" Nóri just checked the spelling..." " We all of us know what Nóri did for that book." "Shall we just leave it at that?" "Okay, so why don't you get her to write the whole thing?" "If only I could!" "But, we have advertised your sorry book for Book Week." "For the third time." "Our friend, David, has been working on a new book since yesterday."

"And please, never call me, Meringue!" "You used to like it." "I used to like Baby Daddy as well." "It's better if you stick to the simple, standard questions like "what job do you do?" or..." ""what are the three most important things you'd say about yourself?"" " Get it, Casanova?" " What are you grinning at?" "Still better than a peaceful harbor." "Hey, that stuff's dangerous." "You're going to have a load of horny women following you home." "It makes me shiver to think." "Hey, I'm up for it." "It might even do you some good." "Oh no, and the sanctity of my private life?"

"...That's all!" " Thanks!" "Thanks and let's give Lenke a hand." " Thank You!" " Lenke, here's your badge." "Take your place on the girls' side." "Ouch, Lenke!" "I can see three gents have arrived a little late and a couple of them are new." " Girls!" " Hi!" "Can the new boys please come up onto the stage?" "What good-looking boys, and both single?" "Yes, you know, today's girls are so..." "But you've come to the best place." "Rapid dating will solve all your problems, and if today's date doesn't work out, the next session is free." "Introduce yourselves, boys." "Péter Pázmány." "Pál Pázmány." "Tells us something about yourself, Pál!" "Okay." "Hi!" "My name's Pál or Pali and I've already met my girlfriend on the internet." "She's a stewardess and we haven't met in person yet but we chat for about two hours a day." " Really?" " Really." "You didn't say." " Please?" " That's not why we're here." " What's her name?" " Trinity." " But here something..." " Trinity?" "Lovely, traditional, Hungarian name." "If something should work out for me?" "It was about time." "You're thirty and still a virgin." "I'm not a virgin!" "I'm sorry!" "No, I mean..." " I'm not technically a virgin." " Good, good, thanks." "Thanks for that short and sweet introduction." "Let's give Pali a hand." "Here's your badge and please sit on the boys' side." "Please, tell us something about yourself, Péter." "Hello, my name's Péter." "I'm interested in all solutions." "I can see that the bloke at the back has had a Jacuzzi." "The Vampire sucks good, doesn't it?" "Let's give Péter a hand." "Here's your badge, and go and sit in the boys' line, please." "Thanks for the introduction." "I'd just like to go through some of the rules for the newcomers." "Each date lasts for five minutes, and after five minutes we change partners." "When I say: "change"." "So "change" and the gong like this." "You're not allowed to upset your partner with sexually sensitive topics." "Please stay polite and respectful." "Because we will have to expel anyone who breaks the rules." "Is everything clear?" "Okay, then let's start!" "Don't forget that there is a salsa party here, every Sunday." " Hello, I'm Ramóna." " Hi!" "My boyfriend left me, because he said," "I didn't have my own opinion about anything." "Well I told him, that... really, really, I have to agree with him." "Ramóna..." "Be waiting, only the chair..." "I put on the chair..." "Change!" "What do you do?" " Hi, my name's Dalma." " Hi, I'm Pali." "So, Pál." "I'm not really a dating type." "I don't have time for a serious relationship." "That's bad." "Change!" "Change!" "I like to read, go walking, to sing psalms, go walking, I've said that." "I'm a virgin." "What did you say?" "I like reading, walk..." "No, what did you say at the end?" "Oh, I'm a virgin." "So you're interested in astrology?" "You really are a virgin." "You remind me of my first girlfriend." "Was she a virgin too?" "Yes." "She was on the first date." " Okay, I'll move over." " Wait!" "You came to meet people, didn't you?" "I'm looking for a husband." "And you came straight to a rapid date?" "I thought it would be better to get it over with as soon as possible." "Of course, great idea, Lenke." "Others waste years and you get stuck straight in." "My parents have already found me someone." "He's a really good man, but his collar is always dandruff, and..." "I don't like the way he kisses me." "I see." "Your parents don't know that you come here, do they?" "Well, no." "I told them that I was going to a sewing circle." "I've been coming twice a week, but no one has wanted to date me yet." "Maybe you should take it one step at a time." "You can't attack a bloke on the first date with an offer of marriage." "This is my best birthday ever!" " What, Mum?" " Well..." "You did think of me after all?" "My little Beni!" "Thank you!" "You're welcome." "I'm going to try it." "What?" "Okay." "So our friend, the second-class heartbreaker, now in possession of a major experience and a vacuum cleaner answering to the name of "Vampire", makes a fortunate escape while the appealing couple, both as his hosts and accomplished vacuum cleaner managers," "wave after him." "The moment had arrived when our hero realized that he had reached an important turning point in his life..." " He hurried to ask himself..." " Come in!" "...whether or not false nails are an aesthetic issue a telltale sign or perhaps a character fault." "Hang on, what was that?" " What was what?" " You nearly smiled." "I'm in a good mood." " Here." " Thanks." "So can we start with a clean sheet?" "Yes." "Sorry." "I was moody yesterday and the day before, but I just keep thinking about my trip." "Registering, packing, standing in line." " Because you're really moving to Brussels?" " Yes." "And now what?" "Nothing." "It's just odd." "It took you months to decide whether to move to the next street." "I've changed." "So much?" "Three years is a long time." "You're the living proof of that." "When I met you, you were a very kind, sensitive bloke." "But ever since you've become a media personality..." "And what are you going to do in Brussels?" "I've been given a job in the department of culture." "Jesus, when did you get so serious?" "When I realized it was time that I grew up." "You really have changed." "I leave on Saturday." "I wouldn't have normally taken work while," "I was moving but the truth is that I owe the company a tiny favor." "Ah!" "She's blackmailing you as well?" "But what about?" "Did you break the coffee machine?" "Sorry." "How are you getting on with the book?" "Fine." "Do you like it?" "Well, you did ask." "The "Ten dates" trick humiliates the single women living in the city whom it should speak to or talk about." "It's a cheap attempt to profit from the suffering of others." "The publisher is immoral, the writer's a chauvinist, and the editor will spit on her reflection until the day she dies." "But I really enjoyed myself, when I was typing it up." "Did you really buy that Hoover and where are you going today?" "Where are you going today?" "One-two-three-five-six-seven..." "One-two-three-five-six-seven..." "Great!" "Smile everyone!" "Bottoms moving, that's it!" "I want to see all your teeth." "That's it!" "The salsa is a Cuban dance." "A four-four dance." "It's about passion, emotion." "Great, watch!" "The one in the white shirt in the second row, that's it..." "Listen up!" "Have you sweated enough yet?" "Can't hear you!" "Yes?" "All choose a partner!" "Okay!" "Listen up!" "One-two-three-five-six-seven." "Great!" "Do it!" "Very good!" "Hello?" "Hi, baby!" "Shure." "Onto 11, I am at home." "Right, okay." "Bye!" "Great!" "Attention!" "Look into each other's eyes." "Everything else disappears, you're just left with your partner's eyes." "That's it!" "One-two-three five-six-seven." "Change partners!" "Oh, fine!" " Do you know that you really look like someone?" " Who?" "That charming writer." "Yes, don't." "He's just taller." "What's the problem?" "Are you angry?" "Yes, I'm really angry." "I'm outraged about by the fact that such a good women lives on her own." "Is there a problem?" "Don't do that." "Don't provoke me, okay?" "You're very naughty." "Have you ever been engaged?" "Six times." "The last time was last year." "My mother reckons they based "Runaway Bride" on me." "I was eighteen, when my first boyfriend proposed." "I chucked him." "The next one was two years later." "Then there was an English businessman, Kevin." "The engagement was at Big Ben." "The bells played the wedding march." "A plane wrote "marry me" in the sky." "Really?" "We broke up two weeks later." "And why do you always run away?" "I'm frightened of getting attached?" "I don't like thinking that my life has come to an end." "But let's forget it, okay?" "Don't do that, because it'll drive me mad." "This is great, is it from the Matrix?" "Yeah." "Are you a stewardess?" "I prefer to be called a flight attendant." "I'm fine, Captain." "This is an emergency landing." "The nearest emergency exit..." "Ah, hello!" "I need your advice." "Seize the day." "No, something specific." "Why, isn't that specific enough?" "I want to meet her." "Who with?" " The chat girl?" " Yes." "What did you say her name is?" " Trinity!" " Trinity." " Like in "The Matrix"?" " And she loves Quimby like I do." "Hang on!" "Listen!" "Have you ever stopped to think what would happen if Trinity... didn't turn out to quite as sweet as she first seemed?" "What?" "An unbearable drunken bitch, who dragged a new man into her bed every night?" "Ah, you mean just like you but a woman?" "Hold on, did you need my advice or not?" " Was that your advice?" " Yeah!" "Okay, okay." "Where have you been?" " In the city." " With Nóri?" " Why?" " No, nothing." "She just phoned to suggest the three of us get together, this evening and go out somewhere." "Just like the good, old days." "We could." "Are you after her again?" "Nóri?" "No!" "She's thrown me out once." "I'm not an stupid!" "It's because you kept cheating on her and you couldn't sit on your arse." "And for just one night?" "No ties?" "Just one night." "Look You can always fit in a quick shag." " With Nóri as well?" " With Nóri as well." "Okay, but be careful, you don't break her heart." "That's impossible, she hasn't got one." "Why is everyone in black?" " It's a long story." " Are you into this music?" "Of course." "I'm mad about them and I go to all their concerts." " Hello, hi!" " And when you're not?" "I'm a bag and a jewel maker." "Let's go somewhere quiet instead?" "You can have a juice and we can chat." "Do not make a face." "Come, let us go to dance!" " You can't dance to this." " Of course you can, come on!" "I think Anna really deserves her fate." "How could she trust in the count for a single minute?" "Because, she loved him." "Nóri, it is not possible for two people to love each other but you don't know that, because you haven't got a heart." "Ah, but I have got a heart, but I can control it with my mind." "Hey, Beni's right." "When was the last time you did something because it felt good?" "Not because you should or because it was useful but because it felt good." "Okay, I'm going to Brussels, because it feels good." "Okay, but I wasn't thinking of something that trivial but something more important." "When did you do something crazy?" " Am I today's topic?" " Why, should it be me instead?" " Sorry!" " Thanks." "Okay, if I'm the topic..." "I think we should try to achieve the best possible." "Just because one bloke is better than another, it doesn't mean that I have to go and jump into bed with him." "He has to be the best possible." "And how many "best possible" have you found after me?" "That's private." "Okay, I just want to get to know more about women." "If I happen to be writing a book about them." "All three of us know, that you are only interested in women in one position." "Really?" "That is interesting." "There are about nine for you." "Will you shut up?" "You're just like your own parents." "Okay, let's listen to the head boy." "Thank you." "Love isn't about control." " No?" " No." " And it's not about mental manipulation." " No?" "No!" "Love is about honest and open emotions." "And however many times it's been hurt, you have to open your heart up again and again." "Beni, how many joints have you smoked today?" "What you said was beautiful." "You are not beautiful already." "What you said was beautiful." "Did you read it somewhere?" "Okay, let's go!" " Okay, let's go." " Aren't we staying?" " Let's stay!" " Then I'll stay too." " Shall we go?" " Let's go!" "Bye, Beni!" "See you at home." " Come on!" " Okay." "What's this?" "A last adventure before Brussels?" "You know, I hate crowds." "So, what happened was that there was this French novel, a load of rubbish, and Angi asked me to translate it into Hungarian and I did." "Only not on a courtly, like that, was expected from me." " You rewrote it a bit?" " Yes." "The French publisher found out and sued us." "This is where the debt comes from." "And the blackmail." " What?" " Nothing." "Simply..." "Your wonky, little teeth." "So much I missed them." " I missed you." " Let's drop that." "And what have you been doing for the last three years?" "Why isn't there a new book?" " Who's asking?" "Angi?" " I'm asking." "Are you checking up on me?" "Friendly curiosity." "Oh..." "Are we friends?" "I spent the first year advertising the book." "Giving interviews." "Appearing on the shopping channel." "I spent the second year resting." "The third year..." "The third year just slipped by without me even noticing." "Did you try to write?" "Of course, I tried, but somehow..." "You blocked." "You panicked!" "Yes." "You were frightened that whatever you wrote, ...it couldn't live up to "Bakelite"." "You were frightened, that..." "Your grave would bear the inscription:" ""Dávid Debreceni, who wrote one book"." "Well, really not too I would call it a fear." "But some kind of... for terror." "Something is expected of me... that I don't want to do... and that I don't think I will be able to achieve." "Familiar." "That was the problem with us too, wasn't it?" "I wanted too much, and you kept backing off." "Do you think that sounds mad?" "Why, do you think it does?" "We shouldn't." "Never again." "But why not?" "Because, I'm..." "Because, I'm getting married next Sunday." "Nóri!" "Who to?" " Is it a secret?" " Not important." "What's his name?" "He must have a name." "Alex..." "Alex Vronsky." "I'm leaving." "Good afternoon!" "It's as if your thoughts are somewhere else." "No, I'm just thinking that it must be hard for you to find the right partner." "Just like you." "I can find a veggie easy enough, but I'm a tantric vegetarian, that tends to complicate matters." "I understand." "I mean I don't understand." "The tantra teaches that sex forms the basis of our whole being." "I have to agree." "But not just enjoyment, but a path to our higher selves, as a man's and woman's energies fuse in a kind of cosmic orgasm." "And this the..." "Do you have cosmic orgasms on a regular basis?" "Do you think I'd be sitting here if I did?" "You're not a veggie are you?" "Well, no, not really." "We could still give it a go, it might just work." "What?" "A cosmic orgasm." "Wow..." "I don't know." "It's a tempting offer... but... there's this girl..." "Oh, my friend!" "That's love." "Why are you sitting here like a fool?" "The tantra teaches us to seize the day!" "Here, it is!" "Run!" "And enjoy a cosmic orgasm." "Then call me and tell me what it was like." "Oh, and pay the bill!" "Hi, Little Man!" " Hi!" " Have a sip of grass juice." "This is very choice!" " Jesus, did you really eat here?" " Just hay." "The straw hasn't arrived yet." "Why did I have to rush over here from the other side of town?" "You said it was an emergency." "Where is it?" "I can't see it." "Yesterday..." "I strolled along the Danube with Nóri." "We are there!" "No, it wasn't that sort of date." " Did you kiss her?" " No!" "I mean, yes, but it was a sibling kiss." "Siblings don't kiss." "She's marrying some Russian bloke, on Sunday?" "So what's the problem?" "Emergency solved." "What?" "Doesn't he miss his dad?" "Don't mention that idiotic swindler, because I'll go mad." "You still love him." "You know me, I like a challenge." "Do you know how much easier it would be to hate him?" "I tried to... but then I remembered how he woke up in the morning with the creases of the pillow on his face." "And he had the inquisitive look of a child." "Perhaps I don't miss him just moments like that." "Listen, I'm not used to being asked questions." "You did not say that I may have a date, with strange women simply." "Well..." "What number am I?" "Hang on..." "Six and a half." "Nice, round number." "And I guess I'm the only one who brought her kid along." "The only one." "And the prettiest." "And the cleverest." "More!" "And the sweetest." "Well now I've cried all my makeup off, ...I'll go and fix it up." "I'll order one in a minute, okay?" "You're not much of a chatterbox." "It's good talking to you." "Oh, my God!" "This woman collapsed!" "Call an ambulance!" "How is she?" "Panic attack." "She went to the bathroom and fainted." "I'm afraid it was my fault." "I didn't know she had a panic problem." "Neither did she." "What did you say to her?" "It's not important now." "Good night." " Thanks for looking after him." " No problem." " Well." "I'll..." " Yes?" " Bye." " Bye." " Hello, daddy!" " Meringue!" "Well..." "How are you?" "What are you reading?" ""Distant Shore"." " Give me that!" " I found it on the table." " You never told me you write." " Because I don't!" "But this looks a lot like a novel..." " This is a very good novel at that." " Do you like it?" "Yes, a lot." "I've only flicked through, but I'd like to read it properly." "Okay?" "There is one scene that I don't like." "Seriously, right at the end, it's slushy." "Rowing on the Danube?" "It is just a bit too much." "That's why I haven't shown it to anyone." "Nóri!" "You can't go to Brussels." "You'd be making the biggest mistake of your life." "You can't be stuck in an office." "You have to write it!" " This emerges from this much." " Why are you doing this?" "What?" "Why are you wrapping me around your little finger?" "So that you can get bored again and cheat on me?" "Nóri!" "How have we gone from a kiss to a cross-examination?" " Oh, is it one of those moments?" " What sort of moment?" "When your mind controls your heart." "What do you want from me?" "I want to prove to you that I'm the best." "The best possible." "Just trust me." "Will you try to trust me?" "Yes." "Dad, cider vinegar would be needed!" "Anyway good to watch, you are busy." "But why don't you do this at home?" "Husband?" "Kids?" "That kind of thing?" "No time at the minute." "Own company, lots of work, large projects." "So don't you come here to meet people?" "Not really." "Perhaps, if someone should come along," "I wouldn't protest." "Fine." "That's right!" "That's it!" "Shit!" "Good we walked back." "I'm hungry again." " No!" " Yes!" " You don't want to work now, do you?" " Have to." "I'm behind." "Should I make the food we learned?" " Come on!" " Okay!" " Be waiting, I take this off, because I reek of the oil." " Ok." "...this was compulsory landing." "Nearest one night?" "With no ties?" "Well, onto a night, be listening..." "There's always time for a quick shag." " With Nóri as well?" " With Nóri as well?" "Okay, but be careful, you don't break her heart." "That's impossible, she hasn't got one." "No, Nóri, no!" "Nóri, switch it off!" "That's not what I meant." "I was just messing around with Beni." "Go away!" "I'm such an idiot." "Just go." "Is it you?" "Do you have any idea what time it is?" "I don't give a shit!" "Are you going to let me in?" "Dávid, it's not the best time." "What do you mean it's not the best time?" "I want to sleep, let me in!" "Beni!" "Who's that?" "Beni!" " Is something wrong?" " No problem, Darling!" "What are you doing here?" " Are you spying on me?" " I live here." "Do you know each other?" " No!" " No!" "We just went dancing." " I got a bit drunk." " What?" " Bally." " Yes, but somebody else did not happen." "What..." "What did not happen?" "A moment, from where do you know each other?" "Beni and I, we are friends, kindergartener since our age." "You know, I supported him and he sticked to my neck." "Sorry." "What happened here accurately?" "I was drunk." "I am sorry." "Nothing happened." "We slept simply." "Let me explain it." "You may hear it on the cassette!" "Did you write she into it?" " Did you write Viki into it?" " What?" "Did you record all?" "What you talk about, let me understand it." "Dávid, writes a book, from the single women." "Right?" " That's right..." " Dávid Debreceni." "Thought that was you!" "So, was because of your book, this all?" "Did you make use of me?" " Viki!" " Viki!" " Why, not enough for you, for the world all of his women?" " Enough." " Why is my woman needed?" " Not needed!" " Why do you always think you're the first?" " I don't think that!" " Let me say something." " Get out of here, okay?" " Please!" " Get the hell out of here!" "I have to get that cassette." "At who is the audiotape?" " At Nóri." " Who the hell is Nóri?" "Dávid's ex-lover." "She's his editor now." "They want to publish it without my agreement?" "No, I shouldn't think so." " Where does she live?" " Viki!" "Write the address down here!" "Don't know why I always have to ruin things that are good." "I'm cursed..." "I'm crock." "This stupidity!" "Hey!" "I give up, I've had enough!" "That's life!" "I reckon men have a pain threshold much lower than women." "Some don't even have one at all." "Does it really hurt that much?" "Only if I laugh." " And what's that?" " What?" "Nothing, just my mobile." "It's a Chinese, analogue Dictaphone." "Why did you bring it with you?" "I'm a journalist and it got left in my pocket." "...have a pain threshold much lower than women." "Some don't even have one at all." "Does it really hurt that much?" " Only if I laugh." " Good, I'll explain." "I'm listening." "I'm writing a book." "It's about single women in the city." "I date them and interview them." "Are you a writer?" "Dávid Debreceni." "Listen here, Dávid Debreceni!" "Have you ever heard about personal rights?" "Yes... and I know that you're right." "But if I'd told you beforehand you wouldn't have been able to show your true self." "Would you like to know what it's like when I show my true self?" "Yes." "Mr. Debreceni!" "Vilmos, I'm not giving autographs now." "I saved your stuff, it's with me." "Thank you." "Come on, you can sort yourself out inside." "Don't worry, Kempelen is out." "Bakelite." "No!" "Is it you?" "Sure!" "We were really big in the seventies." " Can I put it on?" " Of course." "I used to go to sleep to that every night." "What's this?" "It was the book that caught my eye first." ""Bakelite"." "Then your name." "You started to interest me." "I read everything that they wrote about you." "I saw a picture of you as a child." "T was like looking at myself." "Then the papers had a go at your mother too." "Then I was sure." "Ilonka Debreceni." "I didn't know that she knew you." "She never talked about you." "We loved each other." "But we had our own separate lives." "Her life was ordered and predictable." "My life was full of touring, unpredictability and chaos." "And, of course, there were the women." "She couldn't deal with that and she dumped me." "I was so angry that I took a contract in Holland." "I didn't know she was pregnant." "Good." "If you had known, would it have changed anything?" "Well, that's a hard one to answer now." "I don't want to tell a lie." "This track sounds terrible now." "It looks like I messed everything up." "I don't need a father." "I don't have one anymore." "You're too late." "I don't expect it from you." "But stay here now." "Let me help you." "Not as a father only than an old good acquaintance." "Then we'll see how it goes after that." "What should I call you?" "How do you address an old good acquaintance, who turns out to be your father?" "Let's stick with Vilmos for now." "Hi!" "Hi!" "Are you here about the ad?" "Unfortunately, I rented out the flat already." "No, I want the cassettes." "You're Nóri, aren't you?" "Are you're the new editor?" " Yes." " I'll get them." "I was hoping, they'd send someone." "...Viktória, salsa date, attractive but burnt-out." " Are you furious?" " Yes, I am very furious." "Shocks I said this already, I am virgin." "What you said..." "Shit!" "Zsuzsa Márton, the tantric sex goddess." "Sweet girl." "The tantra teaches us that sex forms the basis of our whole being." "I have to agree." "But, not merely indulgence..." "They'll be no happy end to this story, Mate." "You're not going to get rich at our expense." "Waiter!" "The WIFI's playing up." "Wi-Fi?" "Sweet God!" "Once, the people, shouted on the mountain how "I love you", and it was properly." "Now here these many gadget." "Teleport home, Jedi knight, ...and then do it from home, okay?" "Hey, don't you know me?" "Do you really not know me?" "I'm the customer!" "So a little more respect, please!" "With respect, Doctor your server is full of beer." "It would be better if you go home, ...because someone has to be missing you." "I'm paying, so another drink for everybody." "Hi!" "Beni, Viki, what happened?" "The prodigal son returns." "What's this?" "Girls, we still don't know each other!" "My name is Viki and I asked you here, because there is something that connects us all a man who has underhandedly exploited us all." "Viki, is that why you asked me here?" "No!" "Hang on a second!" "Let me introduce Dávid Debreceni." "The writer?" "Péter Pázmány!" "Isn't there anything you want to say?" "Hi!" "Yes... my name's Dávid Debreceni." "And I'd like to start with an admission." "I lied to everyone." "I dated in order to collect material for my next book," "And meanwhile unfortunately I fooled you." "Yes." " Just how Viki said." " It doesn't matter." "No one else mattered except me." "I wasn't bothered about what anyone thought or what anyone else wanted." "I wasn't even bothered about what you really wanted." "But you have to believe that I have changed and I can only thank the women I have talked to over the last ten days." "That's you." "And now, there is not something else back, since..." "Let me ask for your apology." "Girls, you're all fantastic women!" "You could all make any man happy." "I mean it." "But you're worth just as much without them and you don't need anything more than to know this." "Perhaps a bit of self-confidence." "And while I'm at it there is somebody yet, from who, I have to apologise yet." "Someone I hurt when I really didn't want to." "Beni!" "You're my oldest friend." "I'm sorry, Mate." "No problem." "And don't take this the wrong way, but..." "I love you." "I love you too." "Otherwise..." "We with Viki, very once came term with." "Right?" "And what about Nóri?" "Are you going to let her go?" "Gets married, something to Russian." " Who's Nóri?" " What Russian?" " Sorry!" " I don't know." "Alex..." "Alex Vronsky, I believe it." " Alex Vronsky?" " Why, do you know him?" "Is he in the Hoover business?" "No, it's Count Vronsky from "Anna Karenina"." "It's a book." "A Russian fella wrote it." "On the last week they failed on this in the telly, didn't you see it?" "Tolstoy." "Tolstoy!" "Tolstoy, of course!" "Alex Vronsky, so there is no man in Brussels!" "Viki, when does the Brussels flight leave?" "Okay, okay, Nóri, bye!" "Look after yourself and have a good trip!" "Bye!" "Hey, where is she?" "She's not leaving for another hour, because she's still at home, waiting for her taxi." " Good, that's good." " Super!" "Perhaps this is mad." "Thanks for being here with me." "So we need to synchronize our watches." " Oh, no!" " I've been wanting to ask for ages." "Who's this?" "Oh, you missed the family event." "Present it, my newborn father." "Okay, let us step onto the gas!" "We've only got an hour." "Girls, let's have a drink!" "That's the minimum." "But, we made such a beautiful couple." "Okay, I'll call you in exactly 45 minutes and put me on." "Good, Thanks." "Bye!" "Keep your eyes on the road!" " For Miss Angyal, right?" " Yes, yes." " Haven't you got any bags?" " No, I sent everything earlier." "We can go!" "Hello!" " Good afternoon!" "For Miss Angyal?" " Yes!" " Did I say terminal 2/B?" " Yes." " Thank you." "...it's Danubius request show." "Even more music, even fewer speeches." "Shall we?" " Wait, Dávid!" "Listen!" "I host you immediately and you may start it then." "Just hang on!" "Good, thanks!" "Even more music, even fewer speeches." "Radio Danubius." "This is the club of the broken hearts and is here, the first phoning in." "He's Dávid and his voice might be familiar to a few people." " You come, Dávid!" " Hello!" "You believe it now, that you may get out simply, and you may fly away into Brussels." "No!" "Believe it, I did not want it, that let this happen." "I did not want, you to be important again for me." "I was afraid of the emotions." "I was afraid of the responsibility..." "But mostly from it, that I'm not enough good for you." "And soon or late, you realize this." "Once, it seems like a thousand years ago, you said that:" ""I would miss not having read the classics."" "I didn't believe you." "Remember?" "I never thought the time would come when my life would be in Tolstoy's hands." "I did not take it to reason, that your confidence... with which second gave a present... the greatest thing, that a man may get from a woman." "I proved that I was a fool for a second time." "I lost you." "But I have finally realized, Meringue, how empty and aimless my life is without you." "Do you know it?" "And I decided, I take a risk and I put my future into your hand." "Look, the time was pressing..." " Please." " Thanks." "Onto a desperate step determined myself." "I had you kidnap, yes." "And now here compromise myself, ahead an all the world." "And I am willing to shout out to the world what I have never said to anyone before!" "People!" "Read Tolstoy before it's too late!" "You still won't get put on the curriculum." "But at least you've earned Tolstoy great satisfaction." " We heard of Dávid Debreceni." " Guys!" "The taxi's here." "Cockle-shell!" "Nóri!" "I love you!" "What should I say to that?" "Viki, right?" "What would you do if a man declared his love for you... when you are just about to get on a plane to start a new life?" "That's been happening to me every week until now." "Beni!" "Would you really throw away your predictable and certain future for a crazy, blazing, but completely unpredictable love?" "Yes." "You would believe it, for the world's largest womanizer, that changed?" "Yes!" "Yes." " Come on!" " Nóri!" "Wait!" "Have a good trip!" "Tanks." "Let me help." "Wait!" " This is yours." " Thank you." "In the romantic films, the roses are being thrown at this time." " Really?" " Yes." "You have all said that the end is slushy." "Okay, I made a mistake." "It looked slushy at the beginning." "But you lied about going to Brussels to marry a guy." "Because, I was frightened of you!" " Why?" " Why?" "Think about it." "You said, that you were going to trust me." "You've made so many promises." "But you did not die of it, into a little lies." "Why do you throw all into it?" "Do you know how much these roses cost?" "Do not be mingy!" "Ok, excuse me." " Do you ask for strawberries?" " Yes, ask for!" "You asked it, ask for this." "Then why do not give?" " Champagne?" " Good, let us drink champagne!" " Do you ask for a little champagne?" " Yes, I say it, that ask for!" "Let us drink a little champagne." "Subtitle:" "NWAM-s Group (English)"
