Once upon a time there was a city where
the inhabitants were either princes or paupers.
Between these two worlds
there were only stray dogs.
They were the middle class.
PHILANTROPICA:
"You know well...
that when I said 'it's over'
I didn't say a word.
I don't know where
I found the power
to smile when you walked away.
But today, when I am awake
from the nightmare,
and all I can see is the
emptiness you left behind...
today... I'm asking myself
how can I live without you,
how could I have let you leave.
It can't be... someone else can't have
the best that I had.
It can't be..."
...specially for Mr. Relu Baron,
our guest tonight...
"...it can't be..."
-Oh, yes, it can!
"Tell him that even though he took all I had,
I'd give him anything he wants
because all means nothing, so...
Please leave me the hope,
and be with me in my last hour
...it can't be, I won't let you."
You're welcome, and
we hope to see you again soon.
I hope you liked our
entertainment.
Very much.
Honey, is there a problem?
Laura?
Excuse me...
I'd like you to pay your bill, please.
I can't wait,
I'm getting off soon.
If you want anything else,
my colleague will be happy to serve you.
-Um, I think there's a mistake. With the zeroes.
-There, at...
No, sir. 3.200.000.
That's it, see for yourself.
the food for 2 people?
Well, let's see. You had:
One Cinzanno - 60.000,
plus 50 a Scotch, that's 130.
One fois-gras, two - 80. Appetizer - 330,
French Champagne - 1.800.000.
Is that 2.130.000?
Excuse me. Next:
Chateau Briant - 200, Val Doftana - 180, Pignot Noir
That's all 3.100.000. Plus two coffees and
two ice creams that's exactly 3.200.000.
And you also hurt Ms. Laura's feelings,
when she sang to you so nicely...
Pardon my asking, but
what kind of prices do you have here?
Restaurant prices, as you see on your list. But
the list prices are per ounce, not per serving.
Excuse us...
Listen, what if I told you I don't
have that kind of money on me?
Don't tell me that, please...
Well, let's say,
hypothetically...
I can't believe that, sir.
You, a gentleman...
I'm just asking,
what would you do?
What would I do if you told me that...
I'd pretend I didn't hear you.
Oh, of course, some well-known client amuses
himself by pretending he can't pay...
but it never happened, God forbid,
that a bill wasn't paid.
Oh...
Listen, would you get mad if I told you
that I'm in deep sh*t?
Don't tell me that, please,
don't tell me that...
-Me and my wife are both working...
-Why do you want to upset me, sir?
...and even together we don't make
that kind of money in a month.
Then why are you dining
at a restaurant? Eh?
It was a mistake...
Well, if it was a mistake, then it's bad,
because mistakes cost a lot.
Now, the cup is another 50.000,
and you made the lady cry.
I didn't know it would be that much.
Let's be civilized, let's make a deal.
I'll pay you in a few installments...
Do I look like a fool to you?
Look, I have 500.000, I'll give them to you.
Where can I get 3.000.000 now?
If we start with this tone,
then we discuss this differently.
It's not a different tone,
I was just explaining the situation...
Sandu, call Mugurel and Andone
here at once!
Honey, you know what?
We'll sell the washing machine tomorrow.
We'll sell your mother!
The washing machine is broken.
-Look how you talk to me...
-Forgive me...
Please, honey, forgive me, sometimes I go nuts.
Please forgive me, I didnt mean to...
So, what do we do now? Wait 'till morning?
Are you going to pay, or not?
Sandu, I told you
to send a couple of guys here!
-We're here, sir.
-So, let's not make a big deal, it's a shame.
Arrrrgh!
Get your hands off him!
Leave me alone, please.
Sir, let me explain what happened.
My wife and I are celebrating 10 years of marriage.
Usually we can't afford it.
I'm a high school teacher, she's a technician.
You realize how little we make...
It's true, we miscalculated
what we could afford.
Sir, for the woman it's important, maybe
you're married too and you know how it is...
Here's the deal:
she stays here, and yougo and come back with the money in one hour.
Where should I go, sir? At midnight,
where the hell would I get 3.000.000?
Tell me what to do, whack somebody?
Steal, kill, rob a bank?
Do we whack him?
Roulade!
Come here, come to daddy.
-Just a second, Baron, we have a small problem here...
-Come here, you bum, right now!
-Yes, sir...
-Put it on my bill, please.
Cross my heart, Baron, these two
don't deserve to have you pay for them...
Let them be, can't
you see they're so poor?
Well, you were lucky tonight.
It's ok, boys, the bill was paid.
-How was it paid?
-Because the Baron is happy tonight.
Next time you come to a restaurant,
bring the money with you!
'cause if my boys took care of you, you would
have paid a fortune to your dentist!
in such a situation...
That's what I was asking myself.
-Do you want me to tell you?
-Is it a long story?
-Depends, I could accompany you further, madam.
-Don't you think you should stop calling me madam?
-After only 10 years of marriage, that's too soon...
-Quit joking and start telling the story.
Ok, let's begin. 17 years old.
I hate this age.
I hate my students. Until 10 days ago,
my life was like this...
