"Our plane flies, flies far!" "Flies fast, flies high, just like a thunderbird!" "Should we be surprised by an enemy... we would defend this beautiful Hungarian homeland!" "We'll be there, we, good Hungarian Eagles," "We'll be there, we swear!" "We would give everything, even our lives, for you, our beautiful homeland!" "Our plane flies, flies far!" "Flies fast, flies high, just like a thunderbird!" "Should we be surprised by an enemy, we would defend this beautiful Hungarian homeland!" "We'll be there, we, good Hungarian Eagles..." "We'll be there, we swear!" "We would give everything, even our lives, for you, our beautiful homeland!" "We'll be there, we, good Hungarian Eagles!" "We'll be there, we swear!" "We would give everything, even our lives," "For you, our beautiful homeland!" "This film is dedicated to the memory of our heroic pilots." "To all those, who had sacrificed their lives for the Hungarian homeland, alongside our Deputy Regent," "Vitez Istvan Horthy de Nagybanya." "Our plane flies, flies far!" "Flies fast, flies high, just like a thunderbird!" "Should we be surprised by an enemy, we would defend this beautiful Hungarian homeland!" "We'll be there, we, good Hungarian Eagles!" "We'll be there, we swear!" "We would give everything, even our lives, for you, our beautiful homeland!" "It must be great to fly so high, and look down at the world from above!" "Definitely, it is a wonderful feeling to fly!" "I just don't get why are you so enthusiastic about it!" "I myself value cars much more, or even the hay-powered-engine, commonly referred to as a horse." "Flying is for birds!" "Safe flight!" "Safe flight!" " Safe flight, boys!" " Safe flight!" " What's up, boy?" "Have you got a new joke perhaps?" " Yes, Sir!" " Let's hear it!" " What's the difference between the eagle and a grebe?" " I don't know." "What?" " The eagle can fly much better than the grebe ... because an eagle cannot fly if I sit on it, but a grebe can!" "Wow!" "Haha!" "OK." " Ready?" " Ready." "Let's pull it out!" "Come on!" "Release!" " Do you see it?" " Aha!" "That's something!" "The grebe!" "Good morning, Akos!" "Hi, dear Belus!" "How is it going?" "Despite being an old hand, did you come back to be with the children for a while?" "Just like you!" "Come, I'll introduce you to my bride!" "This is Captain Akos Torday, about whom I have already told you a lot." "Hello!" "I am pleased to meet you!" "Well, what is it, Palika?" " Will you fix it, uncle Laci?" " Of course." "This part is OK!" "This one has some serious problems, but we'll fix it somehow!" "What's the problem with it?" "It has the same problem like my plane, back in '16, when I almost bought the farm in Galicia!" " It happened like this..." " This is wonderful!" "How can I say... what is it anyway?" "This is the performance machine of the students from the polytechnic." " It is beautiful!" " I don't get why are you so obsessed with it!" "If this sling-shot pilot can fly a few hundred meters it will be happy if it lands in one piece!" " Big deal!" " Just sit in it, and you'll see for yourself, how big a deal it is!" "Me?" "I'd be a fool to do that!" "What's this?" "And this?" "What's that?" "And how does it work?" " I want to know everything!" " Good, I'll just explain you everything then." "This is the control stick!" "If I pull it towards myself, the plane lifts up." "If I push it forward, the plane descends." " Look!" "She didn't know even that!" " What did you expect?" "She is a woman!" "If I deflect it and step on the rudder the plane turns." " And what does it do if there is no wind?" " Then it has to be pulled!" "eey-uh-nem!" "Well, I can see you have a very bad opinion about gliding!" "Come with me!" "I'll take you up in a Cimbora!" "You'll see how wonderful it can be to fly up high, in the sky!" "You're really, really kind, thank you very much!" "And I don't really have a bad opinion about all this  I am simply just giving voice to my opinion, ... I mean... you know..." " Stop mumbling!" "Go on up!" " Well, decide it!" "They're readying the plane!" "It is such an honor!" "You can't refuse it!" "I really don't want to fly!" "No part of me does!" " Shame on you!" " You know that I have my principles  and that I won't let myself being fooled!" " Have you checked the plane?" " Yes!" " To the rope!" "Well, young man!" "Are you ready?" "Are you coming or not?" "I just said that, I know you are just trying to make a fool of me, to laugh at me, but you know, Captain, with all due respect  I am not in the mood for this today, we had this long climb up here, too..." "You are not in the mood for this?" "Well, boys?" "Who wants to come with me?" " Me, please!" "Me, too!" " Take me, please!" "Can you see?" "These boys are all in the mood for this!" "Pali!" "Tell me!" "Can you imagine, that there are people who don't want to fly?" "I can!" "My grannie is an example!" " How old is she?" " 82!" "That's different!" "She's happy if she can still walk!" "How beautiful!" "Look!" "Torday's plane is just taking off!" "Don't be sad, my young friend!" "If that girl really loves you, she'll even forgive your cowardness!" "I..." "Can you see that fool Bandi?" "What do you want?" "He is an office boy from Pest." "This is much more interesting!" "Look at Pista flying!" "Bandi!" "The phone!" "Hallo!" "Yes, sir director!" "Yes, my apologies!" "Yes, right away!" "We haven't seen him for days!" " Ever since he acted so brave!" " It's better if doesn't come at all!" "Well-well!" "You shouldn't look down on someone for not wanting to fly without good reason!" "We need people who don't live for flying, as well!" " But cowards don't deserve even the air they breathe!" " You're wrong!" "Bandi is not a coward!" "He is just stubborn!" "He has principles!" "And he won't let himself being fooled!" "I took some day offs  and I am going on a trip..." "Last time you thought I was a coward, but believe you me, I am not!" " That you must prove first!" " That's why I am here!" " Have you ever been in the air?" " No." " Are you also just working?" " I'll have my chance soon!" "But I want to fly!" "You almost broke the plane!" "It's good you didn't do this foolishness in the air!" " What do you know about Bandi?" " He is on a holiday!" " He took a trip." "Really?" " And where to?" " That I don't know!" "You don't?" "Well then I'm gonna tell you!" "Bandi is having his vacation on the Harmashatar Hill  getting ready to fly!" "Wow!" "That is most unexpected!" "You see?" "I always told you Bandi is not a coward!" "But it looks like he deserted his principles!" "He still has principles, they are just different now!" "Let's visit him on Sunday!" "Let's see how he's doing!" " Good?" " Good!" " Good." " One-two!" " Pull!" "Release!" "So, what have you come up with this time?" "What is the difference between a grasshopper and a rookie like him?" " Nothing!" " But there is some!" " So?" "The grasshopper knows how to fly, but this one can only jump around!" "He's got some terrible jokes." " Well, brother!" "Are you feeling well today?" " Yes!" "Well, let's go up to the top!" "If we're lucky, we can fly all the way to Hortobagy today!" " If you want, I can take you with me!" " Thank you!" "I am coming!" " One!" " One!" "Release!" "I like that!" "What a wonderful takeoff!" "Who took off in that plane?" "Captain Torday took off for a long-distance flight in the company of that young man!" "Which young man?" " The one who didn't dare to sit in the last time!" " Bandi?" " Uhum." "My God!" " So, how do you like flying?" " It's beautiful!" "Hello my dears!" "Hi!" " Hi!" " Good day, Pista!" "Have you heard that" "Bandi was taken for a long distance flight by Akos?" "Yes, and it seems like they have excellent weather!" "They've been in the air for 3 hours already!" "Where could they go?" "Can you see?" "That overthere is the River Tisza!" "The whole world is like a giant map from up here!" "Could you find your way back?" "None of my ancestors were homing pigeons!" "Are you hungry?" "There are some biscuit in the back!" "Have some!" "There is still no news about them, though they left some 5 hours ago!" "So what?" "I could see Akos Torday return with a new long distance-flight record!" "Not impossible, but the weather is not the best for that!" "And he has a rookie passenger with him!" "I wonder how he feels about flying now!" "We keep losing altitude!" " I'm gonna look for some good landing spot!" " Good!" "We've been flying for 6 hours already!" "You!" "We're gonna land here!" "It seems like Akos took Bandi on quite a journey!" "It's almost evening!" "What if something happened to them?" "What if they crashed?" " Don't you worry about Akos!" " I am not worried about him!" "Do you think Akos threw Bandi out of the plane?" "Because there is no other way for him to land without Torday!" "Where can I make a phone call from here?" "That castle is the closest option, Captain!" "You can make a call from there!" " And can we get some food there as well?" " Are you hungry perhaps?" " Well, I already ate all these, but I am still a little bit..." " Who owns this castle?" "Widow Mrs. Inkey is the mistress of the castle." "She lives there with a relative." " Can you hear it?" " Radio!" "That is not a radio, son, but the live voice of a woman!" "Madame, please!" "There are two gentlemen here, who would like to make a phonecall to Pest!" " What gentlemen?" " Pilots!" "They've just arrived!" "They landed on the field!" " Pilots?" " Let the gentlemen in, please!" "Don't worry so much!" "Lie down!" "But I am worried and also excited, no matter what you say!" "So many things come into my mind in a such situation!" "What if they landed in the middle of a forest... or on the top of a tree?" "Well, I can imagine that much from that monkey Bandi, that he would like to hang around on the top of trees..." " ..." "But Akos Torday would never do anything like that!" " You're so disgusting!" "And don't insult Bandi all the time!" "By the way, you're usually just as worried about Bela!" "That's different!" "Bela flies engines, and he is one of the best aerobatics!" " Big deal!" "So what?" " It IS a big deal!" "Yes, Captain." "I am sending the transport straight away!" " Do you have accommodation and food?" " Everything is taken care of, uncle Laci!" "What?" "Of course!" "There are some ladies here as well!" "One of them has a beautiful voice!" "Just write down where to send the transport!" "You must be an excellent pilot, too, if you're flying with such a famous man, as Torday!" "I am not yet a great pilot." "You are obviously being modest right now!" "My God, just because a man can fly, it doesn't mean he must be famous!" "But surely you must have had some exciting experiences!" "I am so interested!" "Tell us!" "Tell us an interesting story!" "It is hard to do that, all of a sudden..." "Just whatever pops up in your mind, one of your greatest experiences!" "I don't even know which one to choose." "Something very exciting!" "Well, it was like..." "some time ago when" "I was on a bigger tour abroad  but not with a small glider as this, but with a much more serious, three-engined plane, so, I was flying at the altitude of 3000 meters with 680 km/hour speed." "That is the real thing, real speed!" "And when a man looks out the window, he can almost see the Earth turning backwards!" "It is a phenomenal feeling, almost as if the plane itself would be the Sun!" " Or a comet, under which the Earth moves and turns!" " Wonderful!" "So, as I was flying at 3000 meters, all of a sudden dark and thick stormclouds got in my way." "The sounds of thunder quickly overcame the noise of the three engines, and lightning was just flashing all around me!" "A flash on the right!" "Another one on the left!" "One behind me!" "Three others in the front!" "You should have seen me then, when I was riding before the thunder!" " My God!" " I have never in my whole life seen such lightning," "The flashes were so bright I almost went blind!" "And all those lightning generated such heat..." "I mean, such heat..." "That it makes you sweat even right now!" "Your young friend was telling us a very interesting story!" "Oh!" "These tales are always very interesting!" "It's a pity I wasn't here to hear the whole thing!" "Please continue!" "You haven't finished yet!" "Oh, no!" "The rest is not so important!" "And anyway, Captain Torday is here now, and he could tell much better stories, because his life is full of experiences after all!" " Very nice." "Torday!" "Tell us something!" " Tell you something?" "All right, I'll do it." "My story is about a young man, who didn't want to sit into an airplane at all, but then one day I took him along a long-distance gliding flight." "I think it must have happened some 5 or 6 years ago." "Sing us the song, we heard last evening in the garden!" "With pleasure!" "It is my favorite song." "One of the most beautiful works of Liszt." "She is the orphan of my deceased sister." "I am raising her." "But you are still very young yourself!" "I have been a widow for two years now." "How nice, and how enchanting everything is around here!" "Yes, but every day is the same!" "Nothing ever happens here!" "I think you could very easily get bored of it." "Especially since you are used to have an exciting life!" "Flying here and there..." "to see the world..." "I don't know." "I used to be very-very much in love with the countryside." "I grew up there, you know." "Of course, a lot of things have changed since then..." "I have a profession now, that I love more than anything else in this world." "This girl has a beautiful voice!" "True, Jutka is very talented." "She studies at the Musical Academy, so we're about to move to Pest in the autumn." "I have very bad experiences with people." "I didn't know much when my husband was still alive, but ever since I am on my own, I got to know life." " And isn't it nice?" " Yes, it is." "It is nice." "Or at least, it could be, if people wouldn't insist on ruining it all the time." "We must bring out the good, the beautiful and cheerful from ourselves." "You know, we pilots must always have trust in ourselves and in our planes." "Don't forget, the sky is always blue above the clouds!" "Maybe." "Perhaps the problem is in me." "Or in that I was never warned about this before." "Well, I will keep reminding you from time to time then." "Good?" "That was beautiful!" "There are two beautiful things in the world: singing and ladies..." "Tell me please, did they crash?" "Don't you worry about Akos Torday!" "Things like that cannot happen to him." "Everybody can have an accident!" "Perhaps he didn't feel good, or they ended up in a storm..." "Or the plane's wing broke off!" "The wings of our planes don't just break off!" "By God!" "How can you be so calm  when it's about the life of two people?" "Two men, and one of them..." "... one of them is..." "Nono!" "There's no need to worry!" "Nothing's wrong!" " I already sent the transport truck to pick them up!" " Really?" "Why didn't you tell me that sooner?" "Because I wanted to find out something." "Tell me, Torday!" "Do you really believe that the sky is always blue above the clouds?" "Of course I believe that!" "I can see that every day when I fly above the clouds!" "And even now, looking into your eyes, I can see this to be true!" "The Sun peeks from behind the clouds!" " Maybe." "I don't know..." " For sure!" "Colonel, Sir!" "I report!" "We have arrived with the transport truck!" "All right, good ol' boy!" "I'll soon be there." "Unfortunately, we must go now..." "It was so good to feel the silence of the place!" "I'm glad if you had a good time!" "A very good time..." "I'll go and find Bandi." "You know, Jutka, flying is the kind of thing that if you have tasted it once, you'll always want some more and more of it." "This is how the records and top- achievements are made!" "You see, my wish for example is, to achieve such records as a paratrooper." "Really?" "Have you already jumped with parachute?" "Wow, so exciting!" "Well, of course, it is a bit exciting at the beginning, until one gets used to it, but, you know, later on, jumping from 2, 3 or 5 thousand meters doesn't make a difference!" "You know, you just fix the parachute here and when the plane reaches the right altitude, you open the door, and simply just step into the endless emptiness below!" "And what do you think about when you step out of the plane like that?" "You know, all I am thinking about is... that I must pull the string at the right time, to open the parachute!" "You just put your hand on the string, let's say, this button is the string," "I just step out and pull the string..." "So, Bandi!" "The transport truck is here!" "We're leaving!" "Come!" "You'll finish the parachute jump once we're at home!" "Well, Captain, Sir..." "It was about, you know..." "I was just explaining..." "I haven't yet told you that I want to become a paratrooper!" " Really?" " Yes!" "That's what I want!" "I have already told them to bring your things to the transport truck!" "Thank you very much, you are very kind!" "We came here easily, but leaving is so hard!" "But we must continue our evening talk from yesterday when you come to Pest!" "I'll call you, as soon as I arrive to Pest!" "I bid farewell, thank you very much for your kind hospitality!" "Good bye!" "It was like that!" "I just didn't like the sound of that engine!" "It started to miss..." "On our way from the Mediterranean sea we were just above Zagreb, when I noticed, that the right engine is about to fall off!" "I shouted to Colonel Torday, "I volunteer to become an engine mount!"" " A what?" " An engine mount, I am telling you!" "A holder of the engine!" "And then I just climbed out onto the right wing, hooked my leg into the trailing edge, grabbed the valve cover with my hands, and held the engine myself all the way home!" "Sure, you did!" "You old liar!" "I am going to ask" "Captain Torday what's the truth in all this!" "I am happy you're having such a good time, boys!" "Just the way it should be!" "Reserves are coming tomorrow!" "We will get one from the company too." "I received my draft order yesterday!" "I am going to go for armed training!" "And can you guess how lucky I got?" "I am assigned to Akos Torday's Company!" "I am very glad to hear that!" "It' just that I will hardly see you from now on!" "Come on, it wont't take that long!" "And when I am discharged, we will have our wedding!" "Okay?" "Of course it's okay!" "Guess what, Mommy!" "Bela was drafted!" " He came to say goodbye..." " Oh, I wish you weren't so crazy about this flying-stuff!" "You even drove that sober Bandi crazy with this thing!" "I didn't think you were a coward not even back then, you know..." "You see?" "I could do it!" "And I have been jumping ever since!" "From 3000 meters already!" "Are you trying to joke with me now?" "The same way you were joking with that country-girl, right?" " I was told she came to Pest." " Are you talking about Jutka?" " Yes." "She has a beautiful voice, and if she were as beautiful as you are, you would have a reason to be jealous, but she is not, so I am in love with you even without the voice!" "Well, my Zsuzsi!" "I couldn't love you more not even if you were a Caproni 135!" "But I am warning you!" "No matter how crazy I am for you, but if you'd let me down, I'll step on the gas so hard, and fly off from here, that you won't catch me again, not even with a Messerschmitt!" "Wow, that sounded so nice!" "I wish I could understand it too!" "You must understand this much at least!" "I do, even though it is still in pilot-language!" " Pilot-language?" " It stinks of petrol!" "You seem to practice much less these days!" "Only today..." "And yesterday." "I had so much to do, you know." "Bandi called, too." "He's having a couple of days vacation in Pest." "Ever since those two pilots were blown to our house you seem to be just as fond of flying as of singing?" "Am I right?" "There are two beautiful things in the world!" "Singing and flying!" "You could have mentioned a third one as well!" " Love!" " Love is the most beautiful thing in the world!" "Of course, right after flying!" "Then come!" "Let's fly!" "So, come, Sanyika!" "Let's sit in this airplane!" " Me?" "In this carousel?" "I won't!" " Why?" "Because I feel dizzy." "No!" " Dizzy?" " No!" "The world has turned with me once, but only once, when they said that I was a coward!" "You cannot even imagine, Akos, how happy I am now!" "You know, I am going to fly for the first time in my life!" "And I admit, I am a bit nervous!" "You must forgive me, if I won't behave well!" "There is no need to worry!" "You won't even notice and we'll already be up high in the air!" "There is only one thing for certain, the machine!" "Everything else below us becomes uncertain and lurching!" "It's almost like you're flying above a country of toys!" "You'll see tiny houses, people, trees and animals." "Everything will vanish, and become vague." "There is only the machine, the speed, and the two of us!" "It must be beautiful!" "My worries are gone completely!" " You know, this is not the first time I am flying with you!" " With me?" "You know how many times I have already felt, high up that you are sitting next to me in the plane, and the two of us are roaming the paths of the endless horizon playing hide-and-seek amidst the clouds!" "This flight was so dreamlike!" "Thank you!" "Hurry up!" "God help you all!" "I am always late when I go somewhere with you!" "The least you could have done is to be ready on time, since we're going to Pista's flying exam!" " Good." "So, here I am already!" " But Agi is not yet ready, is she?" "Agi, what takes you so long?" "If I am ever late, it is always because of somebody else's fault!" "Today, for example I couldn't find my belt." "And don't worry, you won't be late!" "You'll see Pista's aerobatics!" "This take-off was magnificent!" "What do you think, Akos?" "Pista is flying quite well!" "Amazing!" "I kiss your hand!" "What a surprize!" "I haven't seen you in a thousand years!" "Ervin!" "It's so nice that you recognized me still!" "Akos, allow me to introduce an old friend, Ervin Szalovecky." " Akos Torday, Captain." " Akos Torday?" "The famous pilot?" " Pleased to meet you!" " Me too." "This is great!" "It's hard to believe that these boys can fly like this with just a couple of months of training!" "The preliminary training with gliders counts for a lot!" "Tell me, Akos!" "How long does a motorized training take?" "I don't know exactly." "And tell me, please!" "How many pilots have you trained this year?" "A few more than last year." "Sir, Inspector, I report humbly, one take-off!" "Thank you!" "It was good." " So!" " Pista!" "Congratulations!" "So who is this Ervin Szalovecky?" "An old acquantance." "When I traveled abroad with my late husband, we met him in Germany first." "And then later on in Paris and in Italy as well." "He is a rich man." "He travels a lot, and he is very interested in flying." "I can see that!" "This is your room!" "I am glad you were sent here as our expert!" "Your experience is very much needed here!" "I am also glad that I was given this assignment." "I am sure that the new, standard plane-type will be designed by your hands without a flaw!" "I am very honored." "Time is short!" "You must dedicate yourself entirely to this task!" " Wonderful!" "Beautiful!" " That was so nice!" "Sing us something more, Jutka!" " Tell us, Jutka?" "Do you only sing classical pieces?" " Mostly." " But let me think, maybe I can come up with something else, too." " Good!" " You must know something else, too, Jutka!" " You don't have to be SO enthusiastic!" " Will Colonel Torday come as well?" " I hope so!" "I heard he was given a new assignment at the Arpad airplane-factory." " As an expert, working on the tests of some new plane." " Really?" " Yes." " He didn't mention this to me." "It was beautiful, Jutka!" "Congratulations!" " Thank you!" " You haven't told me, Akos, that you have a new assignment!" "I don't understand." "I was only given this assignment today." "How do you know?" "Ervin told me!" "I heard it from a friend of mine on my way here." "Are we allowed to roll up the carpets?" "We would like to dance a little!" " Me too, just roll them up!" " Thank you!" "Jutka!" "Play us some good music!" "I heard you are about to come out with some new type of machine!" "I don't know what kind of design you have in mind, but from a Hungarian standpoint, I would suggest to consider a multipurpose type!" "That would be the most useful." "Do you have a different opinion perhaps?" "Yes." "Let's talk about something else!" "What could be wrong with Akos?" " Look, how grumpy he looks sitting overthere!" " I don't know!" "Excuse me!" "Finally you've noticed that I am here as well!" "What's wrong, why are you in such a bad mood?" "There is nothing wrong." "I am not in a bad mood either!" "Forget about your troubles!" "I want you to have some fun!" "I'll never forget this beautiful evening!" "Your voice, your amazingly clear voice will follow me everywhere!" "I am glad if you liked it!" "Come in." "Pardon me, Colonel, Sir!" "A gentleman is here looking for you." " Let him in!" " Hi, Akos!" "I would also like to congratulate to your new assignment!" "How are you, how are you, you genius pilot, you!" "Forgive me, please for coming at the wrong time... and for disturbing you in your great work!" "But I am tortured by my curiosity, and I would like to see the factory!" "I am sorry, my friend." "I cannot help you in that one." "The factory is part of the war-effort, and one can only visit it with the commander's permission." "I don't have an exact reason for that, but I really don't like this man!" "But as I said, I am only starting from assumptions." "Pay attention!" "Your task will be..." "Iren!" "Look!" "It's Bandi!" "Tell me!" "Are you sure, it's him?" "You!" "Come in!" " Hi Akos!" " Hi, my friend!" "I really don't know how can I thank you, for all your troubles to get me a permission to visit the factory!" "Don't even mention it!" "Unfortunately they only gave me permission to show you a part of the factory!" "Well, I'll be happy with that too!" "I can see you are still very busy working on the new plane!" "Wow!" "This is a very impressive solution!" "A pair of synchronized machine-guns," "With photo-cells for safety." " Brilliant!" " I can see that you are really good at your trade!" "Not many people would have noticed that!" "Look at that new diving brake!" "You see, we used it because this plane needs to be able to dive at a 60 degree angle!" "This must not just be a heavy bomber, but the kind of plane that can perform well during both reconnaissace and battle missions, too." "Yes." "Yes." " It is really interesting." " But it's really not such a big deal." "Anybody could have figured it out!" "Here." "Your pencil." "And now, if you would like, we can have a look at the factory." "Thank you very much, and I am really indebted to you, now, that I had the chance to have a look at this exemplary factory!" "Oh, don't even mention it!" "We're very happy for your visit!" "And that you paid so much attention to our factory!" "Well, I am really grateful for you." "Don't worry about it." "We're happy to be able to help!" "Of course!" "We're always happy for such visits!" "Well, I am almost embarrassed, now." "And I don't even know how to repay such kindness!" "It's very simple!" "Just give me your pencil!" "This one!" "My pencil?" " It's really nothing!" " It's enough for me!" "And please, just have a seat here for a couple of moments!" "But only until I'll have the pictures you've made developed!" "I don't understand!" "Why would you assume such a thing about me?" "This is not just an assumption anymore, Mr. Szalovecky!" "And from now on, you're under arrest!" "Colonel, Sir, I report, the pictures, and the negative." "Congratulations, Sir!" "The pictures are excellent!" "But we'll have to pay you this time, instead of your employers, I'm afraid!" "I don't understand what could have happened to this Akos!" "He hasn't visited for weeks!" "Was he offended by something perhaps?" "I don't know what's with them!" "The others are neglecting us, too!" "It's like they are avoiding us!" "It doesn't matter how hard I think but I still cannot find an explanation to their strange behavior!" "Akos, the all-out gentleman!" "Attentive, warm-hearted..." "I don't understand this..." "Something MUST have happened!" "Tell me, do you think this Szalovecky-case might have anything to do with Jutka and Maria?" "I've been thinking about this a lot..." "I cannot even imagine that!" "It's so sad that such a bastard could ruin our merry little company!" "First of all I would like to know..." "What kind of relationship existed between my lady..." " ... and Ervin Szalovecky?" " Relationship?" "Nothing particular." "I got to know him years ago, and sometimes he visited me when he was at Pest." "I beg your pardon, but we must insist on the most accurate details!" "Please tell us exactly, where and when and under what circumstances were you introduced to Ervin Szaloveczky!" "How many times, where and under what circumstances have you met, and who else were at present?" "My God!" "If it's really that important, I'll give you a detailed report!" "Hallo!" "Yes." "I kiss your hand." "Forgive me, Akos, for disturbing you, but the only reason I am calling you now, is because I have just understood some things." "No!" "Don't say a word!" "I know the reason now!" "I am calm now." "After all, you said that the sky is always blue above the clouds!" "Please, take a seat!" " But this is only for one person!" " I'm sure both of us can fit!" "Especially like this!" " And who's going to steer?" " You, if you would like!" "What about the engine?" "Well, there are two of them!" "They are already revving up!" "Can't you hear them?" "Your's is working in a steady rhythm." "What about mine?" "Almost in the same rhythm, the two engines are working almost perfectly in the same rhythm, so I think, we can trust our lives upon them." "Akos!" "There is nothing wrong with the engines!" " But..." " But?" "What's the problem then?" " Take the controls!" " Oh, my dear..." " Oh, hi!" " Hi!" "I just wrote you a letter!" "Look at that!" "You've already earned two stars!" "Two times two is four, and if I'll advance in this pace, soon, I am going to have the Little Dipper, the Big Dipper and probably even the Pleiades on my collar soon!" "By the way, I'm going to undertake the officer's exam soon, and then I'll be off fighting!" "Don't talk so silly, and don't paint the Devil on the wall!" "Thank God that we're not at war yet!" "But we could soon be!" "And I wouldn't even mind, to be honest... because I could prove that I deserve these stars, and that I deserve you too, you angel!" "Dear Listeners!" "We interrupt our broadcast with breaking news!" "The Royal Hungarian Government issued the following official statement this noon." "Berets off!" "To oath!" "We solemnly swear!" "We solemnly swear!" "That we will be loyal and obedient towards the lawfully elected governor of Hungary!" "The lawfully elected governor of Hungary!" "To the Kingdom of Hungary," "To the Kingdom of Hungary, and that we'll be faithful and that we'll be faithful" " ... to its Constitution." " ... to its Constitution." "We will obey the laws of our country!" "We will obey the laws of our country!" "We swear.." " that for our holy homeland..." " that for our holy homeland against all enemies domestic or foreign against all enemies domestic or foreign..." " ... no matter who they are.." " ... no matter who they are.." " ... at all times..." " ... at all times..." " ...everywhere..." " ...everywhere..." " ... and at every opportunity..." " ... and at every opportunity  if needed, even at the cost of sacrificing our lives and blood, ... if needed, even at the cost of sacrificing our lives and blood, ... but we will fiercely and bravely fight!" "... but we will fiercely and bravely fight!" " So help us God!" " So help us God!" " Amen." " Amen." " I've been waiting for you so much!" " I kiss your hand!" " Are you leaving as well?" " My company is leaving for the battlefield." "Naturally, I am leaving with them." "Don't leave me alone!" "After all, you're also needed at home in your current position!" "Look, Maria!" "My place is out there now, on the battlefield, alongside my men!" "Bela is also in my company, Pista joined the fighter pilots..." "Do you only care about your comrades?" "What about me?" "Don't try to compare these two things!" "We are at war now!" "My place is among those, with whom I shared all my troubles and joy, and from whom I had trained excellent soldiers!" "Akos!" "Nobody could despise you, if you would stay at home now!" "That's not true!" "I would!" "You're right, Akos." "Just go." "I'll always be with you in my thoughts." "And I'll await your return!" "My Zsuzsi!" "I couldn't come any earlier, I had too much to do with the preparations!" "I heard the news!" "I wanted to see you!" "Also, I brought you a little flyer." " What kind of flyer?" " A small one!" "A winged one!" " Roasted chicken!" " Roasted flyer!" "And some flying oil, too!" "But I don't want to see you walking in the Liget-park with Kati next Sunday!" "You brought a whole one?" "You'll never see me walking with Kati ever again!" "My walks will lead to some entirely different route from now on!" "Where else?" "That way!" "But once I return..." " Then what?" "What?" " Then  you can bring me more roasted flyer!" "At least give me some bread!" "A drum-stick!" "There is nothing wrong anymore!" "The Captain has arrived!" " I knew that old one will come back!" " So, what about the planes?" " Are they fully operational?" " Yes, Captain, Sir!" "Could you fix the left engine of the Nr 23?" " Or you just replaced it?" " The problem was identified, and fixed!" "Excellent!" "I am giving the orders today!" "I have something to tell you!" "From now on, our lives will be different!" "So, what's the story with your brother?" " Captain, Sir, I humbly report, he also applied to the Air Force." " Really?" " But he wasn't accepted because of his eyes!" " How come?" " Is he color blind or what?" " He is not blind, I beg your pardon, he just cannot see the difference between a blonde and a brunette!" "And all the grass, and the sky is uniformly black for him, too!" "So, which foot do you want me to drop this fifty-kilogrammer on?" "Leave the bombing to us, the marines!" "You are so proud of being a marine!" "So what?" "After all machines can fly by themselves these days!" "And machines can think instead of your brains!" "It was not like this 25 years ago!" "When I had to bring Lt. Pusztai back home from the Saloniki battlefield!" "We ended up in such a heavy fog, my friend, that I could even see the tip of my nose!" "So, I just choked down the gas, and called back to the Lieutenant, asked him to grab the controls!" "And then without a word, I just climbed out on the right wing, took one of the struts off, and used that to measure our altitude!" " So, at the end, luckily..." " You woke up!" " It's so nice here at your place, Maria!" " Very nice!" "What could they be doing out there, now?" "You keep sighing about this every evening!" "Are you not thinking about them perhaps?" "Well, of course." "But still, you shouldn't keep sighing about this all the time!" "We're all the same when it happens to us!" "We all think about them, and sigh!" "Hoping that this tiny sigh can fly all the way to them!" "What kind of evenings could they have out there?" "Dark?" "Moonlit?" "The same as we have here." "The same." "But still different." "Because the Hungarian soil is missing from under the starry sky above them!" "Stars of the night sky!" "Shine ever so bright!" "Light the way for the poor peasant boy!" "For the poor peasant boy light up the way..." "Because he cannot find the match of his love!" "For the poor peasant boy light up the way..." "Because he cannot find the match of his love!" "You, Feri!" "Did you get any news from back home?" " Zsuzsa wrote to me!" " Nobody wrote me," "But still I know that they've already finished the harvest back home!" "There is ground-squirrel in the pit, in the pit." "But there is nobody to flush it out, flush it out." "Come, girls!" "With spades and hoes, 'cos there is a ground squirrel in the fields of Bakomer!" "Come, girls!" "With spades and hoes,  'cos there is a ground squirrel in the fields of Bakomer!" "Swift, swift, little squirrel, big squirrel." "Now we have someone to flush it, to flush it!" "But, beware squirrel!" "I'll poke out your eye,  'cos you carried away my summer income!" "But, beware squirrel!" "I'll poke out your eye, 'cos you carried away my summer income!" "I have just been handed the pictures our scouts made." "It is about this part of the river." "At this point, following a succesful crossing, our troops will build a beach-head." "We will start the attack for this beach head." "Departure under my command at 3:04!" "Column formation," "Our paratroopers are leaving now!" "Our fighters have arrived!" "We're above enemy territory!" "Enemy planes are attacking!" "First squadron away." "Second squadron." "Assemble!" "Reserves!" "Attack at low altitude, in infantry!" "The leader is missing!" "The right engine is gone!" "The unit is damaged!" "Jump!" "No!" "Jump!" "No worries, Captain, Sir!" "We'll quickly recover from these small wounds!" "Truth to be told, that fight above the river was one hell of a fight!" "Followed by that low-attack!" "Only if that cursed fighter wouldn't have hit us with those bullets!" "It was the first time, I landed without the plane!" "And with an umbrella, like a chestnut-vendor!" "Don't disturb the patient!" "Go back to your seat!" "You should rest as well!" "Bandi!" " You see, this is how I jump!" " I see." "I am looking for Captain Torday." "He is asleep now." "Just be very quiet when you go there!" "Akos!" "I am so very much proud of you!" "You see!" "You can already limp well!" "You're lucky that you didn't land on your head!" "No, not this once." "Feri even told me, 'you are one lucky son-of-a-gun, Sanyi'..." "You must have been born in a valve cover!" "This one was born covered as well!" "An eggshell cover!" "And he is so lucky to be eaten by you!" " Roasted flyer!" " That's right!" "A capon!" "Caproni!" "2060!" " Hey, this one is not a Caproni!" " Then what?" "A hawk!" "How do you feel, Akos?" "Thank you for visiting me!" "I can feel that I am regaining my strength!" "Do you know anything about Pista?" "We were together in the battle..." "I saw him shooting down two enemy airplanes  and then  and then..." " Istvan Kelemen, Sergeant!" " Command!" "Our beloved comrade, Istvan Kelemen!" "You, who have won 3 aerial victories during your last mission." "We farewell thee!" "Your memory will live forever!" "Just as Hungarians will forever be here!" "Company." "Attention!" "Company." "Left!" "Start!" "Captain, Sir!" "I humbly report, that the fighter training company is assembled!" " Stand in guard!" "At ease!" " Stand in guard!" "At ease!" "Stand in guard!" "At ease!" "Lads!" "To replace one of our fallen comrade, I must send a volunteer to the battle operational area!" "All those, who volunteer for the task, step forward!" "Every Hungarian child is to grow wings!"
