"Sorry." "Actually, it's not too bad to know what happens next." "It may seem boring to you but we have our small entertainments for free." "We're probably too early today." " Ah, no, no."

" Yes, Miss Sochorova, foreign correspondence." " Hello." " Bon appetite." " Thank you." "Do you like her?" "Who?" "Come on, you barely noticed what was for dinner tonight." "She's pretty." "Well, pretty..." "She's very smart." "She's our best correspondent." "Three languages." "But watch out for that doctor!" "He'll grab her from under your nose!" "What should I do?" "No woman ever bothers to look at me in the street." "Nonsense!" "Are you married?" "No." " But you have a girlfriend?" " I have." "I mean, I had." "She ran away with some painter." "Then you're available." "That's something." " And a good catch." " Sure." "Let's have a drink." "I have something good." "From Morava." "The real one." "Drink it and you'll sleep like an angel."

"Nothing!" "You couldn't have fallen in love, could you?" "Oh please, she get someone better..." "At first, they all look for a fairy-tale prince." "Later an ordinary husband is worth more than an imaginary prince." "They are happy to get married." "Go on, tell her!" "What are you scared of?" "I wish I were as free as you are." "So I told her..." "The day before I left." "What an idiot..." "I should have kept silence before I got hurt." "What does this man want from me?" "Why is my mother crying?" "And Emil... all shaved..." "That's Jindriska, Alice's sister." "She looks moved too." "You know this one." "The one she came with is a professional badminton player." "I have to say something." "That's what they're waiting for." "I do." "I declare your marriage to be legal and binding." "Now, please exchange wedding rings." "What's the matter?" "Nothing."

" Would you do something for me?" " But of course!" "Should I..." "jump out of the window?" "No, not that..." "I hate to ask you this." "We won't sleep together tonight." "Are you angry with me?" "What 'll I do here when you leave?" "When Jindriska gets married you'll be able to live in Prague with me." " I..." "I've..." " What?" "I've requested a transfer to Prague." "Excuse me." "What if I asked Karel?" " Oh, no." " He'd be able to fix it, wouldn't he?" "Look, I don't like these favours, and especially not from him." "We're leaving, please." " But he's a decent fellow." " Excuse me, we're leaving." "Cofee break." "I've lost 6 pounds on my diet." "I think she knows we watch her." "She always does the same routine, As if she rehearsed it." "Jesus." "Sorry for telling you this!" "I forgot that you've joined the ranks of the faithful." "Since we're here..." "Maybe you could tell me a lucky number?" "26." "But I'm not lucky." "Tell this to someone else." "To get such a piece!" "You'd have to be some kind of a workhorse." "Who would have thought, such a shorty..." "But then, still waters..." "Emil, you're a shameless animal!" "You better learn from him." " He is a loving husband." " Yeah, yeah." "Did you notice her outfit?" "What outfit?" "Alice made an impression."

"What has happened?" "Can I come in?" "Of course..." "Alice isn't home." " Can I come in anyway?" " But of course." "When'll Alice be back?" "Maybe around ten." "I'm not sure." "She's doing some auditing, youknow." "Well, this..." "She'll have to mend it." "Is it hers?" " You wouldn't mind, would you?" " On the contrary." "Well, but I have to be going." "Where to?" "A date?" "Brussels night train..." "Brussles?" "Oh, what a misfortune." "I know you'd like to kill me." "Why'd I want to do that?" "I'm in the way here." "But I'm trying to find my own place."

"I adore fried eggs." "Hey Frantisek." "Hello!" "The meeting had to be over at around midnight." "But it finished earlier." "A friend drove me home." "So here I am." "It's good to have you here." "Well, if mountain does not come to Mohammed..." "Frantisek..." "Emil's an idiot." "No way I'll buy his motorbike." "Chairman" "Excuse me." "Thank you." "Jesus, Franta!" "Just a second." "I'll be there!" "Take this to the Legal Department please." "Frantisek, well, why didn't you let me know that you were coming?" "Welcome anyway." "I'm in a big rush, but I can spare 5 minutes." "Come in." "Well, well." "How are things?" "How's Alice?" "She doesn't beat you, does she?" "The first year is a decisive one." "You must grasp the reins firmly." "Boss, it's 9 o'clock." "Surely they can wait a moment." "Sweet Jesus..." "Frantisek, next time I visit your branch office, we'll go to my brother to drink that slivovitz again." "Remember?" "Real poison, right?" "The head office?" "What would I do with you, my friend?" "Franta, look here." "I'll tell you as it is." "Unfortunately, it is not me who decides." "There's the matter of budget and so on..." "You're out of luck. 6 months ago the situation was totally different." "Today we're jam packed." "Look, I can't promise you anything, but I'll try to help you." "Trust me." "What's wrong with you?" "Is it your diet?" "You better start eating again and don't be a fool!" "Comrade Meek!" "Congratulations, congratulations!" "Just a second!" "You've been promoted!" "Here, in this office?" "Where else?" "I applied for a transfer to the main office." "Better a manager here than an office-boy there, won't you agree?" "I'm against them taking our best people!" "Let's drop this subject." "Let me congratulate you again." "I have a full confidence in you." "I hope you will rule over us mercifully." "Please, come in." "No, no, all honor to the deserving." "Everyone's talking about it." "Right, Emil?" "Yep." "You lucky dog!" "First, a beautiful wife, then, a pomotion." "Getting to know the Chairman" "Oh come on, I'd rather be a porter at the main office." "But of course!" "Don't try to kid me." "But I'm not jealous," "I'm just a small cog in a machine, no one notices me." "Let me know how much you get." "I always knew that our Frantisek will make it." "Should I call?" "What if I wake up my sister-in-law..." "No..." "Why shouldn't she go out to dinner... with someone she knows?" "I'm ridiculous." "I'm a ridiculous Othello from the regional office," "Accounting Department B." "You're a good catch." "A good catch..." "I am a catch..." "Of course, I am a catch!" "Who'd be jealous of a clerk in a regional office!" "I will kill him!" "I must kill him or I'll explode!" "I, a clerk from the regional office, am going to kill the Chairman of the head office." "But how?" "How?" "Miss!" "This, this and this." "Calm, I have to be calm." "It requires thoroughness, preparation." "It mustn't be the work of an amateur." "I'll suppress my anger and I will act calmly." "Oh my!" "It's so fantastically simple, after all." "Overtime again, Comrade?" "You know how it is...." "The monthly report..." "I can't see a thing..." "Will you have some coffee with me?" " If you're treating..." " Please, come through." " Please, sit down." " Thank you." " Is your heart in a good shape?" " Not bad." "This is a strong stuff." "Thank you, Comrade." "I have tonsillitis, nothing serious." "Come after the first." "Kisses, Frantisek." "Is that it?" "Cross out those 'kisses'." "Or, maybe, leave them." "Should I cross them out or leave them in the end?" "!" "Mister, please." " Whatever." " 7.80" "My compliments." "How can I serve you?" "Emil," "I've decided to buy your motorbike." "None of the detective stories tells us how boring it is." "Seven and a half hours on one spot." "Four days and nothing." "They'll take this from my vacation." "Don't be afraid, wait." "Don't be afraid." "No!" "No!" "Franta, don't do anything stupid." "Leave it, Franta." "Stop it." "What do you want to do?" "Wait!" "Franto, why do we act like fools?" "We can work this out, can't we?" "We're men, right?" "See?" "Just look at him!" "And we thought that he's a decent person." "You're just a simple, fat office rat!" "Get out before I call police!" "Do you need any help?" "I'll hold the light for you." "No, thanks." "I'm done." "What has happened?" "Good evening." "I've just..." "They have my fingerprints... and my description." "Double murder, aggravating circumstances." "Roadblocks, police at the station..." "Maybe they have even surrounded my house!" "There's no escape now." "Frantisek Meek?" "Police." "Rest in peace." "Amen." "But why me?" "Why me?" "He's the murderer!" "He's the one!" "Why do you look at me this way?" "Why do you judge me?" "Don't blame me!" "She brought it onto herself!" "I'm the victim!" "Me!" "Me!" "Back!" "Turn it back!" "All of it!" "Turn it all back!" "Kcab lla ti nrut!" "Here we go again, from the beginning." "It started here..." "The phony tears, kisses, love making!" "What do I care about him?" "He's just a stranger." "But she..." "Alice..." "It's all her fault!" "Hers!" "If I kill her, I'll get revenge on him!" "[The Heart Warns You]" "But this time it'll be different..." "Carefully thought over, no mistakes." "No more mistakes!" "And alibi, a perfect alibi." "Like in an American film." "Heart failure, acute circulatory collapse, in which primary function of the peripheral circulation fails... leading to unconsciousness caused by circulation issues." "Let me stay here with you." "No, thank you, thanks a lot." "Come back at 7-30 am." "Now, please give me those pills." "Miss Jarmilka, would you please... get me some water so that I could take those pills?" " Of course, Frantisek." " Thank you so much!" "Emil, please..." "Would you bring me a pot?" " Which pot?" " Well, not the flower pot!" "It's in a bathroom." "I'll be in Prague at 11-50 pm." "Plane ticket is for Josef Bubenicek." "Tomorrow morning I fly back at 6-50 am." "At 7-30 in the morning witnesses will find me sick in bed." "This is what one calls a proper alibi." "I even know that her sister is in Paris." "Good evening." "Who is that man?" "Dear, I am really interested to know how long has it been going on?" "Seven years." "Seven?" "I see..." "Well, well..." "And a divorce would ruin his carreer, wouldn't it?" "Naturally..." "Will you invite me in?" "I want you to sign this... this document." "It's just a formality, you know." "After all we'll have to get a divorce, right?" "Of course, right?" " Please, come in." " Please, come in." "Frantisek..." "Peace and good will... to everyone" "The sweet grapes... give sweet wine." "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "When I sing my song..." "Help me!" "Help!" "All the way down, my love, will you hear me?" "Help!" "Why did you marry me?" "I didn't think he'd let it go so far..." "He gave you this?" "Pretty." "Why did you do it?" "I like you, Frantisek!" " Why did you do it?" " I love him." "I'd crawl after him on my knees to the end of the earth." "I know I'm bad, but I love him." "No!" "Help me!" "Help!" "She will not recognize me, my love." "She doesn't know that note," "my love..." "She doesn't know that note..." "Alice!" "Alice!" "Alice!" "I love you!" "I didn't mean it!" "Back!" "Back!" "Stop this!" "I messed it up again!" "That was not a solution either..." "Goodbye" "It's my fault, not hers." "I'm a zero, a failure, I can't even kill properly." "At least I will die with dignity if I could not live with dignity." "This is the last sound I hear in my life." "If I got all this praise while still alive..." "It must have cost a lot." "But well, they're saving on my rent." "To our unforgettable co-worker, branch manager" "Nice of them..." "So she did feel something for me..." "It's the worst for you, dear Mother." "Don't sob so heavy!" "It's partly your fault too!" "One day someone will cheat on you too!" "I understand you now, Karel." "You're a smart fellow." "Maybe, you were the real one for me..." "One shouldn't bite more than one can chew." "You Emil." "You have some surprise up your sleeve, as usual." "Right?" "Brightly shining golden sun" "Light up my final steps for me" "Warm, holy feelings run in my heart." "Dry my tears so I could see clearly" "No!" "This will not happen this way!" "Wait!" "Chairman" "Impossible!" "I can't let you in!" "Comrade Chairman!" "That's all, honey!" "Gentlemen, excuse me." "I have to discuss an important matter with my dear Karel." "Could you please leave this room?" "Please!" "Sit down, Karel." "This is nice." "Please..." " May I say something?" " No!" "What I discussed with Comrade Chairman is none of your business." "Excuse me, but it really isn't." "Branch Manager" "Coffee fit for the Turkish sultan, Mr. Chairman" "Not today, sweety." "On Monday." "But stick to your promise." "Who would be jealous of a man like Binder?" "That's our little Karla." "Well, she does not look like me, but I love all kids anyway." "Excuse me, I'm in a hurry." "The End"
