GIFT OF THE SILVER TONGUE
Yes?
Need something darling?
Yes. I need a bit of your attention.
I can't seem to find the grated cheese I so kindly asked you to buy this morning.
I work all day and I have another job when I come home.
You can't remember one thing that I tell you.
Look. I'm currently writing.
I'm doing this, ok?
And I care about how it will turn out.
You know that.
Anyway, I'm in this creative process and it stalls, then it picks up
it's a creative process. You can't just turn it off and on.
Get your head out of your ass and start doing what I kindly ask you to do.
Ok?
Very kindly...
What was that?
Nothing.
When's dinner?
It's going to be on the table in half an hour.
What a dementor.
So?
The dinner is great.
Thank you darling. I like it.
Congratulations darling.
I've spoken with the school principal today
and arranged you a meeting with him tomorrow.
He promised he would help you.
I know that we've talked about it, but I don't think that's a good idea.
I don't know what's there for you to think.
You're looking for a job? I've found it for you.
You need to go there tomorrow and show that
you're not a moron and that's it. Done deal.
Fine, then I think It's not the smartest thing to do
because then we would see each other in school at work
and then at home, at work, at home...
I don' find that sense of humor of yours attractive at all right now.
It's time for you to get serious.
Me get serious?
What, I haven' been serious?
I finally started getting involved with activities that interest me.
I've started writing again! I'm doing what I wanted!
Activities?
You mean politics?
Those little gatherings of yours where you talk about nothing.
That's just an excuse for you to go out and drink.
Okay, fine. Yes, we drink a little here and there okay. I admit!
But it's good for every new political party that cares about its
reputation to...I don't know, build inter party relationships!
Look…
Pinter is organizing some kind of meeting tonight
and only his closest associates are invited.
I thought you would be glad for me but you immediately attack me!
You're not even aware of the opportunity that I have now…
That guy has brainwashed you all!
Believe me when I say that nothing good will come out of this little hobby of yours.
We don't have to make a drama all of a sudden.
Anyway…I'm going there this evening and tomorrow I can go see the principal.
One does not exclude the other.
I think the extra activities can only help me
with getting some inspiration for the book.
Darling! Hey!
They are fighting for people like us.
Hey...
That kind of endeavor can only help me.
Fine.
I'm going to take a shower and then I'm going to bed.
And you…can finish washing the dishes.
Maybe that activity also gives you a little inspiration.
What do you think?
Good?
You're fine.
I think they will be satisfied with you.
Alen, tonight is your opportunity to shine!
Yes. I know…
You think I look like this by accident?
I've been preparing for this the entire month.
I love it when I look good.
Helps me feel...
Confident.
You are going to be great!
I've prepared a little surprise for you after.
What do you think?
There's a lot of people from the local branch.
Yes there are.
It's important that the journalists see as in large numbers.
What's with you? You seem like you don't want to be here?
C'mon...
You know what…
I've been planning this evening the entire month.
Remember when we were at the pub talking about how
the party is young and fresh and that now's the time
to take the opportunity while young people are involved.
I have a plan.
Yeah, I remember what you were talking in the pub.
The whole time you were drunkenly raving about that girl that came last week.
That girl named Marijana.
You were mentioning that she is young and fresh. DAVID: Shut up! Not that you fool, not that.
Come on, get serious!
Look, I have a plan.
Now is the time to get in good terms with the leadership.
I've got some guidelines for this platform. I plan to present them this evening.
This evening? After the speech?
Wait…there's going to be a soiree after the speech?
Yes, don't worry. It's going to be okay.
But there isn't a soiree planned for this evening…
What soiree?
What are you talking about?
Fuck the soiree!
Listen! Take it easy, calm down.
Everything is going to be okay.
Thank you all for coming tonight and thank you for your patience.
It is my honor and privilege to announce our party leader
Mr. Alen Pinter.
Dear friends, thank you for this warm welcome.
As you know...the elections are near
and now is the time we must stand united so we can achieve are visions.
I know and I am aware that many of our political opponents
are often stunned by the rapid changes we are making in our party.
But that is irrelevant
because we will not be suppressed by their short minded ideas…
ALEN PINTER: Each member and opinion are equally important... FRIEND: Same speech as usual.
…especially in large city organizations like this one.
Now you will have the opportunity to ask questions.
Was I good? They were looking at me like I was Jesus.
Come on, pick a few of them so we can finish up as soon as we can.
There's always a zealous smart ass that thinks he knows everything.
Come on.
Fine. I'll find you someone easy to deal with.
Go ahead Sir!
Tha...Thank you. Thank you.
My question is more of a commentary.
I wish to address the first point of the daily agenda, I mean, the party platform.
The things you talk about: progress and development...
I think in fact that there are a lot of inconsistencies...
It isn't being addressed what specifically should be done.
I have a few ideas for instance…
You pointed out some very interesting views.
We've talked about that already and I feel that further
highlighting of those problems is not necessary.
Namely, the development of our goals which we already established
automatically entices the development the advanced goals of which you talk.
There, I hope that I have answered your question precisely.
No, you didn't seem to understand me correctly.
Just a moment…I just want to talk about the platform
about the first part you talked about… in fact there are gaps…
Dear colleague, your views are very backward.
We are a progressive party looking towards the future
and to administering already defined prospects.
The things you advocate are archaic and dangerous.
Changes, colleague, changes and looking towards the future are our goals!
No, no. Wait, you didn't understand me.
DAVID: Actually I meant to say… ASSISTANT: Sir,
please be seated so others could get a chance.
Thank you.
If your plan was to publicly humiliate yourself…you sure managed to do it.
You know what…I'm getting cold.
Let's go for a drink?
Let's go warm ourselves, let's go drink. Come on!
Wait…I drove here.
So what? You'll leave it here and come back for it tomorrow.
Come on! Go with me! Listen...you need it. Come on!
Look, the guy acted like an asshole…
Although I don't get it why you're so fascinated with him...
''Be there where we...... in half an hour! Don't draw... ...attention to yourself''
These elections. A lot of things will change.
We' ll have an opportunity to do something big you know?
We?
Well yeah.
I'm not going anywhere without you.
You bring me luck.
But we'll be facing difficult decisions.
Nobody said it was going to be easy.
I have to tell you something.
It's important that you know.
Tell me...
Small political parties tried to accomplish something even before us. But...
nobody ever managed to change something significant.
What's that got to do with us?
You always said those mediocrities aren't in the same league as us.
They aren't!
But it's more complicated than that.
I didn't want to end up as them.
Before you came along...
I was offered help.
And you know that, in politics, any sort of help...
sooner or later must be paid back.
What sort of help?
The sort of help you don't refuse!
The sort of help...
...that makes the difference between a political
bizarreness and a successful political career!
That sort of help.
Hey buddy!
WAITER: Yes?
Give me another one…
Double. A double one.
Will you be able to get home looking like that?
Why didn't you go with your friend?
Fuck...him. He goes when his girl calls him. Me...
I go when I want!
Sure pal. Here's your round.
Fuck it.
I…bye!
WAITER: Bye pal!
See you...
WAITER: Take it easy!
Did you watch? I said everything you told me to.
Is the boss satisfied?
Hello to you to!
He didn't mention anything so I think he is, and that's pretty good.
Here's the rest like we arranged…
Yeah, yeah...go ahead and count it.
We threw in a little extra.
Buy yourself a new suit and don't spend it all in one place okay?
We put large bills.
Thank god for euros, easier to carry. But I miss deutsche marks you know?
They had something special, they had spirit.
Sure...
When will I get instructions what to do next?
And...
When could I have a sit-down with the boss?
I just wish to go over some things with him. Just to be sure everything goes as planned.
There's a lot at stake.
Look, you're still new at this.
We have to be careful you know?
You're intriguing to a lot of people now. So, you know, what if somebody is following you?
You think somebody is following me?
It wouldn't be the first time.
Journalists love a good story. God damn scavengers!
In the past we would just put them in the trunk, drive them around the city and brake their cameras.
It's getting more difficult today you know? Everything is more difficult. The fucking Internet!
Just imagine what would happen if one of them released a recording
or a photo of you and the ex-prime minister socializing?
That wouldn't be good.
No, no.. it would be far from good.
The leftists would get a freebie. Why give them that? Why?
You said it yourself that you were rotting in the youth movement there.
You were nothing, a nobody!
They have only themselves to blame for not recognizing your talent.
You're part of the big scene now! Remember who made that possible for you. Don't you ever forget it!
I know. I know. I didn't mean to seem ungrateful.
Come on now. You did good tonight! I'm proud of you.
Everything is going to be okay as soon as the elections are over. You'll get everything as promised. Deal?
It started…they are waiting for me down there.
What the fuck…un…untie me!
Look around you.
Nobody can hear you here.
Nobody can see you here.
Nobody even knows you're here.
You know what...
We can make a deal?
A deal?
Yeah. Tell me what you want? We'll arrange everything. DAVID: You want to make a deal? You want to arrange something?
What do you want to arrange? Arrange what?
Well I've seen how you make deals and arrange things.
I trusted you.
I thought you were one of the good ones.
Look at yourself.
You...you got it all wrong. Untie me, I'll explain everything.
I...I got it wrong?
Yes, yes! Untie me. I'll explain it all, it's not what you think.
Just a moment...just a moment. Shut up.
I don't have to listen anything you have to say.
What…?
It's over.
You, you got it wrong, No, no, please don't…don't!
SHUT UP!!!
When did you arrive last night!?
David, please! Don't forget about the meeting with the school principle today. You have a lunch arrangement.
Thank you darling.
