No.

Blue.

Go away.

Idiot.

Eh, she'll be back.

You watch.

Want to buy a tree?

F*** off.

We need wood.

Hey, what are you doing?

Rene.

Christ's sake.

Hey, put it back.

No, God da... put it back!

We've been here 10 days

and we have sold nothing.

We could have hit

three stereo stores back home

with half the trouble.

Coming here is the

stupidest thing I ever done.

Yeah? Well, I disagree.

Yeah.

Last year we barely broke even.

And I nearly got

pneumonia twice.

Going straight

is 10 times the work

and you make about a million times

less than the bullshit we used to do.

But you know what else?

What?

You don't go to prison.

Oh, wow.

You really are a dumb, dumb...

fuckhead, Rene.

Therese was right about you.

Sorry?

You're a criminal.

With a small dick.

Nobody wants to sell me tree?

Okay, don't sell me tree.

Oh.

Oh, hey.

Sorry, the other guy's not here.

And what is wrong with you?

What? Nothing.

Why can't you sell me tree?

Yeah.

You got light?

Light?

You got biggest, best tree?

Mm-hmm.

You're liar. Vermont guys

three block over got...

they have biggest, best trees.

Mm-mm.

But I feel so lazy.

No sleep last night.

There.

Yes, good.

Maybe.

How can I see this?

Give me that.

I got it.

There you go.

Okay.

Yeah?

How much is this?

Oh, uh, $20.

Ay, no.

$15.

$15? This $200 tree.

What?

Yeah.

But, you know,

then I do the thing with you

and you give it to me for $175.

Okay. Yeah.

I got money.

I need it delivered.

Oh, uh, well,

I... I can't leave

the lot right now.

When can you?

When the other guy gets back.

Very soon.

Okay.

The house is Van Toller Street,

number 192.

192 Van Toller Street.

Here.

Very good. Thank you.

Good. Thank you.

Uh, sorry,

what about the money?

First tree, then money.

I know what people

like you are like.

I was just talking to this man

who says

he hasn't eaten anything

for the last three years

of his life

except bananas

and vegetable broth.

Says he's never felt better.

Guess what.

I brought you something.

You know, you really hurt my feelings

when you called me a fuckhead.

Now you should have

some of this.

All right? Just...

where are you...?

Dennis, come on.

Where...?

Where are you going?

De...

hey, did you sell a tree?

Did...?

Oh, yeah.

Amazing!

Hi there.

You're lucky I still

suffer the insomnia.

Okay, come in, please.

This way.

And remove your shoes.

Where I am from, my father cuts

down Christmas tree himself

in Chernyayevsky Forest.

This is before they shot him

to death, of course.

This way.

You have family?

Yeah. I mean, I'll be going

back to them, yeah.

You should put it here

by window.
