"You always forget something." "Those sails must not be neglected." "Yesterday's load was cement." "If it rains, concrete'll set behind you ears." "They'll have to chisel it off." "You should've been born a horse." "But the Lord changed his mind." "Beneath him the beautiful distant places lie, round which the mountains darkly rise." "By woods encircled all around." "Amidst the flower-spattered ground." "The bright lake sleeps in slumber sound." "The waters rippling to its shores're striving to meet." "Until at last they marge in one luminous sheet." "Only the turtle-dove does not coo forth its call to love anymore." "Don't shit yourself, cardboard dude!" "Take these for your ears." "If you wear them, the ears'll stick to your head beautifully." "A pine grove rustles on the lake's still shore," "Whence glorious psalm of speckled thrush ascends." "A portly tree stands on the rock - an old eak." "Through the green vale scattering the blossoms white," "Guding the wild geese over the woods in flight." "Aren't you cold?" " I am, but nobody wants to warm me up." " Why dodn't you say something?" " You're a right one, eh?" "You're all smoke and no fire." "See you." "Living it up, eh?" " I wish!" "My wife had a boy yesterday." "We celebrated a little." " Are redheads celebrated too?" "I'm surprised." " What's up?" " A little celebration." "Celebrate, with your work!" " Your mate!" " I didn't see him over there." " Look at him!" "Look at the nitwit!" "That... that..."

"Far-far off even its dream - as a shadow did it fade," "As the image of white citiens in the waters'depths arrayed," "As the last thoughts of the dead," "The names that once they bore, The roll and roar of battle..."

"The gate-post was one week old." "It cost me 500." "I'm through with Rakosnik." "Take it from me - let someone else have the pleasure." " I know it's not easy for you." "But who should I entrust him to?" " I don't care!" "I've had this millstone around my neck for 5 years!" "A saint youldn't put up with it!" " I know how you feel." "But who should I entrust him to?" "Duda's too young." "Duda's too young." "Can I entrust him to your husband?" " He'd kill him." "He's terribly bad-tempered." " It'd serve him right!" " Have you really flattened the Prague weekender'fence?" " Come on..." "You know that..." "The boy needs a father's touch." "You've got it." "You can handle him and he listens to you." " Nothing doing - let me have Sestak back." "A moron too, but at least he can sing." "Nobody's truck's as clean as yours." "You can't take that away from Otik." " Till the hervest's over, not a minute longer." "There you are." "Here I am." "Been waiting long?" "They delivered the meat." " Who gave them to you?" " Mr. Pavek." "They say he was mad with rage." "He doesn't want you anymore." "The'll hand you over to someone else." "He was fuming." "You'll be Turek's mate" " I guess." "You' II have a hard time!" "I've brought you some shirts and socks." "You've nothing to wear." "And don't think, Turek's not going to baby you." "You know." "I'll bring the rest tomorrow - was too busy to wash them." "Turek's been known to hit his mates." "What's this?" "Where's it from?" "Come here, Otik!" "Did you have woman here?" "Come on." "Come." "Swear - by the picture of your poor late parents:" "Did you have woman here?" "Look into my eyes:" "Yes or no?" "O.K., let's go and wash up." "Don't go into the front parlour too often - it gets untidy easily." "Clear the mess of the table yourself, after we've washed up." "Why don't you take off this finery?" "Let me do it for you." "That's better." "C'mon " "I haven't got much time." "Come on." "A man, and he can't break a pigeon's neck." "And a pigeon breeder to boot!" "Dash it, I forgot what I wanted to tell you!" "It can wait though, I'll tel you later." "The laundry's done." "I'll bring the bedclothes afterwards." "The rabbit and dumplings're in the oven." "Warm them up properly." "Otik!" "A superb film" " Rumanian." "Have you got a ticket?" "No." "You must see it." "Where have I...?" "Here." "Good thing I've bought it for you." "Don't miss the newsreel." "Put you suit on, quick." "Let's go." "It's partly travel, partly erotic." "I'd like to see it once more, but I must go to a lecture on livestock instead." "My old box's out of order." "A bad tube, I guess." "Otas!" "In no case leave before the film's over!" "The end's the best." "Enjoy yourself." "Mrs. Hruskova!" "Mrs. Hruskova!" "What's it like?" " They nearly cancelled it." "All told, I sold six tickets." " Jo?" "Aha." "Bye then." "What am I picking?" " Nettles, for the Easter stuffing." " But I don't use that much." " Is the film showing?" " Yes, but it was nearly cancelled." " How come?" "I myself sent six people." " They all came." "Vasku." "This'll give me herpes again." " You beast!" " I couldn't wait to be with you..." "Don't be scared, Sonia." "Don't worry." "Just have a bang, Eugene!" " Mind you graves, raven." "Driving forward's easy, but you got to have a knack for backing." " Dinner's ready, Dad." "Dad, they say you bumped into Mr. Rumlena's gate-post." "It isn's true, is it?" " Just eat and mind your own business." "Can't eat with all this singing." "Isn't it enough to live next to the cemetery?" "Of you can't sing anything else, at least cut it out while we eat." "It's like chewing wreaths." " Actually, it's quite a wreck." "We went to look." " So what?" "So what?" " Good evening - night, rather." " Goodbye." "Well, see you." "Tuesday at nine then." " Yes." "Let's go!" " Good night." " Bring the rum." " Sure." " Why the rush?" " It's a PTA meeting tonight." "You must go, I can't." "Didn't get my hair done." " To school?" " You go..." " I don't mind going." "They should all have their own towels." "Keep an eye on their homework." "That's all for now, thank you." "Good-bye." " Good-bye." "Make sure they dress properly." "Otherwise, I'm quite satisfied." "Good-bye." " Good-bye." " Good-bye." " Good-bye." "Good-bye." "Good-bye." "What's the matter?" " What about her writing." " All right." "It's neat." " I see." "Gotta any problems?" " Got." "She has problems with pronouns." "Practise them with her." "Personal pronouns in particular." " Pronouns in particular." " I see." "Thanks then." "How d'you like it here?" " Quite, I hope I'll get used..." " What's keeping you?" " I'm just going." " When'll the next PTA meeting be?" " In 3 months." " Hm." "Good-bye then." " Good-bye." "They say you ruined the wekender's gate-post." "Is it true?" " Gate-post?" "The whole shed, including the roof!" " Good Lord!" "I've no mate, man." "He's either on strike, or has hanged himself." "Shut up, you beast!" "Otik, get up." "You I have lovely ears, but no money." "Get up, we're going for cement." "Water levels:" "Brandys nad Labem 146/60," "Melnik 252/115," "Usti nad Labem 180/144," "Decin 175/171," "Orlice-Tyniste nad Orlici 92/10." "Still waiting for you to warm me up." " It'll happen one day." "Don't eavesdrop - you a spy or what?" "Don't forget the meeting." " Will you watch my back for me?" " What's your mate good for?" " Nothing." " Put it here." " No jo." " You brought fodder?" " Yeah." " From Kolin?" " Yeah." " A mix?" " Yeah." "NO SMOKING" "That's not very clever." " What?" " Putting used matches back into the box." " Why?" " You'll see one day." "Mr. Pavek," "I don't want to work with Turek." " You didn't appreciate me." "When the harvest's over, you'll join Turek." " Me?" "When the rake starts flowering." " Take a look at it at home." "It may be budding." " When the harvest's over, it's Turek." "What is it, Otik?" "Look" " Otik brought you this." "He likes you, poor thing." "He doesn't know how to tell you." "You should forgive him." "When the pressure falls before a storm, I feel wiped out." " So do I - what's next?" " Varicose veins." " Look at mine." " D'you wear elastic stockings?" " I do." " D'you take Anavenol?" " I do." " That's it then." "Go on." " I'm serving beer." "Someone asks for the bill." "I turn my head and it won't go back." " Can you turn the whole body, like this?" " Sure." " Turn the whole body then." "Go on." " I can't sleep." "I wake up at four and I can't go back to sleep." " Commonplace at this age." "I'm wakeful from half past three." "What's next?" " My joints." "Sometimes I can hardly get up." " But you do?" " In the end, because, I have to." " Why complain then?" "There're people who can't at all." " Doctor, you make light of everything." "I know best how I feel." "I'm not going to be here much longer." " D'you want spa treatment?" " No, it didn't do me any good." " Close down the pub and go to the sea then." " I went the year before last." "It gives me the runs." " Go to the High Tatra then." " I can't stand heights." " You know where to go then?" "Go to Pelhrimov and have a look at the cramtorium - so you know what it's like there." "Yeah?" "Next!" "Dear comrade, with reference to the demanding plan targets..." " A lovely ship!" "Where did you get if from?" " The boy made it." "...in the interest of producer-end-user relations, our organization needs a driver's mate." " Your Honza?" " Ships're his hobby." "We'd like to make use of the extensive experience of your employee, comrade Rakosnik." "We have offered him a company flat on a housing estate in Prague and he has accepted." "METALWOOD, perschnel dept., Koutna." " Expect Otik going to Prague to save the producer-end-user-relations?" " Something like it." "What have you to say?" " Me" " I'm through with him." "What is there for me to say?" " That's just it." " What's just it?" " Can you imagine the boy going to Prague?" "Can you just imagine it?" "He gets lost in the streets." "All the houses're the same on the housing estate." "No one to turn to." "That match's not a good idea, Jaromir!" "Terrible to think of our Otik stopping Prague traffic." "To let a truck back in somewhere." " I prefer not to." " This letter..." "This is the last time you to this!" "Tohle bylo naposledy." "What's the big idea?" "That I'd be carrying on with her, at my age?" "Another raid like this and you're fired!" "This'll give me a stroke!" "Co je?" " Just came in to ask who'll pick the kid up from kindergarten." " Granny, as always." " That's what I wanted to know." " He needs treatment." "That's not normal." " Sorry." " This letter did not write itself." "Sure - someone must've written it." " That's just it." " You look as if I'd written it myself." " You didn't - some Koutna woman wrote it, personnel dept." "But someone must've told them about Otik, eh?" "With my common sense, it's easy to work out" " Now I see, - who in this village'd benefit..." " I see." "You think then I fixed it up in Prague..." " I didn't say that." "I'm just asking." " For 5 years, I've been chained to him." "Taught him to use knife and fork, to wash, so that he wouldn't fall under my wheels." "...like he was my own son now they'll suspect me!" "Don't take it too seriously, dad." " Cut it out!" "Dancing - when a funeral's on!" "Get down!" " Silence please - a funeral's on!" " Mind your business - graveyrad bully!" "You're behaving like a ruffion." "Good morning, doctor." "How convenient to live by the burial pit, eh?" " 'Morning." " Shine on me the sun..." " And music as well!" "The boy'll perish in Prague within a week." "It's either a crazy idea, or a set-up." "What's it look like on the 7th step?" " They're there." " How are you?" " Fine, but from the dizziness." " As you get up?" " Yes." "In the morning, sit up in bed first, stay like that for some time, get up carefully." " Ano." " Have you still fot the pills?" " Yes." " Fajn." "What gave you the idea that the 7th step'd give it the right temperature?" " Long-term trials." "It's warm on the 6th, too cold on the 8th." " I see." " Karel likes experimenting, eh?" "He's fond of trials." " Good morning, doctor." " 'Morning." " How did it go for him?" " He had a beautiful funeral." "Give me a drink, just a drop." "What a lovely day!" " It's so fresh!" "Such moments should be remembered, to fall back on." "To warm you up in winter." " Look!" "Such beauties're becoming rarer, but there's still something left." "Some woodland, beer's good..." "...sometimes..." " I'll fetch the plates." " And the girls, Karel, our girls're the most beautiful in the world." "The Spanish or Italian women can't match up - they mostly have goat-like legs." "Did you notice how many girls walk about braless?" " I did." " Nice fashion, eh?" " Yeah." " I'm glad it's spread as far as our village." " This gravestone artist's a pain." "Fanda - your diligence's getting on my nerves." " Tool busy, doctor." "Many cadavers, few engravers." " Come and wash away the dust." "Where did we leave off?" " That they walk about braless." " Yeah, looks like we're not going to conclude it." " Anything special you're busy with?" " An interesting gravestone - with no inscription." "It'll be added on when the person dies." " Did he place an advance order for a tomb?" " Yeah." " Who is it?" " I mustn't tell." " People don't know what to do with money." "He's got a house, TV, car." "What is there I haven't got, he asks?" "A tomb." "Hi." " Hi." " Hi." "Your guardian angel's having a hell of a job." " The madguard needs replacing, I guess?" " No use, unless you got a rubber one." "Jesus!" "In days past," "Czechs were strong and steadfast," "In days past," ""they were, for the eyes, a repast."" "Missing your old school?" " I've come to ask how my sister's doing." " I see." "Going to sit for your finals, aren't you?" " Yes." " What'll you do afterwards?" " Go to a dung college, er - School of Agriculture." " I'll keep my fingers crossed for you - don't let the side down!" " I drilled the pronouns with her - was it any good, I wonder?" "Like she din't botch up her dictation again?" "Shal I carry your bag?" " Yes." "Unusual - a brother so interested in his sister's progress." " Our parents're too busy." "It's up to me then." " Hm." " It's excercise-books, eh?" " Yes, exercise-books." " What're you laughing at?" " Nothing." "How you're chatting me up through your sister." " I'm a nuisance, eh?" " Why?" "You should concentrate on your studies now - and don't try to sweep older girls off their feet." "Aunt, are there rooms to let?" " Are you my nephew?" "Funny thing, I don't know you!" " Okay, so how about some accommodation?" " The village's changed, young man." "We don't address each other as Aunt and Uncle." "We use our first names and 'comrade'instead." "I wouldn't insist on that." "The customs have changed, though." "Like when a man addresses a lady:" "He stands up first and greets her." " Okay then." "I wish you good morning." "Permit me to ask you:" "What about some abode, ma'am?" " C'mon then."
