"What's the matter?" " I report, sir, my boots have gone." " When?" " During the night." " Where from?" " From my feet." " You sleep in your boots?" "To prevent them being stolen." "For carelessness hop round the yard!" "Whatever you're told, don't stop, but report you're doing your punishment." " Do you understand?" " Yes, sir." " Start!" " Konréd!" " Yes, sir." "Draw a circle in front of me!" "All boots are in the circle within 30 seconds!" "Yes, sir." "Start!" " Pogény!" " Yes, sir." " Choose your boots." " I report, sir," "I'm doing my punishment." "I'm sorry." "You had the opportunity, Pogény." "Whatever!" " Line up within 30 seconds in boots!" " Yes, sir." "Start!" "I report, sir, I carried out the order." "Join!" "You are too well off here for three weeks building the defence line." "Enjoying the Ukrainian spring, do you?" "You'll be in the front line again, soon." "To sweep mines till you all die!" "No breakfast today for stealing boots." "Dirty shirkers!" "I'll show you." "There's no need to shout, Séndor." "Report!"

"Because I can stand it." "For eternety, son." "A staff patrol." "Do you hear?" "The mail probably." " We'll be taken back to the front." " I don't think so." "There are always good connections at the top." "I report, I brought this." "You'll see." "Either they'll change the people or bringing the mail." "Onodi!" "Here!" "Dié!" "If we don't meet, all the best." "And to you." "And everybody." " Take care yourselves!" " Hurry up, go!" "Will he be taken home?" "Maybe." "Dress up, boy." "You'll go to the battalion with the corporal." "Hurry up, damn you!" "If you're taken home, go to my mother and tell her to send me boots." "Boots!" "Will you go to my wife?" "She was very ill when I left home." "I don't even know whether..." " Take this letter with you!" " What's going on there?" "Everybody down, except Onodi!" " The boots, Dié." "My mother..." " Look at the ground!" " Get going, Onodi!" " Yes, sir." "Up!" "Down!" "Up!" "Down!" " You are Onodi the Second?" " I am." "Why Onodi the Second?" "There was another Onodi in our team."

" That's me." " Bravo." " Zigaretten?" " Danke." " Feuer?" "No, no, danke." "What does Dié mean?" "It's my nickname." "Onodi, Dié." "I suppose they like me." " Are you a Jew?" " No." " Communist?" " No." "Then why you are here?" "I suppose, because I slapped Turcsényi in the face." "Who is Turcsényi?" "He was a military commander in the factory." "He abused my mother." "And it upset me." "Listen, Onodi!" "Captain Heilig wants to celebrate the fuhrer's biﬂhday by arranging a football match." "He mentioned you to me." "They have their team." "I don't know their name." "They need a rival team." "From us?" "First he wanted to collect soldiers, but I've explained to him that they are old substitutes." "You are responsible for organizing the team and put it together." "That's all." "What are you waiting for?" " It can't be done, sir." " What?" "These are skeletons." "They can't even kick a pebble." "They will fall out in the first five minutes." "We need food, sir." "He says the men are weak." "They need more food." "The match is absolutely essential." "The frontline theatre can't come... and I have to arrange some celebration." "I'll take care of the extra food myself." "You'll get extra food till the match." " You won't loose by it." " I see." "All we need then is a ball." "A ball?" "What for?" "For training." "We have to train every day." " And certainly we will not work." " What?" "!" "No one can work and play football." "It's my experience." "If you want a real match..." "Get out!" "What do you think!" "I don't think anything, sir." "You've gone mad!" "They've promised food and you didn't take it?" " Why didn't you accept it, you fool?" " How could you?" " What food did they promise?" " Leave me alone!" "Skeletons can't play football." "I've told you a thousand time football is a sacred thing." "Otherwise I do not have to apologize." "What's going on here?" "Slack in the daytime, fun at night?" "Shut up at once!" "Rotten, lousy gang!" "Géza!" "Here!" "Take it." " What about the mail?" " I don't know." "And the front?" "Where are the Russians?" "I told you, leave me alone!" "Bring some light here!" "I think Majoros is dead." " Doctor, are you awake?" " I'm going." "He's dead." " What's left of him?" " A cap, but it's torn." " Any food?" " Nothing." "Russians!" "Russian guns." "They're coming." "It was of the best materials." "Erzsi found it too expensive but I said the bed would last a lifetime." "It's worth the money." " Wasn't I right?" " Yes, you were." "She was in the third monts with my baby, when I left." "The baby must be two months old now." "Where is the letter now, in which she wrote it." "The soil is damn hard!" "Work during the day, dig a grave at dawn." "Why did you come?" "You weren't ordered." "For my boots." "He took them, poor devil." "He wanted to live." "You're a bloody fool, Dié!" "Why?" " Because I didn't accept it?" " Yes." " We could have food." " And?" "I was invited to Switzerland and Spain for a lot of money and I didn't go." "And now it's better, isn't it?" "I couldn't leave my mother." "I don't care about Hungary." "It's a flag from coloured rags, nothing else." "You're talking nonsenses, Dié." "Listen, Geza." "You're a clever man, I have to admit." "You're grand in literature and aestetics for sure." "But I'm also grand in some son of things." "I was only 17 when I became a member of a football team." "Three goals in the first match..." "Every women wanted to go bed with me." "What do you think?" "I loved only one woman in my whole life." "My wife." "I left her only for three minutes while I had a smoke." "A bomb killed her in the air-raid shelter." "It'll do, boys." "We can take him in." "Is anybody in it?" "It's so light." "I've put him in it." " What was his name?" " Miklés." " His age?" " 34 years." "Géza!" "Where is Hungary?" "There." " Onodi!" " Yes, sir." " Here!" " Yes, sir." " Take it." "It's free." "Sit down." "Come on, sit down!" "I'm not so bad, believe me." "I know everybody hates me here." "I don't like torturing people." "But what shall I do?" "But an order is an order." "I'm not angry with this ass of a communist either." "He is so much trouble." "Why can't he be a honest Hungarian?" "Don't you think?" "Tell us a story, Onodi!" "Which story?" " The Swedish woman." " You've already heard it." "It's a good story." "Tell us and I'll give you a piece of bacon for it." "Malmi)", 1938." "We won for 2:0." "After the banquet a chick comes to me." "She was the chairman's daughter." "A stout, white skinned blonde girl." "She wanted to go with her." "We go out there was a nice car." "She drove like hell." "In a second we left town." "She unbuttoned her blouse and she opened it..." "No underwear." "Just the pink flesh." "She took off the blouse, accelerated." "The skid is off." "She held the wheel with one hand and - my God!" " stepped on the gas." "The pants is off." "She had nothing but her stockings." "And then?" "She stopped at an abyss and showed me what to do or she'd run over it." "I pulled the hand-brake and did my best!" "I had to survive." "L like you, Onodi!" "Are the Swedish all like that?" "All of them." "We ought to conquer Sweden too." "What's this?" "Rotten shirkers!" "Onodi!" "Come here!" "Here is your ball and this cheese." "It's Novék lieutenant's order to organize the team." "You do not have to work till the match." "I'm your superior officer." "We can choose from other companies as well." "But no Jews if it's possible." " Understand?" " Yes." "Here you are." "No problem, Géza." "I told you, football is a sacred thing." "A great match against the Germans." "You have to go with us, Guszti." "We will play football, mate." "Not me." "My legs are over." "I'd be happy if I can keep them." " Childblain?" " Yes." " The doctor...?" "When it will be?" "Next saturday." "It'll be the house-painter's birthday." " And they need you?" " There's no one else." "They've heard about me, so I'm the captain." "But what can I do?" "I've found only 8 men within two days." "There's no more..." "Even these are all muddlers." "There are the Tanké brothers," "Koczina..." "But who'll play the left side?" " You can play the left side." " Who'll shoot for goal, then?" "Whatever!" " And we don't have a goalkeeper." " It stinks here, Onodi." "Hurry up!" "So much talk!" "Just a moment, Corporal." "Guszti, take it." "We've got extra food to grade up." " I can't..." " No arguing!" " Onodi!" " Yes." " Damn you!" "How long I have to wait?" "Sorry, Corporal." "It was an old friend of mine." "Guszti Kovécs." "Was he such famous?" "A national goalkeeper." "Capped 18 times." "And like a father to me." "Why is he here?" "For being a fool." "He gave books to read to the youngsters." "Let me see!" " I have to take it." " It's a souvenir from Stockholm." " Give it to me!" " I told you, it's a souvenir." "From some woman." "I won't beg for it." "You'll not need it anymore." "What do you mean, Corporal?" "Nothing." "Take shelter!" "Steiner!" "Yes, sir." "Attention!" " Sergeant..." " Shut up!" "I said attention!" "Sergeant!" " The wire..." " You disobey the order?" "You swine!" "Sergeant, I report we came to ask if there is someone who can play football?" " Play what?" " Football." "Who can play football?" "Go to your mother's..." "Leave our mothers alone, Sergeant." "Corporal, give me the paper!" "Jews!" "Who can play football?" "People, we will play football." "Here is the ball." "Those who can play comes with me." "Well." "Step ahead." "You can all play?" "You are lying again, Jews." "But I've kill those who've lied." "You know I always keep my word." "There is a ball, so we can try out." "So, once again..." "Who can play football here?" "Steiner!" " You can play?" " I can, sir." "Steiner!" "You want to live!" "But if you can't, you'll die!" "I swear I can play." "Upon my mother's life!" " Which position you play?" " Outside left." "Outside left." "That's what I need." "Try him!" "With your left." "Not so bad." "Left foot or both feet?" "Pardon, sir?" "Left foot or both feet?" "Both feet, certainly." "Okay." "I'll take him." "Good day, Sergeant." "Good day, Sergeant." "We'll see you each other, Steiner." "Wait!" "Warrant officer!" "Here!" " Yes, sir." " You go with them!"

" I'm Kornél Ferencz." " The world shooting champion?" "Onodi ll." "I'm sure you've heard about me?" "Yes, of course." "I'm so sorry, but I hope you understand." "I'll be going to the battalion" " to teach the officers to shoot." " Shut up!" "You'll teach your mother..." "Rotten Jew!" "I'm not a Jew." " I'm the solder of the Hungarian..." " Shut up!" "You can go, until I change my mind!" " Have you eaten the cheese?" " Why?" "I'd like to watch it." "The cheese belongs to the team." " You promised to..." " Let me eat for Christ sake!" "I'll give you my camel-hair blanket if you take me into the team." " Pure camel-hair..." " Dié!" "If nobody else, but you have to take Bokros into the team." " He had typhoid." " We play." "We are not a hospital." " Don't beg to this..." " Shut up!" "Dié, he had typhoid." "He hardly stands on his feet." "Dié!" "You remember, I cured you when you were ill last winter?" "Remember?" "You want to play also?" "I want to eat, Dié." "That's all I want." "It's not a welfare club for God's sake!" "The whole company can't play." "Who can play over 50 years?" "I gave you quinine, Dié." " Three portions per day." " Don't beg to this..." "You want to give a good laugh for the Germans?" " Get out of my way, you...!" " Go to hell, hear me?" "You bootlicking bastards!" "Onodi, come here!" "Your dixie." "There's some soup left." "Thank you." " Are you organizing this match?" " Aha." " I'd play." " You, Sergeant?" "Yes." "I used to play sometime." "No way, Sergeant." "You either play regularly or not at all." "Dié!" " Is that you?" " Yes." "Give me some water!" "Here you are." "Pour it in my mouth, I can't lift my arm." "Arthritis." "My shoulders hurt" "Why do you do it day after day?" "You'll kill yourself!" "You're right, but I won't be the first." "But even if this devil kills me I won't renounce my principles."

"Steiner!" "Géza Karécsony!" "Then Onodi ll." " And Récz!" " No way, son!" "Not Récz!" "I report, sergeant," "I can't organize the team without him." " Why not?" " Because he is the inside right." " Him?" " Yes, him." "But if you want to report to the German Captain..." "Go ahead, Récz!" "Company, attention!" "Players, dismiss!" " Can we go, Corporal?" " Go ahead!" "Now pull up your socks, boys!" "You clown!" "You clown!" "What a party!" "You want to play in this, Pogény?" "There's no other clothes on me." "I battered them for potatoes." "Try to find something for him." "He can't play in this." "These stones are the goals." "Géza!" "Come here!" " You really mean it?" " What?" " This whole mess?" "Don't upset me!" "Come, Géza!" "Don't be a crawler." "Csorba is not watching." "What do you want." "Don't spoil the discipline at the beginning." "We get extra food to play football." "And if you don't want it, you can go back...!" " Don't shout!" " He'll hear it." "He's right." "Run around the green for relaxation." "Don't be afraid, Géza." "Others would take it." "Come on, again!" "Okay, boys, come back, it would be enough." "Come on, again." "Always keep your eyes on the ball." "It's the secret." " Watch it, Dié!" " Kick it, Rudi!" "That's it, Géza." "Very good." "You'll be good." "Here, Steiner!" "Put it down and kick here!" "Don't afraid of it." "Take the ball and come here!" "Here you are, sir." "You've lied to me, Steiner." " Yes, I did." " Why?" " Because..." "I don't want to die so soon, Mr. Onodi." "If there is a way, I want to go home." "You've said you can play." "Swore upon your mother's life." "She's dead, Mr. Onodi." "I never played football." "I sold books." "It wasn't easy either." "You swine!" "You scoundrel!" "Who do you think I am?" "You're an outside left?" "!" "You bastard!" "You go back to your company!" "Report to Csorba that you were lying to me and you can't play." "Don't get me killed, Mr Onodi." "I'll learn to play, you see." "I'll learn everything." "Go!" "I can't stand, when I'm fooled." "Dié!" " Let him stay, Dié!" " It's not your business, Géza!" "I'm the Captain here." "If you send him back, the Nazis will kill him." "Who cares?" "Why did he deceive me?" "Go back to the goal, Géza!" "Stand up, boys!" "Wait, Steiner!" "I'll go with you." "Where?" "To Csorba." "I won't stay here." "I see." "Go to hell!" "But let us know when can we start digging your grave." "Don't be a fool, Dié." "If you send them back, I'll go with them too." "Me too, Dié." "And my brother, too." "Don't be fools!" "You cannot miss such opportunity." "Sorry, Dié." "I'm out." "Bastards!" " Good evening!" " Company, attention!" "Don't do that." "What a stupid thing." "I'm looking for Steiner." "I was afraid, you'd never come, Mr. Szabé." "Just a moment, Mr. Szabé." "I'm coming, Mr. Szabé." "Please, take a seat, Mr. Szabé." "Stop that." "Stand at ease." "The scissors, Mr. Lipték, if you please." "What style do you wish, Mr. Szabé?" "You are the specialist, Steiner." "I leave it to you." "Some nice and up-to-date..." "Very well, Mr. Szabé." "It'll be up-to-date." " You have it here?" " Yes." " Here you are." " Not now." "Afterwards." "If you're satisfied, Mr Szabé." "Very well." " Can he cut hair?" " Like playing football." " How many families you have, Steiner?" " What do you mean?" " How many children?" " I see." "Two." "They are twins." "Both boys." "My wife is rather economical concerning births." "Here they are." "It's a little bit wet." "Tough kids." "What's their name?" "The bigger is Arpéd, the smaller is Csaba." " You're a musician, Mr. Pogény?" " Yes, Mr. Szabé." " I was a drummer at the Coconut Bar." " At Pest?" "At Buda, Mr. Szabé." "In the Burg." "He has a very good song." "Won't you hear it, Mr. Szabé?" " Why no"." " A tin'.!" "Are you mad?" "He's the only human being here." "Stop it." " I can't." "Is it very bad?" " Awful!" "What shall I do?" "Great!" "I'd listen to you till the morning." " Can you play anything else?" " The Bolero-tango." " I'm ready, Mr. Szabé." " Really?" "It was rather quick." "Though it wasn't easy." "You have a very thin hair." "Have you got a mirror?" "Adjétok ide a tiikriit!" "Steiner, Steiner!" "Awful!" "You are lucky, because up here in the hills one isn't so choosy." "Right?" "Well, here you are." "Thank you." "Thank you very much." "Next time you'll sing again." " Good bye." " Good bye." "Are you nuts, Steiner?" "Taking deadly risk for a flute!" "Why do you need it, you fool?" "I'll take it home to my children." "I bargained for it for days." "I always took home some present even if I only left for a day." " I should bring,something even from here." " For Arpéd and Csaba?" "Thank you, Mr. Lipték." " What will you take home for souvenir?" " Me?" "Till I get home..." "It's time to go to bed." "Cheer up, old man." "We all have our troubles." "I have my birthday today for instance." "The 33rd." "All my friends came with bottles in the packet." "We had party till the morning." "Don't cry." "I'll make you a nice haircut é la Steiner." "The bald headed have hair on other spots!" " Stop it!" " I'm not." "I don't want him to cry on my birthday." "I want to cheer him up." "Stop it!" " You idiot!" " I won't." "I'm in high spirits." "Because you've feasted!" "Chees and cans." "And so?" "You envy me?" "Put down the scissors, you fool!" "Don't be mean with those whi aren't in your dirty game!" "You swine!" " This is not football, you swine." " Help, Dié!" " Dié, they'll kill me!" " Leave him alone!" "Beat the players!" "They're gobbling cheese." "Damn!" "You swine!" "Are you crazy?" "For a cheese?" "For a damned cheese?" " You!" " What are you doing?" "Try to remember that we are human beings." "Who I call come here and take the letter." "The reading is allowed after dismiss." " Understand?" " Yes." "Séndor Sztanké!" "So here you are, you scoundrel." "Trade Union member." "Are you?" "I was, sir." "Attention!" "It's from your wife." "You may go." " Endre Mérocz!" " Yes, sir." "Well, son." "You still dishonor the Germans?" "Do you still believe that they will lose the war?" "I report, sir, I'm not." "I know they will win." "You're lying." "I see it in your eyes." "You'll get your wife's letter next time, because you were lying." "Dismiss." " Jénos Récz!" " Yes, sir." "He is tough, you see, even he is a communist." "He deserves his letter." "Here you are, Récz." "Breakfast and marching out!" "Dismiss!" "No more letters, Sergeant?" "I gave out all of them." "My wife writes every day." "Every day." "It's impossible, Sergeant." "It can't be." "What?" "Tell me!" "That there are no more letters." "You've hit the nail on the head." "There are certainly more letters." "I was just kidding." "Of course there are." "Quite a heap of them." "There are many." "Let me see, who wants to see those letters?" "So many of you?" "Well." "Pogény, here!" " Yes, sir!" " Collect all the letters into that bucket." "Come on!" "Move!" "Give one to everybody who asks for it." "You're smiling?" "Yes, Sergeant." "Why?" " I've got good news, sir." " What?" "Let us know." "Read!" "Dear Géza," "I sit on the train, following you, maybe I'll found you before evening," "Maybe this face in flames will smooth," "Maybe you'll start to speak in soothe." "The water is running, wash yourself, and here's the towel, dry yourself," " the meat is cooking..." " Stop it!" "Don't fool with me!" "Throw that letter away!" "I was in a cabaret with my wife just a year ago." "We laughed at everything..." "One never is aware of hapiness." "Who's that?" " What happened?" " He cut off his fingers." " He did it with an axe." " Did anyone saw?" " If yes, he'll be couﬂ-maﬂialled." " No one was there." "He asked me to do it first, but I couln't do it." "So he did it himself." "Take him away!" "Come and sit down." "He was a tailor." "Even if he gets away with it..." " A tailor with two fingers..." " If he gets away with it..." "Let's hope he gets away." "Even with two fingers." "His wife was very ill when he left." "He doesn't even know whether she's still alive." "Come on, Steiner, I try to make something out with you." "First we'll head." "I'll do my best, Mr. Onodi." " Where have you been?" " Up on the hill." "To have a look." " We could escape." " Could what?" "Escape." "Woods all round." "We could get far away without leaving the woods." "What is it about?" " To escape?" " Don't shout!" "Balogh, Sztyepén, Danké, go and play." "Come!" "Koczina, you too." "And Steiner!" "You're in it, too?" "I'm, Dié." "And Tanké and Sztyepén too." "I see." "And who'll play?" "Nobody, Dié." "What a nice idea!" "The craziest think I ever heard!" "I'm not participating." "If they catch us, we'll be shot." "We can't accept, that they can trample down on us." "We are not lice!" "We'll try to find the partisans." "We will find them." "I won't go." "It's crazy to escape now." " Just now when we're well off?" " But how long?" "What do you think will happen to us after the match?" "We were brought here to die!" "Don't shout, for God's sake!" "Listen, Récz!" "I'm tired with your bolshevik blarney." "You are fooling everybody." "We get food for playing football and I'm responsible for it." "Don't shout, Dié!" "If one escapes, all of us will be killed." "That's for sure." "Let's escape all together, Mr. Onodi." "You dare to speak?" "You dare to open your mouth?" " No, Mr. Onodi." " Be glad you're alive!" "I'm glad, Mr. Onodi." "Come on!" "Stop this nonsense." "We will play for real." "What are you waiting for?" "Tell me, Onodi." "What did they promise you after the match?" " To take you home?" " You swine, you..." "Or a badge of honour?" "A German badge of honour from Heilig?" " I'll smash you!" " Shut up, Dié!" " I'll kill this bolshi." " Stay still!" "What happened?" "Why are you on the ground?" " Csorba is coming." " Stay still, Dié!" "What happened." "We don't know exactly." "He slipped, or what." "Leave him alone!" "What's wrong, Onodi?" "Are you hurt?" "It's nothing, Corporal." "Come on!" "Give me the ball!" "Form a circle and kick the ball." "Can you go out, Corporal?" "Hardly feel his pulse." "He is very weak." " He isn't coming, yet?" " No." "What takes him so long?" "Tell my wife that I wanted to go home..." " It's not my fault." " We will tell her." "Pestszentlérinc..." "Féklya street 3." "He's coming." "He'll denounce him... for maiming himself." " How much does he wants?" " Too much." "He'll wait till the morning and denounce him." "Will they shoot me?" " What does he want?" " 15 tins of food and 3 cheeses." "Bastard!" "Bastard!" "If he asks, we have to give it." " What from?" " From our extra food." " From the team's extra." " It's more than 4 days rations." "I won't give it." "Five days ago you didn't even know such food existed." "He doesn't want too much." "15 tins for a human life?" "It's nothing." "We have to give it." "And if I won't?" "I'm not a boyscout." "You cannot force me!" "Really?" "Any more objections?" "Dié!" "I will never forget it." "No need to be thankful, Lipték." "I'm not pampered." "And it it's a trap." "He takes the food... and denounces him anyhow?" "Then what?" " Play the drum, Pogény!" " What?" " Anything!" "Corporal!" "Do you want to do business with me?" "Business?" "What business?" "Well..." " Don't fool me, Onodi." " I'm not, Corporal." "What happened?" " Koczina kicked me." " Accidentaly." "I'm sorry." "Damn you, Rudi." "Take care of each other." "He is coming." "Some relaxation." "Run with me!" "One-two, one-two..." "Pogény, you too." "One-two, one-two..." "Run around the green." "One-two..." " Lazy bones!" " Come on, guys!" "Come on, Steiner." "Don't spare with your breath." " What do you want?" " Do you want it?" " Yes, I told you." " Now you can get it." "Look at it first." "Swiss Dunhill." " See that little wheel?" " What is it for?" "It strikes the flint." "Damn!" "Thus little thing automatically changes the flint." " You see." " Yes." " Nice little thing." "What is the price?" " Nothing, Corporal." "Just hold your tongue." " About what?" " About the escape?" "The escape?" "Tie his hands!" "His legs, too." "His mouth!" "Ready." " Let's rest." " No way." "We have to talk while it's dark." "Let's go." "Lieutenant, I report, the players knocked me out" " and ran away." " When?" " This morning." " And you report it now?" "They gagged me, these swines!" "They ought to have been killed long ago." " Leave it to me." " Yes, sir." "Hands up!" " What is it?" " I don't know." " When did it start?" " 15 minutes ago." " What's the time?" " About noon, I think." "Maybe later." "We'll be finished before the evening." "No big deal." "I was a fool to agree." "I've told you not to escape." "Damn Récz!" "Irresponsible swine!" " Leave him in peace." " Poor Récz." "He wanted to live so much." " He adored Piri." "All his thoughts were around her." " Who's Piri?" "His daughter." "We went to the same dance school." "Remember, when she visited me when I had the cold?" "A blond girl in red dress." "I can't remember." "I should have gone back to my company, when you sent me, Mr. Onodi." "Let me out!" "I didn't wanted to escape!" " I don't want to die!" " Stop it, Pogény!" "Let me out!" "I don't want to die." " Can't you hear!" " Don't be hysterical!" " Tell us a story, Dié!" " About what?" "About anything." "Tell us the Swedish woman." "I'm fed up with the Swedish woman." "But really." "I was fed up with her blond whiteness." "I didn't like her." "I didn't love anyone after for real." "Perhaps one girl..." "She just washed my back and she didn't want anything from me." "Attention!" "You're going to play football." "I hope everything will be alright, Onodi." "Yes, sir." "They're building the goals." "The field is almost ready and the German troops will start marching in soon." "It's 2:15 now." "The match begins exactly at 3 o'clock." "You're responsible for it, Onodi." "Yes, sir." "But sir, there's only ten of us." "One man..." " One man..." " I know." "We will organize it." " When did you eat last?" " A day before yesterday." " Bring it in!" " Yes, sir." "Lieutenant, forgive me." "Are you Jénos Zalén?" "Don't you recognize me, Jénos?" "I've lost weight and I'm not shaved." "I'm Ferenczi." "Kornél Ferenczi." " We were together in Berlin, when the Olympics..." " I don't know you." "Here's some jam for you." " And after the match?" "What will be?" " We'll see." "Why didn't you ask him what will be after the match?" "I feel sorry for Récz." "He was a tough guy." "They should have shot Onodi instead." " How can you talk like that?" " I hate him so much!" "I would spit in his face 20 times a day." "He's worse than a whore selling himself for every purpose." "While he thinks he is a star." "It's not a big deal." "Keep the ball away from the goal." "It's our tactics." "If you can't catch the ball, hit it, Géza." "And don't hurry with the kick out." "Look around before that." "You, Steiner, if you have the ball, kick it immediately." " But not to the rivals,' if it is possible." " Yes, Mr. Onodi." " Why don't you dress?" " If only we knew what happens to us." "We will not start anything." " We won't play in a circus." " Do you think, I want?" "I promised to ask Zalén, but get ready first." "I'm responsible for everything." "Do you want to make him mad?" "Don't make a fuss, boys." "Don't upset him." "He is nervous enough." "Dress up!" " May I have the mirror." " Please." "We look fine." "Take a photo and send it home to our wives." "My jam was here." " Who took it?" " And mine?" "And mine!" "Was it you, Pogéﬂy?" " I'm." " You rat!" "Dié!" "Good morning." "I'm allowed to play at last, Mr. Onodi." "What do you know, Mr. Szabé?" "What will be with us after the match?" "You surely know." "They told me to play, because one is out." "One really needs a little exercise." " Where do you want to play?" " I played centre at home." " Center." "But I'll play in the back if you want." " No." "Here, dress up quickly!" " Are you serious, sir?" " Yes, I'm." "I've brought some bacon." "Here you are." "And a knife." "You've had nothing to eat for days." " Thank you, Mr. Szabé." " Welcome." "I spare a very nice bone as well." "I'll make a nice soup for you tonight." "Eat once more." "But don't tell anyone!" "What did you said, Mr. Szabé?" "What?" "What did I say?" "You'll make us a nice soup once more." "That means..." "What's going to happen to us after the game, Mr. Szabé?" "Don't do this with me, Mr. Onodi." "We asked you something." "If you don't want me to smash your head, answer the question!" " Mr. Szabé." " Couﬂ-maﬂial, Mr. Koczina." "Tell Lieutenant Zalén to come here at once!" "We want to talk to him." " How dare you...!" " Shut up!" "I told you to call him!" "Immediately!" "Yes, I'm going." "It's not my fault, that you'll be..." " The morale?" " Excellent!" "Excuse me, madam." "Only there's no amusement out here." "But this match made them enthusiastic." "I hope you'll enjoy it, too, Madam." " Heil, Hitler!" " Heil!" "What an idea?" "!" "This gang..." "There was no choice, Colonel." "They'll do for this one and a half hours." "You want me to watch them the whole afternoon through?" "Then let us sit." "Please." "I asked for a brothel several times, in vain." "They promised us the front line theatre but they didn't come." "Still we have to celebrate our Fijhrefs birthday somehow." "But how, Colonel?" "What did you expected?" "Receiving thanks for your duties?" "It's war around here if you haven't noticed." "You escaped, knocked out a Hungarian soldier stole his gun." "People were hanged for less than that." "We won't play then." "Do you speak for yourself our for the others, too?" "For all of us." "We won't act like fool before our death." "You know what you get for disobeying an order?" " They'll shoot us." " On the spot." "Think it over, Onodi." "Anything might happen till tomorrow." "The game for example." "If the game is a success, you will receive..." "Perhaps..." "I can't make promises, but..." "I give you two minutes to think it over." "If you refuse to play, I have to report it to Colonel Von Stein and no doubt he will have to shoot you right on the spot." " Sieg!" " Heil!" "You rotten beasts!" "Poor Dié!" "These are breed monsters." "They will kill our boys." "You'll see our team won't play." " Impossible, doctor." " Look!" "Zalén is still there." "Who can play with a rope around his neck?" "Maybe they can't, but they will." "They won't if they have the guts." "Good for you." "It's easy to talk." " Good afternoon." " Good afternoon." " What's the news from home." " I have received a letter today." "My younger daughter went to a secretarian school to learn typing." "His sweetheart is an engineer." "That's nice." "Taste it." "My own mix." "Thank you." "I wish I was at home." "I find the whole situation horrible." "Long live the Hungarians!" "Long live Onodi!" "They are coming, it seems." "Don't feel sorry, Dié." "It's all the same for us now." " I wish it was over." " The game and the day..." "Isn't it funny?" "My son will be two months old tomorrow." "I feel ill, Pali." "It's the jam." "Long live the Hungarians!" " Long live the Hungarians!" " Don't shout, Lipték!" "Why do you want to hail them?" "It's the only thing I'm still allowed to do, to shout at a game." "So I shout." "Onodi Due?" "Bene, benissimo!" " Onodf Due, Schneider"." " Ja, fa." "Die, schdn." "It's crazy, Mr. Onodi." "They all know you." "What a great thing!" "What difference does it make under the gallows." "Don't talk like that." "What's wrong with you, Pogény?" "He ate too much." "He ate too much again." " A fine start!" " Scoundrels!" " You're not even trying." " Hold your tongue!" "Don't shout stupid things." "You go forward, Mr. Szabé." "I'll take the Pogény's place." "Why you, Mr. Onodi." "What can we do without you?" "Won't you have a cup of tea, darling?" "A good idea!" "He likes tea very much." "And it will do my throat good." "I have to be careful." "I'll sing tonight." "One momentuTell me, which one is Onodi ll?" " That one, who went back." " He hasn't even touched the ball." "Tell me, is it true, that tomorrow all of them...?" "Most likely." "I'm sorry." "Tell Corporal Csorba, the man with the bandaged head to come here with my samovar at once." "He has to report here within 30 minutes." "Steiner!" "They found out there's a Jew in the team." "There will be a scandal, you see." "Give 'em, Balogh!" "Come on, Dié!" "The idiot!" "He closes his eyes instead of defending." " Come on, boys." " What's the matter with you, Dié?" " Attack, Dié!" "I" " Why didn't you, Mr. Onodi?" "You'll know if you were going to be hanged." "Why are your here in the back?" "Go to your place!" "Géza, watch out!" " Where are you going?" " I want to see it." "Give me your watch then." "The watch stays with me until the end of the game." "You will get it if you take me home." "It was the deal." "No way." "You'll disappear here." "That's for sure." "It's so easy for me." "Steiner!" "What's the matter, Steiner?" "Why are you standing here?" "The game is on." " Szeleczky!" " Koczina!" " Itt a joke!" "3:0. ," " What are you doing, Onodi?" "Dié!" "Dié!" " Guszti!" "Guszti, you're here?" " What's the matter, Dié?" " You have to attack!" " That's why you ate the extra food." "Here." "Eat all our bread!" "You swine!" "Bastard!" "You defend this rabble?" "They sold themselves to the Germans!" "They're clowns." "Watch out, Onodi!" "Dié, you're alone." "Dié!" "Goal!" "Long live, Onodi!" "Long live, Dié!" "I can play now, Dié." "I'm better now." "If we refused to play it would be all over." "You're not right, Karécsony." "Never give up hope." "I take it for granted that after the match..." "You'll see." "Tomorrow you'll be pardoned." "You'll see." "Don't make me laugh, Mr. Szabé, because I'll die laughing." "We're lice and they'll kill us whenever they like." "Récz was right." "And we are contented to be lice." "Is there anything left of that bacon, which Mr. Szabé brought?" "Here." "Good day." "How are you, Mr. Future Corpses?" " Leave them alone, Csorba." " Why?" "They weren't gentle with me either." "Future corpses, aren't they?" "You know." "You are a filthy man, Csorba!" "I'm not too often in such fine company, as with you." "I made a good bu,siness with this lighter, Onodi." "I like it very much." "Don't you regret it?" "This game is damn good!" "I saw only the last 10 minutes." "I have never laughed so much in my life." "What are you doing there?" "I saw the Rivels in a circus, but that was nothing compared to this." "So what?" "You aren't in a talking mood." "An excellent goal, Dié!" "You have to win this game, boys!" "Don't let yourselves!" "You have to cover everybody." "Cover and attack!" "The two most important things." "You can't win without it." "What's the matter with you?" "There is another half-time." "What are you doing here?" "How dare you come in here?" " I report, I came to see the game." " He is my guest, Corporal." "Repaying my last visit." "How date you get out from the hospital and come here?" "Spreading viruses which you carrying." "Go to hell from here!" "Yes, Corporal." "You stay here!" " Go away, Corporal!" " I don't understand." " What did you said, Onodi?" "!" " I said, go away!" "You can't scare with your gun, you idiot!" "I don't care whether I die today or tomorrow." "Get out, you bastard!" "You can go to your superior to report!" "Go!" " What have you done, Dié!" " Pour water on my neck!" "Let's start the second half." " Attack, Dié!" "Come on!" " Not yet." "Don't worry." " If it goes in..." " Attack, Hungarians!" "Attack, Hungarians!" "Cheer them!" "We should win the game." "Attack, Hungarians!" "Attack, Hungarians!" "Goal!" "Goal!" "3:2." "That was something!" "What a great heading!" "Yes." "It was beautiful, Mr. Onodi." "Congratulations." "Rotten beasts!" "Hurray Hungarians!" "Excellent, Geza!" "It was great!" "Murderers!" "Nazi murderers!" " What did he say?" " It was a fault." "No doubt." " What's wrong?" " My leg___" " Try to stand up!" " I can't..." " You have to!" "Hurray Hungarians!" "Don't rest, Géza!" "Give out the ball!" " Don't hold it." " Don't waste the time." " I've lost my voice, doctor." " It will come back." "Steiner, do the best!" "This Steiner is a genius!" "Koczina!" " What's the problem, Steiner?" " Nothing, Mr. Onodi." "Nothing happened." "Nothing." "You understand?" "Nothing." "I tell you, nothing happened." "I'm the referee here!" "Penalty kick." "Attention!" "Russian aircrafts!" "Alarm!" "Down!" "Don't kick in, Onodi!" "Listen, Onodi!" "Don't kick in!" " We have a penalty kick!" " Stop this madness!" "Don't kick in!" "We will forget the escape." "I promise you won't be punished." "Listen to him Dié." "Don't kick in!" "Do you hear?" "They'll kill us, Dié!" "Long live Hungarians!" "Do your best, boys!" "You have to win, Dié!" "Do your best!" "You have to win!" "It was great!" "Dié!" "What was that?" "What is hapenning here?" " This is only a game, sir." " A game?" "Do you know what it is?" "It's a revolt." "You'll be a player at last, Steiner!" "We're leading!" "We're leading!" "Sing!" "One...two...three..." "Dié!"
