" Close the road block." " Yes, sir." " Don't let any vehicle go through." "What's going on?" "Are you opening?" "I just got an order to close." "An order?" "Now of all times?" "What happened?" "He didn't say, just told me to close it." "Are you trying to drive me nuts?" "You can't do this to me," "I'm two hours late as it is, people are waiting for me," "I'm in the middle of work." "Open it up and let me through." "Sir, I can't do that." "I'm sorry." "What do you mean you can't?" " Ceausescu!" " Yeah." " Chicken!" "What's your name?" "Abu Maher." " Abu Maher?" "Abu Maher, I've got something good for you." " Good?" "Here, it's a special breeding from our coop, please." "I can't." "Who's in charge here?" " The commander." "May I speak to him?" "I'd like to have a word with him." "Call him." "Here." "Commander Nabil." " What is it, Abu Maher?" "Trouble." " What kind of trouble?" "Jews." "I'll be right there." "O.K, what's going on here?" "A block in the middle of the day?" " Marziano!" "What are you doing here?" "♪ Our chicken and you chicken cry in the same language. ♪" "♪ Our dogs and your dogs... ♪ screwed me with this road block." "So Marziano, I see you're still hanging out with the chicken." "What else do we have in life?" "Only chicken." "That's what life is all about." "Who taught you to play with the eggs like that, you hooligan." "Nabil, we miss you at the coop." "We really do." "Ceausescu, do you know who this is?" "Do you know who this is?" "This is an old friend of mine." "We've been friends for twenty years." " You've come a long way," "I see you have white workers now." "You haven't changed at all." "This is personal import from Romania." " Martin." " Yeah." "Welcome to our country." "Welcome." "He used to work for me, just like you." "No, I wasn't a worker, I was a laborer." "What difference does it make?" "It's all the same." "No it's not." "The Arabs are laborers," "Romanians are workers, and the Jews are the managers." "That's how it is with you." " I had no work in Romania, that's why here me." " Great, Great..." "So you're here..." "in charge of this road block?" "Yes." " Good." "When are you opening it?" "Depends on the orders I get." " What orders?" "From the regional commander." " I'm two hours late, Nabil, don't give me any trouble." " I'm sorry, Marziano." "How long will it take?" "It can take a minute, an hour or a whole day." "A whole day?" "I'm stuck here with the chicken!" "Marziano, you must understand this is a road block, it's either open or closed." "If I let you through, I have to let everyone through." "If it's open, fine, but..." "But who will know?" "It's only me, Ceausescu and the chicken!" "Listen, Marziano, I was happy to see you, but I have work to do." " You have work to do?" "I've been on the road for 4 hours, my chicken are almost roasted, I'm loosing a lot of money!" "There are other roads, take them." " Other roads?" "Are you letting me through or not?" " No." "Abu Maher, take care of things." "So will you sell me the Peugeot?" "Ceausescu!" "Yeah, Boss." " Get some more water." "Tell me something, do you think these are Romanian chicken?" "Why are you giving me beer?" " No water." "To life." "Hell." " Go, go away now!" "Nabil!" "Nabil, come here." "Look what you've done." "Look." "Dead!" "Dead!" "Please go back to your side." " What are you doing?" "What do you think you're doing?" "I'm not even talking about us, stuck here, burning in the car, but my chicken will all die." "Do you understand?" "Don't you feel for the chicken?" "I don't feel for them?" "I used to live with them in the coop." "I slept with the chicken and woke up with the chicken." "You lived with them..." "what did you expect?" "A bed with a down quilt?" "Those were the conditions, what did you expect?" "You knew it, didn't you?" "Yes." "And now you're on my land, and these are the conditions." "Please go back to your car." "Who are you to tell me what to do?" "Who do you think you are?" " I'm the commander." "You're the commander?" "Commander..." "Go to hell, you and your road block." "You were a hired hand, and you'll always be a hired hand." "A stinking Arab hired hand, that's what you are." "What are you staring at?" "Get in the car now!" "Abu Maher, go take care if it." "Son of a bitch, an Arab telling me what to do in my own country." "Sir Marziano, it's a road Block!" "A Road block!" "You think you're scaring me with your weapons?" "Go ahead, shoot me if you're a man, if you have balls." "Shoot me!" "Go ahead shoot me!" "Carrying a gun..." "Put her back..." " Shut up!" " Stay out of it!" "Go ahead, shoot me." "Do you think you scare me?" "Afraid to waste your bullets?" "Just shoot me, go ahead." "I fed you for twenty years..." " Calm down, Marziano." "Got a few stripes and now you think you're God, is that it?" "No, no, no..." "Boss Marziano!" "Boss Marziano!" "No!" "Stop." "Why?" "Not good." "Why because a chicken you break a block?" "Not good."
