OK, now you can gossip about each other. Tarik, tell us, what are Rene's biggest faults?
T: Rene is better every day. I cannot believe what happens with this man. He became so tolerant, calm and cool and he wants to speak about everything rationally. He was much harder before, in Academy. I am very satisfied about progress our colleague Rene made, really.

Rene, you now: what are Tarik's biggest faults?
R: The biggest Tarik's fault is coughing in someone's head, without putting his hand on the mouth...
T: I always cough on his shirt.
R: Also, it makes me nervous, especially when we are short with time, when he cannot stand still in one place but he always transfers from one leg to another.
T: I cannot stand still; I couldn't do that in army either. When I stand still more than three minutes it makes me dizzy.
R: And in recent time his fault is SMS.

OK, let us be little indiscrete:what are those SMS say? Are they, literary speaking, love offers?
R: That is for letters, and there is fewer letters now when SMS exists.
T: But nothing concrete.
R: They are not some marriage offers
T: ...or life threatening (laugh). Everything is normal, more or less. Messages are short; no one has courage to start real conversation. On the other hand, what makes me really nervous is when somebody calls all day and just ends the call. That makes me very tired.
R: Yes, they start and then 25 minutes, calls, ends, calls, ends...

What would be your reaction to the fact that your girl had the Playboy photo session?
T: Firstly, I would tear her arm from her shoulder...
R: ...then I would tie her in chains so she won't be able to go anywhere
T: ...and then I would explain to her that it was very bad thing. And then I wouldn't hit her with my arm but with the leg. I'm just joking.
R: I'm not conservative and I have nothing against nudity. There is nothing like that on our TV, but, we have satellite, videocassettes...but I'm not sure that my girl would do that.
T: In my opinion my girlfriend is not the one who would do that. But if it happens to me, I'll call you and tell you my feelings. And what I did to her! (laugh)

Who would say, you look like very nice guys! Tell me, what if director wants you to take your close off? I do not ask you what would your girls do to you but would you accept that?
R: I would accept that if it makes sense within scenario. I don't want to show my genitals if it is just director's crazy idea. If it matters, if it works, I don't know, everything depends on the moment.
T: There are no scenes like that...
R: There is no story. Everything is based on war, catastrophes and some suburbs. We didn't see that thing anywhere. Zagreb, 21st century, there is no life; there is no normal situation. There is no scenario, I really believe that.
T: Scenario is missing, above all other things. And logistic. We have actors, we have directors.

We can assume, for the sake of this conversation, that everything works, that it has sense, scenario, logistic and story - who would you prefer between our actresses to be your partner in one hot love scene?
T: Nela Erzisnik. I'm joking.
R: But they are friends...
T: Colleagues, friends...
R: But there are great looking actresses in our country. And if you mention one, the others could be angry.
T: When I make such scene, I'll tell you about it.
