"Section of ball with space less one dimension containing centre is ball in space less one dimension and the same radius." "You are not taking notes?" " I memorize better this way." "Why don't you repeat, while I do the dishes?" "We shall have the exam in March." "If we keep the pace, we can take it." "Arandjel!" "A Sunday dream." "Wednesday, the 16th." "The day he started his voyage" "Columbus did not know that the 1492 was the year of the discovery and of oblivion." "The rebels were hungry, but too proud to surrender." "They feared that the black horsemen would burn down their holy places." "The water will get cold." " You must listen carefully!" "They didn't fear to die of sword." "They feared to die of hunger." "In their small church they ate mortar of the walls." "They ate their saints!" "They ate them." "What does the 1492 mean to you?" "Discovery of America." "The plague in Europe." "Why do you need it?" " Broadening my knowledge." "Are you?" "You know that the Chinese call this day "lap tzung"?" "Get out of here!" "Come to see something." "Watch this!" "On that day, you can put a fresh egg in a vertical position." "It's boiled." "One world will be discovered, the other concealed." "To which one do I belong?" "Well, let's see." "Zero is an empty group." "And one is a group of all previously formed numbers." "Meaning, that one is a group whose element is a naught." "The water is leaking." " What?" "In the bathroom." "Two is a group of all numbers preceding zero and one" "i." "E, the group whose one element is zero and the other element the group whose element is zero." "Addition?" "What?" "!"

"The maths student?" "It doesn't matter any more." "It's over." "Bye." "The lady comes and goes." "Well done!" "Well done!" "Let the present full of stars travel with us." "It will meet our future somewhere in space." "For the journey!" "The journey!" "I like this taste." "Me too." "Try to sit beside me at the exam tomorrow." "If you get confused..." "That's me."

"You know that I know everybody here." "He is not registered." "Impossible!" "We study together." "Take a look." "You know that I'm busy!" "Arandjel." "His surname?" " I don't know." "If Zorica sees us, she'II gossip all over the place." "He is really not registered!" "Who is he?" "The guy I study with." "Impossible!" "How come?" "No idea." "Why would one study, if he wasn't at the college?" "Really, why would anyone?" "Why are you following me?" "You don't understand." "You need me." "May I speak to Smiljka, please?" "I see." "Thank you." "A friend." "Bye." "Smiljka!" "It's me." "Tell me where I can find Arandjel." "Please." " I don't want to talk about him." "I'II call you Dima." "Dimitrije." "Hi." " Hi, Ivan." "Is it male or female?" " I don't know." "You should have set up an alarm, Miss Liza." "That's what I'm telling everybody." "It's no use." "Is anything missing?" " I don't know yet." "Let me help you." " No, thank you." "I won't be keeping you long." "We are very happy with the boy's progress." "Has he mentioned a Kacuncica?" "Yes, but..." " It's all his imagination, Miss Liza." "At first we laughed." "Then it became serious." "We got worried." "He dislikes being an only child." "But that's not of your concern." "It's just imagination." " May I use your phone?" "Of course." "Has she mentioned Kacuncica?" "Sorry, enough for today." "I'm tired." "Close your eyes." "Like those in your aquarium." "Where did you find them?" " Kacuncica did." "In a courtyard nearby." "Where the hell are you?" "Ciao, Liki." " Someone broke into my place." "Nothing's missing except my diary." "Erased from the memory." "I don't have it on a diskette." "Don't worry." "We'll fix it up somehow." "Listen:" "The colours concur with musical intervals." "Seven notes-seven colours." "So they can sing." "They read colours like notes." " Turn the music down!" "What music?" "No music here." " Oh, it is here!" "OK, you're not in shape today." "I'II leave you alone." "He was hungry." "Wonderfully hungry!" "I enjoy watching him eat." "How did you enter?" "Who do you think I am?" "Such a smart girl!" "What do you think?" "You're an engineer." " Engineer?" "And you want to leave an engineer!" "It's not that easy." "You are in love?" "You, who think you're the smartest, you're the dumbest!" "He was hungry." "He was hungry!" "It was his only meal secured for the day." "And you thought he was studying because of you!" "To pay for a meal by studying!" "You can't understand such honesty!" "The egg is in the safe." " No, no." "I don't want you to have anything on you." "Nothing on your skin." "Nothing but me!" "Why are you doing this to me?" "I want you to want..." "See?" "Good afternoon." "I'm not mistaken." "We have a lesson today." "What did that cop want?" "You know what I want." "I haven't seen him for a long time." "Where is he?" " I don't know." "Talk!" "He was working in the museum." "Which one?" " The National Museum." "Where is everybody?" "I'II drink your juice." "You drank my juice?" "I thought I was locked in!" "Calm down, lady." "I'm looking for Arandjel." "We study together." " Arandjel?" "He worked here as a night watch." "So, he quit?" "Yes, suddenly." "Where did he go?" " I don't know." "That's all he left." "ARCHITECTURE?" "This is it!" "Hi, I am Liza." "Do you know Arandjel?" "Everybody knows him." "Where can I find him?" "Past the church and the beehive." "That's where he is." "Welcome!" "What's the trick?" "There is no trick." "Thus you feed your soul in the mirror, as well." "You must keep it under your tongue while you eat." "That's the custom." "What's the matter?" "I swallowed it up." "Here's another one." "We are all full now." "Our souls and ourselves." "Why are you hiding?" "Why are you looking for me?" " Because you're hiding." "Arandjel, set me free!" "Open it up!" "Come." "You want to hunt, huh?" "Come on." "Earth heals everything." "Who is he?" "He?" "Arandjel." "Your mathematics, Liza, is based on three immeasurable elements." "Can you measure a point?" "The singular or the present moment?" "Of course you can't." "Then how can we trust this mathematics?" "Byzantine blue." "The paint of heaven on the frescoes in churches." "It contains calcium, copper, silicon." "And a fourth element." "I've never found out which one." "Resistant to humidity, light, time, absolutely everything." "The paint is eternal." "All my life I've been trying to find out." "But my paint is always peeling off." "Imagine the earth spliting in two under us." "The space in between filled with an immense ocean." "The lands, so far from one another." "Impossible to bridge over the space." "Or imagine a wall emerging between us." "A huge one." "High as the sky." "So you can't climb over it." "Then imagine..." "Me on one side of the wall, you on the other." "Or just imagine me living in one time, you in another one." "I don't want to imagine that." "I love you." "Sleep." "Do you think it will grow up?" "Women's blood is the fourth element." "IVAN, KACUNCICA" "Her real name is Europe." "His, the Balkans." "Milorad Pavic" "Subtitle by:" "= LazicArtLab = Lazic Nenad, Ljig"
