"Comrade, add Kashtel Stari to it." "All right." "This young man was from my village, too." "Oh, my dear friend..." "What a mess!" "Makes me really mad!" "They broke in and stole everything!" "I wonder when!" "Hey, comrades!" "Have a look at what those fellows did." "The soldiers haven't even entered the town properly, and they stole everything." "Oh, yes..." "One used to know what order was before." "Soldiers come in - all right." "And look at this!" "Hey, friend, wait!" "You're in a hurry, eh?" "We'd better go to the right!" "We're heading straight on." "Straight on?" "All right." "Suits me." "I'll lead the way." "Where are you from?" " Me?" "From around here." "Have you seized something, brother?" "What are you blabbering about?" "Get lost!" "All right." "Good." "You'll be more understanding, pal." "We'd better go to the center of the town." "Drop into the big store for a sec." "What are you doing here?" "You look like our very own." "I can be honest with you." "I live on capitulation, pal." "What can I do?" "But the shop windows seem to be..." "Well, it was far better in pre-war Yugoslavia." "You know all the shops, don't you?" "Of course I do." "I know exactly what's where!" "I've been waiting for this day for three years, pal!" "You've been waiting for this day, eh?" " Yes." "Me, too." "And I've been waiting for you for three years, robber!" "Stand back!" "Comrade..." "Citizen, it was a joke, honest!" "Stand back!" "No, Marko!" "You shouldn't!" "Let me go." "This is an order!" "I'm sorry I didn't meet you yesterday, you bastard!" "I wouldn't be sorry for a bullet." "Go away!" "Sorry..." "Pardon me!" "What was that?" "The reservoir gate, but it's always been closed." "Far from here?" " Just around the corner." "I locked them 15 days ago." "The Germans wouldn't let me come down after that." "Commander!" "Commander!" "Are you crazy?" "!" " Just a minute." "One minute." "It's them tanks." "Long live the bride!" "Oho!" " Let's drink in our health!" "Congratulations!" "I'm not the bride!" "And I'm not particular!" "Thank you." "Just like with us." "I hear you!" "I hear!" "Over." "This will bring you a husband this very year." "Hey, kid, hold this grenade!" "You're a good fellow, Stevan." "Yes, I'm very good, but with no luck." "Go on." "And so..." "I come back home, my friend, and a village full of women in mourning." "And what am I supposed to tell them of the ones that got killed?" "Yes." "Same thing with us in Ukraine." "We used to have everything and now nothing." "Only the land and the women remain." "What women?" "They just make problems!" "You see, the papers used to write about me." "And now there are 500 pretenders on the heart and emotions of corporal Mamalishkin." "Let's see what we've got here..." "We've got..." "Here are the girls." "They belong to the first class." "Young widows, a rather good class." "Divorced ones - second class." "And simply the unmarried ones." "That's the third class." "Because they may well become old maids." "Mamalishkin is in demand everywhere!" "Lvov, Kiev, Kazan, Ryazan," "Omsk, Tomsk, Chelyabinsk..." "Everywhere, huh!" "What a demand for corporal Mamalishkin!" "You have to decide where to settle down after victory, to have a good and happy family life." "And what are you so sad about?" "Haven't you got anything?" "Here, go and choose!" "Choose from the first class." "Masha, Dasha, Shura!" "Nyura from Odessa, perhaps, huh?" "Just choose!" "Mamalishkin would give anything for a friend." "Stop that nonsense!" "Why?" "And put that away!" "Styopa!" "Styopa!" "What's the matter?" "Answer me!" "Tell me!" "The others?" "Stevan." "Where are the others?" "It's no good." "You'll find out nothing!" "Tell me where the others are?" "It's no good!" "At eight P.M. the town's going to blow up sky high." "Where?" "Who?" "Answer me!" "Where?" "Tell me!" "I'll tear you to pieces!" "Answer me!" "Will you talk or not?" "Speak!" "Idiot!" "You killed the informant." "I should hang you for this!" "So he's allowed to kill us, but we are not allowed to kill them." "He said that the town will be blown up at 8." "But he didn't say where!" ""Water". "Water"." "This is "grass". "Grass"." "Over." "Styopa, my friend." "Tell the command that we've found out about a diversion at 8 o'clock tonight." "They plan to blow up the town!" "They plan to blow up the town!" "There is more..." "We've lost a man, send one from the backup." "Don't say a word about this to the others." "Have you got it?" "Have you got it?" "Over." "Someone's got to go down." "See you later." "Hey, sergeant, please keep this for me." "I really like these titmouse birds." "What a fine place." " Hurry up!" "Comrade lieutenant, corporal Mamalishkin reporting." "Throw away that cigarette!" "Sure." "The tunnel here's long and straight." "Don't light the lamp!" "Where did you get this from?" " From Stevan." "What happened to him?" "Have you ever find anything here?" " I found a golden ring once." "What did you do with it?" " It's right here." "Why didn't you give it to a woman?" "They all used to say:" ""You stink too much, man."" "Commander, can you see the wire?" "It's the electricity wire." "It's a little deeper just here." "The Sun's setting..." " How do you know?" "Of course I do!" "Since the time I came down here, five rulers and two occupations have been changed." "Well, how is it?" " Like on a boat." "I feel sick and there's nowhere to go." "What have you stopped for?" "We've got to rest a little." "There is a steep slope up this tunnel." "We'll need a lot of strength." "You've turned into a thorough-bred soldier." "When I was a soldier, you were just a bean." "What?" "Do you want some?" "You eat it, old man." "Enjoy." "Don't strike a match!" "There can be patrol around." "Do you want some?" ""Water, water"..." ""Water, water"..." "This is "grass"." "This is "grass"." "What time is it?" "What time is it?" "Over." "Hurry up, old man!" "If you eat, do it like a soldier." "We're at war remember!" "Like a soldier, you say?" "My dear man, I defended Belgrade from them Germans back in 1915." "We were no worse soldiers than you are." "That's for sure." "Major Gavrilovich told us:" ""Soldiers!" "Heroes!"" ""The headquarters threw our company from the list of the living."" ""We're the sacrifice for honor of Belgrade and of the country."" ""So you need not worry about your lives..."" ""They don't exist anymore!"" "That's how it was back then, my friend." "Well, let's go on now!" "Don't shoot!" "Don't shoot!" "Shaken!" "Shaken!" "Sonny..." "Help us!" "Sonny..." "How did this happen?" "Uncle Demid, the grenade." "What grenade?" " Stevan's." "There's nothing going on here." "Please get going!" "Please get going!" "Good bye!" "They're calling me, too!" "Damn it!" "Help me!" "Marko!" "Comrade Marco!" "What is it?" "Don't you remember me?" "No." "I'm Vlada, do you remember?" "True, they called me names in the house." "An unpleasant name:" "The Rolling Fellow." "Do you remember?" "Ah, yes." "I remember." "Vlada" " The roller." "I met your Milena with the kid." "She knows that you're in town." "But she doesn't know that you're on duty." "If you see Milena, please tell her that I'll be back in..." "Nothing." "All right, Marco." "See you later!" "A friend?" "A neighbor." ""Grass". "Grass". "Grass"." "Here's "water". "Water"." "Yes, I understand." "I understand." "Over." "And I thought that..." "Nothing." "Step aside, old man." "There is a poem with us:" ""Open the road to young ones, and let the old men rest."" "Do you know what this means?" "I got too old!" "If you're not sure of yourself, get lost." "We don't need you." "No one but me could lead the way here." ""Water". "Water"." ""Water". "Water"." ""Water"." "Here's "grass"." "Here's "grass"." "Over." "Answer me!" "Answer me!" "Over." "Open it up!" "Over." "Rade!"

"Under us." "Under the flood-gate of the reservoir!" "Faster, faster!" " All right." "Finished?" " Yes." "Charge it!" " Yes." "5... 6... 7... 8..." "They've set the firing device already." "Old man..." "What do you think?" "What time is it now?" "Almost eight." "Well, then, what can we do now?" " You can't shoot..." "They would activate the charge." "You can't even stick out your nose." "They would activate it at once." "What can I do, then?" "!" "Why are you silent now?" "We can reach the machinery only through that opening." "The only way is to open the gate and destroy them by flooding." "Can they see the opening?" " Yes, and the machine is rusted." "We could only use the dynamite." "Only the dynamite!" "The lamp." "You've got to... attract their attention." "Seven minutes to eight." "The order will be given in 8:00." "Answer me." "Answer me." "Answer me, for goodness sake!" "You don't know it, but, we'll all get killed!" "Then you get out!" "There's enough time." "No!" "Now it's too late now!" "I can't go any further..." "Don't forget..." "The wheel..."
