(speech by Josip Broz Tito)
What drives a man to ***?
Vanja was a promising lad.
But crime doesn't sleep!
A deranged cold hearted housewife took his life.

-That's pure blind luck. -Yeah right!
-Sweet! -You litter and I get to clean...
You wanted me to pay for something?
700kn, please.
That could be tricky. What for?
-An installment for Iva's gift. -An installment!?
Is she your girlfriend or your creditor?
Chill dad, I know she loves me.
Isn't that for a special occasion?
Liquidity is essential my son!
Giving up? The glory days are over, it's Hail Mary time!
Wise ***. I'm starting to believe my mother...
that your mother made you without me! God bless their souls.
The young eagle saw a majestic bird flying over the hen house.
Confused he asks his mother hen what was that bird doing?
She said it was flying. He asked if he could fly?
She explained he couldn't. For that bird was an eagle and he's a mere chicken.
So the young eagle grew old and died as a chicken. Dreaming of flight.
Dreaming of eagles.
Yes, yes...
How is you relationship with your mother?
-What? -In the story you just told me...
the fault seems to lie with the mother eagle...
whose neglect caused him to fall out of the nest...
and the mother hen who raised him...
without realising his true potential!
Mother... Oedipus...
So my crappy career is my mother's fault?
Those are your words, not mine.
They surely ring as the truth in your consciousness.
Do you know how humiliating commercials are for a thespian?
I can only get voiceover work. At best I get to be the narrator. A faceless voice!
When was the last time you told your mother you loved her?
Love you... Hang up... You first...
No, you first... you fi...
MIRAN WAS A RELIABLE POLITICIAN.
HE HELPED OUR PARTY DEFEAT THEIR PARTY IN THE PARLIAMENT.
HE COMPLIENTLY VOTED AS OUR PARTY TOLD HIM TO.
HE SPENT MOST HIS TIME IN THE BAR, MOSTLY WITH THE BARMAID IVA.
WHO WAS HIS MISTRESS FOR QUITE SOME TIME!
-Hi babe, how's it hanging? -Okay.
HE GAVE HER GIFTS AND TICKETS TO FANCY EVENTS.
SHE GAVE EVERYTHING ELSE!
-He's bothering you? -Not today...
Jack makes him manageable.
We need to talk.
-Here? -Nobody can hear us.
What's up, Dock?
I've been thinking...
I realised I really love you.
Really. You know...
I'm leaving my wife...
I'll give her everything. Even the kids would be better off with her.
I'll still support them but I want to start a new life with you!
-Iva? -Sorry...
Sorry... Sorry! And your reputation... career?
WHAT REPUTATION, I'M JUST A BACKBENCHER.
Politics is showbiz! Scandals mean exposure, all press is good!
So we'd be official? Events, premieres...
Yes... We'll get an apartment... A dog...
You won't have to work in this dump, or at all...
-I mean you can if you want... -Miran... You're wonderful!
Gotta run!
Politicians do actually work!
Refill, girl!
Fill it yourself...
If the eyes fail follow your nose!
DRAGICA WAS THE MOST PROPER EMPLOYEE OF THE RELIABLE BANK.
16 YEARS ON THE JOB, 17 YEARS MARRIED.
TODAY WAS HER BIRHDAY.
AND AS ALWAYS, SHE SPENDS IT BEHIND HER COUNTER.
Next, please.
-Hello. -How may I help you?
-Did my pension arrive? -I just need your debit card.
-What for? -To check your pension.
I'll get it... Just a moment...
-Here's the card. -Thank you.
And the ID, please.
-Why? -To check your identity, sir.
But you see me every month!
I have to follow the rules.
Really? Darn rules... Here's my ID.
Thank you very much.
-Regretfully, there's no pension. -How, isn't today the 7th?
It's the 5th, sir.
I'm sure it's the 7th!
You'll have to come in two days, sir.
It's the 7th and I want my pension!
Sir
Your account is empty.
-What? -Please come in two days.
5th... In two days... You're rude!
So rude... You think you can mock us pensioners?
You'd be living in Germany now...
In Germany without us partisans!
I can't stand this man!
Next please!
I'll report you! I fought in the war!
Sod it gramps, I also fought in the war! Scram!
-I get no respect here! -*** off oldtimer!
-Damn this bloody bank! -He was holding up the line.
25 people and 18 penguins died in the turmoil.
Stop! Too long!
Sod the globe... Sod the southern hemisphere...
Just say 'Problems in Sweden', sod it...
Eskimo independency revolt in Sweden led to casualties.
25 people and 18 penguins died...
That sucked... Sod the penguins...
Just say 'Problems in Sweden', sod it!
Problems in Sweden, sod it.
Hi babe!
Listen... Something happened...
No I'm okay...
I've met someone...
It's not a joke...
I'm turning a new page...
-Babe! -I need some excitement...
-Let's meet... -Don't call, keep my CD's and so long.
Babe!
DR. ALAN FJORD - PSYCHIATRIST
I feel like I have wings in atrophy...
I keep on fallin'...
Falling is also flying... Mother... Oedipus!
Where's Fjord?
-Is this dr. Fjord's office? -Yes but what is the meaning of this?
Sod it!
What do you want?
-Are you Fjord? -Yes and...
Listen carefully... I decided to kill myself...
But... You are my only hope!
You've got 10 minutes!
Time circuits on, doc!
But what if I can't change your mind?
You wouldn't kill... me?
-Why would I kill you? -What's the gun for if you're not threatening my life?
I'm threatening my own life...
Isn't saving another's life sufficient motive for a shrink?
Relax... Let's start...
-We started a minute ago! -Please just relax...
Just lay back... Relax... Please!
We'll start... Get comfortable...
Who are you and why would you commit suicide?
Just a sec...
Here you go...
200, 300 and 700kn.
I would also like to withdraw 2500kn.
-There's only 1000kn left. -I'm going into the red.
Your credit limit changed...
I'm a loyal client, everybody knows me!
I have to follow the rules...
Who are you to deny me... I fought in the war!
I have PTSD! Where would you live without us...
-In Serbia! -Please, sir...
Don't you sir me... Get the manager...
I want the manager... Unbelievable!
Thieves don't rob banks, they found them...
Wankers... Where are you going?
To get the manager!
AND SO, AFTER 16 YEARS, DRAGICA LEFT THE RELIABLE BANK.
So... How old are you?
-23. -Why kill yourself so young...
just grazing the surface of life...
I ate it up and it spat me out!
How bad can it be?
Just dropped out of my third college, passed just two courses and am now professionally unemployed!
Two courses in three colleges?
Actually... Just 1.5!
-What does 1.5 mean? -None, okay... Happy now?
Wanna make fun of the guy with a gun?
No... But that's no reason for suicide.
No.
I got dumped after 4 months...
She literally lynched me.
Clearly... Clitemnestra...
-You really cared for her? -It's just we didn't...
Yes?
We didn't have sex.
-What! -Don't unnerve yourself...
I'm just wondering if your problem wasn't...
of the *** kind?
You think I'm ***, you ***?
I crave the *** like a pig does truffles...
But the *** made me wait... and wait...
I can barely hold the gun from all the wanking!
Listen, I'm not insinuating anything. God forbid.
I just think maybe your problem...
albeit *** in nature, may be caused...
by the fact that you were denied of the female...
Delights!
Well... I'm not that experienced...
How many partners did you have?
Well now... Who's counting...
-Four? -Five!
Actually 4.5...
-What does 4.5 mean? -4.5!
That .5 confuses me...
Are you referring to the...
Oral sex, maybe?
Okay... No one, nothing, never, zero...
You want me to say it?
I'm a pathetic ***! Zero.
Virginity is still no cause for suicide.
But if she didn't put out after four months...
of dating... ice cream, gifts and picnics...
There must be something wrong with me...
I'm ready to throw in the towel!
If that's enough to kill yourself...
what am I supposed to do?
'WHAT COULD I DO?' THOUGHT MIRAN...
AND FOR THE FIRST TIME DID SOMETHING RASH.
I call upon the esteemed representative of Our party...
to take the floor and be brief. For it's almost lunchtime!
Esteemed colleagues...
I want to share my discontent towards our system of governing...
I disagree with party politics without regard for humanity or common sense...
I'm appalled that an island village has no plumbing because their representative is from the wrong party...
And because of your stupidity, backwardness and blind loyalty...
thousands of children won't be educated, hundreds of thousands won't have clean water!
Why not pass a bill if it's humane and righteous...
Why have compliant instead of competent ministers?
The opposition became obsolete.
Democracy became a tyranny of the majority!
Imagine that life... Imagine the love... Imagine all the people!
How we would live, and how we would love...
And how it would be great...
If I was Someone!
Amateur hour is over, time for a break...
Take this Jesus back to Rio!
He can cry them a river.
LUNCH!
Hey... Home so soon?
-Got off early. -That's new...
Today's politicians... like kids fighting for attention.
Dragica!
-Babe? -Yes dear?
Going somewhere?
-What day is it? -Tuesday.
-What day is it, dear? -It's Tuesday.
-It's my birthday. -Today is the 5th, not the 7th.
It is the 5th and it is my birthday.
-What? -I'm going to my sisters till I find a new place...
The leftovers are in the fridge and tomorrow you're on your own.
Bye!
AFTER 17 YEARS OF PROPER MARRIAGE, DRAGICA'S DREAM CAME TRUE.
SHE WAS FREE.
SHE'S THE FIRST TO FIND HAPPINESS IN OUR STORY.
GODSPEED, DRAGICA!
-You pathetic ***! -What's wrong, babe?
You bloody ruined everything!
I'll find a new job... Politics was never my forte.
Who would hire you, sodding Caritas? You're a punchline now!
-I spoke the truth! -Sod the truth, what planet are you from...
Do penguins flock around you and chirp lullabies like nightingales?
I wanted to make you proud. Now that we're together...
Together? We're not together!
I've lost a boyfriend and a job, not my mind!
What a day... Bloody tuesday!
What now?
I'm gonna get wasted and find a new sugardaddy.
I suggest you find a good therapist!
Well... How long since you last got laid?
Since the divorce... About... 12 years!
12 years... Bloody hell, what a loser!
Okay... I get that sex isn't everything, doc...
You have a good job... Helping people...
While I'm just a waste of space.
This is not quite my dream job.
Actually I really wanted to be...
An actor... Spent 4 years trying to break thru...
Wanted to quit medical school... But then I met Her!
My wife.
She encouraged me to continue my education...
And specialise in psychiatry, as a great foundation for acting...
So I graduated with the wrong degree...
But with the right woman!
That's what it's all about... Love.
It was lovely in the start...
I loved helping people... She helped me...
Then I grew bored of my job...
She grew bored of me.
One day she said she misses...
excitement...
Needed to turn a new page...
She left me...
And I just stopped caring...
I sit here... Staring into oblivion...
Muttering...
For 12 long years, my lad.
Well... At least you've got money.
Sod the money!
Sod it all! Take me back...
to the start.
Doc...
Come...
Lie down...
Relax...
It'll be fine...
Not all tragedies are in black & white...
-Some color remains... -It's Technicolor!
You know, only bees see the actual world.
For a 150 million years, the bees...
make honey in the same way.
VANJA THOUGHT VIRGINITY MIGHT EVEN BE A VIRTUE.
They visit a 1000 flowers a day...
BUT HE DESPERATELLY WANTED TO GET LAID!
That's 30000 flowers...
Before death!
-Where are the penguins? -They're long gone.
-What happened? -They croaked from the heat!
No... They flew south for the winter.
How could you do this to me?
Get up gramps!
You're...
I'm taking revenge for the years of catatonia.
Your logical Id suppressed your desires.
And made me an impotent witness to the atrocity...
you call OUR life!
You're my Ego?
Your youth...
Your wailing subconscious!
Which broke thru in your moment of weakness.
But your consciousness will soon recover...
and return me to my prison.
So I'm sorry.
You'll kill me?
Let's call it a mercy kill.
You can't kill US. You're but a mere Ego.
True.
Ego lacks the power.
But I have a secret!
I'm also your...
Superego!
There's a story...
Some zen crap...
About an eagle's egg that drops into a henhouse.
So the young eagle gets raised by the chicken...
I don't give a crap about your childhood...
All I ask from my clients is professionalism!
But I've had it with commercials and crap. I'm a thespian!
Stop whining, I was also an actress.
But I was smart enough to follow the money into management.
To calm you, I've got a script for you.
Script... Film... A role!
Not quite a role...
It's the narrator for a postmodern tragicomedy.
The narrator?
-I wanted a proper acting job! -Zip it... You're lucky this director is a friend.
Actual jobs require compliant people.
I guess a film's a film.
Good boy. I need you to be presentable for the director.
You mean a suit and a tie?
-No. I know an expensive shrink. -A shrink?
-So he's good? -No, just expensive! My treat.
Hello Fjord. It's Clara.
I know you don't work on tuesday...
Yes it's the neglected actor syndrome...
Kinda urgent!
It's my day off...
If it's urgent...
Really urgent... I'll be ready in an hour!
Trust me doc, you won't regret this!
