- From an egg. But who laid that?

But where does the hen come from.

From an egg. But who laid that?

- The hen.

But where does the hen come from.

- From another hen.

Purko, you are an expert on eggs.

Which came first into the world -

the egg or the hen?

First came hen.

But where did it come from?

- Well...

A hen might just fly in

from anywhere.

An egg cannot.

Let's drink to that!

- Cheers!

Where are you going?

Who's paying?

Damned be that pig!

Disaster! The new member

of parliament is coming tomorrow.

If you don't repair the foot

I will throw you out of the village.

It's coming! It's coming!

The carriage is coming.

It is coming.

Move aside!

Move aside!

Start playing.

Start already! Come on!

Purko's missing.

- Where is he? Where?

Play the march!

Welcome, Mr. Totmakov!

Mrs. Totmakova!

It's Tokmakov.

- I'm sorry, Mr. Tokmakov. This way!

This way, please!

Dear co-villagers!

Today our guest is Mr. Totmakov.

Tokmakov!

- Mr. Tokmakov.

Our new member of parliament will

unveil a monument and give a speech.

Please!

Congratulations!

Ladies and gentlemen,

our party erected this monument

as a symbol of the dear victims

that your small but heroic village

has suffered for the sake Bulgaria.

I have too risen

from the ranks of the people

and reared with your suffering

so I most solemnly declare

that our party

will undertake drastic measures

so that we can overcome

the desperate situation you are in

and finally end your suffering.

Because you are the ones

that work and pay taxes

in order to support us -

the rulers...

The government...

The army, and even the king himself.

The people needs serVant,

not masters.

Purko.

The taxman is coming.

Don't do this!

Go away! Go hide somewhere!

Where is your husband?

- He's not here.

Where is he?

- Somewhere in the fields.

I'm sorry. Pardon me!

You are free to go.

Wait for me in the municipality.

I won't let him fool me any more.

- He cannot fool you.

You are an educated man

and my Purko is a plain person.

Does he believe he can avoid me?

- Yes, sir. He is very trusting.

He is stupid.

- Yes, he is.

If he were clever, he would be rich.

But he managed to lure

a beautiful woman.

Only to suffer with him.

Are the children here?

- No. Way?

I came for the cow,

but now I wonder if I should.

Don't, Mr. Taxman.

Wait a little more.

Don't, Mr. Taxman!

- Let go.

Wait! I said wait!

- Let me go.

Let go, I said.

- Don't, Mr. Taxman!

Please, don't! Wait a little.

- Come here.

Mr. Taxman!

Have you no shame?

Easy! You'll brake my glasses.

You are so pretty!

Just a little bit.

Only for a moment.

Mommy! Mommy!

- Can't you see I'm pregnant?

Then I'm taking the cow.
