The Promising Boy (Дечко који обећава)

THE PROMISING BOY

Starring

They're here! Masha's waiting. Dinner's on the table.

Change!

What is this? -What?

Well, this. This here.

I played with the guitar.

Hello! How are you? -Hello, boy!

Son, hello! -Good day!

What kind of a greeting is that?

Son, wash your hands.

Excuse me! -He's absent minded. -The hell he is.

With 24 years of age, he should know how to say hello.

How will he earn his living? At his age,

we were already sewing our officer ranks, right?

Don't, Voja. Slobodan is a good boy.

Very good!

Thank you.

How long until graduation, Slobodan?

Just a little bit, but I don't have a graduation exam.

How is karate going? Any chance for the blue belt?

He's still green.

Screenplay

Wait a minute, let me take some carrots.

Directed by

It's nothing. Another attack.

The same? -The same.

Are you mad? -You'll never be a samurai.

You have to pay for every experience. Once again.

Another attack. Come on!

Be tough!

Not so fucking rough. -Tough, tough.

OK, tough, but not so rough. Don't hit me in the head.

I'm waiting!

See? Everything's better when your ass starts hurting.

Every fall is a new experience.

Where did he go? -He's down there.

Every fall is a new experience.

Where is Masha taking you tonight? -To some lecture.

Nice. You have time for everything except karate.

You mean, I'll never be a samurai? -You will.

I'll see to that. -Doesn't it depend on me?

It depends on the circumstances. You just have to adapt.

And if I don't? -Then you're fucked.

There is a paradox in the anecdotal fact.

The mystery that opens the door of art.

Fuck him. He gave me a seven just because I didn't say

that science hands over that mystery to art.

Dinosaurs weren't profitable,

therefore, nature canceled them. Why would we be so sure

that such a thing cannot happen to the human race?

You're not worried about the human race?

Shall we? An exercise? -What exercise?

An exercise before gynecology. -In the car? -Yeah.

No, that's for movies.

And if I lower the seats?

See?

Where did you learn that?

You're so bad.

A bit lower.

Do you feel anything? -I do.

What?

What? Something special?

I have a spiral.

Why didn't you talk to my mother first?

She has a PhD on that.

They say it's best. No consequences.

And your mom used to tell you...

Not to take the pill.

That foamy shit is ridiculous.

Did the wire bother you?

What? -The little wire.

Wire.

As if I feel something.

What? -Something is trembling.

Don't make up. If I hadn't told you, you wouldn't even know.

You know...

Ana always told me that the best fucking is in the car.

So? -Nothing.

We can do it more often.

I'm a bed guy.

You are so provincial. -Provincials are best fuckers,

and the bed is one of the greatest inventions of mankind.

Ouch, fuck the gear.

My little provincial.

Kid, you filmed this well. Very esthetical.

What is this? Where am I? -You're not in the frame.

Child, you must film this better next time.

Old man, you're in the car.

We, the politicians, are never in the car, understand?

You know nothing about alcohol, that's your only mistake.

A boy of your caliber should be familiar with it.

And what's his caliber? -He's a sportsman. Understand?

Mom would do anything just to touch Slobodan.

You're so rude!

Do you hear your daughter?

Stupid. Took after her mother.

No more cinema.

Boban and I will have a game of poker.

Don't be boring.

Boban doesn't play poker. -You have to learn to play poker.

We're going to my study. Prepare some snacks.

Good morning!

Do you speak French?

German?

I'm looking for a hotel. -A hotel?

My name is clavis... clavis Buch...

I am Suisse. -Suisse?

Yes. Switzerland.

That's great.

You have time.

It's my first time in Yugoslavia.

I like it very much.

I've seen all the monasteries.

Very interesting.

Come on, give me a wash.

This is romantic!

But without psychoanalysis.

Psychoanalysis is romantic.

It is!

For example, Hollywood is very romantic.

Religion is not romantic. Not here.

What about cheese, chocolate, Red cross,

banks, watches, cantons...

Every capital is interesting.

You'll show me, OK? -OK.

I'll be here 5-6 days.

I hope I'll see you.

Wonderful.

Give me your hand...

close your eyes... close them.

Look at it later.

Promise?

Don't look at it now. OK?

I'm romantic... Like...

Hollywood and psychoanalysis.

What is this?!

Are you out of your mind, you idiot?!

Turn that shit off!

I don't want to hear a single sound from this room.

Is that clear?! You're gonna be as quiet as a mouse.

You're supposed to say "good night". -It's already dawn.

Here we have several types of tumors.

Each one will be one question at the exam.

This is one of them. Gliomastoma multiforma.

Milosevic just can't get used to this.

Never a doctor out of you!

Wonderful... Wonderful!

Happy birthday.

Happy birthday... Go on, take a picture of this.

Faster! Faster! -I have to sharpen.

Watch out, all your candles will blow off!

Dad, you're bad luck. Just look at him.

Do you hear how he's talking to us? -All right...

Please, do you hear him?

Come on...

Watch out... Wait, wait...

Let me take a deep breath.

Let's see. -Let's see...

It's obvious he's helping you. We'll have to do it once more.

I don't look so bad, do I?

Half of the college is still in love with you.

Just a half? -Well, men only.

Who is it? -lt's me.

Who me? -Me... I... Slobodan.

Me... I...

Sorry... -I'll be ready in a minute.

They say Balkan people are late.

Just a minute...

I usually wear contacts.

It's more practical.

I want to see everything.

OK... I'll take your word for it.

Studenica monastery.

I want heaven.

You're sure...

Sit still!

What's this?

I'm interested in this. It's before the war...

Understand?

As if they knew about Tzara.

It's avant-garde, understand?

Do you like Lenny Von Riefenstahl?

How come you like Goddard then?

It's a pity... Your loss...

Give me your hand.

Bad boy.

This you won't wash.

This is interesting for psychoanalysis.

What?

Let me see.

It looks more like...

We don't have time to understand each other.

Give me your foot.

If you wash this, I'll be very angry with you.

You're beginning to understand.

You are the promising boy.

Seems Masha and Boban had some kind of fight.

Probably some Masha's capric again.

You always blame women for everything.
