I remember when they took Father away,

the music was playing…

At the cemetery, the guns were shooting…

He was a general.

What's the point of thinking about all this?

CAR WASH - FOR SALE

Go!

Forward! Back! Forward! Back!

Go!

Go!

Go!

One - two - three…

Why are your steps so big?

Just one step forwards and one backwards!

Forwards, backwards!

One next to the other.

Don't take such big steps.

One - two - three!

One - two - three!

Pull away!

One - two - three! Together and apart!

Together, turn.

Apart.

Look into your partner's eyes!

Turn, apart!

Try to keep the rhythm!

Turn, apart!

The first one is always bigger,

so you can have balance.

Like this, the turn can start easily…

with your partner.

So you don't get dizzy, look here and there…

Look here and there…

-Good-bye! -Bye!

Good bye!

Hello!

Bye!

SIBIU - MARTYR CITY

Shouldn't you be at the car-wash?

Yeah, I'll leave soon.

Take it, Foxy! Take it, girl!

What's up, Max?

Go!

-What's up, boss? -Hi.

-How are things, boss? -Good. You?

I heard you were asking after me.

Listen, Rafael.

I'll be honest with you.

I spoke to your trainer…

and we agreed.

In fact, I decided.

You should come over to me, and train here.

That gym is no place for you.

This is where you should be, next to me.

I'll give you three hundred euros,

each month, cash-in-hand,

One thousand euros each fight,

two thousand euros for a win.

If you're worth it,

there'll be even more coming your way, trust me.

I'm telling you, your place is next to me.

If you want to get somewhere, you need to be with me.

What do you say?

I don't know what to say, boss…

I'm going to tell you once more.

Train with me, alongside the best,

and I'll give you everything you need.

Only, I need your respect. And for you to do everything I say.

I'm going to ask you again: what do you say?

What do you think? Do you agree?

I don't know what to say, boss…

I'll do everything I can to make sure you figure it out.

Off you go, we'll speak later.

Ay, truly…

For the power of beauty will sooner transform

honesty from what it is to a bawd

than the force of honesty can translate beauty into his likeness.

This was sometime a paradox.

But now the time gives it proof.

I did love you once.

Indeed, my lord, you made me believe so.

You should not have believed me.

For virtue cannot so inoculate our old stock but we shall relish of it.

I loved you not.

I was the more deceived…

Thou should not be a breeder of sinners!

I am myself indifferent honest,

but yet I could accuse me of such things

that it were better my mother had not borne me.

I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious,

with more offences at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in,

Imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in!

Good evening!

Good evening!

Sorry!

Yes?

-Congratulations! -Sorry. Thank you.

Congratulations!

You were wonderful, tremendous!

What are you doing?

I'm looking for a telephone number.

Why on Daddy's phone?

Because I don't have that number.

I'll get you dizzy!

Put your hands down!

Look how good you are! Go!

By the TV…

The time will come

and we will understand it all…

Why there is all this suffering?

When we will eventually understand, the pain will stop.

We have to work!

To work…

It is autumn now.

Soon it will be winter, and the snow will cover everything.

And I will work,

I will work…

How the military music sounds…

They are leaving us.

One of them is already gone forever,

forever and for good.

But we shall remain here.

And we shall start over again.

We have to live!

-Okay! Stop! -We have to live!

Why do you say here "We have to live, we have to live"?

What is your character doing here?

You don't know, that's why you're not acting well.

What are you doing there?

We're preparing for the show.

Do it after the rehearsal, we're not done here.

A longer cross… once more! Come on…

Make the cross wider, hook me with it…

Nice and wide, good.

Uppercut… Let's see.

That's good.

Go!

-How much are the pizza rolls? -Two Lei.

I'll have two pizza rolls.

And a two litre beer.

And an orange juice.

Here!

Come here!

For the next half hour we will teleport you in to the future

with two ideas that will change all you know

about money on internet, fame or passwords.

We will get help from two smart Romanians…

I'll get two glasses.

You will meet George…

Geography, history, math, even arts, are more attractive now.

Music classes are held in a classroom that resemble with a concert room.

At foreign language classes, the students…

We will witness the premiere of the movie 300: Rise of an Empire.

From now on, I'll only be boxing against big names.

…he'll crawl to the entrance of the hall where he will…

I want to say that…

Where?

At a new gym, with a manager… you don't know him.

Who'll train you?

Their trainer.

They'll give me one thousand euros per month

and three thousand euros every fight.

Bravo!

My first love was football.

I was going to all the football matches.

The first Steaua game I saw wasa Steaua-Craiova.

Craiova scored first. I was six-seven years old.

I was one of the few games where I was at a stand.

Most of the time, I watch…

I'm going out.

At this hour?

You're not going to bed?

I'm going out with some friends.

I'll sleep later.

The third one hard!

There!

Hard! Head up!

Don't bend down!

Stand straight!

After three hits, change the place… Avoid your opponent!

That's it!

That's it, go!

A burst to the head with the left!

A wider left, to the side of the bag, hitting over his hands,

in the neck, that's your target.

Faster with the left!

That's it!

Don't step back.

Right here, that's it, come on!

The third in the stomach!

More power in the left…

Not like that. Harder with the final left.

After you've finished, he'll want to hit you.

So that's when you counter-attack.

Once more. Go!

Bravo!

Too late!

In the palm, here.

Left.

With a stronger left.
