"Hi, what's for lunch?" "Is this everything you have for us?" "I may ask what's for lunch, no?" "Yes." "But may we ask you how about your grades?" "Oh, grades..." "It may turn out that you won't be getting lunch, you know?" "History..." "Mmm" "Czech..." "You don't speak Czech?" "Well..." "Uuuugh..." "Chemistry!" "Also nice." "So, Mum..." "But I have an Excellent in Math!" "Give him some soup." "He doesn't deserve more!" "Come here, Hujer!" "You'll have to explain this " "Here, on Monday:" "checked in at 6:00 and then checked out at 6:02 and again in 6:03" "What does it mean?" "That you wander at the gate in and out?" "I read the daily press." "I admire it." "But we go to work right on the first attempt!" "Take it..." "Mr. Supervisor!" "The sausages are on the table." "Thank you, Suzy, thank you." "Don't mention it." "So, the new building will be up to here?" "A great deal of change is waiting for us." "They say we won't recognize it when we see it." "No fear, George, you'll grasp it." "Oh yeah, no fear." "They are building something decent, aren't they?" "I was talking about that schooling." "Not to be afraid about it." "We are not afraid of it, no." "A lot of people are interested - here" " Hloušek, Krabatý..." "Hloušek, Krabatý!" "What is it?" "Come here." "Moment" "Even Famfula." "Famfula!" "Famfula!" "Come here!" "Tell the comrade deputy Director what you've decided about schooling." "Well, yeah, I would go for it." "It's not about Famfula" "Although we are glad that you want to take that welding course." "It's more about your high school, George" "About mine?" "Yes." "In order to be a supervisor in the new factory, you know." "Wait, I was thinking the young would take over." "You wouldn't send us, the old people with the bad knees to school?" "Look here." "Given the automatic production everything will change." "So, for example, here" "Here an automatic transporter will lead to the new building" "There will be an enormous KL-2" "And above everything, There will be a glass observation tower." "It will be so beautiful!" "Later, in the office, I will show you the plans, you know." "And in that observation desk a supervisor will sit with a high school diploma." "He will possess a ruler..." "a logarithmic one, of course." "And he will be automatically above all even salary wise." "Well, I think it's not so desperate at all." "What would you say to that, George?" "Well, as I have told you before let anybody sit in that square tower, but you won't get me in that school." "Hujer is raising a hand." "If you'd allow, comrade deputy Director, in the case that I would graduate that high school, may I, as a quality control inspector, rely and I am not pushing myself into comrade Kroupa's place," "could I hope for a glassed space?" "Naturally." "It depends how comrade Kroupa will decide." "Oh, excellent!" "And because comrade Kroupa already has decided, we could disband all this and everybody could mind his own business." "Neruda." "That one." "In the cage with a lion spirit." "So, what kind of a problem is this?" "To learn a pair of verses?" "I did know it by heart, but it fell out." "Fell out!" "I went to school 30 years ago and nothing has fallen out." "I remember some of the poems even today." "For example:" ""The mother has died and they burried her." See?" "And wake me up in midnight" ""She left orphans behind..." "Well, OK." "Now may I go swimming?" ""They came every morning and looked for their mother" But you think about love notes and not about school." ""And the mother felt sorry for the poor children..."" "Ha-ha." "It's still there!" "Somebody is ringing!" ""...and her soul returned."" "Good evening!" "Hi!" "What has happened?" "We would like to discuss with you that issue, that, well..." "Enter, please." "Enter." "That way, come on." "Now, George, we have contemplated a long time about it." "We won't force you into anything." "I wouldn't even advice you to try me." "But try to imagine it." "When Hujer graduates from that school and you won't, it would be a disaster, because he will fight for the supervisor job." "And you saw him how crazy about it he was." "And I would have to, only because of Hujer, at this age, learn formulas and write homeworks?" "Mr. Kroupa, that you won't manage it?" "Just don't say that." "Look, the people at the workshop love you." "You are strict." "You won't turn a blind eye to anyone." "You are also competent and just." "When I just imagine Hujer..." "It's true, George, you won't do this to us." "Daddy, don't hesitate." "You have good memory." ""The orphans behind her.." You remember it more than 30 years." "Come on, go swimming!" "You, advisor... as if I needed your advice." "The "best" in class." "You see it George, he's all after you." "OK, wait a sec." "Wait." "May I?" "Look at this." "Even if you cut me in such tiny noodles you won't get me into any school!" "We welcome the students of the Technical High School" "We welcome you and wish you a lot of success in school." "Here you have the school program." "We welcome you and wish you a lot of success." "Here you have the school program." "We welcome you and lots of success." "We welcome you and wish you a lot of success." "Here you have.." "Hi, Dad!" "Here you have the school program." "Your clasroom is up and right If you can't find it - it's the same as mine." "Is it free here?" "Yes" "Kroupa is an ox." "Šlajs!" "Tuček!" "I won't ever get rid of him!" "Sorry, we have been sitting together since 1st grade and he's keeping that place on the first desk for me." "Hi!" "Hi!" "Man, where did you get this?" "And where have you lost this?" "You know, my wife." "Here, in the school rules it is written that the student should go to school properly kept." "Does it mean that we have to shave every day?" "Good evening." "Evening!" "Sit down." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Whose is this, please?" "I took the liberty, for the occasion from my little garden... some plums, if you don't find it insulting..." "Well, really, from you, maybe we can taste them in class, everyone together." "No, no, please!" "They are only for you!" "OK, thank you." "My name is Čeněk Janda." "I am your class teacher." "This is good!" "Pardon?" "Nothing, we are just glad." "Yes." "I will teach you mathematics and..." "Dear students of the evening technical school!" "Excuse me." "Allow me to.. [distortion]" "This equipment has some years behind it." "Comrade Director wanted to say, basically, that he welcomes you, that we have actually talked about it at the council that having to go to work every day and from work to school, this isn't really a joke." "But we, on our side will do anything for you to succeed." "I will teach you mathematics and descriptive geometry." "And now, I would gladly get to know you." "Březina?" "You work as a..?" "Locksmith." "Thank you." "Dudek." "Accountant." "Gregorová." "Turner." "Fulinová." "Toolmaker." "Yes." "Thank you." "Aluminum?" "Is Aluminum present?" "Aluminum moved to Humpolec." "OK." "We'll put that down." "Hujer?" "Here." "Viktor." "Quality Control for the moment." "Ah, we talked." "Kroupa?" "Supervisor." "I am here conditionally " "Pardon?" "That I am here conditionaly, it's decided this way." "If I have any difficulties with the learning" "I quit on the spot." "Yes?" "You are entitled to it." "Mužik?" "Rakouna!" "Supervisor." "Thanks." "Pavlíček?" "Kroupa jr. is an ox." "Planning." "Thank you." "Plha?" "Warehouseman." "Roubiček." "I have a question." "Here... in the school handbook it's written that" ""Always, the student must go to school properly kept."" "Does it mean that we have to shave every day?" "Don't disturb." "But, no!" "When I shave daily, I bleed." "So, you don't have to take thesе rules litelally." "It's about small children." "But children don't shave." "It's true." "But they have to be washed and combed and such..." "Roubiček." "And I have another question." "Here, in article 8, it says - "The parents are being informed of the student's grades at regular meetings."" "Yes, it's also about kids." "Well, it's because my parents live in Kojčice." "This is far away, near Pelhřimov, and my parents are old, and..." "But.." "...it's a lot of travelling as I said, Mr. Plha," "Don't torture your head with this, it concerns little children." "Roubiček." "That's why, because I don't know otherwise." "The train is not for free, also." "Please, sit down at last." "But no, don't you understand?" "I don't know about you, but these 70 korunas for my parents, to travel... Roubiček" "Supervisor." "Supervisor at the mill." "Thank you." "Šlajs?" "Clerk." "Thank you." "Tuček." "Well?" "And you work like a...?" "Like a horse, Mr. Teacher." "Is the place free?" "Certainly." "What's up George?" "What?" "What?" "What what?" "Come on, tell me!" "What should I tell you?" "What about school?" "How is it going?" "School?" "Haven't you seen a school yet?" "This is it.." "It is interesting, they have all those things - desks, a blackboard, a sponge." "And there are some models, that you can see the structure of animals, stones..." "What do you want to know more?" "What?" "You know what I want to know, don't you?" "I know." "Here, I would go there," "But I am there on a condition." "We clearly agreed on it " "And poor you, poor you!" "If it doesn't click." "Poor you!" "Sit down, students!" "Mareček, please hand me the pen." "I am Tuček, Mr. Professor." "Yes." "Aluminum is still absent." "Aluminum moved to Humpolec." "It does not concern me where he is." "Let him work it out with your class teacher." "I am marking him "absent"." "Thank you, Mareček." "I am professor Hrbolek." "I will teach you Czech." "And, if anybody is interested," "I can teach you private lessons in Latin." "And if somebody finds it difficult to keep up with me in the Czech language course," "I offer private tuition as well." "Well, is anybody interested?" "I am retired, I have plenty of time." "Well, I am just substituting for a colleague" " Ptáček." "I have a question " "May I put Latin to use in my field?" "And in what field do you plan to dedicate yourself, student?" "I keep the warehouse in the screw mill." "Even a warehouse keeper could read the original texts of Vergil." "So, I write you down." "But," "What is your name?" "Plha." "I have not yet decided, for sure..." "You will come every Wednesday at 14:00, Mlha." "And now, we'll write a little evaluative dictation." "So, prepare sheets of paper, prepare your penholders, pens, ink pots." "And we'll start dictating." ""Fierce jackals howled grimly at the white moon"" "Look here, only one mistake!" "I thought that word "howled" somehow was connected to "owls". "Fierce jackals owled grimly"" "Otherwise, as you see without a single little mistake." "It could have been an Excellent." "Only this tiny mistake, as you can see." "Only this tiny mistake." "On the other hand, Hujer, what is this blob, at your age?" "This is a shame!" "For a little reality check," "I'll tell you something." "What do you think did I get on the evaluative dictation?" "Good?" "Very good?" "Not even close." "I am familiar with it." "May I reveal?" "A total failure." "That's it, sirs." "These were some crooked words, weren't they?" "Please." "An ordinary dictation from my mother tongue" " Czech and flunked." "You see that I have come a long way that I have patience, but if it goes on the same way we'll have a serious conversation." "Tell me what are the disadvantages of the steam engine?" "A disadvantage of the steam engine is its great weight." "We'll say "mass"." "Its great weight..mass, and low efficiency." "How low is this efficiency?" "Look, I don't like this," "I'll answer or I'll tell that I don't know." "Don't be silent like a ghost." "What is your name?" "Ghost." "With such a name, you have some right, but please, learn it." "between 5% and 10 %." "Let's summarize " "The historical significance of the steam engine." "Svátek." "The... the steam engine was invented in the 18th century..." "Yes, please." "The steam engine invented in the 18th century" "Continue." "Šlajs is raising a hand, please." "Please, he's ashamed to tell you." "Can you disclose what is so delicate about the steam engine?" "He's ashamed to say that he must walk." "Walk?" "And where?" "Nowhere." "Just walking." "Svátek is accustomed to walking while thinking." "If he doesn't walk he won't be able to think." "Look, Tuček." "I already know about your bright ideas." "But he can do it, please." "I work in sales and when I dictate letters" "I must walk." "OK, then." "Get out on the aisle and walk, if it would help you." "The steam engine was invented in the 18th century and was developed fundamentally in the 19th century." "That is why we call the 19th century" ""The steam century"" "Jarda!" "Jarda!" "Jarda!" "The phone is ringing." "The phone is ringing." "Thanks!" "Hello, here is the gate." "Here is the rail station." "Gate," "The monkey house has arrived." "Is it that thing behind you?" "Has it arrived already?" "Yeah." "You have it on the third track." "How wide is it?" "How... how wide is it, they ask?" "About... 3 meters (10 ft.)" "Most important, I don't want it to stink here for too long." "Everybody, come and see!" "It has been delivered!" "It will be warm inside." "It has a lot of control units." "What is this?" "This is the cockpit of the supervisor and an executive armchair." "Hujer, the forwarders are waiting for the stacks!" "I am on my way already!" "Running!" "You must also have a look they have installed an armchair." "Hujer, today you also wandered about the gate!" "I know, I know, but the paper!" "Stop, Franta!" "Stop!" "Famfula!" "Famfula!" "How does it run?" "It runs wonderfully, but it doesn't sow." "It's quite a substantial problem for a drill, no?" "Did you look under?" "No" "You had to bend a little, eh?" "There is stuck paint under." "Mareček, hand me the pen." "I am Tuček, Mr. Professor." "Yes." "Yes." "And as I see it, Aluminum is still absent." "Aluminum moved to Humpolec." "Yes." "Yes, but he is absent." "Thank you, Mareček." "So what did we study last time?" "Mlha?" "Last time we studied one of the great poets of "the steam century"" "Jan Neruda." "The steam century?" "Yes" "19th century is called" ""The steam century"." "We studied it in physics." "Well, all right." "All right." "But don't say it in my classes." "We shall keep to the standard name " "The 19th century." "And what did we have for homework, eh?" "So?" "That I didn't give you any homework?" "!" "No, Mr. Professor, you said that, above all, we had to get a good rest." "It doesn't sound like me." "Please." "We had to learn a poem by heart." ""Like lions beating against bars"" "Yes." "Thank you that you reminded me." "Kroupa." "Come on, Kroupa." "Come here." "You had problems with the dictation" "You may compensate with reciting." "And no mumbling, let those verses flow." "Jan Neruda, from Cosmic Songs." "" Like lions beating against bars, like lions, captured in a cage," "we yarn to fly up to the heavens, yet we are...""

""Shine - "" ""we'll add it to the thought"" ""and our legs"" ""will march, steam powered"" "The steam century!" "I said it..." "Don't disturb!" "We'll come!" "We'll come!" "We shall come." "We hear, we hear you coming, but what next?" "I don't know it after that." "What would I do with you, boy?" "You didn't make me happy and" "I won't make you happy too." "Sit down." "For the next time, you'll have to make an analysis of this poem." "And now, a prosaic work of Neruda." "Please." "What do you want?" "Please, Mr. Professor, let's sing." "Let's sing!" "Please!" "What!" "?" "We don't have a music class and in other classes, like chemistry" "It does not fit in." "But we'll be delayed too much." "I wanted to..." "I wanted to bridge the gaps!" "It is raining!" "What?" "Let's sing "It is Raining"!" "All right, but quickly, please." "It is raining, let it pour." "Where shall we go, dear horses?" "We shall ride to the meadows, until the cockoo starts to sing." "This would be quite enough." "We shall ride to the meadows, until the cockoo starts to sing." "So, the prosaic Neruda" "Then the cuckoo started singing, and my girl started crying." "Please, cuckoo, don't you sing, and my darling, don't you cry." "Please, cuckoo, don't you sing, and my darling, don't you cry." "Don't you smoke?" "Ugh, no." "I am a non-smoker." "This is good." "Do you know what I said to myself when you recited?" "What?" "No, really." "You have the feeling." "There is so much feeling in the first verses." "No, really." "You have a good presentation, but you need someone to study together." "Mrs. Týfová!" "You know what?" "Let's try it together." "Yes?" "Let's stay a bit more after school and I guarantee you that tomorrow you will know it excellently." "You are very kind," "But I cannot today, it's a mad house around me, dinner, wife." "Icecream!" "With nuts!" "Acid!" "Sulfuric!" "Caustics!" "Boron!" "Buy yourself!" "Think about it." "It's on sale." "And then, on page 46 solve example 7a, b, c, and on page 32, examples d, e, f" "This is your homework for the next time." "You may go." "Kroupa will stay a second." "Listen, Kroupa, math is giving your dad a hard time." "Do you learn with him together?" "No." "Isn't it possible?" "To lend a hand about it?" "Well..." "It's hard." "At least the equations, he would need some explanation." "He doesn't know basic things - removing brackets, fractions and etc." "Yes, but he won't allow me to explain anything." "It's hard." "Please, Mommy!" "Oh-ho, tomato sauce." "Are you home?" "How is school?" "Normal." "And you?" "Did you get any grades?" "No." "And you?" "What about me?" "None of your business." "What about me." "It's about you." "I go to this school, and" "I am immersed in the problematics" "Damn!" "So I can examine you a bit." "Did you learn equations?" "Yeah, we did." "Great, excellent," "I would give you immediately such an example" "2a-(3b-5a)=a+b" "Dad, you must first remove the brackets and then you will" "I know what I will do." "But I am interested if you can do it too, well?" "I would, at first, remove the brackets." "Right." "And how?" "You will.." "I mean" "I will do it in this way" "I will imagine minus one before the brackets and I will multiply all the numbers in the brackets with it." "Wait, wait, don't brag so much about it" "How did you do it?" "Multiplying?" "If I wouldn't get it with that -1" "Then I will remember that when there is a minus before the brackets, then all the signs in the brackets will change into their opposites." "Oh!" "But, look before 3b there is no sign" "If there isn't one, then it's a +" "Ahaa!" "And, in this case 2a - 3b" "and so on and later?" "and then you will move a+b from the right to the left side." "And, how do you move from one side to the other?" "Do you examine me, or I examine you?" "You examine me." "that's why" "See, you are quite good with it." "But, don't rest on your laurels." "to be... why am I so stupid?" "to be yes" ""We jump against the bars"" ""you and us we'll smash them"" ""Against the bars we jump as lions"" ""and we will smash them definitely"" ""Against the bars we jump.."" "Daddy, leave that alone!" "It's 1:45 a.m." "Outratová!" "A short meeting of the studying commitee in the afternoon." "Yes." "Špaňha!" "A short meeting of the studying commitee in the afternoon." "Yeah!" "What's wrong with you?" "With me?" "Everything!" "I can't get sleep at nights." "You look all green to me." "Karel." "A short meeting of the studying commitee in the afternoon." "What's on the program, George?" "Grades." "Is it that transport?" "Rousek!" "A short meeting of the studying commitee in the afternoon." "Comrade Kroupa!" "Come and see!" "Look at it!" "Look at it!" "In order that the supervisor should not get down for every sheet of paper." "They put it here for him." "It goes up." "He signs it." "And then it goes down." "It's an internal telescopical transporter of the factory mail!" "At first - information about my success in school." "At the dictation" ""Fierce jackals howled grimly"" "we were the worst." "I compensated with reciting and Failed the poem - "As lions jump against the bars"" "Another failure." "And then it follows briefly:" "Equations with one unknown." "Failed." "Discontinuous functions." "Failed." "Physics" "Levers in balance." "Satisfactory." "See!" "Leave it alone." "What are the reasons for the crash..." "Wait, George." "You cannot speak so definitively about a crash." "You have just begun." "Obviously." "What are the reasons of the crash of the New York Stock Exchange." "Failed." "Presence of nitrogen in nature." "Satisfactory." "So and now tell me what do you plan to do with it." "Look, George." "Aren't you a bit passive in this school?" "My boy, for example is not an Einstein at all but he is first to collect recyclables." "And the teachers look at him differently." "It's possible that those wastes would have their role, but it's not important!" "My grades are important!" "Well," "I think that we must accept that those grades are not the ones that we promised, but I would not perceive it so dark." "The general view of the situation as you sketched it is not rosy at all." "Although and we must not overlook it and I would not agree with you there are some positive sprouts," "I mean that nice "Satisfactory" from nitrogen and those levers in balance, no?" "These are the first birds of spring." "You let those birds fly at your executive meetings." "Here we must recognize that I go under!" "And I ask you" "Isn't it the right moment that I, on my own, voluntarily and honourably quit school?" "Out of question." "Bullshit, no way." "As you wish." "I warned you." "So, we'll push this cart further." "Mr. Kroupa," "I brought you the literary analysis, but there are things, that me and my husband could not apprehend." "The first line is all clear." "The poet compares man to a lion in a cage." ""we yarn to fly up to the heavens"" "This means, as my husband says, that man would gladly fly to the stars, but he is prevented from it being earthbound." "Naturally, the Earth's gravity." "And here you can talk about people already flying to the stars." "Well!" "This is a bright idea!" "You'll hit it right at the heart, connecting it to present day." "And then, there are these hubristics, and we couldn't grasp it." ""Just a bit closer, you hubristic beings"" "Does somebody know what are hubristics?" "A hubristic?" "A hubristic is a beetle." "A beetle?" "A beetle." "It's a bug, that it rolls this in front of it, a tiny ball of that - of droppings." "You mean a pooper?" "Yes, a pooper, but but in biology they call it "hubristic"." "Five, failed." "How many dumplings do you want?" "Five." "Five?" "What?" "Dumplings?" "Six." "Five, failed." "Five or six, at last?" "Six dumplings." "My father has a five." "Flunked." "Nonsense, you know that Father eats at the factory." "Wait." "This is his paper, I found it at school." "This is horrible." "Look, here." "How's that possible that he cannot calculate?" "If he would allow me to explain, but no." "Have a look!" "the one he examined me with and how does he transfer it?" "X, wow" "He is a bonehead." "It's too much for him." "I am afraid that he will go crazy." "In nighttime he beats his head against the wardrobe." "He shouts in sleep "We come!" "We come!"" "He shouldn't have gone to this school" "It's not for him." "Come on, if some Hujer can do it." "Is this from you, Hujer?" "No" "I know nothing about it." "I brought it." "It's recyclables." "What is it?" "Old paper, about 15 kg (33 lbs.)" "See, we did not count on it, that you would also join, why not." "If you are into it then but in this case it would be necessary to elect a team leader for recyclables." "Please, I would get involved." "I would dedicate a separate notebook to it." "See?" "Dad won't raise a hand and won't raise a hand." "Hey, he already did raise it." "He talks a lot." "Hey, hey, do you see it?" "And he's stuck." "See how he scratches his nose?" "He does this when he's lost." "The poet wants to express that man is still small and compares him to hubristics." "This is an unusual word, isn't it?" "So, what is it?" "A hubristic is a beetle, dung roller, who rolls its small ball between earth lumps." "First, we don't say "a hubristic"" "but a "hubristic being"" "and then your explanation of the word is rather extravagant." "Is there someone that thinks the same way?" "Except Maleček and Hustoles." "See, Hustoles, we can't believe it." "Well, is someone on the same opinion?" "Yes." "Great." "Though, it's not quite right." "Does somebody know the true meaning of "hubristic being"?" "Plha is raising a hand." "Well?" "Mlha?" "Please, I have a question." "Please I, in this poem stumbled upon a word that I don't understand." "Which word?" "The word" ""a hubristic"." "I have never heard it." "But we are talking more than 15 min." "about it, Mlha." "They have it entertaining there." "Come." "We must go home." "Hey, Hrbola takes out his notebook." "Oh, yeah." "I hear him already" ""What should I do with you, boy?"" ""You did not make me happy and I won't make you happy also."" "What should I do with you, boy?" "You did not make me happy and I won't make you happy also." "Satisfactory." "Good night, Kroupa!" "Good night" "Mr. Kroupa." "Yes, please." "They gave us a hard time." "My God, such a warm evening." "It's quite wonderful for a walk." "Yeah." "Go for it." "I'll go home and open a window and a beer." "Good night." "George!" "George!" "What is it?" "I have to admit something to you." "What?" "I knew that "hubristic"" "was not a poop beetle." "I said it because I felt sorry for you." "You were facing it so lonely." "Whom?" "That beetle of yours." "But this is not my beetle." "Hora, that fool, gave me this advice." "Nobody stood up for you." "There was nobody that you could rely upon, and" "I rushed to help you." "Look, Mrs Týfová, you are a very sympathetic lady and I feel flattered by your interest in me, but don't you feel that we are not 20 anymore?" "You think that we are so old?" "Certainly not." "But with distant birthdays." "Good night." "The pooper beetle!" "Stop!" "You!" "You!" "Thank you frankly for the help." "You cannot possibly imagine my success." "With your knowledge." "But I did think that it was a beetle, yes." "And if you have another brilliant idea, share it." "I will brag about it at school." "We collected this from all around the offices." "There is about 40 kg (18 lbs.)" "This is great!" "Great help!" "The recyclables team leader with the highest quantity will be rewarded." "Last time we detected metal elements in solutions." "Please, pay attention." "So," "And now we'll test if there is sodium inside." "Attention," "We'll meet at the cemetery." "G.K." "The liquid is being coloured." "Calm." "Don't disturb." "And we'll prepare another solution." "So," "and, hm" "carefully, carefully, in this manner" "Silence." "Don't disturb." "What's your name?" "Matula" "What dou you carry?" "I don't know." "And now we'll detect the presence of potassium." "Knock." "Knock." "Silence." "Don't disturb." "Take!" "It is dissolving." "What's with you today?" "Please, comrade Professor, there is a student from another class." "What?" "Are you here a long time?" "Aha." "What are you saying?" "Are you here a long time?" "Yes, please." "Let me see what you've got." "Who sent you with this?" "The comrade Director." "And you have to give it to me?" "You have to write it on the blackboard." "Write down:" "Thanks, bye." "Bye." "A meeting with parents and friends of the School, 20th 19:00 The Headmaster" "This should not be valid vor us, this" "Why not?" "Just write it down." "Everybody, write it down." "Kroupa, they must be out of their mind!" "My parents are in Kojčice, this is far away, at Pelhřimov." "Such a distance, and now travelling is not for free, too." "But it's totally logical." "Our families must be informed of our progress in school." "Sit down." "Plha is raising a hand." "PLease, I have a question." "This message on the board, about the parents' meeting, is it valid for us?" "The orders of the headmaster are always valid." "But no, this is too much..." "Don't forget that at 50, one learns with an effort." "It doesn't get so easy in the head." "I wouldn't criticize him for his difficulties." "You have troubles on your mind, don't you?" "Something else is bothering me." "I promise myself, that if I am to have kids," "If we are going to have kids." "If we are going to have kids." "then I won't be ashamed to ask" "Do you want twins?" "Wait." "Shortly, if we were to have kids" "I won't ever be ashamed to ask" "Hey, Pete..." "No, not Pete!" "OK, then, hey Theophilus," "I can't solve equations with two unknowns, please explain." "And, and he will explain." "If this Theophilus is after me, then he won't be able to." "Two circles in a plain may have two intersection points one intersection point or none at all." "In the first case, the sum of the radiuses is smaller than the distance between centres." "and the difference between radiuses is smaller than the distance between centres." "In the second case, the distance between the centres is equal to the sum of the radiuses." "In the third case..." "Listen to him." "If for A, for A if the sum of the radiuses is smaller than the distance between the centres" "And the difference of the radiuses is greater or equal to the distance between the centres of the circles." "In this case, one of the circles is situated inside the other." "Basically it was right, except for a small inaccuracy." "Come and draw it, so we can see it graphically." "Please." "What happened, who went out?" "Týfová was not feeling well." "Please, go and have a look." "I am going." "What happened to you?" "Who sent you this?" "Kroupa." "What a cynic." "Asshole." "Kroupa, lend me the drafting compass." "I need it." "Come on, draw with a coin." "Don't you have your own?" "Why don't you buy one?" "I welcome you." "I welcome you, comrades." "I welcome you." "Welcome" "You must have come to see our factory?" "Please, tell me what would be your interest in us." "So," "I am in charge here in general" "respectively quite soon." "My name is Hujer," "Hujer" "Well, so" "Here, behind me, you see this is the old workshop and there we are building a new one entirely automatic and it will be, will be the beating heart of our plant." "You have ecountered our machines in the fields and you didn't expect that bolt by bolt, the Holy Truth, was born here." "And there, it is the sprout of the new one." "He was asking about you" "What do you do, what obligations" "How was his name, again?" "Týfa, engineer Týfa." "I don't know Týfa." "I go with Týfová to school." "So dear friends, I welcome you to our factory. [translation in Romanian]" "This is our deputy Director Kalivoda." "My name is Kroupa and I am the supervisor." "Hujer, mind your job!" "Hi, Daddy." "Hi." "What's up?" "Did you do something to Mum?" "Me?" "No." "Why?" "She behaves strangely." "Doesn't speak, just walks around" "shines the mirrors and disappears again." "Maybe she wants them clean." "Come on, they are shiny like a..." "Didn't she say something before?" "Nothing interesting." "Although," "Somebody, engineer Týfa called and when she put down the phone, she looked haunted." "Man, this doesn't" "look good." "It doesn't come" "by itself." "Did you ask her?" "I asked, but she would say the same - nothing!" "Mommy, why do you shine those mirrors all the time?" "In order to see by yourself what a prick you are." "Oh, well, must we deal with such problems even among grown ups." "If I am concerned, Mr. Director" "I would throw it in the bin, but the husband of Mrs. Týfová insists that we elaborate on this and for Kroupa to apologize." "Hi, Kroupa." "Did they call you too?" "No, where?" "I am going to Latin." "Where did they call you?" "To the Director." "What do they want?" "About those poor grades in math they will suggest that I leave school." "And I'll say to Hrbolek that Latin is not for me." ""laudo, laudare"" "What to do with this at the drill mill." "I cannot imagine at all how should we discuss it with him" "Enter!" "Good afternoon" "I am Kroupa" "They told me that I come here." "Sit down, comrade Kroupa." "Thank you." "Listen, I don't know if you are aware of the reason why you have been invited" "Well," "I can guess." "So, it would be easier to talk about it." "I certainly don't think that you have planned it" "I did not plan anything, I was" "I was persuaded to do it." "Who persuaded you?" "Hora," "Outratová, Rousek" "Write down those names!" "You cannot possibly know them, they are from the factory and I would appreciate if they don't get trouble from this." "They had good intentions." "I also think that it was rather a misunderstanding, than" "Well," "I told them immediately, that it doesn't make sense." "And I am ready to drop it immediately." "We consider it obvious, that you won't repeat it ever." "And it would be necessary for you to apologize." "It's enough that I go away, what apology do you need?" "If I have insulted you personally, because I've been here, please accept my deepest apologies." "Wait, comrade Kroupa." "We don't understand each other." "Nobody wants from you to quit school." "But the lady comrade was clear about it." "It's only about dealing with the note to Mrs. Týfová with some tact." "Yes." "Exactly." "We are maybe the same age aren't we?" "Isn't it a bit boyish at our age." "This comrade husband, this Tyfa, he rightfully considers it an insult." "First, you tell her in the eye that she's old, and later write to her" ""We'll meet at the cemetery."" "It is cynical." "Look, the International Day of Women is approaching." "You gave her a nice gift." "This piece of paper" "I see for the first time in my life." "You cannot talk?" "You must write letters to each other?" ""At the cemetery"!" "Such, such shame!" "And I have to run around and explain!" "As if I don't have worries of my own." "Please, don't shout." "Good afternoon." "Hi." "They called me to the Headmaster's office investigating as if I were some kind of a rascal." "Wait, it's here somewhere." "Hey, 84" "Ring." "Emil!" "The bell!" "Open!" "What is it, darling?" "Don't you see that I am in the sauna?" "I am studying! Eh, do you see?" ""A happy home"" "And you nearly destroyed it." "Oh, my God!" "He's naked!" "Poor Mrs. Týfová." "Are you looking for someone?" "I am Kroupa." "Aha." "A fellow student of your wife." "And this is my son who came here to explain something." "Aha." "Aha." "Please." "Obviously." "I'll open the door." "Come inside." "It's not necessary." "We'll do it quickly." "It would be more appropriate, if I understand it well, if it's about that apology, that my wife would be present too." "It's not an apology, but an explanation." "What is your name?" "George Kroupa." "Pay attention, please, that he has the same initials as me:" "G.K." "Whom did you write that note to?" "A girl from our class." "What is her name?" "Eva Tůmová." "Take into account, please - "Eva." "T."" "What did you write in that note?" "We'll meet at the cemetery." "Did you intend to suggest that she is old, about to die?" "No." "What did you think about?" "Well, that, to come to the cemetery." "We usually meet there." "Pay attention, please, that my son is dating a girl schoolmate at the cemetery, among the graves." "So, if I understand it well," "Yes, you understand it quite well " "I did not write that note at all and it was not addressed to your wife, whom I greet from my heart." "It was a pleasure." "I was honoured." "Come." "Týfa took it with dignity, as Cicero, nearly naked." "George explained everything." "and now everything is in ultimate order." "Wait, now I see you have a girlfriend!" "Yes, I have." "And how old are you?" "You, boy!" "When I was as old as you are..." "But, Daddy." "I did not finish." "What?" "When I was old as you are now," "I also did have, naturally, a girlfriend." "I have to go." "It's high time." "Mom, is this brown sweater OK?" "Yes." "So, you also are going out?" "We go to parents meeting." "It's enough that I'll be there, no?" "We are going to ask about you, Daddy." "I spoke to Mrs. Tuček and to Mrs. Šlajs." "Everybody is coming." "Please, this is completely unnecessary," "I tell everything at home." "Come on, we'll do it gladly." "We don't need the school to tell us that we are not interested in you." "What are you saying?" "They won't let you in, look," "Here" ""A parents and friends of the school meeting"" "Are you some parent?" "I am a friend of the school." "He'll solve the example, but often will make a simple mistake from haste." "His grades are quite decent:" "arithmetic:" "Excellent, Excellent- and Satisfactory, just as I said" "And George Kroupa, if you'll be kind," "Mr. Professor." "Sorry, it closed." "Kroupa knows math, it's in order." "Here he is." "Although, lately, I haven't noticed," "Test Failed, again Failed, orally Satisfactory" "These are maybe my grades, Mr. Professor." "Ha-ha." "Yes" "Wrong page." "This is about another student from another class." "He's good, as I say." "Very good, Excellent, Excellent" "You can be satisfied." "I know." "With the son." "Please, colleague, for a moment." "Excuse me." "Did you call them?" "Who?" "The family members." "These here?" "No, those old ladies, children, brothers-in-law of the students from the evening school" "I know nothing." "Didn't you notice the crowd in the corridors?" "I sent them to the drawing room." "Now, they are sitting and waiting." "Please, comrades, he did not call them, what shall we do?" "I think that Janda as a class teacher should take care of it." "But I am not ready here." "It doesn't matter, please finish it quickly" "Yes." "and I will calm them down." "And you in your classes, also give it some speed and come quickly there." "and give info on grades, and etc." "But I don't understand..." "Speed it up, speed it up!" "Please, please." "Yes." "Dear friends," "I, as a headmaster, would like to express my satisfaction, that you have come here, in such great numbers." "Believe, we did not expect it." "Although we suspected it, when we prepared for it, that it won't pass unnoticed." "You know, the cooperation of school and family is very imortant." "It is not only about basic behaviour, formation of the individual, but also for some known issues not very noticeable, but important details," "Look," "They would often go dirty to school." "I have instructed the comrade janitor that the most notorious slatterns, excuse my language, he would pull for the ears and take back home." "Obviously, it concerns younger students, especially." "And, here, this was my introduction." "And here we have the class teacher and he will deal with it by himself and will be more precise." "Please." "What class are you looking for?" "Good evening." "I received a letter from my nephew that there was a meeting" "What's his name?" "Hujer." "He attends the evening school." "Here, behind the corner, in the drawing room." "Thank you." "You are very kind." "Please." "Please, sir." "Where is Hujer's class?" "Stairs up and right." "It's the drawing room." "Thank you." "What are you doing here?" "We come for uncle Hujer." "We want to ask..." "Next floor, drawing room." "Excuse me..." "Hujer." "Next floor, drawing room." "I cannot make any compromise" "At this school the technical subjects are the most important." "And you?" "Hujer, Robert." "The older brother of Viktor Hujer." "Hujer, he is a very dedicated student, but his ability of independent thinking is weaker but his diligence, untamed, he will get the grades, don't worry." "What did he say?" "That he'll graduate." "You?" "I am Zelenková, Hujer's sister." "Well, you've heard it." "You?" "I am Hujerová." "Wife?" "No, I am the wife." "I am his sister-in-law." "You?" "I am his cousin." "And you?" "Hujerová, wife." "But the wife is..." "I am from the first marriage." "OK, then" "So, that everyone can hear me." "What is the Hujers' range?" "Hujer?" "Does he study here?" "Hey, Máňa!" "From Čáslav!" "Silence, please!" "Sit." "You are?" "From Kojčice, near Pelhřimov." "And who are you interested in?" "Our son." "Plha," "Mr. Teacher." "He is "Very good"." "Very good." "Very good." "Let's go." "God bless you." "Hello." "What's for dinner." "Come." "I asked about you." "You are OK with math and then you have a Good in history." "You'll have to fix it." "So what?" "Will there be a soup?" "Wait, father." "We asked about you." "And we won't eat because of it?" "Aren't you interested how it went?" "Of course." "Turnout was abundant, yes?" "14 people came for Hujer." "Wait, seriously, it's tragic for you in math" "I know, this is no big news," "You could ask me and not go to school." "I don't want to keep you accountable for it, but" "It's the last thing that would happen that you keep me accountable, what?" "Let George speak, please." "As if somebody is stopping him." "Please talk, so that your mother won't go crazy." "Come, we'll learn together." "Every evening, two hours or three, well?" "It's only about mathematics." "Father, think about it the boy means only well." "Well," "You are very kind, sonny but with this" "I must deal alone, you know that we would fight and that I would be nervous." "And then you have your own issues." "Get better with history." "It's also important because, if someone doesn't know history, it's worse than not knowing biology." "You are so stubborn!" "I shouln't give you any soup." "As you wish!" "I can go to a restaurant." "I still have enough for a soup!" "Hujer," "One minute before break's end you must tell Janda to come to class" "Maybe his watch is broken." "Me?" "Why me exactly?" "He said that you are the most trustworthy" "True." "But, I'll have to..." "Oh, yes." "Not to make a mistake." "You know what to do." "2 min. 30 sec.!" "Better go." "Enter." "Enter." "Comrade Professor, there is a minute to class." "And what?" "The class will start." "Yes." "Yes." "It's time, we must go." "Listen, Hujer," "I can't say you lack diligence, but at the moment it is almost insolence." "Is it fast?" "I set them this morning to the radio." "He's coming!" "Hujer, how come that your things are not ready?" "I had to remind you, and had no time." "Please, excuse me, I otherwise always..." "Next time, take care of yourself." "I will take care of my duties." "Everybody sit." "Thanks, I have my own." "Kroupa to the blackboard, please!" "You have an angle Beta..." "No, I don't have." "You have an angle Beta, and sides A and B" "Draw a triangle." "Side A" "And now we draw side" "side" "side B." "Side B." "How do you know that side B goes this way?" "I don't see the angle." "Plha is raising a hand." "I have a question." "How could he know that side B will go this way?" "Please, sit." "Comrade Kroupa, these are basic things." "You must know this unconditionally." "By the way, not to forget" "Yesterday at the council we agreed that those students, who feel that they won't make it through school" "I don't mean directly you," "Have the possibility to leave school on their own desire." "in order to avoid the unpleasant fact of dropping out." "What are you doing?" "Feeding them." "Don't you want something for them?" "No." "Yeah, I wanted to..." "Listen, let's not speak generally about two hours of learning together it has to make sense" "I was thinking what would you say about" "between 8 and 10 in the evenings?" "Is it OK with you?" "Is it?" "If not, then tell me." "Don't you smoke?" "No." "When I smoke, I throw up" "You, Hujer." "Šlajs knows about a locomotive." "Come on!" "Don't you say anything about a locomotive." "This is again some kind of a joke." "No, Really, Šlajs found it." "An old one." "And if we take it for the recyclables," "I know your ideas." "You are... like little kids" "Don't be an asshole, this is 20 t. of iron." "Immediately, it's first place in the republic in recyclables." "Really." "Bring it." "I'll weight it and write it down." "You don't want it?" "OK" "You could have won a bycicle." "A bycicle!" "Stand up, Kroupa!" "Sit down!" "Stand up!" "Yes, please?" "No, nothing." "Sorry." "What is it?" "You had a crazy night, didn't you?" "I study at night with my son and then get up at 5." "Oh, yeah." "Yeah, yeah." "Please." "Hujer Fruits and Vegetables" "I took" "Silence." "Don't disturb!" "I took the liberty if you won't feel insulted" "Thank you, Hujer." "Thank you." "And now, we'll detect the presence of aluminium." "Aluminum moved to Humpolec." "What is a logarithm of a product?" "Logarithm of a product is equal to the sum of the logarithm of the [yawning]" "But, dad." "Factors!" "It's a multiplication!" "I did say "factors"." "I said it like a bit differnet" "I am learning this words, well?" "Don't cheat!" "On the writing test you'll be on your own." "I am not cheating." "So, listen." "What did I say?" "factor or term?" "Term." "Now you see." "You suspect me wrongly and I actually said" ""Chinese"" "So, how did you do that test?" "Well," "I solved everything." "George said that I did well." "If there wasn't some trap, then it would be fine." "Let's hope." "It was a hard test." "A hard one!" "I had a lot of work with it." "The test did not turn out the best." "A lot of good students disappointed me." "Svátek." "Good." "Tuček, Šlajs." "Satisfactory." "Same mistakes, same grades." "On the other hand, some poor students," "Kroupa," "Take your logarithmical tables and come here." "What is the result of logarithm" "Please, if Plha may hand me the glasses." "of 3457 x 40876 / 7222" "Please, lend me those tables." "You give the pen, I give the tables." "It's correct." "You really know it." "Do you know your result from the test?" "I don't dare guessing." "Excellent." "We study together with my son." "Great." "Greet him from me." "Thank you." "Look," "I'll tell you this is quite good." "It's not bad." "Though, a Good in history?" "It's a shame." "Look my grade in history!" "But you don't have it at all, Dad." "No?" "It's a pity." "I would shine then, little one." "The burning of Jan Hus - 1415" "My God, your behaviour is Excellent." "I thought it was Very good." "You aslo have it Excellent." "Yes, it's all right." "Well, Dad, there is this Satisfactory in math, but we'll fix it." "It's not bad at all." "And you also go to work, you deserve a praise." "Mom, did you hear that?" "Pour the soup." "I think that we fully deserve it." "I said "fully", Mommy." "Full." "What's up, George?" "Got comfortable already?" "I would rather not get too comfortable here." "Let's see the final tests." "It would be fine." "The beginning is the most difficult."
