game all upset because my boy's loosing." "Yes... my pie..." "Yes..." "We can see each other in the afternoon." "I can't, my friend is getting married." "Advisor in the Justice Department." "Radojica Sanader." "I have to go to the wedding, I'll call you." "This wedding will never happen." "Am I beautiful?" " Yes, always." "Now please..." "We have to go now." " All right." "Children!" "We are robbed!" " What happened?" "Our summer house is robbed." " What are you talking about?" "What have they taken?" " Everything!" "We have nothing there." " What do you know!" "I know how they do it, I've read in the papers." "Someone's distracting the owner while they steal!" "You're inventing!" " You say that I've planned the robbery?" "That is for the police to say" "No!" "I'm leaving." "Much obliged." "Don't let her provoke you!" "She wants to drive you away, it's all a lie!" " Can't you see what she's doing to me?" "How do you think I feel?" "I'm here all my life." "If you don't marry me, just go far away from here." "I'm not going anywhere!" "She can go!" "Come back, please." "You're sure?" " I want you with me." "Svetlana, you left me." "Nobody loves me!" "I love you, mother." " I love you very much!" "And you will stay with me forever?" " Of course." "I won't." " We are family!" "No." "We were while father was alive." "Now I want to leave, to be funny and interesting!" "Milovan!" "And what have you, Radovan, found in Svetlana?" "Radojica, madam." " Forgive me." "She's the best thing that ever happened to me." "You don't know a thing." "I can see that she's charming." " You can't see a thing." "I don't know for you, but she made me miserable." "After everything I've done she wants to leave me." "Unparalleled callousness!" "If she can leave her mother, she'll leave you just as well." "You are nothing to her!" "Don't cry, please." "Don't..." "You just miss a firm hand in here." " Always!" "Don't cry, madam." "Everything will be OK." " Nothing will be OK." "You could knock, you wont' lose your arm." "When shall I serve lunch?" " Three o'clock." "And you are mean and cruel man who despises feelings of others!" "My lovely lizard." "Flowers, buy some flowers." " For me?" "No." " You're not fair." "But I'm funny." " Like at the movies." "And interesting." " Let's go to the movies!" "How?" " By tram." "I can't." " Why?" " I can suffocate." "You have asthma?" " No, mama says and it was in the papers." "And some other guy bumped his head at the bar and died." "Really!" "C'mon, I'll take you on my bike." "I can't." " C'mon!" "Why, why?" "My sister is getting married today." "Milovan?" "Come here." "Mother, but I..." "You little bitch, get out!" "Or I'll call the police!" "Milovan, mother will find you a better girl." "When?" "When the time comes." "Now go to your room." "Is there a sane person in this house?" "And you?" "Mother?" "We're leaving." "You're coming with us?" " Calm down." "It's time that we have a serious talk." "We have nothing to talk about." " Maybe you and I, but gentleman and I do." " Don't, we have to go!" "We'll talk in father's study." "Solemn space for solemn talks." "Svetlana, you've opened a subject today that can't be taken lightly because it can change all our lives." " What?" "Why are you not married?" " You don't ask that!" "I do." " It's all right, I'll answer you." "So, why haven't I married?" "Because of my views of marriage, my vision." "Marriage is a crucial step, man should marry only once." "This is a moral issue of our civilization." "I want to enter the marriage clean and obtain perfection." "Clean?" "You haven't found a decent woman yet?" " Bravo!" "What else you want to know?" "I've passed your test." "I was good in high school, even better at college." "You had some stains." " Not one!" "Never." "You lost a year and had a fight with department chief." "What?" "Oh no!" "It wasn't a fight." "I've beaten him up, there's a big difference." "I've canceled the exam twice because of the low mark." "You fought because of the assistant." "Who says?" " The assistant, now professor." "Chairman was her father." "You promised her marriage and lied, so her father beat you up." "I haven't seen her in 10 years!" " And the last New Year's eve?" "What New Year's eve...!" "It was nothing!" "Our flight was canceled, we were at the airport." "I have nothing with her." "And how do you know all that?" "From my daughter's behavior" "I've sensed that she's in danger and that my duty is to protect her." "I can take care of myself." "I can see that." "But you have an honest face, I must admit." "You look so much like your mother, Draginja." "She has very nice face, excellent complexion." "But you don't visit often." "I said... "Oh, sons"." "Wait..." "You went to see his parents?" "Yes, in the country." "300 km from here, near Nis." "Father retired officer, mother professor of... what?" "Geography." " Yes..." " How dare you?" "For your own good." "Her name is Vera." "Who?" " The last girl you brought as your fiancée." "Second one." "I don't know such girl." " No?" "God sent you." " Not God, the priest." "I told him all my life, he said I'm a big sinner." "That no fast will spare me from hell if I don't bring the future couple in time." "Wait!" "Stop!" "Where?" " This is Lana's house." " This one?" "!" "You can remind yourself." "Interesting couple." "She's charming but wrinkled because of you." "She has a sense of humor, saying she's 3 years younger." ""Years spent with him I don't count as ever lived. "" "She studied photography and gave me this picture of you in great need or great hurry." "You are without clothes." "In one word, you're naked." "What ever you do you won't stop me proposing your daughter for the rest of my life." "Now you'll excuse me, I've wasted enough time." "This will be my wedding present from you." "Get real!" "He seduced you cunningly and perfidiously!" "I seduced him!" " Outside of this house horror and misery await you." " You are sick!" "One day you'll thank me!" "Svetlana!" "You are crazy, no man wants crazy wife!" " Radojica does!" "You think?" "You have no money!" " I do!" "How come?" " Half of everything is mine!" "You still haven't recovered from the last epilepsy attack." "You need a doctor, not a husband." " You fool!" "Dobrila." " Yes?" "Take the best man inside." " You know each other?" "Make him a strong black coffee, double." "No sugar." "Mr. Jeweler, should I give him brine?" "No brine!" "No horse shit!" " Just coffee." "Mr. Jeweler, about the broach..." " It's OK." "Where are you going?" " What?" "I've arranged everything..." "The rings." " What rings?" " Have you brought them?" "There's no rings." " What?" " Who said there's no rings?" "Rings, unique..." " Only Prince of Monaco have them." "Yes." "Where are they?" " Not even the Prince, just you." "Now just you." " OK..." "I have what?" "Old lady?" " Don't, please..." "Where are you going?" "Stop!" " Don't do this to me!" "Come here." " Priest is waiting." "Come back here!" "You're not going anywhere!" "You bit me!" " I did not!" " C'mon." "Madam?" "The jeweler is here, want to see the rings?" "I don't care!" " Lana, do you want to see?" "Mother?" "This is yours and fathers, from the safe." "Wait..." "You two know each other?" " We do." "We don't." " We don't." "Madam, how can you say that?" "Pity, Muta is an artist, very successful with women." " How do you know?" "He told me yesterday, "I'm with a granny"." "How old is she, I asked?" "51, he said." "Well, I said, she can be your mother, but grandmother, no." "Are you feeling well, mother?" " Great." "He talked a lot about her!" "Good looking, hot..." "You did say that." "So..." "She wants to get married." "Marriage!" "But he wants only one thing from her." "She writes him love letters." "This one is perfumed." "Bulgarian rose..." " Shalimar!" " Sorry?" "Shalimar!" " Yes, Bulgarian." "Signed with "your hot pussy"." "Beginning with "my dear dong"." "What are doing, mother?" "Eating." "Shall I call 911?" "Maybe she's sick." " She's OK." "Lana, I have to ask you something." "The epileptic attack..." " Fuck you!" "The woman is sick..." "Shall we call the doctor?" "Unbelievable!" "It is more important than our wedding?" "I have to change." "I have to..." "Change..." "I have to..." "Change quickly..." "Belgrade!" "Hurrah!" "Hello." "Apropos the letter, mother will see you soon." "She's changing." "Who will see us?" " I don't know." "Hello." "Madam mother will see you soon, she's changing." "Fuck you and your letter." "What's with him?" "Hello." "Madam mother will see you now." "Muto, man!" "Are you OK?" "You came?" "I'm so glad." "I'm Svetlana's mother." "And you are?" " Huh?" "Tell her your name." "Radojica Sanader." "So, you will..." "take my baby away?" "So happy..." "What can I say, children?" "Take care." "And when is this happy occasion?" "We'll get married today in church." "We'll get married in church!" "That will be unforgettable!" "I know!" "I'll will wear one gorgeous dress." "I wore it only once." "Because of my husband and your father." "We're going?" "C'mon." "You are a lucky man!" "Now we're family." "There they are!" "Hurry!" " There they are!" "Svetlana!" "Bravo!" "Bravo!" "Wait!" "You want to hear a joke?" " Yes." "Rabbit, fox and bear, holding some list." "Fox asks the bear, what is that list..." "And?" " It's a long joke, I'll skip it." "Look up!" "In the sky!" "Are you trying to kiss me?" "How do you know?" "Translated by Svetlana Mitrovic" "Distribution FAVI"
