Screw them.

They would rip you off

since they raised the medicines prices.

What you need is rest, buddy,

sohlaffen and cabbage juice.

Don't be tense,

it won't go away if you fight it.

- It hurts, Sandu.

- Don't be stubborn.

Like I said, I didn't find Distonocalm

but I brought you Diclofenac.

But I have Diclofenac.

Well, I don't know what to say,

- Let me give you one just now.

- Don't rush to give him one.

It isn't good for ulcer.

Check this out.

- We only buy homeopathics for ourselves.

- So, do you need this?

I'm not sure, I wanted a Distonocalm.

And you give him Diclofenac when

the man's been puking since morning.

I didn't know. I'll go

and get Metrocropmide right away.

He should have said it's nausea.

When I'm hung over, I just rub

my arms and I'm back to normal.

What's she doing?

Oh, f***!

Miki!

What?

What the hell are you doing,

trying to set us on fire?

Wait, don't turn it off.

Turn it down and leave it.

Come on, it didnt get burned.

Nice of you to sort this one out.

Another one sorted by you!

Look at my burn. F***ing pan!

Are you gonna get those pills?

So, Romica, note the following aspect.

the nausea is caused by the drink

and it's not good for your stomach.

you don't drink the right way,

you're mixing the drinks.

Stop mixing the drinks.

Gee, but you stink. What the hell

have you drunk? Rat poison?

Are you giving me that, or what?

These are not good for you,

with your ulcer...

Only after you eat.

- How are you doing, boy?

- Good evening.

Robert, tell your dad I need that

drilling machine if he's finished with it.

Tell him to bring it down,

cause I need the f***ing thing.

- OK, Ill tell him.

- Don't forget.

Great, I have to ask

for my own things!

So, Romica, one for now

and the other one for tomorrow

morning, with the coffee.

But first, take a hot bath, eat

something, and then you take the pill.

But get in the tub, and make sure

it's hot, otherwise it's useless.

Come on, up a daisy.

You have to move, to sweat the alcohol.

Listen, Sandu, I was feeling well,

and now I'm feeling ill.

Let's take you to bed.

I had this stomach ache from my ulcer,

and now I have a headache too.

Now I have a headache

and a stomach ache.

Easy buddy,

let me get you inside, to lie down.

Wait, easy now.

- I can manage.

- Sure.

Once again, the lack of concentration

leads to death on the Romanian roads.

While driving on the national road 1,

a heavy truck driver fell asleep,

and left his lane going over

to the other side of the road.

He then hit a bus full of tourists,

just outside Saftica village.

This collision has triggered

a chain crash.

Up to now there are 7 recorded deaths
