"You wouldn't know a gun from a pitchfork!" "A good miner... a family man." "Then this business..." "Not good..." "It's not good at all..." "But... we can still sort things out..." "It's the truth." "We wanted to save the world." "It's not my fault the ray was aimed at the Committee." "Comrade Hes..." "such a good communist" "shouldn't be talking nonsense..." "Should he?" " It was all my fault!" " What was?" "Sit down and answer the questions." "And cut the crap." "Fine, lock me up, kill me!" "We need a sacrifice!" "I said sit on your arse!" "Don't cry, son." "Confess and we'll let you go home." "Calm down, sonny." "Do calm down." "Do calm down." "What now?" "We've to wait for instructions." "They're here." "It's the Colonel."

"Why were you trying to put a naked man... on the Committee roof?" "." " To save the world." "There were three signs - War, Plague and the Mushroom." "We've got to hurry, before the ray from Saturn destroys the Earth!" " Is this yours?" " Aye." "Continue..." "We need to put a virgin boy, who's never been with a girl, in the path of the ray." "He'll take the impact and save the world." "The ray was to strike the Party building?" "On the roof, near the front." "Now we're doomed..." "It didn't strike after all." "This young man wanted to die to save the Party Committee?" "To save the whole world!" "Get the hell out or I'll lock you in the asylum." "Million stars lit up the sky." "In the park just you and me..." "I like that woman of Ewald's." "She was a fine lass when she was young." "She's still quite elegant." " Not bad at all." "Try your luck." "She's a bit lonely, I think." "I could visit her." "For a coffee..." "Hang on, Bernard, something's just come up..." "I've got some business to do." "Give me a moment!" "I'll be right back!" "Get him!" " These're good." " And some spuds." "You bugger!" "What you think you're doing?" "Get him!" "Smile, look at me..." "Not here..." "Go some other place!" "That's what you get, you grass!" "Excuse me, when's the train to Stalinogrod?" "The stationmaster's got a timetable." "One vodka, please." " Seven beers, please." " What's the rush?" "We were in Kolobrzeg, at the Sanatorium." "Beautiful place." "The food was great, we went dancing..." "Get your beers." "Thanks." "Why're you dunking your fingers in your beer?" "They taste better..." "Ewald, you prick!"
