Oh, God!
Sweet Mother of God, help me!
Come here!
I'll teach you!
Cigarettes, Bay Linko!
- How many?
Daddy! Daddy!
It's twins, Dad!
Congratulations, Purko!
- Congratulations!
You have to buy a round.
- Keep your mouth shut!
May they grow healthy and strong.
And let God watch over them!
Bay Linko!
- Yes.
Give everybody what the want.
And a box of lemonade for the kids.
Am I paying you to sit here?
Don't be like that!
I'll do your field tomorrow.
Purko has just had twins.
Come have a drink.
You might just haVe a child, too.
Gee! Come on!
It's coming! It's coming.
It's on its way.
Come here! Start the march!
Purko's missing!
- Where is he?
Where is Purko?
Faster! Where have you been?
Start playing!
Welcome!
Please, this way!
Dear co-villagers!
Today our guest is Mr. Tokmakov.
- Totmakov.
Sorry, Totmakov.
He is our member of parliament,
who will now unveil a monument
and giVe a speech.
Please!
Dear ladies and gentlemen,
this monument
has been erected by our party
as a symbol of the dear victims
that your small but heroic village
has suffered
for the sake of Bulgaria.
I have too risen
from the ranks of the people
and I have been reared
with your suffering.
That is why I solemnly declare
that our party
will undertake drastic measures
so that we can finally oVercome
the desperate situation you are in.
Because you are the ones that work
and the ones that pay taxes
in order to sustain us -
the rulers, the government, the army,
and even the king himself.
This means you are the masters
and we are your servants.
The people needs servants,
not masters.
The taxman's coming.
Asparuh Kanchov!
- Yes, sir!
Have you received tax notices?
Why haven't you paid?
A writ of execution has been issued
against you for delinquent taxes.
And another one
on behalf of Kuno Benov.
You borrowed money from him
and did not pay back.
I'm taking your cow.
Bring it out!
Go away. Don't come close.
Purko!
- Get off!
Purko!
Please, Purko!
Empty the house then.
You haVe a wife and kids, too.
Put it off.
Don't do it, please!
GiVe us some more time.
But if you don't pay by St. Demetrius
I'll take everything you haVe.
I'll strip you naked.
Bay Linko!
- What is it?
Nothing, nothing.
Have you brought an egg?
- No.
Do you want a drink?
- No, not now.
Bay Linko, I was just...
It's nothing much...
I'd like to start some kind of trade
if you would become my partner.
Who?
- You.
What kind of trade?
- Well...
The profit will be handsome
but I need you.
How much?
About 500 or 600 leva.
You have yourself a deal.
But you have to pay me back
your old debts.
Are you praying for your debts,
