"Coffee?" "Mhm..." "How about "Good morning"?" "Good morning." "Yesterday was great." "Fun." "Wasn't it?" "Ramutis, come on, talk to me." "So." "So... talk." "So I'm talking." "Well good, let's talk about what happened last night." "Why couldn't you sleep?" "I saw you tossing and turning..." "Everything's fine." "No it's not, Ramutis, I saw you." "Everything's fine." "Come on, I want to know whats bothering you." "Well come on, 49 LTL for a steak." "You think that's normal?" "49 LTL for a chunk of meat, I don't know, you can buy a whole pig for that amount." "Ramutis... it's just once a year." "We celebrated our anniversary, went to a restaurant, and now you're upset about how much it cost." "Come on..." "And that steak was delicious." "And you were so funny when you danced..." "I had a great time yesterday." "'Valdas Bičkus released from jail"?" "Wait a minute..." ""Investigators are still looking for the missing 300 mill..."" "Right, right." ""In his suicide note he claims that he deeply regrets placing all the blame on the head of the financial department, Valdas Bičkus." "Documents proving this were left with the letter."" "Right..." "What, he's innocent?" "'When things got hard, his wife left him after..."" ""...soon after, she married Ramutis Taraila, a physical education teacher from the same school."" "Breaking news from Lithuania." "An unexpected turn in the big international export bank affair." "New circumstances have emerged and former head of the bank's investment department Valdas Bičkus has been released from prison." "Bičkus had been sentenced to six years of imprisonment when it was discovered that over 300 million litas had disappeared from the bank." "In light of recent events, the general prosecutor now says that new physical evidence proves without a doubt that Valdas Bičkus is innocent." " Excuse me, would you mind answering a few questions..." " Are you going to go back to your wife?" " Are you going to return to your family...?" "Bičkus was the only person charged in the bank case." "Under the new circumstances, the prosecution admits that the investigation will have to be reopened in order to give the public an answer to the question of where the more than 300 million litas that disappeared is now." "We continue with news from Lithuania." "The economy." "With the Christmas shopping boom approaching, the question remains of how much Lithuanians will be spending on gifts this year." "A trend has been observed for several years now to allot..." "Hi." "Hi." "So, how many?" "7 articles." "Am I mentioned?" "Yes." "As school principal Ramutis Taraila or as your husband?" "My husband." "Are there any comments?" "Of course there are." "Are they good?" "Ramutis, when are comments ever good?" "You're a mess..." "Go ahead, read them." "Are you sure?" "Alright...so." "We traitor, betrayed her innocent husband." "Betrayed her husband at the very first chance." "Bitch." "Lover of the good life." "Right from a banker to a principal." "Oh, this is definitely Vaicekauskienè, she's on sick leave." "Well, I'll show her." "Right..." "The principal is a dickhead." "Go on." "Vile traitor." "Old bag." "Nice, nice, nice - people just write that stuff because they're jealous." "Go on, read the normal ones." "Disgusting broad, what do men see in her." "I don't know, I can't find any." "When are they going to release him anyway?" "Hes already been released." "Already?" "I already told you that, Ramutis." "Are you scared?" "Why should I be scared?" "I'm not the one who stole his wife." "Well, hello, so I stole you..." "You stole yourself." "What is he going to do to me?" "What is he going to do to you?" "He spent 3 years in prison." "Whith all kinds of killers and perverts, rapists." "What is he going to do to him." "I don't know, kill you." "Come on..." "So they set him free?" "Ramutis, I already told you that they released him." "Set him unfree..." "Where are you going?" "I... have to." "What do you have to?" "Well, I have to go to see..." "See who?" "See... see a friend, to ask for some advice." "What friend?" "Well..." "Well, look, if he comes here, tell him I'm away somewhere, at a sports event, the Olymp... well I don't know, in London or something..." "Hold on, hold on, Ramutis." "What, you're planning on leaving me all alone here?" "Well what's the big deal, he won't do anything to you..." "Ramutis Taraila, if you go through that door, you're never coming back, got that?" "Hey." "Hi." "Oh, my slippers." "Your wife... my wife..." "Laimutè gave them to me." "That's OK." "May I?" "Thanks." "So hi." "Hi." "How are you?" "Fine now." "How about you?" "Fine." "You look good." "Thanks." "You do too." "So did you just come to visit?" "No." "Who comes home to visit..." "Wait..." "That's it." "They let me go." "So..." "I'm free, innocent." "Yeah." "I know..." "Sol came home." "We" " I mean, if you figured it out" " Ramutis and I live here now." "I married Ramutis." "I know, I read about it." "Ramutis." "Valdas." "Congratulations." "Thanks." "So you're here to pick something up?" "Well actually, no." "I don't need anything." "But still, you want something." "Tea?" "We have green, black and Indian." "What's Indian?" "Green." "What's the difference?" "There is none." "Well then give me the Indian." "Yeah." "Whith sugar?" "3." "Right?" "Yeah." "Well..." "So as you know, I'm now..." "I'm married to Ramutis, you see?" "I know." "And now the two of us live here." "Yeah, yeah, I know." "Together." "Well yeah, it would be strange if you lived apart." "So..." "I don't get it, you understand that you cant stay here?" "So where am I supposed to live?" "Well, I mean, how do I know." "No, I mean, that's it, they let me go, I..." "I came home." "I mean... this is my home..." "Well yeah, yours, but what does that mean." "OK, fine, half mine." "So half yours." "But still, Valdas, well you cant live here, do you understand that?" "I can live in my half." "Ramutis and I live here." "Do you understand that, Valdas?" "So live in your half." "Come on, you're being ridiculous, I mean..." "I don't get it..." "Well good, so you can't stay here, that's crazy." "So you live in your half and I'll live in mine." "Well, fine, but..." "Here you go." "What?" "Thanks." "Where are you going to sleep?" "Well... here, on the couch." "I'll stretch out and that's it." "Oh, this couch is really uncomfortable." "Can I ask the PE teacher a question?" "I'm the principal." "Then listen to me, principal." "Have you ever been to prison?" "What's all this now... why are you asking?" "I'm asking you if you've even been in prison." "No." "Well I have." "I know." "For 3 years." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "So when I was sent to prison, I was put in a cell, you know where?" "The one with murderers and killers." "But not the ones who kill when they're free - the ones who kill in prison." "They're much worse." "There was one who killed someone with a toothbrush." "First he jammed the toothbrush in the guy's braces and pulled out his teeth, and then he stabbed him in the neck." "And he killed a writer who used to write letters to his wife." "And all the other guys in the cell used to copy them because he wrote them so well." "So when he was killed, one of the guys realized that his old lady wouldn't be getting any more letters." "So he killed the guy who killed the writer." "And he got so pissed that he took a mouse that someone else had been raising in ajar filled with little pieces of paper." "And he petted it so hard that he squeezed it to death." "And there went the mouse." "That's it." "The mouse died." "And the guy whose mouse it was says 'Where's my mouse?"" "And the other guy sticks out his tongue at him." "So that guy hits him over the head with the jar and cuts his tongue in half." "So that guy's got blood gushing from his mouth, you know?" "So you've got to do something so they don't see." "So they grabbed his head and stuck it in a mattress so as not to pollute the environment." "So he could bleed into cotton, you know?" "So when I came, that was the mattress they gave me, get it?" "So that was the mattress I slept on." "So I'd lie there and I could hear blood clotting, you know?" "Are you done?" "I kept thinking that maybe maybe he wanted to tell me something?" "And now I'm done." "So, Mr. PE, did you find that interesting?" "Interesting, but I still don't get where that jar came from." "Well it was a pickle jar." "Now look, storyteller." "I'll give it to you straight." "Valdas Bičkus, you are not going to live here." "Got that?" "Got it." "Laima?" "Laima!" "Laima!" "What?" "That's what." "What happened, Ramutis?" "That happened." " Good morning." " Hi." "So?" "I got up, go to the bathroom, get in the shower, and I hear someone coming." "Well I thought it was you, that you got up too... and I pull open the curtain, look out, and this guy is peeing and looking me over." "You were looking him over?" "I was not looking him over." "I was peeing and he opened the shower curtain and was looking at me." "OK, the light is on, the water is running, so now you're going to go in the bathroom, right, and go pee when you can see somebody's already there?" " Did you knock?" " No." "Why didn't you knock?" "Why didn't he lock the door'?" "Well, hello, so now I have to start locking the door in my own home?" "So fine, and if you're in the shower, he's also going to come in to pee?" " OK, fine, and what if I had come in?" " So what?" "You're my wife." " Ex." " Ex!" "OK, that's enough." "When you shower, you don't pee, when you pee - you don't shower." "And we knock." "Have a nice day." "Ramutis, wait." "Come here." "Listen, let me take another look, huh?" "Laima!" "Come on, Mr. PE, I'm kidding." "What are you doing here?" "Looking." "For what?" "Well, for that... that thing that disappeared." "I can't find it anywhere." "Have you seen it?" "I looked there, I looked there, and now..." "It disappeared somewhere." "You understand..." "Give me your hand." "Ramutis, what are you looking for'?" "Well where that..." "Ramutis." "I can't figure out where I put it..." "I looked in the bedroom and..." "Will you talk?" "See... it's disappeared, like into thin air." "Hey Mr. PE, how much do you make at that little school of yours?" " I'm the principal." " OK, principal." "How much do you make?" "Well, I can't tell you, it's a state secret." "Two grand?" "I can't tell you." "Two and a half?" "Three?" "What, three and a half?" "3,600 before tax." "Wow, 3,600 before tax." "Listen, you make 3,600 before tax." "You pay 30% for social security tax, right?" "Well yeah, I'm an honest citizen, I pay taxes." "So listen, honest citizen, you pay another 20% to the state." "You buy things, food, a refrigerator, and you pay VAT, right?" "Right." "So out of your three and a half, you give away two thirds in taxes." "Right?" "So." "So right." "And they..." "They who?" "Well the ones who make hundreds of millions." "Well they pay two thirds in taxes too." "What, are they special?" "Listen, honest citizen." "They pay a little over half a percent." "And they even don't pay - they just take it and toss it." "So you know, taking another 300 million from them, well I don't think that would exactly be dishonest, right?" "Now you listen, honest citizen, why did you lie to Laimutè that you weren't looking me over?" "I never lie to Laimutè." "So you never lie to Laimutè but you lie to me?" "Why?" "Well then fine, so you lied to Laimutè that you weren't looking me over when I clearly saw that you were looking me over." "I'm telling you that I don't lie." "I opened the curtain and you were looking me over." " Listen, Mr. PE, don't start, alright." " I'm the principal." "OK, principal, don't start again." "I was not looking." "Swear to it." "Give me a break, like I'm going to start taking oaths." " I'm telling you, swear to it." " Well how am I supposed to do that?" "Like in parliament." "Like always." "I, Valdas Bičkus, solemnly swear that at 6:00 this morning, when I was in the bathroom heeding to nature's call," "I saw two eyes twinkling to my left." "Then my gaze lowered to a muscular chest." "And then, realizing what I would see next, I turned my gaze aside." "And I saw nothing more, I swear." " Swear up and down." " Side to side isn't enough?" "Swear up and down." "What, everyone swears up and down in parliament?" "They do." "I don't get it." "Ramutis, why don't you believe me, huh?" "We live together, we have to stick together." "And I really want to be your friend, I want to help you." "I don't need your help." "Fine, you don't need it." "But I need yours." "If you help me, it won't be unreciprocated." "So you... you have that money?" "For me." "300 million?" "About." "Put 'em on the table." "Then he right out..." "Yeah but how much did you say, 300 million..." "About." "Come on, Ramutis, you believe all that crap." "What crap, that money couldn't have just disappeared, so that means it does exist somewhere." "Well but whatever they tell you, you believe it." "So how can I not, I mean, where it that money, it couldn't have just disappeared." "Hello." "Speaking." "Yes." "What happened?" "No, I..." "I have three classes tomorrow, but I'll ask Lebedninkaitè to substitute for me." "Yes." "No, no, none..." "OK." "What's it on?" "I see, OK." "Have a nice..." "Yes." "Yeah." "Goodbye." "Who was that?" "Wow." "That was from the Ministry." " They're sending me on a business trip." " When?" "Tomorrow." "Why so suddenly?" "I didn't really understand, somebody got sick or something, so basically there's one free spot." "So who's going to substitute for you?" "I'll call Lebedninkaitè." "I'll give her three classes." "Well if you're going, you're going." "Where?" "To Klaipèda." "Klaipèda." "Mm?" "Both." "For how long?" "Four days." "I'll be back Monday evening." "That one, that one." "What... what are you doing?" "What do mean what?" "I'm packing for you." "Why?" "Well because you're leaving, Ramutis." "Oh... and why aren't you stopping me?" "Well how am I supposed to stop you?" "Ramutis, it's too bad you're leaving." "Ramutis, it's too bad you're leaving." " Don't make fun of me." "I'm not." "This one or this one?" "For Gods sake, pack me a globe, too." "I'm kidding." "She's kidding." "Every time they send me on a business trip you mope around like it's the end of the world, but now..." "Wait." "Wait a minute." "So you want to say you're happy I'm leaving?" "It means you can spend 4 days with your husband here." "Is that your plan?" "Huh?" "Caught red-handed, are you?" "Are you jealous?" "What does jealousy have to do with it?" "I'm not jealous of anything." "Don't you trust me?" "I trust you, but I don't trust that bastard." "And what, you think it's normal to spend 4 days with your husband under the same roof?" " With my ex-husband." " Well fine, but under the same roof." "Well it's his half." "His half, your half." "Is there anything left here for me at all?" "The refrigerator." "The refrigerator." "He even took my slippers away from me." "And in general, do you even know what people are saying about us at school?" " What?" " About you." "You know what they're saying?" "It'll be interesting to see who Laima Bičkuvienè-Tarailienè will choose" " Bičkus or Taraila." "That's it." "Tomorrow you take sick leave and I'm not going to leave you alone here with that bum for 4 days." "You'll take sick leave and we'll go to Klaipèda." "You can go to the Dolphinarium, I don't know, and walk around while I'm there." "Got it?" "You're not staying here." "Ramutis, don't annoy me with these idiotic jealousy attacks of yours." "Don't annoy me." "Laimutè..." "Did you make it?" "No, I'll send it out tomorrow." "Are you going somewhere?" "No." "You're all made up." "Me?" "Excuse me." "What are you making?" "Potato casserole." "Does Ramutis like it too?" "Ramutis won't be here." "He went to take his friends place for 4 days, to some conference or something, I don't know." "Excuse me." "So you don't like potato casserole, Ramutis isn't here, so who are you making it for?" "Do you know that your potato casserole was the best in prison?" "We used to just wait for the day when you brought it." "You know, by the time I used to get it, all the edges would be eaten off." "And the warden's lips would be all greasy." "At the end of the year we had this event." "The Golden Cracklings Award." "You won second prize." "Why second?" "See, you're a little weak with sauces." "We had all kinds." "We loved the one with spare ribs." "And one guy... there was this new guy, and he cried for 2 days after tasting your potato casserole." "Why?" "He said he never tasted potatoes grated like that." "One woman managed to sneak in a laptop... hidden in a potato casserole." "So when she brought it, the computer was still hot, you couldn't even touch the keyboard." "We had all kinds of stuff there." "Can I give you a hand?" "Sure." "Excuse me." "Just like the good old times." "Like the good old times... you never used to be home." "You were always at work..." "I used to sit around all the time alone, waiting..." "What were you thinking, that you'd make all the money in the world?" "But you didn't understand that I needed you, not the money." "I'm sorry." "But somebody had to make money." "Well... make money." "But not steal it." "Laimutè..." "I didn't steal that money." "Well you were stupid not to." "Because now there's neither money nor you." "And what if that money does exist?" "Do you need money?" "What kind of stupid question is that?" "No, I don't." "Sol don't get it, what do you want?" "That's the whole problem, that you don't understand what I want." "Excuse me." "Listen, what do you have hanging here?" "Here." "Ramutis?" "Why did you come back?" "What happened?" "Why is the door locked?" "It's always locked." "No, no, the key is in the lock." "I couldn't open it." "Maybe I forgot." "Oh." "Are you going somewhere?" "No." "Why are you made up?" "Me?" "No, me." "Yeah." "And whats this, some fancy lunch?" "Why are there only two plates?" "Because you're away on a business trip." "Well I'm not anymore." "Yeah." "So what's the deal, your husband goes away on a business trip and the drinking begins?" "Hello." "Since when did you start wearing perfume at home, huh?" "Since when did you start getting dressed up and wearing perfume?" "Why are you clamming up?" "Caught red-handed, are you?" "The potato casserole is burning." "I don't like potato casserole." "I wasn't making it for you." "Oh, the casserole's not for me." "Nice." "Your husbands on a business trip and the parties begin, potato casseroles and all." "And who was talking about trust, huh?" "Yeah, go on your business trip, it's fine." "Trust, right?" "So what, fancy lunch today, fancy dinner tomorrow, and the day after that - a fancy breakfast in bed?" "TARAILA!" "Stop being ridiculous." "I can stand your stupidity, but I will not put up with these idiotic jealousy attacks of yours, got it?" "You will not embarrass me in front of my ex-husband." "Now listen." "You will not step foot in the bedroom not just for 2 days, but all week." "Is that clear'?" "You just be quiet." "Here you think..." "Laimutè..." "Laimutè!" "It's too bad you don't like potato casserole..." "I do." "I like it a lot." "More." "What are you saying, Ramutis?" "Really?" "Listen, I understand how it hurts for you." "Ramutis, don't say anything else, I understand." "Ramutis, be quiet, let me talk, I'll tell you." "I'll tell you what I feel for you." "I feel that you have to get out of here." "If it's torture for you to be with her, run away and don't look back." "Ramutis, just go." "If you can't be yourself, it means you can't live." "And as your best friend, I want you to have a beautiful life and find what your heart desires." "Ramutis, there's only one thing I ask of you." "Promise you won't forget me." "You promise?" "Thanks." "Hey, Ramutis?" "Get up." "Listen, if you want to smoke, let's smoke." "Let's smoke." "What about the ashes?" "We'll clean up later." "I have a lady friend." "Really?" "I'm happy..." "We met at the prison hospital." "I was sick and she took care of me." "She's a nurse." "Nurse Villija." "She has a daughter, not married." "Some guy got her pregnant and then left her." "Well, you know, I fell in love at first sight." "Ah, but you won't understand." "I know what love at first sight is." "Promise me that what I say now stays here, under this exhaust hood." "Agreed?" "Agreed." "Will you have a shot with me?" "Always." "Well, to us." "But nobody nobody." "15 years ago, a friend and I were on vacation at the shore." "And one night we stopped by the Wild Snail Café," "I don't know, maybe that cafe isn't even there anymore, and I saw this girl there." "She was, well, you say that I don't know what love at first sight is, but I'm telling you, I just saw her and, and, and that's it, I just froze, you have no idea, I saw... that's it, you just know that's the person you want to spend the rest of your life with," "the person you want to die with, you know?" "And so for like five days, we were, you know, inseparable, we went everywhere together." "And you know, it's like when you get goose bumps, you're almost afraid to touch, you know." "Really, really, and she... and one night, you know, me and my friend were sitting there, and there was this huge fight and we got beat up," "I still even have a scar, and I ended up in the hospital and... and I never saw her again..." "Get out of here, Mr. PE, that's beautiful..." "No, but can you imagine..." "How often I have to go to Palanga now... everything just shakes, I..." "Get out of here, Mr. PE, that's beautiful..." "No, you just understand that love, I don't know, if I saw her, well I'd..." "Go on, don't stop." "What?" "Wait a minute." "What are you doing here?" "Why aren't you sleeping?" "I'm sleeping." "Who's home?" "I am." "Oh, what's this?" "Lunch." "Lunch." "Lunch for three?" "Yeah." "Do you think Ramutis will like it?" "Are you mocking me?" "Mocking?" " Huh?" " Mocking who?" "Are you hungry?" "Why don't you answer, did you work out too hard?" "Would you mind explaining whats going on?" "Well this is the way it is now." "Valdas." "It needs to cook for a couple more minutes... what?" "No, I'm not talking about that." "Would you please explain whats going on here?" "What this friendship of yours with my husband is all about?" "What those intimate all-night conversations of yours are all about?" "Well, you know..." "Well you were also good that night." "Valdas, please answer my question." "Why are you pretending to be my husbands best friend and completely ignoring me?" "I'm the one who's your wife and you don't pay any attention to me at all." "But he's the one who's your husband - you're his wife, not mine." "So what?" "I still want you to see me as a woman." "I also want to see you as a woman." "But you're a married woman." "But not dead." "Valdas, I'm tired of waiting to understand whats going on here." "Why you're here, and what you need." "What are you up to here?" "Isn't there anything you want to tell me?" "You know..." "I spent all 3 years thinking about what to tell you." "But when I came back, everything just evaporated." "Because it wasn't you who opened the door..." "Are you mocking me again?" "Who's home?" "Both of us." "Hmm, what a smell, is something burning in here?" "Your ass is burning." "Yours too." "What did I do again?" "What are you worried about, she'll calm down." "Want something to eat?" "Yeah." "Lunch for three." "Yeah, here you go." "To us." "Yeah, give me your plates and dig in." "Of course, best friend first, right?" "Right." "A little more." "Good." "Thanks." "A little closer." "Thanks." "You're welcome." "Bread?" "And a little more." "Bon appetite." "Delicious." "But it's hot, be careful." "Hello?" "Good afternoon." "Yes, he is." "Valdas." "Hello?" "Hi." "Hi, Villija." "No, I'm having lunch." "Yeah." "What?" "She who?" "Oh, here, it's my ex-wife." "No, there's nothing between us, really." "Well, just some property issues." "She has a husband." "The principal, right." "Listen, I'll call you later, OK?" "Yeah, I'm eating lunch right now." "Yeah." "Tell her I say hi..." "OK, see you." "Good." "OK, I'll tell them." "Good, yeah..." "Hang up." "So what's so funny that you're supposed to tell us?" "So tell us, Valdas." "Tell us what's so funny." "Tell your ex-wife." "I understand that there's nothing special between us, nothing that binds us anymore, nothing." "Just, unfortunately, those property issues, right?" "Well, come on Valdas, tell us what she said that was so funny?" "Come on, out it out." "What do you mean out it out, tell me." "I'm waiting." "Well what are you picking on him for now." "A person is entitled to a private life, isn't he?" "Oh, now we have a lawyer here too, do we?" "I have no idea what's gotten into you." "it's as if it's not him who's your ex-husband, but me." "You just keep quiet with your summer ﬂings." "You Don Juan,you." "What, are you jealous?" "I don't get it, maybe a person just wants to have a normal relationship again, maybe he wants to be married again, like me." "I definitely don't want to get married again," "I already rushed into it once, thank you." "Rushed?" "Once?" "Did I hear you right?" "Valdas?" "Don't get all wound up, OK?" "Rushed?" "No, why, I'd really like to hear when it was that you rushed there and how long you rushed." "Laimutè, we've talked about this." "What do you mean we've talked about this?" " You want to go through this again..." " I don't want anything with that... it's just a huge surprise for me to hear that you rushed into it." "I didn't know that." "So let's leave that surprise alone, OK?" "No, well fine, let's not leave it, let's clear things up, once and for all." "Fine, so tell me, how did you rush into it, how did you rush into it, huh?" " You want to clear things up now?" " Yes, I want to clear things up now." " Clear things up, right here at the table?" "Yes." "Am I getting in your way?" "Please be quiet." "No, no, go ahead." "Why aren't you letting my friend speak?" "So now we're going to start controlling who can talk at the table and who can't?" "Great, two best friends." "Fuck you both!" "And live together." "Don't worry, pal." "Now you listen to me, Valdas Bičkus." "I am not your pal." "Come on, Mr. PE, are you serious?" "I am the principal to you!" "Got it?" "The principal." "What are you sitting here for anyway?" "Why did you move in here, did you leave something here?" "Money, no money" " I'm sick of it, OK?" "I'm fed up." "Do you understand that she has never been jealous of me?" "Never, and now she's making scenes like this." "In general, we..." "Do you realize that we have to do everything silently in there?" "Because you're sleeping right here." "Do you know that everyone at school is laughing at us?" "They call us swingers." "Do you understand that, can you grasp that or not?" "That I searched the entire apartment trying to find who knows what." "Our friendship is over, I'm leaving you, and you can stay alone here with all your rotten mussels." "Hello, Villija?" "Can you talk?" "Listen, everything's changed." "Yeah, come over... 3-14DebrecenoStreet." "No, don't bring anything, I have everything." "Well yeah, of course, it'll be the two of us." "No, no, they definitely won't be here." "Bye." "See you soon." "They will be here, won't they, Ramutis?" "Won't they, Laimutè." "We're not going anywhere." "Wow." "Who's this beautiful woman hitchhiking?" "Can I give you a lift to the shower?" "What's wrong?" "Why did you lock the door?" "Because you told me to." "But not when we're alone at home." "Laimutè, I'm sorry, but we don't live alone." "He can come in any time and look me over again." "It's too late." " Come on..." " I said it's too late." "Listen, Ramutis." "I can't do this anymore." "I can't." "I'll go crazy." "What kind of life is this?" "We don't spend any time alone, there's constantly some kind of conﬂict, constantly..." "And you?" "Ramutis, what have you turned into?" "Some kind of a snoop." "I come home, everything's turned upside down." "What are you looking for, Ramutis, what do you keep looking for'?" "Are you looking for money, or what?" "What money are you looking for'?" "Do you think I don't understand?" "No, well I'm..." "I'm just curious, I mean... if you had that 300 million, you know, you would still..." "He had to put it somewhere." "I searched every corner of this apartment, but even if you had it in large denominations, you'd still have to put it somewhere that you couldn't hide." "So either he's buried it somewhere or it doesn't exist at all." "Are you listening to what you're saying?" "What's wrong with your head?" "What money?" "Laimutè, wait a minute." "Now he's got that woman, that Vilija or whatever, so they're going to want to spend some time together, sleep together, maybe do a thing or two together." "But the four of us cant live here together, so..." "Ramutis, either you figure this situation out like a man, or I'm leaving this home like a woman." "To get some rest." "OK, OK, Laimutè." "When Valdas comes home I'll talk to him, man to man." "Because really, we can't go on like this, so, well, I'll demand that he leaves, OK?" "Promise?" "Promise." "But now..." "I deserve an advance." "A tiny little advance..." "You choose." "There or there..." "OK." "I'll wait for you there." "We'll make like Pinnocchio." "Hello, the royal suite has been reserved by principal Ramutis Taraila and his wife Laima Tarailienè." "May I come in?" "Laimutè?" "Laimutè..." "Laimutè, the most beautiful of all..." "Laimutè, Laimutè, Laimutè..." "Laimutè?" "We'll just stay a few minutes, we'll chat and that's it, come on, come on..." "OK, OK..." "We need to replace this..." "So this is where I live." "You live here." "Laimutè?" "Ramutis?" "Hey, is anybody home?" "We're coming in." "Don't shout, maybe they're sleeping?" "They're not sleeping." "My ex-wife." "Laimutè." "Hello." "And this is Ramutis, Vilija." "Where's Laimutè?" "In the shower." "In the shower." "We'll stand here and wait." "So maybe..." "while we're waiting..." "Hello." "Hi Ramutis." "Hi Villija." "It's been ages." "Listen, how about some tea, huh?" "Ramutis makes great Indian tea." "Ramutis?" "Or if you don't want tea, that's fine." "How about some music?" "I'll put on some music." "15 years, 4 months and 3 days." "That's a pretty long time." "And Aušrelè will be 15 soon." "Maybe we should take this off?" "Is that right..." "Who's Aušrelè?" "Who's Aušrelè, come on, Ramutis..." "Aušrelè..." "She used to say: "Where's my dad, where's my dad?"" "I'd say I don't know." "How was I supposed to know?" "I love you, I love you, I'll marry you, I'll marry you." "No, I got beat up and they put me in the hospital." "Right, right." "They beat him up." "Badly." "So why didn't you tell me?" "How could I have told you?" "You disappeared." "You just up and disappeared." "Just like that." "You..." "Dad..." "Vilija, Villija!" "What's going on in here?" "What's going on?" "What was that noise?" "Where?" "Here!" "Where's Ramutis?" "Here." "Valdas, where's Ramutis?" "What?" "I'm asking where Ramutis is." "He left." "Left?" "And where are you off to?" "I just got back." "Wait." "Explain this to me." "What's going on?" "Where's Ramutis?" "He left." "Where did he go?" " He got pregnant and left." " Who got pregnant and left?" "So she came, she's looking." "Valdas, would you please explain all this to me normally, I don't understand anything." "Where is Ramutis and who got pregnant?" "She's standing there, I'm watching," "I moved away, and she says, you, me, and that's it..." "Who "you"?" " Do you get it?" " I don't get anything." "Exactly." "What do you mean exactly?" "Tell me what you're talking about." "Please." "She was standing there and then left." "That's it." "Nothing." "Daughter." "Who?" "I think she has a family." "So I paid the bill and saw Villija home." "So Villija is already, well, ready?" "Listen, I'm really sorry that everything turned out this way." " You're really not angry?" " No, no..." "PE teacher..." "No, no..." "Just imagine, we come back to her place, and this 15 years old gill opens the door." "It's Aušra." "Daughter." "Mr. PE, so you're a father." "Congratulations." "Pretty, blond, with hair to here, and freckles." "So she looks like you?" "Yeah, very, very, beautiful, beautiful, she really does look a lot like me." "She saw me, you know, gave me a hug, and started to shout "dad, dad"." "And then she ran to the corner, over by the TV, and started crying." "Then Vilija saw her and she started crying, then her mom came down and she started crying." "All three of them." " They're all crying." " Yeah." "Nice." "Nice, but you know, at that moment my conscience really got to me," "I really want to help them out somehow, they deserve a better life." "I want to help them financially somehow." "I'm not saying anything, I mean, they have a nice place and all, but it would be nice to fix things up, and..." "Aušrytè's almost 15, so she's going to get her license soon." "And then it'd be nice to give her some sort of car, and, well, somehow, you know..." "Well you can understand my situation." "That would be nice on your part." "Well, to help..." "Family." "So that's my situation right now..." "I'm, like, and then there's Laimutè, life here, relationships, and there, well, you know... blood..." "But you do know, dad, that you can't go running back and forth." " You can't be everywhere at once." " Exactly." "I'd say, maybe you should run away?" "Run, run." "Meaning?" "Get out of here." "If you need, I'll help you with money." "Wait, wait, wait." "You don't have money, do you?" "What do you want in return?" "Laima." "Half." "Half of Laima?" "The amount." "For Villija?" "For you." "For Villija?" "Half." "Wait, that's ridiculous." "What are you suggesting here?" "What, you want me to sell you my wife?" "No." "What are you..." "In general, what are you talking about?" "Save the child." "What child?" "What do you want, for me to sell a person?" "Get the child out of poverty." "What poverty, what are you talking about?" "He's offering me half of the amount." "Are you nuts?" "Mr. PE, I'm kidding here." "You know, you spent way too long in that prison of yours." "What's gotten into you, I was just kidding." "Really, he was kidding." "I don't have that money and I'm not suggesting we buy or sell anything." "You know who you were living with there, but I have no idea what kind of trouble you can stir up here." "Deal again." "But give it some thought anyway." "Hi." " Hi." "Hi." "Can I come in?" "Sure." "Ramutis, it's burning." "Shit." "I'm sorry for not being dressed like this, but I really like warming up my pants when it's cold out." "How are you?" "Fine." "How about you?" "Someone asked me to tell you hello." "Who did?" "Who did, Aušrelè did." "Thanks, tell her I say hi too." "She asked when you're coming over." "Oh, well tomorrow I have period 6 free, so I could come over around 1:30, if that's OK with you." "You were right." "About what?" "About Aušrelè." "About school." "She made up her mind, she's agreed to go to your school." "Oh, that's fantastic." "Starting in September'?" "Oh, that's really, really great..." "I think so too." "And she might even be in my class." "What kind of grades does she get in PE?" "Maybe a B or a C, I don't know." "If it's a C, she'll definitely get Jermalavičius..." "How fast can she run 100 meters?" "I don't know how fast she can run 100 meters." "How can you not know how fast she runs 100 meters." "How am I supposed to know?" "Do you know how fast you can run 100 meters?" "Of course. 13:06 if I'm wearing racing flats." "Look." "Double crease." "Oh, somehow I can never get that right..." "Should we give it a try?" "Nobody's ever ironed my pants for me in my life..." "Where's Ramutis?" "He's having lunch with his daughter." "Is this hard for you?" "No, I can grate it myself." "That's not what I mean, Laimutè." "I'm talking about the situation." "About me, about Ramutis, about Villija and their daughter." "I understand how hard it is for you, but you're a strong woman, Laimutè," "I've always wanted to tell you that." "I understand how much you suffered when you lost me." "And how much you're suffering now." "This is just torture." "Sit down, please." "Sit down." "Sit down for a minute." "Laimutè, if you can stop grating, then do." "You know, Ramutis and I, now we're..." "A couple?" "Come on, Laimutè, this isn't the time for joking around..." "You know, I was thinking... put that knife down." "I was thinking about how to help Ramutis, because Ramutis is afraid of hurting you." "He thinks that you might not be able to handle all this, that you're going to suffer, that you wont be able to deal with it, but I know you will, so that's why I'm begging you." "Join me and help Ramutis." "Tell him that... well..." "Kick Ramutis out." "Just say - hey, Ramutis, get out of here." "I know that'll be hard for you." "But don't listen to what Ramutis says, even if he argues, just tell him" " Ramutis, get out of here." "Go." "And just kick him out." "That'll make it easier for me and you, and most of all - for Ramutis." "Laimutè, do you want to talk about this?" "If you want to talk, I'm listening." "Tell me, what's going through your head?" "Idiot, you idiot..." "What are you pretending to be here?" "Huh?" "Hand me the onions." "Onions, OK?" "You want them cubed, as usual?" "Yeah." "Oh man, I was really afraid of the first time wed meet." "I spent 3 years thinking what he'd be like." "You know, I was like -who are you, what are you like, what are we going to talk about, will we be able to find common ground... but when I opened the door and saw you, and when you offered me my slippers," "I knew immediately that I'm going to have a really good friend." "Well, to tell you the truth, we also had a real scare when they let you go." "After all, you know, 3 years in prison, you just don't know what a person can do..." "And Laimutè says to me - run, run and don't look back, because you can't tell what he might do, and really, you know, at one point I thought I better just take off." "But then when I opened the door and saw you, and... and I really felt this sense of warmth and friendliness... and I realized that we could be buddies." "That was the greatest part, that you didn't look at me like a thief." "Like a prisoner." "You just looked at me like a person and you took me into my family like it was your own family." "You really did that..." "I don't know how you do it, maybe it's just dignity, or the noble mind of a principal." "But thank you for that, really." "Well, to tell you the truth, I can say that I don't care if you stole that money or not, if you have that money or not, I really do see you as a person, a friend," "and believe me, you know, when I became the principal, all kinds of people befriended me, and it's really hard to tell who's a real friend and who's not, but that's not what you're after... and you know, when you're in power, it's really hard to distinguish..." "You know, if your enemies, or your non-friends, ever try to tell that you that you're a bad person, don't believe them." "No, I won't, I won't." "I really envy your daughter, that she's going to have a father like you." "Just like I envy all of the kids who are in your class." "Yeah..." "I can just see how they're going to grow up to be really honest, good, fair and respectable people." "I can even hear them saying "Thank you so much, Ramuti"." "And I want to get in on those thanks with this, well, modest little gift." "When I was in prison, I carved this fish/accordion." "The fish symbolizes luck, and the accordion - well, is just an accordion." "This is for you." "Thank you." "But I have a present for you too." "Hold on then." "This is a trophy that I won in 2009 at the Phys." "Ed." "Teachers' Convention." "A respectable third place for physical education." "Now this trophy is yours." "Take care of it, don't lose it, and... you deserve it..." "Well thank you." "And don't be mad that I looked you over that time, OK?" "Wait, what did you say?" "What?" "What did you say?" "Well that I took a peek at you that time." "But you said you didn't." "No, it was before that I said I didn't look you over." "You swore that you didn't look me over." "No, well you know, I thought maybe Laimutè might hear, well you know," "I didn't really want to say anything in front of Laimutè..." "So you lied?" "Come on, I didn't lie, I just didn't want the situation to be like this..." "What are you fudging about here?" "I'm not fudging..." "What, you want to say that mine is small?" "Ramutis, I didn't say anything about yours being small..." "Thin?" "No, not thin, Ramutis, not small, not thin." "What's wrong?" "Do you understand that this isn't fair, because I didn't see yours?" "Why are you screwing around with me here?" "I'm not screwing around." "I haven't seen yours, so fine, let's measure." "OK, let's." " Let's measure." " OK, let's measure." " What, we're gonna measure here?" " Are you scared?" " No, let's measure, we'll measure over here." " You're scared." "Get the ruler." "I'll need a measuring tape, not a ruler." "Then get the measuring tape." "Do you have one?" "OK, and what are you doing with your hands in your pockets there?" " Stimulating yourself?" " I'm not stimulating." " Then take your hands out of your pockets." " Fine, then you take them out too." "Fine." " 3." "On the count of 3." " OK." " 1, 2, 3." "Let's go to the bathroom." " Let's go." "Take the measuring tape." "Take the measuring tape." "I got it, I got it." "Take it." "Hands!" "Turn on some music." "Let's go!" "Hands, hands, hands." "You didn't run away?" "No, I didn't run away." "You're going to ruin your mood." "Oh, I'll ruin it... it's gonna be a sad day when you see mine." "Get on with it." "Don't run away." "I won't." "Don't stab yourself." "But even at the store that stomach of yours was grumbling the whole time, what's wrong with you, haven't you eaten, or is there something else?" "Oh, look..." "You know what I hate most at the store, when you..." "Look." "Isn't that nice?" "Yeah." "Well nice, good job." "I'm telling you, when they want to, they can." "Look, even the carpet is vacuumed." "When you go to the store and the shop assistant asks you if you're looking for something in particular, at a shoe store." "What could I be looking for there?" "How nice..." "I'll send a picture..." "I don't have... now how am I supposed to go now, all undressed..." "OK fine, I'll get it, but you better not do anything, we..." "Ramutis?" "Taraila?" ""Mr. PE, money doesn't buy happiness""
