"Come and help me." "I'm dreadfully busy." "Help me move this." " Will you kindly use both hands?" " I can't, dear." "Why not?" "Don't let me keep you, you're busy." " What are you holding?" " Nothing." "Whas wrong with your hand?" "Let me see!" "God, what happened?" "The drill... two digits gone." "A dentiss drill hacked off two digits?" "It was all over in a jiffy." "Look." " What is it?" " The two finger digits." "No blood, don't worry." "Still at it!" "Good, wasn't it?" "I wanted to make you happy." "Such stupid tricks." " Aren't you glad I'm okay?" " Oh, come on." " I have two healthy hands." " You're crazy." "I shan't get to bed before four." "Make some coffee." "Others'd appreciate a joker husband." " Tereza's a miracle." " Who's Tereza?" " Our programmer." " Programmer..." " Watch the carpet." " Okay, is white wine." "How do you unfold it?" "Wait..." "Damn it." "Granny." "Granny!" "Whas up?" "I'm waiting at the tram stop." "Forgive me, Veronika." "I forgot." " Good morning." " Hello, Veronika." " Finished the report?" " Haven't started yet." "But this is a present for her." "She'll give you the sack this time!" "Throw bread, not stones." "She gives me the sack, I give her a present." "Give me a kiss." " Whas this for?" " Don't worry, Tereza." "Just leave it to me!" " At such moments I stop loving you." " Go on." "What a blouse!" "Excuse me." "Luckily you don't come by bus, those frills would get crushed." " Imported, I suppose?" " This thing?" "Cheap sheeting at 20 a meter." " And this - pace?" " Off an old pair of jeans." "Can't you tell?" "I don't know about these things." "Obviously." "General Laudon's riding by..." " What a bitch." " Mrs. Burda's a nice woman." "Nice maybe, woman hardly." "Bet you she gets prostate trouble!" "What is this?" "All the accessible literature, on our common task." "Pardon?" " I have brought you..." " I beg your pardon?" "Stop this hanky - panky and cough up your report." "I beg your pardon?" "Cough up?" "Hanky - panky?" "Kindly stop using such a vulgar tone!" "I am not used to it." "Can I speak to the boss?" "Right." "Good morning." "What are you doing here?" "How's your project coming along?" "I've brought some literature." " Whas this mess?" " They printed my article." "So what?" "Bring me your results or thas that." "How are you doing?" "Mr. Strnad is sabotaging my work." "We are now starting on the production line system analysis..." "The system analysis of the given sector." "I'm sorry, but precision in terminology is essential." "This is no fruit- cake recipe." "As for these journals, "mess" isn't the best term either." "Thas enough, come with me." "You too, Blanka." "Help me!" "This is particularly noteworthy." "...and our research project is computer control of a production sector." "That speaks for itself!" "And here..." "Here I marked the article by Professor Scott of Newcastle." "But this is the most interesting!" "The Fall Point Computer Conference had a paper on our problem... by Shmyglevski of the Moscow Academy of Sciences." "So Moscow is working on our problem too." "These problems are common for the whole world." "Let me see." "I met Shmyglevski personally..." "He only presents the general characteristics." "Of course, but Mrs. Burdova can draw specific conclusions." "As I did." "I like your initiative." "Karel is right, we must know these things before we begin on the next stage." "Do look at it, Blanka, and let me have a report." " Me?" "Surely not." " Who else?" "Karel Strnad has drawn his conclusions." "You do the same and we shall evaluate both reports." "Thas nonsense, but I'll do it." "I'm to read through all this mess?" "If you can't, entrust a member of your team." "Surely you don't need my advice on this." " Shall I help you?" " No thanks." "Goodbye." "Les have some coffee." "Why spoil every pleasant moment?" "Years spent at home having children would ruin my career." "I'd look after the boy myself." "I'd come home from surgery and do nothing but change his nappies." "How do you know it would be a boy?" "I'd look after a girl too, come to that." "If every woman used these arguments, we'd die out." "Come and eat." " What?" " Food!" "The first sensible word today." "You won't make a home- body of me." "You'd like to tie me to stove and child." "No way." "Thas what I would like." "I get more housework done in" "This is the pilos cabin in an atomic submarine." "Only the catapuls missing to shoot me out of here." " Whas this, put it away." " Don't, I'll do it myself." " Dig in." " Right." " I can't stand that you know!" " It needs salt." "Do you still think, we suit each other?" "No." "Packet soups save the cook's time." "They are appetizing and fast to prepare..." "Polythene udders." "Can't you switch it off?" "Do we have to watch?" "Slide down the sun- rays into a long shot of the hall," " now a little to the right." " Don't push." "Now downwards fast..." "Got it?" "Okay." "Now over the ingots turn her left..." "Thas it." "No, stop!" "Why did you stop us?" " She waved into the camera." " Something pleasing at last" " and you stop." " Back to the beginning." "Go!" "Off you go..." "Take these two and down..." "Close in, now retreat..." "Don't look into the camera, please." "Now to the right at those two." "And follow on..." "Stop!" "Thas not it." "You're like dead herrings, girls." " Lean down, point to the text..." " The idiot." "Correct an error or something, to take it well, interesting, see?" " Now girls, concentrate..." " Hello." " I'm the cameraman of this film." " I'm Veronika." "I wish you'd tell us something." "Why?" "Millions will see the film and it could help you in some way." "What would I say?" "Tell us about your plans, your goals or something." "Where's the camera?" "Okay." "Tidy up a bit, we'll be with you in a jiffy." "Cybernetics, the future of mankind." "The future labourer is the operator." "Computers will help remove all the negative factors in the development of civilization, like air pollution etc." "Computers and robots will aid the preservation of mankind." "That was great, Sir." "I call it out of the frying pan into the fire." "We'd like to ask a Youth Union girl about her future plans." " Could you suggest a girl?" " I have one." "I have a better one." "Tereza Horka, programmer." " Where do I find her?" " Come with me." "Is no big deal, just a few words." "Don't be scared, just a few words." "Are you shy or what?" "Tell them you have a clear aim in view." "They want to hear just that." "Or say you want to live in harmony with the technical revolution." " Bite down." "No problem?" " No." "Fine, thall be all." "Thank you, Doctor." "Written me a note, have you?" " Don't mention it, Doctor." " I know we look like barbers, white coats and all, but a tip's not the thing." "If you baked me a cake, that would be something!" " I sure will, Doctor!" " Bye." " Have you read Don Quijote?" " Too thick for me." " Those mudguards are abloom!" " Abloom?" " Look." " Is that good or bad?" " Are you having me on?" " I don't know a thing about cars." " They have to be changed!" " So I'll go down with my price." " You'll have to." "How about twenty three?" " So is the sill piece." " Twenty two, then?" " Twenty." " Thall be better." " I can't give you more." "You'd be crazy to." "What with the exhaust pipe half off." "I noticed the odd sound." "I think nineteen's a reasonable sum." "Thas fair of you." "Or stupid." "I had a brewery barrel on the Odra, spent all my holidays in it." "Nobody minded." "Then came the notification to remove it." "Did my barrel pollute the environment?" "You asked us last time." "I'll ask away till Kingdom come." "It did not pollute the environment!" "Did you have a toilet inside?" "So you did pollute the environment." "Back to our subject, please." "The landscape will be designed as an industrial product is." "In the architects' studios, like a housing estate." "The sulphur-suffering forests will be replaced by more resilient trees." "Romantic copses will be moved to make way for agricultural production." " When fighting nature experts..." " Yes, at the back there?" "Experts who say that are nut cases!" "What do you mean?" "Can nature be tooled like a lump of iron?" "May I ask your name?" "Never mind my name." "Why fight nature?" "Is she your enemy?" "I'm only quoting scientific experts." "You're like a baby fighting its own mother." "And such a baby needs a spanking." "Besides that barrel I also have a cottage in the Beskydes." "My neighbour's some expert and he's a great guy, so why blame it all on the experts?" "How long a drive to your cottage?" "From my house to the cottage hardly two hours." "Why did you ask?" "During those two hours your car uses the amount of oxygen, an adult needs for his lifetime." "And thas a fact." " I bet you've got no car." " Not any more." "Back to the point, please." "What is your suggestion?" "If you're serious about protecting the environment, we'll have to start walking and scrubbing clothes by hand." "You're mad!" "Have you ever done any washing?" "My mother washed by hand and had more leisure time than my wife has." "And she had no tic like this man, nor were her teeth as bad as yours." "Who has a tic?" "How dare you?" "Back to refuse collecting and the planting of decorative bushes in our factory halls." "I mean factory yards." "Thas what I call a suggestion and not washing by hand." "If I had no car I'd get no breather over the weekend!" "Think a bit, smart- ass." "But for those cars we'd breathe fresh air all week." "Without having to go places." " My, your gums are bleeding!" " Who's a smart-ass?" "See a dentist or you'll lose your teeth." "You go and see a dentist, smart-ass." "I'm not falling for that again." "Take the make-up off and spit out the cotton-wool." "Come here." " What is this?" " Scales!" "We used to weigh grain on it back home." "And a 100 kg pig!" "Whas that junk here for?" " For weighing." " Where are my scales?" "Down in the cellar." "What is this about?" "The scales remind me of home." "You don't feel at home here." "No." "ATTENTION ERROR IN PROGRAM" "I'd like to tell you something, but you'll be furious." "I sold our car." " What did you sell?" " Our car." "We'll walk, somebody has to start." "I sold it for 19,000, not bad." "He didn't want to pay that much, but I squeezed him." "You idiot!" "Go and see a psychiatrist." "If you don't like it here, move in with that chum of yours, who's off to Cuba." "You'll come crawling in a few days anyway." "Hello." "Whas up?" " Hello Gran, where's Dad?" " What do you care about Gran." "What are you doing, Dad?" "Exercises..." " And I'm starting on a diet." " But why?" "Is not very nice to have people point at this..." "Meaning who?" " My fellow workers." " Mrs. Kucharova, right?" " Come on..." " You aren't serious about her?" " The fool rolls on the floor!" " Doing his exercises." "He's crazy." "You forgot something." "My violin, thanks." "I learnt as a boy, and now I'm trying again." "Didn't you have gas at home?" "We had our baths in the trough." "Is hot now." "Thank you." "Whas the matter?" "I feel a bit odd." "How odd?" "Sad." "Can I do anything for you?" "Computers are basic tools for the development of society." "In the plants robots increase productivity, liberate Man from exhausting jobs so he can develop his creative forces." "The manager of the computer centre will tell us a few words." "Cybernetics are the future of mankind, the labourer of the future is the operator." "Computers will help remove all the negative phenomena in the development of civilization, nature devastation, pollution etc." "Computers will help save mankind." "Let us introduce Tereza Horka, Mrs. Burda's programmer assistant." "She is working on automatic numeric control programs commands for process feedback." " So you are a programmer?" " Yes." "Tell us about your life, how have you programmed that?" " An answer in one sentence?" " That would be nice." "I'd like to live so as to give joy to myself and others." "Wonderful!" "The things that can be said in one sentence!" "Thank you very much." "We shall hear more about computing technology." "In the television series called "Do Not Fear Computers"." " Well, what do you say, Gran?" " Les hope Tereza marries well." "And you, Karel?" "Karel thinks I should have said," "I want to be like a computer the way my boyfriend is." "The boss won't thank you for your "ode to joy"." " What are you looking for?" " My handbag." "You're wrong, Karel." "Tereza knows what she's doing." "You were great." "Veronika, wait!" "Have you all gone mad?" " Where're you off to now?" " I'm on night-duty." "Now, at night." "Nights are for sleeping not for working." "Are you mad at me because of Mrs. Kucharova?" "No." "Bye." "Is this for Mrs. Burda?" " Messing about in my things?" " Why didn't you give it to her?" " None of your business." " So you kept it from her." " I'll give it to her myself!" " Hand it back." "Don't be silly." "You're like a kid." "Give it to me." "I can't give it to her on principle." "I have no other way of proving to her, that she set the task all wrong." " You found that in here?" " I know from the start." " I see." " Now I have proof!" "So the NC line wouldn't run according to our program?" "It would take 6 months for her to tune it up." "Why don't you ask the boss to stop it?" " Me?" " You'd let 15 people work in vain?" "You are a kid, Tereza." "Is a matter of tactics." "Just leave it to me." "What is it?" "Promise not to do anything wrong." "What they'd throw me out for today, they'll thank me for tomorrow." " At last." " We can hear this in our flat!" "Why do you think I've been at it?" " I've come to tell you off." " Come in, then." "You can't tell me off in the passage." "I liked what you said on TV, about joy." "Do you know the one about the pupil calling teacher Johnny?" "Do you like jokes?" "The teacher said don't call me Johnny, write it out a hundred times." "He wrote it out two hundred times." "Why 200 times, when I only said 100 times?" "The boy answered:" "To make you happy, Johnny." "Not bad, huh?" "Have some." "We both need it." "Ricany near Prague." "There..." " Did I sleep?" " Like a log." " Whas the time?" " Only 6.45." "Where were you?" "I sat here finishing the bottle and then watched you all night." "For me?" " Why?" " Is October 15th, Tereza's day." "You don't mind, my having slept at his place?" "Stop it, not here." "Come over there." "Excuse me." "The boss liked it awfully." "Yes, a great success." "Aren't you glad?" " Do you know what?" " What?" "Is my name-day." "Sorry!" "So les celebrate." "Come away for the weekend." " Good morning." " Hello, Tereza." "Thas for the TV performance." " From the Director." " Thanks." "But I got a prettier one today." "Who from, Karel?" "No, from our new neighbour." "First thing in the morning?" "Yes, he's great." "You'd better watch it, he may be married." "Hello." " What are you doing here?" " A bit of cycling." "And you?" "A bit of jogging, for fun." "Surely not." "You don't do things just for fun." " Thas where I live." " I know." " With an Arab." " Sharing a flat?" " Sharing." " You, with your degree?" "Me, with my degree." " Where do we meet, then?" " What?" "Aren't we spending the weekend together?" "You and me?" " You nearly fell for it!" " Nearly." "I was only testing you, see?" " How did I do?" " Not quite an A." "Hope you do better on Friday!" "Why are you surprised?" "I'm making myself at home for our weekend!" "Not this one, is the Arab's." "You mean to move it?" "You're bad, Gran, aren't you?" "I'll stay home for the weekend." "Oh no, go." "Where is Karel, anyway?" "I don't know." "I'm in love!" "Are you?" "You know what?" "Shut your eyes." "Why?" "Shut your eyes." "Why?" "Don't cheat." "I see you!" "I see you." "Now." "She's got a hold on me." "I'm at war with the Burda woman and she knows my secret weapon." "If she blabbed I'm done for." "Tereza would never do that." "Jealousy makes one do things." "If I envy Tereza anything, is you." "You're going away?" "To see Petr." "Petr?" "He's not just my chum." "I want to go and end it." "We were to spend the weekend together and is only Saturday." "Have the lighter as a keepsake." "But Tereza knows it, mind!" "Hello." "Are you going away?" "Actually, I'm not." "You're dressed as if to go." "Why didn't you tell me Mrs. Burda is your wife?" "She is my wife, but we're taking a 6 months' rest." " Where are you going?" " I'm off to the Next World, would you like to come with me?" "Where?" "Aren't you overdoing it?" "C'mon, don't give up." "Now!" "Shoot!" "Karel is only happy, when he comes first." "The only time I was first, was when the orchard- keeper chased us." "The first to be caught!" "Ah, these hills." " What are you carrying?" " My ancestors' weights." "Weights?" " Can I look?" " You may." "Call this weights?" "Is rum!" "Thas tea with rum." "Want a drink?" " So these are the weights." " I told you so." "Here, there's a bug in it." " Why drag it up here?" " My sister collects them." " Did you break my telescope?" " No." " They're going to be very valuable." " Sure." "When you've collected a wagon-load, take it to the scrap-yard." "What a nice dog." "I like him too." "Does he bite?" "Who is she?" "You're not going with her?" " Sure, six kilometers we've done." " Does Blanka know?" "Do you know what she calls her?" "A miracle." "Seriously." " We'll be getting married." " I believe you." "The joke is she doesn't know yet." "Don't tell her then or she'll run!" "Surely you don't believe the joker." "Look at him." "He never could make out with girls." "Chin up." "We lift anchor after the cake." "Uncle, come here!" "Hi, squirt!" "How're you doing at school?" " Fine, only two C's." " Great!" "I think so too." " Whall you be when you grow up?" " A dentist of course." "And why?" "Because they make a packet." "Whas wrong?" "Thanks." "Do you put allspice into your cake?" " Thas not spice, is shot." " You rascal!" "You rebel!" "What an idea?" "Where did you get the shot?" " We've got a shotgun." " We go shooting birds together." " Because they shit on our car." " Jirka!" " We'll finish and we'll be off." " But why, do stay?" "Look, we wanted to talk to you." "Is about our cottage." "You never go there, do you?" " Not much since Auntie's there..." " Auntie's getting on and Venda promised to take her to live with them." " And we thought we'd buy you out." " What?" "How's Blanka doing?" " We only see her at funerals now." " And there's even more of them." "Don't you want to pee?" " No." " Pity." " The new aunt doesn't want to pee either?" " No." "Jirka, Tereza's no new aunt, she's only Bohous's chum, see?" "Your uncle's wife is at home." "I thought I'd visit my sister more often, have things as they used to be, but I guess there's no way." "Look." "Focus it for your eye." "This place is called the Next World." "What happened?" " Must have been the buzzard." " Do something." "Nothing we can do, but make soup." " Hold it." " You're bloodstained." "Would you hold it?" "Come in." "Right, come in." "I'd like it here." "For how long, though?" "Till I die." "Mind I don't take you at your word." "Not bad." "It was Grandpa's." "Whas wrong?" "There's a goat asleep in bed." "Is not asleep, is dead." "My aunt put it in bed for the meat to mature." "Thas normal, here." "We used to have a bigger pig." "Here there used to be a bench to sit on." "When it was maybeetle year, do you know what that is?" "Once in about four years they used to fly like mad, and as this wall was blue they'd hit it, thinking is the sky." " And we'd feed them to the ducks." " And the antlers?" "The antlers were a gift to mum from Aplt the forester." "He really liked her." "And dad knew, and he'd say:" "Aplt, you want to put horns on me!" "And did he?" "I don't think so, but he did so want to." "On that slope we skied as boys." "On skis made of barrel-planks." "Look, I'm not that old." "We have modern skis with Kandahar fittings." "Whas that?" "I give up." "She doesn't." " Doesn't what?" " Doesn't love me." "Yes, she does." "I just can't sell the place." "What do you think?" "I'd like to come back." " Where've you been?" " And where have you been?" "Are the folks home?" "Your Daïs gone for an ambulance." "Your Granny is bad." "Granny!" " My Grandmother." " Your Grandmother?" "Good afternoon." "For such an old person is really a relief." "Good morning." "Can you explain this?" "We went on an outing together." "An outing." "Was it okay?" "Okay." "Whas the mood like below decks?" "Lll be starting in a minute." "Aren't you agog to see me hit out at your fiancé?" " Come on!" " Why take all the staff along?" "Don't under- estimate our staff." "You could be sorry tonight!" " Is a matter of principle..." " Shove off." "Wait!" "If you mess things up for me..." "They wouldn't believe you." " They'd think is just jealousy." " Jealousy." "What do you mean?" "Do you smoke?" "No why?" "Oh, I see!" "The NC-line trial run is to begin in the New Year." "I think there's no obstacle." "I thus consider the analytical part of our project as finished." "I don't." "I happened to come upon the dissertation by Scherbakoff," "assistant to Professor Shmyglovski in Moscow." "It transpires we have been working in vain for three months." "On something long solved!" "And we worked on an erroneous basis." "Mrs. Burda's method was antiquated if not erroneous." "Our project for production control would never work." " But you knew all that!" " Let me finish." "Since when do you have this dissertation?" "Unfortunately only since last week." "Or I'd have saved us months of work." "Now we must start all over." "Thanks." "And I broke up my marriage." "What for?" "I have a message for you." "Your husband called." "You are to come and see him tonight." "Hi, kitten." " Hi, number one." " I'd like to celebrate tonight." " How about you?" " Me too." " But Petr's waiting for me." " Who?" "Petr of course." "We're getting married next week." "By the way, can I have my lighter?" "Is a gift from Petr." "You are one smart lady." "The lighter." "So les see your tooth, chum." "We'll see how a psychiatrist behaves in the torture-chamber." " Scared?" " Of course I am." "Thas why I came to a friend." "What if your friend came to you?" " You've got problems too?" " Open your mouth." "I suffer from the fixed idea, that mankind is hurtling to destruction." " What?" " It is." "Just read the papers." "What happens when we run out of electricity, petrol..." "All this tartar, damn it." "And butan..." "Thas it." "Sure it could happen." "Every town'd look like after a nuclear explosion." "Open your mouth, please." "There won't even be any horses to deliver food." "Now stop talking." "Open up wider!" "When it starts hurting, lift your hand and I'll stop." "I refuse to come to terms with that." "What?" "My hanïs up and you're drilling on, idiot." "I can't see this hand!" "Swill your mouth." "What do you mean to do?" "I don't know yet." "If you want a sedative I've got some good stuff." "I pecked at them before I came here." " Did they help?" " No." "Some Fletcher, nurse." "Mankind will never learn from history." "We've had it all before." "Ancient Egypt had an energy crisis." "They felled their forests and couldn't make copper without any fuel." "Swill." "Man alive, I thought it was painless these days." "Civilization's not worth a shit." "What?" "Shit." "High time, too, my poor lungs." "Come in." "Do sit down." "Excuse me." "I'm writing a letter to my sister, about the cottage." "I've decided not to sell it, but to buy it." "How about buying it together?" "You and I?" "The farming co-op have a computer centre, and I, as dentist, will get a job anywhere." "Think about it." "Well?" "I made it myself." "I can make a ladies' set too." "Well?" "Your wife will be fetching you home tonight." "My wife?" "I gave her your message." " But I didn't send her any message." " But I gave it to her." "Well, thanks a lot." "She needs you now." "You can do sausages?" "Sausages?" "How about a table-cloth?" "Throw it at me." "Hello, Dad." "Bozenka, this is my daughter." "Hello." "Don't be scared." "What a fuss." "Here we are." "Keep still, Miluska." "A good buy." "So, we got a pig..." " There's Tereza, stop!" " I can't here." "How are you?" "I hear you've moved to a hostel!" "I was glad to get a room." "And Karel?" "He's going to Brussels for a month." "You made a mistake, breaking up with him." "It isn't your fault." "Spend a weekend with us!" " Petr's bought a fantastic mill." " Super." "It can sleep ten!" "We'll relax and talk." "I see you're content." "Touch wood." " I'll be off, I've got a date." " Bye." "Goodbye." "He's gone completely crazy." "Instead of an easy job at a clinic he tours the villages and keeps a pig." "Isn't that great?" "For who?" "To have milk for the pig, he bought a goat." "That was it." " Did you find her in bed?" " Whom?" "The goat." "No way." "Imagine, he made me wash by hand." "Luckily the trough had no plug." "So we're divorced." "What?" "Yes." "He always was a bit mad, but lately he's gone overboard." "Thanks." "Do you know the Co-op VS system?" "Is interesting work." "But I'd like to research again." "The boss has no opening free, though." "Thas why I called you." "Goodbye." "Sit down." "Why do you let them in, nurse?" "Is our coffee break." "She pushed right in." "Good morning, Doctor." "Nothing we can do about it, Doctor." "The old must make way for the new." "A lovely new highway for us next year!" "Don't cry, Tereza." "We want a happy baby." "Quiet, Bohous!" "You'll scream yourself blue." " What are you up to now?" " A lovely messy forest." "Bohous'll be a forester." "So let him grow used to it."
