"Park in the shade, if possible." "CAR PARK" "CAR PARK" " Hey!" " Hi!" "Probably a burst pipe." "They're drilling the pavement." "This stuff drives me crazy." " What's up, Edgar?" " Shhhh!" "That stupid Morse code again?" "Get lost!" "At least they're only killing each other." "Another one bites the dust." "You know I can't tell you." "There's long, short, and medium-length briefing." "So would you please stop asking when I get off work?" "The school psychologist wants to see us." "Not again!" "Close the door!" "Crumbs again?" "The car's not a restaurant!" "He insists you come too." "To deal with another idiot?" "I see enough at work:" "Poppin' pills, jumping off bridges, dressed up as nuns on Gay Pride Day." "You want your son to be like that?" " Tommy broke that boy's glasses." " He only fought back." "Listen, Tommy." "Don't let them fuck with you." "OK?" "You can choose any new backpack you want." "So the bullies can set fire to it again?" "I'll talk to the principal." "OK?" "Excuse me." "Just a word." "Your monthly fee's late." " Could you pay it sometime?" " The fee's late?" "10 days." "I told you once already." "Can it wait till the end of the week?" "I've parked here for 2 years." "I don't deserve the redWunderbaum." "End of the week is fine." "Dad, look..." "Wow!" "Hello." "I'd like to park." "You've come to the right place." "How long?" "I dunno." "Maybe a week or two." "Where can I park?" "Anyplace." "Find the spot that summons you." "Over there is perfect." "Not there." "You said anyplace that summoned me." " Except there." " But it's vacant." "Is it reserved?" "There's plenty of other space." "For God's sake!" "Look at this car." "It needs shelter.Pigeons, rain, falling objects..." "I understand." "Still, you can't park there." "Look!" "Original hubcaps!" "I see them." "Name your price and let's move on." "Jacking up the fee?" "Is that it?" "I'll pay two spots to get that one." "Deal?" "Are you staying or going then?" " I'll pay a month in advance." " 12,000." "Due on Friday." "Agiftfrom the company." "Company?" "Pay on time, follow rules, you get a green one." "If not, you get a red one and are banned." "What guarantees the car's safety?" "Me." " You guarantee its safety." " Yes." "You gave your word." "Go ahead." "I see no one has the covered spot." "This topic is not open to discussion." "So the place belongs to the lot owner?" "Then I'll talk to the boss." "I bet we can make a deal." "Give me his number." "Now." "Zero, six, twenty, ninety-one, sixteen, eleven, ninety-three." "He doesn't answer unlisted numbers." "Oddly enough, you have a call, Legionnaire." "You can't possibly know, but this car is everything to me." "It's like..." " ...you wouldn't understand." " I understand fine." "No." "If you did, you wouldn't refuse me." "Hey, Legionnaire, if you ask me, he'd pay you anything." "Just rip him off." "Bernie, that's exactly why I don't ask you." "Legionnaire!" "The ball!" "Toss it back!" "I don't like India." "It makes me uneasy." "Should I skip forward?" "Canada?" "Leave it." "I was about to go anyway." " See you tomorrow." " Good night." " Good morning." " Good morning." "This is from Mom." " Thanks." " You're welcome." "I'd like to show you something." "Okay." "But you have to get in the Mustang." "I want you to feel it from inside, the motion, the dynamics." "Why exactly?" "You said you'd take us." "If I could describe it, I wouldn't ask you to get in." "We'll be late." "Come on, Tomi." "C'mon!" "Shall we give them a ride?" "It's no problem." "I'll bet they'd be happy to get to school on time." "Pardon me..." "Can we give you a lift?" "Mom, can I sit up front?" "!" "Please!" "Howfast can it go?" "When I was your age, the Mustang was No.1 in the car card game." "Legionnaire, what was your favorite car card?" "I don't remember." " Oh, come on!" "Everyone remembers!" "All little boys love cars." "My father always said:" ""Iwaited just 9 months for you, but 5 years for my Skoda."" "I had to wash it everyweek." "Even in winter." "So I never liked cars much." "We have that in common." "We had a Skoda too." "But I knew I'd buy this car someday." "Thanks!" "That was super!" "Thanks for the ride." "Ignore them." "Sit up front, Legionnaire." "I'll take you back." "Good-bye!" "The USSR once had a Ministry of Lost Trains." "Naturally, it doesn't exist today." "Nobody cares about losses." "In shipping, 3 out of 10,000 orders are lost." "Insurance pays." "But I say, no thanks." "I've owned this company for 16 years... and I've never lost a shipment." "I wish I'd lose one, just to solve the puzzle:" "Who screwed up, where..." "The thing is..." "There's a Point Aand a Point B." "Ais the problem, B is the solution." "The two can always be connected." "No matter what people say." "I love logistics." "Every day you can overcome the impossible, and you must overcome the impossible." "Did you show me everything?" "Hardly anyone's ever sat there, you know." "You'll never park under the roof." "The Mustang has always had that spot." "You're just in denial." "School's out so soon?" "You want one?" "How did it happen?" "Spontaneous combustion, eh?" "I was always terrified of that as a kid." "I still am." "Whoosh!" "And suddenly... who knows why... you go up in flames." "Are we at war?" "The cat is attacking the nest." "Did we win?" "Maybe." "We'll see." " Hey, guys!" " Hi, Legionnarie!" "Pass the ball!" "Hi!" "Hey, Hakan." "Can I go?" " Salam!" "Legionnaire, go, sure." " Thanks." "Good day!" "Does your boss have a real name?" "He's not my boss." "He's my friend." "Was he really in the Foreign Legion?" "I suppose so." "When he came here this was an empty lot full of weeds." "What did he do before the Legion?" "He doesn't like talking about that." "Must be cold here in winter though." "He likes it." "He never goes home to his apartment." "So... have you ever been to Iceland?" "More than once." "I thought so." "Did you see the geysers?" "Strokkur is amazing during salmon-spawning season." "Deep in the cave... a pool of blood." "Milk, sugar?" "Some milk, two lumps of sugar." "This is private property." "I was just getting his coffee." "I'll be on my way." "Thank you." "Was it that bad?" "The coffee was fantastic." "Let's talk sometime." "What did you say to him?" "We just talked about Iceland." "He's been there." "I spoke to Esther's lawyer." "Relax, it'll be fine." " I'm relaxed." " Good." "She wants twenty-million per year in alimony, the flat by the Danube, and the villa in Austria..." "It's nonsense." "She's allergic to the pollen in Austria." "I agreed to the flat though." "The alimony's acceptable, with some reduction." "Plus I offered her the jeep." "What do you think?" "You're using this workplace as a residence." " Who reported it?" " Acivilian." "Well?" "Why is Consumer Protection involved?" "Unlawful operations require official action." "May I see your operating license?" " What's this?" " It's to stir the coffee." "Then I'll need your food service license." "The papers are under the sink." "You know the place well." " Do you work here?" " He's just a friend." "It's not work for me." "I'd come even if Legionnaire didn't pay me." "Then we'll need your employee's data and contract." "Tell my wife she's not getting anything." "Imre, that's a very bad decision." "Did you do your army service?" "Well, I had two choices." "Adoctor could say I had scoliosis, or I could say I was gay." "I chose scoliosis." "How did you get out of it?" "I didn't." "I don't like evading things." "Don't worry!" "They seemed nice..." " Inspectors?" " They were from Consumer Protection." "How awful." "Actually, by sheer chance, I know their supervisor." "If they close down a warehouse or a meat packing plant, they call me to haul off the seized goods." "I could fix this with one phone call." "Really?" "You're joking." " If I was joking, we'd both be laughing." " Legionnaire, don't..." " Who do you think got us in this mess?" " You want me out?" " Exactly." " You can't make me leave." " Why not?" "My client paid a month in advance." "According to the civil code of law, a breach of contract results in recompense, unless you rescind your intent." "Where's my car?" "What car?" "Don't play games!" "Where is it?" "Nothing's ever gone missing yet." " Except for that Ferrari once." " Except the Ferrari." "For the last time." "Where's the Mustang?" "Oh, the Mustang!" "I'll show you." "This is a swamp!" "Usually it's much worse." "There are better car parks." "You may choose to leave us anytime." "You said the car would be safe." "So what's that?" "You guaranteed its safety." "Well, Legionnaire?" "There's no harm done." "Adead animal is no harm?" "It didn't leave any mark." "I'll forget it if you wash the car." "No, no." "The whole car." "Like the Skoda you washed as a kid." "You failed to protect my car." " I'llwash it." " No, Edgar, it's not our job." "It's his choice." "He knows I'm right." "You're not right." "I explained clearly on the first day." "Outside, you do what you want, but not here." "I can't stand people like you." "Coming here, thinking you can boss us around." "You don't get special treatment." "This is my parking lot." "Here, you're just like everyone else." "It seems we're on equal terms now." " You've grasped the point." " Absolutely." "Are you serious?" "Your nose is bleeding." "Because you bury them here?" "Dead birds are worth... more than me?" "If that's how you want to see it." "You really don't understand things." "I don't have to." "This is a parking lot." "Why expect anything more?" "I'll bet that space will be mine within a week." "I'll bet that space will be mine within a week." "That's just what I mean." "The world doesn't stop at your gate." "Why would things be different here?" "I'll prove that they're not." "I'll bet you4 bottles of beer, that space will be mine within a week." "I'm here." "Everything's cool." "Got it?" "Yup." "Legionnaire..." "You cannot make bath." "No problem." "When should I come back?" "Legionnaire, the thing is..." "You can't make bath no more here." "Why not?" "New owner, say no one use shower." "I sorry." "What does the new owner look like?" "Medium old." "Budapest pasha in a suit." "Very strange what he does, he ask for coffee and..." "Takes a sip, but spits it out, right?" "Yes." "How you know?" "Hello." "Pardon me." "There's been an accident." " What accident?" " Awindow broke." "It did break, no?" "Oh, right, yes." "That window is important to me." "Our window?" "May I?" "Take this, please." " I'lljust have it fixed." " What?" "When I have coffee in the morning, the sun reflects off this window." "Coffee tastes different without the sun." "But since it's broken..." "Really?" "This exact window?" "But only for 3 and a half minutes, so timing is important." "Excuse me." " What happened?" " This young man played with fire..." "Which spread to the gym equipment storage..." "My God, Tommy!" "They said I was too cowardly for revenge." "Tommy!" "You set that bully's backpack on fire?" "Yes." "What's your problem?" "!" "Hold on!" "What happened?" "When I parked, everything was fine, and now I've got a flat tire." "I can't believe this!" "There's a repair shop nearby." "Sure there is!" "You're gonna get this tire fixed." "But what about the kid?" "Goddamn it..." "I need to be at the police station immediately." "I'll pickTommy up in 2 hours." "That's the minimum I deserve..." "We'll pick Mom up later, okay?" "Get that tire fixed right now!" "Screaming... jack-o'-lantern... chocolate milky... way." "That's their message." " Whose message?" " I have no idea." "But I'll find out someday." "Get lost!" "I always mess things up." "It's okay to make mistakes." "Long, long and the "I" is short." "Now repeat." "Long..." "Lissen man, ..." "long, long... where were we?" "They think they can screw me over!" "You think you can too?" "Huh?" "'Cuz you're a big shot?" " Tommy's waiting." " I know." "Shut your face." "HiTommy!" "This is for him." "You got some change?" " How'bout you sit and rest?" " So what if they fired me!" "Nobody's a saint!" "Everybody takes bribes!" "How else can you make a living off that crummy salary?" "Support a family on those wages?" "Gimme some change already." "Tommy!" "I brought you..." "You need..." "I got it!" "Hold on!" "Tommy!" "Ya know what the law is?" "Be sharp as a knife!" "Ya promise to be a sharp blade?" "Promise?" "Yes." "You okTommy?" "Everything OK?" "Sure." "We're grating cheese, as usual." "Looks good." "What happened?" "He's down there... resting a bit." "Thanks..." " ...for the window too." " No problem." "What did they say at school?" "We'll find you another school." "Atrial would mean unpleasant questions." "The judge will ask when you were last together." "Sexually, I mean..." "Because of your..." "health issues..." " You really want to know?" " Not me." "But the court..." "Three years..." "I see..." "That's a long time." "It's why I suggest a settlement." "May Ijoin you?" "Nice landscape..." "Have you been there?" "They're not my pictures." "Someone forgot them here." "They're not my pictures." "Someone forgot them here." "It might have been an engineer's..." "Lots of things get left here." "Nobody comes back for them." "That too?" "It was left by a Finnish metal band." "They parked their van here." "I thought so." "The northern sound is in the strings." "The northern sound is in the strings." "Really?" "I was kidding." "Legionnaire..." "Do you have a real name?" "I used to." "This is fine for now." "This is fine for now." "You can't lose your name in the desert." "Once, theTuareg cut us off from the company." "We waited 3 days for the helicopter." "I was on guard duty." "I hadn't slept in days." "Things got blurry, like a fever dream." "Suddenly, a crow appeared." "He stared at me from a rock." "He stared at me from a rock." "Acrow?" "I said, shoo, before a bullet hits you." "But he said he was staying because that rock was his." "It was a gift he'd received." "So he had to protect it." "Maybe." "What happened then?" "The helicopter came and evacuated us." "It's not like that." "I'm not working for free." "He's paying me." "He's paying me." "Everyone wants to go to Iceland!" "But not everyone knows they do." "My time is limited." "Thank you for coming." "If we can't divorce nicely, we'll divorce ugly." "Is that your final word?" "You won't get a thing." " Haven't we been over this?" " It's not over!" "For 3 years, no word or gesture from you suggested we were husband and wife." "Suggested we were husband and wife." "How did you get like this?" "Good God!" "When did you get like this?" "No one's ever treated me so inhumanely." "You're never blackmailing me again." "You're never blackmailing me again." "Not with your life, or your death." "That's how easy things go..." "This time, they go against you." "Get out, okay?" "Leave now." "Happy birthday, Legionnaire." "It seems you've got a birthday too." "Thank you." "Happy birthday." "All I want is to see Strokkur." "Icelandic salmon?" "That's what the flea market merchant said." " Happy birthday!" " Happy birthday!" "Thank you." "Thank you." "Astone?" "More like a boulder!" "This is big day." "This is big day." "But how did you know?" "I call pretty lady to come eat, to celebrate." "I call old fisherman." "Bernie come by himself." "Hakan cook for all." "Come set the table!" "Sit down, Legionnaire." "Fish lies in salad bed." "It very good." "For Ildiko." "Kitchen poetry." "Kitchen poetry." "Like 1001 Arabian Nights." "You know?" "ForTommy." "Bachlava helvasi." "Wow!" "Big favorite forTurkish kids." "Akebab for Bernie..." "Akebab for Bernie..." " This is all I get?" " Be happy you get food." "And for Legionnaire..." "birthday... roast pigeon." " You like?" " Goddamn!" " What the hell, Hakan?" "!" " Fuck, what is problem?" " What the hell, Hakan?" "!" " Fuck, what is problem?" "New boss bring bird, to surprise you." "The boss, eh?" "Happy birthday." "Happy birthday." "Get your car out." "May I remind you that my client has a valid contract." "You can't just waltz in here!" "You can't just waltz in here!" "Tibor, could you give us a moment?" "Are you sure?" "My kidneys stopped working" "I need dialysis every 2 days." "I'm hooked up to a machine and they wash my blood of waste." "Excrement is what they call it." "I can drink two-hundred milliliters per day." "You know what that equals?" "Thirst." "You must know it from the desert." "This isn't my business." "I'm making it your business." "The endless thirst is always present." "The doctors say I can live like this." "But I already feel dead." "You are very much alive..." "One beer would make me sick." "I'd pass out from two." "Three... would explode my kidneys." "In about 15 minutes." "But you can adapt to any suffering." "You can triumph over even this." "Don't you see?" "Only you have something to lose." "I want you out in 24 hours." "That's plenty of time." "Legionnaire, the billboard..." "What about it?" "Hey, don't be scared." "Dad's not mad at you..." "We can learn something here." "Remember, this is war." "Never trust anyone." "Understand?" "What were you thinking?" "The parking attendant?" "In a dirty trailer?" "I work day and night for a normal life, a normal family, an apartment, a car." "Not for me, for you two." "And what happens?" "I get fired." "And then you pull the noose tighter?" "What were you thinking?" "How will you explain to the kid?" "Where am I in all this?" " Where am I in all this?" " Let him go!" "Let him go!" "I'm sorry..." "It's my fault." "He was asking about you... about the past." "If I'd have known, I never would have said anything." "Have you bought your plane ticket?" "I'm leaving nextTuesday." "Then go." "Don't miss your flight." "Your nose..." "You can leave too." "What's this picture?" "It's old." "Very old." "And it shouldn't be there." "Come." "Sit down!" "Wait here." "If a pregnant woman is in an accident she paramedics help her before her fetus." "Only after the mother is dead, do they take the child out of her belly." "Neither of them had a chance..." "And the driver only got a suspended sentence." "I enjoyed watching your fake world crumble." "You deceived yourself, my friend." "It doesn't exist." "I thought it did, and looked everywhere for it." "3 months in a Himalayan monastery." "You know how cold it was?" "I was a pilgrim on the Way of St. James." "I sailed east to west." "I found nothing." "Understand?" "It's nowhere." "And you want to prove it was under my window?" "Think what you want." "You win." " It's just a parking lot." " That's right." "You're giving me the spot under the roof." "Because there's no hope." "No harmony." "No perfect world." "Only Point Aand Point B." "Pure logistics." "All else is fantasy..." "Nooooooo!" "The car park is yours." "Park wherever you want." "Hello." "May I help you?" "I'd like to park my car." "This is the right place then." "How long?" "Aweek or two, maybe more." "You can decide later." "Where can I park?" "Anyplace." "Find the place that summons you." "Come in." "Don't mind the mess." "Come on!" "I'll clean up in no time." "Sleeping?" "Resting up?" "Everything's just dandy, eh?" "Legionnaire!" "What's that worth now?" "Mr. Invincible!" "Look at me, asshole!" "Y'all think I'm the punching bag?" "!" "Always me, goddamnit?" "!" "Look at me!" "Then drop dead as you are!" "Hello?" "Good evening!" "Are you Legionnaire?" "That's me." "Do you have a real name?" "Vince Molnar." "What happened?" "We were hoping you could tell us." "It's rather odd:" "An ex-cop shoots a corpse in a trailer." "Who knows how the law will deal with that." "We'll... take down your statement anyway." "Any message?" "If I understood correctly..." "Four shovels of apple smoke." "Four shovels of apple smoke?" "That's really something." "But what does it mean?" "You're the one who has to figure it out." "Thanks." "I have to tell you about last night." "Yes." " It won't be easy." " I know." "Let's just drink this for now." " Thanks for..." " We said we'd drink it first." "You're right." "I doubt I'm ever going back to the car park." "Hey, I thought we agreed to be quiet."
