"I'm kinda broke again." "It's Fatso and I want you so." "Listen, Bulika." "What we did was like a dream." "Want to do it again?" "I've got a job for you." "I need shots and a few lines on the students' rally." "The atmosphere, the city, that stuff." "No shit here." "Bye!" "Come here, my only one." "My only friend." "The University Council delayed its decision on the strike." "So, the students proclaimed one." "They decided to shut themselves in 3 schools." "You recovered?" "No room here." "I have to be an outpatient." "You know where to go?" " No." "After you recover you know where to go?" "Don't worry, Joko." "I'm not less patriotic than you." "Those who say that we've been manipulated by the opposition are liars." "Our strike is not political." "We are against the war!" "We are saving our skins." "Our skins are at stake." "We don't want the irresponsible." "power-hungry politicos deciding our fate." "We want." "Slobodan Milosevic to resign!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Who, me?" "Get off, menace!" "Shooting some atmosphere." "So, I'm the atmosphere for you?" "!" "Just a sec!" "Done!" "What are you doing here?" "Sitting." "Where are you from?" "Moslavina, Grubisino Polje." "Where's that?" "!" "Far away." "You're not in the hospital?" "!" "No room there." "I have to be an outpatient." "So, where are you going to sleep?" "I'll manage." "Cool." "Fantastic!" "None of your business, that." "Get off of me!" "Mind your own business." "Get off!" "OK." "Bye!" "Farewell." "Help!" "It will bite me!" "Easy, Thunderbolt!" "Come sleep at my place tonight." "There's room." "You crazy?" "!" "How?" "With your crutch." "I've got no chopper." "You don't even know my name!" "What's your name?" "Bogdan." "I'm Jelena." "Charmed!" "Let's go now!" "What will your folks say?" "Thunderbolt?" "We live by ourselves." "Move your ass, Schmuck!" "Oh, let me be." "Good morning." "What's that stuff?" "Bread dips." "For breakfast." "Fantastic!" "We've got a cook now." "I can cook anything." "Even lame as that, I can." "I can't." "Nothing even healthy as that." "Nothing but coffee." "Bread dips, you say?" "That's French toast." "Too greasy for me." "If you wanna take a shower, the towels are to the left." "You could change, too." "I've got two extra T-shirts." "Take your pick." "There's a washing machine for your laundry." "Do you want some coffee?" "Yes, please." "You're so green, we could lose you in the woods." "Please feel like you're at my home." "Meaning:" "No bimbos around here." "Lift the seat off the toilet bowl." "Don't mess up my mess." "Hey, easy!" "Easy with that!" "I'm sorry." "Why?" "That's my granny." "Looks like the war hit your place too." "I was looking for something." "For what?" "None of your business!" "Something from granny's diary." "Come here, beast!" "Gee, you're handy with little beasts!" "Where did you find it?" "In a park." "Just like me." "I watch you as I used to watch her." "Do you mind if I ask:" "Why are you interested in your grandma's life?" "It's personal." "I might even write a book:" ""The Love Life of my Grandmother, Jelena"." "The title is all you have?" "I've got a lot of stuff." "Her diary, letters, pictures." "I fill in the holes and there you are!" "And I'm supposed to fill in the holes?" "You knew her well." "Do I look a bit like her?" "You're beautiful too." "Me?" "!" "Come on!" "But you lack." "How shall I put it, that special sort of contempt for men." "Which I first noticed in Jelena's eyes and later in few other women, great beauties, all of them." "Sit down." "OK, hang around with that crutch." "Maybe it will earn you a chair." "The gentleman is." "I found Schmuck on a bench." "He's from Moslavina." "Moslavina?" "Where's that?" "I personally believe it doesn't even exist." "Schmuck made it up so he could have a homeland." "Was he wounded in the war?" "Yes." "A regular man-eater, but sweet as a lamb." "See?" "A little lamb!" "Let me introduce myself:" "I am Branko Kojovic." "Tell the man your name." "Bogdan Bilogorac." "You are a student, too?" "I use to be, in Osijek, Croatia." "I'm a soldier now." "Let's move to my place." "If Schmuck goes to fight for the glory of Serbia again." "Fuck Serbian glory." "Jela!" "Fuck Tsar Lazar and the Heavenly Nation!" "How can you say that, devil take you!" "Let him die a fucking hero, 'cause he's a schmuck." "My children." "Pardon me for calling you that." "You are so young and the times in which you live are so different from those you want to write about." "I watch you and your friends, students and revolutionaries." "You cannot even imagine how different." "The revolutionaries from this very same University ." "Looked before the big war." "How?" "The eyes of those young montagnars were burning with hunger , envy and justice." "What about us?" "You are clean and frivolous." "Just like your grandmother." "My Jelena." "In contrast to the winner , Major Krsman." "Do you know how Jelena met Krsman?" "But of course!" "I was there, too." "Foreign News Dept." "in Tanjug Press Agency." "December 1944." "Jelena and I are alone in the office." "Colonel Morozov, from TAS, is paying us a visit." "Excitement and fear." "Exhilaration, anxiety!" "This is the Foreign News Department, Colonel." "Comrade Kojovic, head of the department." "Good afternoon." "Welcome, comrade Morozov!" "Good afternoon, comrade." "What do we have today?" "News, as usual." "Do you translate everything?" "You understand them mumbling?" "I don't speak Russian." "This is Jelena Arandjelovic, a translator." "Good afternoon, comrade Jelena." "Did I pronounce it right?" "This girl isn't a Communist Party member?" "We're shot of qualified personnel." "We need her." "She speaks French and English." "Like she does Serbian." "I see." "We keep an eye on her, comrade Morozov." "Jelena." "Nice name for a nice girl." "I'm Krsman." "Do you have a family name?" "Everyone in Tanjug has heard of Major Krsman Jaksic!" "Comrade Krsman is in charge of Tanjug." "So, it's Jaksic?" "Jaksic in person!" "So, I'm off." "Farewell!" "Jelena." "You're out of your mind!" "I really can't." "What do they do here?" "Sing to the spring." "The others fart around." "Heart of gold, foul mouth!" "The foul mouth is mine." "Some schmucks have golden hearts." "You call your mother a bitch!" "'Cause she is a bitch." "The Maori wanted the bitch, but no luggage, please!" "So she dumps me at the airport." "Like excess baggage and sets off for New Zealand." "So, what do you want me to call her?" "She left you the house, sends you bucks." "She sends me fucks!" "Nothing for 3 months!" "He situation, you know." "A regular bitch, man!" "You're not mad at your dad?" "Not at all." "I feel sorry for him." "I buy him drinks, man!" "His young bride spends all the dough on war paint." "What's it to you?" "Nothing." "I'm just sorry, I am." "You always screw up things, Fatso!" "My only love, your photos are great!" "Say, are you working on that book?" "You really want to publish that?" "It'll pay off." "People spill money for that." "The past is trendy now." "What made you dig through the old papers?" "But you never cared for that." "I don't know." "When they started sniping." "Li'l ole Jela started typing." "Hey, I saw the man in a photo!" "Mr. Bogdan Bilogorac." "My friend and my fucking publisher." "Djura the Fats." "Awarrior, eh?" "You lacked iron, so you got some lead?" "Schmuck's fighting for the freedom of Moslavina!" "I guess you're already used to Bulika's sweet talk." "I gotta go." "Give me a call." "I mean, both of you." "Buzz off!" "I'll call you." "You called me Schmuck in front of him!" "I called him Fatso in front of you!" "And he is not fat." "Why does he call you Bulika?" "'Cause he's a moron." "He gave me that nickname." "it's not a Serbian name." "Like, short for bull terrier." "A fucking wisecrack, isn't it?" "Fuck Fatso!" "Let's sunbathe." "Check out how pretty I am!" "I'm bloody good for nothing, I am." "Like I'm all done in." "I wouldn't trade you for two healthy guys." "The catch is that we're broke." "Otherwise, I'd send you to the seaside." "Sea water can do wonders." "I wouldn't go." "Why wouldn't you?" "I won't go swimming while the lads are getting killed." "You're really nuts!" "You fucking gave two liters of blood." "And a quarter of meat for that Moslavina of yours!" "I am not from Moslavina." "I can't even say that other name." "Grubisino Polje." "Is it that hard to say?" "Grubisino Polje, at the foot of Bilogora." "OK?" "Yes." "Sorry, Jela." "I just need a bit of rest." "I walked a lot." "Just keep on lying there." "I'll sleep on the sofa." "Not for the life of me." "Don't piss me off." "Say, are you really set on going back to Bilogora, riding a white tank?" "We can't live anywhere else." "What's wrong here?" "Do what you want, study your geodesy." "I may do that." "But only after I regain father's and mother's house from the Croats." "Both my parents died in the Lord." "Say, Schmuck, make a rough estimate, how many Croats should be whacked to let you into your father's house on Bilogora?" "Nothing accurate." "Give or take a thousand." "We do to them what they do to us." "I wouldn't talk about that." "Let us not fight." "I must go to the loo." "Can you tell me a secret?" "What?" "How can you pee with that crutch?" "It's hard." "Shall I read granny's diary to you?" "Yes." "Where was I?" "Jelena asked Krsman." "To help their father Stavra." "My granny's stepfather." "What relation is he to me?" "Great grandfather." "Definitely." "And Jovan, Stavra's own son?" "Grandfather-uncle." "You're an expert, Schmuck!" "You won't fall asleep again?" "I shall not." "If you get bored, just say so." "I will not get bored." "Read it, please." "Jeja." "How could you call upon Krsman Jaksic?" "How could you talk with that bandit in the first place?" "Who will he help?" "He is secret police and a yokel." "What does he need Stavra's biography for?" "You really think those bandits will release Stavra?" "If you scribble that down?" "He is an ordinary Partisan brute." "Not quite ordinary." "A Partisan brute he is, but not quite ordinary." "He shows certain human traits." "Krsman?" "!" "Yes." "Human?" "Well, humanoid Para-human." "Would you like to read it?" "No." "Jeja, it is a shame." "How easily we get used to the worst." "I am not getting used to Krsman." "I am using him." "I only wish to help Stavra, your father and my stepfather." "He is the only being left to us." "He is not." "He was never with us." "Jeja, we are the two of us." "We are all alone in this world, aren't we?" "We are alone against the whole world." "Since we slept in the same crib." "We are the same person, Jeja!" "A single person!" "I love you, Jeja." "And you love me." "You cannot deceive me." "You love me, although you are unwilling to admit it." "Though only you know why we are not lovers anymore." "We have never been lovers, Jovan!" "We have." "We were children, Jovan!" "It did happen!" "It's sick, Jovan." "We are brother and sister!" ""None of you shall approach near of kin," says the Bible." "We don't have a single drop of common blood in us!" "We are tied as if we were twins, but not by blood!" "Stop it!" "Do you hear me?" "Stop it!" "Jelena." "Promise me something." "That you will never have anything to do with." "With whom?" "With Krsman." "Those who decide to live will have to do that in a world made for yokels." "The Krsmans will easily enter that world." "But we." "You and me, Jean, may enter it along with them." "But never without them." "I fell asleep again?" "it's OK." "Keep on." "We must get up early to see the doctor." "Good night." "Bilogorac!" "Bilogorac!" "Bogdan Bilogorac!" "What's the matter, hon?" "Bogdan, you're not a resident." "So?" "You need paper from the Immigration Office." "For a bandage change?" "For any medical service." "You never asked for it before!" "'Cause I'm a nice person!" "Nice as fucking lice!" "Fatso knows all the doctors." "He'll help you for sure." "Let's ring Fatso." "He's been selling them drugs." "He'll push you in with no fucking papers." "Get it?" "I don't want his help." "Why not?" "Because I think he is not just a friend of yours." "What do you think he is?" "Uncle or cousin of mine?" "I do not want his help." "You recovered?" "Don't fuck with me." "Be on the bus on Friday!" "Understood?" "Bogdan Bilogorac." "OK!" "You see?" "It's all right now." "All by the book." "Have you brought bandages?" "No." "What are we supposed to change then?" "Why didn't you tell us this morning?" "We had them then." "We've run out now." "Let's go, soldier boy." "Next time I wanna see you clean-shaven!" "Tea or coffee?" "Some magazines to read?" "You've got bandages?" "But of course!" "Everything will be all right." "Don't worry." "Just a tiny malignant growth." "I'll be seeing you." "Perhaps." "I am Dr. Cvetkovic." "What can I do for you?" "They've got no bandages in the hospital." "No bandages?" "!" "What times do we live in, good Lord!" "We'll do it in a minute." "If they can't help our wounded soldiers." "Whom can they help?" "!" "What times, good Lord!" "Your relation to the gentleman, miss?" "I'm his uncle." "I see." "How witty!" "In these hard timesf) a good joke is the best remedy!" "Is it done, nurse?" "Thank you." "Pleased to have met you." "See you in a week." "Perhaps." "How much do we owe you?" "The doc is such a nice guy ." "He's probably gay." "4,500" "Which thousands?" "!" "The latest denomination." "You cute, young woman, this patriot here gets 6,000 a month for all his needs." "The material alone costs us 3,000." "Empty your pockets." "We're 200 short." "Never mind." "You'll pay the next time." "You won't see us next time." "Am I right, Schmuck?" "Yes." "Cool!" "They took all our money away!" "I'll start working on the docks as soon as I recover." "When you recover, we'll play badminton." "You know what badminton is?" "Of course I do!" "Sorry." "I forgot it's the national sport in your Grdjajevica!" "You're kidding me, you are!" "Check out your folks!" "Not mine." "They are ours." "They are Serbs." "Why do they all wear blue jackets and brown trousers?" "Each time I see two of them together." "I wonder why don't they swap jackets." "These lads are of the same colour!" "This one?" "No, they've got better chow in Philology." "No patriotic speeches!" "I know." "Tell them you injured your leg playing polo." "With the Duke of Kent." "You are kidding me, you are!" "I'm not." "What's he talking about?" "Milosevic." "Bolshevism." "The past and the present." "But, he's cool." "A structuralist?" "No, a post-modernist." "Maybef) No idea." "You look like you're eating shit!" "I am ashamed." "We are not on the strike." "You don't say!" "They are and we are not!" "Fucking idlers, man!" "Say, what do you think, did Krsman screw granny?" "What's up?" "I ain't talking fancy like you 'cause I don't know how, but because I reckon our ways is better." "I feel stupid when I start howling like you." "Maybe I'll start mumbling your way." "Hey, what's up?" "!" "When I move to Senjak." "You ain't telling me." "Shall I take your old house at Senjak?" "They say I can choose." "We must talk to Jovan about that." "I ain't caring about Jovan." "I'm caring about you." "I'm caring what you think." "If you want me take another house, I ain't saying no." "You say Stavra is all right?" "A living soul needs a lot." "But he's all right." "You passed the parcel to him?" "Did he have a message for me?" "He ain't saying a lot." "Did he ask for something?" "He did?" "What did he ask for, Krsman?" "A rope." "A spoonful or two, we stuff zucchini, we do." "Atomato we add, never a better dish we had." "Where's the lady boss, Thunderbolt?" "Hi, you guys!" "We're jam-packed!" "Anything left in that shop?" "You only live once, Schmuck!" "Is that clever?" "When we chew all that, we'll be on strike again." "You get along with the beast now?" "We found a sort of common language." "A real bitch your mother is." "Sends you dollars." "Money spoils children." "Take this and shut up." "Blow me down!" "You shouldn't have." "Thanks." "Cut the crap." "Do you like pancakes?" "Get out of the kitchen, then." "Aye, aye, sir!" "What are you doing?" "This bag is a mess, it is." "I shall sort it." "I shall make the "lnventarium Helenae"." "I shall type your granny's scribbling." "Shall I play the Fifth?" "Please do." "Who can guarantee it ain't the Fourth?" "What will happen to Stavra Arandjelovic, Major?" "I'm doing my best." "They don't beat him anymore?" "Nope." "So they had, before you stepped in?" "Depends." "They ain't beating anybody in our jails." "What do they do?" "Separate black sheep from the flock." "And we unequivocally hope that Stavra is a white one?" "Unequivocally." "That's a good one!" "Unequivocally, Jovan!" "Krsman wanted to ask you something." "Didn't you, Krsman?" "Well, yes, but." "I reckoned you already telled him." "Imagine, she telled me not!" "Not a lot of telling there, anyway." "So, if I want, I can use your house." "The one at Serf yak." "Use?" "Yes." "From whom will you get it?" "From Grga Jankez, or precisely." "Committee of the Temporary Government of DFY." "DFY?" "What does it mean?" "Democratic Federal Yugoslavia." "Why would you ask me?" "Jelena wants me to take it." "She does?" "Ain't that so, Jelena?" "So, I thought we ask you?" "Don't ask me." ""I hate the people!"" "Shall I describe your last encounter with the people?" "Past tense, Jean!" "When they came to arrest Stavra:" ""Get back to your pigsty, filthy swine!"" "Against the rules, Jean!" " You speak of the rules!" "Presently, there are no rules." "You revoked them!" "No, there are no rules!" "The Earth is turning in various directions." "We had our tea." "We did, unequivocally!" "Think it over, Jovan." "We're human." "Farewell now." "What do you need the house for, Jelena?" "Every house they step into becomes a stable." "This Communist rubble stinks." "They kill their own parents when they get too old." "And you ask him to save Stavra!" "They wipe their asses with their fingers!" "They sing like howling wolves!" "They are full of lice, infected with mange!" "They would kill for a single plum!" "They will plough the streets of Belgrade!" "To make it look like their villages." "They fart in churches, belch at the table!" "They fuck sheep!" "Brutes!" "Bandits!" "Stop it, Jovan!" "Don't cry!" "Don't cry, Jeja, for goodness sake!" "Don't cry, for goodness sake!" "Don't make a fool of yourself!" "Did you sleep with him?" "Of course." "I cannot think about us." "Without thinking of death." "Death is not the worst thing on Earth." "What is worse?" "Poverty." "I didn't get the dough from the bitch." "So?" "Fatso gave it to me." "For the photos." "Why didn't you say so?" "You wouldn't take the sneakers or eat pancakes." "Not with his money, I wouldn't." "'Cause he was my boyfriend?" "Was he?" "He wasn't my boyfriend." "Actually, we made it once." "Like friends." "No reason to hate him." "It was nothing personal." "This is the fucking 20th century!" "Not your Moslavina." "You don't need a betrothal to touch a girl's tit." "Fuck the 20th century!" "Bogdan." "Listen to me!" "What I did with you." "That was personal." "Very personal, get it?" "How could you, with someone who called you a bull terrier?" "All you do here is kid around!" "But life is not like that!" "It's easy for you." "It's easy for you!" "If you get fed-up, you get a gun and shoot at the Croats!" "You think I should've waited for a wounded schmuck." "To run into me, and live in a convent in the meantime." "Dumb motherfucker!" "Don't go swearing like that!" "You swear too." "That's different." "I swear just like that." "But with you, it's like you really mean it." "I'll cut the swearing and you cut the crap." "OK?" "OK, Jela." "Hey, man!" "I say, man!" "Hello." "I'm Ljubisa Didic." "I am Bogdan." "Are you from our school?" "And hello to me, man?" "Philology, I mean?" "I studied in Osijek." "In Osijek?" "You were wounded?" "Yes." "A real war casualty!" "Milena!" "Yes?" "We've got a wounded man for the demonstrations!" "I'm Milena." "Bogdan, from Osijek University." "Where were you wounded?" "In the leg." "Oh, you mean." "At Bear's Head." "Where's that?" "On Tuckan's Hill" "Where's that?" "Right off Teocak." "Will you go marching with us?" "Your leg hurts." "My leg hurts." "When you get tired, just leave the column." "PEACE, BROTHER, PEACE" "PEACE, BROTHER, PEACE, I DON'T WANNA CRAWL," "'CAUSE IF I CRAWL, I CAN'T HAVE A BALL." "PEACE, BROTHER, PEACE!" "Please come in." "Sorry we're late." "Never mind." "It's revolution, you see." "Let me strain spaghetti." "This is my world." "When the Communists came to Belgrade in 1945." "They confiscated my house." "They left me this attic, "temporarily"." "I've been "temporarily" here for half a century." "Miss Jelena." "Can you help me with the strainer?" "I'll do it." "Schmuck has hands of gold." "And yours are like crippled." "Jela cannot." "Do a thing." "Who made you so big, Schmuck?" "!" "Why do you call him Schmuck, for God's sake?" "Because he is a schmuck." "He's wounded, but can't wait to be hit by a bullet again." "He put up with me and thinks that all humans are good." "Croats excepted, of course." "Do you need more evidence?" "Don't listen to her." "I know, this is her sweet talk, but." "But we are here to talk about my grandmother." "Do you think the brute balled Jelena?" "You're asking me if Jelena had an intimate relationship with Major Krsman?" "Or, if my granny, your Helen of Troy from Belgrade." "Fell for the baker?" "I bet she did!" "No!" "That is impossible!" "The naked intimacy of Jelena, who was all foam, white skin and golden hair ." "Jelena clad in virginally starched blouses, forbidden bourgeois lace." "The blond beauty in the arms of Krsman, the baker, rumoured to have killed a thousand men." "And slept with a thousand women," "I just cannot imagine!" "Which means I cannot believe it!" "If anything happened between them." "It was only because she wanted to save Stavra." "Was Stavra really guilty?" "He must have had a deal with the Krauts." "Guilty for the Partisans." "Not for the patriots." "He supported Chetniks." "He was an anti-fascist." "Jovan and Jelena?" "They were both snobs." "The Chetniks smelled of common people to them." "I remember her wrinkling her nose and saying:" ""Politics is for vulgarians."" "And now you say.." "That she fell in love with Krsman, the arch-vulgarian!" "I cannot imagine that!" "Leave me alone!" "I can imagine." "Me too." "Say Schmuck, it looks like you root for Krsman?" "!" "A little bit." "A Partisan big shot, yet I feel sorry for him." "Do you love me a bit?" "Would you marry me?" "Why do you love me?" "You're pretty and honest." "Pretty?" "Me?" "!" "Come on!" "It is easy loving you." "I never loved anyone like you." "Not even my mother and father." "None of the lasses." "I love you because you are off the wall." "I could not live without you." "What about the front?" "You say you love me and you're about to leave me!" "I'll never leave you." "You will, when you get killed!" "I won't get killed." "You will." "Thousands die." "As soon as a man is born, a grave opens for him." "Fucking necrophiliac!" "Jela, listen." "With us, on Bilogora, when you run into a friar , of you want to protect yourself, you must grab." "What do you have to grab?" "Your privates?" "Your cock's head?" "Don't swear!" "Lasses shouldn't say that sort of thing!" "You won't swear again?" "You won't go to the front?" "He runs after her, she throws a bucket at him." "She runs away and climbs ladder to the hayloft." "He catches her and throw her down." "She was dying a whole moon of time, me lad!" "My God, she was some lass!" "Did they catch the beast?" "They catch him 3 times a week and each time he's off." "Can you marry Milica now." "Since your own uncle killed her mother?" "Chickenshit!" "You got a bullet in the leg and shit in your pants!" "The best times have come now!" "Listen to what Joko says!" "Everything's allowed now!" "It never was like that!" "My own father is scared of me!" "You killed all those people!" "None of your folks, I swear." "They call us wild beasts because of the likes of you." "He who isn't of eastern faith is no bloody good." "I'd rather shoot a Croat." "Then own half the world." "There are some good Croats." "The hell there are!" "Belgrade buggers washed your brains!" "Blood has blinded your eyes!" "You want them to bloody thrash us, don't you?" "!" "Jela!" "Joko Muzdeka, from my village." "This is Jela." "So, the old Mr. Muzdeka is scared of you?" "Does he speak any Serbian, or is more fluent in barking?" "Jela, don't!" "Sometimes you must go out and piss even if you feel no urge." "I'll see you, Bogdan." "Listen to me!" "Don't look away!" "He came to lure you to the front." "No." "You're lying!" "I'm lying!" ""Inventarium Helenae"." "You know what." "Everything is sorted here." "I have typed everything that was hand-written." "You can compose your book now." "Still, there are holes." "Major ones." "We don't know if the baker laid granny." "Nor how Stavra killed himself." "We know that." "We have a report here." "It's all on paper." "He hanged himself." "But we don't know how." "Well, we don't know that." "But, remember what Krsman told Jelena in the car?" "You must do your bit of musing." "No book without that." "Comrade Major!" "Where's Stavra Arandjelovic?" "On duty today." "Scrubbing floors." "Anything to tell Jelena?" "Major!" "Thank you!" "What the fuck am I doing this for, Schmuck?" "What's the matter with you?" "!" "You must complete your book." "Find out who really was your grandpa:" "Krsman or Jovan." "Who gives a fuck about them?" "The dead shitheads!" "What do you mean?" "I don't care who he was." "You don't care whose blood is in your veins?" "I don't give a shit about blood!" "Whose line would you prefer?" "Krsman's or Jovan's?" "Jovan's of course." "I'd like it better if you were of Krsman's." "You're on the brute's side?" "Don't talk like that." "Krsman was no brute." "What was he then?" "A Renaissance humanist?" "Jovan, Jelena, Stavra, Krsman, all of them." "They were poor unfortunates in the sad times." "Check out what happens when a schmuck starts thinking!" "My sweet smart ass!" "Why do you love me, Jela?" "'Cause youre pretty and honest." "Motherfucker!" "REGISTRATION OF VOLUNTEERS" "Jela, I had to." "What time does the contingent of fresh Serbian veal leave?" "At 16.00." "By refrigerator trucks?" "By buses." "Where to?" "I don't really know." "The new ones will go through some drill first." "But I'm a trained artillery man." "I'll burn myself up like a regular Indian widow!" "Don't yell here." "There's people." "I don't give a fuck for them, you or your shitty war!"
