The Angels
A huge room, filled with white PC monitors on which
angels with wings type phrenetically. From time to time, at irregular periods of time, they faint, one
after another pulling reminiscent sounds of asphyxiation, but
almost instantly, appear the
vigilant volunteer angels who clear the area and place
immediately, others on the spare chairs, fresh substitutes who take the relay
along the way. In one corner, on a small improvised podium,a
trio formed out of a quartet of five soloists without wings try to animate the
dull atmosphere with refined Sicilian opera music.
Scene

Scooby.
Pitbull: Stooop! Let me puff as well, Scooby! Did u think I wasn’t counting? I counted, so you
know… You already took four long puffs. Sharp.
Scooby: Wtf
did u say, Pitbull?
Pitbull: For
u to leave me at least one puff, u sweet Scrooge. We
all paid for it.
Right?
Scooby: Not this, before this...
Pitbull: “Stooop!” That’s wht I said.Tht
is everything I said.
Scooby: Squeeze
ur brain again… What did u say, u
lil Pitbull, about the Romanian teacher?!
Pitbull: About
that woman, who wiggles her ass and has long legs, the
new one, who has hooked up with the bald guy, the
executive manager? What did I say?I
said that...
Scooby: Zipp it! No impressions! Don’t
say anything which is not verified, u, “left handed”, or I will break ur horse
teeth with this cheap keyboard. She hasn’t hooked up with any executive manager,
she hasn’t hooked up with anybody. Is that clear? I checked and rechecked. If u
say another stupid word about her, I will put ur head in the loo immediately
and flush until I will clean ur brain of dirt, of impressions. U Dada follower!
Pitbull: Don’t swear at me, u hear
that? Don’t swear at me!
Cocuţa: Stop it, both of u, stop it!
Wht is going on? Are the hormones running wild inside of u? U, Scooby, u really are wicked. Have
u gone mad?! Wht’s ur problem with the man? What got into u so suddenly?! Stop
it, u, stop it, leave him alone! Why do u light up like a firefly? He just said
so, without being sure. He offered an uncertainty, not a certainty... Did u
become stupid? Do u not get jokes anymore? If u
want, so that u know, we will split up the gang immediately.
Because I do not like this sort of cheap things… And u, on which side, are u? On Ana-Banana’s? On that skinny lassie’s side
who talks from the tip of her lips and writes down marks with her left hand? On
the purblind’s,
on the precious one’s side who did not let u pass the class, u who have been an
Olympic student for three years in a row? I do
not want to hear another word bro, about ur farter old ladies, about
this vain Virginia of urs!
Scooby: Remember this! She did not
let me pass the class because, I was too dear to her, losers, let this be clear to you! Cheap
theatre! What did u not understand? What did u think?
Pause.
Scooby
(warm blooded): As
soon as I finish highschool, I will marry Lorena. We
already checked our blood groups. They are perfectly
compatible. End of story. With papers, y’all, not anyway! With papers! We
will have the honey moon in the Danube Delta, on
a green floating island, in a tent... That is where u will
see the real Olympic act, that is where we will all see who is the teacher and
who is the top pupil…
Cocuţa: Being among fishing poles,
mosquitoes and ticks.
I’m gonna puke. Just leave it, leave it! Thanx for enlightening us. When u r going
to get another idea like this one, give me a hint. A small hint.
Pitbull: Oi’, Scooby, u are not
stupid in vain. Why do you want to tie the knot with “Mrs.” Lorena if u are ok
like this?! Give me a break! If u
still want to go in the swinging boats, take the booby Ramona from class B,
take Alina from class C, take the Radu twins from class F, take one by one the entire
boarding school, because the cows with glittery heels are already mad about u, the
communal bull with laurels... (coming back)
And the poor girl,
does she know this, did she find out anything about this impossible
combination?
Scooby: She will find out,
fat guy, at the right time. Do u want to get her out from teaching?
I am certain that she loves me as well, but her position does not let her
reveal it. Yes, everything happens at the right time. Believe me, I know more
about women than all of u together. If u saw her how she starts tremblening as
if she has the Parkinson disease whenever she sends me to the blackboard… and
lately she does that a lot, I stand more at the blackboard than she does when
she is teaching… This is all I
have to say to you: do not mess with
my woman because next time I will break your face, do u
understand? (a timid knock at the door, the ones from
the room double back in a sec)
Scooby’s
Mother (stands in the opening of the door): Can I come in,
children?
Pitbull and Cocuţa: Hello, Miss, Scooby’s Mother!
Scooby’s
Mother: Why did you leave the window open, dear? The whole smoke from downstairs gets inside here.
Are you not cold?
Scooby: Our
dear synapses get heated up, Mrs. Georgescu. Leave it like this, if u don’t
want me to turn bad!
Scooby’s
Mother:
But...
Scooby
(tough): Come in once and for all,
woman! I told you,I pointed out to u not to bother us until we have finished to
solve this problem.You are messing wif our calculations.
Scooby’s
Mother: Sorry,
Martian. I will leave immediately.I
brought you some plum jam and a glass of cold water. I
will bring the handker...
Scooby: Put
them on the desk. Get out!
Pitbull and Cocuţa: Goodbye, miss, Scooby’s Mother!
Scooby’s
Mother: Excuse me. Eat
that. I am going to bring and...
Scooby: That is enough. Maybe u have
stuff to do and I’m keeping u from it... If u keep moving
around u will make us lose, all our ideas, especially
the precious ones.Where do u want us to do our homework,
at the ice skating rink? Tomorrow we have thesis, do u understand?
Scooby’s
Mother: Sorry. (she
gets out immediately)
Pitbull: Do u think she figured out
anything?
Scooby: Mrs.
Georgescu? Come on, she knows nothing about smoke, other things are her sins...
Did u not see the peasants from the ground floor who singed the two hundred
kilograms pig in the yard of the block of flats with an old synthetic tire? That’s
the real smoke, not Indian poetry like here. They do it on purpose, goiters, because
they also have a villa at the countryside very close to the town, because they
want to see all their neighbours how
they choke at the windows with their own saliva…
Cocuţa
(nostalgic): Do not say another word, because
I think instantly of Pork rind, Pork fest, pickles and steamy polenta… When I
was lil, my parents used to put me to ride the stabbed pig which was still
steamy and they gave me to eat the fresh cleaned tail with the bayonet and which
was also rolled in salt.
Pitbull:Shut up, girl,I think I’m
going to throw up.
Cocuţa: They
were handling poor them the situation how they could, to make us happy,
they gave us what they had, because, back in the days, the McDonald’s was not
yet invented in our country… U should hear, how stupid she can be, how
stupid my sister Rita is, yeah how stupid! She
doesn’t even resemble me. Sometimes I think that maybe she really is adopted, because
of that she doesn’t even visit us anymore, because my parents didn’t buy her a
stainless steel fridge with two doors and a water spring, that one which is
really high up to the ceiling, because they didn’t want to be in debt anymore, with
the banks.
Pitbull: Or
maybe u are the adopted one… Did u ever ask urself that, darling?
Scooby: Leave me alone! I am really
watching the series. What did she do now?
Pitbull: Shock us!
Cocuţa: She made, she has made a facebook account for the lil one. To
rofl not something else.
Pitbull: She gave birth?! I didn’t know she gave birth.
Cocuţa: That’s
the sketch she did not give birth yet,she has 4 or 5 months more until she
does,but she made a facebook account for her baby,in a preventive way, just to
be there, her spot to be ocuppied. You don’t know my sis,
she is the spitting image of my dad. When something gets in her head, that is
it.Twice a hacker deleted the profile, but she didn’t give up… She already put
at the avatar the x-ray with the small one in position… It already has 2.349 friends and another 1.000
friend requests to which she was not able yet to respond.
Scooby: So cool! Born or unborn?
Pitbull: Seriously? I only have 721,
from which to 700 I almost begged for their friendship! Even my parents they
are not related with me anymore, they are my friends.
Cocuţa: This
is because the world already knows who you are, because you are an out of date salami.
Pitbull: Wht?! (a shy knocking at the door)
Scooby
(iritated): DND! DND! DND!
Pitbull: What’s
the deal with your mother?! Did u go crazy?! Why do you rush her like that? She
looks like a nice woman. Good, as the bread of God. If I talked with my parents
like that… (he caresses his cheek
unvoluntarily)
Scooby: What do u hav to do, “left
handed”, with my “family”?
Pitbull: Nothing, Scooby, but it is
not nice u know, it is still your biological mom,the one who gave life to u and
who carried u like a stone in her belly. Blood of her blood, flesh of her
flesh, milk of her milk.
Cocuţa: Mistake
of her mistakes!
Scooby: Hm! She
didn’t have milk because she is barren.A bigger one pumped her out earlier. I
was fed with Robebi and Milupa… „La maman et la putain!“
Cocuţa: Whaat?! We smoked as well,
but we did not smoke our brains. Did u take anything else before? Tell us, did u
take anything else before? How many other did you smoke? The guy from the
“flowershop” warned us not to mix them with anything else, because otherwise we
will be fucked.
Scooby: „La maman et la putain!“
Cocuţa: Shut up! I didn’t go red
for a long time, since my bra straps got ripped at the PE class. I’m sick of
the stupid things u say.
Scooby: „La maman et la putain!“
„La maman et la putain!“
„La maman et la putain!“
Pitbull: Stop it, Scooby! Are u
stupid or stupid-stupid?!
Scooby
(yells and dances grotesque): „La maman et la putain!“
„La maman et la putain!“
Cocuţa: Stop it, u,with ur idiotic
jokes! Out! That’s it, I’m done with
the circus! I’m not coming anymore around here! (she stands on her feet so she can leave)
Scooby: Sit down! Out of here,
nobody leaves with questions! Sit down!!! Sit down!!! Maman, I know u heard everything, come in!
Pitbull and Cocuţa: We kiss your hand, mam, Scooby’s mom!
Scooby’s
Mother:
Sorry.I made some nescafe with coke.
Scooby: Sit down here on the
armchair. Here, Mrs. Georgescu. Isn’t it right that u didn’t hear anything?
Scooby’s
Mother (false): What should I have heard?!
Scooby: “Wisdom
of the Earth”!... „La maman et la putain!“ „La maman et la putain!“
Scooby’s
Mother (puts her hands over her ears): Why do you humiliate me,
Martian? What will your friends think of me?
Scooby: They
won’t think anything. They will find out. They will figure it out with the help
of ur confessions filled with remorse. It was ur fault that my dad committed
suicide when u ran away with his best friend, with Mr. Rǎdulescu from the forth
floor, to caress each other without anyone seeing you at Caransebeş… it wasn’t enough for u anymore dad’s
tool…
Scooby’s
Mother:
Shut up, Martian, it is not true! Who put inside your head this nonsense?! Only
the bitch of your grandmother, because her son didn’t get married with who she
wanted… Everything was a stupid accident, get this inside your head, all this
rude nonsense, because she did not like me from the start, he slipped in front
of the escalator… This was the conclusion of the prosecution as well. I
suffered enough because of gossips. You kill me… Stop it, Martian, stop it
already!
Scooby
(sadistic): Why
did u leave me , u bitch,without a father? Why? Swear, that it wasn’t like
this, swear it!
Pause.
Scooby: „La maman et la putain!“
„La maman et la putain!“
Scooby’s
Mother (wiping some invisible tears): You were too small. How
would you have known what happened inside my heart? You have nowhere to get the
truth out from. The entire truth.
Scooby: Tell
this truth of urs here to everybody! To finish with this once and for all!
Pause.
Scooby’s
Mother (bursts): Is
this your payoff, Martian?! Nice! Nice!!! That is why I pay your internet every
month 1 million and I walk around with holes in my shoes, for you to name me
like that?! That is why I gave away my part of inheritance for, to get the most
advanced PC of them all, the latest phone, for you to what?! For you not to be
behind everybody and that all the pupils
with money who have to go for a second examination won’t laugh of you, for you
to have your own thing, for you to be able to research for the Olympics without
being in need to beg to others! That is where all your idiotic ideas come from,
from Facebook! Yes, yes! I hope the guy who invented it burns in hell! Starting
tomorrow, goodbye cable,goodbye Premium bundle!
Scooby: I don’t
give a shit! It has been stated, maman, that u can live without Facebook and
without internet, nobody died because of that, so u know. A bow with arrows is
enough… All the boys from my class played foottie with their dads, drank their
first beer with their dads, went fishing together with their dads, only I
didn’t, no, no, no, no; why not me as well, why? Why did u not remain
Mrs.Georgescu with fucked up charming Mr. Rǎdulescu there, in the shack filled
with dampness from Caransebes and I to be left alone with my dad? Why?...
Because of what?
Scooby’s
Mother (stands on her feet): God
forbid for you to love sometime someone and that someone not give a shit about
your love, God forbid, Martian! I loved him like the holy Sun, that is why I
ran after him! To me, Mr. Rǎdulescu was my half… That is what you wanted to
hear, isn’t it?! I loved him!!! I loved him!!! I loved him so much! I still
love him a lot now as well! I gave up my dignity for him,my dignity. If he made
only a sign,a single snap of fingers, even now I would be ready to give up
everything and go after him on the peak Omu, to the end of earth, to go all
length… Why is it so hard to understand?! It doesn’t matter that he never loved
me for a minute, that he did not give a shit about my pure love and played
games with it! It doesn’t matter at all! At all!... What, don’t I have the
right as well to be happy, only those duck lips who show up on tv? Only
others?! What,don’t I have the right to love somebody with all my heart?! Don’t
I?! Don’t I?! Where does it say this? Where, where, Martian? (cries involuntary with real tears)

The Angels.
A huge room filled with white pc monitors on which
angels with wings type phrenetically. From time to time, at irregular periods
of time, they faint one after another
pulling reminiscent sounds of asphyxiation, but almost instantly, appear
the vigilant volunteer angels who clear
the area and place immediately
others on the spare
chairs, fresh substitutes who take the relay along the way. In one corner,on a
small improvised podium,a trio formed out of a quartet of five soloists without
wings try to animate the dull atmosphere with refined Sicilian opera music.

Cocuţa.
Dark
Angel ‘57: R
u a virgo, Sailor Moon? R u sure u r a virgo?
Cocuţa: Relax, gringo! Giv
me a valid email address and I will send u the signed and sealed certificate of
an attending physician and a gynecologist; I also hav a video of the
consultation, if u hav any other doubts…Okay?
Dark
Angel ‘57: Fuck! Fuck!
Fuck! Fuck! Sure? Sure??? Extraordinary,u really r a virgo at 16 years old?! Oh, my God, oh, my God! (splashes) Wht a bargain!I think u r the only real virgo I met on Facebook!
Really?! If u
only knew how much I looked for u... Tht’s it,
it’s checked. It was missing from my collection, precisely one from south-east…
I thought, I was convinced that, in all Europe, only the snotty ones from kindergarten
are still virgos... Good morning, Budapest! Good morning! What a relief that in Romania people still care about
customs, the good customs.
Give me your cam, Sailor Moon! ;)!
Cocuţa: Too soon. Out of nothing, everybody
wants the cam. Your bank account and plane tickets first. Easy! Why r u such in a hurry,
Dark Angel ‘57? Hello! U
don’t know how to write,
my friend; people don’t study
there anymore? Did ur fingers get stuck on the bottle of whiskey?
U only know how to use, how to
grind your lil fingers in a totally different place?
Let’s
take it easy.Let’s take it methodical. Tell
me how u look like, Dark Angel
‘57? Do u have horns with
pompons? I figured out tht about money there is no point in
talking about, once you agreed to go
with me over the chat. U
read the conditions, the age of the buyer is not a major
problem for me; so that you
know, I accept until 70, I
said that as well in the add,
much older I don’t, no, because I’m not a
necrophiliac...
You know that the auction starts from 25.000, that
is for there won’t be any problem with the other clients, that
is for u not to make me waste my time... All that go with me
over the chat, are presumned to be interested to bid generously. You
saw aready of course the significant gallery of nude pics.I’m
waitng for u to outbid.
Dark Angel ‘57: Which
gallery of nude pics?!
The
voice of a woman from the next room: Cocuţaaa... Cocuţaaa...
Dark
Angel ’57 (out of phase): Not
there where you are thinking about, pussy... Relax. Relax. Like an unhappy man, Sailor Moon, like a man.
Cocuţa: Hahaha
:)))))! Hard to believe after ur ravishing nickname. Do u go to the gym?
Dark
Angel ‘57: Hello! This nickname is just a prelude, pusy. How do u like to eat ur icecream? With
or without whipped cream?...
You?
Cocuţa
(avoiding): Marilyn Monroe reincarnated, isn’t that clear to u, man? With a small difference regarding her: I
have a small size to my shoes and a big one to my bra. Do u
know what they say about those peasant nympho girls who have big feet...Let me guess, do u somehow
have a big nose?
Dark
Angel ‘57: Enough... Huge boss, huge nose! Enormous, baby! Enormous! Why, are you scared? Penetration is not such a painful thing as those idiotic books say. (out of phase) Somewhat... That’s
odd, after the avatar pic and the cover one, I wouldn’t say that u look like Marilyn Monroe, more like Nana Mouskouri.
Cocuţa: What is so difficult to
understand? I only impersonated a character, Dark Angel, a simple character,
exactly like a model who provides a service.U did not want me to show myself
exctly as I look in real life, with the dark red uniform from school and to
risk of being expelled from all the colleges, to be excommunicated by the
Romanian Orthodox church, to be pointed at by all the old ladies with the
finger as the whore who negociated her virginity over the internet and all that.
I thought you understood, man, that
Romania cannot be, that Romania is not America, but it isn’t Africa as well, don’t
take the will for the deed, don’t take at all the will for the deed.
The
voice of a woman from the next room: Cocuţaaa... Cocuţaaa... It
burns… I cannot take it anymore… It’s burning me... I’m
thirsty... Call the ambulance...
Cocuţa: It’s
not coming anymore, grandma, no ambulance, I
am the ambulance; u know what the doctors said when they discharged u… Rest, rest &
again rest, this is the only remedy, if
you want to get better.
The
voice of a woman from the next room: Give
me another shot of morphine...
please... only
one... Cocuţa... Cocuţaaa...
Cocuţa: I
already gave u three since this morning, do u want to end up dead? Be quiet, try to fall asleep! (coming back to Dark Angel ’57,
faking the interest) Don’t u
like Nana Mouskouri?...
Aquiline nose?
Dark
Angel ‘57: A lil bit too chicky... “ Lecherous” does it say anything to you? I’m already horny, why
don’t u want to send me the cam, pussy?
Please! Please!... Why
r u such a bad girl, why don’t u want to?
Cocuţa: Because
I don’t want u to splash me because of too much heath, because
I put my lace umbrella in the drawer to feed the moth divisions stationed there... There
is no reason for me to do it, why don’t u want to understand, why
is it so hard to understand? If I had a reason, I
wouldn’t be here today talking to u, but to Brad Pitt… The nude pics aren’t enough for u?
Dark
Angel ‘57: What
sort of joke is that? Which nude pics, Sailor Moon, which nude pics?! I am
already super horny, I am about to explode, I am
about to fill all the Milky Way
with my manhood, the entire galaxy…MILKY WAY, I’m
gonna erupt!!!... I’m gonna erupt!!!...I
would have preferred, however, beside the one in which the doctors search u through
like a piece of meat, a lil video in which u do a bit of
gymnastics like Nadia Comăneci in the floor exercise… (gasps strange) I love you Romania!!!... I love you Romania!!!... Good Afternoon, Budapest!
Cocuţa: Ha-ha! If u loved it like u said, u wouldn’t have jumped on
it like a horny goat, u wouldn’t have put ur tool inside it, since the first
second. What can I say, u
luv it, my ass,
u don’t even know its capital...
My country
doesn’t need sex, my friend, because of that it have had enough, it never
lacked that, because everybody offered themselves, some more than the others; it
needs luv, man. Luv, luv, luv! All u need is luv!... To
luv someone first u need to know him/her. This
is the zero point. This
is the G point… What do u know, Dark Angel, about
Romania?
Dark
Angel ’57 (with an accent): G Point?!
Fuck! Fuck! Everything baby,
everything,
absolutly everything: palinca,
Gipsy Kings, Nadia Comăneci, Ilie Năstase, Dracula, Hagi,
Alexandra Stan, Soros, whip shit!
I also know that, after the Russian women, the Romanian
ones are the most beautiful ones from the world.
Cocuţa: Ha! And our primary product
for export, man. What will it be for
us to stop pretending, “Lucifer”. Without this Romanian women which u like so
much to talk about, ur upside down ass world would look exactly, but exactly
how it already is. Big, ugly, vibrant and stinky… Let me be! What, u did not
know?!... U have it,right?U have it or u don’t? Are
we doing the business?
Dark
Angel ‘57: We are doing it. I wouldn’t risk for anything in the world to lose a
virgin meat like urs. I heard that Romanian girls are very gd in bed,
much better than the Russian ones. Number
one! I have to check on my own the missile
defence shield, all the strategic positions, all these statements which came
from unverified sources.
Cocuţa: O-ho-ho, Lucifer! The
stake is gonna be risen. Are u bidding or what? How much?
Dark
Angel ‘57: How old did u say u were?
Cocuţa: Isn’t
it written there?! 16 years old!!! You won’t risk to go
to jail, because it is with my express
approval. I will state that even in writting, at the notary. Do u
want my bank account details?
Dark
Angel ’57 (out of phase): Yes, but
I would have preferred to hear it from u, like real talking,
Sailor Moon. You are a bit expensive when it comes to talking, for
the money u ask. Time is money, pussy!
Cocuţa:It is just an impression. Time is life,
dick!
The
voice of a woman from the next room: Bring
me a glass of water, Cocuţa... I
cannot take it anymore… I’m thirsty... it burns a lot...
Cocuţa: (covering the microphone) I already gave u that, 10 mins ago. U
already drank two barrels. Do u want to piss yourself again like an artificial
water fountain up to the pendant lamp? (screams)
You drive me crazy. The priest is gonna sing
to me first Cucurrucucu-Cucurrucucu. All of your things,
all of them, are out on the dryer, grandma, all of them, believe me. There are no money left for the pampers… I
don’t have any clothes to change u again!
The
voice of a woman from the next room: You
don’t love me… Call Mircea, he will understand me… he will bring me water…
Cocuţa
(making an effort to control hesrself): Grandma, I explained to u a
million times now, uncle Mircea died three year ago in Irak. U were the one who
even prepared the coliva for the funeral. Do an effort of imagination, for u
not to lose all contact with reality … Look, drink, please, this cup of tea. Like
the doctors recommended to u: tea. Tea, tea, tea, from Mihai’s garden!
The
voice of a woman from the next room: It’s bitter, I don’t like
it. Brrr! I know you want to poison me, to get rid of me once and for all and
to fool around with all the punks… Waterrr!!!
Cocuţa: Why
do u wrong me, grandma? U already know that u are the only remaining dearest
relative… Why r u acting crazy? Why?
Dark
Angel ‘57:
Hello! Hello!
The
voice of a woman from the next room: You are an evil girl! You
bitch! You talk all day, like a skank, with all the punks who giggle on your
small tv, which you carry in your purse and you don’t give a damn to bring me a
glass of water while I’m lying in bed...
Cocuţa: I work! I work, I don’t
mess around like others! In this house someone has to work. U don’t help me
with anything. With anything. I want to save some money for ur surgery from
Vienna, don’t u understand?
The
voice of a woman from the next room: You are really fucked up, Cocuţo,but
really bad, who do you resemble with… How long I was healthy, I wasn’t able to
go further than Giurgiu; and now, when I am about to die, one like me won’t get
to see foreign lands… Where are you going to get those big bags of money for
the surgery?! Because no one today gives you anything for nothing… Water... It burns so much... I cannot take it anymore... Jesus Christ and
Holy Mary, help me to die faster, don’t
let me suffer, don’t let me make anyone else suffer!... God!... Cocuţaaa,
lift my pillow...
let’s go to the seaside, at Nǎvodari, like we used to,
when you were little; there is so much water, there is so much chill…
Dark
Angel ‘57:
Hello! Hello!
Sailor Moon?! Wht r u doing? R u still there?
Cocuţa: We’re gonna go, why not, wait
for the satellite to land on our block of flats…
Dark
Angel ‘57: I have the impression that u are talking at the same
time with someone else.
Cocuţa: I am
glad that you noticed that… U think u are the only one who is interested?
Dark
Angel ‘57: Okay! Okay!
Tell me, wouldn’t u want better for us to get married,
wouldn’t that tempt u?
Cocuţa: What
then for u to fuck me for free and then kick me in the ass? Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah! Where
did that come from?! I’m not interested. What
sort of business is this one?
Dark
Angel ‘57: U, Romanian girls,
are very pragmatic. Even
the slick Butler swallowed your bait. Strong
nation!
Cocuţa: When
the first woman with millions and breast implants from your country will come
to take as a husband a poor guy from my country, one of those poor guys who
work twelve hours with the bevelled washers, one
of those who break their bones working with the pickaxe for a slice of Bologna
sausage, then we will trully be a strong nation,
until then we won’t… At least it is good that we finished with the first
stage, with those crappy phases from the beginning, with
the traditional dances from the airport, with
the salt and bread from the plate brought under your nose, straight
to the plane’s stair. We start to resemble you… “What are u gonna give
me for me to give you?”
Equality, isn’t that what u wished for?
Dark
Angel ‘57: Ah, this stupid consumerism. Fuck,
fuck, fuck! I wanna see u, pussy! MILKY
WAY, I’m gonna come!!!... I’m gonna come!!!... I
want to... I’m gonna come!!!... I’m gonna come!!!... I’m
uber horny! Do you get that? I can’t take it anymore!
Cocuţa: Did
you see the gallery of nude pics which I posted. Free of charge. That is enough
for a start.
Dark
Angel ‘57:
What gallery do u keep talking about?! Which nude pics?!
Cocuţa: Ah! Again the bloody hacker…
I’m gonna solve this! It uploads pretty hard. In about 15 minutes it will be
solved, u will have them all. Give me a valid email... Did you somehow say a
sum because I did not pay so much attention? No? Not yet?! Then, hold down your
horses, stay at the cue or let the others in the front. I
already have someone else by my side who cannot take it anymore,
who is on the last mile... (out
of phase) We did not invent it. Do
you want or not my bank account?
Dark
Angel ‘57: I’ll pay anything.Tell me a reasonable
price.
Cocuţa: Of
course. We are starting to clear ourselves. How much does it cost? Let’s say,
your little car?
Dark
Angel ‘57: Which one of them?
Cocuţa: I
don’t know. The last one. The one u care about more. The sport one .
Dark
Angel ‘57: While we are talking, 200-250.000, I
believe, but I am not very sure, maybe even more.
Cocuţa: How
much would u be able to offer for my virginity, Dark Angel? How much r u
thinking about? I suppose u already have a price in your head atm, isn’t it ?
Dark
Angel ‘57: You play rough, Sailor Moon. 30.000 with
extension, maximum 35.000. In how many years would you be able to save that,
there in your country? It is an amazing sum, isn’t it, baby?
Cocuţa: Don’t
be ridiculous. I do not need incredible sums, I need 150.000 sharp, that’s how
much I need.
A pause unbelievably relaxed.
Dark
Angel ‘57: Baby,
baby, baby, baby! Easy! I like the
fact that u have the sense of humor very developed. Do u hav somehow, on
the side, some lil sis? Be it! I will make a bundle offer! (with an easy tint of nervousness) The last price is 40.000, let’s
say 45. Maximum. That is because I am not used to be denied, that is because I
hav never lost an auction before… With this amount of money I would have found
in Taiwan for my collection ten girls of ten years old max; ten, understand?... Are we gonna
shake hands, pussy?
Cocuţa: Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Go to hell, you creep, with
your crumbs and everything! I need exactly 150.000, that’s how much I need for
my grandma… Go to Hell!
Dark
Angel ‘57: What?!
Cocuţa: Fuck ur mom! Understand? Fuck ur mom!

The
Angels.
A huge room filled with white pc monitors on which
angels with wings type phrenetically. From time to time, at irregular periods
of time, they faint one after another
pulling reminiscent sounds of asphyxiation, but almost instantly, appear
the vigilant volunteer angels who clear
the area and place immediately
others on the spare
chairs, fresh substitutes who take the relay along the way. In one corner, on
a small improvised podium,a trio formed out of a quartet of five soloists
without wings try to animate the dull atmosphere with refined Sicilian opera
music.

Pitbull.
Pitbull
from Facebook: Do u know how powerful u r?
Pitbull: Wtf?!...
Pitbull
from Facebook: Do u have a mini idea about how powerful u r?
Pitbull: Wtf
are you doing in my friends’ list?! Ha? I do not remember to have had confirmed
your friendship in any way...
Why did u get in,
old man?!
How did you get in?!
When did you get in?!... Hear
this,if u are one of those who want to give me hate
comments, to screw my pc and to delete the sketches I worked so much for, I will fuck you.! I
will fuck you. With all your kind! Did u understand? I
am tired to keep reinstalling the windows, to figth four legged, to start
crusades after crusades with all the shitty viruses... I am
talking to u, sucker! Wtf do u want? Wtf are u doing on
my page?
Pitbull
from Facebook: Easy!
I just want to talk to u,
“artist”. That and nothing else… Do u
have a clue,do u have an idea of how powerful u r?
Pitbull
(disarmed): I don’t
have any idea about what power is! Why would I lie to u
that I have? I don’t.
Pitbull
from Facebook:
Can u tell me? How did u figure that out?
Pitbull: Easy, old man, easy. To
impress Ramo from the tenth floor, some months ago, I
tried to train myself with an old stretcher with rubber bands which I found in
my dad’s tool box, because my t-shirt looked too weird on my skinny chest… and
that’s how I got a beautiful black right eye, like
the size of a tomato jar of 800 grams… That is not I think,
that was not power, you say it, isn’t it? As a consequence, I
did not get out of the house for a week (so that I won’t be needed
to answer all sort of stupid questions like ”Who fucked u now, Pitbull?”) and
that is when I read the third book without covers and pics from my entire life (the first two, I will not talk about them because
there was written no author on them). The handbook of the
rat by Celnocov, edition
1949, that is how the book was called. It
did not have all the pages, but
I understood everything. Everything. It was written in
everybody’s language, in a simple and expressive language, without
figures of speech, handy for everybody. It is very, veeery
interesting,I will recommend it warmfully to u and if u want to
find out my honest opinion about it –
the job which it talks about is very present, very wealthy even nowadays.
Pitbull
from Facebook:
Power! Power!
In ur suffering, in your weakness lies the power.
Pitbull: Of who? Put it down cuz it
starts to quak… After that, because the black thing got stubborn to extend until
my ears, followed a captivating best-seller of
the 80’s: The book of the crane operator and of the interpreted
mechanic by Antonov, Davidescu
and Preda… To operate any type
of crane it is very easy, u have a few buttons there, not such
a big deal, four buttons: up, down, right, left. I
read it six times...
And because that stupid bruise won’t pass, I tried, like my non-literate aunt Cecilia taught me, to
cut a red woody cabbage from the supermarket, in half, to
pass it through the big salt and to put it on my opened eye. How
long do u think it took me for this sort of operation? Hark, hark, hark, hark! Hark, hark, hark, hark! About half an hour of afflict with the hacksaw... Very
veiny, it wasn’t Romanian, as
if they would have stuffed it with the compactor… Half
of day I was so sick that I lied with my eyes looking at the ceiling and with
compresses on my eyes and I was terribly tired.. This
is not power, it doesn’t look like power yet, right? What do u say?
Pitbull
from Facebook: Yeah,
irrelevant experiences, alter ego! U
have no idea about how powerful u r, about how u make
urself useful. None of those. Power-power-power!
(mechanical) If you succeed to put
forth in the same direction all ur 600 muscles of ur body you could lift a weight
of at least 20-25 tons, meaning a lorry filled with bulls.
Pitbull: Fuck me!!! Who, me?! Come on that’s too, too much. I
tried once, but I had to run fast-fast to the toilet. I almost missed by one
centimeter the entrance of the door... I hardly can carry an
empty luggage to the East train station... R u insane?! Where the fuck
do u get all this nonsense from?
Pitbull
from Facebook (mechanical): Every
individual who got to the centenary spends six years dreaming absolutely for
nothing. What
a waste of imagination, it is like we would put a sprinkler, to irrigate
heavily, a swamp!
Pitbull: Did
someone from my block of flats complained, Pitbull
from Facebook? Someone complained,
isn’t it? That bitch of Ramona must have been, since I broke up
with her... What’s the trick, man? Take
me easy... Let me get this straight, it means that until this age
I have dreamt non-stop for at least twelve months?
Pitbull
from Facebook: U are starting to figure it out…
One year, young Bavarian, imagine it, an entire year and
you did not do anything to make urself useful... (mechanical)
A fake orgasm burns 300 calories, areal one three times less.
Pitbull: Tiii! Only now I figured out
why my mom is so skinny, like a tiny fish... my
sis on the other hand keeps bloating, she bloats like a
second flood... Whenever they announce beached whales on tv, my
poor brother in law comes quick in the bedroom with a hook...
Pitbull
from Facebook: Yeah, but her husband, meaning
ur brother in law, keeps shrinking if you did not notice. The
law of compensation. Remember how he looked in the pics from the wedding, look
at what’s left of him today, a poor plank with a jacket,
a leftover among the teeth of a shark. Soon he will get to
look like a germ, and ur sis like Jupiter... Believe
me. Not even the most powerful males can sneeze with their
eyes open. The only animals who can still have sex while looking
at each other are the humans who mime the good faith... U
already knew this, isn’t it? If they didn’t hate each other enough, it
would be for them almost impossible.
Pitbull: Just a sec! Let me open Word. I’m
really gonna write this down to tell to the gang. Although
u say we have the same name, u r so smart that u don’t
look anything like me.
U overtake me.
Pitbull
from Facebook: Yeah right, Pitbull,
we are alike, only that I am Pitbull from Facebook... Absolutely,
but absolutely, all babies hav blue
eyes when they r born.
Pitbull: Ha?! Yeah?! I
didn’t know. I have remained constant to the first option. Besides, the only
valid one for me.
Pitbull
from Facebook:Stillness in a project is a sign of stupidity... Cioran or Noica?
Pitbull: ...Bingo! Mother Leone! U take
the prize in my place.
Pitbull
from Facebook (thundering): WHY
DON’T U DO, MAN,
WHY DON’T U DO SOMETHING PALPABLE, SOMETHING PLAUSIBLE FOR THIS COUNTRY WHICH
IS SINKING?
Pitbull: Ooops, the problem starts to stink… So this is where u
wanted to get, old man!
Pitbull
de pe Facebook: Create
something, do something, man, until everything goes to ruins!
Pitbull: What
should we do? We are too lil! We
let the bigger ones, the ones who have jeeps, to
overthrow mountains, to fracture rocks, to show us the
rainbow which bursts like a drill from their puke... Do u hear them? They already
started with good cheer the demolition. Our generation is only at the beginning,
they just started learning how to wipe their ass with a meal ticket…
Pitbull
from Facebook: I
see. I see u. They still sleep like a log. They still say at lunch: “Good
morning! When I see u, I feel sick!” You walk all the time like zombies with a
coke in one hand and with the eyes not that wide open… Power-power-power! Do u have any idea, do u realize how powerful u
r?
Pitbull: U
are starting to become naggy. I don’t have it bro, I don’t have it!
Where the fuck should I have it from?
Pitbull
from Facebook:
Tv, tv, tv, tv, tv! All day long u ruin ur sight watching
tv, being on the phone, being on the pc, being on Facebook...
Pitbull: Take
it easy, I know the drill!
My parents say the same thing. And what’s the harm in that? Are
we doing something wrong? Are we killing someone?
Pitbull
from Facebook: Gather your friends and do something good for ur
country, for this nation, something exemplary! U
have the moral duty towards ur predecessors.
Pitbull: Bleah!
You sound like my history teacher who gets beaten at home by the wife with the
roller filled of polenta… I have power, my arse!
Pitbull
from Facebook: Do
something, Pitbull! Anything, only do something which is significant, which is gonna
trigger ur confused generation. Something that will change things for good. Gather
ur friends.
Pitbull: To
have a beer? To have that sort of cig?!
Pitbull
from Facebook:
Ha-ha-ha! Good one! Ttt!
Pitbull: Ahhhh!
Are you talking about the 721 friends?
Pitbull
from Facebook: Those are friends only by name, they
r not real. Gather ur friends.
Pitbull: But
they sum up the numbers
there… Doesn’t it count?
Pitbull
from Facebook: How does that help u? How
many real friends do u really have, Pitbull? Be honest! Admit it. Can u
tell me, can u answer me?
Pitbull: Two.One
is Scooby and the other is Cocuţa. These two. These are the friends I
count on.
Pitbull
from Facebook: U forgot one more, but
of course I forgive u, but I won’t forget about this when Christmas comes… It
is good that u are starting to recover. Take
the friends u are counting on and try to do something that will awake everybody
else. Something of national impact. Change
something in this country until it will get empty of its brilliant brains.
Pitbull
from Facebook:
Are u still good at drawing? Do u
still want to go to monumental arts?
Pitbull: How do u know?
Where did u find out?
Pitbull
from Facebook: What do u mean where did I find out?
From the Holy Facebook. Didn’t
u put all ur memories, all ur thoughts, all your diary, all your life there
like in a fish tank, for everybody to know u like their own pocket? Isn’t that
clear? Take ur friends immediately, fill ur backpacks
with sprays and draw the face of Gafencu on the roof of the BNR building. A huge
graffiti which will shake the conscience of everybody…
Pitbull:
Which Gafencu?!
Pitbull from Facebook:
Valeriu. The saint of the prisons. Search
it on Google and u will find out everything about him. Power! This country needs u, do u understand?
Pitbull (while typing):
I feel like I want to step with my feet on this country. All of my feet.
Pitbull from Facebook:
This is because u don’t consider it ur country. Start and do something for it
lad and u will see soon enough that u won’t feel like stepping on it so easily.
Pitbull:
(enlightened) Aww, this is big,
pardon, it was big, the lad was cool, because I understood that he died because
of the stinky comunists!... Were u saying something about the BNR roof?
Pitbull from Facebook:
Which was ur biggest work till present time?
Pitbull:
The one with Ramo. The arrangements took a lot of time, sorta two years, but I
was going emotional out of nothing. I thought I was gonna start a secure
investment, but in fact it was only a capital repair. I didn’t go further… She
got herself intensely ready with others as well. In an organized way. In a gang.
Pitbull from Facebook:
I wasn’t talking about “intrigues”…
Pitbull:
Ahhh! Do u refer to sketches? A nude of 60x60 which I cared about, a lot, but
which I don’t have anymore. I took it to the bin when… oh well, stuff…
Pitbull from Facebook:
60x60?! I suppose we are talking about centimeters. Do u know how many square
metres has the BNR roof?
Pitbull:
I can only imagine. As much as a football field. Maybe more?
Pitbull from Facebook:
What do u say, are u in?
Pitbull:
It’s a bit dangerous, and then, how the fuck are we gonna climb up there?
Pitbull from Facebook:
DO U HAVE ANY CLUE, DO U HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT HOW POWERFUL U ARE?
Pitbull: I
will never succeed to strain in the same direction all my 600 muscles of which
I dispose and become an elevator, like u suggest, no matter
how hard I try.
Pitbull from Facebook:
Everything happens for a reason in life, alter ego, even Facebook! Ur
generation needs powerful models, not Facebook! Give a warning! A powerful one!
Power! Of putting it forth, we will deal with it, ur unknown friends.
Pitbull:
What do u wanna say?
Pitbull from Facebook:
“The book of the crane operator and of the interpreted mechanic” by Antonov,
Davidescu and Preda
Pitbull:
What?!
Pitbull from Facebook:
“The book of the crane operator and of the interpreted mechanic”
Pitbull:
What?!
Pitbull from Facebook:
The west side of the BNR is in restoration… There is an entire site filled of
materials and equipment, so full, what is so hard to understand, Pitbull?
Pitbull:
Aha…
Pitbull from Facebook:
Wait, do not sign out! Who is the best friend of Pitbull?
Pitbull:
Pitbull from Facebook! That’s a fact!

The gang.
Scooby: Stop
looking down, stop looking down or it will make u dizzy… Why did u freeze?
Cocuţa: Boss, do u see those two
flags there in front? Those, one next to each other.
Scooby: And?
Cocuţa: I
don’t understand, give me a reasonable explanation, a Physics one. Why our flag
stands floopy like a kitchen cloth while the European Union one flaps high and
mighty, nearly taking flight from the mast?
Scooby: It
could have something, like a fireplace bellow, how the fuck should I know?
Cocuţa: Come on, give me a break… And
ours, why, why shouldn’t it have a fireplace blower? What, don’t we have the
face to get a fireplace blower; so what, are we more stupid?
Scooby: How
the fuck should I know if it has or if it doesn’t have, I am not the center of the universe. Maybe it is some
sort of a flow thing.
Cocuţa: What
sort of stuff! Oi’, gang, oi’, do u see what I
see?
Pitbull: Again?!
Sst! Sst! Don’t u get ur hoods off, cuz in case of some hidden cams, we are
fucked!
Scooby: Ahhh! Fuck me! I cut myself in that type of turned rusty tin!
Pitbull: Wtf can u see with this darkness? Can’t u see that ur sticking ur fingers into my eyes?
Scooby: In
what sort of of shit with teeth did u got ourselves into,
man… How are we supposed to do this huge Gafencu graffiti without even seeing?
Pitbull: Did
we not establish this already, oi’, did we not establish it? Come on, oi’! I
get the hard part always. I already did the outlines, u just need to fill them
in, the shades, and that’s it. The rest is my job. Be
thrifty, for the tubes to last us… In max four hours we need to have everything
done, did u understand?
Cocuţa: Do u see them? Get, get ur infrared phone and take a pic quickly, otherwise
no one will believe us.
Scooby: Do u
think I’m in the mood for a shooting?
Pitbull: Sst! Sst! U r unbelievable
guys. U think u r at the swimming pool.
Cocuţa: What
is there to believe, that we were on the BNR roof? When
we were gonna call the guys from Guiness Book to get the measurements, they
will have to believe us, they will have no choice.
Scooby: That
will happen if our folks will give their
approval for that.
Pitbull: What
are u saying, as if we needed any approval when we got ourselves
into this without anyobody knowing, getting with the crane until here? Well, whose interest is it?
Scooby: The
whole thing is that we shouldn’t get expeled, otherwise
we are fucked… Do u think Gafencu was the best choice?
Pitbull: Yeah. He is very easy to
stylize. He has very clear features.
Scooby: No
I’m not referring to that. Some say he was a saint, others
that he was a legionary. This is his print from now
on. What if he gets back in business, like at Tg. Ocna, Ellie Wiesel Institute? Who gave u this supid
idea? Wouldn’t it have been better, Iorga? Wouldn’t it have been
better Horea, Cloşca and
Crişan? These poor fellows
are not challenged by anyone.
Pitbull: Why
should we change our mind now? What, would u have wanted us to draw Mickey Mouse
flying a F16? Did u want us to risk our lives for some camomile flowers or for
some hearts with arrows? Sst!
Cocuţa: Oi’, fuck me, do u see or not
those freaks, long haired fellows crowded in the corner who are singing
acapella?
Scooby
(calm): Yeah, they are some apter
angels, very trendy, wearing some worn jeans! And
what about it? We have our things, they have their things. Everybody must earn
their own bread.
Cocuţa: Apters?!
Scooby: Meaning
without wings, highschool! Aptero Angels!
Cocuţa: Is
it gd or bad?
Pitbull: I
can’t tell from here if they are lads or lassies… Are
they Catholic angels or Orthodox ones?
Cocuţa: Oi’, Pitbull, u might be
talented for drawing, u might be some unrecognized genius, but u r some irrecoverable
morron, I swear it on my cross, that’s why all the retards fool u. The religions are on earth, not in heaven. These
are the angels of angels. Before
the schism. Originals. Really.They sing better than the Madrigal. It’s a pity
they don’t participate to competitions, because they would surpass many.
Pitbull: Do
you think,we should tell them something, shake
hands with them, congratulate them? I heard that, they are the ones, who give
the reports there,up there where they need to give them… Otherwise, they might
think of us of not being well educated.
Scooby: Don’t
u somehow want, Michelangelo, autographs from them as well? Ignore them. What can we say to them,
because we didn’t come to exchange experiences, can’t
u see that we r running out of time? They might have come
for a fund raising for an orphanage or who knows, maybe they are filming a
video for Lady Gaga. I heard that the girl pays good money.
Each of us with his job.Come
on! Get up cuz we have work to do upstairs!
Pitbull: Get
the white sprays out of the backpacks! (they
are blinded by a powerful spotlight)
Pause.
Cocuţa: Literally:
I f… a horse on his d… boys!
Pause.
The
megaphone: Which are ur demands, which are ur demands?
Pause.
Cocuţa
(in whisper): They caught us! I
told u that they must have movement sensors on the roof as well, that’s
why it is called BNR and not consignment of chewing gums… What
shall we tell them, that we want to save the dolphins from the Black Sea?
Scooby: Sst! Let
me think!
Pitbull: Originality is not one of your strenghts, Cocuţo. We have to ask for something,
otherwise they r going to lock us up in an asylum until the end of time.
The
megaphone: Our negociator is on the way. It
is a matter of some couple of minutes. Please, do
not make any impulsive moves. Because of the repairs, the
roof is very slippery.
Cocuţa: Oi’, these lads cannot see the angels,
are they racist? Why aren’t they picking on them as well?
Why r they talking only with us and not with them?!
Scooby: Not
everybody who has eyes can see the angels. Not
everybody who has ears can hear them… Look, do u see the
tall one with olive skin. He is the spitting image of my dad, Ahmed.
Pitbull: The spitting image of ur dad?... The
one who is playing the drums without having hands and legs?!
Scooby: Yeah, because he was Ugandan... and
so u know the Ugandans…
Pitbull: I
thought u said he died, that
he threw himself in front of...
Scooby: Sst! This
one is too white. I didn’t say that angel is my dad, only
that he is his spitting image.
Cocuţa: R we
going to stay longer here, looking like stupid, because my legs started to
shake?
Scooby: We
are waiting for the negociator…
It is a thing of mins, did u not hear that?
Cocuţa: So
what, did we come here to negociate? We
came here to make an artistic act, a cultural manifesto!
Pitbull
(not even him being convinced of it): We came to promote
the Saint of Prisons, the Great Valeriu Gafencu, to
make him known to all the others who did not... is
that not the thing that we came for?...
Cocuţa: Until
their negociator comes, until they get him out of his bed, until they tie up
his tie, until they button his fly, let us say something to them so that they
won’t think about us that we are some sort of idiots from some kind of
construction highschool having the graduation percentage very low.
Pitbull: Exactly, we
should say to them something super smart; but
what should we say to them if we haven’t got anything to say?
Scooby: Gang! (they all gather one next to the other and they start
whispering for a couple of minutes until it looks like they have agreed on
something)
The
megaphone: Children!
Please, do
not make any thoughtless gestures. The firefighters
truck with extendable ladder is on it’s way. The
tin is very, but very slippery. Wait for the negociators, wait for the extendable
ladder.
Cocuţa: Until
present time they were talking only about one, now I see they have multiplied.
Scooby: Never
in my life did I have waited the encounter with a ladder, be it a long one as
well.
The
megaphone: We all know you very well! We
have been following you for two years! You have been
attentively monitorized by our special squad! Do not make any thoughtless gestures,
so that we won’t be obliged to intervene with force! Did
you understand?
Pitbull: Did
u hear tht,they know me. Odd!
I did not succeed that myself until now... Let’s
tell them!
Should we tell it to them?
All
three (on a Sunday): We
are a generation. Do not judge us. Think
about it!
The
megaphone: No sudden moves!!! You children, you, put some reason
in your heads! You saw what sort of disasters happen in other parts
of the world! Do you want all the others to point at us with their
middle finger?
Did you see what is going on in Egypt! Did u see what is
happening in Ukraine! Do you want us to lose the last frightened tourists who
visit us?
Scooby’s mother: (desperate,on the megaphone): Martian,
momma’s boy, what has come into you all of a sudden to start doing
nonsense?
You, who used to tell me all of your secrets like to a
real friend, you…Who upset you?I told you not to go out anymore with those two
punks because they will lead you to ruin, I told you to stop smoking all that
shit from the corner of the street…You, the Olympic of the school, look what is
left of you if you did not listen to me. Get down immediately, if you ever want
to come back home again! Martian, momma’s boy, do you hear me? Get down! Get
down! Say something if you can hear me!
Scooby: „La maman et
la putain!“ (with echo)
Pause.
The
megaphone: This is not a demand. This
is a conclusion. A bad one, of course… In all our customs, the
mother is considered a real saint! (improvising) “Oh mother, gentle, mother,/ From tempestuous times,/
From crowded rustles,/ You cast me out and then you call me back again!”… What
do you want from us, you, confused boy? Why
did you climb until there? Do you know at least what do you want?
Scooby: Of course. I want to marry the Romanian teacher, with Lorena
Ghivirigă, but I don’t want you to dismiss her from education
because of that…so that we have money to raise our
child until I get a job as well.
The
megaphone: Who doesn’t allow you? I? I
have nothing against it.
I am as well a father of boys. Get
married, you lad, if
you cannot abstain to be in the bathroom on your own anymore, if this is what
you want with all your gut...
if the pro…wants as well, sorry, if
she wants as well. The
real problem is if she wants to as well…Are you sure she wants that? Are you definately
sure she wants that?If you are sure she does, I will be your godfather!Think
about it a bit more then give me an answer. A manly answer. You have five
minutes…Next! What does the next one want?
Cocuţa
(easy): Do you have 150.000 euros?
The
megaphone: Of course!
The ingots are right in the basement.We wil give you as
many as you need! Two hundred, three hundred thousands, is that enough? Next!
Scooby: Oi’ guys,
they are stalling us, they are up to something, can’t u see that they r taking
us for fools, can’t you see that they are taking a piss at us!
The
megaphone: Next on the list!
Pitbull: Who is next?
Scooby and Cocuţa: U!
Cocuţa: Be
careful what u wish for because it might come true.
Scooby: I am
not selfish like you are. I am realistic. I will
ask them for a particular brand of roller skates for each and one of us, so
that all the losers from Carol Park die of spite.
Cocuţa: Now u
fully convinced me. U are really stupid,
Pitbull!
The

Esca (in an alert way): Shock and terror on Lipscani street, nr. 25,at the central head office BNR from the
capital!Only a few hours ago an unidentified armed group formed out of three
youngsters from secondary school went on the roof of the BNR head office and
threatened the police with the detonation of aprox.150 kg of explosive which
was placed on their bodies.Their claims were very unclear and a few witnesses
present at the terraces from the pubs in vicinity declared that they heard

will judge all of you who try to think!

to try and get the attention of the guards while other terrorists already had
succeeded to get inside the Hall of the Treasury... The residents from the centre of the capital can breathe

was annihilated! Latest sources clearly state that among the attackers was a
young woman with severe personality disorders nicknamed Sailor Moon, sadly during the intervention of The Anti-Terrorist Brigade which
is part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she was shot in the head. For more details,we will come back only in a few minutes alongside our special
correspondent Catalin Radu Tanase who is already on the
spot! And now to continue the news. Also in the Lipscani area there were observed paranormal phenomena which culminated in ...
