We barely had time to fight.

- We were at the rear from the start.

- There are lots of you.

They've been passing all summer.

And why aren't you in the army?

Or are you back already?

I'm a teacher.

And I have weak eyes.

I'm not fit for the army.

I taught children to love.

But to kill...

I somehow just can't kill.

But what if an enemy attacked you?

I can't kill and I won't.

I need to raise Grishuta.

To get him on his feet.

When everything settles down...

...rulership is established

and shools are opened...

...I'll teach children again.

Wait away,

they'll open your schools for you.

Why not?

The Germans are a cultured nation.

They belive in God.

They'll open schools,

establish civilized existence.

So what is it you're proposing?

Everyone should just go home.

It's up to you.

War naturally makes everyone pay.

But what price is for each to decide.

All right.

We need to be up early tomorrow.

Where should we lie down?

Let's go.

They say nice people used to live here.

Now it's nothing but riff-raff.

Does he get up?

He does.

- Is he walking?

- He is.

- Then why is he lying down?

- He's tired.

- Maybe you need a coffin?

- I don't.

- Think he'll make it?

- We'll nurse him back.

If you need it, tell me.

There's an old man here who makes coffins.

He fixes them fast.

He's barely alive himself.

Mabe you'll order one before he dies.

What about a drink?

Your stove is smoking.

It needs rebuilding.

Then again, the f*** with it.

My sister and I sold our apartment

and gave the money to a rest home.

But when we got there,

there was no rest home.

We came back to no apartment

and no buyer. Nobody.

Why is your dog so evil tempered?

Watch out or I'll shoot it.

- Did you come to tease my dog?

- This car is being looked for.

As is that passenger of yours.

I should turn you in, actually.

Look, I have handcuffs.

Want to take ride?

All right, I'll have time

to play with you later.

I'll send guys for the car,

but you get rid of your passenger.

Get it?

Or shall we go for that ride?

Fine, you're free for now.

But I'm shooting your f-ing dog.

Get out of here!

Come with me, we need to talk.

Who are you?

I'm asking you, you scum,

who are you?

Don't you show your face around here again.

- How's your eye?

- All right.

Did the wild man calm down?

He seems calm enough.

- His woman came around.

- I know.

So what?

Let him do some time.

I brought you a client.

He's interested in erotica.

We need to contact the loony-bin

ans ask if someone's escaped,

because he's a bit strange.

Your surname?

Your surname?

You see?

Do the paperwork.

What the hell do you want him for?

Is he violent?
