"Please come in." "Which line do you fly, Mr. Bures?" " The Secondary Era." "In the folders we call it a visit with the dinosaurs." " Are you married?" " No, I live with my brother." "We're twins."

"Listen, is it really possible to land in a certain year, on a certain day, with that rocket?" " And at a certain spot?" " We've calculated it all." "Here, with the engineer." "After all, this gentleman is a rocket pilot too." "We shall land in the near vicinity of the Fuehrer's Headquarters on December 8th, 1944." "I know the place, I was in command of an execution unit at the time." " Heavens, how old were you at the time?" " Just a moment..." "Today I'm eighty-six, that means that at the time" "I was... thirty-four, gentlemen." " So you're going on for ninety too, Klaus?" "!" " Gentlemen, it's really lucky we have this."

"Look..." " Old clumsy..." "Couldn't happen to me." " I've never seen you cook breakfast, old boy, either!" "What's the matter with you?" "Got out of bed with your left foot?"

"Her and that family of comedians of hers!" "It is June the first, 7 hours" "Have you finished, Charles?" "Charles?" "Charles, what's the matter?" "What's the matter with you, for God's sake?" " Sorry!" " That's all right." "Oh no, Donald, calm down!" "Calm down!" "Good doggie, come along." "Doctor, please, quickly!" " Right." " I couldn't get through to you, your line was busy." "Please, hurry, it's a matter of seconds." "Suffocation." "Your brother is dead, Mr. Bures." "I'd try some resuscitation, but it's too late for that." "He suffocated." "Choked on a roll."

"The date of birth is missing, isn't it..." "When were you born?" " I?" " I mean, when was your brother born?" "But as twins you have the same date of birth." "Ah." "There." "So now everything is done." "Goodbye." "It's just that it's such an odd feeling to see it black on white..." " I know." "...that I'm dead." "I don't like you look of Bures!" "He doesn't care at all about our movement." " You'd better check on him." "There's plenty of time." "This is Abard." "Is that Charles Bures?" " This is..." "Yes." "This is Charles Bures." "We're in Prague." "Are the suits in the closet?" "Of course!" "The suits are in the closet." "And what about the armchairs?" "All right?" " Absolutely." "So that everything's O.K. Thanks." "That's all right." "You see, it's all working beautifully." " He only does it for the money." " Exactly." "I know this is a great loss for the Research Institute for Rocket Motors." "You see, I happen to know how much John loved his work." "Even though he did miss flying at times." "Thank you." "Hello, Charles!" "Charlie, are you coming in for a poker game on Wednesday?" " A poker game?" " Hm." " Oh, a poker game." "Yes, I'll be there." " But you could let me have the hundred you lost last time, and I mean now." " A hundred?" " Yes." " Yeah?" " The landing of the expedition to the Battle of Waterloo." "Arrivals hall number eight." " Can you please tell me where I can lodge a complaint?" " Complaint." "Complaint... there." " Yes." "Thank you." " What's it about, Charles?" " I'm looking for where I can lodge a complaint." " Oh, not to the right, please." "To the left, the second door." "This gentleman will have his little joke." "Shame on you, making fun of an old lady!" " No, I..." " Come with me!" "I have to tell you something." "Give me a cigarette!" " I don't smoke." " You don't say, since when?" "Yesterday you were still a chain-smoker." "And how have you done your hair today?" "Charles, listen, Robert knows we were together last night." "See!" "Robert said this time he'd beat you up for sure." "And do you know how he said it?" "That he'd leave a hole in your mug just right for a thermometer." "That's what he said." "I think it would be best if we stopped meeting." " Charles!" "You don't mean that seriously?" "I want a divorce from Robert!" "You know what we'd arranged...!" "Give your darling Margaret a kiss!" "Give your darling Margaret a kiss!" "Come on, Charlie..." "How dare you?" "Mrs. Nolova, please come to my room again with those flies, we have a mistake there somewhere." " Yes, Mr. Rousek." "I've told you at least a hundred times to stop these doings of yours!" "You needn't be surprised if I decide to draw consequences." "I spoke to your brother yesterday." "Yes, we talked about it." "I mean... my brother!" "My brother died this morning." " Good grief, what happened to him?" "He choked on a roll." " I see." "I'm very sorry indeed." "Now my boy you no longer have anybody to pull you out of the soup, to get you out of trouble every time..." " Don't you worry, I'm going to change." "I'm going to be really different from now on." "I promise." " I know." "You'll behave as you should for half an hour and then you'll be in asking for a day off." " No!" "Well... actually..." "I would need a day off." "I have to talk to my brother's fiancee..." "I mean to my fiancee." " I see." " Thank you." "At what time do I start, anyway?" "I've clean forgotten..." "At fourteen ten." "Buy some roses, Mister!" "Roses!" "Seven." "Seven, for luck." " Not only for you, for me too." "Mr. Bures..." "Excuse me." "Eva!" " Charles!" "Charles!" "I'm so sorry about your loss." "Er... what are you doing?" "We have a premiere in a week's time...!" "But can't you see, Mr. Bures is here." "I see..." "I'm so sorry..." " I hear he was such a good boy." " Poor John!" " She's been crying like this since this morning." "She's much too sensitive." "I don't know what she'd do, were anything to happen to you!" " Hm, hm." "D'you know what?" "Come and have a drink, an aperitif." "In honour of your brother, right?" "Lunch will be ready soon anyway." "Hey there, call a break!" "Hop!" " Just a moment, Sir!" "I'd just like to settle one small thing." " Yes." "Thank you." " How much do I owe you?" " All of fifty thousand." " I see." " But just a moment, sorry." "But if I understand right..." " Understand what?" " Eva will be so happy!" "You see, you told me you'd give me back my money one week before the wedding." "Eva!" "Eva!" "Come here!" "Eva!" "Eva... it looks like you're getting married in a week's time!" " Charles!" "Darling!" "I'm so happy." "We'll begin a new life." "It's certainly begun for me!" "1st JUNE" "We apologize to our passengers." "The flight to Alexander the Great is three seconds late." "Well and?" "I've paid for a sight-seeing tour, so I have the right to see something, don't I?" "There." "And where's that guy?" " He's over there." "Excursion number fourteen - in the footsteps of Julius Caesar." "Regular departure Wednesdays at 9 a.m." "Please." " Your gallant little ways are not a thing I care for, Mr. Bures." "Anyway, after what you were impertinent enough to do to me during the Ruin of Pompey trip, this is my last flight with you, Sir." "Captain!" "There's somebody waiting for you at bar number 1." "CREWS" "Did you call me?" " You've guessed right, my boy...!" "Is he blind, or what?" "What'll you have, Charlie-boy?" "He's nuts, if you ask me." " On the contrary, he's playing it up beautifully!" " Mr. Bures!" "This is your suitcase, unless I am much mistaken." " Yes!" "Yes, this belongs to my..." "I mean to me." "Thank you." "Gentlemen, that man is great!" "I think we are in good hands." "Give my love to the dinosaurs!" "And what about this?" " Ah!" " Hi, Charlie-boy!" "Permit me to flap a flapper at you." " Ouch." " What a pity you are just starting." "I would like to talk to you." "About Marketa..." " But... your wife and I..." "That's all over." "I swear!" "It's over!" " Charlie, I happen to know you..." "Tomorrow, then." "Get a set of false teeth ready!" "Pardon?" "Teeth!" "A set of false teeth!" "CHECK CHANGING ROOMS" "Line twenty-seven - antiquity - the secondary era!" "To the cloakrooms, please." "Bag-check here, please." "That's all right, Captain, run along." "Shirley, where have you been?" " Patrick, don't make me nervous, will you?" " I don't think that can be done, Shirley." " May I?" " Thank you." "Captain!" "The starter!" " Ah, yes!" "Hello, Charles." " Hello." " No problems." "Want to link up the starter?" " Ehm." " Well, give it to me then, man!" " Ah!" " What about this suitcase?" " I don't know." "The old sot!" "Here, Helena." " Thanks." "And now the Whites!" " There are only three of us, we've booked the whole rocket!" " You're wrong!" "You only booked eight seats." "Two have been taken by these passengers." " Excuse me." " That is OK." " Thank you." " But you'll have plenty of room, anyway." "Our rockets are extremely comfortable, not like the old types." "I'll kill that guy Bures!" "You'll find your bags by your seats." "Do you need this case?" " No thanks." "Not now." " Take it away please, will you?" "I'm going to complain!" " I'm sorry, it must have been some error in the booking." "What can I get you?" " Nothing, no thanks." " We have our tickets, we're going to fly." "Do you mean to make me angry, by any chance, Sir?" "A computer error." "These Americans have valid tickets and yet this gentleman maintains that..." "You've messed it up!" "Me?" " The Captain has nothing to do with this." "Kindly get ready for the start!" " I don't know how to apologize for that Pompey affair, Helena Machova, but I really am very sorry." " Surely you don't want to convince me you've turned into a gentleman overnight?" "This is exactly how I always imagined a real pilot would look." "Line twenty-seven" " R-K-M boarding finished." "Controls all working." "Entrance blocked." "I request permission to start." "R-K-M - start!" "Bon voyage, Charles!" "Our love to the dinosaurs!" "End of over-pressure." "Patrick, how is it done that we go back into the past?" " To tell you the truth, I haven't the faintest, Shirley." "I should say leave it to this company who arranges the sprees." "Firstly he made a mush of booking the tickets." "Secondly - he was to have invited us into the cabin right after the start wasn't he?" "We must act!" "We have a few minutes left!" " Miss!" "Excuse me." "Yes?" " Kindly tell the Captain that I'd like to visit him in his cabin." " You are Mr. Abard, are you not?" " Yes, Abard." "Captain!" "One of the passengers would like to see you, Mr. Abard." "Please explain that passengers are not admitted to the control cabin during the flight." "Helena, could you please get me a cup of coffee?" "Of course." "Excuse me." "Well gentlemen, we can pack up." "Don't be crazy!" "And get ready!" "Here's your coffee, Captain." " Coffee?" "Coffee can wait." "Stay as you are, Bures!" " What is this supposed to mean, Bures?" "We'd arranged that you would invite us into the control cabin!" " What?" "When was that arranged?" " Stop trying to be funny, damn you!" " Just a moment, Kraus." "Don't you think he's behaving rather oddly?" "A real hold-up, Patrick." "Isn't it fantastic?" "If you think so, Shirley." "How about explaining what all this is about, gentlemen?" " Can you understand it?" " Perfectly." "You want to ruin our plan!" " But we happen to need you!" "Kraus!" " Yes." "Thank you." " Don't waste that!" "For God's sake, do something!" "Can you manage?" "I hope so..." " And now the uniforms." "They're supposed to be hidden in the luggage section." "If that guy didn't put them in..." "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, but we have to change the program of our excursion trip." " What is that supposed to mean, Sir?" " For the time being only that we are landing, now." " Fasten your seat belts and stop smoking!" "You've certainly managed the uniforms perfectly." "How come you stopped co-operating afterwards?" "And now the negative." "Come on." "If you haven't got it, start writing your last will and testament." " But..." "I think I do have some..." " We have the code." "You can open the rocket." "Gentlemen!" "We can now step into the past." "I'm sure looking forward to seeing von Braun again." "He wouldn't have dreamt of this." " You'd better get dressed first, or you'll freeze!" " And there's no hurry, gentlemen." "I have the anti-aging pills with me." "I took a big supply." "What are you doing?" " Without the starter not even the Lord himself can manage to get this thing away..." "Dear friends, we are now in the year 1944." "When you step out, it will be into the furious theatre of war." "Take care of yourselves!" "Armies are not usually gallant." " Particularly when they see a figure such as this!" " How dare you?" "!" "An odd man, this Bures." "That's all right!" "This way!" "He behaved marvellously!" "Would you be capable of just that, Patrick?" " I'm not so sure, Shirley." "Well, Captain?" "Hm." "The starter's gone." "There's nothing I can do." "We were supposed to have gone to see the dinosaurs." " When I tell my friends in Chicago..." " If we do ever get back to Chicago..." "How come they behaved as if you were their accomplice?" " That's... that's as much a mystery to me as it is to you." " Do you know, Captain, that you seem a different man today." "You remind me of your brother." "He was on the commission of the flight tests." "I did like him." "Suddenly you seem like... to be like him..." "You're just imagining." "Actually, my brother died this morning." "He choked on a roll." "Is there anything I can do for you, Sturmbannfuehrer?" "What day is it today, Admiral?" " December 8th." "So it worked!" "Kindly get out." "The driver too." " I beg your pardon?" " Quickly!" " I'm on my way to the Fuehrer with an important mission and you don't have the slightest right to act this way..." "Oh, come on now...!" "You should get a new photograph for your pass, Sturmbannfuehrer." "You look like a little boy on it." " Don't you think you're being rather impertinent, Untersturmfuehrer?" " I apologize!" "The Japanese attacked" "Hawaii yesterday." " The base is called P Pearl Harbour." "American navy losses are unimaginable." " Meine Herren, that's colossal." "Our allies have proclaimed war on the United States with a fantastic action." "That's simply colossal!" "Steinberger!" "Get me Mussolini!" "I want to share my joy with him." " Yes, mein Fuehrer!" " Victory is now at hand, gentlemen." "We have destroyed Poland, defeated Norway, Denmark, conquered Belgium," "Holland, France." "We have knocked the whole of the Balkans to their knees!" "We are the masters of Europe and are now standing before the gates of Moscow!" "Tomorrow we shall proclaim war on America and together with Japan we shall defeat the USA." "In a few days Providence will have made me the ruler of the whole world!" "Today is my happy day, gentlemen!" "Gentlemen, the Fuehrer will receive you." " Yes?" " But you must wait a little." "I'm afraid my trick isn't going to work, gentlemen." "I have only fifteen minutes left." "This is me!" "Look at me, this is me!" "My ladies..." " At the time I was fulfilling important duties in the interests of the Reich." "There were many of these duties!" "Sometimes I really didn't know where to start..." "Excuse me, Miss, but you don't keep the place very warm, do you..." " I'm afraid we cannot shut the main entrance." "We must save energy because we don't know what's in store for us here." " Considering we paid such a lot of money, surely we could see something of that war, couldn't we?" "It would be exciting, wouldn't it, Patrick?" "In its way, yes, certainly, Shirley." "Walkyrie twenty-eight..." " German command calling." "At ten zero five Admiral Wolf drove through the check-point." " They must have a date here with Abard." "...for the Great German Reich to achieve total victory on all fronts within the next few weeks!" "What are we going to do?" "Wait." " Aren't you hungry?" " No." "You don't want any anti-aging pills, either?" "Not yet." "Why is your hand bandaged?" "I scalded myself with tea this morning." " Don't worry!" "It'll be all right, Helena." "Gentlemen, the Fuehrer is expecting you!" " At last!" "I can just about make it!" "Sturmbannfuehrer Klaus Abard with aide." "The gentlemen have a pressing report to make." "Heil Hitler!" "Steinberger, get me Admiral Wolf!" "The U-boats are waiting, he should have been here by now." " Yes, mein Fuehrer!" "Well, what is it?" "Mein Fuehrer!" "We have come to save the Great German Reich at the last minute!" "From what?" "From unconditional surrender which now threatens Germany." "Steinberger!" "Throw him out, degrade him, arrest him and so on!" "You're lucky I'm in a good mood today." "Otherwise you'd be going straight to the firing-wall!" " Just a moment, Mein Fuehrer." "Just a moment, please!" "I would like to demonstrate something, mein Fuehrer." "It is December 8th today, is it not?" "Eleven hours twenty-seven." "In exactly three minutes you will receive a call from General Henkel from the eastern front, and he will report that the Soviet Army has captured the Polish city of Rzepin, less than a hundred kilometres from Berlin." "Then you will understand that I do not guess at the future, that I know it." "In less than three minutes!" "We can all start counting." "Steinberger!" "Damn you to hell, can't you see this man is crazy?" "!" "Sturmbannfuehrer!" " Just a moment!" "Two more minutes and five seconds." " Why don't you read the newspapers now and then, Sturmbannfuehere?" "Why should we retreat to Berlin, when we stand before Moscow?" "!" " Pardon?" " I mismanaged the landing." "We've arrived three years earlier." " Please - this is not,44"?" " No." " Christ!" "Mein Fuehrer!" "They've brought in Admiral Wolf." "What do you mean -, brought in"?" "Wow...!" "What happened, doctor?" "They found him in the forest." "The driver, too." "His pulse is normal." "I wanted to straighten his legs..." "...but one of the broke off." "He is moving his lips a little, but it's difficult to understand him." " These... three..." "Attacked... me..." " These three?" " Yes..." " Carry him out!" "What have you done to him?" "!" " What a fuss..." "It'll pass soon..." "If that idiot hadn't broken off his leg, he'd have been all right by now." " Take them away!" " No!" "First find out who they are and how they got here!" " A rocket has landed!" "Americans!" " A rocket?" "Americans?" "Bring them in!" "This is crazy!" "The U-boats are waiting for my orders!" "Oh look, Patrick, that's Hitler!" "It's Hitler!" "You wait when I tell them all this in Chicago..." "Pat dear, you must take my picture with him!" "Put your arms round me like this, will you?" "Oh, you're here too, are you?" "Look here, lady, kindly ignore us, will you." "What?" "You know them?" "It could be put that way." " It's a gang of spies!" " Himmler!" "This is the limit!" "Arrest them!" "Take them away." "Shoot them!" " How dare you?" " It seems to me you're exaggerating things, Mr. Hitler!" "We are American citizens." " Mein Fuehrer, there'll be unpleasant results to such an incident." "We still have diplomatic contacts with them." " You settle the matter, then." "Himmelhergot!" "This isn't the way to conduct a world war!" "There..." "Arrest these Americans!" " I'm a German!" " All the worse for you!" "Shoot them!" "And how about this young lady?" " Arrest her." "Yes, Sir." "Yes, Marshal." "Mein Fuehrer." "I'd like to explain." "This young man - is me!" "I see." "I left the biggest surprise till the end." "Here is a weapon which will allow you to achieve your victory in a single day." "You'll win the Second World War in a single second!" "This is the hydrogen bomb, latest type, the size of a hand grenade, with documentation complete." "Look!" "I'm going to kill that Bures guy!" "Me?" "This is my suitcase!" "How dare you?" " Shirley!" " Patty!" "Himmler!" "Before the execution..." "torture them torture them torture them!" " Take them away." " Torture them!" " Forward!" "Get you gone!" "Clear off!" " Torture them!" " Patrick!" "Leave me alone!" "Leave me alone!" "Patrick!" "Now watch out!" " He's got a bomb, mein Fuehrer!" "Down!" "Take cover!" " Not a bomb, it's my last surprise." "Sound the alarm!" " Silence!" "Without us - you'll come to this sticky end!" "Well?" "!" "No!" "No!" "It's not true!" "Never!" "Never!" "Never!" "What are you doing?" "Let me go!" "I have a mission to fulfil!" " Out!" " Mein Fuehrer!" "That was proof!" " Out!" "Out!" "Out... you too, Himmler!" "Everybody out!" "I don't want to see anybody!" "Get out of here, Bormann!" "Everybody out!" "Well, you certainly weren't strong on manners." "History was right in that!" " We shall complain!" "We wanted to see the dinosaurs!" "Helena!" "Helena!" "In with you!" "Stop!" "Helena!" " Stop!" " Where are you taking her?" " Captain!" "No!" "No!" "Never!" "Providence would never permit that!" "No!" "No!" "We shall win!" "We will win!" "We will win!" "I beg to report that I found this in the cabin of that er... aeroplane." " Orders were not to touch anything before the special unit arrives." "You idiot." "This a devil's machine!" "Take cover!" "His documents!" "Klaus Abard." "That's a joke..." "Except that it's true." "You're having yourself executed, you idiot!" "Don't you understand?" " Well, that's enough." "Do you have a last wish?" " Yes." "Promise me that one year after the war you will not go to the Bodensee in summer." "I got a severe bout of sciatica there." "You'd suffer like hell for five years!" " I see." "Calm down." "We have some very special suffering in store for you here, and now!" "At the personal wish of the Fuehrer himself!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "What are you doing?" "What are you doing, you fools?" " Come with us!" " I wanted to save you!" "I wanted to save the Third Reich!" " Halt!" " No!" "Why did I let you talk me into this...?" "!" " Yes!" "Yes!" " This is awful." "And it was all planned out so beautifully!" " Well...!" " Look it's nearly off!" " And so what?" "Are you going to fight them with a tooth-pick, or what?" "It's all this idiot's fault!" " Who?" "Me?" "How can one die without at least venting one's fury on this calf?" "What's this?" "Instead of preparing your souls for the Lord, you stand here kicking at each other?" "You go first, as punishment!" "Take everything out of your pockets!" "What's this?" "Well..." "A gentleman's perfume... or something?" "Could you at least lock the door, considering your hands are free?" "Go on, you're scared, man!" "You shit-ass!" "Watch it!" "The door!" " Come on!" "Quickly!" " Open up!" " And lock it!" "Hands!" "Hurry up!" "Your coats!" "And what about Helena?" "We can't leave her here!" " Shut up, then!" "Be careful!" "Left, left, left, two, three, four." "Left, left..." "I'm not leaving Helena here!" " Come on, Bauer, let's leave him to it." "With such an..." " What if I don't manage to start the rocket?" " Well, that's true." "Damn you, man, come on!" "Get in!" "Got aboard or I'll shoot!" "Oh!" "We've got the grenades!" " What?" " The grenades!" " Give me a couple!" "Come on!" "See?" "They're waiting, the bastards." "Take cover!" "Halt!" "Halt!" "The starter!" "Give me the starter!" "Come on!" "I'm frozen stiff." "I'm hoarse too, dammit!" "Can't you heat these things properly?" " We'll all be sick." "Poor Abard." "He couldn't have known it would come to this end." " Well, we'll have to decide what to do with Bures." " Hm, he's a dangerous witness." "What's going on now?" "!" "Bures!" "You haven't started off yet!" "What's happening?" " This is R-K-M calling." "May I taxi to the ramp?" " Yes." "Number six is free." "We'll open you up in a moment." "We're busy just now." "What do we need to wait for?" "The rocket's unlocked, isn't it?" "It won't be open here till later." "Come along, I'll take you to the cloakroom." "I'd stopped hoping it would end up like this." " You'd better not count you chicken-x." "Come on!" " Quickly!" "I hope you will help yourselves, though this is not the rule." "I'm going to change." " No, no, don't go away!" "You can change here!" "You've caught a cold, I see." " How dare you?" " Find something warm to wear." "I think you can make you choice from amongst these." "We're lucky." "1st JUNE" "Line twenty-two" " Egypt." "Follow me, please." "No nonsense, now!" "Today is June 1st." "And June is the last month of your regular excursions called The Fall of the Bastille." " But - that's me!" "1st JUNE Did you see?" " It's supposed to be the second." "Yesterday was the first." " But it is yesterday!" " You landed..." "You did it on purpose?" " Let's go and talk somewhere." " That means my car's outside?" "If I'm not wrong... suits should hang in closets." " Hm." "Well, put them there, then." "See." "Just like yesterday." "Yesterday's Kraus is going to rob today's Kraus." " What are you doing?" "Halt!" " You there!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "I said, stop!" "Hold him!" "Thief!" "But that's me...!" "Why did you do it?" " I have my reasons." " What are they?" " Don't you understand?" "What happened didn't happen." "June the first is only beginning." "Me, for example." "In a little while I shall get up and scald myself with tea." "Because everything's happening all over again at my flat." "Do you understand, gentlemen?" "I'm getting breakfast and Charles hasn't started suffocating on that roll yet." "He's still alive." "I must save him." "I don't want John to take his place again." "That's my reason." " Ah, yes, I see." " But how could you just put on his uniform and pilot the rocket?" " It was me who designed and tested these rockets." "Gentlemen, your friend Abard was executed." "But here stands today's Abard, today's Bauer." "They're waiting at their hotel, for the flight." "They may still be asleep." " Damn it, you're right." "We can have a repeat performance!" " This time without mistakes!" " That's right." " Thank you." " Wait!" " How's that?" "Why?" " Mr. Bures, you have exactly three and a half minutes to save your brother, Charles Bures the pilot." " What?" " We shan't be needing you again." "Hurry up, or Charles will suffocate." "Like yesterday." "Donald!" "Donald!" "Leave than gentleman alone!" "Poor John." "He suffocated on a roll." "That was a great idea of yours, having a repeat performance!" "But without you this time!" "We're in Prague." "Are the suits in the closet?" "Of course." "The suits are where they belong, in the closet." "And what about the armchairs?" "All right?" " Of course." " So that everything's O.K. Thank you." "Come in!" " We were there, the operation was a flop." " Where?" " What are you talking about?" " Here's proof!" "Everything twice." "This is you document, from yesterday's trip." " Of course... but..." "But how's that possible?" " You'd better not even ask about Hitler's reception." "We came back a while ago, but on June 1st again." "But the pilot wasn't Charles Bures, it was his brother." "You see" " Charles Bures had died." " Nonsense" " I've just spoken to him on the phone!" "Everything's all right." " Yes, of course, because Mr. Bauer saved him in the last moment." "I personally drove him right in front of that house." " What?" "I haven't been away from here at all!" " Not you." "You don't have any part in this game, anyway." "There are two Bauers now." "So that I'm very sorry but..." "May I...?" " What are you doing?" " Kraus!" "Have you gone mad?" " Do a little thinking!" "What do we need two identical engineers for..." "What manners, man." "Don't you have pity on anybody?" " Yes." "Mrs. Bauer, for example." "Just imagine if the poor woman were to have this at home - twice...!" "What?" "Poor Bauer." "It's a good thing you didn't shoot me, too." " That's not necessary, they executed your first version at Hitler's place." " What?" " I'll explain afterwards." "Let's go." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Please!" "Please - are you going to town?" "Please take me at least to the Metro!" " I can't take you any further anyway." "Come on then!" "Could I please make a call?" " You must dial zero first, I'm linked onto our dispatch centre." " Oh, thanks." "Hello, is that John or Charles?" "This is..." "Charles Bures." "So Bauer came in time, he managed to save you?" "Who's Bauer?" "That little chap in the funny hat!" "Somebody in a funny hat was killed in a car accident in front of the house." "So it's all gone wrong again!" "Oh dear!" "What now?" "I wouldn't know." "Who is this, anyway?" "Johnny!" "I know you're John!" "I just know!" "I'm John too." "I'm John too." "That means we're both of us John now." "I was you, understand?" "!" "I am you, but your yesterday you." "You're today's John." "Me!" "Understand?" "You pretending to be Charles too, like me." "Like me!" "Stop all this joking!" "We have a death in the family." "Don't keep me, I'm busy!" "Please, may I...?" "Thanks." "Universum?" "Mr. Rousek, please." "Mr. Rousek?" "This is about Charles Bures." "He'll be kissing Mrs. No1 in the office in about twenty minutes." "You go in there, they'll stop kissing and..." "Dear Sir, why on earth would I go in there?" "Mrs. No1 happens to be here in my office!" "With the files." "There's going to be a mistake in those files!" "So you'll go in there again!" "And then Charles Bures will be kissing Mrs. No1, but they'll stop, and you please be so kind as to tell Bures not to go to Eva's place, not to propose to her!" "Helena, the air hostess, is going to fall in love with him." "At - about - three in the afternoon." "And he cares for Helena too, she's wonderful girl!" " I'm not interested in all this gossip, mister!" "Hello!" " How about getting out?" "A bit of fresh air won't hurt you..." " But I'm in an awful hurry!" " Ou!" "Oh - how will I get to..." " You seem to know all about everything that's going to happen, so I'm sure you know which idiot is going to give you a lift this time." "A complaint?" "Second door to the left." " Thank you." " That's all right." "Hi, chum!" "Permit me to flap my flapper at you!" "Come here, my boy!" "Come here for a minute!" " But I'm in a hurry!" "I'm late." "Now then, my boy." "What happened between you and Margaret yesterday?" "Well?" " Well..." "Margaret who...?" " For God's sake, this is too much..." "You still have the courage to make fun of me?" "What now?" "!" "What here?" " I have to kill myself now." " What an odd person you are..." " How can two of us live from one salary..." " Where do you want to do it?" " Look here, at this time I started on my round trip of Prague." "We have to wait for me here." "See?" "I'm surprised at you!" "In a few days'time he'll pretend not to know you." "Good morning, Bures." "Anything wrong?" " Hello." " Charles!" " Hello, Miss." " There, you see..." "You're a scoundrel, Bures." "Suddenly you pretend no to know her!" "And just look at you... you're a sight!" " Somebody beat me up, but I don't know who it was." "I'm a bit... you see, my brother has died." " For God's sake, what happened?" " He suffocated on a roll." " Ah." "I'd..." "I'd need a rest now." " Ah, yes, all right, all right." "But mind you're at the dispatch centre an hour before the start." " What time do I start?" "Sorry, but I've forgotten." " At fourteen ten." "Boy some roses, Sir!" " I'm in a hurry!" "Mr. Bures...!" " Sorry." "In a minute a man is coming in here, who'll look exactly like me, except that he'll be in uniform." "You mustn't let him in at any cost, understand?" "Is that clear?" " That's clear." " And could you call Mr. Kroupa for me?" "I have to talk to him, just the two of us." "Eva mustn't know!" "Buy some roses, Sir!" "Roses." "Seven." "Seven for luck." "Oh, it's you?" "How you get around?" "And who's hurt you?" "Economizing on flowers - that's all wrong." "I'm sorry, so sorry." "Do tell me, how could such a thing have happened to John?" " Mr. Kroupa, the dead man isn't John but Charles, you see." " In that case... who are you?" " I'm John!" " You are Jan?" " You must tell Eva that Charles wouldn't have married her anyway." " How's that?" " Well, he also promised to marry somebody called Mrs. No1, and he had all sorts of affaires." " The scoundrel?" "!" "Well..." "Sorry..." "Nothing but good about the dead." " Charles!" " Please tell her, but carefully!" " Carefully, of course." " You've come, at last!" " Evie, Evie, you must be brave." "This isn't Charles, it's John." " John?" " Charles choked on a roll." " Yes, he choked." "Wait, what are you..." "Wait..." "Not like that, no!" " Eva!" " Go away!" "The chair, come on...!" " The chair!" " Here it is." " Put it down here then." " Eva, what happened to you?" "Daddy, what's wrong with her?" " Come on now, come on..." " Eva, darling!" "Christ, what's happened?" " Don't stand here screaming and pop over to the Novak's for some ammonia." "Run!" "You?" "But you're dead!" " It's my brother who's dead." " Yeah." "All fun and jokes and my little Eva nearly died of fright!" "Charles, you're alive?" " I'm alive." "And I've been playing at Charles." "Like you have." " You're alive, Charles?" " No, wait!" "I'm not." "Do you know who Charles was?" " Honestly..." " A scoundrel!" "A Fascist!" "He wanted to change history!" "A threat to the whole world!" "D'you understand?" " So you're alive, Charles." " But I'm not Charles!" "I'm you!" " You are gave me a fright..." " I guess I'll never be able to explain." " What sort of a stupid game is this?" "I'll try and explain." " Charles, darling, you're alive?" "!" " Let him be!" "He's a scoundrel!" " He's two-timing you!" " Let me go!" "I'll never give him up!" "You were just trying to make me forget him!" " I'll explain!" " There's no need!" "Come here!" "Charles, darling, are you all right?" " For heaven's sake, what's happening?" " They've tricked us." "Both of them are in it, together!" "Who knows which of them is Charles!" "I'm not!" " There!" "Neither am I!" " How's that?" "They're making fun of us, both of them." "Peter, this one first!" "What's to become of us?" " You've made us into orphans, orphans..." " We have a premiere next week!" "This is a tragedy." " It's no good making so much ado about this." "Nothing so terrible has happened." "It could have been worse." " Can't you see they're all dead?" "!" " Don't worry doctor, they'll be as fit as a fiddle again tomorrow..." "Today... as a matter of fact!" "It's high time." "We start in one hour." " Calm down!" "I made it in time yesterday too." "That's me over there!" "See?" "Exactly like yesterday!" " Ah." "Are you crazy?" "You can't shoot from here!" " You'll have to cover me!" "Your coat!" "Boys!" "Do you have to play right here?" "!" "Halt!" "Halt!" "Stop!" "Eagle calling!" "Eagle calling!" "Eagle calling!" "Eagle calling!" "Some patent, this..." "Eagle calling, eagle calling!" "1st JUNE" "Bauer is no longer there." "Come along!" "Quick!" "The visit to the dinosaur, line 27, please get ready for departure." " Where are you?" "I just can't wait any longer!" " We've got the police at our heels." "Are you Charles Bures?" " What sort of a stupid question is that..." "The suitcase!" " Where is Bauer?" "Was he with you?" " As you see." "He saved me from suffocation." "Otherwise I wouldn't be here!" " Where can he be, what can be keeping him?" "Look here!" "The same thing as yesterday!" "The two of them will fly with us." " Calm down!" "And go to the cloakrooms, fast." "That's all right, Captain." "This guy's something else again." "Much better." " Well, I don't know." " What is it?" "Well?" " There's something I don't like about this." "May I, Helena?" " Yes." "Mr. Abard has booked the whole flight." "Mr. And Mrs. White will not be going on this trip." " Really, what impertinence!" " I'm sorry, but their tickets are valid." "They'll go!" " By what right..." " I have different instructions." " I cannot believe it...!" " If they bring me written instruction from the director, all right." "I'll wait here." " I'll see to it at once." " Just a minute, Helena!" " My brother sends his love." " But... that's impossible." "Why..." " Surely this matter of your brother could wait right now, couldn't it?" " Just a minute!" "Helena!" "John wants to ask you on a date." "Would you go?" " You're having me on, aren't you?" "That's you all over!" "The car was hired in the name Rolf Kraus and that man was seen running in here!" " Rolf Kraus?" " Rolf Kraus." " Here." "Line twenty-seven, departure time fourteen ten, tunnel B." "We can make it!" "R-K-M do not start!" "R-K-M do you hear me?" "Do not start!" "The control centre forbids you to start!" "R-K-M reports position - flying through atmosphere." "But that means..." " That it's gone without you!" "Escaped us all!" " Can't you get the rocket back..." " No, we can't." "That would endanger the passengers." " But that's scandalous!" " Well..." " How about looking in on the building of the pyramids?" " Tch!" "Pyramids indeed..." " Or the Battle of Waterloo?" "We would of course make up the difference in price." "Waterloo?" "Never heard of it." "Watergate, you mean?" "!" "Gentlemen, how about visiting me in my cabin?" "You're great, man just the type I like." "There." "You see!" "A gift for the Fuehrer." "I suspected him wrongly." "It worked beautifully today." "Is this really possible?" "Two brothers, one of them a fool and the other such a smartie!" " When we've won, I shall propose a distinction for Charles Bures." "The Iron Cross with Oak leaves!" "We must definitely renew that distinction!" "You'll get it too!" " Oh, all right..." " The historical moment is approaching!" "The Fuehrer is sure to want to see the rocket personally." "Wait here!" " You'll become witnesses to the moment" " O.K. Then." "Let's go!" " When the whole world is to be saved!" " Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Two spies are about to assassinate Hitler." "They'll be attacking Admiral Wolf's car, guard it." "They have an infernal machine in that suitcase they're carrying!" "Is there anything I can do for you, Sturmbannfuehrer?" "What's the day today?" "Admiral?" " Just a moment!" "It didn't go like this!" "Watch out!" "The bomb!" "Down!" "This is crazy, Bures!" "You haven't started yet!" "Bures, can you hear me?" "1st JUNE" "Today is June 1st." "And June is the last month for our regular trips called The Fall of the Bastille." "What'll we have, Charlie?" " Coffee, sweetie!" "Sorry to interrupt, but would you like to listen to something?" " What's it about?" " How shall I explain..." "Look." "My brother's a scoundrel, a Fascist." "And there's a whole gang of them!" "No, wait!" "It all started this way..." "Actually, it's going to start!" "In a little while I'll get up and I'll scald myself with tea!" " What?" " Keep calm." "What's wrong?" "No parking here?" " The parking's all right, Mr. Kraus." " Yes?" "The Suits are in the closet, where they should be." "Yes, yes." "Charles?" "Charles, how are you?" "Look!" "That's me!" " Sorry." " Donald..." " I know it's odd, but it's a fact." "Quickly, please, this is matter of seconds!" "Please..." "Here doctor, this way!" "That damned roll...!" "He looks well again, doctor." " Yes, well." "You were lucky." " But you nearly had it." " How right you are." "I'm sorry, doctor, but it did look awful." " That's all right, a brother's a brother." "Except that Johnny is always panicky." "But thanks, doctor." "Eva darling, this is Charles." "I dreamt about you all night." "We must get married, and soon!" " Charles!" "Charles..." "Mummy!" "Doctor, do you think that such an incident as the one with the roll could have a basic influence on a man's character?" " Hm... that's difficult to say." "You got me into a mess!" " Wait!" "I've got to tell you something!" " Well, talk then!" " Johnny, don't go there!" " Why not?" "How did this watch come to be here?" " Really..." " Well, whose is it?" "I have no idea." "But surely that's no so important." "I'd like to tell you something important." " What?" "You said you have nobody to live for." "I made a date for you with a certain air hostess." "Her name is Helena." "You'll like her a lot!" "Charles, you had an affaire with her...?" " On the contrary!" "She hates me." "Buy some roses, Mister!" " Shall we buy some roses?" " Let's..." " Two bunches, seven roses to the bunch." " Seven's for luck." " Although it didn't bring much luck last time." "Not to you." " I don't know what you're talking about, gentlemen." "You've never been here before." " Charles!" "Charles!" "Charles!" "Take more care next time!" "Did you hear?" " And I will, too!" "Charles!" "I nearly lost you!" "THE END"
