" Maybe your...?" " Woman." "You mean your wife?" "Where are you off to now?" "The sun rises in the east, and sets in the west, as you know." "Flowers open at dawn and close at dusk."

" Leave me alone!" "It's getting dark." "Don't be mean." "We hardly found you." "I didn't miss you." "We'll find the guy tomorrow." "Don't do that." "Should we forgive him?" "We have to get ready!"

"What a pity." "Are you cross with us?" "Oh my God, they took my hat too!" "Rascals!" "I've been robbed." "How could they do it?" "!" "He's been robbed!" "A robbed beggar means a bad year." "What is it?" "They even took your flute?" "How unfortunate." "Robbing someone just like that!" "?" "I'll be right back." "That was my husband." "I've told you about him." "He was a trumpeter with the hussars." "I can't believe you were married." "I always thought you were a spinster." "You're making fun of me." "Do I look so bad?" "Sit down." "I have been through a lot too." "More bad things than good ones." "My husband died and I was left with no more than a dumb servant." "You have nobody to quarrel with now." "But there's nobody to talk to either." "Dumb is dumb." "I could have married again." "People tried to persuade me." "Even our priest did." "I got into an argument with him." "Everybody is against me now." "They say I can't get along with anybody." "Well, well..." "They might be content if I gave everything away." "The priest asks for donations for the church all the time." "I've given so much already!" "It was enough." "For the most part, those beg who don't need it." "Stop grumbling!" "You should be at work!" "He troubles me." "He's a lazy lump." "I must chase him to work everyday." "What's that?" "Shelak." "What is it good for?" "It works like glue." "How dare you...?" "Well, well..." "I'll be on my way." "Fetch some wood!" "You go home, mom's cooking jam." "You can't play!" "You just scare the fish." "Let it be, you won't catch anything." "Stop it, I said!" "Come on, my dear." "Good catch?" "Good catch you say?" "No, nothing!" "He's making noise!" "It's a nice piece." "We could play together." "Let's go with him." "He may have something to eat." "Come on!" "Hey, uncle!" "Start playing!" "He can play, but he can't start." "How's that?" "Can't you start?" "Why do you have a flute if you're deaf?" "We're students..." "Have you got something to eat?" "You're loafers!" "We are only wandering about." "I can see that." "I wanted to be a monk." "What stood in your way?" "My father left for France." "We're poor." "How many instruments can you play?" "In fact, not one well enough." "And they ran off with your flute?" "What shall I do without my flute?" "I am truly a beggar now." "Serves you right!" "You were in bad company!" "How about Pauline and you?" "Why?" "She asked about you." "What did she ask?" "This and that." "Got you!" "Did you think I wouldn't find you?" "I'm chasing you across half the land!" "Why can't you stay put?" " Just wait!" " I'd better go." "Wait!" "I know everything, anyway." "Where's your flute?" "You fool!" "No more music huh?" "I could beat you up!" "KrujbeI!" "Here you are!" "What?" "It's yours." "Can you see any lice in there?" "You have never seen one, right?" "Not fancy enough?" "Anybody can get lice in war." "The war is long over." "I am sick of listening to this." "All that war talk." "I've had enough." "You seem way too picky to me!" "I know, I'm just a tramp, and a beggar." "You at least have work." "I know, I have a feeling..." "I'll come to a lousy end." "I needn't be here." "Or anywhere else." "You see." "What now?" "Who is there?" "It's me." "Who is it?" "Mathew." "I must talk to you." "I'd like to apologize." "Again?" "And I am hungry." "I'll get you something and then you'll go." "Good evening." "I know, you are angry." "Angry with me." " Don't touch me!" " Come on..." "I'll scream!" " The servant is deaf." " Let me be!" " My lady!" " How dare you...?" " Let go!" " Pauline, I..." "I don't want to have anything to do with you!" "Let me be!" "Mathew..." "Pauline..." "I thought you were not like that." "On the run again?" "I didn't want to wake you up." "Well, you slept well..." "Come and change your clothes." "It's stuffy here." "I must open the windows." "You're like my husband." "Yet, he was somewhat cleverer." "Morning, madam!" "It' our pal, Mathew." "Look at the suit!" "He looks like a minister." "How do you know him?" "We served in the army together." "I wanted to help you!" "All right." "Stop grumbling." "What about you two again?" "I want to help him, he wouldn't let me." "Enough!" "He won't take your barn." "And mind your business!" " See what he is like?" " He's a fool." "I repair prayer books!" "To hell with you, rascal!" "Give it to me." "He's angry again." "Look!" "He's so enraged!" "Stop that, will you?" "It's your fault I can't even go to church now." "Oh my God..." "I used to have a vineyard up there." "My farming is getting worse every year." "Sometimes it seems the servant gives the orders here." "You should get married." "I could have done that long ago." "I lived a decent life before you started bothering me." "People had no reason for gossip - until now." "Anyway, I wouldn't marry you." "Why me?" "You can choose." "I couldn't be with you long." "Why long?" "Short time is enough but it should be worth it!" "You said you couldn't stand me for long." "We can go to pray now." "God bless!" "Come on." "It's them!" "They stole my flute!" "Wait here." "You thieves!" "Come here!" "Where is my flute?" "What flute?" "Are you playing the innocent?" " I don't know you." " Neither do I." "Don't act like idiots!" "Halt!" "Hells bells, halt!" "Wait!" "Do you want to contribute to our offertory?" "I want your abbot!" "Just a moment." "Wait!" "Open!" "I want to speak to the abbot!" "Damn it... you pharisees!" "I want my flute back!" "What flute?" "You rascals!" "You've stolen my hat too!" "You surprise me." "He's deaf." "I'm not going to talk to him!" "Why can't you too get along?" " Eat your food!" " I lost my appetite." "Two of a kind." "If you got on well, everything would be different." "With such a fool?" "What shalI I do with him?" "He won't change." "And I can't send him away." "There's gossip all the same." "If I married you it would be even worse." "You don't want to marry." "And I'm not trying to convince you." "But you can't have two servants." "I should have left." "Anyway, I have to do it sooner or later." "I've got two brothers." "One is a railwayman, the other is a miller." "If there hadn't been a war I would've been a miller too." "Shall I sue them?" "I have my dignity." "I am leaving tomorrow." "We'll go to the fair on Saturday." "Choose a happy planet!" "Excuse me, what's the time, please?" "Ten past nine." "Eleven, you're a minute older." "Man, is that you?" "What happened to you?" "You don't remember us anymore?" " I'm just looking around." " You look younger." "Hire me" " I can do some work for you!" "Are you out of your mind?" "I am not interested any more!" "You either argue or talk nonsense." "I hoped to be given some alms..." " Then take me for a ride!" " Don't be silly!" " Stop it!" " Ashamed of your friend?" "Don't be silly, I say!" "Where are you going?" "Wait!" "Stop them!" "Come on!" "In the name of the law, stop!" "What happened, Pauline?" "I've been robbed." "There!" "They ran off with my horses!" "You are insane!" "You got me into real trouble!" " Stop whining!" " You'll go there with me!" " What are you afraid of?" " You're the witness!" "Why not?" "But the ride first." " The horses must be tired!" " Wait!" "Wait!" "Easy, auntie." "We have plenty of time." "Not to get hurt." "Oh, Father!" "You, here?" "Let's go!" "Watch it!" "Prayer books!" "Don't worry, we'll give them back tomorrow." "Stop it!" "Nice exercise!" "You didn't have to take me." "I could've gone on foot." "It's O.K., Pauline." "Everything's going to be all right." "Is that why you gave me a lift?" "You rooster!" "Oh God, what a life!" "One is a tramp, the other a fool..." "I'm so stupid, Pauline." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to upset you." "Leave me alone!" "Come on!" "Nothing happened." "I'm unhappy too." "I am sorry for everything." "The moment I wake up I feel unhappy." "I even made the bike because of you!" "What to do if I'm so unhappy?" "Go away, don't make a fool of yourself." "I don't care about you." "I'm not going anywhere, Pauline." "I can't leave you alone now." "Don't you understand?" "I run after you like a fool." "I would do anything for you." "Don't worry." "And him... just wait and see!" "The beggars' battalion, salute!" "You see, we're like orphans again." "At least we have the horses, we don't have to walk." "It's you I should've got rid of." "If Pauline knew what the horses meant for us, she wouldn't want them back." "I see you are angry." "I'll tell you stories from the war." "In this wood..." "I don't care about battles or wars!" "To hell with them!" "I could live a settled life now!" "And live like everyone else." "If you didn't envy me." "You've ruined everything!" "Are you going to cry?" "You can sigh over a passionate widow!" "Here you are!" "You're a troublemaker!" "After the defeat in Trnava, Rakoczy was in trouble." "Stop it!" "You're getting on my nerves!" "He called up a meeting and the archbishop came." "Let the sun shine!" "Come rain, come thunder!" "Stop it, or I'll push you!" "No elements can hurt us!" "We are lilies of the field!" "Gunpowder test No. 1..." "No. 2..." "No. 3!" " You, you..." " What is it?" "You comedian!" "Why don't you leave me alone?" "Why are you constantly following me?" "Piss off, you bloody bastard!" "I don't want to see you ever again!" "Leave me alone!" "Buddy, don't leave me here." "Good, excellent..." "That's it, children..." "Myslik is coming!" "Where are you going?" "Come back!" "Cock-a-doodle-doo!" "Casta village!" "Casta!" "Wait, just one more beer." "All right, sexton." "Prepare everything for tomorrow." "Many pilgrims are coming, everything needs to be ready." "Don't worry." "You will forgive me." "Pictures of saints!" "Buy pictures!" "Here you are." "I was a bad soldier, I couldn't hurt anybody." "Not one soldier of the enemy..." "Why did you join the legions then?" "You don't understand." "Do you think I don't know history?" "History is nothing if you can't see." "Dear believers!" "Once upon a time there was a monk." "He kept a hen and the hen laid an egg every day." "But he had nothing to feed the hen, and so one day it laid no egg." "The monk started to complain:" "You are unfair, my Lord!" "I've been your servant all my life, but you don't let me have even an egg!" "Then God appeared to him." "Listen, fool and grumbler!" "The hen has a smaller brain and can accept its fate." "Can't you?" "Wise words." "God is wise." "Once there was a wood, and a hill in the wood, and a church up on the hill." "Once there was a small hill," "They built a small church on it." "Inside the small church, there was a small statue of St. Anthony." "There were three altars, one for Virgin Mary, the second for St. John, the third one for Jesus Christ." "What a happy day," "Let our song sound in the sky." "Our grieves are all you hear," "The day of joy is coming near." "Once there was a tramp named Matthew." "He went on a pilgrimage, he visited many places." "People say no one can rival him because only he could play the flute." "What a play it was!" "He played music at fairs, and people liked him." "They like me too." "They like us both because they need us!" "What would fairs be like without us and our music?" "Come on, come on!" "Wait!" "I'll play for you!" "What music that will be!" "Louder, pilgrims!" "If I can't hear you, how can the Lord hear you up in Heaven?" "Sing louder, pilgrims, louder!"
