BOOMERANG

GOOD MORNING, MY DEAR FRIENDS.

THE GUARDIAN ANGEL HAS ONCE AGAIN APPEARED OVER SERBIA.

AFTER A FEW WARS, TWO EARTHQUAKES,

ONE BIG FLOOD, ONE BOMBING CAMPAIGN,

AND A SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD

PEACE FINALLY REIGNS IN SERBIA.

HOW LONG IT WILL LAST? NO ONE KNOWS.

BUT FOR NOW, LET'S SEE HOW SOME PEOPLE

ARE LIVING AND ADAPTING

TO THESE BORING TIMES OF PEACE.

AND I, THE GUARDIAN ANGEL WILL JOIN YOU AGAIN IN 90 MINUTES.

Morning, Bobby.

Cool!

What's this junk?

Ro-lex.

Three points!

How dare you fire at me, you little shit!?

I can't get drunk in my own bar without people teasing me.

As soon as I open my eyes, I see only darkness.

Don't touch Darinka!

No-goods like you have ruined this country!

Everyone else does something.

Drug dealing, cigarette smuggling...

But you just spend my pension and sell the family heirlooms.

Speaking... Yeah, I've got Darinka.

Of course it is an original. From my granny...

Yes, sir. No, it's not stolen; it's inherited.

Okay, tonight at Boomerang.

Boss, how about I report her to the police? -To the police?

Find her, you idiot! Who am I working with...?

'O, accordion of mine,

Soaked with tears,

Do you know to someone else my darling is pledged?

Do you know to someone else she is pledged?'

May God bless you, son. May He give you health.

May God give you happiness.

Don't use all that God stuff on me. -Okay, I won't.

Don't go to the cinema today. I see misfortune.

It's just some comedy anyway.

There's an excellent movie tomorrow.

Griffith's 'Birth of a Nation'.

Real racism! Great!

Today something bad might happen.

Well where should I go then? -Let me think.

Here, have a smoke. -No thanks.

Did I mention that there's an interesting exhibition...

...at the National Museum? -Get lost! Beat it!

Whatever. I've warned you. Something bad might happen!

Don't do that, kid.

You have to pay, kid. -I know I have to pay, lady.

Is something wrong?

A migraine. I haven't slept for three days.

I've got just the thing. -It's no use.

I took ten German aspirin. No affect.

This is powder from America. You can't get it in a drugstore.

From America? I guess it can't hurt. -Of course not.

What are you doing down there? -I've lost my watch.

If you see a Rolex engraved with the words:

'To my brother for his 19th birthday, sis Olga', please...

I'll buy you a drink. -Yeah, no problem.

Not through the mouth, through the nose.

The nose? Like this? -Yes, as hard as you can.

What are you doing in here?! -I need to piss.

What are you doing here?! -This is the female toilet.

I didn't know toilets had sexes. What's your name?

Red Riding Hood. I'm taking cakes to my Granny.

And what's in your bag? -Cocaine. It's excellent.

I'm shaking up decent citizens.

The movie is boring anyway. Feel like having a drink?

A Gypsy woman said I'd meet a handsome man in the can here.

And that I'd end up marrying him.

Tell me the first thing that comes to your mind.

I'd love us to spend some time together.

You mean you want to screw me? -Well, yeah. -Well, okay.

Have you got a boyfriend? -You're jealous already.

Wait here, I have to take a leak.

Did it work?

The pain's completely gone. I feel great.

Now I can see life's real colors.

How I've wasted my life on trivial things.

I won't charge anyone ever again. Free toilets!

My life's completely changed, kid...

Completely. -Cool! Now make the most of it.

See the world, meet new people, new exotic religions.

Read beautiful books, listen to classical music. Have kids!

Here's a bit more medicine. It'll change your life.

Thanks, kid.

Hey, Tony! Where are you, man!?

Listen, I've found the woman of my dreams.

She can change the world. I don't even need to piss now.

It's a miracle, Tony!

Mickey, buddy, hold your horses. Think it over. Bye.

Miracle? Fire is a miracle!

There you go. -Wait! Keep your money. No charge!

I've had a vision. God gave me a second chance!

Give the money to someone needy.

Some of us can still pay for a piss.

What's with that painting? Did you steal it?

Look who's talking!

This is Sodom and Gomorrah!

It can't go on like this! I'm quitting the toilet!

I'm off to a monastery! I'm out of here!

We talk about progress and the future of our country,

but in fact we're just one big shit!

There's no one to slam down their fist and to say:

'Enough is enough!' Everything's falling apart!

You who spend your money on drinks and whores,

have you ever given a cent to a beggar, or shown mercy

to your fellow creatures? Where will your souls go?

Communists!

Hypocrites! Long live Stalin!

What a character!

I can't go home, my father will kill me.

For the sake of our marriage don't bullshit.

It leads to confusion in nuptial relationships...

Is your dad that tough?

When he was my age he killed lots of people.

A Partisan, eh?

Sis! It's late. What will Dad say? -I don't give a damn.

Yeah, then he'll spank me again.

You're unique, eh? -I'm going to run this guy over.

It pisses me off the way they think they own the street.

Step on it!

Did you see that hit and run?

Should I get his licence plate, boss, to give it to the police?

You idiot! We're the bad guys.

That's my third. They still haven't caught me!

What have you done, sister? -I'm not your sister.

I'm your wife-to-be. -I still haven't proposed to you.

As long as you know who you're dealing with.

Anyway, you're an accomplice.

I didn't want to. -Why do you do things you don't want?

You're not one of those dull, boring, ironic types, are you?

That was a man! -He was old, ugly and mean!

How do you know he wasn't some really great guy?

Only God can judge that sort of thing.

God's lost sight of the criteria.

I killed him, someone will kill me...

Equilibrium will once again be established in the universe.

The end of the world is near.

Really?

So, you'll marry me? -Sure, the prophecy must come true.

Didn't I say it might be a bad day?

Mister?

Are you alive?

Shall I read your palm?

Bobby, man! I always shit myself when I come in here.

Well, do you think you can just walk in?

Do we have to risk our lives to have a drink in this bar?

Why do you drink when it's bad for you?

You're crazy enough even when you're sober, Bobby.

Come on. House rules. Three, four, go!

You always beat me when it's the three of us.

Put this somewhere safe, so Tony doesn't set the bar on fire.

Don't worry, I'll take good care of it.

Now let's have some music! -No!

How can you listen to that, Bobby? -Hard Serbian rock!

So, what are we drinking?

What are we drinking?

We've been drinking the same thing together for 20 years.

And me personally since I was in my mother's womb.

Do you know what my mother used to say to me?

'Son, I drank to make a man out of you.'

That's mothers for you!

Even when they drink, they think of their kids.

They do. -Bloody hell.

Why are you all dressed up? Did someone kick the bucket?

You don't know? -No. -Mickey's getting married!

This is my best man! -I'm your best man!

Cheers!

Sorry! -It was an accident. Seriously.

Here you go. -Thanks. -Don't mention it.

Merci, monsieur. -Absolutement.

It was love at first sight. -I'd love to meet this wench.

Don't call her that, Bobby. -Sorry, Mickey.

My life's just beginning. -Got a bag full of cocaine.

Who? Mickey? -Her.

She's from a decent family then.

I'm not getting married for the dowry, guys.

And she really is from a decent family.

Her father was both a Chetnik and a Partisan.

A complete person. -Let's drink to that.

To Olga. -To Chetniks. -And to her dad.

Here's some medicine for you...

...and for you.

You'll feel better. Take it.

Here!

It's a new American super-medicine. Take it.

And here!

You can't get it at the pharmacy! Take it!

Here!

Shit! I'm going to be late for my wedding!

Password? -You crazy bastard!

How did you guess? -Scum! Liar!

I wasted the best years of my life supporting you

and making a man out of you! You pig!

While you were sleeping around!

Now you're leaving me, eh? With two kids?!

On the street, without a dime!
