"In memory of Aleksander Kaidanovsky." "THE WITMAN BOYS" "Lord Jesus be our guest, let this food to us be blessed." "János!" "János!" "János, wake up!" "János, wake up!" "Your father is sick." "Come, quick!" "Ernõ!" "Ernõ, wake up, your dad is sick, come." "Come!" "Come quick, Hurry!" "Come!" "Hurry up!" "Hurry!" "Thank you." "János..." "Poor dad." "Come!" "Doctor, taste this." "Bet!" "Will he see us from heaven?" " Will he look out for us?" " They'll perform an autopsy." "But why?" "They have an autopsy on everyone." "Witman passed away young as well." "Well, let me see." " This is a heart attack, my dear colleague." " Well, the most common cause nowadays." "Time, my dear colleague." "That is our great sickness." "It's not the Time that passes away, but we are." " But you know the cure, don't you?" " I found the Time inside the brain that taints and spoils our happiness." "I know what has to be taken off." "And I will gladly offer my help to those who cannot bear the thought of passing away." "That cursed obsession." "Come on, Bodri." "Our Father which art in heaven," "Hallowed be thy name." "Thy kingdom come," "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven." "Give us this day our daily bread." "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors." "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." "Amen." "Sit down." "Everyone keep quiet!" "Witman János and Ernõ, stand up." "I know how much it hurts to lose a father." "Death is a horrible act, but it's a part of life." " My condolences." " Thank you." " My condolences." " Thank you." " I don't want it, mom!" " János, you must have some." "You're so slim, so skinny." "They'll say I starve you." " But I don't want it." " My boy, you have to eat." "Every mother must take care of their children." "I don't want to!" "Don't oppose, my son!" "I'm not hungry, I don't want to eat!" "János, you can't raise your father from the dead by starving." "I don't want to hear them saying at school, that Mrs. Witman cannot even give her sons proper food." "Son." "Son!" "Mom did not cry at all." "If we died would she cry for us?" "She would." " And would you cry if I died?" " I would." "János, tell me that nothing will ever separate us." "Only death willl." "But we'll be buried in the same tomb." "Here, in dad's?" "Yes, here." "The singer of death." "He's holding terrible secrets." "Lives longer than a hundred years." "How old are you, owl?" "He's two hundred years old." "You have nice eyes." "Like the ones dad had." "We'll take you home." "Thank you Lord for giving us, food and drink." "Amen." "You're so slim, so skinny, my boy." "You have to eat" "You must have some." "Eat up." "You can't raise anyone from the dead by starving." "Eat!" "Hurry!" " Do you know what day it is?" " Friday." " And what date?" " I don't know." " Why?" " We buried dad six months ago." "Come!" " I hope everyone brought their frog." " Yes, teacher." "All right, let's do it." "Take care, don't hustle!" "Witman!" "Aren't you interested in the breathing mechanism of frogs?" "Come!" "I don't want to ask you twice." "Now we open the pericardium, take out the heart, and see it working." "Teacher!" "Is the frog feeling pain right now?" "What are you thinking of, Witman?" "It just occured to me." "To life!" " What are you doing?" " I'm letting Bodri free." "Don't be scared!" "The lungs," "and the heart." "During exhalation the chest cavity diminishes in size and air rushes out from the lung cells." "See figure 273." "The right lung has three, the left lung has two lobes that consist of muscle fiber, just like the heart." "Let him go." "I'm scared." "Aren't you interested in this, Witman?" "The breathing mechanism of Bodri?" "Wow, beautiful." "Do you like it?" "I do." "Did the maid give you your underwear?" "Yes, she did." "This soup is fantastic." "No doubt, there's nothing better than home-made food." "Boys!" "From this day Mr. Tálay is part of our family." "Boys, I hope we'll get along nicely." "Sentenced: death by hanging." " Sometimes they get silly ideas." " Very funny." "What's this whining?" "Just dogs rutting." "Give it to me!" "Executioner, do your duty!" "Our Father which art in heaven," "Hallowed be thy name." "Thy kingdom come," "Thy will be done..." "Hey, the Witmans are here." "What's up, Witman?" "They took your place in your mother's bed?" "What's the new daddy like?" "Mommy pleased herself pretty quickly, don't you think?" "Their mother is a slut." "What's gonig on here?" "What happened?" "Who started the fight?" " I called his mother names and we started to fight." " That's not true." "Called his mother names." "Is it so?" "Yes." "Sit down, Zöldi." "Witman, come here!" "Wipe your nose!" "He will get a dozen." "Who will deliver it?" "I'll be glad to do it." "Come here!" "If you don't hit it with full force, you'll get it." " Wait, wait!" " What is it, are you a virgin or what?" "The children." "I heard their steps outside." "Your goddamn brats." "Please." "I'm sorry." "He's smart and clever." "He's lived for two hundred years." "Look, Ernõ!" "Its head is almost like two huge eyes." "Hiding ancient secrets." "First we tear out your feathers one-by-one." "You will be in great pain but you won't scream, 'cause we tie your beak shut with a wire." "Let it go!" "No." "We'll kill it..." "We'll kill it." "How soft and flossy your feathers are." "Owl, you're only a house." "Where suffering just moved in, and you can get rid of it only if we kill you." "And where does suffering lives?" "Now I know, I know." "Inside the head of the owl." "Inside our heads." "Inside every person's head." "It's lurking everywhere." "Goddess Minerva, which art in heaven," "Hallowed be thy name." "Thy kingdom come..." "Amen." "Is it a sin to dissect an animal?" "Is it if it's killed by the process?" "I confess to Almighty God that I have sinned in my words and in what I have done." "I helped killing a pigeon, and I helped killing a dog as well, it was Bodri." "We built him a gallow and hanged him in the attic." "Then we dissected him alive and buried him." "We picked the eyes out of an owl then we took out its stomach, its kidneys, its liver." "We watched while it lost all its blood." "We mopped it up." "We pierced its heart with needles." "Then we buried him." "Father, if someone sins, can he be absolved from that great sin?" " Aren't you coming home?" " Home?" "You whore, you slut!" "Take that!" "You cesspool, take that." "You beast, you animal." "It hurts!" "A whip, that's what you deserve." "Let it go." "Go to hell!" "Little boy." "Come with me." " What is it, are you afraid?" " No, I'm not." "Come." "Your hands are cold." "Yes." "Do you like me?" "A lot." "What do you like most about me?" "Your eyes." "Have you ever done it before?" "No." "Come here!" "You can kiss me." "What do you want?" "Take it easy!" "What's your name, miss?" "Irén." "Pleasant dreams and sleep tight, masters." "Eszti!" "Tell me a tale!" "What tale?" "A tale of love!" "Tell me about that house!" " What house?" " That nameless house." "Kiss me." "Stupid girl!" "You beast." "Slut." "What are you doing here?" "Wait!" "Look at that." "Witman János, come on out." "Zöldi, you too." "It was done by Zöldi, wasn't it?" "János?" "I don't know who did it." "I did it, teacher." "Bend over, my son." "Will you deliver the beating?" " Me?" " You." "He's guilty." "Deliver him from evil." "Deliver him yourself." "Aren't you afraid of me?" "No, I'm not." "I'm not afraid of you." " Will you deliver it?" " No!" " Deliver it!" " No." "You'll learn how to behave in a school." "You damn rowdy boy." "Will you learn?" " Will you take me there?" " Hey, Witman!" "Witmans!" "I give you my penknife." "And thank you." "Now I'll take you to that house." "Come on!" "Don't be shy." "Ernõ, come on!" "Look out, she's comimg." " What are you doing here?" " I'm here." "And brought my brother as well." " Come on in." " Good afternoon, miss." " And what do you want here?" " We want you." "Sit down!" "Take your clothes off." "What was your name again?" "Witman János." "And yours?" "Ernõ." "Witman Ernõ." "It's not a good day today." "I'm in a bad mood." "I've been watching myself in the mirror whole afternoon, thinking of my vanishing beauty." "Ask her name." "Come on, ask her!" "Don't you hear, Ernõ!" "What's your name, miss?" "How beautiful you are, my little brothers." "Catch it!" "Wait for me!" "Where are they now?" "They stroll the streets the whole day." "At least they could come home for supper." "You have two rowdy sons." "They bring grief on you." "You always nag at them, you evil man." "These boys need a father." "Don't count on me." "You are a sponger." "Yes, you are." "A sponger." "You come here for the food only." "So you don't have expenses." "Don't you even deny it?" "You're playing a nasty little game with me." "You're not here, not present at all." "Only your ever hungry stomach." "And your famous potency." "I'm bored with you, Mária." "Incredibly bored." "I'm a lazy man." "I didn't leave you only because of my lazyness." "What's up, master?" "Eszti, do you have a fiancé?" "I don't have anyone." "Such nice large hands you have." " Do you give me your hands?" " What for?" "So that I can kiss them." "What's this sillyness, master?" " Could you love me?" " Of course." "I love you already." "The wind's blowing." " Do you feel it?" " Yes, I do." "It caresses me." " They are dancing here, all around me." " Irén is here, too." "Do you see her?" "She's naked, I see." "She's so nice." "I would watch her for a hundred years." "I could touch her if I stretched my arm." " She's caressing me." " I wish she would stay." "Now she's leaning closer, I can feel her... on my face, on my lips." "I wish she would stay." " Who is it?" " Witman János." "And Witman Ernõ." " What is it?" "What happened?" " We love you, Irén." "You're the most beautiful woman we know." "I love you, too." "I love you, Irén." "You're the only reason for me to live." "You're sweet." "I'm glad you came by." "Next time bring me some surprise, all right?" "A present, sweets..." "Don't worry!" "I'll figure out something nice for you." "Eszti, come in for a second." "Sit down!" "Where are my sons?" "Tell me." "I don't know." " Eszti, tell me, where are my sons!" " I don't know!" "Sure you do." "I'm asking you for the last time, tell me, where are they." "They are on the streets." "Do you love your children?" " I do." " No, you don't." "What should we bring her?" "We'll figure it out, Ernõ." "It's not her." "It's cold." "For ever, amen." "Sit down." "Report." "I respectfully report that today, on the 3rd of March, 1914 the headcount is 32." "Failed to show up today:" "Witman János and Witman Ernõ." "There she comes." "What are you doing here?" "Beat it!" "We've been waiting for you, Irén." "Oh, look at these pups!" "Hey, buster, what's up?" "Is your dong moving around?" "You muck!" "Leave us alone!" "Get lost!" "Go home." " I'm not afraid of you." "I know you well." " You know me, huh?" "You cesspool." "Stop it, please." "Come on, let's go inside!" "Let's go inside, it's pointless." " Watch your step!" " Let him go." " I'll beat you up, you little shit!" " You come here early morning tomorrow, will you?" " Of course we will, Irén." "And bring me some presents, as we agreed." "Right?" "Amen." "How shiny it is." "What?" "That thing." " Please." " János, don't be silly!" " János, calm down!" " Let me have it!" " Son, knock it off!" " I need it for a present, I promised." "Let is go, stop acting like a crazy!" "Do you understand?" "Stop it!" "Then you eat it." "Pour me some wine." "Madam, I'd like to have the night off." " Are my sons asleep?" " Yes." "I leave, then." "She's going to bed now." " We should get hold of the key." " Impossible, she keeps it safe." "You can't ask her anything." "No way." "Wouldn't let us have it." "We should break the glass of the chest." "She'll wake up and alarm the house." "We'll do it quietly." "I break the glass with the handle of my penknife." "She won't wake up." "You hold the flashlight, and I pick all the rings and the bracelets." " What if she wakes up?" " If she wants to hit us we run away." "We'll give the jewelry to Irén." " All of it?" " All of it." "But first we wait until midnight." "Boys, what are you doing?" "Storyboard based on short stories of:"
