"Carl Pancram: murderer of 23 persons" "Belgrade at 80`s." "City with almost 2 million residents, with few hundred thousand cars, about a dozen of museums, two radio stations, one TV broadcast system and one big football club." "The capital." "It`s residents for years,wish so much,that the city,their own,becomes a metropolis." "At the time when story begins, are big chances that Belgrade becomes one of those." "Maybe you wonder, what one city makes a true metropolis?" "Are those traffic jams?" "Or monster new blocks?" "Or is it constructing of ultramodern subway system?" "(constructing halted)" "Some people think that metropolis is determined by it`s number of residents." "Belgrade is already for ages a city of millions." "Others, thus, point the physical placement of the city." "Belgrade for centuries represents the bridge between eastern and western civilization." "Notwithstanding, one metropolis is best determined by it`s chronicals of crimes." "Not worthy wide boulevards, Not worthy traffic jams and subways, if at one city there are no maniacs,the city is simply not a metropolis." "This a story about extraordinary happenings,which put" "Belgrade head to head with New York,London,and Paris" "All it began benign and seemed funny." "Get him!" "On Belgrade cemetaries began to appear exhibitionists, which cross paths the mourning ladies." "On Kalemegdan started to breed authentic Belgrade sort of voyers." "Citizens called them Rashomons according to famous movie of Akiro Kurosawa, in which one of the actors is peeping from the bushes." "Run Zika!" "Again Rashomons." "There were much more serious examples." "Some Polak stolen money from the box office of the National theater and ran away with 65 millions, although in old currency." "That induced the chain of similar, but more or less unsuccessful attempts." "This a robbery." "To the two thieves even firefighters helped to run away." "And then appeared the Belgrade Phantom." "But he is not a hero of our story,although he was taking the breath away of Belgraders with his crazy driving in a stolen white Porsche in which night by night was making crazy the impotent police." "Liftman was one push forward in developement of Belgrade on it`s way to be a metropolis." " Unzip my pants." "It is estimated that he harassed about 300 Belgrade women,intercepting them exclusively in elevators." "There is also tragicomic Pavle Siljak, who, by his handmade pistol, was shooting at women pass-bys which were dressed in fur." "There are numerous rapes,murders of revenge, jealousy and similar banal motives, as well as many larger and smaller heists." "But all of that would not be good enough, to make Belgrade a metropolis." "For that was needed to be a king of all criminals," "The STRANGLER." "You don`t like the carnations." "Now you`ve got it." "One likes no carnations, not deserves to live." "His name was Pera Mitic.He was 48, 120 kilos and his height was 190 centimeters." "He never married." "That was his third victim." "Come in." "Where are the carnations?" "You must have been scattered them somewhere." "I`ve sold them all." "Where is the money?" "Here it is." "There were 120 carnations." "Again you have been to confectionery." "You are never satisfied , mommy." "Have u ever sold 120 carnations in one day?" "Whaat?" "You raising your voice to the one who gave you birth?" "This is your gratitude, for taking you to the sea?" "Give me the cane." "No, mamma, please." "Cane, or to lock you in the tank." "Nooo, pls no tank." "How you will respect your close ones, when you do not respect your own mother?" "Kneel on seeds,you naughty one!" "Alright mom, just dont yell." "That is giving me headaches." "Sure it hurts, `cause you were laying with the Sun upon you up to the 15 hours during the last summer!" "Moms scolds because of late returnings home were getting Pera back to normal condition but was bothering him all over again, because he never could recall what was happening before." "How has Pera started to STRANGLE (flashback)" "His first victim, Pera strangled just few nights before." "That breaking night he was selling carnations on Belgrade taverns." "But in time of our story, carnations became obsolete." "Girls sometimes not allowed boys to buy them flowers, so therefore Pera was bringing home less money and had to sustain horrifying moms reprimands." "Give me five flowers." "I`m most thankful, precious madam." "Thank you very much." "Here you are, wonderful red carnations, 50 dinars each." "Do you have roses?" "Carnations stink to me." "We dont have." "Here you are, wonderful red carnations." "Sir, here you are, for the lady." "You want one?" "Stop kidding with me." "Please take." "They are so fresh." "They have been taken today." "Look, how they are red." "Like blood." "Never mention flowers and blood together." "Give me five." "I don`t want.I hate flowers." "Men think they can settle everything with it." "Flowers enriches the life." "I don`t need money." "It`s my present." "Leave me alone." "I told you,that I dont want flowers, especially carnations!" "Some girls were so extreme, that carnations not wanted to take even for free from Pera." "Those girls he decided to punish." "And you call yourselves the "flower people"." "He still not knew,how will do that, but he felt so big urge, to persuade those girls, that carnations are wonderful flowers," "which all must love." "You want I sleep over at yours?" "I`m not in the mood tonight." "Ciao!" "Bad karma." "Lady, please sit." "Just you sit oldie." "Pera`s big problem was extreme exhaustion." "Hey, fatty!" "Hey!" "The last stop!" "Excuse me." "Because of so much walking from one tavern to another,he barely could stand." "What`s the matter with you?" "Why are you upset `cause one stupid florist?" "Go down, show him that you are not afraid." "Again you dropped out the carnations." "Noo." "Here you are!" "Noo." "For every single carnation!" "Noo." "What do you want?" "Ah,no." "Why are you following me?" "Noo, noo." "Go away, or I will call the police!" "Noo." "And that`s how, thanks to the one brave and the arogant girl," "Pera Mitic became a criminal." "His next victim, Pera strangled already next night." "Before that, he first went to his favorite confectionery to eat cream-pie ." "Good evening, miss Dobrila." "Good evening ,uncle Pera." "You should change water more often." "Look how are they faded." "Carnations are very sensitive flowers." "And why are you so fancy dressed tonight, like you are going to a ball?" "To opera." "I`ve never been to opera." "You won`t sell all those flowers there, right?" "People who like opera, are buying flowers." "Thats why I love opera." "Tomorrow at 5.20 AM,is waiting white Mercedes in front of a hotel." "Wake up service is ordered at 4.20." "Ticket is in the passport." "At the airport will be two men to take care of your luggage." "I`ve said hundred times I dont want carnations in my dressing room!" "I hate their smell!" "What do YOU want?" "AGAIN carnations!" "OUT!" "How Pera started to strangle (end of flashback)" "One murder can be act of some amateur." "With the second murder, Pera Mitic gave the possibility to Belgrade to finally gets a real strangler and to become a metropolis." "Off to bed, you punk!" "You`ve been driftin` all night long, instead you should learn all gospel by heart." "You more like to exterminate cream-pies!" "Let`s back to the third murder." "Because just on that moment made people to start questioning:" "Is it true that appeared authentic Belgrade strangler?" "Those are all rumours, no need to start panic." "Don`t disturb the public." "Honourable spectators, any panic is unreasonable." "There are no any indications that is a case of some sort of a strangler." "Isn`t it strange to you, that only in last few days, has been murdered few persons, all three women?" "Let the police do it`s work on peace." "Wait..." "Turn the camera off." "Jovanovic!" "Confiscate the cam!" "Off you go!" "The sight of the strangled girl disturbed the residents of the capital, and especially lonely young man Spiridon Kopicl, talented, but not still a distinguished rock musician." "Shpira, what is it?" " He choked." "Throw out, Shpeery." "Not like that.This way." "Dobrica!" " Son!" "Sonny?" "Huh, seems I squeezed too much." "Quick,forced respiration." "Mouth to mouth." "Spiridon was extremely shy young man." "Maybe to that contributed his unusual family situation." "After death of Spiridon`s mother Marija Kopicl, his father, well known psychiatrist and court expert, married a beautiful nurse Natalija." "Because of all that young Spiridon hated all pretty women." "He is alive!" "Shpeery is a alive!" "Shpira!" "What is it?" "Are you crazy?" "Shpira!" "Kid is in a state of shock." "Strangler." "He ordered me." "Dad, I am spiritually connected with the strangler.Is it possible ?" "If you love, Carmen, like I do love you, encourage me in fight, i will be, the pride of yours." "Your love, gives the strenght." "You well know, Escamillo," "How much i love you." "I could never imagine, how much my heart is aching." "Mom,it bursts, not into the eyes." "Late Pospisilovic so nice was singing that aria." "Hum mom,dad was also singing along with you when was alive?" "Sure." "Every Friday we were putting you in a bath and we sang together." "I loove you, love you sooo much." "Mom, why kids teased me, that you don`t know who is my father?" "Jesus, which dog said that?" "Jovica, Ljilja, Mirko, Zorica." "Shush, unfortunate son!" "I would strangle them with my own hands, just when I get them." "Enough rampage!" "Little bit relaxed." "You always want to be rebellious." "You think, you are really smart, don`t you?" "Yeah, yeah." "Enough quarrel." "Lets play." "We won`t play, until we dont know, what we are playing." "We have perfect mediabusting project, and you behaving like a savage." "Multimedial, ha?" "I always loved you four-eyed pricks." "Fuck it." "You need to make more words and to get into the state of mind of a strangler." "Really it was, thinking of the new words, Spiridon was roaming thru the city imagining strangling women." "This girl is prettiest, this girl, of which I`m thinking of now." "This girl is the only one, which I love." "Once you meet girl like that, don`t miss a chance." "Touch her on a shoulder and say to her now:" "Baybe, baybe, close your eyes now," "Baybe, baybe, close eyes of yours , here comes the kiss." "Whole life he was searching for her, whole life he was waiting for her, now he squeezing his arms around her neck and whispers:" "Baybe, baybe, close your eyes now," "Baybe, baybe, close eyes of yours, here comes the kiss." "Please, let me listen the song to the end, pleease." "Since when you like rock, uncle Pera?" "You are for ages an opera fan." "A man is learning as long he lives." "Me too." "Her body is now still, her lips won`t say anything else, he is holding her in his arms, she is all his." "Where have you found THAT song to learn rock?" "For me that is sick." "All together." "Well, you see, to me those young people are very interesting." "Oh please, they`re singin` about some maniac, who strangles women, like he is some idol, hero, whatever" "Don`t be like that, miss Dobrila." "What do we know, what kind of man is he?" "You see, I`ve been thinking." "Why would someone like him, kill all those poor girls?" "There must be some reason." "What reason?" "He is simply a fruitcake." "Why you are so pushy, madman, madman?" "Like we are all normal." "FEW HOURS LATER AT THE OTHER END OF A CITY" "I saw him!" "It is a strangler!" "Police!" "Police!" "Strangler!" "Sir, who will pay for my wasted time?" "I have a plenty of work at home, waiting for me." "I`m sitting here wasting my time, waiting for someone to speak to me." "Comrade Mojsilovic, I am inspector Ognjen Strahinjic(Brave)." "I hope, that you will be useful." "And I want to help." "Only, seems here no one cares, that I saw the strangler." "And, you saw him well ?" "Call me not Mica Mojsilovic, if I not saw him well." "Aand, you are quite sure you would recognize him?" "Phew, absolutely." "Our men put in custody 20 suspicious, which were near the site of the crime." "Your part is, to look them very well." "If you are absolutely sure, that is among them the man you saw,you will give me a secret sign by shaking you head." "And what if he sees me?" "That is out of the question." "The lamps will blind them, and I am with u." "And?" "Who`s gonna pay me that?" "Comrade Mojsilovic, it is ur obligation as a citizen." "Yeah right?" "And you get salary for that." "Dont fuck with me." "I`m not born yesterday." "Very well comrade, you gonna cooperate or what?" " There is no anything but money." "5 "horses"(50 dinars) right now, and we do business." "It is torn." "Is it now OK?" "Yeah." "Ride on, ban Strahinja(BRAVEY)" "Your fishchips, comrade inspector.." "Thank you." "Let in the first group!" "Heee,hee from where you dug out that hunchback?" "What person can he strangle?" "You dont know shit.Ouuu...." "If is all police like this, that one would strangle half of Belgrade, if I not noticed him." "Please, be discreete." "That is in your own interest." "Next." "Don`t fool me up for a smallchange." "That man is enormous." "Take away those misfortunes." "Let them go to sleep." "Are you quite sure that is not one of those ones?" "Come on man, are you out of your brain?" "They are not capable to strangle a fly." "Bring 5 big ones!" "Mr.policemen, I never split up with my basket of carnations." "How will madam recognize me without my basket?" "Shush!" "Shut up, you fool!" "Please." "Thank you." "What is it with you?" "Why you are shaking?" "Secret sign, bravey." "Secret sign?" "SEPARATE HIM!" "We finally got him." "What is it with you?" "I am only without a basket." "Not him." "This is Pera the florist.You must know him." "Not him." "There you are.Madam recognized me." "She loves carnations." "Then why you were shaking head comrade Mojsilovic?" "`cause that bold one up there." "He is murderer for sure." "He is horrible." "You recognize him?" "Sure." "Im` not blind." "HE IS THE MURDERER!" "HE IS THE STRANGLER!" "If need to,I will sign that." "Jovanovic." "Take from comrade 50.000 old dinars." "Markovic, go dress the uniform." "Noone that night was sad and lonely as inspector Strahinjic." "All his efforts, to find a missing link in a row of murders or to find the common motive, which could point to the possible murderer, remained unsuccessful." "Public pressure was stronger every day." "More often inspector saw underestimating grins of his young associates." "He knew the rumours, that came his time to retire." "That`s why this was his last chance, to restore his disputed reputation." "Hello, devoted listeners, again you are with us on our frequent waves." "With us is Spiridon Kopicl," " Kopeecl- singer of controversial "Symbols"." "Those days their`s "Belgrade strangler" made big fuss," "I would say more `cause bizzare lyrics than it`s music." "Let us ask Spiridon, what will happen on the next concert of "Symbols" in the "brewery"?" "Will girls feel safe in that girlhating horror atmopshere?" "And why concert was scheduled on Friday,and 13th ?" "Strangler will be for sure on concert, i assure you that." "Because it is his song, in some sort of a way ." "What do you have against the girls?" "And why is the strangler so interesting to you, that you dedicated him one song?" "Have you ever tried to strangle one?" "Heh, no." "I had no chance." "To be close to touch their neck." "They dont want to close their eyes." "Let us give you the oportunity." "Well, I am not afraid of men, try to touch my neck." "I will close my eyes too." "Dear listeners, now you will attend to the exclusive broadcast of one strangulation." "How do you feel?" "Do you want to strangle me?" "Yes.yes.YES!" "Where are you going?" "Who gave you the licence, you idiot!" "Give the headset, to I call the police!" "I AM the police!" "Phone call!" "Its not funny at all." "Yes?" "Rock-o-lada, we are listening." "Inspector Ognjen Strahinjic speaking." "What are you doing there in Rock-o-lada?" "What do you think is your duty, ha?" "On the show, which listens so many youths, you celebrate this meaningless song, which is supporting the crime." "You are the one bunch of maniacs which,will I..." "That was the was the most extraordinary experience in my whole life." "You are totally out of your mind." "Let the closing theme." "Wait, to explain to you." "Dont call me Ognjen Strahinjic, if I let you to hold on that concert!" "Concert?" "Why not?" "Hello,urgently gather the 20 female agents !" "Yes!" "Overwhelmed with a pile, seemed to him, hard-solving problems" "Spiridon was roaming thru the city." "Incident on the radio started up an avalanche of questions , which were demanding answers." "Obsessed with the strangler and impatiently waiting for a concert" "Spiridon was asking himself:" "Who am I?" "Where I am from ?" "To where I am going ?" "what is that which cant be explained is linking me with this man, who strangles the women?" "Sometimes is seemed to me that I`m only an instrument in the hands of some strange force." "Sometimes I think , that I am him." "I AM SPIRIDON KOPICL!" "I AM JUST AN ORDINARY GUY!" "I AM NORMAL!" "I am in love." "Girls, hard work is in front of us." "In this city maniacs are growing like grass after the rain." "My presumption is, that this concert will act on them like antifly glue." "Rodoljub, is that you?" "Comrade inspector we`ve not managed to found 20 women, so I put myself on the line of duty." "Not bad.Not bad at all." "Finally some use of your movie ideas." "But be careful." "Maniacs are crazy, but not stupid." "Don`t forget, its not enough to disguise as a woman, you must behave as one." "UNDERSTOOD!" "You understood nothing." "You must enter completely into the female character, take over the women psyche, all the time you must repeat:" "I am woman." "I am woman.I am woman.I am woman." "I am woman.I am woman.I am woman." "FRIDAY and the 13th" "Hey whats up ?" "What are you doing ?" "Why you are so stiff?" "Mingle, dance, sing." "Understood." "You are woman!" " I am woman." "Baybe,baybe do you wanna dance?" "Fuck off, phony." "I always dance alone." "Watch out, tall!" "Hey little one, be good." "Beat it, you faggot!" "Fresh red carnation for a girlie?" "I shit on your carnations !" "Spread on the streets and play lone girls." "Go!" "This evening all were so kind." "All were buying carnations, except you." "My last carnation to end like this." "This boy is not normal." "Sleep calm,dream of "Symbols" and Belgrade strangler." "YOUNG KOPICL MAYBE A KILLER?" "Over, Dove 12." "Over." "Are you on the spot?" "As combined, comrade inspector." "Mind your behaviour." "You never know if you have been watched." "Do not understimate any pass-byes." "Anyone can easily be the killer." "And be smart." "Understood." "Dove !" "Hey!" "Where are you going?" "Ah, eh, is there some party?" " Maybe u want some hardy." "Want some beer?" "Why not?" "Eh,I told you, that I dont like that." "..................." "COPS!" "Over, Golobica 12." "Is there something new?" "Nothing." "Just to jerks, almost raped me." "Excellent, just go on." "You are the only one so far which got attention of men, other doves dont have any news." "Keep repeating, I am woman." "Get it?" "I am woman.I am woman." "I am a MAN." "I......" "I am a man.." "Maamma!" "Dove 12, confirm." "Dove, speak out." "Rodoljub, what is it with you?" "Speak out!" "Dove 12, speak out!" "Dove 12, confirm!" "Quick, on position 12." "To all doves!" "Goshawk attacked dove 12." "All go to her nest." "What is it, What`s wrong tonight?" "Like all went mad." "Sure is strangler again in the action." "Pls Shpira, stop bother me with that story." "It`s totally inapropriate." "I admit, your music is good." "But your image is totally cretenic." "What image?" "What you think, that the thing on a radio was a joke?" "You and me were in paranormal contact with the strangler." "Hey, now you are really bothering me." "Go home, and then choke your dad with that puberty madness." " Look in the morning papers tomorrow, then you will see what is puberty madness." "Get him on the right, Milojka!" "Easy, George." "Easy." "Oggy brought you fish." "Here you are, fish for Georgy." "Eat well." "Maybe it is our last supper." "Death of Rodoljub Jovanovic was the hardest blow in the entire career of Ognjen Strahinjic." "Whole his investigation concept collapsed like a card building." "In his mind were echoing words of his closest associate:" "Comrade Strahinjic, isn`t it obvious to you, that is actually a mass murderer, a psychopat." "All evidence lead to that." "All victims are women." "All women were wearing pants." "Not on single one were traces of sexual intercourse." "All were strangled by fingers of a strong man without any means." "So what?" "If we catch that maniac, we can get into the history of world criminal chronicles." "Sense of guilt of Rodoljub`s death was tearing apart inspector Strahinjic." "It seemed to him , that life has no meaning anymore." "Dissapointed, shaken and desponded he decided to commit a suicide." "Good bye, George." "Maybe is somewhere out there, better and prettier world, in which we will meet again." "Tomcat George:" "Don`t do it Oggy." "The society needs you." "Who will avenge Rodoljub?" "Strangler must be stopped." "And that only you can do !" "You are right, George." "Thats what would Rodoljub say." "If I disapointed him, while he was alive, I won`t now, when he is dead." "My clever George." "From now on, begins the new life of Ognjen Strahinjic." "As usual Pera Mitic also this time has not been remembering the previous events:" "Friday and 13th for him like not existed at all." "Only, at the place where he woke up he knew that he again messed something up and expecting him mother`s scolds." "Oh my dear God!" "Sofkie, I told you hundred times not to go naked around." "I apologize dad." "Hello, hello?" "I only wanted to recommend you to watch my story about your concert on tonights Cultural mosaic." "Maybe it will help you to solve some of your problems." "And yes.-Hello?" "You dont need to buy todays newspapers, there is nothing about the strangler.Ciao." "Pump!" "Just a second, mommy, to I see this singer." "I so much like this song." "Pump, as I tell you!" "Little quiet, mommy, at least to hear my favorite song." "Better listen the song of God, you punk!" "Mommy,little more quiet, please!" "Mamma!" "Belgrade mods offered us their new style." "Even since Sex Pistols and late Sid Vicious evil became popular trend." "As always, with delay, our pseudoavantguard rockers are offering us, their version of other people ideas." "After nazipunk and serbian national caps arogant leader of "Symbols"" "Spiridon Kopicl offerin` super news: strangulation of women." "That, the one real maniac endangers living of Belgrade women, just entertains the "Symbols" giving spicy taste to their morbid image." "What Spiridon has against the women?" "Women are..." "Let we listen once more that fluent statement." "Unfortunately our audience fall to those bizarre ideas, with which Kopicl and people similar to him are hiding their own artistic impotence." ""Brewery" was crowded this time, everyone had great time, probably not thinking of implications." "The girls were buying red carnations like they attending March 8th(womens day), and not to their own burial service." "Anyway, let`s look, what the cameras recorded on this concert." "Oh, that is me." "That`s me!" "Mom, it`s me!" "Mommy, i remembered." "I was on the concert." "I have sold all the carnations." "Look, mamma!" "I am on the concert." "That is me!" "Mom, my head terriblly hurts." "Mommy, my head hurts, play something for me." "Play, mamma, please." "I have terrible headache.I will pump." "Sing, mamma,sing." "Sing something for me, mamma." "You have nice voice." "Pera, son, you are sick." "I am sick, my head hurts." "I am sick, soo haard." "Shpira, I brought to you milky rice." "For God sake Shpeery,until when you will play with that terrible doll?" "I`m sure that many girls would like to be instead of her there." "I`ve told you hundred times, that do not enter my room without knocking." "Aah, you will all see, who is Spiridon Kopicl." "I will show you, who is impotent." "Torn apart with contradictory feelings, provoked by Sofija`s report" "Spiridon is on a brink of despare." "He feels that need to do something, but he doesnt know what to do." "Like in some trance he decides, to directly get involved in the happenings." "He is taking scissors and starting to cut letters from the newspapers." "At the beginning it seemed like he wants to compose the anonymous love letter." "But letter, started to be as letter to host of Rock-o-lada, it turned to be a letter to the inspector Ognjen Strahinjic." ""Next one will strangle in Friday." "The strangler."" "Finally we have something concrete in our hands." "Killer became arogant, encouraged and according to that become negligent." "We have three days to prepare." "This time must not be mistakes." "I think, that this letter has nothing to do with our case." "This was sent buy some fool." "Mitrovic!" "You not yet overtaken this case." "You think that i dont know, that you working behind my back?" "But this action you wont undermine!" "Strangler was, last friday, attacked on friday." "There is no reason why he would not repeat that, according to his announcement." "That`s why you are all free till morning." "Sleep well and prepare for hard work, which is in front of us." "And what if, strangler with his letter just wanted to trick us?" "Mitrovic, dont fudge the sticks into my wheels, and let me on peace to make plan of the action." "If I dismissed you, that doesn`t mean I won`t stay awake." "And now, off you go!" "I have nothing to lean on." "That man is killing without any reason." "In this city hundreds of women are wearing pants." "How to I anticipate, who will be the next victim?" "We are listening extraordinary Johnny Stulic and his hit "Going into the night"."

"Rock-o-lada, we are at your sevice." "What do you have against my carnations?" " Pardon me?" "What are you talking about?" "You know what I`m talkin about." "You were recording me for TV." "You were critisizing my carnations." "That is not polite." "I dont like girls, who hate carnations." "I really dont like carnations, but please turn volume down on your radio, we have strong interference." "Those are not interference, that is me eating cream-pies." "You know, beside carnations, I so much like to eat cream-pies." "And I would like to listen my favorite composition," "Belgrade strangler." "Rock-o-lada fulfill wishes only to those listeners, which introduce themselves." "it is not nice of you, to critisize on TV." "I know, that you are doing `cause your career, but that was not clever from you." "Please, introduce yourself." "I..." "WONT." "Dear listeners," "I dont know what you think of, but seems to me, is the one of those childish jokes of Spiridon Kopicl." "But because he so much like his tune, we will fulfill now his request."

"Strangler would not lie to me!" "Strangler would not lie to me." "Strangler would not lie to me." "Just need to let him, to let out his agression." "All those murders, contradictory hypothesis,idee fix about some strangler caused in him internal tension." "He just need some exhaust, it`s so obvious." "How he will even behave when finds out that he is taken off the case?" "No way.No way.In this delicate moment he must not find that out." "Not at all." "His state of mind is on edge of normality." "When he gets out he will be quiet as ladybug." "I need panthers, not ladybugs." "Well he is certainly not capable to handle that case, is very important to him, to he thinks he still have the case." "That is crucial thing for his recovery." "For God sake Dobrica, how do I manage that?" "We are not theater group to play for him." "I dont know."
