I'm tending sheep on

a Serbian mountaintop,

I'm toasting with Putin

in Kiev and in Moscow,

friend of a friend

swears he saw me.

I'm everywhere and nowhere.

I am myth.

Three times they've offered

me plastic surgery.

Three times, begged me to

change my face, this face.

Now, that would be a crime.

They know they'll never

catch me, all of them.

They're just guests

in our house.

This is our house.

And my friends who waste

their hours watching over me

like nervous hens,

they're not so trusting.

They're here now, you know.

Yugo, two blocks back,

no front plates?

Black Mini, ahead, at 2:00.

They must be dying.

How did he manage so quickly?

And such an attractive

young thing, eh?

Come, I'll show ya.

Run!

[laughs]

[tires screeching]

[engine revving]

Ha!

[tires squealing]

[horns honking]

[laughing] I'm sorry,

that never gets old.

First lesson.

Royals, always,

and no f***ing filters.

- You're still smoking?

- Oh, so you do know something of me.

How about that, then?

A heart that's too large.

The joke's on them.

Smoke? God, yes. Old Solovek, finest

officer in our military history.

Only cigarettes could kill that

man, nothing else. Get a paper.

Phew.

Please, for my son.

Of course.

Thank you.

This color, this shape.

For this we fight wars.

Gorgeous vegetable,

raped by the Turks,

boiling away every last

vestige of nature's goodness.

They slaughter their cuisine,

you know that?

Read.

Bottom third, on the right.

Don't think, read.

Um...

Read the words.

I'm damn well dyslexic, so

if you don't want to sit here

all night while I flail,

save us both some time, go on.

"As key members of the

European Union prepare together,

and international

pressure mounts..."

Ugh, this is reading?

Come on, with inflection,

give it some life.

"Government officials

today conceded that

the country's effort to join

the European Union had been

hampered by the failure

to capture and deliver

into custody General..."

Oh, can't they use a

different photo, please?

"Indicted for war crimes

and crimes against humanity

by a Hague tribunal in

connection with the massacre

of thousands of

fighting-age men and boys

in the closing days of

the war under his command.

Government officials

continue to reassure

the international community

that every effort

is being made to ascertain

the whereabouts

of the fugitive military leader

whom they insist

- must be well hidden."

- Ha!

Hello, hello!

F***ing cowards can't stand up

on their own two feet.

Look at me.

Look how well hidden.

As if they're not paying

for all this themselves.

"The United States

this week officially

raised its offer

to $10 million U.S.
