"All right, then ask." " That´s right, yes." "Wait...could you please tell us, where we´d find the recreation chalet ,Joy?" - ,Joy?"" "Well, look here..." "...it´s that big building up there, see?" "A bit high up, isn´t it?" " Yeah." "The one with the green roof, is it?" " Yeah, the one with the green roof." "I´ll be dammed." " Quite a palace, isn´t it?" "I should say, granny, they can´t push us into some hut for that much." "That´s right, I´ll get a postcard right away." "That Suchankova is going to stare, what?" " Yeah, she is!" "From the outside it´s certainly worth the bucks we´ve paid for it.." " Yeah." "And if it´s that grand inside too, then,..." "Heavens, leave it standing here,..." "...or you´ll go and break it." "You must keep an eye on him." " You can go and settle in." "Comrade, you with the skis, come down." "You can´t do this, really you can´t." "There´s a ski-shed outside, on your left." "Children...now then, Mervin dear..." " Can you please come here?" "!" "Well, what about it?" " Yes, what do I do with you?" "I really don´t know what to do about it." " lt´s eleven o´clock already... I don´t know, I really don´t." " Ouch... I´m sorry..." " Look here, you carry those skis like a pitch-fork, that´s not the way to carry them, you must hold them closer, like this!" "Will you please do something about us?" "!" "Dear friends, there is nothing for you to do but wait and hope that those Homolka people aren´t coming, or if they do come, to persuade them to." "Yes, but how long do we..." "Jesus Christ, if only God were good to us and they didn´t arrive..." "Well, Granddad..." " Come on, get a bit of a move on." "Some climbing, this." " That´s right." "This is awful, what a steep slope." "Well of course, remember we´re up in the mountains, nothing but hills here..." "mountains, see." "Come along, Granddad, come along." " Come on, get a move on." "Wait a moment, Louie dear, put those suitcases down and listen." "Well, what is it now?" " Come on, dad, wait listen, come on, dad." "Look here, let´s promise each other that we´ll be nice to each other, shall we?" "But we are nice to each other, aren´t we?" "Well - well now, wait, children, I really mean it." "I think we should really try and enjoy this week here as best we can, see?" "!" "We keep being horror to each other all the time, so let´s be nice to each other here, considering it costs such a lot of money, see?" "I´m in favour, well, what do you say?" " What do you say, dad?" "I´ve been saying this for thirty-five years, and without the money too." "I was always in favour." " l´m in favour too." "Do you know what?" "We´ll all be in favour, shall we?" "Sort of?" " But I really am in favour." "But seriously." " And when somebody starts forgetting to be good..." "Well, what?" " He´ll pay fine - a bottle." "Not a bottle, dad - a box of chocolates, surely!" "I suggest that when one of us starts being horrid to anyone..." "Well, he or she´ll go and kneel down in some corner as punishment." "Look here, I´m really wondering who´ll be kneeling first." "You don´t know who´ll be kneeling first?" "Granddad will." "Sit still and be a good boy, Mervin." "Wow, look at that..." " Wouldn´t this make a lovely photo." "This is what I call air for a breather, what." "What do you say, dad?" "The money this cost, they could have taken us up, that´s what I think." "Lovely, isn´t it." "Hey there, Joey, just the person I want." "My name´s Joe." " Look here, wait, wait, look here, you´ve got a sledge, I´ve got a suitcase, let´s join forces - well?" "Goodness, isn´t this nice..." " lsn´t it just  now then, wait." "Now then, put it down!" " l´m in favour." "... let´s have a breather - at least we can enjoy it and inspect these panoramas." "You should never start smoking, Joe, or have you started already?" "I´d end up like Batka, no indeed..." " How did he end up?" "He jumps onto a drum." " A drum?" "Yeah, and he a gymnast." "Well - well then, you see, Joe." "Ooh - catch that ski for me!" "... just look, great, isn´t it?" " Yes, that´s right." "Ooh!" "What´s this what on earth are you doing?" "Silly rascals." " Leave that, leave it alone, I have some valuables in there." "What are you doing?" "You could have crippled me." " This is going to cost you a lot of money." "What´s all this silly talk about money?" "There are children here and the road..." "Couldn´t you have been more careful?" "!" "Do you realise what could have happened?" "You know what, give me a break... lt hurts, right..." "You´re gonna pay for this, you know?" "Mind out!" "Listen, I´ve had enough..." "stop mocking around... I´m sick of you...." "Jesus, this is as busy as Wenceslas Square!" "You bitches, can´t you even drive... so why get onto them?" "!" "Didn´t l say so - please - you´re in the right clothes." "Look here, don´t say that, this is a child, he´ll get wet and catch cold and what are we gonna do then - common..." "Look here, that gentleman over there threw the sledge down, see?" "Look here, this is your sledge, is it?" "Will you lend it to us?" "But I´ve already lent it to that man over there." "Never mind him." "Now then, this is great." "Listen, don´t you you think your behaviour is rather odd?" "It´s your behaviour that´s odd, my man." " And can you tell me why?" "Look here...hey there - lend us our sleigh... we´ll take our suitcases up - come on - l´ll give you a crown." "Hey there, boy, lend us that sleigh of yours I lent it to that gentleman over there." "Joe´s a real character, not as you." "Oh all right, we only need it for your cases, that´s all..." "Damn, drop it..." " ... don´t start getting hysterical..." "Dad, don´t behave like a kid..." "Surely we can´t start pulling at it like children!" "Mind out, take that suitcase away, mind..." "Don´t crash into my suitcase, please no... I´ve got some valuables in it!" "Lend us a handkerchief, dear." " All right." "All this..." "Mind out, do take care, slowly now, mind." "Good day to you." "Do you happen to be the Homolkas, please?" "You are the Homolkas" " Christ - good day to you..." "I´m Mrs. Burda." "Burda." "We are the Novaks." "Yes, but what..." "Such an unpleasant thing happened to us...we are two families, don´t know each other at all, naturally - we have only just met and we have one room." "We can´t share one room - and we´re to alive in one room, all together..." "Really, and we had no idea that we should have specified some requirements" "Well and now - here they are, we don´t know them... they don´t know us - the children are here..." "Mrs. Burda, permit me..." " You tell them, Hugo dear." "Well, you´re all one family, aren´t you..." "That we are." " Yes..." "And you have two rooms." "...and you´re one family..." "Yes." "And we´re two families who are absolute strangers..." "Well and what´s all this about?" " We have one room, with a screen." "And we have children too..." " Two strange families in one room?" "Surely not." " Dreadful, isn´t it." "We thought that maybe you could..." "Now I understand, I see, I really do..." "Look..." "They are two families and they have one room, and they´d like to swop with us, because we´re sort of one family." "How´s that, excuse me..." "Oh no indeed..." "Surely you wouldn´t like to be all squeezed up like sardines... after all the money this has cost us..." " Certainly not - look here, if we´ve once got the chance of living separately when we´re on holiday, well then we´ll jolly well live separately." "Oh I see, are you an artist?" "Do you know that I felt it, right away?" "I really have a nose for such things." "I knew right away you were something extra." "Look here, Mr. Homolka, please try and imagine our situation," "We are ... ehm ..." "... we are on a honeymoon." "all that money we paid out of our own pockets." "We paid too." " Now really, Mrs. Homolka, after paying all that money, we´ve got a right to have a room to ourselves!" "Oh, these aren´t your children?" " What...yes, they are our children." "And we´ve got children this age too and we left them with their grandmother..." "Please change rooms with us..." " Please be a bit reasonable..." "Wait, wait, look here, there´s something wrong somewhere, madam - are you on a honeymoon or do you have children?" "Well, really..." " Come on, answer me." "Yes, no ... well, Bohousek and I don´t have any children yet." "Those are our children from earlier marriages..." "The little girl´s mine and the boy ..." " Wait, dear..." "They´re ours, both of them ..." " Oh I see, former children..." "And now we´re on our honeymoon, see..." "Good heavens, and you still find it fun going on a honeymoon?" "Look here, in that case ..." "do you know where l ´d go?" "I´d go south." " South." "And who were those people who shouted at you, Sir?" "Trashy sort - ugh!" "Well, friends, what sort of an agreement have you arrived at?" "We´re talking about the sea." " How can we come to an agreement." "I didn´t mean the sea, my man, I meant our lakes and ponds, it´s just plain beautiful down there." "The Pisek lake for example..." "I come from Pisek." "Have you ever been to Pisek?" "No, I haven´t." "Jesus, what a pity, you must be sorry, that´s a great pity, it´s so beautiful down there - when you go down ..." "Let´s keep to the problem at hand." " ... when you walk round that lake ... it´s just beautiful..." "Mum, please..." " ... in the early morning mists ... lt´s just so beautiful down there, you´ve missed quite an experience." "What are you on about, I wasn´t talking about the Pisek lake at all." "What were you talking about, then?" " l was talking about the Trebon ponds, that´s where it´s really fine." "Do you know the Trebon pond ... I don´t know that, we don´t go there..." " You´ve never seen anything in that case." "It´s so lovely down there ..." "Yeah - grandad´s right, take Bezdrev pond for example..." "Yeah, Bezdrev." "Look here, that´s a pond so enormous that you can actually see that the globe is round." "Come on, don´t get mad." " Have you ever seen such a ..." "Mind out!" "Mind out!" "Everybody thinks there´s only the sea - the sea, and they haven´t even seen this motherland of ours..." " What sea?" "Yeah, you´re ..." "I´m such a fool to..." "Just look." "Can we please keep to the subject." "But look here, this is my first time in the mountains too..." "This is a Cedok travel bureau lecture." "And you think, look here, you want to change rooms with us..." "Yes, none of you are on honeymoon." "Wait, wait, look here, when we should have gone on our honeymoon, we didn´t go at all." "In spite of the fact that my husband had worked overtime before, see." "And old man Boruvka did me out of three hours´overtime, anyway." "How´s that - four hours." " No, it was three." "But look here, Louie, I happen to remember it was four." "Now then, children, how many was it." " l write them down, after all." "But Mum, I know how many that was, I remember this sort of thing all right." "What does it matter, stop quarrelling." "But we´re not quarrelling, this is a matter of principle, I´m not quarrelling at all, why should I quarrel..." "You go and take your children with you on your honeymoon and you bother about three or four hours, excuse me..." "Four hours, I know it was four hours." "Will you please stop making my head go round... three hours, four hours..." "What is this you´re saying about us?" "Look here, do we want any favour from you?" "You want a favour from us..." "So you can be more polite." "Can you please tell me where you put me?" "What sort of a room is that supposed to be?" "I´m in with four young girls and they´re all singing and smoking away." "Why don´t you sing with them, ma´m, everybody feels like singing in this place." "I don´t, I certainly don´t." " You don´t - l can´t believe that." "Well you can believe me, believe me." "Good day to you." " Good day." " l´d like to speak to the manager." "That´s me." " Sorry, I was here before you." "Well, look here, I´ve been on fourteen holidays of this type in recreation chalets and I know how things are run, you can´t play any tricks on me." "I can´t let you have any other room, everything´s full." "Really." "We were trying to decide on this here and didn´t manage to decide either." "I haven´t got anywhere else to put you." "Lots of people have arrived, children - the winter holidays..." " So that you cannot do anything for me... I´d very much like to, very much - but I can´t, really I can´t..." "All right then, you´ll see what happens, that I´m not a person to play around with." "Christ." " What are you doing, I´ve got some valuable things in there." " Help me, please help me." "Help her." "Try stepping on it." "Jesus Christ, I really do have some valuable things in there." "Well, what do you say, dad?" "Let me tell you that such a pretty dressing gown, that isn´t bad at all." "That´s right." "Listen here, that´s not the way to go about it - hold tight - l´ll take you on my back, come along ..." " Do you think so?" "Come on, climb onto my back, there ..." "Great heavens, what are you doing?" "But that´s what you said I should do." "Yeah ... hop ..." "Just a moment, where do you live?" "Up there." " Gee..." "What number?" "A hundred and eighty-seven ... a hundred and eighty-eight ..." "Jesus Christ, I really don´t know." "Now then, isn´t that great, like a horror film." "Jesus ... sorry - so it is a hundred and eighty-seven, that´s my room." "That´s all right." " Sorry, I´m so sorry ... I really must have a rest." "But this isn´t my room - you see, I have four young girls in my room - sorry ..." "Excuse me, I´m sorry ..." "Do leave off, sill you." "Haven´t you seen my cigarette?" " l haven´t, I´ve got my own." "You haven´t seen it either?" "Girls, where did you put it?" " There´s one down there, it must be yours." "Cripes, Mrs. Bernacek, what happened to you?" "My name´s not Bernacek, it´s Dernacek." "For heaven´s sake get down, woman, or..." "What happened..." "I fell, girls, onto a suitcase." "Surely you won´t start gossiping up on my back!" "You can´t imagine what it was all about." " Where are you, where is your ..." "Over in that corner ..." "I slid down on my back - it was just ..." "Oh." " Jesus Christ." "Now then - please stand still - now the really, damn it, what´s this supposed to be - what´s this..." "What are you doing - l don´t like this at all, that I don´t." "I don´t like it either, I don´t like it a bit either..." "Your predecessor had such crew-cut, like this." "But he was a somebody, that he was." "This hedgehog he had." "This is just great..." "Horror of horrors." "Well, what am I to do, according to you?" "I´m telling you quite plainly what you´re to do, aren´t l?" "I can´t introduce you to our guests with curls like this." "Daddy, you´re to go into the kitchen, the chef wants to see you." "Yes." "Hanna, see to it that Mr. Bradacek is settled in his room in the meantime." "No, no, you can´t do that." " ls it worse?" "is this worse still?" "Where does it hurt most?" " lt hurts from the back here, right through." "Well then do you know what?" "I´ve got an idea." "Like this, yes, that´s the way." "Oh, it hurts - no, don´t do that either, Jesus. - ls it worse?" "Does it still hurt a lot?" " What if we put him down, ladies?" "Come and lie down!" "That´s a great idea." "Come and lie down!" "Why don´t you lie down?" "I´ll try." "Lie down, carefully now - and now some massage." "Does this hurt a lot?" "Further down - down - not up there!" " Wait - down here - he´s ticklish - down here." "Further down - further still - there, yes, there." "It´s better now." " ls it better now?" "It´ll be all right." "Good morning." " Good morning." "Granny, Granddad, Granny, Granddad." "Granddad.." "They must be cleaning the room or something." " That´s possible." "Well, girls, this is a bit of all right, I´ll be telling you " "now let´s give the old machine a test." "What sort of test?" " Don´t worry, kitten - hop " "let´s have a waltz." "Granny, Granddad!" "No boys, granny is getting things straight, but she´ll be seeing you anyway..." "Come on then, come on." "Let´s be off." "Not this way, we wouldn´t get out of it like this at all, it´s good job granny wasn´t looking, because ..." "When you bring some chit of a girl in you can take her away again too, see?" "Where are you - dad - dammit!" "Come on - what is it - come along!" " Jesus Christ..." "And you´ll kneel as punishment, I´ll show you!" "Are you mad, I don´t even know what ..." "There, and stay on your knees." " Mum, please, don´t be mad... I said kneel." " And I say don´t be crazy!" "Look here, we had decided that when one of us is horrid to the other, he or she´ll kneel in a corner." " But that was just a bit of fun!" "You were horrid to me, so you´ll go down on you knees!" "Good heavens, please be sensible!" "Kneel!" "Listen I was nice to you but if you like I won´t anymore  all right, I´ll go down on my knees... I´ll go on my knees, so what..." "Oh, good day - you haven´t taken your things off yet..." " No." "Well, now that I´m here - in the first place my name is Paula Chadimova, in the second place I´m the sports officer, and thirdly ..." "Christ, mind out!" "I´m ever so sorry ..." "I ... forgive me." "No, that´s quite all right." " Didn´t it break?" "Let´s hope not - no, it´s all right - it´s ok." "And what is it supposed to be, anyway?" " Oh, just." "A cage?" "And is it firm?" " Sort of ... lt should be ... right, well, I wonder about this one - all right." "I say, I like this, did you make it?" "Yeah." "I´ll go and see what the children´s room is like." "You must be doing this on purpose." " What am I doing on purpose?" "You know well enough, usually you´d be standing, don´t say you wouldn´t be." "But I´m not saying." "They must have really turned your head, those girls." "Mum, I think it´ll be your turn to go down on your knees..." "You were quite nasty to me that´s certainly bad enough to kneel for." "Ha, I´d first have to be carried about in some handsome chap´s arms." "Goodness me, here´s your handsome man, what..." "Come on." "Leave me alone, will you..." "Just ignore me, will you." "Come on, but, but ..." " You old fogey, what on earth´s got into you head now..." "You must have gone out of your mind!" " Come - if you want to be carried about..." "And what is this?" " What a mess, right?" "This is normal in this place, I don´t even take it in any more." "How´s that?" " You´ll get used to it too in a few days´time." "Think so?" " Yes, of course, it´s the change of environment." "People really relax here." " You don´t say." "Oh yeah, everybody´s changed once they get here." "You ain´t seen nothing yet, I´ll show you..." "Dad, don´t be a so-and-so fool." "Don´t worry, I´ve got my barber´s diploma." " Oh, that´s great." "You wait and see if it´s that great." " This´ll be some horror." "If you care about you curls, why don´t you take a firm stand with the manager?" "But it´s the principle that counts." "Exactly, if it´s the principle you´re worried about, I´d do something and not stand about sighing and moaning." "I´m not moaning." " But you´re willing to have a hair-cut." "I´ve got four crowns eighty in my pocket and debts in Prague." "Mind out!" "There are many artists in Prague." " Artists ... no, I don´t - how many?" "Three thousand." " Three thousand - is that possible?" "Yeah, it is." " l´d never have guessed that." "And two thousand of them are painters, do you know what that means?" "Painters galore, like rabbits." " A horror, that is." "Yes, it is, but cutting you hair..." "will you please hold your head down... there´ll be notches all over the place and then you´ll be complaining." "Never mind." "What can a few notches matter." "So I said to myself - chum, you´ll just have to find a job and earn a bit of money, get a few decent meals and are you going to do anything about the front?" "Of course I will, all this has to go, it would go falling into you soup otherwise." "What´s the food like in this place?" " Excellent." "That´s what everybody says." "Well, bon appetit my friends." "Well girls, did you enjoy your lunch?" "Yes, we did." " Thank you." "Bon appettit ..." "Well, my stalwart warrior, enjoying it?" "What about another helping?" "is your daddy satisfied and happy?" " What?" "Yeah, O.K." "Thank you - well, I hope you all enjoy your meal." "Bon appetit...bon appetit to all of you..." "Are you enjoying your dish, if I may ask?" " Well thanks, but I don´t particularly care for schnitzel." " We´ll do better next time, then." "Next time you´ll sure enjoy your lunch..." "Bon appetit." "Bon appetit." "Are you enjoying your lunch, friends?" "Thanks." "Thank you." "Not bad, but you´ll have to do something about changing our rooms, really you will." "Really I´d be most happy to oblige, but I really can´t." "It´s absolutely impossible as it is." " We´re absolutely squashed up in there." "I´ll try..." "Will you please not carry those skis upstairs, I´ve caught you again..." "Can you please tell me - when do I get my lunch?" "Yes, yes, right away - just a moment, you´ll be served immediately..." "Could I please..." " Yes." "We´ve come." "We were here first, weren´t we, the children are starving and we haven´t been served at all." " One day we start serving from the left-hand side, the next day from the right-hand side, you´ll be first to be served then, so you´ll be quite happy." "Girls, get a move on, our old pet...bow low!" "Oh, these girls - these are the girls I ... the girls I was with." " Which girls?" "That´s the girl I had in my arms, the one over there..." "Where?" " Over there." "Oh, you had her in you arms, did you?" " l had to kneel to make up for it." "Jesus, I say, I´d be willing to kneel too if I could hold her in my arms." "And would you know, it didn´t even hurt!" "I sure believe you." "I say, what a girl - and the other one..." "Beautiful - beautiful - a beauty." "Mervin dear." " We´ll have to go and see him about it again." "Let´s go again and tell him that." "Maybe they´ve changed their minds." "Just look at them, coming up with wagging tails." "Dammit, is it him or isn´t it him?" "Who?" " That hooligan." "Christ, just look at him, he´s had a hair-cut, what?" "Yeah, looks like a new-born babe." "What do you reckon?" " But it suits him." "Whose hair was cut?" " Look, over there." "The chap in the corner?" "Well, here I am." " Listen, where have you been?" "You leave me standing about like this." " Good heavens, surely you aren´t scared?" "What are all those people staring at?" " lt´s just normal." "Come on, let´s get away." " But we can´t - after all ..." "We have to wait for the manager." " He has to introduce us." "He has to introduce you and me and we have to welcome this new lot of holiday-makers." "We do?" " Well, you in particular - as the culture officer..." "That´s a cultural event, isn´t it?" " This is going to be some horror..." "Don´t be so scared all the time." " Fine - that´s what it wanted!" "Sure, this was really necessary - you must admit, Mr. Bradacek." "Now we won´t be worried about presenting you to our guests..." "Listen, Sir, really, it´s no good ..." "He´s got stage-fright, my dear colleague." " You´re sure helping me." "That´s just why one must jump straight into the cold water - of we go." "Dear friends..." "why isn´t this working again " "Who´s been playing about with it... I knew right away that he´s some scoundrel or something." "Damnation, who´s been playing about with it, this is terrible - hell´s bells " "who´s been messing about - l´m going mad " "this is impossible - dammit, I´d like to pull somebody apart - like a herring!" "I´m the only one in this place to keep an eye on things and when I´m not here..." "Listen, dad, we can´t sleep too long, it would be an awful waste." "Goodness me, what do you mean, a waste?" " Well, a waste." "We can sleep for free, here we must get out money´s worth, what?" "Listen, shouldn´t we send the boys outside?" "Yeah." "Boys, switch the radio on." " When are we going ski-ing?" "We´ll go ski-ing when we´ve hired some skis." "Switch it on." "But we have skis." " Didn´t you hear me?" "Switch the radio on!" "Boys, didn´t you hear - you´re to switch that radio on!" " When are we going ski-ing?" "Of course we´re going ski-ing, but right now ..." "When are we going ski-ing?" " Right now you two get out, go and see granny and granddad." " When are we going ski-ing?" "We´ll be going ski-ing a bit later on, we´ll go tomorrow." "Be good boys, now." "Louie, come and undo this zip for me." "... I don´t care, I got bored anyway." "Me too, but do you know what?" " What?" "That granddad´s got relatively clean feet." "Come in." "Good morning." " Hello." "Mr. Bradacek, I´m going to jump, come and join me." "Where?" " To the ski-jumps." "You do that?" " Yes." "How many metres?" " Twenty-seven and a half." "You´re kidding again, aren´t you." "I don´t believe you - you´d be flying like a bird, man." "Well, now, not quite like a bird, but I´m to try the fifty soon and there I think I could fly like a bird." "Well look here, birdie, I´ll finish these here cages I want to fix, and then I´ll come and watch you, satisfied?" "Come on, now." "Dad always says he´ll come and he never does." "But I really will come, honest!" "Joe - l´ll be there in an hour´s time." "I´ll come too, but when you start bringing home better report cards." "Otherwise I´m not interested in this here jumping, I don´t believe you can achieve in this either, those bad marks of yours will be reflected in everything you do." "I don´t think so, anyway - and anyway, what bad marks, only one I brought home." "When you bring your first A home, I´ll come and watch, not before." "Yeah, so you won´t be coming again." " Oh yes I will, I´ll come." "Either I´ll come or you´ll stop this ski-jumping business anyway." " No I won´t." "Wait, that supposed to be a bit of cheek, or a promise that you´ll do better?" "I want to fly like a bird." " And that´s why you want to keep your bird-sized brain too, I suppose." " l haven´t got a bird-sized brain." "Yes, you have, such a little bird-sized brain, that´s what you´ve got." "Damn it" " Joe... such a little bird-sized brain, that´s what you´ve got." "Boys..." " Hi." "... let´s try the thirty-metre jump." " You must be mad, no?" "We´ve got practically to the fifty, and you want us to go back to the thirty." "And we haven´t had a single jump yet." " Come on, boys." "Nothing we can do about it." " l´ll be here alone then..." "Train a bit harder, so you can try the fifty too, and you won´t have to stick to the thirty on your own." " Yeah." "I´ve been knocking on this wall for half an hour and you just haven´t noticed." "Such blows, who´s supposed to sleep in such a row?" "I don´t know." " l am, dammit, I am, but I can´t." "Why shout at me, then?" "Call that intelligent behaviour?" " My good chap, you´d start shouting too, if somebody were to bang you wall the way you did mine." "Don´t pretend you wouldn´t." " Just a moment, wait!" "And why would I shout at you?" " Damn it all, man, don´t pretend you don´t know what this is about." " And what is it about?" "Surely every civilized guy would knot that when he´s banging away and somebody comes to bang at his room he´s banging because he wants him to stop banging." "Yeah, but at night." "By day or by night, every normal person knows that when he hears such a banging on a wall that it means silence." "Surely any idiot would know what such a banging means, wouldn´t he?" "And so I´m telling you, as a special idiot, specially, see?" "And for the last time, understand?" " Count up to ten, will you?" "What do you want, dad?" "A cigarette." "I think it was a great idea to come here." "Marvellous." "Yes, I banged on the room, but not at you - at him." "That was before - but now you banged." "Great heavens, I did bang ... I did bang now, but at his room too." " And how am I to have known that?" "Because I´m telling you." "You´re telling me now but I couldn´t have known, considering I was next room, that you´re banging at his room and not mine." " Jesus Christ." "I´m full of such a calm feeling." "Mind, boys, it would need a couple of shovelfulls at that spot." "That´s O.K., I´ll make it further, look." "Well, that wasn´t all that much further, was it, chum." "Listen boys, honestly, take care, it would need a few shovelfull, honestly." "Sort of birdies." "Hm, we´ve got a canary at home, and what sort are these?" "I don´t know, they´re just birds - made up birds." "I see, and this one is sort of supposed to sing, what?" "Yeah." " l see." "You can see, can´t you, that there are music notes here..." "Wait - listen - what is it singing - what is it singing?" "I don´t know - l can´t read music." " All right." "Yeah, but you´re sure an expert in waking people up, Sir." "Don´t keep on, do you know what?" " No." "I´ll bring my son in, shall I?" " Why?" "He plays the violin and he can read music." " That´s great." "And I´ll bring the boys in too, they can recite a poem for you." "Thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety, a hundred - nobody´s to stand beyond this point or I refuse to play, I´m coming!" "Have you got a boy-friend?" " No." "Ten - twenty - thirty - you ..." "So what?" " l said, do you like it here?" "What?" "The mountains?" " Yes." "Look, there´s my sister with your brother." "Where?" " Over there!" "The two of them?" "Together?" " Yeah." "Ten - twenty - thirty ..." "Pete with a girl." "What´s your name?" "Peter, and yours?" " Magdalen." "Ten - twenty - thirty ..." "Pete with a girl." "Get out!" "You´re out!" "Come on, climb out - we know about you, anyway." "Children, what a noise - anyway, what are you up to in here?" "Where are your parents?" " They´re dancing." "I say, look, a horsie." " Fine." "You tell this gentleman that pretty poem." "Come on, Mathew, start reciting." "About that merry little coloured bird." "Come on, take a bow and begin." " Why?" "We haven´t been ski-ing yet." " You´ll be going all right." "Come on, do recite that poem, nicely, now." "Well, what is it?" "Look here, if you recite you pretty poem for him, maybe he´ll give you one of his merry little coloured birds here in the cage." "This isn´t for presents, madam - this is for sale." "For sale?" "This here?" " For sale?" "All these?" "All of them." " Jesus." "Well, can you please tell me what this would cost, this little cage?" "Oh, you mean this one, do you?" " This one - this - this little one." "About five hundred and fifty." " Dear God, is this possible?" "Five hundred and fifty for a cage this size?" " That´s art, ma´am." "Great Scott, if this is art, I´m Joan of Arc." "But then - on the other hand - it is pretty." "Good heavens, Hedda, this is a bit of rag from a night-shirt." "It´s the idea that costs the money." "But don´t you think it really is a bit expensive?" "... a little bit of wood ..." " Every picture is expensive." "How much does that one cost ..." "the one that´s got ... those two with the roses." " What do you think?" "Eight hundred and fifty." " Jesus Christ, dad, do you hear that?" "Surely this isn´t possible." "You must be mad!" "But look here, this must be looked at from a certain distance ... that´s a real pleasure for the person looking." "You don´t understand this sort of thing, I do, you see I know what I do and why I do it, don´t l." "Hang on, we understand it too, don´t we?" "Maybe you do understand such matters, but I understand them better - this sort of thing must be looked at from a certain distance." "As you like, I don´t mind stepping back." "... when one´s relaxed, sitting ..." "We´re not buying anything anyway." " l´m not trying to sell you any of this." "Come along." " Mummy, mummy, come and let´s ski." "I think that that artist is right." "From afar it looks quite different." "Look here, this one seems to me to be a bit damaged." "What, why should it be damaged, what are you babbling about..." "Don´t touch it, you´ll mess it up!" " Why would I mess it up - l´ve had a bath." "It´ll last for centuries, didn´t you see what went on in the suitcase." "Look here, what - how much would you want for such a damaged one?" "Come on out, Mummy - l´m getting fed up!" " l don´t know how much." "A hundred." " How much?" "A hundred." "A hundred?" "I´ll faint." "I say, what a piece!" " Oh, isn´t it beautiful!" "We should borrow it and set it at the Homolka lot, that would serve them right." "Hold on guys, let´s talk to him, ok?" "Why not?" "Look here, Barry, don´t you feel like having - the Homolka family - go and get them." "Up into the Clondyke - this is it." "Listen, do you know what I´m dying to see..." "These here panoramas, see, dad." "Just look at this." "That´s just it, that´s why I´m looking forward to getting further up still." "Well, what do you say now, dad?" " What?" "I said, what do you say to this here panorama." "This is sure a mouthful." "Wait till we get up at the top, what a scenery it´s gonna be then." "Bedrich, Bedrich... this is wrong," "you don´t belong here, my boy..." "This´ll be some horror, this´ll be a true mountain horror story." "By the mirror?" "O.K., isn´t it?" "I´ve brought you what you need for this job." " What?" "Table games and things." "And over-there-over-there the panoramas." "Oh come on now, Louie dear, I´m getting tired of this, I imagined it all different." " l like it." "Well, my girl, you´re in the mountains." "... and actually, when you realize that this isn´t any ordinary, stupid fog, that this is a cloud, then..." "Well, yes, there isn´t much of a view, is there, that´s for sure." "And in this here soup they could give us a free ride." "That´s right - and I´m bone frozen - boys, aren´t you frozen stiff?" "We are." " But then, we all are, chaps." "Aren´t we just." " Listen boys, swing your legs about so that you get your circulation up, but not like that, you´d fall." "Oh, we won´t fall off." "No, boys, don´t swing them about as much as that, or actually you´d better stop swinging them about at all - do you hear, boys!" "Oh we aren´t swinging them about." "No, don´t, we´ll just have to stick it somehow until we get down, boys." "Look here, at home we´ll get into our warm beds and we´ll be as happy as angels." "So that this is - this is the way have to - because I´d say that considering he´s the culture officer, he should also see to it that we live here in a cultural way." "That´s part of his job." "He must arrange it!" " We´ll tell him that out living quarters" " aren´t a bit... - ln good taste." " No taste at all in fact." "Sorry." " Asleep, isn´t he..." "Who?" "Damn it, this ... this is stupid." "What?" "It´s a shame that he´s asleep... - We´ll come some other time after all." "There isn´t that much of a hurry, is there?" "Let me have a look too." "That´s an old rule, he who jumps the fifty jump has first go." "I´m not saying not, but you needn´t bragg about that fifty of yours all the time." "Jump then, and shut up." "You shut up - here I go." "There - l´ve done." "Now it´s your turn." "Oh, that´s not true, Mrs. Novak, you´re making mountains out of molehills." "I opened the - but there wasn´t any - oh." "This is great, this is, fun and games, this is just great, you´ve managed to!" "Damnation, that guy must be having some wild party in there." "Go and tell him off, this is impossible, one comes home from an excursion and..." "This is O.K. it won´t burn again." "Excellent really - you´ve turned it upside down, look at the state it´s all in..." "What´s so terrible, man, you should be glad that..." "Can you image the mess there´d be if you used this..." "You just can´t imagine." "Hell!" "You´ll be sorry for this, you´ll be sorry you were ever born - you scoundrels!" "This is good, he´s doing it right, don´t push." "Get out of here with that." "I´ll show them." "I told you to get out!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Please, I have some terribly valuable things in there." "Jesus, you too, you too ..." "Look here, the main thing is ..." "You don´t open your eyes!" "It burns like the devil!" "The scoundrels!" "What are you doing?" "!" "Dammit, the scoundrels!" "This is going to cost you dear, you bastards!" "Jes ..." "Dear God..." "Jesus - this burns!" "My eyes!" "You keep calm, don´t shout at us, all this only happened because of you!" "It´s your job to see that people here live decently and culturally." "You live here like a Sheik and you give a damn about how we live here!" "Yeah, and if we hadn´t come in time, you´d have been burnt to a cinder, see..." "So this is actually all your fault." " We happened to notice that ..." "You´d do better to see to having our rooms changed." "Now then, this is what I like, yes indeed, this is great!" "Let´s go sir..." "Yeah, I´ll break my leg..." "and who´s then gonna look after you..." "No way, I´ve got to stay in shape..." "Yeah, we´re gonna enjoy ourselves tonight." "What a lot of happiness, what a joy to watch all this happiness..." "Come on dad, come over here." " Dad, don´t be foolish, you´re the only person with a bit of sense in this family, so you could at least once act accordingly." " Come on, man, you´re grown up... I´m telling you ..." " Calm down." "Look here, we promised to be nice to each other." "Go and stuff yourself, then." " Boys, come here, do you hear me, hop!" "Where´s that gang of yours?" " Who?" "All those bastards in here, chumsy." "Will you please not call me chumsy, I don´t like, honestly!" "Who´s calling you your name..." "But where´s that gang of yours then?" "Who?" " Come on, where are they?" "Don´t you keep apologizing, Mrs. Homolka, it´s quite natural to offer a bit of neighbourly help, isn´t it." " Of course." "I help you out today, tomorrow you help us out." "Of course, hardly worth mentioning." " Mr. Novak." "A friend in need is a friend indeed." "We have to help each other." " Mind you don´t get your feet wet..." "Ah, here´s just the person we want..." "Just look what you did - you..." "You forgot to turn it off!" " We did it have to be me?" "It´s a good job there are good people left in the world who are willing to help." "Oh, that´s all right, as we said, look here, today we help you and tomorrow you help us." "Flood." " So it´s a flood, so what." "Tonight." " ... don´t go and get your feet wet." "Tonight ... well, we´ve got our problems too." "Oh no, I understand what all this is about, we´re not changing rooms with you, we´ll rather mop up our floor ourselves in that case!" "Give me that floor-rag!" "Hang on, Jesus Christ." "Look here, madam, do listen, it wasn´t like this at all, it was like this, it was like this." "Out, out - right away!" "If you weren´t a woman I´d give you such a shaking your teeth would rattle." "Fine, great." "You needn´t laugh, you´d do better to tell me if you´re coming to the party!" "I really can´t, Paula." "Do you know that we have an academy painter at our place now?" "So what?" " Nothing." "Except that he´s after me like mad, and he wants to paint me." "Cripes - what a mess..." "You bounder - l keep waiting for you to come and ask me all about the job, I´d give you some advice -such a greenhorn- about what you´ll be going tonight." "It´s a party tonight, they all have to meet and make friends, and that´s your job." "I have been meeting people, actually." " l´m not interested in that." "I´m interested to know what you´ve arranged for tonight." "I´d like to know that too, Sir, because I´m beginning to think that my kingdom is not of this world at all." "What kingdom, oh my goodness, kingdom - l too wanted to be an actor at the National Theatre - and now ..." "I´m manager at a recreation chalet..." "Anyway, don´t you worry, you have to get things going tonight." "Cripes." "If you can´t manage, when things get too bad, I´ll help you out, I´ve got a bit of talent left in me yet." "Gosh, this´ll be some ..." "some horror, this." "This is good, isn´t it?" "Off we go ... hop ... oh, mind out!" "Well, this is what I call a sense of humour." "Eagle one speaking, eagle one speaking - l´m in my place - everything´s all right - all right - there, man " "I´m lifting my glass to the success of your party" " Cheers." "Where are you - look here - please - look here." "Well, shall I ... I don´t know if I should put my hair up - or shall I do this?" "Well, leave it as it is." "Come on, not that." "Will you please not look, I´m undressed - what do you think you´re doing..." "You know how many I´ve seen before..." "Hurry up, so that we´re not late." "Hurry up..." "Should I do my hair ..." "Oh, it´s nice as it is." " Mine´s nice - so´s yours." "This is really ..." " How can you say that this is nice, when ..." "Will you please get out, I´m quite naked!" "I´m getting just about sick of this - all this dressing up!" "Hush - please, the children are here!" "Just a golden fly ... and now we´ve arrived at the fruit market - lovely cherries - here I´ve got a nice cherry, the last one... but - l say - isn´t she shaking all over ..." "I´ve been to fourteen holidays of this sort, but ..." "And now that we seem to have had enough of these sweeties - permit me to invite you onto" "the dance floor." "We´ve got to change rooms with that stupid Homolka lot." "But one has to know how to set about it." "... and to treat them accordingly... rather than pouring out a bucket full of water all over their floor to get them mad." "Oh don´t keep on about it, will you." "So we did pour out a bucket full of water onto their floor, all right, so what." "We´ll have to come to an arrangement about what to do now, see?" "But you´re undressed, good heavens - will you please..." " She doesn´t care." "Look here, cover up!" " l am covered up." "What do you mean, come to arrangement, we´ll go down and our men will ask those women of theirs to dance and will make up to them a bit." "Me ... and make up to ..." "that old hag - you must be mad!" "Look here, Mr. Novak, you´re the right one to stick your nose in the air..." "You´re the last one to be choosy..." "You should have ..." "You should have thought of that when you poured out that bucket in their room..." "You go down yourself - you..." "and settle it with them in one way or another - you kno i know ..." "I know what..." " Wipe the floor." "Well, what do you reckon, a great party, right." "You were right, it needed a jester." "I should say!" "People want to be made to laugh." "They have enough worries at home, we have to offer them a real bit of entertainment, even though it may cost us our life´s blood, man." "Go and put that lath a bit lower, so we have some fun..." "Put it a bit lower - but only just a bit." "Mr. Bradacek." " Hello there." "Come and watch me tomorrow." " Watch you, where?" "Watch me jump." "I was expecting you." "I see." "Well, you know I couldn´t get away, I had a fire to quench in my room, mate." "I decided to try the fifty tomorrow, I want to start flying like a bird." "That´s great, I´ll come and watch." " Oh." "How´s that ..." " What´s wrong?" "It´s locked." " Haven´t you got the key?" "No, I haven´t." " This is great. I´ll throw you ... I´ll throw you down in my place." "Yes, but what would people be saying?" " Who cares, I can´t any more." "This is so embarrassing for me." "So embarrassing." " That´s all right." "You are so ... nice." "Mr. culture officer, you´re such a man of culture and taste, I´m sure you´d really understand me, you know..." "Every time I´ve been on I found a sympathetic ear." "Well, I do understand you, but I´ll have to be going now." "Music - let the band start playing!" "That´s great, great!" "You don´t have to." " l do have to." "Excellent, now then, gentlemen go and ask the ladies for a dance and the ladies ask the gentlemen to dance..." "... Please don´t forget this fact!" "Who hasn´t got a balloon yet..." "Who still hasn´t a balloon, please say so." "Come and join us, friends, this is a party for you all to get to know each other..." "Here´s a balloon - there now." "Who still hasn´t got a balloon..." "Listen ... shouldn´t we go and ask those Homolka men to dance?" "What?" " Well, I don´t know." "You don´t much feel like it, do you?" " And you do?" "Well, shall we go?" " Yes." "Come on then, let´s go." "Hold the string between foreheads and there´s no holding it any other way." "May I have the pleasure?" " May I have the pleasure?" "What about having a little dance." " May I have the pleasure?" "Considering you wives have our husbands, well ..." "The gentlemen ask ladies to dance, the ladies ask gentlemen." "Do you know what this reminds me of, the St. Matthew fair." "You´ve got a nice tie." "Who still hasn´t got a balloon?" "Don´t hold it with your hands, not with your hands!" "I say, isn´t that nice." "Who hasn´t got a balloon yet - out he goes." "This is nice, now, real nice." "Where have you been, man?" " Where did you take the woman" "All the way to heaven, Sir." "What a happy place this house is, so much joy - everybody´s happy..." "That´s as it should be, that´s really nice, and now then, let´s going, let´s really get going, let´s dance till our heads go round, and I want to see nothing but smiles!" " And now to the right." "... and merrily ..." "yours has flown away, yours has flown away, thank you..." "Oh, the balloon´s gone off - we´ll have to leave the dance floor, Mrs. Homolka." "Come on, let´s have another go." " l hope you aren´t cross with me?" "No." " On your honour?" "No, on my honour." "Now then, dear friends, let´s keep to the rules, the couples who have lost their balloon must leave the dance-floor." "I haven´t had such a good dance for ages." "I shall repeat, those couples who lose their balloon must leave the floor." "You´re dancing without a balloon, we must keep to the rules, please." "Come on man, come and try saying something." "No, that´s no good." "You can´t get the hang of things like that." "Don´t be afraid, we´ve got lots of other games in store." "He´s rather a rough, but otherwise I think he´s quite a decent chap." "Well, if you think so..." "You see, and it´s gone now." "You´re a marvellous dancer, Mr. Homolka." " l´m not, but you´re some dancer!" "All that was only a misunderstanding, wasn´t it?" "Of course, you know how it is, one does sometimes get mad, but one can´t be angry at you for long." "Thanks a lot - you know, I´m terribly glad that you ..." "Ouch!" "Let´s go on dancing, I only hope you don´t go and fly out of my arms - you´re as light as a feather." "Come and try saying something into the mike." " What?" "That they should leave the dance floor." "Would dancing couples who have lost their balloon kindly leave the dance-floor." "You mumble, you must talk distinctly..." "Would dancing couples who have lost their balloon kindly leave the dance-floor." "That´s the way, that´s it, man." "That´s the way I like it, that´s great." "That´s a great couple..." "Every game has its rules..." "Every game - thank you." "That´s right, that´s the way." "Come and try some more, you´re saying it quite well now." "Come along, come on, it´s quite nice the way you say it now, come on." "Good evening." " Well, what do you say?" "I´ve got the impression that the beginning is one hundred and ten percent success." "Watch out, you´re not there yet." "dear." "Don´t you worry." "Don´t you worry, if it goes as smoothly as this, we´ll be moving this very night." " We must, we must arrange it." "They ... the´re not that firm in their standpoint, I bet." "Mrs. Novak, Mrs. Novak, that old codger ..." "That old codger told me I´m like a feather." "Look here, listen to me - l think ..." "I think   well, that the old crone´s a cracked nut, too." "Listen, that´s quite a toff, that man ..." "Novak." "She´s quite a woman, too." "You can´t imagine how he started apologizing." "He´d be that polite." "Who?" " Mrs. Novak." "In my opinion Mr. Burda is the most decent of that lot." "He´s such a tall chap, but really charming." "I´ll have another beer to drink that down..." "Miss, come over here... come on..." " One beer." "Will you come and look after us, young lady, we have ..." " There you go." "You´re a beer-drinker?" "Of course, when I don´t get my beer, I´m a very cross man." "Really, dear." " You don´t know what I´m like when I can´t have my beer." "Just see, what a lovely room we have, anyway, it´s jut great here, isn´t it..." "That´s why, because we have such a rooms, and because we´ve never really had  such a great time before as here, they could persuade us to change those rooms." "Good heavens, what are you saying - over my dead body." "Yes, that´s right, Hugo dear." " Red, right?" "To help us along, see." " Miss ..." "And give me a puff." " Miss, Miss, a bottle of red wine." "We´ll be needing more, I´m thinking they won´t be falling into our trap that easy." "Louie here - but then dad, when I saw you dance that woman around, you didn´t remind me of dead body at all, you seemed to be all over her, if you ask me." "I ..." "I wasn´t all over her at all." " l was watching you." "I didn´t say that!" "I remember what I said and what I didn´t!" "I´ll tell you something, we´re having such a fine time here, and I don´t remember anything having ever worked out so well for us before." "Yes, that´s a fact." "We´ve never had such a good time before." "Wonderful, isn´t it?" "That´s true." "I think it´s going to be worth it, for the money we paid - what?" "That´s certain." "Of course." "And stop waving that bottle about, you´ll spill it." "I´m not waving this bottle about at all, I´m saying that I never said such a thing." "I don´t know, but I feel like a cheat rather than a culture officer." "How´s that, why?" "Because I´m quite a different person to what I´m pretending to be here." "Well really, in that case I must tell you the wisest thing I´ve ever heard:" "Everything is different." "I just don´t happen to be the right man in the right place." "Just you wait, in a few days´time." "I´m afraid it´ll be no different in a few days´time." "Damn it man, didn´t you know yourself earlier?" "You answered my advertisement, and now what?" "Huh?" "Well, I did know myself, but I needed a bit of dough, and then I thought there can´t be much to playing culture officer." "Well my man, looking after people´s no joke, nowadays it´s quite ..." "Well, it´s damn well no joke." "Yes, do sit down at our table, thank you." "Now it´s right." "Dear friends, to the winning couple for their excellent performance, let´s give them some spontaneous applause please." "That´s it, that´s just the thing, that´s excellent." "And now, because you all danced so well, would you please fill our dance floor to the last inch, I want to see nobody sitting out." "A ladies and gentlemen´s choice, right ..." "Thank you - ladies and gentlemen make you choice, take your partners." "That´s nice ..." "That´s how I like it." "There now, we´ve done with the theory, and I showed you in practise." "Now it´s your turn to take over." "I must point out once again, that your knees must be bent, toes together, heels apart   a relaxed position, then we take off ..." "Dear friends, I´ll repeat once again." "Try to   stand on those skis absolutely relaxed, toes together, knees relaxed, heels apart, and off we go." "The first to try, please." " Oh deary me, no, I can´t do that." "That´s nothing." " Excellent!" "This comrade will go first." "No, this is the right mood, I know this feeling from our basketball matches, people really make friends fast this way, see?" " Really." "Look here, mum, it´s not hard, just look at me." "Mind out." "We haven´t managed to bring them round in 24 hours." "It isn´t twenty-four hours yet," "Ten then, but even if it were a hundred we wouldn´t bring them round." "You know what would do it, some money would do it." " Jesus ..." "Mrs. Novak, you must be mad, expecting us to go and stuff money into those..." "But ... no, darling." " Wait, wait, that´s not ..." "For a bit of money people are willing to..." " That´s not such a bad idea, look here, ..." "There, bend your knees, excellent, next ... I´ll try and offer them a hundred crowns." "A hundred - yeah, let´s scare the shit out of them a hundred, let´s go, come on." "Come on, come on, don´t keep us." " Have you robbed a bank or what..." "Wait, dear." "It´s me, you haven´t forgotten about our excursion, have you?" "I´ve had ten thousand boils..." " Boils, boils..." "You could end up much worse in this fog, my boy, you can´t see the tip of you nose, how can you think of jumping?" " The fog´ll clear." "No jumping." " l say, do you know that   the culture officer lied to me..." "He should be ashamed of himself, he can tell such tales to young girls but no to a lady..." "But surely that´s impossible, comrade." "Why be so very strict without even?" "Actually, what happened?" "What happened?" "He slipped away on that excursion and left me sitting here." "Jesus ..." "Joe ... there now, and the boy slipped away too." "All right then, three, and if you say no, then I really don´t know." "Dad, what do you say, dad." "Exactly, we really wouldn´t know in that case, none of us, that´s a lot of money..." "Don´t be afraid of these skis - come and join us." " We´ll be along." "Leave us in peace, with these skis, heavens!" " Leave us alone, now you." "We´ll be right there!" "We just ..." "She won´t leave us alone, the silly goose. - l´m going to fetch them." "Hand it over." " That´s right, hand it over." "Put it away carefully, dad." " Three hundred." "Damn it, what´s this ..." "Toes together, heels apart." "Hell ... toes together dad, heels apart!" "Slow down, dad!" "Co ... co ... comrade  stop me!" "Mind, boss, mind out, there´s a forest down there." "Help, mum ..." "Damn it, silly me" "why did I get onto this thing, such a piece of crap I´ll never put the things on again - bullshit." "Where are you, boss?" " Mr. Homolka ..." "Joe ..." " All right, I´m coming." "Our manager´s boy was to have jumped off this bridge and so I brought you here because I thought it might be interesting for you to see how such a little boy ski-jumps from such a height." "Good heavens, such a little boy, that´s impossible, such a titchie boy." "He said that his daddy didn´t believe in him and so I thought it would be good for him if he saw that somebody does believe in him, because I know what that´s like, when people don´t believe in you..." " And you believed such a silly thing..." "Only men jump off this bridge." " Don´t be silly." "Such a little kid could kill himself, on this." "After all, you´re the culture officer, aren´t you?" "Oh no I´m not." "Why do you keep on?" "I´m really not!" "How´s that, you aren´t?" "How´s that?" " l can throw it all overboard without having to talk about the whys and wherefores, see!" "Go and stuff yourself." "Mr. Bradacek!" "Come down at once!" " Right." "Down." " l´m coming." "Jesus Christ." "Hooray!" "I really think you´re exaggerating a bit, seriously." "I don´t see why I should be exaggerating." " Well, I´m sorry for having to say so, but I really don´t see what you have to rush off for in such a hurry." "I´m fleeing..." "I´m just walking away, I´m leaving, see, and I´m leaving because I´m absolutely the wrong chap for this sort of work." "Good heavens, aren´t you even wrapping them up in paper?" "... they´ll break, for use." " l´m not going to support losers." "What´s worst about it is that I even ..." "I haven´t even got the bus fare." "See, this is your fault." " Water, water, water." "All right, I´ll go and get some." " Please calm down, nothing´s happened." "It´ll be all right." "Here´s the water." " You gave me a fright." "It´ll be all right." " You gave me a fright, you brat." "Well - so what..." " And he´s laughing, the kid... I´m not laughing. - l´ll show you, - you are laughing at us!" "Well, daddy, sorry, but you never believed that there is something I can do." "And that´s a fat lot you did." "Well, I managed - to jump the fifty ..." "No - here." "Theatre!" "Look boys, back off, or you´ll bring this place to a shambles..." "You women, get a move on, we´ve got to go and have lunch, calm down, go and sit down." "Won´t be a minute, but actually this drapery will come in quite handy, we´ll be sort of alone again here." " Separated, hm, I wouldn´t call it that, it´ll never be as good as it was." " Think not?" "No, surely, that´s clear that it won´t be the same, but nobody´ll give you three hundred for nothing, will they?" "´Course not." "You take it, surely you don´t mean to let three hundred slip through our fingers." " Well, I know, but the question is, if we´d waited till evening we could have got much more out of them." "Oh no, Hedda, don´t you believe that, no." " Yeah, my clever boy." "This is a great bit of business, see?" " For the three hundred you can have a bottle of Gamza lunch-time and again in the evening and all week long." "Jesus Christ, old man." " And there´ll be some left over." "Surely you don´t want to drink up three hundred´s worth?" "Damn it all, I´m on a holiday, aren´t l, so why can´t l enjoy myself?" "Yes, of course, why shouldn´t he enjoy himself, aren´t l right, boys?" "You´d better hand over that three hundred." " Just a minute, what three hundred, surely half of it is ours, isn´t it..." "Well, Louie, say so." "Hand over the three hundred!" " What´s wrong with you, gran?" "Mind you don´t have to kneel." "Mind you don´t both of you have to kneel." "Three hundred." " And why should we have to go down on our knees?" "Excuse me for disturbing you, you see ... I want to go away and I haven´t got enough money for the bus fare," "and you asked me yesterday whether I´d let you have a damaged one for a hundred crowns, and I´ll let you have this one for a hundred crowns, what do you say?" " Go and jump in the river with that thing." "I should say." "Darling." " What is it?" "We´re alone." "There´s a telegram for you." "What is it, what is it ..." "well, what is it?" "Johnny swallowed a spool..." "Come home!" "Granny." "Another beer, please, Miss." "No, no more." " Yes, I want another one." "No more then?" " Why not?" "No, no more." "And why not?" " We must economize, darling." "Economize - on our honeymoon?" "We must save - we overpaid them." "Quiet!" "I´ll tell you how we´ll do it - we each get seventy-five crowns, and we do what we like with it." "That´s a sensible idea." " Yes, but hand it over immediately." "Don´t you dare, dad, don´t you dare!" "Jesus Christ." " What is it ... well?" "I´ve lost my pocket-book." " Jesus Christ." "I´m sorry to intrude, excuse me, but I know that the other one was bad, bud this one is absolutely perfect - and I´ll let" "you have it for a hundred too..." "This one is perfect, this one is." "Great heavens, this´ll be great, you´ll be getting it practically for free." "Well, it´s gone." " Are you crazy?" "What did you do?" "It´s gone, that´s it." "You really aren´t worth a damn any more, you old..." "Damn and blast it!" "You always spoil fun for me." "And you think it´s only you who feels it´s a spoilt holiday?" "We all have a spoilt holiday." "Well, that´s great." "Now we can go off." " All right then, yes." "Come on!" "Look!" "Can´t you leave those cigarettes alone?" "Hello there." "Jesus Christ, are you sure you lost it here?" "That´s clear that it must have been here, had it been over there someone would have swiped it at once." "That´s just it, it may have been swiped ages ago." "Yes, but granddad says this is where he flapped about the most, so it should be here somewhere, right?" " But where?" "Granny, when are we going to go and see those panoramas?" "Panoramas indeed, leave me alone!" " Don´t stare and start digging!"
