"Children, before you hand in your drawings, be sure to sign your name." "But I still don't know where I'm going on holiday!" "Vasek, what did you spend an hour drawing?" "Where are you going with your dad and mom?" "Their honeymoon!" "Why did you agree to such nonsense?" "Going on holiday and not knowing where!" "What if you forget something you need?" "You know what?" "I'll take everything and still need more!" "Lubos didn't write tell you at all where you're going?" "At least you'd have an idea!" "I have an idea!" "I'll lie down on the grass and just sleep." "Whatever Lubos Vaclav enjoys!" "Sleep, you call it?" "And for this you need a new wardrobe?" "That's not all!" "I decided I'll be partying something awful!" "No shopping, no cooking, no cleaning!" "I may not even enter the kitchen to look around!" "~ Oh, you're going to Bermuda?" "~ Besides, I deserve a bit of a rest!" "All year I only know the ballet hall, a carousel of cliffhangers at home and on stage!" "I want to live at last, too!" "~ Isn't it perfect?" "~ Sure it is!" "Perfect for a mountain tour!" "~ What kind of tour?" "~ Pull yourself together!" "Have you explored the mountains!" "This year, you're together again after meeting in the mountains nine years ago!" "Are you saying that Lubos is something of a snowman?" "He's not!" "~ It's still spring in Prague!" "~ It was!" "He was preparing an expedition to the Alps!" "~ And you'll be somewhere below the glacier!" "~ So what?" "Anna, you know you have a child with a chief of mountain rescue?" "But otherwise, Lubos is normal!" "Counting the fact that you're going to sit and take the train to the mountains?" "Definitely not!" "We wrote to him three times insisting that we don't go to the mountains!" "I don't want to risk Vasek turning into a climber!" "~ I could have a little chat with Vasek!" "~ Absolutely not!" "Do you even understand the situation you're in?" "Starting to live with a man after eight years isn't easy." "And you should grab him while you can!" "First I'll get to know Lubos!" "Then I'll think about the wedding!" "What about Vasek?" "The marriage'll have to be by the end holidays, before he goes back to school!" "~ I've had my fun!" "Now I have to decide!" "~ Decide?" "You're twenty-eight, you have an eight-year-old son, and he wants you to marry his father!" "What's to decide?" "Whether you're in love with him?" "That hardly matters, but I need to know if he's reliable!" "Mom, why such a big suitcase?" "And where did you put those old pants?" "Colombo, that case is for your clean clothes!" "~ Why should you take those old pants?" "~ To be able to climb the mountains." "~ Your father wrote?" "~ No!" "That's why I came alone!" "~ What did he write you in the last letter?" "~ That's a secret!" "~ A great adventure awaits us!" "~ Good!" "Now go wash!" "~ We never go anywhere!" "~ Aren't you being silly?" "~ But I can't sleep!" "Close your eyes and it'll seem to you that our holiday begins tomorrow!" "~ That we're all together!" "~ Wake up..." "~ Dad's coming!" "~ Yeah!" "But I won't expect him in the morning!" "Thiat was the best performance of the season!" "I know!" "Because it was the last!" "Bozenka, did I leave the towel lying there?" "It's by the mirror or on the couch!" "This is a nice welcome!" "Haven't I imagined this moment a hundred times a day?" "!" "I had no idea you had such a nice scream!" "~ Why are there are seven beds?" "~ Seven climbers!" "~ Where are they?" "~ Six on the train, and the seventh in the bathroom!" "~ You could shower at home!" "~ Vasek can't wait to see you!" "~ And you can?" "Me?" "What about me?" "I'll wait for you outside!" "There's a bathroom!" "You look like you did when you were seventeen!" "Back then, I was nineteen and three months." "Don't stare at me!" "Finish up!" "I want to be out of here before the climbers get back." "~ Relax, the boys won't be here until the morning!" "~ How is it that you're here?" "~ Please don't mention it to Vasek!" "He'd be heartbroken." "~ Wait!" "That's why you came early, to tell us you can't go on holiday with us?" "No!" "I thought this night could be more than just the start of a holiday." "Dad!" "Dad's here!" "Three, two, one!" "~ Mom's asleep?" "~ Like a log, but we'll get her up." "~ Leave that to me!" "~ What's the surprise?" "~ At the front of the house." "~ Are you packed?" "~ I have a backpack." "~ And Mom?" "~ She has a suitcase." "~ And your climbing gear?" "Do you have that?" "~ Yeah, but don't tell Mom!" "~ Do I have to go home?" "~ No, but you have to get up." "~ What time is it?" "~ Past seven." "~ How did I get home?" "~ Don't you remember anything?" "There!" "And for me the three hours were like an eternity without you!" "Quiet!" "Vasek could wake up." "~ Mom, Mom, I got a new bike." "~ Maybe you deserved it." "~ You were too kind." "~ Why?" "~ I got a new bike." "~ A bike?" "What for?" "~ No regrets." "~ That's what dad says." "The idea is to have a bike for our vacation?" "Can we take it on the train?" "~ No, the train only ships boxes." "~ Ship stuff!" "~ What about us?" "~ We'll go by bike." "~ Bikes, great!" "~ Didn't I tell you?" "~ No!" "Such a foolish thing to try!" "You can't get me on a bike!" "Will there be a wilderness?" "~ There'll be a wilderness paradise for you and your mom." "~ I'm curious." "~ We'll travel tomorrow and be there by evening." "~ Are you serious?" "I sense an adventure lurking here, to the Himalayas or Africa." "~ Adventure lurks everywhere there's human blood!" "~ I have that!" "~ Me, too!" "~ This means Mom's not going to Africa or Asia." "~ She's getting a good night's sleep." "That's fine with me!" "People sometimes think the farther away from home you are, the greater the experience." "~ But the greatest wonders of nature lie close by." "~ Maybe a boar!" "~ Maybe." "Being able to look around is the secret of an adventurer!" "~ Tomorrow I'll get a hotel and just crawl into the tub!" "~ Not a hotel!" "I hope there'll be a bathroom, anyway!" "I hope at least I'll still have a tent to sleep in?" "Don't fret!" "You'll have a room that'll knock your eyes out!" "I give up!" "Put up the tent!" "~ I can't!" "The rules prohibit camping here!" "~ What do you mean?" "~ Are we going to spend the night in a tree?" "~ Do you see that light?" "~ Do you think they'll let us sleep there?" "~ I'll go check it out!" "I don't like knocking on strangers' doors." "Go with the flow!" "Hello!" "Hello!" "Colombo here!" "Where are you?" "Help me, I can't get out!" "~ What are you doing?" "~ Lubos, hello!" "~ Hey, Dad!" "Folks, Krkonos Mountain has fallen!" "Our boy found his way home!" "I came to show off my bride!" "Bride?" "So then, welcome to our home!" "Beník, he'll probably be my grandfather!" "Make yourself at home...here's the living room and here's the kitchen!" "As you can see, here you'll find everything you need!" "This was my kingdom!" "Now it'll be yours!" "A practical dresser..." "For the second bed, I'll jump into the barn!" "A perfect closet!" "This is the room that'll make my eyes bug out?" "~ You don't like it?" "~ It's crazy!" "I need to let my enthusiasm recover!" "I just spent two days on a bike!" "In the tent, ants were crawling all over me, and now this?" "This is your idea of paradise?" "Everything's yet to come!" "The two of us will be alone here!" "~ Can't you ever think of anything else?" "~ Right now I just can't think at all!" "It's going to be a great holiday!" "~ Why doesn't it heat the water?" "~ Don't stretch stove!" "~ Stretched how?" "~ The chimney's crooked!" "~ Why is it crooked?" "~ It can handle the water for one bath!" "~ Vasek, where are you?" "Into the house!" "~ Vasek'll bathe in this tub?" "~ You call this a tub?" "~ Here we get rinsed under the pump." "~ The Middle Ages." "~ What do you mean?" "~ That you haven't learned anything since the Middle Ages." "~ Grandpa, look what I found in the loft!" "~ I'm not your grandfather!" "~ Check out these muscles!" "~ Wow, you've got great muscles, Grandpa!" "Listen, a boy from the city doesn't call me Grandpa!" "~ Why shouldn't call you that, Grandpa?" "~ And you're a stranger?" "I'm yours!" "I sure knew how to choose, didn't I?" "~ Greater treasure to the cottage you could bring me!" "~ Don't say that!" "~ Anna has a quick temper!" "~ Keep your compliments and drown!" "I have to find a stove." "~ What do you mean by grandpa?" "~ Lubos is my dad." "His mom is my bride." "No!" "My mom is his bride." "~ Shut your mouth and be quiet!" "~ So you've got to be my grandfather." "You see?" "~ I'll be like your granddad." "~ Not like." "You're already my real granddad!" "~ Shut your mouth and be quiet!" "~ Do you understand?" "~ No!" "Does it really matter, Grandpa?" "Mainly, you're glad that you got me." "I didn't wish for a grandson, but a man." "No, not a baby!" "~ I'm not a baby." "~ You are, too!" "Stuffed!" "Vasek!" "You're not a baby!" "Jesus Christ!" "What a man!" "Lubos, he's a great guy!" "Lubos, look at the guy!" "Dad, stop it!" "What are you doing?" "This isn't a grandfather, it's Herod!" "Anna, dear, the moon is full!" "It will be a beautiful summer night!" "Here I am!" "I saved you a place in bed!" "You're a good boy!" "~ Don't wake my mom!" "~ Why aren't you asleep?" "~ I knew you'd come to me!" "Just sleep, OK?" "Daddy, when I'm thinking about something, I find it hard to sleep!" "You, too?" "~ What are you thinking about now?" "~ How to be a climber, when there aren't any mountains." "~ Wait until morning!" "~ Are there some mountains around?" "~ You'll see!" "~ We'll start training in the morning?" "~ Maybe now!" "~ Really?" "~ The correct mountaineer position now is to lie down and go to sleep." "~ It's not possible." "If so, the best climber in the world would be our mom!" "~ So, the dragon loop!" "Now you!" "~ There once was a princess." "She went to the pond, but a sprite emerged and pulled her under." "It looked like the back of a water sprite, but it was the dragon!" "That is why it's called a dragon loop." "The knot should bind on the left." "Now, not outwards." "Come on down!" "Home!" "~ Is it time for breakfast?" "~ We'll go after breakfast." "~ Where are we going?" "~ Come on!" "~ To the train station!" "You've got another suitcase?" "Your shipment arrived this morning?" "Is that kid making a fool out of me?" "I'm sure you're both fools." "He's all yours." "~ I told you what to do and you do the exact opposite!" "~ These aren't mountains." "No?" "I don't want to go to Krkonos Mountain and here I am by a rock at the cottage." "The most beautiful place is where we born!" "If you don't like..." "Well, I was born elsewhere." "I survived the room, grandpa!" "But the boy will not be a climber!" "I don't want to worry about a rock killing him." "We're leaving!" "We can't, Mom!" "Dad told grandpa we'd be here for half the holidays!" "From now on, what I say goes!" "No, Mom!" "Grandpa let me stay here!" "I'm friends with grandpa now." "I always wanted a grandpa." "Mommy!" "~ For half the holidays?" "~ It doesn't matter, seeing how you are." "Listen, you two!" "You can do what you want on the land lower than the cottage." "But if I catch you on a rock, I'll be furious!" "I'm serious!" "~ Otherwise, it's over between us." "Deal?" "~ Depend on me!" "~ Not me!" "~ Well, we're leaving!" "~ No!" "All right, you can count on me!" "~ Look, rocks." "~ Pedal!" "~ There's a rock!" "~ Come on!" "There, too!" "~ Don't look and pick it up!" "~ Here's the same rock." "Speed up!" "Dad, wait!" "Just on the rock, then we'll go!" "Don't!" "Are you trying to get me in trouble?" "Dad, I'm made for the rocks!" "~ Strength, intellect, agility, that's me." "~ But we promised." "But only about the rock by the pond." "About the other rocks, we didn't promise." "Mom doesn't know the shortcut to the village." "You said that a good climber must overcome each obstacle." "~ Do you doubt me?" "~ But our barrier is Mom." "I meant struggling against nature, not against your mom." "~ To have the joy of victory." "~ So I'm sure you'll have fun!" "Overcoming mom, that's tougher than the 8,000 meter climb." "~ Where are you going with that jalopy?" "~ To the dispensary." "It's my turn to show up with old Mána." "~ It's time for the veterans' parade again?" "~ Yeah!" "And Mána must win!" "~ It'll be enough if it charms like last year." "~ What did it win last year?" "~ The prize!" "~ What?" "The very last place!" "~ Watch out here, it's bumpy!" "~ Don't worry!" "~ Why is the rock called the Dragon's Tooth?" "~ To scare us." "I'm not scared of the Tooth, but I'm scared of Mom." "Otherwise I would have climbed it." "Do you know what you want from me?" "What apology?" "Do you know how much uncertainty I had, since I had no father like other boys?" "~ I have an idea!" "~ I know!" "We'll give mom the silent treatment until she gives in!" "~ No!" "~ I'll try to get her to lift the ban." "~ Will you do it?" "I'll do what I can!" "But you must leave your mother alone!" "You can count on me!" "Vasek!" "Vasek, Lubos!" "~ Where are the boys?" "~ They went shopping!" "~ They're still not back yet?" "~ They went back." "They forgot bread and their backpack!" "God knows what to think!" "If they took a shortcut, I'll be waiting for them with dinner." "The shortcut will take about three hours." "There's something funny going on here." "~ Where are the potatoes?" "They were here." "~ Weren't those moldy?" "~ I threw them away." "~ We'll have to get some more, Pepa!" "~ What's this?" "~ It's Pepa." "~ I scrubbed the entire house." "~ Vasek likes wild boars." "I annoyed three of the chairpersons before I got this winner." "~ A black pig is rare." "~ Mom, can't you see it!" "?" "I have three guys around my neck and I have to worry about a pig!" "He said Bermuda!" "So this woman had such a poor childhood." "You should certainly not begrudge him." "You don't know what he wants his soul." "I know!" "He'd like chimpanzees to swing on the chandelier in the bedroom." "I wanted to breed whales when I was his age." "That hardly surprises me." "What he didn't inherit from his father you still have!" "Has either one of you ever washed the floor?" "So you didn't have to!" "You're single mother, I don't mind." "Who you got the baby with, I'm not interested." "I'll quietly play grandfather." "But in this cottage, what the man says matters!" "And that man is me." "Anna!" "Anna!" "Anna!" "Annie!" "Honey!" "I have an idea!" "~ Where did you come by that?" "~ You see that pine!" "Meet me there in ten minutes." "~ Am I playing hide and seek with you all?" "~ No, just me." "Vasek's in the woods with grandpa getting beechnuts!" "Do you understand?" "~ No!" "~ I sent them away." "~ Are you asking me on a date?" "Honey, don't be surprised." "I'm a world beater at 2 kilometers." "~ But I have muffins on the stove." "~ You know what I think?" "You know what I think?" "About getting something to eat!" "No, not here!" "~ Mom, help!" "Mom!" "~ This isn't Colombo, it's Juantorena." "Not this way!" "It'll track in dirt from the barn." "~ What did I promise you?" "~ That you'd talk my mom into it." "~ What were you thinking?" "~ That I'd been lost in the woods." "~ Grandpa, can we borrow Pepa?" "~ Why, for playing?" "~ No, to hunt wild boar." "It would be the highlight of the whole holiday." "~ Do you know how to go about it?" "~ No!" "Grandpa has a plan." "I'm glad Pepa's tame." "~ Where are you, ants?" "~ Grandpa, how would you do it?" "I have three working tools:... a trained body, an obsession to test everything in the world, and strong nerves." "~ I can see that!" "~ You're a climber?" "Why are all the climbers looking at me?" "I'm a roofer." "So that rope in the loft's yours?" "Come here, Detective, and tell me why is Lubos still running after your mom?" "Dad's persuading Mom." "Today we definitely have to go out." "You'd could come to the pond!" "~ I have to wait until Vasek falls asleep." "~ He'll drop off soon, he's pretty tired." "~ Where did you get the sugar?" "~ In the shop." "There are goods in that anthill?" "Maybe next time I'll go there with you." "~ Shut your mouth and come to bed quickly." "~ Not to bed!" "~ Can't you hear me?" "Not another word, let's go!" "~ Mom!" "When Anna discovers that you climb on the rocks with the kid, you wouldn't be here an hour." "~ It would upset you?" "~ No, but what if you take the kid?" "We don't have to see him, you know." "If this bothers you, just go to sleep!" "Lubos!" "Lubos!" "~ Lubos, what did Anna do with the whale?" "~ With what whale?" "I thought I brought up a real man." "~ If you knew Anna was expecting your baby, would you accept that?" "~ Of course I would!" "That's what I like!" "Because the guy who does not care about his child... ~ wouldn't get my hand." "~ But I didn't know." "I've had enough!" "~ I can tan your butt!" "~ If you knew how scared I was today." "I could have fallen asleep sooner than Mom, but I resisted." "It's clear now!" "At night you don't have to wait for me." "~ I'm taking this." "~ What?" "~ The sugar!" "~ Why?" "~ To protect it from the ants." "~ What are you thinking?" "~ I'm scared to go shopping with Mom." "Just now that I'm starting to climb well, I don't want it all to come to a screeching halt." "Oh, come on, silly!" "Forget the ants!" "And remember!" "A real man is fearless." "Oh, so you've already talked to Mom?" "I haven't succeeded yet." "Don't be sad!" "I'm sure you'll talk to her." "I believe in you." "What if I left Anna here with Vasek through the holidays?" "~ You don't want to take her with you?" "~ Anna doesn't want to hear about old Krkonos." "~ Since I won't be here." "~ And what does Anna think?" "~ Nothing, she doesn't know about it!" "~ I'm not going to get involved!" "You don't have to, especially when you sleep with Vasek for the night." "You'll be worried in the morning." "~ And when's the wedding?" "~ We're still planning it!" "~ You're so old fashioned." "~ You two are very modern!" "~ You have an eight-year-old child and you're planning a wedding." "~ We knew each other for ten days." "We only met up again this year." "We ran into each other at the ski resort." "~ Suddenly I have an eight-year-old boy." "~ Save this story for Vasek." "I want you to have the boy on paper." "I'll still be adopting my own child." "After all, she sleeps with me!" "She will, but only after the wedding!" "I'll start believing in miracles." "Remember that night in Cinderella?" "~ I liked Cinderella!" "~ You picked the ants out of the sugar?" "Why?" "~ So you wouldn't go shopping with us." "~ Why shouldn't I go with you?" "~ Vasek thought..." "~ No interpreting, I'll listen to the original." "I thought that you could sleep in the daytime." "You deserve a rest." "~ We've got us a nice boy, don't you think?" "~ Let's go shopping again today, OK, Dad?" "~ We can skip it." "~ What about milk?" "I want milk!" "Do you understand that?" "He's always had a sensitivity to milk." "Listen... ~ can we drink grandpa's fresh milk?" "~ No!" "~ Dad said that good..." "~ Don't strain those hands!" "They must drink a pint of milk a day." "What are you doing listening to this guy?" "You have tremendous influence over him." ""Climbers, climbers, climbers..." ""with three strong pitons." ""He'll fall in the sand of his native village, and we'll see him no more..." ""doo-dah."" "You do remember your promise?" "No rock climbing!" "~ On the rock!" "~ No, on the rocks!" "~ Today we're not going anywhere." "~ We'll help mother by peeling potatoes." "~ No, no potatoes!" "I want milk!" "~ I'll drink it by the liter." "~ What if Vasek goes shopping alone?" "Your father and I could manage, just the two of us." "Anna, you're just great!" "If you like peeling potatoes, I might as well go alone." "It won't work!" "He can't go alone!" "~ No short cuts back to the road." "~ Why not?" "Mom didn't lift the ban, so we get commended." "I like praise, don't you?" "Hey, Mána!" "Out of the way!" "Look out!" "~ Can I look at Mána?" "~ No, I can't stop." "~ What's Mána do at a fire?" "~ No one knows!" "~ Up until yesterday, we climbed the rocks." "~ I thought I could convince Mom." "You have to try harder." "Look at me, I'll never give up." "Before you get angry, think about Mom." "~ Why?" "~ You'll be better off!" "As of yesterday, we were barred the rock by the pond." "~ But this morning we're banned everywhere!" "~ My mom always prohibits something." "She never let me say I was looking for a dad!" "Now she's glad to have you!" "She'll be happy to see that I'm able to do it like you." "~ You know what I see?" "Snakes!" "~ Where?" "~ Next to each other." "I'll check it out." "Now, Vasek, remember what I said." "Three strong pitons!" "Good pitons." "Careful now!" "Hands up!" "Now pick up the loop!" "Hold it in your left hand and with the right grasp the knot." "Good!" "Like that!" "At the bottom it won't work, you've gotten up here." "You've got some slack." "That's right!" "Replace your hands!" "Now rotate around the corner." "Come on!" "Good!" "Dude!" "Lubos, a double fracture!" "His ribs in a cast." "~ Hovorka's in the hospital." "~ Where?" "~ I don't know!" "I can't concentrate!" "~ Here's the info." "Stop!" "~ When?" "~ You can't walk up." "~ What happened, Dad?" "~ Well, buddy, that's the breaks!" "You know what I wish?" "That I could have those eight years back." "~ Vasek didn't like being with me very much." "~ Understandable!" "There's something I want to tell you." "I thought you were irresponsible!" "Now I know that you keep your word." "I still checked at the rock by the pond." "I suspected you unfairly." "~ I'm not saying a thing." "~ Explain how you got back all right... while Vasek and Grandpa were chasing a wild boar?" "Because the only wild boar is our grandpa!" "But when you go shopping, someone always comes back with torn pants!" "~ And you always came back tired." "~ What's wrong with Vasek?" "~ Nothing!" "He fell asleep!" "~ Nothing?" "You say it just like that?" "We've been waiting a long time for this moment." "Are you sure you just want to talk?" "~ You wanted to say something to me." "~ Later!" "This is important!" "~ That's why we only see each other at lunch and dinner." "~ And breakfast." "You think I enjoy sitting when you do all that guy stuff all day." "I'm hardly enjoying myself when I'm on my own." "Damnit!" "How do they do this in other families?" "They must have special training about people." "~ I guess they have a grandpa who keeps office hours." "~ What are you doing, Dad?" "I took a day off, kids!" "I've never done that before." "So much the better!" "Grandpa can go shopping with the kid." "~ And we'll finally have time for ourselves." "~ Mommy!" "Mommy!" "What are you doing?" "Mom, Dad's trying to see how long he can stay under water?" "~ Leave your father alone and go on out!" "~ Grandpa!" "My dad invented a new game, we need a stopwatch!" "When I whistle, leaves begin to fall from the trees." "That's nothing!" "When I whistle, branches begin to crack." "That's nothing at all." "When I whistle, flies drop out of the air!" "~ Well, you win!" "~ Why not me?" "You could come back and maybe we would have died of hunger." "~ Against the enemy we send..." "~ The most reliable!" "~ Be careful not to get captured!" "~ Grandpa, who are we fighting against?" "~ Who's the enemy?" "~ Mom." "~ So mom will be our enemy!" "~ I'm against that!" "~ I'm for!" "I was talking with Kosem." "You'll get married in the village." "I'll write the wedding speech myself." "I'll casually mention Venda and the rocks." "Anna will be thrilled to hear about the wedding speech, it's not necessary... to mention Venda and the rocks." "For the moment, she won't know what's been agreed." "~ And you stick to the wedding, no rocks!" "~ Why do you want all the paperwork?" "You're hardly a stickler for the rules." "Even though we climbed, you never had consent." "My mom freaked, too." "But we were climbing, but now I've got to pack." "You won't stay here even until the end of July?" "What does Anna think?" "~ Nothing!" "~ She still doesn't know anything?" "~ I don't want to ruin her last week." "~ No way!" "You can't leave before the wedding!" "~ Focus on the pigeon loft!" "Have the wedding before you leave!" "Vasek, what are you doing up a tree again?" "Come on, get down!" "~ Who's the gingerbread for?" "~ You'll say you caught me?" "I have to take it." "~ I didn't say you couldn't." "~ Not you!" "Dad and grandpa did!" "They said I couldn't get caught." "We have a new fighting game, and it has strict rules." "~ Take what you'll eat and leave the rest at home!" "~ But they're hungry, too." "~ Why isn't Daddy coming home to eat?" "~ It's a secret!" "Listen!" "~ He wanted to come home, but he's afraid." "~ Afraid?" "Of what?" "That you wouldn't let him go out until after dinner." "Dinner's in the oven." "You can help yourself." "~ And what is it?" "~ Noodles with poppy seeds!" "~ Wow!" "Have you told Anna you're leaving?" "It seems strange, somehow." "~ You told Mom that I like you, didn't you?" "~ You're good, both of you!" "You're giving me tasks, but I've got my worries." "~ If you want, you can all sleep in the kitchen." "~ Since you're getting married!" "Vasek!" "~ What are you doing?" "~ Having a party." "~ Alone?" "~ No, I have company." "Pepa." "Keep an eye out for Vasek." "He took down those clothespins." "Be quiet when you see Vasek, he can't see me." "~ This is the law of optics, darling." "~ He has binoculars." "~ I wonder who gave it to him?" "~ Do you know where?" "~ Around the chimney." "These are silly jokes!" "We're finally alone and you're pouting." "~ Go where you heart leads." "~ If it were up to me, I'd always be with you." "~ I also have my duties." "~ Yes!" "Continuous working time." "If you left grandpa with a boy in the woods, you'd come up with something, right?" "~ Oh no!" "~ Yes!" "Besides, you played with them half the night." "~ Trying to get them sleepy." "But you'd locked the door." "I knocked to get in." "~ At half past eleven!" "~ You were waiting for me?" "If only I had known." "If I had known." "~ What are you doing with that towel?" "~ I'm hot when you're angry at me." "I'm still mad at you." "What are you doing with that?" "Tell me!" "Not here!" "We have to sneak off somewhere." "If you've had enough teasing, go pick someone else." "~ Shall we go higher?" "~ What if we get near your grandfather?" "~ Don't worry!" "~ I don't like saltiness!" "~ Have courage." "~ Why are we watching grandpa there?" "~ I think he wants to play with us." "~ Why can't he go climbing with us?" "After climbing on the roofs throughout the year, he's looking for other entertainment." "Damn!" "Everywhere there's just jam or compôte." "The woman will be making more jam and stuff." "I want to find a mug and I get a compass." "You'd better take a compass into the woods and find a game for two." "I'd be grateful if you'd take the boy and give Lubos a moment with me." "~ I'm working on it." "~ What are you doing?" "~ Looking for a Halloween costume." "~ A Halloween costume." "~ Yeah!" "~ Here we go." "What do you think?" "~ Where did you get that horrible outfit?" "This is a family tradition." "The last time, we scared Lubos." "~ The boy will be thrilled, won't he?" "~ I see it." "I'm terribly frightened." "~ And you say thrilled." "~ Women!" "They never understand." "The boy will have a memory for life." ""Close your eyes, Anna, you authorize the rope..." ""get out a bit to the right, below us is the design,... ~ "Bump, this time it went well..." ~ Slack off!" "Give me some slack." "~ I loosened the rope!" "~ Can you see where it's stuck?" "I see!" "It jammed there at a crack." "~ I'm going up there!" "~ Don't move!" "Don't you dare!" "I'm coming right down." "Daddy!" "Dad!" "Daddy!" "Hold on!" "I'll go for help!" "Help!" "Grandpa!" "~ Don't move, Vasek!" "~ Help!" "~ Get back, Vasek!" "~ Help!" "Help!" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa, help!" "Grandpa!" "~ Dad's hanging on a rock." "~ Which one?" "Dragon's Tooth!" "Mom, help!" "Water Goblin!" "~ What's wrong with dad?" "~ Hanging." "I told you, Grandpa!" "This child of yours got a shock." "Fanda, look out!" "Out of the way!" "What is it?" "A water goblin, and he called me Fanda?" "That guy scared me." "What are you doing?" "No problem, I still had a rock in my hand." "Still, I wish the boy'd listened to me." "Why would he listen?" "You disobey me, too!" "Don't worry!" "Your jokes are stupid!" "Damn!" "Our Mom!" "Anna, honey!" "Where did you come from?" "~ You are nice scammers!" "~ I'm not!" "I'm just a sprite!" "~ This is where you go shopping?" "~ No, we're on our way shopping!" "~ What are you doing here?" "~ Here... ~ This is on the way, Daddy." "~ Yeah!" "It's on the way." "You know..." "What's this, clothesline?" "I forbade you to climb rocks." "You promised!" "~ Don't shout!" "~ What was that?" "I confess, I climbed up." "I wanted to show off in front of the kid." "I'm a conceited idiot!" "What about Vasek?" "Vasek?" "He was watching me." "You expect me to believe that Vasek sat and just watched?" "You should trust me." "He's my child!" "~ With me, nothing will happen to him!" "~ Be reasonable!" "If the boy had been up there, too, he wouldn't have needed any help." "I believe you, Grandpa!" "And when you kill yourself on the rock, I won't care." "Don't be sad, Dad!" "Mom spoke the truth." "~ Do you think she would shed a tear for me?" "~ A whole stream." "Absolutely!" "I wonder how Anna now shall flow with you to the altar?" "Have you told her that you're leaving in the middle of the summer?" "Lubos!" "Don't worry, I'll work it all out!" "Be careful, everyone." "What do you see here?" "~ This is a general plan of attack." "~ What are we attacking?" "Leave the cakes alone, or there won't be any for dinner." "Do you think I'm going to eat what they cook?" "~ Grandpa, listen to what the chief says." "~ Grandpa is to go north." "Around the Stone Snake cross to the Dancer." "Your mother will go to the south, along the creek upstream." "Vasek will follow the footsteps of grandfather and I'll track Mom." "~ My dad has just the best games!" "~ Around three, we'll meet here!" "And we then come back home together." "In the evening we'll have scoring, prizes." "For stamina and the like!" "What if mom gets lost?" "It'll be best if the three of us all track her." "Colombo, you're going north!" "I can do it myself!" "Oh!" "I understand!" "~ What are you doing?" "Did you slice the cucumbers?" "~ My muffins." "Just you dude, you just don't give up!" "You're all mine!" "Don't tell me!" "I understand about your shopping and the ants." "Vasek followed you on the rocks every day!" "He gave you away." "~ So Vasek could watch." "~ Hardly a big sacrifice." "After all, you climbed on the rocks for your pleasure, in this heat?" "I feel guilty about what I did, but also for what I didn't do." "I can never give back to Vasek what I owe him!" "Eight years of life." "In August, I'd go anywhere with you." "Even on a bicycle to Krkonos Mountain." "~ I'd rather stay here with Grandpa." "~ The wedding could be here on Tuesday!" "It doesn't matter where the wedding is." "It matters!" "Grandpa and the kid should be happy!" "Today's Sunday, I'll write a letter to my mother on Monday." "I'll have it off by noon." "~ Friday, and the wedding can be on Saturday." "~ Not sooner?" "~ Why?" "~ There's something you don't know." "I'll explain all this!" "Don't say anything now!" "Grandpa, this is no game!" "Dad shouldn't give Mom any hints at all." "None, but he's carrying her." "So let them!" "In the evening we'll deduct points." "You broke the route." "You should be at the crossroads, not the cemetery." "Don't grumble, here's where grandma rests." "Too bad she didn't live with luck." "What luck?" "You have some luck, Grandpa?" "Hiding?" "Right?" "~ Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "~ You see, I'm happy!" "The boy's pulling such a stunt." "He probably is really ours!" "Now I don't know what to think." "~ Repeat, Colombo went to the North." "~ Colombo went to the North." "Somebody's breathing here." "~ Don't turn around!" "This isn't Colombo." "~ It's Pepa." "~ It's not Pepa." "It's a wild boar!" "Too bad it's not Venda." "~ Mom, we'll be walking to the wedding?" "~ So what?" "You'd rather we had to ride a bike?" "~ That's not a bad idea!" "~ I'll do even better!" "I'll get you a great ride!" "~ Grandpa, hell no!" "~ For Mána it'll be a great honor." "How's this?" "I've got a better idea!" "~ But I don't know just what kind yet." "~ I'm relieved." "~ Lubos, save it for the wedding!" "~ But this left us just a few steps away from the top!" "~ There!" "And my dad won't try?" "~ Careful!" "Otherwise he'll carry you off to the pen with Pepa!" "And I warn you one last time!" "Grandpa!" "Have you seen the guys?" "They went shopping in the morning but never even went to the store." "~ I've got a letter for my mother." "~ How did you find your way to the village?" "~ The road." "There were ants in the sugar again." "~ You know what?" "There's the mail box, the sugar, so go on home." "~ What about the guys?" "~ We'll handle this alone." "Mána's crew wishes good health to the bride." "~ I brought Voves." "~ Wolf, the head of the pigs' nursery." "We're here to be witnesses." "Kos, our president." "~ Tomorrow I dress in black." "~ Why black?" "~ There's a wedding, right?" "~ Tomorrow?" "~ It's Tuesday, right?" "~ Sure, it's Tuesday!" "~ You're having a wedding." "~ But the wedding will be on Saturday." "~ On Saturday, no!" "~ On Saturday, definitely not." "~ Why not?" "~ Lubos didn't tell you?" "The whole village knows." "~ What?" "~ He's leaving Wednesday." "~ Who?" "~ Lubos, of course!" "~ The day after tomorrow?" "~ Yeah, at noon." "~ At noon he definitely's going away." "~ Where?" "~ Mountaineers are having an exercise." "~ In the Carpathians." "He also said that there'll also be Poles, Germans, and Soviets." "~ And Romanians." "~ Romanians, too, that's for sure!" "~ How long will he be there, did he say?" "~ They say until the end of the holidays." "~ He'll be back in September." "~ Leave it, she doesn't know what's going on!" "I guess I've spoken out of turn." "Do you know about a mountaineering exercise?" "~ Grandpa!" "~ He didn't tell you?" "I'll tear him to pieces!" "~ What happened here?" "~ Nothing!" "Lubos is lost." "~ Who?" "~ The groom." "Anna, I'll fix it!" "Everything will be fine." "Take the shortcut." "The pub's to the right." "Not the shortcut!" "Come on, crank it up!" "~ Congratulations!" "~ We did it!" "~ Now you really are the best!" "I'm so happy for you." "~ At one point I almost cried." "~ But you did it!" "~ It feels like a fairy tale." "~ Why?" "Look at this beauty!" "~ No signs, just the sun... ~ Rock..." "~ Dragon's Tooth... ~ And the two of us!" "~ Can you hear that, Dad, Mána!" "?" "Is there a fire?" "~ Yeah!" "Directly below us." "Mom, I'm here!" "~ I'm a climber like my dad." "~ Be quiet!" "Vasek!" "Vasek!" "I did it!" "Guys, watch out, Mom!" "~ Grandpa, how will they get down?" "~ Down the rope." "~ The rope!" "~ Don't look there!" "~ Bring me the boy!" "~ Maybe the ladder." "~ The ladder." "Deploy the ladder." "No, Mom, not a ladder!" "We are climbers!" "~ It will be chancy!" "~ The Conqueror of picturesque mountains on the ladder." "~ It'll be our honor, Mána." "~ Providing a rescue for the chief." "~ Chief..." "~ Mountain Rescue Service.." "~ It doesn't work." "~ Why not?" "~ It's stuck!" "~ Turn it again." "~ But the other way around." "~ What happened here?" "I do not know." "So!" "Someone says something and you spread it around the village via express." "~ We'll rescue the chief with the ladder." "~ Lubos?" "The two of you?" "~ He's hurt?" "~ No!" "Why?" "~ Otherwise, he'd climb down the rope like that boy over there." "~ Vasek, wait!" "~ Andrés, no!" "They deserve praise!" "Dad, watch out, it's Mom!" "Urchin, I'll spank you so hard you won't sit down for a week." "Lubos, down!" "Now it will be exciting: if the storm gets even the chief." "~ The Mom looks pretty well?" "~ Yeah!" "Lubos, come on!" "You're losing your bride." "Anna!" "Anna!" "Anna!" "Honey!" "I promised Vasek!" "Nothing will happen to him!" "I take it on my conscience!" "He's my son!" "Anna, forgive me!" "We'll never do it again." "Don't do that!" "Vasek is looking forward to the fun, my dad's broken-hearted." "I'll get a shock!" "I said I wouldn't go on a bike, but I went!" "I didn't want to stay here, but I stayed!" "I wanted to use and enjoy life at the stove!" "You fell in love with me, you can't live without me." "~ So it doesn't matter whether the wedding's on Tuesday or Saturday." "~ Wedding?" "What wedding?" "The wedding will never be!" "You seemed to be a great dad." "But you're a liar and a criminal." "Like any normal guy!" "There you are!" "Not a letter, not a card, nothing!" "~ And here I am, covered in thorns, and you don't even care!" "~ Don't get upset!" "No, there was no point in coming --- the wedding's off." "Why off?" "The rascal won't marry you?" "I don't want to!" "Surely you can't do this to Vasek." "This all means his mom hasn't decided to get married yet?" "I've decided!" "I don't care what Vasek will say!" "But I want him to stay alive!" "No one may threaten the life of my children." "What children?" "You specifically told him what you wanted!" "~ But he ignored it." "Instead he took him up the Dragon's Tooth!" "~ Above all, you love him." "I don't want to see him anymore." "He let me down!" "~ When I saw them climbing rocks." "~ You don't get it, girl!" "When a man is not a man, he's boring." "Drivers or skydivers risk their lives every day." "~ In contrast, climbing is a safe sport." "~ For bad men!" "~ They absolutely don't appreciate life." "~ It's not risky with Lubos." "There's only one dangerous profession." "Being a male!" "The boy needs to learn how!" "~ So embrace him!" "~ How?" "Along with broken ribs?" "He's never coming back at all?" "He'll never accept that." "~ Wow, Dad and Grandpa!" "~ Three, two, one, zero, hop!" "~ So how did I do?" "Great?" "~ You're the wisest." "Prague has fifty schools and you find the right one!" "Grandpa couldn't even find his way out of the station." "Don't trust him, Vasek!" "~ But now we have to correct the mistake." "~ How's life at home?" "~ I'm in hell!" "What about Pepa?" "~ Forget Pepa." "What about Mom?" "~ Still angry?" "~ More and more!" "~ Does she talk with you?" "~ Less and less!" "~ Bloody hell!" "In the morning, she gets up, goes to the bathroom and closes the door, and's in there for an hour!" "~ What's she doing for an hour?" "~ Sitting in the bath and sighing!" "Then she comes out, looks at a calendar and says: "Oh yeah"." "Maybe waiting for when you arrive." "In the evening it's even worse." "We had three bad fish." "~ Why?" "~ Because I don't like fish!" "It's women's tactics!" "I can't let things go on like this." "You said that the storm would clear." "But I see you've cleared up nothing." "Vasek, take care of Grandpa!" "And don't come home in less than two hours!" "But, Grandpa, my dad doesn't have the key." "A one and a two." "Arabesque." "A one and a two and brace those shoulders." "Anna!" "Anna!" "Anna!" "I've arrived!" "Private business after the exercise!" "I wanted to tell you..." "I'll never do anything behind your back." "Vasek and I will always climb rocks right in front of you!" "Turn!" "Mom, I'm sorry!" "I forced him to, every day!" "Dad didn't want to climb rocks!" "Not really!" "If only you knew how sorry Dad is!" "Really!" "~ Don't start that again!" "~ It's all my fault!" "Look!" "When you listen to a kid, you get it across the ass." "Since you won't listen to grownups, you can't do anything." "~ And it doesn't help your Dad or anybody else." "~ Forgive us, Mom!" "I can forgive all the dirty tricks, but this is something else." "~ I don't understand you." "~ Maybe you don't want us to be happy again?" "We once were three, but it can never be two again!" "Mom, Dad is here!" "With seven climbers." "You call him!" "He's here!" "He wants to come home!" "Call him!" "Mommy!" "You want to go to your dad?" "~ Yeah." "~ Why don't you go?" "You'll have a lot of fun with him." "It would be sad for you." "I know that!" "I was sad, too, when I went there myself!" "You're my little scruff." "I'll tell you a secret." "Do you want me to?" "What would you say if a stork flew in for us in March?" "I don't want a stork!" "I want my own Dad to come home." "~ Home!" "Now, now!" "~ I'm going to have a baby." "~ The two of us?" "~ The three of us!" "Here, Colombo." "I arranged everything." "Absolutely!" "Tomorrow at exactly nine!" "Three rings!" "Password: kangaroo will arrive in March." "~ What's this?" "~ Nothing!" "Vasek wants to go to the zoo." "~ Password?" "~ Where's Mommy?" "~ She went shopping!" "Don't leave!" "You're here!" "~ Password?" "Password?" "~ Kangaroo will arrive in April." "~ In March!" "~ What's with a kangaroo, what is all this?" "~ Kangaroos carry kids, too." "~ Oh, you want a brother." "~ I don't want a sister!" "~ First they have to get married." "~ Grandpa, do you know how babies are born?" "~ After the wedding!" "~ I kind of thought that myself." "But it's enough if two people love each other." "~ That's why your mother and I have you?" "~ Yeah, I followed you." "If we're not careful, you could have a little brother!" "She's not even married but she'll have two kids!" "~ You're not making sense!" "~ My mom's telling the truth." "~ You're lying!" "Grandpa, how about we put our boy under the pump in a blanket?" "~ Why?" "~ Let's see if he's tough!" "And when there's four of us, we'll take him rock-climbing!" "You're so confused." "It won't be a boy, but a girl!" "Honey, don't you want me to say that we'll have two children wearing a kangaroo?" "How could the two of us have a girl?" "That together we'll have a second child, we really will." "~ Right?" "~ Oh, yes!" "Anna!" "Mom, Dad!" "What's wrong with you?" "~ You know what?" "I might send them to the zoo." "~ I know you, you'll go with them." "Anna!" "Dad, Mom!"
