"Oh, right." "Listen... do you know what they say about me in the theater?" " That I'm an erotomaniac." " What's that?" " Let's not go into that." " Why not?" "An erotomaniac wants to screw everybody." "Really?" "Yes, but it's not true." "I only want to screw you." "Since I saw you in that overall I've felt I gotta tear it off." "Do you know what feeling?"

"My maiden name is Luca Dorner." "Makes no difference, the resolution is clear." "The van will come for you, you may take a 1000 pounds of belongings." "You'd better take food for two days with you." " Are you still here?" " No, absolutely not." "What shall I get for this?" "Lucy Sziraky's outstanding stand-in." "You can't imagine how hard it was to squeeze it into paper." "I've been trying to get you for years..." "I even wrote a poem to you." "I love nature's golden gift's but even more Lucy's tits." "You have the finest tits in the whole peace camp." "Erno, there's something I'd like to ask you to do." "Ask me anything if I can also ask something in return." "Okay." "See to it that this gets invalidated."

" Do sit beside the window." " Thank you." "Take your luggage off the seats." "Excuse me for not recognizing you immediately." "Lucy Sziraky?" " YES." " The actress?" "Why is the window lime washed?" "Well, I haven't had the time to think about that." "Aren't you a little naive, my dear?" "We only want to purge you as to class, as comrade Stalin put it." "We don't want to destroy anyone in particular." "Don't get frightened." "We're to distribute you." "Those who work and behave well will be all right." "Is that clear?" "Are you crazy?" "What are you doing?" "Come over here." "We'll classify you as class enemies" "Former landlords to the right, former company owners and other capitalists to the left, former army officers and ministers to the middle." "Is that clear?" "Are you crazy?" "Fools!" "I'll have you all arrested!" "Stop it!" "Come over here!" "I'm captain Sandor Matura, county police chief." "You can find me at the Schneider mansion." "That's my office and home." "Those who have nothing to fear, shouldn't be afraid, is that clear?" "Halt!" "But if you had something to fear, be afraid!" "Note that!" "Everything is well organized." "Everybody will be called by the kulak who is to put you up." "Move it!" "Miter..." ""What's it worth..." "Miter... " Can you see that?" " Where should I stand, captain?" " I stated clearly, didn't I?" "But I'm neither a capitalist, nor a landlord, nor a minister." " What are you then?" " I'm an actress." " How come you here then?" " I've no idea." "Give me the resolution." "What are you lying about?" "You're countess Sziraky." "Join the feudal group!" "Firstly, I'm not lying, I really am an actress." "Secondly, use this tone with your dog or your maid or your child, but not with me." "d Kulaks can be recognized by all their black houses, d d by their 200 pound fat pigs, their bulging pulses. d d Hey, inimical kulak mob, now we don't fear you. d d In vain you are grumbling, 'cause now we live well, too. d" "God is going to punish you!" "d Kulaks can be recognized by all their black faces, d d by their hidden wheat and gold kept in secret places. d" "This is an idiot!" "He painted us black, too!" "Who's he?" "Kiptar, the teacher." "His crank is to paint black those he want to punishes, and red those he likes." "I thought you'd come with your husband." " You don't have a husband." " Me either." "I mean mine is in jail." "That isn't good anyway." "They punish us with you and you with us." "That's your room." "Good morning." "The actress?" "She's still asleep." "Wake up, madam!" "Wake up, madam!" "What's it?"

"I truly agree, but until then, please come to work with us." "I even signed a contract on your behalf." " What contract?" " To the State Farm" "I've organized three brigades to hoe the maize." "We even get some money, and warm meal once a day" " I don't want to hoe the maize!" " Calm down." ""If you don't work, you don't eat. " I perfectly agree with that." "We shouldn't demonstrate that we are a lazy lot, but that we can adapt to the circumstances, and prove with manual labor that we have our roots in this land." "Even now, when it doesn't belong to us." "That's too complicated." "We can put it more simply." "Start for the maize field!" "Aren't you hot?" "Water!" "Who wants water?" " Would you like some?" " I don't drink, my dear." " Aren't you thirsty, madam?" " I'd like some, please." "My pleasure." "What are you giggling about?" "We can skip our exams." "You like it." "Gentlemen!" "Dear gentlemen!" "For God's sake, what are you doing?" "This is maize, not weed!" "You can't do it like that!" "I'm sorry, we weren't taught that in Auschwitz." "d Kulaks can be recognized by all their black houses, d d by their 200 pound fat pigs, their bulging pulses. d d Hey, inimical kulak mob, now we don't fear you. d" "Excuse me." "Come on." "Move it."

"Lions roar." "Of course there's something excitingly frightening about that." "And it's hard to communicate with the natives." "They don't speak your language." "Here they do." "That's a great advantage." "Good afternoon!" "Excuse me, dear sir, where do the Zichys live?" "The Count Zichys." "There are so many counts here!" "Thank you very much." "Good-bye!"

"They should be brought closer." "If you could visit us in the school once..." "What instruments do you play, comrade?" "Piano, clarinet, violin, and the saxophone a bit." "Incredible."

"When the farmer chase away poor Jancsi Kukorica." "There's something wrong here." "They're all mean kulaks." "But the others?" "The poor peasants, the cottars?" "Why don't they defend him?" "The question is real." "What obviously disturbs you is that the play depicts peasantry as a homogeneous social class." "That's exactly the point, Mr. Samodai." "So write in a few poor peasants and laborers on Jancsi's side." " Is that allowed?" " Everything is allowed today." "d Me the king of the shepherds, I'm grazing my herd. d d I don't care about weather, it's summer in my heart... d" "Why don't you sing Jonas Vitez, you've such a fine voice." "You think so?"

" Ask them." "It's awful, you're a decent prole." "Write to Comrade Rakosi." " What for?" "He wouldn't read it." " He would, he reads everything." "If you wish I could write the letter." " Don't bother, sir." " Call me Jozsef." "Don't bother, Jozsef." "But if you could forward this..." " What's that?" " An application to the Minister of the Interior." "I see." "I agree."

" Please don't interfere." "You can type a lot of things:" "Leaflets, propaganda." " Is that clear?" " It is." "But I haven't type anything like that." "We'll see." "Stand against the wall." "You too, Lucy Sziraky." "Tum to the wall!" "We're preparing a cultural program with the gentleman and the lady." "They help us a lot." "Comrade Captain, what's that?" "What's this gibberish?" "Kernel Samodai!" "What are these?" "I'm learning Chinese." "Why Chinese?" "The momentous victory of the Chinese people's army induced me to learn the language" " Don't you agree?" " Let me tell you something." "The report was made someone among you." "I'm not surprise." "There are also mean persons among us." "Are you really learning Chinese?" "Amazing." "How do they say:" "It's evening, I'm hungry." "Is that all?" "YES." "Amateur." "Pardon?" "A dilettante." "A super dilettante, mustn't be allowed on stage." "Repeat that, will you?" "I learned for three years at the best Italian singing teacher." "If you'd learned for 30 years you'd still be untalented." "Let's not overdo it, nobody said the madam was a professional." "She'll do in the harvest show." "Then I won't sing!" "I don't mingle with dilettantes." "Who do you think you are?" "A little bitch who sneaked in with our company!"

"Holy Jesus!" "Doesn't anyone have a minor?" "Here you are." "Thanks." "God!" "I look awful." "Captain, let me go to town to the hairdresser's." "Look, I can't perform like this" "Originally I was a brunette, you know." "You're beautiful like this, too." "Please, give your permission" "I beg you." "We have to create illusions after all." "You know what?" "Go." " Hello, uncle Bela!" " Hi, Lucy." "Shall I be nice, Charlie?" "I'll make you a magnificent head." "I could do with that." "Borica!" "I just heard you were here." "Let me see you!" " My God, how can you put up with that?" " Well, you can." "I'd drunk cyanide if I were you." "No, that would have ruined my voice." "Mad girl, you haven't changed a bit." "Come on, tell me about it!" "Hi, Lucy." "Sziraky, darling!" "This can't be true." "What could be done, Lucy?" "Isn't it a single man in the country who'd arrange it?" "Tell me who to go to bed with, just to get back on stage." "I've brought you a few pies, Lucy!" "My God, thank you!" "Jesus, you're so thin!" "What do you eat there actually?" "Well, I lost six pounds." "But my ass was too big anyway." "Unlike mine." "How do you spend the time?" "We single turnips, hoe maize carry manure, the days pass" "But now we're preparing a show."

"From the Gerbeaud." "Mignons!" "After all, Gerbeaud stays the same." "That keeps my hopes alive." "Lucy, would you like a mignon?" "No thanks." "She wouldn't like one." "Where have you been?" "The whole evening we were waiting you at the rehearsal." "I was worried sick." "I feared something had happened to you" "I'm all right, as you see." "I knew you'd come back, once you promised it." "Where were you the whole night?" "At your friend, comrade Captain Matura." "In the mansion?" "What did he want from you?" "He showed me Domino." "That's a famous winning horse, in case you don't know." "Then we sang." "Duets." "Did you know your friend was a fan of the operettas?" "I didn't know that." "He should be invited to the cultural brigade." "He'd be a great." "You think so?" "Attention!" "All deported persons are to appear at 4 am in front of the village cemetery." "They're to bring a spade, hoe and other tools with them." "Spade?" "Hoe?" "There'll be executions!" " Do you know what they want?" " No." "Do you want to see me?" "Yes, we do." "You've heard the order I presume." "I haven't heard anything." "You heard that?" "She hasn't heard it." "She must be one of them!" "She's with them, the mean..." "Silence!" "Lucy Sziraky." "You haven't heard we are to be at the cemetery at 4 a. m." "with spades and hoes?" "I haven't." "Why are we to go there?" "Why?" "That's exactly what we'd like to know." "First they'll have us dig a hole, then..." "I have good imagination." "Shot in the neck!" "But I won't wait for this!" "Let's escape!" "Spread out and hide!" "Escape, in this tiny country?" "Where?" "I don't care." "Let them do what they want." " I'm tired." " Excuse me..." "I hope you know now what they want." "I don't know." "We thought somebody should get information about their plans." " And you are the one." " You're on good terms with them" "No offence intended, my dear." "We don't blame you." "We all try to survive as we can." "I'm not going anywhere." "I told you!" "This slut won't do anything for us." "We're going to die and she'll be singing for the comrades." "Excuse me, I'd gladly sacrifice myself." "You shouldn't sacrifice anything." "Our little company has chosen you." "That's it." "What do you say, Kernel?" "LOOK." "Their curiosity is quite understandable." "Many people's fate might be in question." "Elderly people, children." "That's no joke." "I want to see comrade Matura." "Good evening." "Who's that?" "It's me Lucy Sziraky." "Lucy Sziraky, personally?" "Whatever brought you here?" "I'd like to ask something." "Get this thing off of me." "What's so urgent then?" "What's up?" "Have you never seen a man with flu?" "Chamomile?" "There's some in it, too." "I'd like to ask you why we have to go to the cemetery at 4 a. m.?" "What do you mean?" "Have their lordships shit in their pants?" "There'll be a general caterpillar extermination." "The best orchard is beside the cemetery." "This year it's full of worms" "You said you didn't earn enough." "You'll get 2.30 forints an hour." "I arranged it for you" "But I expect no gratitude." "Thank you very much." "Which of you is Kernel Samodai?" " That's me." " Come out immediately." "Here's the order." "You'll come with us." " May I get dressed?" " That's unnecessary." " May I dry myself at least?" " Yes." "Get in!" " Can we stop here?" " Yes." "Come on, get out!" "Go on!" "You really speak Chinese?" "Mainly the Beijing dialect." "Put these on, please." "We expect a highly esteemed Chinese military delegation." "You'll be the interpreter for the comrade minister." "Why was this Samodai taken away?" "He looked like decent man." ""Looked like"?" "How do you imagine the enemy?" "With devil's horns, knife in the mouth?" "Can they do that?" "Just take someone away like that?" "A former landlord used to be an exploiter" "Which means a sworn enemy of our system." "Isn't that enough to arrest somebody?" "And the cultural brigade?" "How do we manage without him?" " He'd the perfect pitch." " He'll join the prison band." "What if you sang?" "I hear you have a great voice." "Who told you that?" "I just heard you had a great bass voice." "Go to hell." "Culture is suspended as of today." "You're the Party secretary." "What about compulsory delivery?" "And political work?" "For three weeks not a single egg, not a chicken has been brought in." "Not mentioning diary produces." " They've got nothing to deliver." " Do the peasants deceive you?" "The more they cry the more you must keep an eye on them." " God will punish you!" " Go about your business!" "Good morning, Captain!" "How are you doing?" "Better than you think..." "little countess." "Good evening." "She's at home." "Good evening." "I'm sorry to barge in like that" " Can I have a glass of water?" " Sit down." "Thank you." "Here you are." "I've good news." "Has my application replied?" "May I go back to Pest?" "Not that." "But our program was granted permission." "Nine more chickens, 26 eggs, 20 pounds fat." "There were certain conditions." "The foundation had to be restored" " to build the superstructure." " I don't care." "You don't care taking culture to the fields, to the workers?" "You can't be serious." "Your soul is full of kindness." "Forget my soul, man." "But the comrades up there also know about it." " I invited them." " Where?" "To our harvest show." "You must appear there, you can't let us down!" "What else do you want?" "Come on, have it!" "What way would you like it?" "Don't play the saint." "You can do whatever you want." " Please forgive me." " I should forgive you?" "I should forgive you?" "You brought me here into this slimy mud hole," "And I should forgive you?" "Well, I won't!" "Do you understand?" "I won't!" " Go to hell you all!" " Me?" "Who wants a new world where everyone is free and happy?" "Because I don't watch it idly...?" "You think it's easy for me?" "What are you doing, comrades?" "Oh God..." "That's blood..." "Did they beat you up?" "I wasn't beaten up." "It's paint." "You were painted red." "I'm going to marry you" " What are you saying?" " A fictions marriage..." " and then you can go back to Pest." " Shut up." "There'll be nothing between us." "Take care you'll get red..." "Poor thing... poor thing..." "My dear God..." "Come on!" "So there we are with comrades' greeting." "Stop the machine!" "Come, we're starting the program." "But we must work." "It's a program for you!" "From the men of culture to the men of the fields." "We've got artist from the capital you've never seen." "Let me introduce you..." "Lucy Sziraky." "Sit down, everybody!" "We're starting the program." "Come over here, you, too!" "Jonas Hary:" "Recruiting song." " We must work." " We know that." "Sit down comrades." "Closer, closer!" "Everybody!" "We're starting the program!" "The brave cavalryman has such a wonderful life!" "Eating, drinking in his tent, he has nothing to care about..." " Do you have a stage fever?" " A bit." "I've never perfumed in the fields." "I also have a bit of stage fever." "I've brought you something." "That's his orange." "The one I haven't eaten." "Put it away." "It brings luck." " Are you comrade Kiptar?" " Yes, I'm Jozsef Kiptar." "I'm from the county paper." " The comrades are coming." " What comrades?" "From above." " "Culture to the field workers. "" " That's us." "Congratulations." "I'd make some photos." "Of course." "Let me introduce you actress Lucy Sziraky." "Come, watch our program." "And now a ceremonial speech, delivered by Jozsef Kiptar." "That's me." " Can you hear me, comrades?" " I'm late." "How is it going?" "Very well." "My friends." "What would I like to tell you?" "I'm full of love today and I can feel that you love me, too." "Even if I you can't express that." "Why are you staring at me like that?" "I know deep inside you love me even though you beat me up, you painted me red." "What's this jerk talking about?" "Who painted him red?" "Did you know about this?" "It's very hot." "I'll get some water." "What I take away was for the city workers, who are also starving." "The main thing is that we love each other, comrades." "Even when we are starving." "I believe in that." "And if I get wounds, get painted red, then I'm red." "And stay that way." "That's no shame." "Comrades." "People!" "Workers!" "Believe me!" "If we hold each other's hand, a world will come there's no bread ration, meat ration or truncheons." "Only peace and abundance." "Some comrades are going to join this little celebration whom you've never dared to dream about." "And here come the comrades!" "Look, they're coming!" "Let the machine roar, let the cheering boom!" "Hurrah!" "Let the machine roar!" "Where are you going, comrades?" "Stop!" "We are here!" "Stop!" "Stop the machine!" "Everybody freeze!" "Sabotage!" "Stop!" "I don't want to come here!" "Why are you bringing me here?" " What do you want from me?" " Room confinement." "Don't worry, only until the investigation lasts" "What investigation?" "Everyone will be questioned." "You witnessed the sabotage." "Get out!" ""You're a cold statue"" "Birds singing so happy among the wild green leaves," "Flowers lightly kissed by the gentle summer breeze," "Everything down under and high above" "has the fervent longing to feel love." "I'd tell you the secret of my heart," "I'd tell you it's you I dream about," "I'd tell you but it'd be in vain," "You're a cold statue, you'd never know the pain." "Do you let me in?" "Should I put the candle into the window?" "My dear Lucy, we'll understand each other." "You'll see, you can love me." "I'm just a man, too." " What do you want?" " Shut up." "Hands up." "Go to the wall." "Which one of you is Lucy Sziraky?" "You're to come with us." "Put on some make-up." "Put on some make-up." "Sing the scales." " What?" " Practice the scales, come on!" "Dear Lucy!" "We've won!" "History has justified us!" "I became a director, and you got the role of Stazy." "Entertainment is the future." " Erno!" "What are you doing here?" " It's fantastic!" "I was just placed here." "It's a gala performance and we got no Stazy." "Erzsi Bokros got hepatitis." " Is that some luck for you!" " You're so pale!" " Just forget everything." " What should I forget?" "Well, not your role." "Everything in general." "Hello, Lucy." "Everyone is here." "Even comrade Bastya." "Are you satisfied?" "You've never had such an audience." "I won't go on stage." "What?" " What are you talking about?" " Look, my heel is broken." "What?" "I'll get you a hundred new pair of shoes." "Still, I won't go on stage." "Why not, you idiot?" "Perhaps I'm not in the mood." "Perhaps I've no voice." "And my heel is broken." "Stupid chick!" "Who do you want to play games with?" "Dirty bitch!" "They'll cut our balls off, send us to jail!" "I don't care." "And the audience?" "And the ministry?" "What now?" "Where are you going?" "Stop!" "Ladies and gentlemen our management regrets to inform you that tonight's special performance of the Czardasfulirstin..." "We got her." "We'll do it." "Is still to be held." "Let go of me!"
