"Good morning." "You brats!" "B R A T S" "Written by" "Script cooperation" "Directed by" "Goal!" "Why aren't you catching..." "Get out!" "I'll kill you!" "Look, look, look..." "Look, look, look..." "His bike is broken." "Hello, hello, hello." "Hello, why are you saying it three times?" " Me?" " Who then?" "Mum said that it's better to greet someone three times than not at all, since we're new here." "Well, that's true." "How do you like it here?" " Here?" " No, not right here, but in your house, in the village and so on." " All right, except that..." " School, eh?" " How do you know?" " I know everything." " How many brothers do you have?" " Three." "So many?" "You didn't look like that many." " Me, Lukáš and Matìj, three." " I see now." "OK, but now could I get by?" " Yay, thank you." " So you don't have to push it." " But have your dad fix it right." " OK, thank you." "Bye." "Or rather good-bye, good-bye, good-bye." "Ride carefully." " Leave me alone." " Come here, you bastard." " Why are you fighting again?" " Dad, he's hitting me." "Cut it out, you troublemaker." "Come on, leave him alone." "Grab your bikes and rush home, you're late anyway." "Put the bikes in the shed" "and make sure you wash, especially you, Franta." "LISTEN TO YOUR DAD WATER THE FLOWERS" " Don't you have a watch?" " Yeah." "Wiping your hands on your sweatshirt?" "There's a towel here." " There isn't." " No?" "Here it is, someone must have put it there, eh?" " Get out!" " Don't stuff yourselves." " Supper's almost ready." " So early?" " You took them all, you butthead." " No I didn't, you butthead." "Guys, guys, you're not gonna talk like that in here!" "Come for a cookie." "Where's your helmet?" "What are you doing to him, take it off please." "Don't put it there, can't you see that I'm starting dinner." " Where's your helmet?" " Me?" "Please, stop fooling around, I mean the blue bike helmet that you were so carried away by for a whole week." " The blue one was always mine!" " The red one then." " Lukáš get the plates ready." " Why me?" " And turn the TV off." " The red one has been Matìj's." " Have you got it or not?" " I don't have the red one." "So it's the silver one, at least I hope so." "And stop being so smart, I don't know what to do first." "I forgot it." "Hop on your bike and get it before someone nicks it." "Come on, supper's almost ready." " His bike's also smashed again." " Don't tell me that, grab the vacuum and get on with it." " What am I supposed to vacuum?" " Mum called to say that" "Matìj will be released, so they might come home tomorrow." "That's just great;" "why me again, it's not fair." "Come on, everything's unfair to you." " It's like a pigsty in here." " And bring it in one piece." "Mom'll really let us have it." " What happened to the vacuuming?" " All right." " Good afternoon, good afternoon..." " Hell of a good afternoon to you." "Do you think that you can break decent people's cars;" "smashing windows just for fun?" "I'll teach you a lesson..." " Daddy!" " Stop, you hear me, stop!" "I'll take you to the police station, you gypsy bastard!" "Daddy, Daddy!" "Hurry up, damn it!" "You said yourself that you hadn't seen anyone." "Sit down and shut up." "Daddy, help, help!" "Daddy, help!" "Why are you crying, what's up?" " He was choking me." " Who was choking you?" " This man." " Why was he choking you?" " I dunno." " And where is this man?" " There." " Let's go, then." " No, I don't want to." " Come on." "Don't be afraid." "I'm with you, come on." " This man was strangling you?" " Yeah." " Good afternoon." " Now listen here..." " Could you explain yourself?" " How do you like this?" " That little black brat did it." " Watch your language, sir." " Go to Lukáš." " That black brat broke my window." "How dare you speak like that about my son?" " It was him who did it." " Gentlemen, please..." "That black bastard of yours broke my car window." "I'm reporting it to the police." "It'll cost at least ten thousand." "You're not going to talk like this about my František, or I'll go to the police and report you." "Why didn't you tell me that you broke his car?" " I didn't break any car." " Go inside." " Kiss my ass." " You asshole." "What about the teeth?" "Yes." "And feet?" "Yes." "OK then." "Lukáš, sorry for the slap but you cannot talk like that even if you feel you're right." "And you, Franta, are you sure you didn't break it?" " No..." "I mean yes." " Do you know anything about it?" "No, I don't understand why you keep blaming us." "We're telling you for the hundredth time." "I'm not blaming you for anything." "I just want to make sure." "It's strange how sure that Barták is." " And of course I know you." " That's not fair." "Everything's unfair to you." "Franta, have you found the helmet?" " No, it wasn't there." " Great." "That's another thousand down the drain." "You'll have to go there and look for it." " Boys..." " Yeah." " We'd not tell mum anything." " What do you mean?" "My god, what do you think?" "We're not gonna tell her about Barták and how he threatened you, and that I almost had a fight with him." "You know how quickly mum gets nervous from these problems." "If you see that Barták around, better avoid him." " And don't say a word to Matìj." " Sure." "Why?" "Because he'd blab everything to mum, and this way it's just among the three of us." "It's kind of a secret, OK?" "Dad, why am I..." " What?" " A gypsy." "There's nothing wrong with being a gypsy." "Why isn't Lukáš one?" "You got him from a children's home, too." " But he's also half..." " I'm not." " You are." "That's not true." "I'm no gypsy, I'm Czech." " Only half." " It's not true!" " Calm down, boys, stop it." "Get under the covers and go to sleep." "Good night." "Daddy, why can't I have yellow hair like Matìj?" " Because you'd look like a moron." " You're a moron yourself." " Shut up." " You shut up." " Shut up." " Shut up yourself." " Shut up, I'm telling you." " Shut up yourself." " Shut up." " Shut up." " You shut up." " You shut up." " Shut up." " You shut up." " Shut up." " You shut up." " Shut up." " You shut up." "Mummy!" "Hi, Franta, hello." "You're my best mum;" "Franta likes you so much." "Have you brought me anything?" "Hey Matìj." " Here you go." " Gee, thank you." " I likes you, too." " You mean 'like'." "They jabbed me and I didn't cry at all." " And I mustn't get upset, too." " Did it hurt?" " No." "They were sticking something in here, and I didn't cry." "That's because you were asleep." " And I have this huge bubble." " That's cool." " Thanks, I didn't have this one." " Finally, you can go home now." " Good afternoon." " Finally, you're back." "Your husband was rather rushed all the time." "Hi, hello." "Here you go." "Let's go." "I'm so looking forward to home." "How many marks have you got, big guy?" " Me?" " Yeah, you." " He spilt something on himself." " I spilt something on myself." " Yesterday..." " What happened yesterday?" "Good afternoon." "What?" "No good afternoon?" "I asked you something!" "Why don't you answer them?" "Have you got a problem with them?" "You've been away for a week, hmm?" " Hi." " Hi." " I'm not gonna say hi." " Have they done anything to you?" "Well, I'm not gonna say hi to them because they're pigs." "They dig through the junk over here then take it home." " I'd never do that." " Because we buy you everything." " Yuck." " Yuck." "Me neither do it." "Yesterday you drank for a puddle." "Hello, hello, hello." "Hello, Míša." "Míša..." "Matìj, don't go too close to him." "Good afternoon, Mrs. Vránová." " Hold on, I can't hear you." " Why don't we have a dog?" "You know we can't - Matìj's allergies." "But it's so cute." "Good afternoon." "Hello, so you're back, that's good." " What's wrong with the boy?" " They're not quite sure." "He's hypersensitive, mustn't get upset." " What are you saying?" " That they're not sure." "He mustn't get upset, or he'll start suffocating again." "Well, well, it's better not to see doctors, right." "If I had been seeing them, I wouldn't be here any more." "The main thing is you're home." "We should be going too." "Míša!" " She's cool, isn't she?" " Who is?" "Her, living all alone." "I'm surprised she's not afraid." " What should she be afraid of?" " Aliens, for instance." " I'm not afraid of them." " You are afraid." "Better change your nappies, I think you wet them." " Still afraid of that twerp?" " Nonsense, baloney, bullshit." " What is that?" " This." " What is that 'twerp'?" " That's Franta." "A twerp has big... big burps." " You are twerp." " You're both twerps." " You're a twerp, you baby." " We're all three twerps." "It's so beautiful here." "Well, nobody's raked the leaves, of course." "This quiet." "It's beautiful." " Hi, Dad." " Hi, boys." " Hi, Dad." " Hello." "They jabbed me and I didn't cry at all." "You did well." "Mum gave me her slippers and they're almost too small for me." " Guess what's new?" " That we're five again." "Here's my briefcase, but don't open it yet." " Why?" " Because." " Hello, what an honour." " Hi." "What's for supper?" "We've been fine." "Franta and Lukáš did great, so there was no problem." " Really?" " Oh yeah." "I can't believe it, especially since Lukáš has three marks from school." " Just two." " Three." "You didn't tell me." "Pass me a beer, please." "Only two, and some extra work, but totally undeserved." "Matìj, take a pill." "OK, we know that unfairness." "I said you should check their evaluation books." "Monika, I'm glad we did at least this well." "We had hotdogs with ketchup all the time, yum." " Yum." " The boys did great, almost." "Really, you didn't fight at all?" "That would surprise me." " Not us, Dad did." " Stop fooling." "Give it to me, that's not a toy." "What, you had a fight?" " You know Franta, don't you?" " You know Franta, Mum." " I got confused, Mum." " You're a little scatterbrain." "Yup." "Matìj did good, too." "And now we have the inhaler, so I don't have to worry about him wheezing at night." "I can leave you alone and go out to have fun." "Well, would you like to have fun here, too?" " Look boys, guess what I have?" " Something." " Come on, it's a game, isn't it?" " A game?" " What game?" " Educational." " No!" " But fun." " Yeah!" "Don't trample over the beds." "I've just put on clean sheets." " It worked, huh?" " Hmm." "Pity you didn't bring something for me, too." " I need a big pan." " We'll get a pan, too." " I'd like to see that." " You will." " Hold on." " No." " Stop it." " Don't worry." "We haven't seen each other for a week, and the boys are gonna be busy with the computer." " There is no game." " Just some German nonsense." "Nonsense, maloney, bullet." "Marek!" " What are you thinking about?" " Just thinking." "About what?" " How to say 'Hoover' in German." " What?" "Hold on, quiet." "Dammit!" "Now that we have 'winter' in the last frame, what shall we put into the first frame?" " Spring." " Very good." "Children, put 'spring' into the first frame." "Spring is in the first frame, and 'winter' in the last frame." "What shall we have in the next frame?" "I forgot how to write capital 's'." "Don't lean the chair." " What comes after spring?" " Holidays, hooray." "So it's not enough that you're sitting in the corner?" "Do I mark your evaluation book or throw you out of class?" " Out of class." " Hold on!" " Sit down and do your assignment." " Shall I hold on or sit down?" "If you were this rude in Prague, no wonder you had to move." "But you are going have to stop it." "At home you'll do this, this, this and this exercise, and you'll have your parents sign." "You'll be spend your breaks in my office." "Get up, give me your evaluation book." " What goes in the next frame?" " Fart." "That 'F' will go in your evaluation book." "I bet your Mom'll be happy." "Hooray, I get sweets for every F and chocolates for each bad mark." " Now we'll have a break." " Finally." "Take your things and come with me." "I made you coffee." "Does it really work?" "You put the evaluation book in front of you, repeat my 'our father' and your wish will come true." " Really?" "Everything?" " You bet." " And how does it go?" " Listen." "Amen spirit, fart and hear it." "This place is off-limits for darkies and fatsos during break." " Hey, dudes." " Hey, man." " What're you doing here, man?" " I'm shitting and I'm gonna shit for the whole break." "What're you doing here, get lost." " Get out." " Don't have a shitfit." "Hi, hi, hi." " Come on." " I can't." "I gotta go to the loo." "Hi." " This is my brother." " Hi." "I know." " How come?" " I'm not stupid." "I see." "That's Mum." " I know that, too." " How come you know?" "They come to pick you up, don't they?" "They talk about you in the village shop." "Hi, Mum." "This is my best friend." "He knows stuff." "Can he come, he'll teach me stuff." "Hello." "I can't." " You can if you like." " I've got to go." "Look there's Lukáš." "I have a friend here, too." " Come here, Mum." " What're you doing, Franta?" "Better control him." "I've paid two fines twice because of him." "I'll squeeze you till you're blue." "How dare you talk to me like that?" "Me 'dare'?" "!" "You're the one who's out of line!" "You brought your gypsy pests." "They'll vandalize and steal everything, those black bastards." "I'll make you pay until you're blue." "Get out of here, go back to Canada, go to hell." " Would you like some, Dad?" " No, thank you, you have it." " I prefer my spaghetti plain." " Dad didn't do anything." "He just didn't want you to worry." " Yeah." " Get on with the food." "Dammit." "I hope you'll be fair like you want it from others." " Fuck." " Mum, that's a bad word." "Better keep quiet, if I were you." "Before it becomes dangerous here." "It's already dangerous, in case you don't get it." "Monika!" "Monika, open the door, we should be able to talk about certain things." "You didn't think so on Monday when I arrived." "I thought we could talk, all the more about such serious things." "What were you thinking, keeping it secret with the boys?" "Did you think we weren't gonna run into that scum, that disgusting racist?" "You go to work in the morning but I'm here 24 hours a day." "Don't yell, you'll wake the boys up." "You so thoughtful, just not with me." "Moni, I am sorry, I didn't realise." " May I come in now?" " I don't know." "Excuse me." " Why didn't you tell me?" " I don't know." "I didn't want you to be disappointed again, to worry." "And then I forgot, too." "I just don't understand." "How did that guy figure out that it was Franta who broke it?" "The boys swore it wasn't Franta, they didn't even argue." "But they've lied so many times before, haven't they?" "They wouldn't blame him just out of the blue." "I also don't think that he did it." "I interrogated him all evening." "He cried, honestly." "I don't know." "If he had broken whatever, he still can't shout such things at him, can he?" "I kept thinking that it would be..." " It would be..." " What?" "Different, if people see how I look after the boys and..." " What?" " That they would acknowledge us." " Perhaps you're asking too much." " The boys aren't angels, but they're not doing anything terrible." "Nothing worse than other boys." "This is so unfair, so terribly unfair." " Hello, hello, hello." " Hi, Franta." "Where're you going?" "I'm looking for Matìj." "He's taken my bike helmet." "I saw him in the village." "But he can't leave the garden on his own." "What was he doing?" " Drinking from a puddle." " Dirty pig." " Filthy." " You haven't seen Lukáš?" "I have, when I was taking my old woman to the cemetery." "He was digging through the landfill and he laid so much stuff in the road I couldn't get through." "Oh yeah." "He's a pig, too." " Look, there they are." " Hello, hello!" " What's wrong with his head?" " Maybe he's a bit loopy." "You're a fine guy, aren't you?" "Your hair's nice." "You look like a fairytale grandfather." "And you like a little angel." "But you're that black gypsy that broke my car!" "The black gypsy who broke my car!" "Broke my car!" "Leave me alone, leave me alone!" "Get up, František." " Mum." " You had a bad dream, huh?" " What is it like?" " What?" " My hair." " Still the same, nice." " Do you need to pee?" " No." "Go to sleep then." "I'll stay here with you for a while." " Mum." " How come you're not asleep?" "I like you." "I like you, too." "You brats, stop it." "Don't throw the snow!" "Pepa..." " Morning, morning, morning." " Pepa, you forgot your snack." "No snowball fights after school, you could catch a cold." " Come to see me in the shop, OK?" " Why again?" " To do your homework." " We don't have any." "Why then?" " We're getting fresh angel cakes." " It's so boring." "I took a newspaper, thanks." "Hi, you little devil." "I kept an eye on it." "That's very nice of you, I owe you one." " And how have you been?" " Fine, and you?" " Good." " Great, see you." "Want some?" "Think I'm stupid?" "Come on." "Children, hurry up to school, classes start in a minute." "The teacher had a gallbladder fit last night." "Because of all the troubles with you." "Before they send someone else, the cook and I will teach you." "Hooray!" " Amen spirit... and then?" " 'Fart', dude." "Hold on - into the stalls." " This is awesome." " Thank god for the boys' room." " That was a good trick." " Yeah." " Hey, man." " Hey, what're you doing here?" " We fooled her, too." " What did you tell her?" " That we had to poo." "That cook is really cool." "She let all of us, and there are only two stalls here." "If teacher died it would be great." " And the headmistress, too." " And the new one who's coming, she could have a stroke on the way, too." "Or if the school burnt down, or blew up." " That'd be cool." " Quiet!" " Some girly took a dump." " Older girlies got titties." " And pubes." " Really?" " Yeah." "These two buttheads are spying on us here." " Pray." " I can't." "He's really taking a dump." " It works!" " Told you." "Well, I'm not a hundred per cent sure, because the boys have tricked us a few times, but what I am wondering is how come your husband is so sure?" "Did he see Franta breaking the window or not?" " I don't know." "I wasn't there." " I see." "But even if he did see him breaking the glass," "I am sorry but he can't yell at him in such a mean way." "Neither at him nor at any of us." "This is precisely why we moved." "The little one has problems with breathing in the town." "And we had problems with the neighbours who were terribly bothered by Franta and Lukáš." "I just wanted to ask you if you could talk to your husband because the way he shouted at us, that was really very unfair." "I will try." "I don't know whether I'll be able to do anything." "He didn't listen to me when he was younger, either, and the older he gets, the more stubborn he is." "I've heard that you have children, too." "Can you imagine how it is for us?" "Oh yeah, yeah." "May I ask you something?" "Why did you take those two boys?" " Why?" " Yes." "Well, we think that such children should be helped." " But this one's your own, right?" " And finally Matìj was born." " Can I ask you one more thing?" " Of course." "Why didn't you take some white children, Czechs?" "Because when you adopt that kind of child, it hardly ever works out, in spite of your good will." "Your own is your own, and a stranger is a stranger." "These kids from institutions all end up in prison," " no matter what you do." " But our boys..." "Do you like them all the same?" " Or don't you favour your own." " We can't make any distinctions." " Look, Mum." " Very nice, you're doing well." "Now I only have to add arms." "Better go." "He'll be home soon." "I don't know what he'd do if he saw you here." "Since he retired he tends to lose his temper." "I've been on disability pension for a long time but he can't cope at home." " I'm sorry." " That's all right." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." "Come on you little munchkin, we're going now." " Can I make another one?" " No, we're going shopping now." " Come and have some chocolate." " May I?" "Go then." " Thank you." " Not at all." " May I eat the whole thing?" " No." " Young lady..." "My husband didn't see anyone when the car was damaged." " Thank you." " May I then?" "This is beautiful, isn't it?" "Hi mum, they have fresh angel cakes." " And will they give you wings?" " No, I'm not that stupid." "Hello, hello, hello." " Why?" " Because." " Because." "You shut up, I bet you won't carry anything again." "At five, you didn't carry a backpack either." " And don't be rude." " Why can't I stay here?" " I don't want to go on any trip." " Have you done your homework?" "I haven't seen anything done." "On Sunday we're going on a trip." "Why?" "Because we need to get out of here some time." "OK, will you find out the train times to Nesvaèily." "Hooray, we're gonna take the choo-choo." " Why can't we go to Tesco?" " What would we do there?" "Everyone goes there on weekends." "What would we do there with no money?" "Why don't we, since everyone else does." "I don't know how you decided that everyone does, but we don't because we're paying off this house." "This way..." "Hello, I've killed everyone and have four lives now." "Show me." "Lukáš, I want to see that homework done." "This looks good." " I spoke to Mrs. Bartáková." " Yes?" "Well, I went to ask her to have a word with her husband." " What did she say?" " Well, she said she'd try." "She's quite a nice person." "Hey, I'm talking to you, are you listening?" " Yeah, yeah, a nice person." " You know what she told me?" "That he didn't see anyone breaking the window." "So Franta didn't lie to us?" "That's great." "You see, everything's gonna be fine." "We'll go through this forest." "Wait for me, I can't go on." "This one only operates on weekdays." "Lukáš, you know what this sign means, don't you?" " That's unfair." " We're going home then." "I looked forward to the choo-choo so much." "We're going, Franta and Lukáš, but not home." "We're to follow the red trail and see the lookout in Svatý Jan." " On foot?" " Yes." " What?" "!" " Where to?" " Somewhere else." " Whatever." " Can I have a candy bar?" "Come on." "Come on." "Franta!" "Lukáš!" "This is very funny but enough now." " I think there's no point." " What do you mean, no point?" "Stop it Matìj, we need to discuss something." " I think they've gone home." " Which way did they go?" " I want to know where they are." " Hold on, Matìj." "We're not going home now." "Come on." "You don't want to stay here, do you?" "No." "Those little brats." "Hi." " Hi, hello." " Hi." " Where are you?" " Be glad they're all right." "Could you tell me how come you just disappear without saying a word?" " Lukáš said..." " I don't care what Lukáš says." "If you don't like it here, go live someplace else." "If you find it ridiculous that we're worried then go away." "Lukáš, don't pull such stunts." " It was a joke." " A stupid joke." " Matìj, go to Mum." " Come on, let's beat it." " I'm not coming." " You sissy." "Mum says that you're gonna have cold dinner." "Come on, let's go." " Have you taken the ashes out?" " Yes, a long time ago." "Mum, could I stay at home today, I'm so tired." " And me too?" " Can I watch the morning TV?" "Of course." "Lukáš, František, you are going to school." "If you want a lift, hurry up, the roads'll be clogged soon." " You've got it made." " Yeah." "Mum, when am I going to start kindergarten?" "They've closed down the kindergarten here." " That's unfair." " We're going." " That's unfair." " That's unfair." "Take your backpack." " The car keys." " Bye, see you." "I can't believe it." "A new bike, and already broken." "What did you say?" "Go and have a look in the hallway, check whether all your helmets are on the shelf." "That's just great..." " There's only mine and Lukáš'." " That's what I thought." "Matìj, come and pet him, come here." "He can't get close to animals, he has an allergy." " It's not possible, I'm sorry." " Mum, please, mum." "Go and help Mrs. Vránová with the wood then." "Hooray." "Well, allergies..." "Good morning." "Thank you, goodbye." "That pig." "Dammit!" "Here we go." "You've done it, you've done it after all." "So now the eight-year old will be interrogated." "Does that make you happy?" "He's spending the first years of his life in an institution." "He would scratch himself bloody when we didn't hug him." "He used to scream all night and now he's a happy child." "And you turn him into a criminal." "Come on, are you insane, you didn't see him breaking anything." "You just want us to pay the stupid window." "You think that since he's a gypsy it'll work out for you." "Aren't you ashamed?" " You're screaming like cow!" " Of course I am." "Now you can extend that criminal complaint of yours, you coward." " I saw him, he did it!" " Nonsense, baloney, bullshit." "I can't see the big boys." "Turn it off, girls." "Let's clean up, we're going to finish soon." "The boys are in the toilet;" "I'll get them." " No way, a boy has to go there." " We'll get them..." "Make sure you come right back." "No troublemaking." "Dude, there's a sale at Tesco." "Malboro Week - a free lighter for every two packs you buy." " Theirs." " Brand name." " Dude." " Dude." " Have you got it then?" " My brother took it." " He's a butthead." " He is." " They're smoking in here." " Gee, you'll be in trouble!" " Better keep your mouth shut!" " Or we'll knock your teeth out." " Hello." " Hi." "Stop it, look who's here." " Oh, you're here?" " No, you must be dreaming." "Mrs. Vránová praised me so much." "She said I really helped her." "I was chopping wood, breaking wood." "I played with Míša." "You know I told you not to play with Míša." "We agreed on something." "Mrs. Vránová praised me so much..." " What are you doing?" " Butthead." " Where is that third helmet?" " Dunno." "How come you don't know - its cost a thousand crowns!" "Listen, I've had a conversation with Barták and I've had enough." "I'm sick of your stupidities." "You behave yourselves now, OK." "Answer the phone, Lukáš." "Can you hear me?" "Answer the phone." "Šírová speaking." " Go to hell." " Leave us alone." "Give it to me." "We want cartoons." " Kiss my ass, you black bastard." " You're a black bastard yourself." "Turn it down, boys, do we have to make such noise all the time?" "Come on..." "I want a cartoon, too." " Give it to me, you moron." " You retard." " Sorry, Mum." " We're really sorry, Mum." " You..." " Black bastards." "How dare you speak like that, you little..." "What are you saying, who taught you that?" " Lukáš and Franta." " You're both idiots." "Come here." "You're all black bastards." " What if we ran away?" " I dunno." "Our real Mum wouldn't be this mean to us." "She wouldn't." "I'm sure she's nice, you understand?" " I'm afraid." " We won't have to go to school." " Really?" " We could watch TV all the time." " Seriously?" " Our Mum would certainly..." "What are you talking about guys?" " Shall I tell him?" " I'll tell him in the morning." " Whispering means scheming." " Leave him alone." " Watch out, Mum's coming." " Go to sleep!" " Matìj, I'm sorry." "Does it hurt?" " Not really." " Good night then." " Good night." "Franta, I'm sorry," "Lukáš, I'm sorry." " Good night." " Night." " She's all right." " Don't be fooled so easily." "Here's a bucket if you needed to pee at night." "Someone peed in the cup on the radiator and it stank like hell." " Good night." " Night, Mum." " Fooled by what?" " All the crap of hers." " Our Mum would never be so mean." " Which one?" "The real one." "Mine or yours?" "She'd buy us sweets for every bad mark." "I'd rather get chocolate, or gum with stickers." "Where are we gonna find them and what are they called?" " Who?" " Our Mums." "Why are you crying, you're not going anywhere." "I can't go anywhere, I have no another mum." "Don't cry, Matìj, we'll come back for you." "Of course, we're brothers." "Not a word to anyone." "OK." "Good evening." "Hi Monika." "I called you, asking you to come as soon as possible and you, instead of coming, let me down completely." " I have a job, remember." " Am I just sitting around?" "You think I can just tell the boss 'Auf Wiedersehen " "I have to go home to study my son's summons," " have a fight with a racist'?" " That's exactly what I think." "In the afternoon I beat the boys up and then I told them..." "I told them..." "You'll tell me about it tomorrow, let's go to sleep." "Let me finish, I want to tell you now." "And then I called them black bastards." "Come on, Monika." "Don't cry." "And before I went to see that..." " Who?" " That shit." "We're both the same." " Barták, you mean." " Yes, I went there and broke their window with a doorknob from their gate." "That's amazing." "I'd certainly miss." "First I felt great too, but then I got terribly nervous and then he called and was so rude on the telephone." " Where is that summons?" " He was so terribly rude." " What?" " Nothing." "...to provide an explanation for damage to a motor vehicle." "I'm so nervous, really." "Don't be nervous, we'll manage." " Mum, I can't breathe." " Matìj!" "I'm coming, Matìj." " I'm coming, Matìj." " Don't be afraid, keep breathing." " Take him out, quick." " I don't want to go to a doctor." "Calm down Matìj." "If you stay calm, we won't go anywhere." "One last time." "Good boy." " It's better now, hmm?" " Yes." "Keep breathing deeply, and keep calm, to cool your throat off." "I'll bring you a pill." " I want to go to sleep." " You will soon." "I'll put a chair here and sit with him for a while." " Have a drink." " Fine." " He's asleep." " I'll put him under your jacket." "Good thing it ended up fine." "Go to bed so that you don't crash the car tomorrow." "Take your sheets to the kitchen, I'll take him into the bedroom." "Open the window in there so that's it's cool in there." " OK, good night." " Night." " It's my fault anyway." " Are you crazy?" "It's happened so many times." "I don't know why we wanted to move down here." " It's so much worse here." " It isn't." "I don't have anyone here." "I have to deal with everything alone." " You don't." " I do." "Monika, that's not true." "Good night." "Do you think I'll be able to let the boys go to school alone?" "I'll have to stay with Matìj." "So Barták doesn't hurt them." " He wouldn't dare." " I'm not so sure." "He won't." "I'll see to it." "I don't know why I ever wanted to have kids." "Monika, you're talking silly, really silly." "I know, I'm sorry." " Shouldn't I stay here?" " No, that's fine." "Good night." "Good night." "It was quite a challenge for mum, although we managed without going to hospital." "It'd be nice if you could behave yourselves because mum and I have certain limits." "You're going to walk home from school alone, so no goofing off." "Come on, you're terribly late and me too." "I hope you'll remember what we've agreed on." "If you see Mr. Barták, say hello." "Good morning, teacher, I'm sorry, we overslept." " Good morning." " Good morning." " Matìj, are you OK?" " Yeah." "I don't want that compress any more." "I'll take it off then." "Mum?" "I get out of bed now?" " How's your breathing?" " Fine." " Are you sure?" " Yes." "OK then, but you have to promise to keep calm." "You'll have your anti-cough tea, and breathe from the bubble." " And no tantrums." " Yeah." "OK then, go and change." " Walk slowly." " Yeah." "And come to the kitchen for a pill." "I would like to warn you, that I am going to the police station to report all your attacks, not only the verbal ones." "So first you smash my car window, then the window of my house and on top try to threaten me?" "I am warning you, Mr. Barták." "Leave my family alone." " You can kiss my fat ass." " You've said that before." "Come on, Pepa." " Come on, weenie." " All right." " Oh, man, that'd be cool, huh?" " Yeah." " Dude, that'd be awesome." " All right." " Go and find out." " What?" " You're not stupid, are you?" " All right then." "I don't want another Mum." "I want the one we have and Pepa is my friend, not yours." " Now he's gonna be our brother." " Matìj's enough, isn't he?" "Why shouldn't we have more of them?" "Well, yeah." " Hi, mum." " Hi, Pepa." " Listen, mum?" " What's up?" " Mum?" " Wipe your nose." " Mum?" " Have a doughnut." "I don't want one." "You look so hot, I hope you don't have a fever." " Mum, listen." " What's the matter?" " Listen, Mum." " What is it?" " Listen." " I'm busy." " Can I pay, please?" " Come and label these." " Could I have a brother?" " Could it be a fever after all?" " Two brothers, actually." " You must have gone crazy." "You keep saying that it's sad to be just the two of us." "I want brothers, too." "Everyone has someone, only I don't." "You know what, go home and get in bed." "I'll mop the floor and be back before half past." " One pack of cigarettes." " Forty." "Goodbye." "Lie down and a take a pill from the drawer." "I'll give you a call and if I don't, then you call me." "Don't infect anyone here, otherwise I'll lose my job." " Would you have two more?" " No, I wouldn't." "Have this and go to bed right away." " Goodbye." " Goodbye." " Mum, we really can't then?" " Pepa." "You moron." "Hey you, are you deaf?" "You, tar baby." "Try one of these, they're low-tar." "Or maybe you just need a wash." "Just ignore them, come on." "Why shouldn't it be possible?" "Mum said I should go home and lie in bed." "How about going to the big Tesco in Zlièín?" "They give away lighters and cigarettes for free there." " Designer stuff." " I can't come, really." " We can't." "We'll come back soon." "Nobody will notice." "We have money for snacks and our little weenie here, don't we?" " What time does the bus leave?" " What kind of weenie?" "There's one every couple minutes in the afternoon." "Pepa, how much money have you got?" "Wait a minute, I have a fever." "Have a doughnut." "Three times Tesco." "Hello, hello, hello." "Hello." " Tomorrow we'll go to granny's?" " Yay, it's been so long." "She will be happy to see us." "Yes, Lesní Street number two, behind the cemetery." "The houses standing alone." "Goodbye." "Matìj, please, I'm going outside, just a bit down the road." "Please sit here and keep an eye on the phone, OK?" "If the boys call, ask them to tell you where they are." " Is that clear?" " Yeah." " Will you remember?" " Yeah." " Mum." " What's up, can you breathe OK?" "Lukáš and Franta said that they were going to run away and that I shouldn't tell anyone." "Where did they say they were going?" "That's good that you told me." "And now keep an eye on the phone, right?" " Whip out the money." " I don't have any." " Hold on, you did have some." " You're an idiot, Pepa." " I left it at Mum's store." " Let's beat it." "Come on, quick." "We didn't do anything..." "You're lucky you didn't steal anything." "Don't you dare come in through another entrance or we'll have you locked up till you rot." "And how are we gonna get home since we don't have any money?" "That's because of you." "I didn't want to." "We left a ten-piece in the cart, it's gone now." " Damn." " What're we gonna do?" "Could try to bargain with the driver." "Give us a lift, we had money but it got stolen." "Lukáš!" "Lukáš!" "Franta!" "Boys!" "Franta, boys!" "František!" "Stop, wait!" "You broke my car." "You black gypsy." "Go to hell!" "Franta..." "Marek Šír speaking." "Yes." "They've found them." "They are fine and coming back." "Come here." "At least two more inhales." "Good." "Now go to sleep, good night." " Good night." " Good night, Franta." "What are you doing, we don't kiss guys' hands." "Why doesn't my Mum want to look after me?" "I don't know, perhaps nobody ever told her how to." " It's not so difficult." " Well, you might think so." "Boys, it's very late, you have to go to sleep." " Today has been a hard day." " Rather hard." " Good night, Luke." " Good night, František." " I haven't had time to wash yet." " Doesn't matter." " I'll leave the light on, OK?" " OK." " Mum..." " What?" " I wuv you." " I wuv you, too." "Only sometimes you're a bit of a pain, you know." " I wuv my three brothers, too." " You've only got two brothers." "How so?" "How... oh, I see." "Perhaps we could do something about that." "No, we couldn't." " Mum." " Yes?" "Could we adopt Pepa?" "No, we couldn't." "Today god liked us all very much, he just gave us a bit of a hard time." "This isn't my blanket!" "That's right, yuck." "I say yuck, too, then."
