Good night!
Did you like?
So and so.
I meant Miroiu.
Are you looking for someone?
The 7th grade! I didn't see anyone from the 7th grade!
I am over 18 years old!
Bravo, mr. Udrea! Some of us are in inspection, other are making fun!
You are right young lady, it was always like this!
Did you see Dolores del Rio acting?
Yes, a skinny one! Nothing special!
She got it, she got it! I had seen Dolores del Rio in Bucharest in a talking movie!
Does she have a good voice?
Yes she has and she sings, and when he tells her, ...I love you blonde beast, you are the woman of my dreams...!
Mr. Udrea, please accompany me a few steps!
At your orders, young lady!
Home?
No!
At the station?
No, no! To your friend, mr. Miroiu.
But what did he do wrong?
Excuse me, is he waiting for you?
Him? No, no! I want to ask him something.
Miroiu!
Miroiu!
Miroiu is not a bad name!
Miroiu, it's me, Udrea!
It's a friend! The music teacher, where I want to sleep!
I go to speak to him!
Mr. Miroiu!
And who is this one?
The Physics and Chemistry teacher.
And what does she want?
No idea!
Mr. Miroiu!
Answer! What are you waiting for?
A moment!
What do you please?
Nothing! Miss. Cucu wants to talk to you.
Something bad at school?
No....! At yourself!
Myself? Here?
Yes!
I would like to see something! If I don't disturb!
Did your lover arrive?
Madam, you don't know me!
The fiance, maybe!
Madam, you don't know her!
When a woman comes to a man at night ...
She is coming!
Let her come!
To find you here? God forbid!
But who is this woman in fact?
She is the town madam, the town! Madam, you must disappear!
I don't jump through the window, you must know it in advance!
Please, only one minute, to see what do they want.
I am sleepy!
You said it is over!
Well, now it is back!
Please!
Just a moment!
I count till 100. If they don't leave till 100 ....
One, two, three, four, ...
You are so slow, to open the door!
It's a pity you missed the movie! At some point,...
I hope you didn't come to narrate the movie!
Only a fragment. At some point, the hero doesn't know how to hide, ...
But, what is this? It smells like perfume.
I don't feel anything!
How don't you feel? The smell gives me dizziness!
Miss Cucu it's late and I would like to know why, ...
Mr. Miroiu, I know everything!
Really everything?
Is it true? Is it true that you paid 22000 lei for a book?
Yes, it's true!
Do you believe, now?
And you told her, as soon as she asked!
Miss Cucu doesn't ask! She interrogates!
Perfect! Then tell her that you lent me 3000 lei for the book!
3100
100.
Please, a 100 more!
I'm patient till 1000!
How are you?
Patient! And now that this vital problem is clarified, I wish you a good sleep!
Mr. Miroiu, when someone, a teacher, pays 22000 lei for a book, please allow me to say that ...
I don't allow anything! Young lady, I do whatever I want with my money, otherwise!
Your money? What money? You owe the barman 500 lei.
I have 1000 lei as credit limit.
You afford a haircut only once in two months.
This is the fashion in Paris!
And do you know what I heard? That you sew your socks yourself!
No, no, this is an infamy! Don't believe her!
I know what I say! And then I ask. To pay 22000 lei for a book, isn't a stupidity?
Maybe, but it's my stupidity and I don't report to anyone!
Reporting, no! But,...
Two or three explanations!
I told her to be patient until tomorrow morning, but she cannot sleep without knowing everything.
Ignorance gives her insomnia!
How can you speak like that, mr. Udrea?
Where is the book?
There!
I would like to see it!
No!
What? Do you refuse to show it to me?
Yes!
I refuse!
I would bear you inspecting my clothes but not my readings!
My intimate life is not in the wardrobe, but in the bookshelves!
I ask you one more thing.
Don't ask it!
Young lady!
Mr. Udrea, let's go! But you must know that there is something weird in this house!
Udrea! Take the scorpion home and return! I need you!
Udrea!
I come, I come!
Allegro prestissimo and again from the start!
999, 1000.
You were right! It fits you nicely with longer hair!
What? Did you hear?
Everything!
Is it true that ...
No, it is not!
You must show the book to me!
Don't you want?
You don't know me, I don't know you. I am here for a night only.
It's a book,....how to say it, ...? A rare book!
I ordered it from abroad last winter without hoping to receive it.
When I expected the least to get it, the seller from Bucharest announced me that it arrived.
I don't understand!
I told you! It's an old book.
An astronomy book.
Look! Uppsala, 1763.
This is why it costs so much?
It is cheap! It's a wonder that I found it! I was searching it for years, dreaming it!
I've been saving money for years. I give classes, ...
You sew your socks yourself.
Yes! Sometimes!
But now, now I have it! Now I can check! I can find out!
To find out? What?
Don't you want to tell me?
I found a star.
Where?
In the sky.
I don't believe you!
It is here.
You told me that it is in the sky.
This is the sky.
The Polar Star, Ursa Minor, Ursa Major with seven stars, four and three, Alcor.
The star that I discovered is here!
You better show it to me outside!
It is invisible!
I can't understand!
I found it on the paper, through computations.
What don't you understand?
Then, the book? Why do you need it?
It is a sky catalog. An atlas. A catalog of van Mersch.
My star is not found in any stars catalog. Not even Kepler! For a moment I thought that Herschel, but it was a double star there.
The only one who could have found it was him, van Mersch because he had the courage!
Does one need courage to find a star?
Yes! And thus there must be something true about what he calls black stars.
At the university they call him dilettante, astrologist!
Of course, a man with wider vision becomes astrologist, charlatan, mad!
It will be no wonder if they say I am also mad as they think about me at school.
But my star does exist! There up in the sky!
Come!
Do you see the Ursa Major?
Seven stars. Four and three.
Look higher!
My star is there!
In some evenings the stat is is cold, indifferent.
In some other evenings it is close and it pays attention so much that I think it would hear me if I scream.
Miroiu!
Mr. Udrea!
It's so good that you came!
You don't know me but I know you! Come inside please!
Madam, I ...
Why didn't you tell me you aren't alone?
Madam, please believe me, if I knew ...
We go!
Where?
To you!
I'll sleep at you.
Why?
I'll explain!
And the madam?
The madam remains here.
You quarreled!
Do you know what he said?
That he discovered a star.
It might be true! Isn't him an astronomer?
I myself wrote a symphony! A symphony in four parts: Allegro, Andante, Scherzo, ...
And again Allegro.
Let's go!
Mr. Udrea! Tell me about the symphony!
It has four parts.
Has it ever been performed?
No, because they prevent me from doing so!
Who?
Everybody. The local authorities, the college administration.
Udrea, it's getting late!
You said the college administration.
Wait and see, madam! I wanted to perform the symphony with the college orchestra.
So it has an orchestra!
It doesn't have, but I could have organized it because what is so much needed?
8 violins, 2 cellos, an alto, a contra-bass, it is possible to find brasses and I can take blowers from the battalion fanfare.
But they won't give you!
I agree, but say they give it to me!
Still it means nothing, because I miss the English horn!
And, can't it be without the English horn?
God forbid! Until the Scherzo, let's say it would be possible,
but at Scherzo, I am dead without the English horn!
The brasses first, then the violins, ...
and now the English horn.
Wait and see!
