"The Screw Factory's our sponsor." "Screw..." "I'd rather suggest Scoundrels..." "And what number will you play?" "Last week's lottery numbers." "Arrogance will get you nowhere." "You don't say!" "You're on after the Power Plant." "Well... thanks very much." "Stay put, you're not in the jury." " Don't say you like this wailing." " Calm down." "Well, okay." "Think I look under thirty?" "From afar." "How far?" "Wait..." "From here you look forty." "From there?" "Forty-five, wait, I'll go further." "That's fantastic." "What?" "I don't understand." "From here you're like a factory apprentice." "This isn't a football stadium." "Why are you yelling?" "What?" "Bravo!" "We're waiting for the jury's decision."

"And told he was a scapegrace," "Who drags his Mom and Dad by the hand," "Who brags all day that he's got the very best sling-shot." "You'd be good, says Dad, if you ate nice food," "But he said no more," "Just told him: never be a bore." "Pisti grew up, his amazing hair grew too," "But that was no shame." "He was rude to the girls and who knows what else," "Yet at home no one told him:" "watch it!" "For them he was still a little scapegrace," "Though he was big now, didn't drag them around." "But it's money he needs now" "Not a sling-shot." "It'd be good if his father were stricter," "Then we could hope" "That his son would be better." "Don't quit, girls." "Go on." "Go on!" "Do it!" "Great!" "More!" "Though my soul is gentle and I don't preach" "I tell him if he acts bad with me" "I make sure there's no trouble with Pisti" "I keep telling him:" "watch it, kiddie!" "I promise he won't be a scapegrace again" "At most he will beg for a kiss" "And drag me by the hand to the old island" "And never again want a sling-shot." "Jury!" "Stop it!" "Depraved." "You're right, stop it." "This is an orgy." "They are men." "I see that!" "Where's the host?" " Scandal!" " Excuse me ladies..." "Stop playback music." " What happened?"

"I must announce..." "Esteemed audience..." "You can see this chain made of Swedish steel." "Boston's Caesar will tear it apart with his chest." "You're just my aid." "I should have announced it." "Selfish." "You begrudge me the limelight?" "This isn't a singer's number." "Keep in your place." "Your wig is lovely." "Not on my arms!" "What are you doing?" "You'll regret it." "Now free yourself, Boston." "It was my idea, dammit." "Stupid bitch!" "Fight those damn chains." "At it, Hungarians!" "Long live Caesar!" "Let's hear the jury's decision." "The chain got through." "The contestant I'm afraid did not." "Well, sorry..." "Thank you." "Jerks!" "Rotten assholes." "Get on stage quick." "They need rock and roll." "That'll calm them." "We haven't decided yet." "What?" "What we're going to play." "Just get on stage and play." "With our dicks?" " Come on..." " He bowled me over." "I got you drumsticks." "But they're egg-beaters." "Drums or eggs..." "Just beat them, dear Dodi, I love you so." "If only girls would just get lost." "Silence and order." "Let's calm down." "Let off steam." "Right?" "Do you want them to lose all confidence in us?" "Do you want the neighbouring block to get through?" "I'd be ashamed." "Isn't the spirit of the WYC alive for you?" "Well then!" "Let's continue." "Finally the last number in the qualifying round, the dincy-dancy category." "A talented group from the district by the name of" "Screw." "What are we going to hear?"

"Nothing." "We listened to the radio," "I got sleepy... and now we're sleeping." "We got through?" "I thought I dreamt it." "My father!" "Good evening..." "The thing is..." "Angela, love has caught up with you." "Angela, Angela," "I get dizzy all over" "And the shadows turn into light" "As I see you in my arms." "Angela," "My little angel." "What are you doing?" "Who is this young man?" " Who are you?" " He's got no place to stay..." "What's going on?" "A girl's greatest asset is her virginity these days." "And you're messing around with a stranger along with my mandrel and my hand-drill." "What if the plane I got from grandpa disappears?" " Greetings..." " Mom!" "God, you've got cool parents." "I don't want to see you here in ten minutes." "Give me a good coffee." "Give me something to drink." "What are you so glum about?" "You're the talk of the block." "The egg-beaters." "The egg-beaters complicated our qualifying." "I don't get it." "Felix says we qualified because of the egg-beaters." " They judged it as a comedy turn." " See what you did?" "Women overcomplicate things." "Don't be crazy..." "You're in the finals and that's what counts." "Yes, we qualified and we're going to Helsinki." "How'll we get there?" "Plane?" "Train?" "Bus?" "IBUSZ!" "No, with a trolleybus." "You got a letter, Attila." "What?" "Dear Attila!" "I'm standing here at Niagara Falls watching the water falling and imagining you here with me." "You're drinking Coca-Cola, I have a Pepsi and we enjoy..." "Katinka..." "I'm coming!" "For sure." "You coming, Attila?" "Too bad she doesn't speak Hungarian." "Look..." "The other is Mastroianni."

"I know you're all here to watch that Swedish cow!" "Pretzel." "Quick." "Who was it?" "I'll call a policeman." "Aren't you one?" "Dolce Vita..." "Dodi..." " Anita, come here or I'll come to you." " That's right, let's go." "We'll stop the screening." "Quick." "They'll stop it." "Anita, I'm coming..." "What a riot!" "We have to play at the finals." "Don't get caught." "We can't miss this!"

"Preparing for the Talent Contest." "Talent Contest?" "I heard about it." "You're so cute." "Where's the restroom?" "That way..." "I'll be right back." "Don't start without me." "Is your auntie a cop?" "Idiots, I don't even know who she is." "How's it going?" "We were at the movies." "Come on home now." " Are you hungry?" " I want a banana." "You're not a monkey." "Hunger?"

"Don't you remember?" "Hi, Attila." "We came to root for you, though I prefer Bach." "I didn't know you were dating." "I didn't want him behind me all the time." " I have to talk to you." " Angela..." "What is it?" "I must tell you something." "Who knows, you might win the finals." "Might?" "We will." "If you do, then first I have to admit that I wrote Katinka's letters." "What?" "Katinka's letters..." "I wrote them all." "Even the first one four years ago." "You're making it up." "We drink Coca-Cola, and the Niagara Falls..." "What is all this?" "Shu-shu madness." "Manci!" " You're an idiot." " I'll defect anyway." "Manci's back." "How are you?" "I'm at the TV." "I'm reserve announcer for the Czech Experimental Program." "I'm on unpaid leave so I came home." "Manci!"
