"Car in the Snow"

One evening, none other than Gibonni knocked on the door of Anja and Šova, asking the duo to help him dig out a car stuck in the snow.

Fabijan's daughter Anja Šovagović Despot recalled an anecdote with her father:

Paragraph image 1772

"I was totally pregnant with my stomach up to my teeth. Shovo was cutting bacon and onions in the kitchen. I was sitting in the living room and watching TV. It was a blizzard outside. Rings. I can't move, my spine hurts. The old man goes to open the door. He is holding a big, huge knife in his hand. It opens. Enter Gibbon. That the snow was falling on his car, buried the whole vehicle and he couldn't dig it out. So he would need some help. And he looks at me and then at Shova. Shovo is standing in his pajamas and can't believe his ears. What will this father do? And he's holding that huge knife that cuts bacon and onions. Where are you from? - he asked rudely to the rude cry for help. Gibonni replies in disbelief that he is from Split, naturally. - From Split? So what are you doing in Zagreb after a storm like this? Fuck him, you shitty Dalmatian, are you trying to fuck me? I'm sitting, I'm silent, I'm pregnant. And the Dalmatian stood stunned with a shovel in his hand. He doesn't seem to understand the question. Does not reply. - Shall I help you? Or this pregnant one? Shovo cried desperately. And he waves that huge knife, writing a question mark in the invisible air. - When I have bruh - quietly replicated the singer-songwriter. - What do you have? Bruh do you have? - now the actor was already on the verge of crying. - Well, you've been hit in the gut, my father! And do you know that I'm wounded in the brain, you silly me! And now you're making me, a second-hand brain, dig out your exhaust with a wounded puss! Now, how will the two of us, thrust into the key positions of your life, get that car of yours ready? What is it, Dalmatian? What are you watching? Are you a Marxist? What are you? – and waves the knife like a madman. Vice. Scream. You could say that he is pulling out the hair on his head. Terribly upset, shaken by the man's belly and his impotence, angry at the unpredictable nature and the even more unpredictable southerner in the mainland region, furious at the unnatural appearances of the Dalmatians among the Zagorjes, furious at human migrations in general, at himself who damaged his brain by waging war in his Slavonia, maddened by one with a stupid means of transport that can't start, and our whole nation can't start and the snow has fallen on it and 'who will dig us all out and 'who will heal our brains and awaken our sex...'
