"Let's drink, we're in a champagne mood!" "Let's drink, today the girl becomes a lady." "I raise my glass, My heart is full," "This minute, this day is full of happiness." "Where's my tissue, ah, here." "If I drink anymore, I'll pass out." "I would take anything, if it cures me of this." "Let's drink, the champagne is so special." "Let's drink, the world is so strange." "Let's drink, we're feeling like champagne." "Let's drink, today the girl becomes a lady." "Annika, how many times have I gotten into trouble with my crazy ideas, and you stood by me?" "!" "I never would have made it without you." "Nandi, don't drink so much!" "Tell me, I'm not the only happy one!" "My parents are so happy!" "They saw how fond I am of Zsolt, and they finally accepted the man." "If it's Zsolt, then let it be Zsolt." "Oh!" "Guess what happened!" "The head nurse showed up, in a huge silk ballgown and a giant hat." "Everyone thinks she's the bride." "And everyone came!" "The Varkonys, the Bellas, the Lovases, the hospital cheif, the other doctors, the nurses, everybody!" "You're the only one missing." "But what can a person do." "If you're going to be that way." "No, please, Lord, I'm so sorry, forgive me, I beg you." "Annie, are you out of your mind?" "You don't have to come!" "It hurts so much, I'm so sorry." "Are you crazy?" "We won't be upset." "Nandi wants to know where the toilet is." "I think it's the second door on the right?" "I said let's hold the reception in that fancy 'Alabardos' place, but no." "Then in old the Old Pest-Buda!" "They were against it." "What about the Intercontinental!" "If there's no other place." "But Dr. Karcagi insisted on the Hilton." "Well, so be it." "It hits me, we're going to the Hilton!" "If we can fit 120 people there..." "Forgive me!" "I beg you!" "But Annie!" "But Nandi?" "!" "I don't Fight with frogs!" "Kids, you really can't handle your alcohol!" "Well, I never..." "There's a frog in the bathroom." "Welcome, dear spirit." "I felt you would come." "Bendegus, my late husband, if that's you..." "Take a step towards my beloved Bendi's portrait." "Bendegus, give me a sign!" "You're looking damned ugly, my sweet old man." "Bendegus!" "If it's you, take three steps towards our darling Ilonka's bust." "That's Ilonka over there, you ugly fool!" "You're still as ugly a fool, as you were in life." "Aunt ZsoFi!" "Let's say hello to Aunt ZsoFi!" "I must drink with ZsoFi, too!" "Aunt ZsoFi, what an angel!" "I woke her in the middle of a dream." "Annie, I've gotta go." "Zsolt has no idea where I am!" "I'll get Nandi back somehow." "Listen to me!" "Good thing that Nandi can't hear us." "Strictly confidential!" "I'm going to tell you a secret." "Good old Zsolt can't know." "Husbands don't need to know everything, right?" "Bless you." "I'll be going soon." "I've got 200 people waiting on me." " Forgive me!" "Oh, forgive me!" "Don't be crazy!" "Sit up and listen." "Listen, this is the secret!" "No word of this to Old Zsolt!" "Before Zsolt there was Pete." "Because I was lonely, feeling alienated and I needed Pete," "So at the age of 14, I was his." "Pete left me, but I didn't cry afterward." "But I got lonely again and feeling alienated." "Good old Zsolt wouldn't get it." "But Annie, of all of the thirty some men afterward..." "I never loved anybody as much as that Pete." " What are you laughing at?" " I didn't say a thing." "Funny." "Sounded like gargling..." "Nandi is snoring... hm." "I'm so nervous, I need a smoke." "Funny, like somebody gargling." "I have to go." "We'll both say our 'I do', and that will be for life." "Oh, Zsolt!" "You must never know that I'm marrying you to get revenge on my true love, Bertalan!" "This is a real insult, Bertalan!" "You recognized my beauty but..." "you belittled my education, and called me a simple mid-level apparatchik." "But Zsolt is waiting for me!" "You can be late for the movies, the ushers won't scold you." "And clapping late at the curtain of a theatre play is Fine." "Fields waiting for spring, sleep beneath the snow," "Day and night are so patient, The sun and the moon are so slow." "But run!" "And rush!" "And scratch!" "And bite!" "And don't try to save your voice." "If he rings, if he calls if he says it's good here and he'll share your troubles." "That's a dream!" " But here's the ring on my hand." "That's a dream!" " It's time for a celebration." "That's a dream!" " You're wrong if you're thinking..." "I can only receive, and I can't give!" "But run!" "And rush!" "And scratch!" "And bite!" "That's a dream!" " But here's the ring on my hand." "That's a dream!" " It's time for a celebration." "That's a dream!" "You're wrong if you think" "I can only get, and I can't give!" "As many long years go by, As flames die to embers, I'll glow." "The passion will go, but I'll have devotion." "That's a dream!" " Here's the ring on my Finger." "That's a dream!" " It's time for a celebration." "That's a dream!" "You're wrong if you think that I can only receive, and I can't give!" "It'll be good to listen to his coughing, and give him a quiet nod." "Or laugh about nothing." "Or call him by his pet name." "A nice present on my birthday." "A book, some english linen." "Sometimes it will be fine to make fun of our common friends." "If he explains or scolds me, I'll devotedly listen," "'Don't you be such a wild one, and try not to act so ignorant.'" "It'll be good to listen to his coughing, and give him a quiet nod." "Or laugh about nothing." "Or call him by his pet name." "You'll be my loyal companion, You know, I'm a twice failed suicide." "Because loneliness is murder." "But now I'll have a man beside me." "He isn't getting a bad deal." "I really do love him with all my heart." "That qualified window dresser!" "I love his sense of humor, his gentle heart, his bony face, his balding head, his husky voice, his bachelor whimsies!" "Zsolt!" "Give me your hand... and stay with me until the very end!" "This comic, tragic drama!" "Passion is bittersweet." "The curtain falls." "This comic, tragic drama!" "One day all dreams end." "The curtain falls." "This is the life of a diver:" "Bottles and oxygen!" "Those words, I thought, you can't..." "how would ever you understand?" "This is the life of a diver:" "Bottles and oxygen!" "Those words, I thought, you can't..." "how would you ever understand?" "Come on, Diver!" "Truly, how deep is this soul?" "Reach out your hand to me and you will see." "This comic, tragic drama!"

" I've gone for a walk by the Danube." " Fine, go on!" "ONE YEAR LATER" "Zsolt!" "Welcome!" "Anna Paradi, Med school freshman?" "That's me." "Come on in!" "So glad to see you." "How's the baby?" "He must be big!" "And Klari's health?" " I hardly get to see you and Klari." " We noticed." "We talk about you often." " Unfortunately..." " University keeps you busy!" "Listen, If I lift something heavy, and my back hurts for a week if I bend over." " What could that be?" " Age!" "You're getting rusty." "Like us all." "I'm taking this Phormifer, Pharmifor..." "you know a pharmi..." "Pharmifor." "Listen, darling, next week we're having the christening." " The baby's christening!" "Wow!" " Anni, you're our closest friend." "You're the only godmother we could imagine?" "Nobody else." "Understand?" "No-body." "There's a little party afterward, at the company, it's a formality..." "Anni, Klari is terribly nervous." "She's taking that Flexaron, Flexiren but they shouldn't make fun of me." "Zsolt, I am who I am!" " I remember, last year..." "Leave me alone." "It's idiotic." "Why should I be somebody else?" "This is a strict self-examination!" "But you're right." "Here at home, there's this... invisible membrane around you." " What membrane?" " Everybody's surrounded by one." "Sure." "That's why it's so hard to establish human relationships." " We shouldn't be surprised if..." "You and me, we couldn't break through" " No, we couldn't." "Even though..." " we'd have been good together." " Klari!" "Look if Klari couldn't..." "Well, if she knows one thing sure..." "She really can break through that membrane." "I envy her." "I envy you." " There was Charley, then an Andrew." " Was?" "Only was?" "Bad memories." "Neither lasted a week." "Let's forget it." "Darling Anna, you and your standards." "You expect so much, you're too picky!" "I am not." "I'm just not made for life." "All I'm going to say is:" "Come on down off your high horse." "We warmly welcome dear mothers and fathers, godmothers and godfathers, guests and the little ones." "We're gathered here for a real celebration of joy." "To greet these new lives, our future hopes, the little people who will carry on our work and continue our fight to realize our dreams for our future of this world." "I'd like to announce that Miklos Alaki and his wife, Zsuzsanna had a baby in Budapest, in 1979..." "I'm just saying, Annie's a good example." "And if anyone dared hurt her, I'd..." "Too bad she has glasses." "What do you think?" "Is it a disadvantage for a woman to wear glasses?" "Say something." "Don't you envy Annie?" "For her spiritual power." "Her sense of purpose." "I do admit I envy her, friend." "She'll have her degree in no time." "What I wouldn't give for one." "I know you're in love with Annie." "A little." "The beautiful spinster." "But I'm not jealous of her." "Well, yes, I am jealous!" "Where are the baby vitamins?" "Oh, here they are." "Where's the bubble bath?" "It's not on the vanity shelf?" "Wait, I'll get it for you." "I owe you a confession." "I've... deceived you." "Yes, I admit it." "I've deceived you." "I mean, I sent in an application." "I applied to the medical university." "Zsolt!" "I want to become a doctor, too!" "THE END"
