Dad?

Not there!

Again! - I swear in the name of the Republic of Bulgaria to...

Mum, Dad doesn't know his words. - I do!

I'm just a little tense. I haven't sworn a Mayor's oath till now.

Yordan, the oath shouldn't be told by heart. You only repeat the words.

Hey!

Where is Andrey? - At job interviews. But he said he'd come tomorrow to shoot the ceremony.

That's right! So that our grandchildren can see and be proud of us.

I'll sell this gay and he won't see me anymore!

He can hit me then!

TOO MANY SOFIANS

Give me some Turkish delight!

Mima, you wanted to tell us something, didn't you? Go ahead!

Rangel, something to drink? - I've been robbed.

We're broke.

I made a list with all the firms. The signed contracts are inside.

You're better than my own son.

How are we ever going to repay you, Dimo?!... In such hard times...

There's no need. - Mima, come on, speak up!

I want to tell you that...

there are... times when...

one goes against their family...

and...

Dad, I want you to bring Radko back home!

Oh, my heart! - Have some Turkish delight and it will be OK!

We even buried a person and still it was calmer. Now it's so stressful.

Bravo, great photos!

Exposure, composition - all good.

Let me just take a look at your CV. You worked at... - Adventure. - Yes, Adventure.

It's just that so far you've been shooting animals, whereas now you'll have to shoot politics, VIP people...

What's the difference?

OK... Let's do this:

30 levs for a published photo. Is that OK?

Isn't that a bit too little? - Our country is not big either.

Why would you need more in Bulgaria after all?! - Fine, but 30 levs...

We can't do it otherwise; the calculations won't add up. You know it's a crisis everywhere.

Think about the money, I'll think about it too, and

if there's a free spot, I'll call you first. OK?

Hey, Dimo, how are you? Please, come in. Long time, no see!

I come here to ask for a favor. - But, of course! You've helped us, now we'll help you.

I want to invest 80 000 levs into a bank deposit and withdraw a cash credit for the same amount.

Does the money have an origin?

The money has a commission.

So, you want this money legal. - That's important.

You know I don't do such things in general.

But... - Thank you! - How are you, otherwise?

Well, I'm good. I'm getting married. - I'm very happy to hear! Congratulations! Lots of luck!

Pig!

Good afternoon! May I?

Ah, Zhelyazko?

The Caesar, right?

I'm from Izvor.

Radoslav Chekanov, Radul's grandson.

Take a seat!

You've grown up so big! - Ah, yes.

Your Grandpa - may he rest in peace - was a great man.

Don't worry, you're safe here. Your Grandpa and I were very close.

Where do you have these from?

Grandpa left them.

They are not so rare. Trajan Decius. A lot of these are found.

400 leva for both.

What?!... In France they cost at least double!

You can take them to France yourself, if you'd like. - OK, OK.

400 then it is.

Is that what the museum is paying?

The museum...

doesn't pay anything.

Yes, ok. I only want to ask you something: what does this mean?

Where do you have this from? - Well... from Grandpa...

This is Trajan Decius too. It's a very famous inscription. It's on a huge statue in Rome.

The Emperor raised it in Palikuros' honor.

Pali- who?

His lover.

Ah, Chekanov! Will you please wait for me for a second? We have a bit more work to do.

Excuse us for a moment!

You look tired. Coffee?

I heard about the elections. It was a big surprise.

Nevermind. You can try again in 4 years.

Time flies fast.

The delivery contract for heating supplies for the municipality buildings.

You signed it. - Yes.

Why did you take so long?

I've done my part.

That's a very good job, Mr. Chekanov.

So... - We'll do our best too.

So? - So...

The heating supplies will be there on time.

Well... - Well, that's it.

Once again, thank you very much! You've done a great job!

But...

Kristina, would you please see Mr. Chekanov off?

The Emperor loved him very much and put a statue of him everywhere he went.

They all contain the same poem as an inscription.

Right...

Here it is: Palikuros. Hoc monumentum exegi in nomine tuo...

And so on. Translation: Palikuros, I raised this monument in your name,

so that the Republic can remember you after me. And so it's known that before you, my dear,

and not before my enemy, I fell defeated. - I knew it that this statue is a gay!

Which statue?

Ah, no, no... This...

What a name - Palikuros!

In ancient Greek "kuros" means a statue of a young athlete.

But this is not golden.

The golden ones are put only in the Emperors' palaces.

Unbelievable! And I thought being gay is a recent fashion.

Ah, how much can one gay cost?

Hypothetically.

They don't have a price. Probably millions.

Why are you so interested?

Grandpa was always talking about Decius, that's why...

Has he found something? - Ah, no!

Well, OK. I'll be going.

Wait, I'll see you off.

I haven't worked for a yellow magazine so far.

I worked in Adventure.

Who knows about this magazine? - It's one of the best magazines.

If it's one of the best, why did you leave?

Ah!

This is something else. - What is?

The chick. - A portrait photo.

Who's talking about the portrait photo?! Do you know the chick?

Yes, I know her. - Is she a model? I haven't seen her so far.

No, she's not a model. - Doesn't she want to be?

Why haven't you taken more photos of her body? - Of her body?

Thank you for your time!

Wait! Are you going to talk to this chick or not?

Why do you work in the museum, when you've found so many things yourself?

I give it all to the museum.

Don't touch!

Is this thing cheaper when it's missing the head?

This is... at least... 100-200 years old.

1st century B.C.

I will glue it.

I will glue it!

Gluing will cost you 400 levs.

You're lucky that the original went abroad. Or else I had to take your house too.

Go now!

And if you find something, I have the best price.

What are you doing here without me?

I wanted to check if they had the same gay as ours. - They don't have it anywhere. Is that why you stole the Latin text from me?

Tell me why you're here!

Wait, wait, Spas! I'll tell you everything.

I'll tell you everything.

Let's get out of here.

Mima, how are you?

I have one bad and many good pieces of news. Which shall I start with?

With the bad one. - I couldn't buy tickets for Sting, they're all sold out.

But Ivo said he'd go and record the whole concert with his mobile. So we will still see it. For free.

It's not the same.

Now the good news:

I left the Municipality and took a bank credit. I will help your father and your whole family. We're starting a new life!

A credit?

How are we going to pay this money back? - Your parents are not paying it back. I will manage.

I'm starting at my uncle's Accounting firm, aren't I? - I don't know... I'm worried.

Maria: Where are you? I miss you!

I have another surprise.

I bought it for us. I want our children to see our love story one day.

Kids, this is your Mum, who is still not pregnant, but soon...

Get this camera away! - Ah, Mum is not happy.

Why aren't you happy, Mum? Smile to the kids! - Turn it off!

Did I do something bad?

No, it's not you.

Tell me if I offended you with something.

No, you haven't! Please, I don't want to discuss it now.

I received the bill.

Kids, your Mum is the only person who smiles when she receives a bill.

Wave to us, Mum!

Out of tickets for Sting!

Good afternoon! You don't have any more Sting tickets? - No, Mister, we don't.

Isn't there something we can do? - No, Mister.

Listen...

how can I explain this: I'm in a very delicate situation and my back is against the wall.

I told you, Mister: There are no more tickets for Sting! - No more.

Absolutely... no more tickets.

Listen to me: Take a look at that girl over there.

Take a look. - And?

She's leaving for good. And I'm never going to see her again.

But she is...

She loves Sting and I want to give this present to her. This wonderful experience. I'm begging you!

You're my last hope! If you could look through my eyes only for a moment...

I could give you my tickets, but my husband would kill me.

300 levs.

I can't thank you enough! Good-bye! All the best!

2 tickets for Philip Koutev.

Pronto, Marcello Izvor?

Is that Mr. Andreu calling from Australia? - Si.

I would like to formally invite the Principessa from the neighbor's court to join me for one grand spectacle.
