"Come in, please." "The Slovak Film Institute presents" "BEFORE tonight is OVER" "What would you like to have, Mr Kvetinka?" "Ms Betka, what's my estimated worth in your view today?" "Nine fifty." "In that case, one vodka with soda, please." "On the rocks!" "Just you wait, coxcomb!" "Hi, Miloš!" "I always find you in the company of women." "So, try it out." "Does it work?" "It'll last for one hour." "Get me a seat over there." "Thanks." " What a spectacular show!" " Nitra, milá Nitra..." " What did you say?" " Ancient relics!" "How much is it, Ms Betka?" "I'm just struggling to figure out the amount, you know." "I either pay or take off." "See, no money to pay the surcharge again." "Let those ancient relics pay." "Why are you talking such nonsense?" "Why nonsense?" "Who's an ancient relic here?" " Today somebody is going to die." " Don't scare me." "You don't believe it?" "Let's make a bet." "Let's say, on a bottle of vodka." "Then you knock somebody on the head just to win!" "What a delight!" " Here you are." " l'm paying." " Headwaiter!" " How can I help you?" " A treat for the musicians." " But only after the dance." "May they drink to my health." "May they drink to my health." " No, after the dance, O.K.?" " After the dance, sir." "147,20." "Here you are." "Keep the change." "Thank you very much, bye!" "Pardon?" "You're not getting rid of me so easily." "Just wanted to settle for now." "Your pencil wrote 5 korunas more!" "It's possible. I'll give you back the difference." "No need!" "It's all right." "And give me a nice glass." "Which one, this one?" "This one is a bit ... I like the belly-shaped one." "Let's see." "I thought it looked different." "And how about you, do you like it?" "Quite so." "Fill it up with something, then." "What would you like to have?" " Are you serious?" " And we'll be all square." "All right." "Wait a moment!" "Ms Betka, two glasses please!" " So, who'll die?" "Come on!" " Relax, for God's sake." "All right, sit down here." " Of what?" "Vodkas?" " Yah." "You said that today somebody..." "You had someone particular in mind or what?" "Just a tiny bit of information." "Am I somehow involved?" "Say something!" "You're too nosy." "Do you have somebody in mind, or shall I pick the person?" "You... I'll get you out of this bad mood." "That's a nice kind of disorder, it is." "Nice to see you!" "Hi, Miloš!" "This vodka is real nice, order one more." "Which ones?" "Those ones?" "Wow, just look there!" "I really mean it, order another." "So finish this one and let's go." "Look, I've just spotted somebody." "Come on, turn around." "Won't you do me a favour?" "I'll do you this favour so that you won't say I'm not your friend." "What do you think?" "They'd be worth dying for, wouldn't they?" "Aren't they pretty?" "I've taken a real liking to them." "They look Polish, I can tell by the slim heels." "Pal'ko, what have you used for flambing the meal at table 3?" "Gin." "So, shall we give it a try?" "Your treat?" "Bye-bye, my friend!" "Going to get a little sleep." "No doubt you're afraid, since they are foreigners." "No reason to be afraid, no big deal." "You come to their table, say a few words in Polish..." "Remember the Turk by the name of Hailá?" "You ended up in a garage, but those Polish are worth trying!" "But then I had 100 korunas." "Look, I've got some money... I'll pay for it, you do the rest." "Remember, you arrange it, but involve me as well." "Wait..." "That's hard-earned money." " Make a bet or not?" " l do, I believe you." "So 50 korunas on the Polish." "Don't forget about tomorrow." "And I am waiting for all those..." "May I have a dance?" "Excuse me, I was asking you for a dance in Polish." "It's O.K." " Aren't you Polish?" " Do I look like one?" "Yes." "Exactly like the girls pictured in Polish magazines." "I have several such issues at home." "Anything else on your mind?" "No, my apologies." "I just wanted to have some fun." "Could you raise your right hand, please?" " l beg your pardon?" " Lift your right hand." "A bit lower." "Thank you, you've got a very well made suit." "is that so?" "You like it?" " Join us at the table, please." " So kind of you." "Thank you." " Enjoying ourselves." " Enjoying ourselves." "Here you are." "You are so attentive." "Thank you." "Now allow me to make a toast to your health." "See, Kvetinka really knows the ropes." "I've seen him drinking with both a garbage man and a minister." "A German came here once, they talked about laces..." "I think Slovakian laces it was..." " And what did he discuss with you?" " Who else, but the minister?" " Who else, but the minister?" " Once you'll have it." " Cheers." " Cheers." "What's wrong with you?" "Nothing, I'll see you off." "How does it feel to be in our biggest mountains?" "Fine." " For how long are you staying?" " Five days." " One week?" " Five days!" "Isn't it the same?" "Not to us." " Are you staying with a family?" " At the Grand Hotel!" "It must cost at least 60 - 70 korunas a day!" "Perhaps a double-bed room." "Each of us has a single room." "The rooms are very nice." "Antlers on the walls?" "For God's sake." "What, antlers?" "We have a superb bathroom, telephone, TV and all the rest." "Sounds very comfortable." "I have a pale blue bathroom, it's great." "And on the top of that we have a beautiful view of the mountains." "Aren't you amazed?" "Not to offend either of you..." "Pick one or the other!" "Let's toss a coin." " Tails?" " Heads." "Heads... tails." "Heads." " Well done." " Thank you." "Now I know." "Seems that daddy is at the ministry." "Wrong." "Take another guess." "How about the jackpot?" "28, 30, 42..." "Hardly." "The only option left is a grandma from America." "We have no relatives in the West, so we are in line." "In that case you live in a region where skilled labour is highly rewarded." "Or else...." "We flew by plane, to make your guesswork even harder." "In that case..." "Seriously, what do you actually do?" "Save." "No problem." "It's all right..." "Juice." "Will not damage the clothes." "Was it red wine, salt would prove useful." "One more spot on the pocket..." " ls this your first time here?" " Yah, my first time." "So watch the programme and don't disturb the others!" "How about a glass of cognac?" "Some of the rotgut that wanker spilled onto your lap." " l beg your pardon!" " Well, 2 glasses of that concoction." "It's called juice." "Have a third one." "Once again my apologies." "Enjoying yourselves?" "Why not?" "After a day-long of housework, why not have a dance with your own spouse." "We are entitled to it, aren't we?" "What's up?" "Madam, what's wrong with you?" "I saw it when I was a little boy." "I was punished for bad behaviour." "I thought you would start with love poems." "They are the ones to be adored." "Excuse me for interrupting you." "A message for you." " Can't wait to have you back home?" " lt's Lollobrigida, she misses me." "There he waves." "One to nil for you, gals." " Cigarettes!" " l'll fetch them." " Quite nice, isn't he?" " Don't be crazy." "You wanted to count my teeth, isn't it so?" "Just choose, a rib or teeth!" "Are you kidding?" "I would never do such a silly thing in my life." "You've just spoilt the fun at it's best." "Why haven't you introduced me to them!" "It would be quite normal to invite me to the table." "I don't feel like arguing about what is normal." "So give me the money back." "You're driving me mad." "No, gimme the money back, since I was sitting at the other table and you were fully absorbed, I was staring at you, but no reaction from your side." " Please don't..." " What's wrong?" "Your hair." "Have a look at yourself." " You can't join us in this state." " Just a moment." "Let me fix my hair." "What's up?" "Can't you see, what's going on?" "I'm in shape now." "Shall we go?" "Let's go." "Who pairs up with whom?" "We have to agree on that." "It was you who craved them, so there. lt's your money that's at stake, so you have a choice. I'm not the big boss here." "I can't choose. I wasn't even at the table." "Had you invited me, I'd be able to choose." "You know too well." "Of course." "Look..." "Do it like this..." "Leave me alone!" "I'd like to..." "You get the other one, I get the blond." "I don't mind." "All right, I get the..." "You asshole!" "How foolish of you." "Look, what you've done!" "Look how it's ended up" "You've screwed up everything." "This wasn't supposed to happen, was it?" "It's not my fault at all." "A large one for the trumpeter!" "Give me money." "I'd already told you that somebody was going to die here." "Don't intimidate me, just give me the money." "I couldn't enjoy myself, and now you won't give me the money back." "Ms Betka, be so kind..." "Kravárik, chocolate, there he is, Kravárik." "Look, I'll arrange for everything." "Don't make a fool of yourself, Cape Canaveral!" "Wait a minute!" "Wait a minute!" "Come on, three, two, one!" "I've invented this, as a matter of fact, along with a friend of mine who is now a University lecturer." "You know, I am such a Jack of all trades, and I'd like to give you a riddle." "Are the stars above real or painted ones?" "Over there?" "Yes please?" "Just a moment, I need to finish." "My friend would like to..." "We don't know each other." " My name is Kravárik." " Miloš." "Well, get out of here!" "Go fly a kite!" "Why not?" "No problem." " My cigarettes." " Aren't we in your way too?" "He has blanked out." "I nearly forgot." "May I introduce you to renowned Lollobrigida?" "My name is Miloš." "He's not as successful as Lollobrigida, but he is quite amusing." "To explain that, he is a fantastic lover of... jokes and ..." "Well, I could tell a joke, but it would sound inappropriate here." " Do you only know dirty jokes?" " lt's not that they are dirty." "People here can't listen to them." "Political, aren't they?" "That's right, such jokes can only be shared in private." "How about finding a place..." "Let's say..." "How about having a dance together?" "Can you dance?" "May I ask you for a dance?" "Come!" "Don't get upset, she does everything the other way round." "Who says I'm..." "What are you doing?" "Nothing..." " Some kind of a trick?" " This one hasn't turned out well, though." "Let me try." "Failed." "Construction profession is somehow... lt's a fiddle, isn't it?" "No." "Try and see for yourself." "We are not in construction." "I type, make coffee... impossible to do it." "Typewriter, coffee ... the Grand Hotel doesn't fit into the picture." " Seriously, what do you do?" " l've already told you." "I make coffee, write on a typewriter..." "Now it's you who have failed." "I am not in the construction business either." "And we save. I've already told you this." " Save?" " Why are you so inquisitive?" " Are you a "singer", or what?" " Why a "singer"?" "That's how we denote inquisitive people." "May I ask just one last question?" "Please do!" " Do you dance?" " Yes." " ls this seat empty?" " l don't speak Slovak." "All right, all right." "Difficult to communicate with." " lt's terribly hot in here, isn't it?" " How about some fresh air?" "Or a glass of beer?" "I know one such place." "There's even Pilsen beer available there." " Pilsen beer..." " l love it enormously." "Don't you believe it?" "We can check out the spot." "Let's go!" "It was an accident." "I'm sure. I know it very well." " You seem to know this place." " We installed gas piping here." "Who keeps opening this window?" "One can get ill here!" "Wait!" "is it yours?" " Cheers!" " Cheers!" "I can't any more." "Put it back in the fridge then." "I am terribly cold." "Let's go away!" "Put on my coat." "Have you gone out of your mind?" " Hey you!" " Me?" "What are you doing there, pionier?" "I am looking for a chief of the pioneer organisation." "I am Baláž, chief of a team." "Miloš, without any team." "What would you like to drink, Miloš?" "Just point your finger!" "Don't be shy, show me what you'd like." "Milk, sherbet and mineral water, with the latter being my first choice." "We drank those at summer camp." "Wait!" "Just a moment!" "Ms Betka!" "This one, ma'am!" " That's Martel!" " What?" "Thirty korunas!" "You're right, too cheap for a pioneer." " Anything more expensive?" " Napoleon." "Come here!" "Have you ever drunk Napoleon?" "And would you like to?" "Of course, I'd like to." "So come here." "Pour him some Napoleon." "Do you know how long it's been in the stockroom?" "Shall I pour one for you too?" "Just for the "pioneer"." "Wow, what a colour!" "To your good health!" "To your team!" "Shut up!" "So shall I drink or not?" "Drink!" "Cheers!" " Thank you." " Don't thank me!" "You are going to drink this bottle on your own." "But I don't have pesos..." " How much is it?" " Six hundred and ten." "What?" "Yikes!" "One needs to try out a variety of things to have something to remember." "Then it's supposedly easier for him to die." "What?" "Who's going to die here?" " What?" " Who dies?" "No idea." " Would you like a receipt?" " No, thank you." "Thank you kindly." "Wait!" "Not this way!" "The bottle's mine." "You come, ask for a glass, Ms Betka fills the glass." "So pour him the glass." "Won't it cause any trouble?" "May I really?" "Ms Betka, one more please..." " Beware, it's cognac." " lt doesn't matter." "Caution!" "is this all meant for me?" "Then I must..." "You aren't a local, are you?" "You know what?" "Get back to your flock!" "But may I then... come back at any time?" "I like you, I just can't stand your company for long." "So may I come later?" "Welcome, young friends." "How was the courtyard?" " Who's that guy?" " Who knows?" "Were you out rolling in the snow?" "Yes?" "For Christ's sake, forgive me." "Let's have a dance!" "What's going on?" "You attended school a long time ago, didn't you?" "Of course, it was a long time ago." "Still, I'm old enough, aren't I?" "One can tell." "Why do you think so?" "Well, one can tell." "But I didn't say anything awful." "Did I say something awful?" "May I?" "How about us?" "What do you have in mind?" "You've forgotten about one thing." " Me?" " The bottle." "Our friends are drinking together, so should we!" "It's not possible, he's forbidden us to." " ls my dress wrinkled?" " Can't see anything." " A little bit." " A lot?" "I told you a little bit." "Will anybody notice?" "I wouldn't recommend them to." "How badly wrinkled?" "Like that woman's over there?" " Something like that." " So it's noticeable." "Could be just due to sitting." "Let's get to the table." "Why, you wanted to dance." "I see, you find the music sad." "Maybe something more cheerful?" " Leave it here, Ms Betka." " As you like." "Ready?" "Come on!" "I don't want to dance!" "Truly I don't!" " What's wrong with you?" " Nothing, I just don't feel like dancing." "So what's going on with you?" "I've requested this piece of music for you... I really don't feel like dancing." "Are you angry with me?" "Not at all, I just don't feel like dancing." "O.K. then." "Come on!" "I don't want to!" "There's still another piece I can do." "Let me show you!" "Good, you are coming." "You must help me." "I need to redirect that guy's attention from the bottle." "So that I can..." "So what will you have?" "Cognac, vodka?" "What would we do there?" "I don't want anything." "For God's sake, what's eating you?" "I don't feel like...." "He'll look over here, and I'll get it." "What in fact are you after?" "I'd rather sit down." "Your dress is not wrinkled at all!" " l know." "That's not the point." " So what are you getting at?" "All right, all right..." "What do you actually want?" "Nothing!" "Look, Olina is sitting on her own." "And so what?" "We came together, so we should sit together, so that she's not alone." " Embarrassing..." " Embarrassing." "She wants to have some fun as well." "Dancing is fun too." "Not for her, since she's alone." "I see, Olinka wants to have some fun." "You've already had fun, haven't you?" "I almost managed to get hold of it!" "Well, Olinka wants to have some fun." "Come on!" "It's for Olinka." "Miloško has had one for me, hasn't he?" "The two of them have spoilt the entire operation." "The ring is free!" "The first round!" " Miloško, gimme your hand!" " Why, it's not my idea of fun." " No, I've got sweaty hands." " Why not just wipe them?" "Let's wipe Miloško's hand." "The gong has signalled the first round," "Miloško's ready..." "Kvetinka is ready as well," "Miloško in the heavy weight category, Kvetinka in the light weight category." "Miloško puts forth..." "A small refreshment... ls that all you are able to do?" "Wait, you can't do this." "I can still do some other tricks." "Tricks with a razor-blade, fantastic tricks with cigarettes." "I'm able to balance a glass on the tip of my finger..." "To entertain Olinka, I could imitate a hippo." "Choose some nice performance for Olinka's benefit." "Try to say something nice." "Say something nice." "Come on, say it." "Of course I can, why not?" "Had we drunken more... ls Olinka having enough fun?" "This is beyond my apprehension." "Old iron displayed on the wall, and at our construction site the windows lie about in the mud." "Don't you see, this is a piece of art." " Which one?" " This one here." "is this supposed to be art?" "Not only that, people even like it - to the extent of stealing it!" " They've already swiped 2 pieces." " Can something like that be stolen?" "I wouldn't even put it up in my toilet." "Come please." "Come on." "So I was staring and..." "Here you are." "Cheers." "This is lovely." "Mr Bigshot." "Just compensating for his insecurities." "Don't you like it?" "It's great." "To your feet, may they dance lightly and easily." "What a venturer!" "Whipping out his money!" "At any rate, nobody forces them to drink it!" "Just a moment, wait there!" "I can't see that, what's up?" "Bottoms up!" "One more still!" "So..." "Menagerie." " You're not taking part in it." " Not in this one!" " Thank you." " You are welcome." "He'll remember this for the rest of his life." "Like a high roller!" "Has to borrow to buy cigarettes before pay day." "Where does he get the money from?" "He saves and squirrels it away." "Isn't it so, Mirka?" "He looks like an ordinary man." "Shall we dance together?" "At your service!" "What did I do to them?" "I just talked to them, nothing else." "They probably wanted to talk to each other in private." "Why did they come to a bar then?" " They have worries of their own." " Of what kind?" " Today is their son's wedding day." " Why aren't they attending?" "Because Holub Senior doesn't agree with the marriage." "Why?" "It's a long story." "You wouldn't believe me, anyway." "By now, I'd believe anything." "So why?" "I don't believe anything any longer." "Come on, why?" "I'll tell you." "After the war, Holub came home in a fabulous jeep, wearing a splendid uniform, with lots of bubble gum..." "He spent the war in Asia or Africa." "In a place called Tobruk." "He was promoted to major, and then sacked from the army." "And then they apologised to him." "Do you know him?" "No, this is the first time I've seen him." "Or you could have heard about him." "His son didn't study, he's a sole trader and today he's getting married." "Ms Betka, that liquor..." "He who drinks, needs to pee, isn't it so?" "How about his son?" "He is marrying the daughter of his father's best friend." "They were fellow soldiers in Tobruk." "A salute to their honour!" "End of the story." "I still don't understand why then...?" "Nobody can understand." "Holub Sr. believes there shouldn't be so many people from Tobruk in the family." "Two grandpas, Holub Jr., and now grandchildren will be "locals of Tobruk"." "See the point?" "I see." "That's great!" "Look, he's roaring with laughter." "None of your business." "You're allergic to everyone and everything." "Me?" "Everybody's been picking on me for twenty years now, and..." "Please don't!" "I don't feel like staying here." "Why are we here tonight?" "Please, don't start!" "It's ridiculous, to work for one year, and then to have fun for five days." " But it's worth it." " l can imagine." " ln the morning..." " l don't need to get up, nor go to work, nobody wakes me up, I can rest..." "Then comes breakfast..." "Not so quickly, though." "First of all we consult with Ol'ga on the phone what to order for breakfast." "One time eggs, and the next time ham, sometimes both." "Eggs are delicious." "And then you go for a walk, don' you?" "Then lunch, and a walk again..." "Well, a walk, the hairdresser." "We'll dress up, then go for lunch together... lf you have the money, why not?" "Nobody rushes us to work, hurry up, hurry up!" "After lunch, a pastry, am I right?" " With whipped cream..." " Twenty students, eyes wide open, unable to get up the courage..." "Have you seen us?" "No, I was at work." "Ol'ga has your sweater on, and you're wearing her skirt." " You have a sister, haven't you?" " No, I am the only child in the family." "Do you find us ridiculous?" "Not at all, everybody has their own idea of a nice life." "And how about evenings?" " After dinner." " ln the evenings?" "We book a table by phone." "Then we come for dinner, order wine, let a chef recommend something to eat." "Yesterday we were sitting at that table." "Over there?" "I wouldn't spot you there." "You can't see over there from the bar counter." "Nonetheless you weren't here yesterday." "Therefore there was nobody here to walk you home, was there?" "Had Miloš been aware of your presence here, indeed he would..." "Gracious me!" "Who will then make repairs for me?" "An eye-opener, isn't it?" "Nice." "Shall we have it?" "We'll see." "I like it enormously." "I can do it myself." "No, let me do it." "Just a moment." "Don't spill it. lt would be a pity." "Bottoms up, Olinka." " Nice aroma." "Does aroma matter?" "Hurry up, drink it... lt can' be drunk so hastily." "It's like Fernet Stock." "Lovely colour." "What colour?" "Mine didn't have any colour either." "Hurry up!" "Does it suit your taste?" "Yah." "is there more of it!" "You'd buy a round for the whole pub on my account?" "That I dislike strongly." "That doesn't concern you, young lady, but this guy   what's his name... "Pionier"..." ""Pionier" didn't keep his promise." "I hate that!" "Haven't I already asked for that bottle?" "Hey, Miloško, come and sit here!" "Well, I'll make 2 coffees to sober you." "Do I deserve it?" "Come, have the coffee." "Will you help him?" "Thank you." "There you go!" "I'll wait for you, and then..." "Go!" "Adrift." " Leave it there." " Sit down!" "Shut up!" "Will you have cognac?" "Ms Betka, cognac!" " Becherovka!" " A bottle of champagne!" "Turpentine!" " What did you say?" " Turpentine." "Use it to flush your brain then!" "Very whitty!" "Idiots!" "Any male, seeing a single-handed woman, believes they can use her." "An instant hero!" "I considered smacking his face." "Are you also such a hero?" "Just a moment, ladies." "Kvetinka will put it right." "Why are you doing it?" "Let's pay and go home." "Out of the question, they might have a fight." "May I join you at the table, Mr Friendly?" "Why not?" "Nobody else is sitting here." "You're a stranger here, aren't you?" "Sort of unfamiliar with the situation..." "uninitiated into our affairs." "I'd like to tell you, how much things here could be improved, I'd even dare to..." "use a dim glass... or somewhere from the corner..." "Occupying my seat again, Mr Kravárik?" " lt was empty." " Beat it!" "You're behaving like a hockey fan." "is it taken?" " What would you like to drink, my boy?" " Not till we settle." "I'm asking you, what you'd like to drink?" "I want to buy you one, and you turn me down." "Your friend could have said the same." "Then it would be a reciprocal give-and-take situation, resulting in..." "How about the bottle?" "What shall we do with it?" " You've insulted that girl!" " Me?" "I've just offered cognac to her." "It was the guys next to me, square accounts with them." "Those two over there, see?" "So, will you take the bottle along with you?" "And tell the girl not to be cross with me." "Aw, you'll massacre them." "Let a waiter bring the bottle!" "O.K. then, taken care of." "What's up?" " We would normally say "excuse me"!" " Pardon me." "Louder!" " Pardon me!" " That's better!" "Finished!" "He gives his kind regards to you, asking you to forgive him." " Via a messenger." " Begs your pardon!" "Could have done it in person." "What will be next?" "As for the rest, we'll square outside later." "One by one." "I'll help you right away." "Let's do it now." "Mr Baláž is sending this, as agreed." "So you won't be angry at him any longer." "At least a certain consolation." "Better than a quarrel, isn't it?" "And ending up somewhere..." "at the police station." "Excuse me, I had no idea..." "Splendid!" "I've never ever seen anything like that in my life before." "One of them ended up under the table, the other one on the top of the former..." "Marvellous!" "Hands up, buffoon." "Aren't you a bit pale?" " Water, soda..." " Ladies." "Thanks a lot." "Tomorrow we go home." "Wait a minute, comrades!" "Not this way!" "Once you've agreed to our visit, you should let us in." "I certainly will, but in an orderly manner." "Keep order!" "Order must be maintained here." "No shoving, we're not in the village square." "Just peek in, and there's no more!" "Keep silent, please!" "You'll scare the guests away!" "Don't be silly, it's no use." "Let me be." "I'm not willing to play a part in your theatrical performance." "Forget the buffoon!" "What have I done to outrage you?" "I don't care about your complexes." "Then you'll be sitting over soda and bread, remembering how Miloš got drunk, how we met, how the buffoon entertained you..." "Stop it!" "... what we did in the courtyard, drinking beer and the rest." "Enough to feed your memories for the next two years." "Foul-mouth!" "So, have all of you taken a look?" " Are you happy?" " Definitely yes!" " All of us are coming this Wednesday." " Will there be girls around?" "Yah." "We are full." "Not an empty seat left." "I'm sorry, now it's impossible." "Not to speak of this crowd of onlookers." "is Marián Labuda here?" "He always takes off!" "... seven, eight, nine..." "sixteen, seventeen..." "Where's Marián?" "...eighteen, nineteen, twenty..." "Fernet Stock, liquor?" " Coffee." " Coffee?" "Three whiskeys, please." "Why's your friend so sad?" "A headache?" "It will pass." "When she gets married." "Are you married?" "I asked whether you were married." "No?" "What's your job?" "What do you do?" "What's your profession?" " Here you are." " Thank you." "A student?" "A doctor?" "A shop assistant?" "It's not watered down." "I am a salesman." "Do you know the play by Arthur Lumen..." "Arthur Miller about a salesman?" "Travelling by car." "Trading?" "You?" "I sell textiles, liquors, pullovers, champagne, chocolate... by car." "I travel all around the world." "Can you drive a car?" "Me?" "A car?" "But you can drive, can't you?" "O.K., my car is at your service." " 110,40 korunas." " Here you are." " 1 10?" " That's right." "A bit too much, isn't it?" "This is an expensive place." "Why are you so generous all of a sudden?" "Why are we paying 110 korunas?" "I've charged you the correct amount." "O.K. What did we have?" "Eight juices." "Can't cost 110 korunas." "Your husband might be able clarify it." "What do you have against my husband?" "Nothing personal, but..." "Shall I call your boss so you can explain what you have against my husband?" "Calm down, I am paying the bill!" "Your husband had a gin in each glass of juice." "Pal'o, is that true?" "A gin in each juice at your request?" " Yah." " Why not let him enjoy it?" "Don't stick up for him, he's not your brother!" "Don't you know?" "He's an alcoholic who has just finished rehab!" "I don't want to make a scene, but any woman would in my place." "Conversely, I'm too decent despite your misconduct." "I'll leave you, I've already told you three times, but this time I'll pack up and you'll never see me again." "Don't telex me, don't call me, I don't want to see you again." " Madam, don't do that!" " You Tobruk loony!" " Don't worry, my spouse is the same." " Leave me alone!" "But you'll have one more drink with me..." "Not me." "Here you can, not me, I'm sensitive to it." "Then I don't feel..." "That wild scene has scared your friend off." "Your friend disappeared." "So what, Mr Kvetinka?" "Now we shall juice up." "Starting with Napoleon." "Agreed?" "We've had a good start." "The only outstanding issue is báèi Napoleon." "What is báèi?" "Those onions look terrible!" "Dirty, nasty!" "But they are from Switzerland." "I can see." "What are you doing?" "Don't you know that each cup is served with two sugars?" " l wasn't aware of it." " Were not aware... I can remember that after the affair with that German girl you made a resolution..." "Now I am seriously interested." "I saw you in the courtyard." "You still owe two beers." "I'll pay the next time, the payroll... I can't understand what females like about you." "Women!" "Come here!" "Would he be worth the sin?" "Don't be shy!" "Who knows." "Unfathomable females." "Two per cup!" "Aren't you able to count one, two?" "I am!" "One, two..." "How much do you want in return?" " Five hundred." " What?" " Five or six hundred." " Six?" "Here you are!" "One, two, three!" " That's not enough, we've..." " Do you want them or not?" "May I join you at the table?" "Good evening." "My name is Kravárik." "I'm not paying for anybody." "That's not the point, I'll pay for myself." "I am interested in your... view." "When drinking, I don't talk politics." "Tell me, why people can't just get along with each other?" "Because they can't keep their traps shut." "Not all of them talk rubbish." "For many years now I've been bothered with one... idea." "People don't have ideas, and if, then... ln Tobruk we  used to send those mother fuckers..." "and now what?" "Were you rewarded well at that time?" "If they don't pay you well, what then?" "I'm very well paid." "I'm making this idea a reality." "Before the war I was nobody, but in Tobruk my name rang a bell." "Prior to that I only knocked pegs into the earth." "Then came the war and the pegs have since decayed." " l'll leave traces of my work behind..." " Nothing." "It means that something remains in this world after I die." "Nothing will be left, but a written off major from Tobruk." "Something will be left behind me." "What will be left?" " May I tell you?" " Please do." "Can you see those towns?" "They are not lit now, but once they are..." "Viewed from this angle, colours will stand out." "Europe, it's surroundings, the rocket." "I've invented it all." "Everybody likes it." "And how about you?" "Are you an electrician?" "I was formerly, now I do this kind of stuff." "Be so kind... my mum at home... has a vacuum cleaner in disrepair." "Could you repair it?" "Cleaner?" "And how about Europe, little towns..." " Ms Betka!" " Yes!" "You seem to have won the lottery." "What would you like to have?" "What do you think I'll have?" "You have enough money, I have no idea." " Napoleon." " O.K. One?" " The whole bottle." " The whole bottle?" "In that case you haven't won enough." "But maybe we could" " just add it to..." " No way." "...my tab." "We already have too debit items on record." "Couldn't you just fix it?" "Can't you have something cheaper instead?" "No, because I need the bottle." "But it's just a half of the amount." "Now we have the whole amount." "Let's opt for running a tab." "A bottle of Napoleon for the gentleman." " Only now it's become a safe order." " Thank you, Mr Venturer." "No need to thank me, I'm ordering for myself." "I like to take, but not from you!" "I'm glad that not from me." "Nowadays everybody is eager to take, so you act the same!" "Let's agree on running a tab." "300 and 350 Napoleon!" "Drink, friend!" "Do me a favour, drink!" "Maestro, thank you." "I'm not willing to take part in your circus!" "Everybody is eager to take, so you take as well." "I ask you kindly!" " Ms Betka, we've agreed." "It's been paid for." "In that case Ms Betka, let it flow!" "Pour it out!" "Pour it out!" "And you die of thirst!" "What a waste, Mr Baláž." "Extra fifty korunas, and do empty it out." "Have you ever seen anybody dump out Napoleon?" "Bravo, Mr Baláž!" "Mr Kvetinka, bravo!" "I'm ready." "Do you like me?" "Come on!" "Have a look." "Don't be so bullheaded." " What's up?" " We have no Napoleon." "We'll get Napoleon." " We won't!" " As long as I am here..." " Since I'm a screwball!" " So you are, but... how much?" "So much." "A trifle." "Oli, give me 200 korunas." "What for?" "I need them. 200 korunas." "Are you serious?" "I won't give you 200." "I need them." "What for?" "Just need them!" "What do you need them for?" "It's none of your business." "It's my dough, so give it to me!" "It's also my money." "We haven't been saving all year so that I can give you the 200." "I want to enjoy it." "Tomorrow I won't go anywhere." "We're going home." "Are you joining me?" "I want 200 korunas." "I don't want to go home." "I won't give it to you, come to your senses!" " Give it to me right now!" " l won't!" "I saved all year, not going to the cinema, not wasting money." "And how about me?" "I was stuck at home all year, only to give you 200 korunas?" "Tomorrow I'm not going anywhere!" "And what shall I do?" "You can go somewhere, I don't care." "What for?" "We only have 200 per day." "We have even more!" "Have you salted some money away?" "No, but give me the 200!" " l won't!" " Give it to me!" " l won't!" " Olina, give me the money!" "No way I give you the 200!" "Give me the dough!" "Come home and stop being hysterical." "I'm not hysterical!" "What do you want it for?" "It's my business!" "Do you want to drink it all away with that buffoon?" "He's not a buffoon, and on top of that, it's not your..." " lsn't he a buffoon?" " Give me the money!" "He's been acting silly all evening, and you'd give him 200 korunas, instead of him paying for you!" "He paid too!" " Give me the 200 korunas!" " l won't!" "I'll take it!" "I'll hurt you!" " What do you intend to do?" " l'll take it from you!" "I'll slap you in the face a few times and drag you home crying!" "You nasty thing..." "Fowers like on May 1st." "O.K. Three, please." "All that's nice and good comes in threes." "is it O.K.?" "Thank you." " Here you are." " Thank you." "Nice, aren't they?" "Just for you." "Not there, this is the right spot." " This way, right?" " Don't be angry." "Are you ready to order?" "This is the fourth time I've asked you." "I don't remember us being on such familiar terms with each other." "If waiting at each table took so long..." "You'll just have to wait!" "And lit this cigarette!" "We want to have some fun!" "Here you are." "And what are you drinking?" "A lot!" "What's this?" "Get it away!" "A canteen-like tablecloth." "is this supposed to be dinner?" "Take it away!" "An empty bottle!" "Excuse me, may I ask a question?" " You're invited!" " What's the time?" "You know what?" "Go and fetch three bottles of cooled champagne." "Move!" " Three?" " Three!" "Will that be enough?" "As you please!" "No chance to drink them all." "They'll be here and that's an end of it!" "We'll serve a round, or splash Comrade Napoleon." "Guys!" "Be so kind and wet your whistles!" "And a special treat for you." "Allow me, pal, to... because a trumpet is... my love." "See?" "Trumpet is..." "Once upon a time, you might not believe it, I... the first trumpeter..." "You're a fellow trumpeter!" "Not to that extent, but once I..." "C note, Gentlemen!" "Cheers!" "Cheers." "At one time I used to ..." "C note." "Guys!" "May I play C note?" "I played it as the first trumpeter at the firemen's ball!" "Don't worry, I can master it." "Don't worry, I can master it." "C note." "And what?" "For everyone..." "A bottle of cognac for everybody." "Leave it at that!" "No, I must... that C tone." "Let's dance." " How about him?" " The one with the trumpet?" " Everything's all right." " Settled?" "Certainly yes!" "What a take for today!" "Silence!" "Pals, C note." "Why so imperious?" "Enough is enough." "Finito, home, nice, home, get some sleep..." "Nice to meet you." "Go home." "Get some nice sleep." "Come on, come on..." "Who are you?" "No, wait please..." "Here you are, here's 100 korunas." "It might prove handy for you tomorrow." "Call the police, please." "What for?" "You'll go home on your own." "I'm not going anywhere!" "Call the police!" "I'm not going anywhere!" "C tone!" "Careful you don't knock anyone down accidentally." " Let's go home!" " Mother, is it you?" "Yes, I'm so glad to be here." "Can you imagine?" "Put this on!" "Here it is!" "Put on your scarf!" "It's cold outside!" "Where have you misplaced it?" "Thank you." "Here you are, honey." "What a pace!" " Thanks!" " Welcome!" " Many thanks." " Shall we go?" "Mother, I'll not freeze with you at my side." "You bet." "Come!" "The fighting at Tobruk is nothing compared to the coming battle." "Good bye." "Good bye." "Have a pleasant evening." "Shall I drag you the whole way home?" "We've wetted our whistles, no need to spare the vocal cords!" "But I do the second verse." "Can't you sing the second one?" "Cheers!" "And when they kill you, they'll bury you." "They'll plant a green lily on your grave." "So we don't only drink, but also learn!" "Did you get the second verse?" "So both verses from the beginning!" "Mr Baláž is sending this." " Take it away!" " lt's been paid for!" "Paid for?" "Cheers." "Why are you staring at me?" "It's too difficult for you." "I want C tone!" "What's up, don't you feel well?" "What are you doing there, mister?" "What are you doing there?" "Look, how he's opening the head." "If stupid heads were cut open like this, a lot would be revealed!" "You must look for the fault in Vietnam!" "It's in Vietnam!" "If the wiring is O.K., then everything is O.K." "If only it blinked a bit, but nothing at all." "Gracious me!" "They're painting here!" "Hello, dear friends!" "I'm as fresh as a daisy!" "Olinka, you've somehow gotten more beautiful." "It's none of your business!" "Why?" "Tell me, what's up?" "Look to the right!" "So what's going on here?" "Which one?" " The one over there." " O.K." "So what's the problem with you, my friend?" "My friend, lock me up." "You've drunken a bit and you want to go with us?" " No, you must put me in jail." "" " But what have you done?" "What have I done?" "I've drunken away the payrolls of my friends." "Anybody could say that." "You have nowhere to sleep, right?" "I shall sleep in your place." "We are not a hotel." "Here you go, go home." "But you enforce the law!" "And I have lost my friends' payrolls in drink." "What made you to do that?" "Stop kidding!" "Are we to be blamed because of this tip-happy guy?" "You're obstructing the enforcement of the law!" "Aren't you scared?" "This could cost you fifty korunas." "Why have you done that?" "I wanted to find out how it feels to have a lot of money." "So tell me why?" "I wanted to show people a good time." "Are you crazy, or what?" "It's not the first time that money was splashed about." "Let's go!" "Let's go, shall we?" "No more drinks will be served!" "We're just about to close, I'm sorry." "Can't you see, we're closing the cash register" " Shall we walk them to the hotel?" " Of course!" "I've got a bottle with me, we could sit down somewhere and..." "What?" "We're leaving, see ya!" "Bye!" "What shall we do now?" " Give it to me!" " What do you want?" "Gals!" "Here you go." "Bye!" "Come!" "Let's go to bed!" "How sweet of you!" "Playing the high roller at my expense!" "When will you give me back those fifty korunas?"
