Nade, come on in.

Don't take off your shoes.

Galche, make us coffee, please.

Sure.

- With sugar?

- No.

- Any milk?

- No.

Short or long?

Normal coffee.

Okay.

Nade, please, sit.

How are you doing?

Fine.

How is...

...the little one, how is she?

- Andrea.

- Yes... Andrea.

She's fine, growing up.

Next time bring a photo of her.

- Father, I need to...

- You know...

- Go on.

- No, you go first.

I'm glad you finally decided to come,

but next time you must

bring over Andrea...

...to see her grandfather

and meet her Aunt Galya.

When are you going

to put a grave stone for Mama?

I've commissioned it

to an architect in Sofia.

Let me show you.

- Galya!

- Yeah!

Where are the things

the guy from Sofia sent over?

Wait a second.

Don't bother, I found them.

They're just models.

The one with the baby angel is real cute.

I'm going to the bathroom.

Nade! Wait a little!

I'm done.

Sign each page.

- Bottom right only?

- Yes.

You know how I got him -

the guy who pinched the safe?

How?

- Guess! Use your brain a little.

- C'mon, tell me.

Wait.

See this? See the mark here?

- Hardly.

- Hardly, but it's a mark.

I call the jerk to come over.

I ask him to break a fifty for me.

He says, sure boss.

He thrusts his hand into his pocket

and takes out all the cash -all marked.

I started seeing red.

I'm telling you, man, I seized him,

brought him here.

Put his head here and I'm telling him

eat it, motherf***er, all of it.

And he started eating the notes,

can you believe it!

I barely saved this one.

I told him to stop! Stop it, jerk!

I was pulling his leg

but the jerk swallowed them.

I should've f***ed him, f***ing a**hole.

I've signed everything.

Let me see

how you've filled out the documents.

Wow, big money.

A woman, all by her self,

with so much money!

You want me to drive you somewhere?

No, thanks. I have a car.

Sure, if you have a car.

Come here! The woman is done.

What's this here?

I got it wrong - only this...

Don't worry. It's your copy.

Take a card.

Thanks.

Hey, you're not giving

the lady the marked ones?

It's for you -for coffee.

- Well, we've done our best.

- Thanks.

Good luck with the money.

Hi, miss.

Hi.

- Hello?

- Mrs. Daskalova?

Yes, speaking.

Hello?

It's Mr. Kutsev, the executory officer.

Sorry to bother you, but it's urgent.

Yes, what is it?

Well, there's been a mistake

with the last calculations

and the amount you've transferred is less.

So, I cannot stop the auction.

No, it can't be,

I've transferred the whole sum to you.

The whole sum, every single penny.

Well, there's been a mistake,

and in fact you owe 1 lev 37 cents more.

- How much do I owe you?!

- 1, 37leva.
