Poppy Field (Câmp de maci)

‏Big boy!

‏Really?

‏How are you?

‏Good.

‏Hello!

‏Thanks for letting us park here.

‏My pleasure.

‏Make sure to leave me ‏your phone number, just in case…

‏No, my brother isn't home this week, ‏the spot was empty anyway.

‏-Yeah? ‏-Yeah.

‏No, really, at least let me ‏give you my number.

‏And then give me a ring.

‏Hadi?

‏Yeah.

‏It's even.

‏It's a joke.

‏I was thinking ‏we could go somewhere together.

‏Take the car, ‏stay someplace overnight…

‏You don't have to justify yourself, ‏it's not worth it.

‏-You don't have to explain yourself. ‏-No, I'm not.

‏Yeah, you are.

‏I'm not, you are explaining yourself.

‏You don't have to justify yourself.

‏So, bon appétit.

‏Bon appétit.

‏You're spoiled.

‏Wait. Were you ever little?

‏-Did she really? ‏-Yes.

‏What are you doing here? ‏I told you not to come.

‏Oh, come on.

‏Give me a kiss.

‏Was that so hard?

‏I brought you the food from Mum, ‏I don't have any room for it in my fridge.

‏Wouldn't hurt to call her now and again.

‏Sorry for coming like this, but I have ‏something for Cristi from our mother.

‏How do you say ‏“homemade food” in English?

‏I don't know.

‏Whatever…

‏There's cabbage rolls, cake, beef salad.

‏“Homemade food”, you loser.

‏Oh for God's sake…

‏-How was I supposed to know?

‏Bismillah.

‏Kind of like saying grace.

‏Well, Bismillah then. ‏Have another.

‏Leave it there.

‏Good, no?

‏I don't know…

‏You know better.

‏ I don't know, ‏I leave for work in one hour.

‏Say it in English.

‏Why are you so boring?

‏Why don't you do ‏something nice these days?

‏Take him somewhere nice.

‏Take him to the mountains.

‏Take him to the castles, Bran, Peleș.

‏Oh, come on, Cătălina.

‏Cristi!

‏ ‏How do you say… Four?

‏ ‏Four times?

‏Okay, I'll leave you two.

‏Cristi, please. I swear this is not okay. ‏Why are you acting like this?

‏It's your sister visiting us. ‏What's your problem?

‏Come on.

‏-So what was this about? ‏-What?

‏This whole thing, ‏your visit, your attitude…

‏-What attitude? ‏-Oh, come on…

‏I was nice, he was nice, ‏you're the one with a problem.

‏-I have a problem? ‏-Yes, I was just curious.

‏I wanted to see for myself ‏this phase you're going through.

‏-What phase? ‏-Your gay phase.

‏After I get home tonight, I don't plan ‏on getting out of bed until Monday.

‏I heard the weather's ‏meant to turn bad anyway.

‏Yeah, but you're so old.

‏Oh, I forgot, I can't tomorrow.

‏I'm going to the mountains ‏first thing in the morning.

‏With whom?

‏My girl, her brother and his girl.

‏Can't wait to have some mulled wine ‏when we get there.

‏Are the slopes already open?

‏Yeah, man, it's been snowing ‏for two days, that'll do.

‏How about the roads in those parts? ‏Are they snowed in?

‏Who cares? I'll clear the snow ‏with my bare hands if I have to.

‏Yeah, well, we might just have to do that, ‏the weather's meant to turn bad.

‏Yo, Gym-boy, I think Cristi ‏wants to ask you nicely

‏to take him along.

‏If you behave, maybe I will.

‏He could also take that Mirabela girl… ‏Or whatever her name was.

‏Anca.

‏We don't talk anymore. ‏We broke up.

‏Really?

‏Man, are you incapable ‏of being with a girl?

‏What's wrong with you, ‏do you beat them or what?

‏Why did you break up?

‏Whatever, some bullshit.

‏Why am I never home, ‏why do I work so much,

‏that I'm never there, ‏that sort of stuff.

‏Man, I hate that shit. ‏I don't get it.

‏Mine gets pissy about that stuff too, ‏so I ask her:

‏do you want food on the table, ‏shoes on your feet?

‏Stop talking nonsense, man, ‏it's not the same.

‏It's not like they were living together,

‏he had only known her for… what, ‏two months?

‏Yep.

‏So it's not the same ‏with you and your girl.

‏He's just a moron. Doesn't know ‏how to act around a girl.

‏Listen to me, you call her

‏and tell her “Mirabela…

‏how about coming to the mountains ‏with me and my colleague, Alexandru?”

‏She'll be on her knees, I bet.

‏What am I, stupid? ‏I don't beg.

‏This one will die alone, man.

‏He'll call us to go ‏wipe his ass when he's old.

‏No way, I'm not touching him.

‏And if we have to, ‏we'll just send Claudiu.

‏Claudiu!

‏Don't be such an idiot.

‏-Hey, listen. ‏-What?

‏What do you want?

‏Nothing.

‏-Why are you making fun of him? ‏-Well, well, look who's up.

‏Look out the window, how lovely ‏the city is, cars, manhole covers.

‏Stop pushing into me, move over!

‏-You're a fucking fat-ass, that's why. ‏-Move the fuck over.

‏You're a disgrace to the gendarmerie.

‏Boss, let's take him home, ‏he doesn't fit in the van anymore.

‏Shall I pull over here?

‏Claudiu, your hand ‏is on the gear stick, right?

‏He's closer to the boss, you know.

‏You, as a citizen, ‏are required by law to show us some ID…

‏-Only if I've committed an offence. ‏-Is he under any suspicion?

‏Nobody here is under any suspicion.

‏This is just a procedure ‏we have to follow.

‏You interrupted a screening, ‏people bought a ticket to be here.

‏And you are?

‏The projectionist.

‏I'm going to ask you as well ‏to show my colleague some ID.

‏Of course. ‏I've got nothing to hide.

‏What do you think ‏about this movie you're screening?

‏What do you mean?

‏Well, you're the projectionist and ‏you don't know that this movie is filthy,

‏it shouldn't even be screened.

‏This is a movie with women ‏mating with each other!

‏Let's stay calm, ‏we're not here to review movies.

‏Shame!

‏People bought tickets! ‏People paid for this show.

‏Exactly, for a cheap and dirty show!

‏Easy, please keep your calm.

‏The deputy manager ‏will be here soon.

‏Great, I'd also like to talk to him.

‏You'd better ask those from ‏the Gay Association for some ID as well!

‏Yes, we will.

‏Ma'am, the police will talk to everybody ‏so we can find out what happened here.

‏Yes, we will.

‏Lord, save your people ‏and bless the heritage…

‏Quite the commotion they made here.

‏More or less. ‏They made a fuss, yeah.

‏A few said they're calling the press. ‏And the NGOs just got here.

‏Great.

‏So here's what we should do: ‏ID everyone who's already here

‏and then let them go home.

‏I don't think so.

‏Let's just get it over with, ‏they're already filming.

‏Both the guys with the icons and ‏the ones in skirts, if you get my drift.

‏So let's just send everyone home ‏and that's that.

‏-Weren't you in the mood for a movie? ‏-Oh yeah, I was dying for one.

‏I'll go see what the boys are up to. ‏You'll stay here, right?

‏Where else?

‏I'm going for a piss. ‏Keep an eye on them.

‏Be back in two minutes.

‏Gays out of this country!

‏Can you believe this?

‏I asked for your full name.

‏We've got nothing to hide!

‏We want to know ‏the legal framework.

‏The quicker you show some ID, ‏the faster we get out of there.

‏You interrupted a screening, ‏that's what you did.

‏Why? Who gave you the right?

‏So, what's the offence?

‏How is it not an offence to stop people ‏from watching a movie they paid to see?

‏You know what?

‏The police should find out ‏who this organised group is.

‏Man, what organised group?

‏Please, stay calm.

‏Look at him, a man your age to get ‏involved with the likes of…

‏Aren't you ashamed?

‏You wretched man! ‏That's why God punishes us!

‏Lower your voice, please.

‏I hope you realise that ‏the police need to find out

‏who interrupted the screening. ‏You know that, right?

‏So you have to show them your ID.

‏But why should I give you my ID?

‏I'm a free citizen of this country,

‏I bought a ticket to see a movie.

‏Are you with me so far? Okay.

‏You should ID these fine people ‏who came to chant the national anthem.

‏How about that?

‏You are free to do whatever you want.

‏Exactly. ‏For example, to leave,

‏since the authorities ‏can't handle this situation.
