"a film by David Ondricek" "Boss, can I ask you something?" " Ask me what?" "When I was loading those crates..." "The chickens in one of those crates looked kinda weird to me." "I told you - forget about those chickens!" "Yeah but them birdies had kinda odd beaks." "I'm telling you don't worry about the chickens." "And you haven't seen any eagles either." "What eagles?" "I didn't say anything 'bout no eagles." "Don't gawk at me or I'm gonna chop your hand off." "How many of those crates you got in there?" " Don't know exactly." "It's in the papers." " 52." "Exactly." "Milos, these chickens look kinda strange." "Come check it out." "I knew it." "It's quite simple." "You don't have to worry at all." "You take responsibility for it and I'll make sure you get the lowest sentence." "And when you get out I'll financially reimburse you." "They will reduce your sentence in half for good behaviour." "To be honest, you don't have much choice." "I don't know 'bout Stan but..." "I take it." "So you're pleading guilty?" "Yeah, I put those eagles there with the help of my partner." "Then sign here." "I wasn't even loading the truck." "Stan was doing it all by himself." "I thought them chickens looked kind of bizarre." "Stanislav Mares, born May 4,1967, is sentenced to three years." "ONE HAND CAN'T CLAP" "Starring" "Welcome to, I'll catch ya"."

"I'm calling like I was supposed to call you when I got out." "I'll be very happy to see you and we straighten it all out." "You can count on it." "So tomorrow at 5 P.M. It is." "And make sure you come alone." "See you." "I thought we agreed that you won't use your cell phone in front of the kids." "I'm sorry, I forgot." "I already turned it off." "Look, dad." "An eagle!" "It's not an eagle, David." "It is a kestrel." " Eagles are very rare." " How rare?" "Very rare." "There are more kestrels than eagles." "That's why they're so expensive." "How expensive?" "David, don't disturb your dad while driving." "Since when are you interested in how expensive birds are?" "He asked so I'm explaining." "Oh, wouldn't you know what happened to my tool-box?" "It was in the garage next to the bricks." "No I wouldn't." "What would I do with your tool-box?" "I want a kestrel." "...and then I was in jail." "It was interesting." "I had plenty of time to think things over." " That's a weird story full o' lies." "Those people conned you and now you gotta pay them back." " I don't know..." " You don't know!" "It's your duty to revenge!" "Today the whole world's full o' people who think they can get away with murder." "So you gotta show those assholes that no one can fuck with you." "Leave me alone." "Here, have a swig." "Once you drink this shit you'll end up here forever." "Have a swig." " Good morning." " Good morning." " Good morning." " Morning, Mom." " Good morning." "Why didn't you put on that pink sweater I got out for you?" "Could you answer me?" "Nicole, I have a feeling you did it on purpose." "It isn't the first time I got clothes ready for you at night and in the morning you put on something else." "I'm your mother and I know best what you should or shouldn't wear." " Did you say something?" " No, why?" "A thief!" "Catch him!" "Stop!" "I said stop!" "You think I can't catch you?" "!" "A thief!" "Did you see how he slipped?" " Yeah, but he didn't slip." " It doesn't matter." "You'll go with me as a witness." "Understood?" " You mean at the police station?" " To the mega-store." "I work there as a house-detective." "You'll testify I caught him." "Is that clear?" "I could do it but the first thing is you didn't catch him and the second is that if you escort him there should be some evidence that you caught him, right?" "You're a smart ass, pal, aren't you?" "Well, actually I have a pretty solid position there and if I tell my boss you assisted in this arrest maybe he could try you out as a junior guard" " if you're looking for a job." " Well I don't know..." " I'm not promising you anything but you might have a chance." "You gotta believe in yourself a bit." " OK, I believe in myself." "Yeah?" " Well." "It wasn't simple at all 'cause it wasn't a regular pick-pocket; he was a pro." "It was quite fierce, a lot of confusion but I got him." "And this guy helped me." " Good day." "So I thought you might hire him." "Try him out." "He could be my assistant." "If you quit your job now I won't make you to pay for this VCR." "Really?" "So unfair." " Ouch." " I'm sorry." "Don't apologize, it wasn't your fault." "It wasn't your mistake that you tripped him and that VCR broke and because of that I lost my job." "I don't have any money and I owe everywhere I look." "Wait." "But it's not my fault that you're broke." "Don't apologize." "It all right, really." "But if you could lend me a grand it would really help me out." " Well, I guess I could lend you something..." "I don't believe it!" " What happened?" " My wallet's gone." " I told you he was a pro." "If you wait till tonight I'll be able to loan you some cash." "That's really good you didn't talk to anyone about it, Stan." "I honestly doubted you'd keep your lips sealed." "It's been a long time and people have a tendency to confess to someone." "You know that old saying, 'Three could keep a secret only if two of them are dead?" "'" "No I don't." "But you know what I mean and that's important." "Because if you told someone" "I couldn't pay you back now." "You understand?" "Very well." "So later tonight?" " Tonight." " Is tonight convenient for you." " Yes, it is." " Be in Holesovice at eight P.M. We'll straighten everything out." "So it will be finally behind us." "What do you say, Stan?" " But where in Holesovice?" " Dock 13." " Dock 13." "All right." "I'll be there." " But be prompt." " I will." "And come alone." " I will." " Excellent." "Thanks." " Listen, who is that guy?" " In 1999 I pulled a job for him." " What kinda job?" " Sorry but I can't tell you." " Why?" " 'Cause I wouldn't get the money." " What money?" " For those eagles..." "But that's all I'll tell you." " Wait, you already started so now you should finish it." " What did I start?" " A story." "You should finish it." " I didn't start anything." " But you did." " No I didn't." " You did." " I didn't and leave me alone!" "If you want to be a jerk keep it to yourself." "In '99 I did a job for him." "We went to Slovakia..." "I got out on good behaviour after half my sentence was up." " And what do you wanna do now?" " Now I'm gonna get that money." "And what do you gonna do with it?" "Well, I don't know yet." "Probably some travelling." "I'd like to go to Mexico to see those Indian pyramids." "To Mexico." "And you don't want me to assist you with collecting it." "Not really." "I'll pick it up myself and then..." "I'll lend you two grand." " Thanks." " See ya." " See ya!" "I made you some herbal tea." " It has a calming effect." " I'm pretty calm." " Brother, you're crazy!" " She's pretty sharp." "Most of the kids in her age can't orientate in this game." "You know how much work it is to protect them from all this?" "Why do you think we don't have a TV, a computer or a microwave oven and all that junk?" " Why?" " Nicole, go play in the garden." "You come visit us and the first thing you do you give her this." "Calm down." "It's just a game that improves logical thinking." "You let a patient play it and it lets you discover what's close to him." "That may be true but my kids are not your patients." "I'm the one raising them and all I want is that they would be themselves." " That's good." "But you'd be surprised how many folks refuse to be themselves." "It's like an epidemic lately." "During the World Cup I had two Beckhams and one Zidane." "And before the Pope came I had six Satans and two Jesus Christs." " Are you serious?" " There's more and more people who think they are a historical personality." "All these Napoleons, Cleopatras, Hitlers, Lenins..." " Are you interested in this?" " Yeah." "How this deformation shows?" " At first it's very subtle." "Colorful dreams, compulsive thoughts, soliloquy and sometimes hallucinations." "Not too many people notice anything." "But later these affected people begin to hide their traits." "At first in private but when their conviction grows stronger they have to go and demonstrate it in public." "But I don't want to bore you with all this." "How is my brother-in-law doing?" "Is his veggie joint prospering?" "You'd never understood 'cause you're a corpse-eater." "But luckily there's less and less people like you." "Because you kill the carnivores?" "You couldn't eat them anyway." "I know you think that eating meat is a natural thing but let me give you one example." "When you're hungry and I will lay a carrot and a dachshund in front of you," "what would you cut into?" " Definitely the dachshund." "I didn't take you as a jerk." "Take it easy." "Calm down." "Don't ever tell me to calm down again!" " There is all this tension built in that must be released." "Try to get in the car, drive to the woods and scream it all out." " Get out." " Let me give you some pills." "Stuff them up your ass." "You'd feel much better." "And the kids too, after all..." "Bye." "You didn't bring the money, right?" "What makes you think so?" "Just a wild guess." "I don't understand." "We had an agreement and you kept all your promises." "Explain to me, why I shouldn't pay you now?" "Yeah, you're right, I kept my part." "Give it to me then." "Here it is." "You can count it." "Well?" "Got ya!" "You overextended yourself, pal." "Who are you gaping at?" "You think I don't know anything?" "I know everything." "About those birds..." "Oh, man, it is so simple to find a poor naive devil and throw him in the slammer." "And then cut some papers, stuff them in an envelope and think everything's all right." "Well it isn't mate!" "Wrong, you'll give him his cash or I'll make beef stew out of you." " Didn't I tell you to come alone?" " Alone..." "well I don't remember now." " He's alone here." " I see two people here." "I was just passing by." "We don't know each other, right Stan?" "Stan?" "Did you say Stan?" " No." " Good." "Wait." "You think that money in that envelope was real?" "That it wasn't counterfeit?" "I just feel you weren't supposed to be there." "That's what I think." "Oh, come on!" "I saved your life." "I'm not so sure about it." " Oh, wait." " What wait?" "Well, I mean like... wait." " What for?" " Wait!" "Wait." " What 'wait, wait?" "'" " I just said, 'wait, wait.'" " I heard you but what, wait, wait?"" " What wait?" "I'm just saying wait, just wait." " Well I'm waiting, waiting." " Well, then wait, wait." " Well, I'm waiting..." " Wait, wait..." "Wait " "Stop gaping at me or I'm gonna chop your hand off." "That chopped off hand wasn't a bad idea." "Good morning, police." "In the name of the law, surrender the vehicle!" "Get out!" " What...?" "We'll give it back later." "See you!" "Why do we actually pick mushrooms at night?" " 'Cause a toadstool picked under a full moon works the best." " I see." " You know why they teach us that toadstools are poisonous?" " 'Cause they're poisonous." " Wrong, in fact they're hallucinogenic." " So they're not poisonous?" " Some of them can be toxic but mostly because they're hallucinogenic." "You're saying you wanna eat a toadstool?" " Exactly." " But isn't it dangerous?" "Any adventure that's not dangerous is no adventure." "In case you ever talk about me to someone again" "just remember this situation." "Verstehen Sie?" "What did he say?" "I think he got it." " You think so?" " Absolutely." "Hasta la vista, baby." "Well, take him down." "Murderers!" "Martina, come here!" "What should we do?" "Peel that tape off his mouth." "Thanks." "Who are you?" " Could you untie me, please?" " First tell us who are you." "A guy who was tied up and thrown in the water." "For God's sake, untie me." "Andrea, what do you think?" "What kind of people end up at the bottom of a dam?" "I think people who got involved in something awful." "Mostly pretty bad people." "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Stan!" "Hold on!" "I'll be right there!" "What kinda tea is this?" "A regular 'shroom tea." " I see." " Why?" "Isn't it good?" " It's good." "It's great." "You made it yourself?" " Couldn't it get infected?" " Nonsense." "You saw me to heat the needle with my lighter, didn't you?" "But shouldn't you thread the needle first?" "You're a smart ass, girl, aren't you?" "Whose place is it anyway?" " It's my dad's cabin." " A regular 'shroom tea." "Sure." "Could you tell us what happened up there on that dam?" "Not now." "It could affect the investigation." " You're a cop?" " Stan isn't but I am." "But you can't reveal this fact in the next 48 hours to anyone or it could be used against you." "Is that clear?" "Yes." "So can you tell me why that car was stupidly sent into him?" "If that pond wasn't so shallow your buddy would already be dead." " Martina?" "Is that you?" " Father." " Hi, Uncle." "Martina is here with me." " Girls, just imagine what happened to me." "Some character flagged me down on the road and when I stopped he pulled me out of my car and took off." "So I had to walk and I found my car at the dam again." "Turn the TV on, there will be an interview with me." "What's going on in here?" "Who is it?" "Some people tied this guy up and wanted to throw him in the dam." "We fished him out." "Hello, Father." "Who broke that window?" "The officer who's working on the case." "He probably had an idea and had to take care of it right away." "I think we should have a serious talk." "Let's sit down and this guy will explain everything to us." "You're a likable guy... and one can count on you." "I like that." "But you should use more of your own initiative and invention." "See you tomorrow evening." "...23 dead and 64 injured." "A serious accident took place in Pardubice's suburb." "36 years old driver overlooked the railroad-crossing stop sign and the freight train hit his car in a full speed." "The fire-fighters were cleaning the debris far into the night..." " Can I help you?" " How, I'll catch ya"started?"" " Wait." " I had this idea while working in the radio station." "We were calling various people and tried to perplex them." ", Catch them out", as they say." "For example I called a hospital and said I need a circumcision." "Or I told a restaurant that my car hit a deer and if they want to buy it, etc." "Then TV approached me so I added another dimension to it." "We picked a person and installed hidden cameras in their place." "A lot of people say that's immoral and you've already faced some legal charges." "Those people probably don't have a clear conscience and the charges only increased our ratings." "Look, you can't take our show too seriously." "It's just fun." "We're looking into someone's privacy and discovering very funny things there." "And don't forget we can't catch everyone who's watching our show because he or she simply sees it." "So as I say, the best defence against us is to stay with us." "I don't mean to offend you but I find it hypocritical when you reveal only the secrets of others." "How would you feel if someone exposed your own family?" "You haven't seen the one where I exposed my daughter?" "Of course I've seen it." "How would you feel if someone filmed you naked on a nudist beach?" "Look, my nudity isn't very interesting but of course I wouldn't mind at all." "One shouldn't be ashamed of what he or she really is and I don't have any problems with this." "You can't simply catch me with my pants down." "I see you have a strong opinion but could you sincerely answer this question:" "Do you think that what you're doing is right?" "In 16th century's England lived a philosopher, Francis Bacon." "And this wise man said one day:" "A man would rather believe what what he considers truthful because he doesn't have enough patience to discover" "so he rejects difficult deeper things because he is vain and arrogant and above all he rejects paradoxical things" "because he is liable to common thinking." "Exactly." "Listen, I believe you can fly but you should realize it is foggy out there." "When you'll fly you won't be able to land." "I don't wanna land." "I wanna fly." "Don't stand under the roof, uncle." "When he jumps he's gonna fall right on you." "Girls, bring a net or a blanket over here." "Don't just stare!" "I won't jump." "I'll fly like a bird... like a bird of prey... like an eagle..." "You idiot!" "They stole my car today and broke my window." "And now I run into a moron like you." "What is God punishing me for?" "What have I done to deserve this?" "My hand." "Where have you been?" "I'm sorry." "I have tons of work." "What is it?" " Gloves." " What for?" "They are gloves in gloves." " I'm tired." "Good night." " Today is Thursday." "Should I push more?" "Not yet." "What about the kids?" "Today they had history." "What exactly?" "World War II." "I'm coming." "I'm not." "I'm sorry." "I apologize." "Before I go to Mexico, I'll do something really big." "Something that's going to change the lives of many people." "I don't know what it is... but it's coming." "It's great!" "Do you feel it, my dear friend tree?" "Andre, you know what?" "I really like you, you know?" " Yeah, thanks." "Oh, I see." "You should've said that right away." "It's not what you think." "It just struck me I should tell you that 'cause I had a feeling nobody wants to talk to you and you're not really an amiable guy." "So I just said it to make you happy." "You don't always have to say everything that's on your mind." "I see, I didn't think of it." "That's good." "I don't always have to say what's on my mind." "That's true." "A little while ago I was in jail and now I'm sitting here with you." " You're sitting here but you could've been dead." "Murderers." "So what?" " You're sitting here but you could've been actually dead." "Murderers." "I'd be just dead." " You wouldn't mind?" " I'd probably mind but what could I do if I was already dead?" " Hmmm, that's true." "Maybe you'd be reborn as a bird and you could fly." "Or be smuggled in a truck as a chicken." " What?" " Tell them what happened." "Well, in 1999 I had this job." "What a scum to throw an innocent guy in the slammer." "You must get your money back." " If it wasn't for you I already had it." " Well, wait..." " Money isn't the only thing." " That's right that money isn't the only thing!" "But what is?" " Justice." " It's obvious that justice is more important." " We'll find out why he was smuggling those eagles." "Let's swear on this candle that all four of us will do it together." " Wait a minute..." "Let's swear on THIS candle that all four of us will do it together." " Repeat after me:" "I swear on this candle." " I swear on this candle." " I swear on THIS candle." " That I shall uncover the mystery of the birds of prey." " That I shall uncover the mystery of the birds of prey." " Together with these four beings." " Together with these four beings." " Andrea." " Andrea." " Andre." " Andre." " Martina." " Martina." " Stan." " Stan." " Stan." "Oh, a guy called you." "He said his name was Brousek or something like that." "He said that the bear is ready." " What?" " The bear is ready." "I don't know what it means." " Oh, Mr. Berousek." "I see." "So that's how it is!" "The bear is ready." "That's funny." "That's good." "Would you explain to me what is up with that bear?" "The bear is ready means something like really like..." " Like what?" " Well, I didn't want to tell you about it," "I didn't want to brag about it..." "Actually it means... that the bear is ready" "for a costume tryout." " A what!" "?" " I met Mr. Berousek, the circus owner." "And he asked me if I wouldn't like to sponsor his bear." "The little hairy thing." "Actually not the bear but the bear's costume in one very funny sketch." "The bear's riding on a bike and has these blue shorts on." "Are you crazy?" "You want to sponsor people who lock animals in cages and drill them?" " I don't sponsor people but I'd sponsor a bear." "Oh, by the way, didn't you borrow that hauling rope from the trunk of my car?" " No." "What would I do with your hauling rope?" "I'm sorry." " Mom, I wanna see that bear in a costume." " See what you've done?" " I'm sorry." "Davie, you wouldn't like it at all." "All animals at the circus are unhappy and there are bad people there who torture them." " I'd like to see that circus." " No." "Dad, I know you have that little hand." "It's door 206." " I know that." " You're not gonna tell me what you'll say?" " Leave it up to me." " I thought we were a team." " So calm down." "Easy, yeah?" "What is it?" "May I help you?" "We just wanted to ask you " "where the toilet is." " Reception?" "We have some intruders here." " Wait." " Let's go!" " Run." "Run." "Wait." "The elevator." " It was somewhere here." " Are you sure?" " Well, within 300 meters." "You can walk that far, can't you?" " What do your parents do?" " My mom died when I was a kid." "I'm sorry." "And your dad?" " He works in a theatre." " As what?" " Don't know exactly." "We don't see each other very often." "As an actor or something like that." " Your dad is an actor and you don't go to see any his shows?" " No, I don't feel like going there." "But you don't communicate with you father very much either." "You don't know?" "I thought everybody's seen it." " Seen what?" " Never mind." "Are we getting close?" " We're almost there." "It's gotta be somewhere over there." " The next house over there." " What house?" " The one where that man with a doggie is standing." " A doggie, right?" " Yeah, the little poodle." "Martina?" "!" " The building is guarded by cameras, everything's top secret there, the receptionist is a pro." " Did you find something concrete?" " What do you mean by that?" " Like something touchable." " Nothing." "And do you have something concrete?" " Nothing concrete." "Touchable, yes." " Also nothing I guess." " Same like you." " I'm telling you." "It wasn't easy." "We tricked the receptionist, searched for the door marked restaurant, Magical Garden","" "stepped in and there was this vigilant secretary." " Wait, what restaurant?" " Not a real restaurant, just a sign on the door." " But why was there a sign?" " Yeah, why?" " He probably owns some restaurant and this is its office." " It's not here." " Magical Garden." "National Blvd. 6, Prague 1." " Let's go." " But you can't go in there like this." "They think you're dead." " You know what would happen if they'd recognized you?" " That would be silly." " You're right." " I have an idea." " What do you need it for?" " Well, we need it for..." " We need it for a masquerade." " For a fancy-dress ball." " The most important thing is that nobody recognizes us." " You're odd." "When I was in your age I went to the dance-halls and didn't dress like a woman." " Why like a woman?" " Dad, do you have something?" "We don't have much time." "In dear employment:" "Therefore hence, be gone:" "But if thou, jealous, dost return to pry In what I further shall intend to do," "By heaven, I will tear thee joint by joint," "And strew this hungry churchyard with thy limbs:" "The time and my intents are savage-wild, Fiercer and more inexorable far" "Then empty tigers or the roaring sea."

"David will get out his physics textbook now and Nicole will draw on the blackboard" "what she's thinking the most about lately." " Mom, I can't find my physics textbook." " Look again." " It's not here, really." " Let me see." "Nicole, haven't you seen that textbook?" "Oh well, we'll take care of it later." "Let's take a look at something else." "David, what would you like to learn about?" " A kestrel." " Very well." "David, how do we call the science about birds?" " Ornithology." " That's correct, Nicole." "David, look up the chapter called, The birds"." "Ornithology is a science that explores the life of birds." " The kestrel is missing here." " Let me see." "Who did this?" "Now you will tell me who did it or there will be a detention." " The list of tonight's guests." " Thank you." " Have you decided?" " I'd like to have some white meat." "Do you have fish or chicken?" " We only serve soy meat, salads and vegetable specialties." " I see." "My friend told me you make great chicken here." " Your friend must be mistaken." "We've never served meat here." " You never heard of eagles either, right?" " Excuse me?" " Lentil soup for me." " Me too." " Make it three." " How about you?" " I'll have a coke." " All right, three lentil soups and one coke." " This is interesting." " What's?" "Lentil soup?" " Stan, did you say you delivered chickens with eaglets mixed in?" " Yeah, that's right." " But why did you deliver eagles for a vegetarian restaurant?" " I can't listen to this any longer." "You just wanna sit here and stare?" " Wait." "We're talking about it and that's important." " Even you are against me?" " Don't be stupid!" "The girls here are helping us so give them a break." "Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried," "Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel." " But do not dull thy palm with entertainment..." " Cut it out you guys." " Dear You..." "Judy." "He's going bananas." "I'd better go after him." "What do you wanna do?" " I'm running the show all the time." "I'm planning things." "I'm on it like a pro." "I wanna do it with a surgeon's precision." "And Andrea's eyes keep bugging out at me all the time." " Bugging out?" "What are you looking for?" " Do you know where the men's room is?" " You already passed it." " Thanks." "Do you think he recognized us?" " How could he?" "This disguise is perfect." " You think so?" " Where do you think those stairs lead to?" " Probably to the basement." " Right." "And that's what looks fishy to me." " What do you wanna do?" " Act." "Let's synchronize our watches." "In exactly 20 minutes we'll meet upstairs." " I don't have a watch." " All right, then make it fifteen." " How is the soup?" " Full of lentils." " Where's Andre?" " He'll be back in 20 minutes." " In 20 minutes?" " Actually in 15." " We'll wait I guess." "No, we won't wait." "Could we get our bill?" " Are you sure it was them?" " Yeah, I'm dead sure." "Then go and find them." " We'll pay next time." "Let's split." "If we don't report it and he gets killed we'd regret it for the rest of our lives." "All right." "I'll go there." "I'm quite experienced with cops." "I know how to handle them." " I honestly don't understand what you are trying to tell me." " I thought I was clear enough." "A vegetarian restaurant." "Food for vegetarians." "And all of a sudden, abracadabra, eagles in the chickens shipment." "Well, you wonder what that has to do with it and why they wanted to dump me in the dam?" "And Andre?" "We're waiting for 20 minutes" " well just 15 'cause I don't have a watch - we wait for half an hour but he never showed up." " Careful, Mr. Mares, watch out." "Don't play with the law 'cause the law is not a toy for kids." "You should realize our time is precious." "We only investigate real criminal cases here." "Jokes must be put aside." "Could you produce some evidence?" " No, I can't." " You see?" "If you wanna prove something you gotta have some evidence." "Some snapshots or something like that..." " Well, if it's all I think I'd better go." " Wait a minute." " Good bye." "Do you see what he's doing?" "I'll get it." "He's really a moron." "Stop!" "It is still not quite right." "Try to play something more festive and more dynamic..." "Stop!" "That's still not it!" " I may as well play this one." "Excellent!" "That's it." "You can go now." "Nicole, why is this doll missing a hand?" " Did you break it off?" " No." " Where is its hand?" " I don't know." " Did something happen?" " Nothing." "Karl!" "You ain't gonna believe this!" " Did you know about this?" " I heard something 'bout it but I didn't know it'd be this crude." "What are we gonna do now?" " Let's go, guys." "I've got a black belt in karate." "What happened?" "No masquerade tonight?" " I forgot to ask you if I could borrow your camera." " It's at home." " I see." "That's stupid." " You wanna go there and get it?" " Is this yours?" " It's ours." "We videotape our rehearsals and stuff." "Be careful, don't erase anything." " I caught it all, during everything." " I caught you lying, feuding..." " That's Martina's dad." " Did she come by with you today?" " Yeah, the redhead." " And now take a look at our most successful catch." "Welcome to, I'll catch ya"!" "Now I'll dial her number and invite her for a date." "We'll see if she's already horny..." "Wow, that's Martina but she's much younger." "Let's try it again." " Is she your girlfriend?" " Well, yeah," "I guess so." "A skilful girl." "You have a good taste." "I'm proud of you." " So I hit him and he went down." "I was really surprised how easy it was." " Guys, could you leave us alone for a while?" "All right, Mr. Konicek, let's get started..." "Tell me how you got in here and what you want." " Eat this:" "Kiss my ass, amateur." "Do you know who you're talkin' to?" "You really think I'd be scared of a chicken shit like you?" "Go on!" "I got one." " Which one?" " The car jumper." " Where is he?" " In the freezer." " You honestly surprised me." " What should I do with him?" "Don't gawk at me." "If you think you'll wave that axe in the air and I'll start singing you're wrong." "You'll regret this moment for the rest of your fuckin' life." "Am I worthy of undertaking such a mission?" "Yes I am worthy." "Andre?" "How did you know how many bricks to put inside that suitcase so it would lift David all the way up to the ceiling?" " I figured that out." " I see." "And did you figure out the gripping mechanism too?" " Or were you told how to do it?" " It was in the book." " What book?" " The physics book." "But your mom isn't teaching you physics yet." " It's David's book." " I see." "Ok, Nicole." "Why don't you stay in the next room while I'll talk to your mom?" " Don't touch him!" " Calm down." "It's not as bad as you think." "David, go in there for a moment." "Look how smart she is." "This complicated gripping mechanism... or here - this is actually an incline, a simple lever and a double pulley." "She used the same mechanical components the Egyptians were using to build pyramids." "She's a little genius." " What are you babbling about!" "?" "She's a regular murderer!" " I wouldn't be so harsh." " Are you saying I'm being too harsh?" " You love David, that's natural." "What about TV?" "Isn't Nicole watching too much TV lately?" " You know we don't have a TV." " Sorry, I forgot." "Maybe that's the stumbling block." "Children need television as an additional communication device." "It is their connection with the world, as natural as their parents." " My daughter tries to kill my son and you advice me to buy a TV set." " Well." "Are you fucking serious?" "I have more of those pills I gave you." "In that drawer there." "Do you need some more?" "It will calm you down." " In here?" " Right." "The significance of our meeting will be fully recognized perhaps after many centuries" "but one thing I know today very well:" "A man who doesn't have enough courage to discover and who rejects the deep difficult things but," "above all, a man who rejects things paradoxical becomes a stagnant being who denies the natural evolution." "Such a person becomes a static, degenerate creature who huddles in the corner of a dark room instead of spreading the wings of desire" "and flying like a bird of prey across the sky to drink from the goblet of the unknown." "But to take off from the ground and fly up into the sky we have to get rid of our fear." "We have to be ready to sacrifice ourselves." "One of us has to rise to take full full responsibility upon his shoulders, has to decide what is right and what is wrong." "I'm asking myself:" "Am I worthy of undertaking such a mission?" "And I have to answer myself..." "Yes, I am worthy..." "When I, filled with the feeling of the highest bliss, watch your faces then I know one thing for sure:" "My life's struggle hasn't been fought in vain." " Let me in at once..." " Today I've personally prepared something very special for you." " Excuse me, I'm sorry." " Let me in at once." " What are you doing here?" " Why did you bring the kids over?" " I'm sorry but I can't take it any longer." " What is it you can't take any longer?" "To baby-sit two kids?" "What's wrong?" "Tell me!" " Nothing's wrong." "It's just that David is putting on girl's clothes he's stealing from Nicole - stockings, panties, etc." "She drew this diagram, a hauling rope..." "She wanted to kill her brother and she almost succeeded." " Excellent." "So everything's in order..." " What do you mean by that?" " Nothing, everything will be GUT." "Zack?" " Yes?" " I just wanted to tell you I videotaped everything." "So everybody will find out what was happening here." " So what?" " So I think it's useless to burn this place down when I have it all videotaped." " When I was a little boy" "I hated spinach." "My mom kept telling me to eat it to be healthy because there was iron in it." "But not too long ago I read an article that scientists made a mistake with the decimal point in the past." "Spinach has the same amount of iron as any other vegetable." " Yes, but now everybody will see that you're eating endangered species here." "And it's good that they'll know." " More spinach, more iron." "We'll show it on TV and people will see it..." "And they'd mimic you." "No, that's not good." " It's good but it doesn't have as much iron as potatoes or onions..." " Yeah but I know for sure that to eat people is definitely wrong." " You think so?" " Yeah, I know that for sure." "Stan!" "What are you doing here?" "Why did you set the place on fire?" "We better run!" "How can I show it if I don't know what's on it?" " Dad!" "You owe me this one." " Put it on." " What?" " I said put it on." "Welcome to, I'll catch ya"." "These days it's very hard to tell what's right and what isn't." "Things that were unimaginable just a few years ago we take as normal today." "What used to be considered ugly can be an ideal of beauty today." "That's why I'm showing you things the way they really are." "And even though they're sometimes painful and unpleasant," "especially when your own family is involved, it gives me and you the possibility" "to make our own opinion of the world we live in." "Today my daughter came to me after years of refusal." "She gave me a videotape made secretly by her friend Stan and asked me if I could..." " She did it!" "Everybody stop working and pay attention!" "Since I was a kid I had a bad luck with whatever I touched." "I don't have any money, no place to live, no girlfriend." "I don't have anything I like or what I could like." "Maybe you're also not following your dreams, maybe you also don't live the lives you wanted to live." "But me and one girl have accomplished something what will change my life." "And maybe it will help to all of you, too." "So look up and watch that silly TV now!" "...that's why I promised her to show it to you because I owe it to her." "So here we go..." "Sometimes you can see bad things on TV, but if you use your head," "you'll make objective, and mainly, your own opinions on what you're about to see." "It can be useful for you, for each individual." "Understood?" " Well no." "You don't mind that your eyes bug out all the time?" " No, I don't." "Do you?" " Yes, I do." "But you do have a pretty voice." " Thanks." " Don't mention it." "Could someone change the channel?" "That's sweet..." "Those people conned you and you have to pay them back." "This world is full o' people who think they can get away with murder." "So go and show them assholes that no one can fuck with you." "Hi." " Hi." " I guess I should apologize... but I have no reason." "I saw that scene with that doggie... but only afterwards... so I'm sorry... but nothing really happened..." " I know many people thought it was gross and they say they'd never do things like that" "but I wanted to do it so I did it and just because my crazy father taped me doing it doesn't mean" "I'll stop being myself." "I just came here to tell you I like you and when you get out you can call me." "I mean if you want to." " Yeah, sure, all right." "I'll call ya."
