I’ll not want

14
00:02:27,180 --> 00:02:38,150
He makes me down to lie

00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,450
in green pastures

You pig! Grow up, can’t you?

20
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,740
Coffee anyone?

21
00:03:29,540 --> 00:03:31,870
-Franta?
-No, I must dash.

22
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,380
Another job?
You must be rolling in it.

23
00:03:35,460 --> 00:03:42,510
Can you lend me a hundred
till Monday? You’ll get it back

24
00:03:43,260 --> 00:03:45,970
I know. Or I wouldn’t lend it

25
00:03:46,050 --> 00:03:47,010
Thanks

26
00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:09,080
At last!

27
00:04:34,020 --> 00:04:38,270
Your car is ideal. So practical

28
00:04:39,900 --> 00:04:41,780
Get yourself a Trabant

29
00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:46,610
You simply can’t keep up.
I’m sorry, but you can‘t.

30
00:04:46,700 --> 00:04:52,240
There are plenty of lesser
cellists who can play at funerals.

31
00:04:52,330 --> 00:04:54,200
How much is a Trabant?

32
00:04:55,620 --> 00:04:58,580
-New or second-hand?
-Second-hand

33
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,840
You’d need a hatch-back.
Twenty, twenty-five thousand

34
00:05:04,550 --> 00:05:05,670
Slow down

35
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,140
They looked better from behind

36
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,480
That’s why I didn’t look round

37
00:05:24,150 --> 00:05:26,030
Bills, bills!

38
00:05:27,070 --> 00:05:30,490
Vultures, the lot of you

39
00:05:50,090 --> 00:05:54,390
Helenka. It’s me, Louka

40
00:05:55,100 --> 00:06:00,190
I suddenly felt so lonely
so guess who I thought of?

41
00:06:03,150 --> 00:06:04,940
You, of course

42
00:06:05,690 --> 00:06:09,700
Would you be scared to spend
a night in my ‘tower’?

43
00:06:10,450 --> 00:06:12,200
To the theatre?

44
00:06:13,660 --> 00:06:17,370
No, I’m not cross. How could I be?

45
00:06:17,710 --> 00:06:21,040
Run along then. ‘Bye

46
00:06:34,810 --> 00:06:38,600
Zuzi? It’s me, Louka

47
00:06:38,980 --> 00:06:45,190
Zuzi, I suddenly felt so lonely
so guess who I thought of?

48
00:06:48,690 --> 00:06:50,150
Oh, he’s home?

49
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:52,990
Right. ‘Bye

SOCIALISM - OUR SECURITY

51
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:05,790
Czechoslovak socialism is now more
democratic but unchanged in essence

52
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:11,010
Economically inefficient, it has
no regard for human dignity

53
00:07:11,340 --> 00:07:13,590
It’s on the point of collapse

54
00:07:13,970 --> 00:07:15,720
Twenty thousand. . .

55
00:07:16,140 --> 00:07:21,270
. . .for Trabant needing repair.
Daylight robbery!

56
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,400
This is Radio Free Europe

57
00:07:28,530 --> 00:07:29,860
Good morning

58
00:07:31,900 --> 00:07:35,530
The lettering needs restoring,
doesn’t it?

59
00:07:36,370 --> 00:07:39,660
-It’s the rain
-I could put it right

60
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,250
I restore headstones.

61
00:07:43,420 --> 00:07:48,090
And it’s cheap. A gold letter costs
five crowns. Silver costs three.

62
00:07:48,170 --> 00:07:53,090
I recommend gold.
The silver wouldn’t stand out.

63
00:07:53,180 --> 00:07:55,470
How much would you charge?

64
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,010
There aren’t many letters

65
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,190
Thirty-six letters. That would be
one hundred and eighty crowns

66
00:08:09,150 --> 00:08:11,490
Why is it so expensive?

67
00:08:12,030 --> 00:08:15,950
Because you have to use.. .

68
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,830
.. .real gold dust

69
00:08:21,250 --> 00:08:26,500
Pity there are two T’s in his name.
You’d have saved five crowns

70
00:08:26,580 --> 00:08:28,080
Franta!

71
00:08:29,130 --> 00:08:33,800
You won’t recognize
the grave next time, Mrs Horáčková.

72
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,760
All in gold.

73
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:45,940
He makes me lie down

74
00:08:46,940 --> 00:08:50,020
in green pastures

75
00:08:50,110 --> 00:08:54,360
And leads me. . .

76
00:08:55,110 --> 00:08:59,570
.. .the quiet waters by

77
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,290
Do you know how long
I’ve waited for this?

78
00:09:49,630 --> 00:09:54,340
Two years. Ever since
that usherette’s funeral

79
00:09:55,050 --> 00:09:58,340
-It’s awful
-All that time!

80
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:05,060
No, awful that we measure time
in funerals - like funeral directors

81
00:10:05,470 --> 00:10:08,730
You were never married, do you?

82
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,230
My late father always said. ..

83
00:10:12,570 --> 00:10:16,320
If you want a musical career,
don’t marry

84
00:10:16,650 --> 00:10:19,110
Stay single

85
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,490
Celibate, no kissing.

86
00:10:26,370 --> 00:10:28,790
Do you always get hiccups?

87
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,250
Yes, always afterwards

88
00:10:31,330 --> 00:10:35,170
When it’s. .. that good

89
00:10:38,300 --> 00:10:40,010
Try this

90
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,350
Bite your little finger

91
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:49,350
It puts pressure on
the hiccup points

92
00:10:51,020 --> 00:10:57,030
Or try lifting your left leg
at the same time as your right arm. . .

93
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,950
. ..so the blood drains out

94
00:11:04,660 --> 00:11:07,700
First time I heard that.
What’s that noise?

95
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,080
It’s the pigeons

96
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,500
Sharpening their beaks
on the window sill

97
00:11:17,550 --> 00:11:22,760
I must have got it wrong
Lift up your left leg

98
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,720
That’s my right leg

99
00:11:26,060 --> 00:11:28,680
The other way about then

100
00:11:29,020 --> 00:11:35,190
Why did they chuck you
out of the Philharmonic?

101
00:11:36,900 --> 00:11:39,940
I don’t feel like talking about it

102
00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:42,070
Then don’t

103
00:11:44,530 --> 00:11:47,200
Guess what? It works

104
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:49,830
I told you it would

105
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,290
Why are they
sharpening their beaks?

106
00:11:55,630 --> 00:11:59,500
That’s easily explained

107
00:12:02,220 --> 00:12:04,300
So they’re sharp

108
00:12:05,050 --> 00:12:07,220
You are an idiot!

109
00:12:21,940 --> 00:12:24,570
-Hi, comrade
-God bless you too

110
00:12:24,990 --> 00:12:30,080
I’ve loads of orders for you.
Three in gold, two in silver

111
00:12:30,410 --> 00:12:31,580
Here you are

112
00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:35,960
It’s all written down

113
00:12:36,290 --> 00:12:41,300
Mr Broz, a grave-digger like you
brings joy to the whole cemetery

114
00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:44,760
You’re doing it so well

115
00:12:45,340 --> 00:12:50,050
I’m trying not to smudge it.

116
00:12:51,140 --> 00:12:54,430
Mr. Louka, tell us
about the concert in America.

117
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,770
-Which one?
-The one at the hall.

118
00:12:57,860 --> 00:13:03,780
-I already told you about it.
-But Ladik hasn‘t heard it yet.

119
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:10,780
We played ‘‘My Country’’ in New York.

120
00:13:10,910 --> 00:13:13,870
-By Dvorak.
-By Smetana.

121
00:13:14,620 --> 00:13:19,040
Carnegie Hall was packed.

122
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,800
We didn’t get much of a welcome.

123
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:30,760
We were tired after our trip,
but we got a second wind.

124
00:13:30,890 --> 00:13:33,220
Which races were there?

125
00:13:33,930 --> 00:13:40,400
Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans. . .

126
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:45,360
I wondered what
this one big black fellow

127
00:13:45,820 --> 00:13:53,580
could get out of songs
about places he didn’t know.

128
00:13:53,950 --> 00:13:55,830
Now listen.

129
00:13:56,460 --> 00:14:04,590
When we finished playing
you could hear a pin drop.

130
00:14:05,510 --> 00:14:09,090
-Then all hell broke loose.
-Applause.

131
00:14:09,180 --> 00:14:16,220
We were in shock.
It was like an avalanche.

132
00:14:16,980 --> 00:14:29,110
While we were bowing
I could see the black man clapping.

133
00:14:29,860 --> 00:14:37,910
Tears were streaming down his face.

134
00:14:38,580 --> 00:14:45,090
Music exceeds race and nationality.

135
00:14:46,300 --> 00:14:48,590
I was beside myself.

136
00:14:49,510 --> 00:14:51,380
And I’m finished.

137
00:15:17,870 --> 00:15:21,250
Don’t touch it!

138
00:15:21,710 --> 00:15:24,710
You only owe me 37,600 now

139
00:15:24,790 --> 00:15:28,880
I’m doing my best
but I really need a car

140
00:15:29,090 --> 00:15:33,220
We could sort out the car problem

141
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:36,010
Yes, but how would I pay?

142
00:15:36,100 --> 00:15:39,890
Exactly my point.
I’ve a wonderful job for you

143
00:15:40,310 --> 00:15:44,770
30,000 for a day’s work
Straight into your pocket

144
00:15:44,860 --> 00:15:48,190
Daddy, Andy has a tick

145
00:15:50,690 --> 00:15:53,150
Do you have a pet at home?

146
00:15:53,490 --> 00:15:55,110
No, no pets

147
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,530
Do you have a baby?

148
00:15:58,240 --> 00:15:59,540
Nor a baby

149
00:15:59,620 --> 00:16:01,620
What do you have?

150
00:16:01,750 --> 00:16:05,290
Go out and play
I’ll deal with the tick

151
00:16:07,750 --> 00:16:12,340
I won’t beat about the bush.
It’s a question of marriage

152
00:16:12,420 --> 00:16:15,260
I have this old ‘aunt’

153
00:16:15,550 --> 00:16:19,930
I’m not marrying
Least of all an old aunt

154
00:16:20,020 --> 00:16:22,810
-She’s Russian
-Worse still

155
00:16:23,020 --> 00:16:25,560
It’s not the aunt, it’s her niece

156
00:16:25,650 --> 00:16:27,560
Not even a niece

157
00:16:27,650 --> 00:16:31,440
Just a fake marriage

158
00:16:32,860 --> 00:16:37,780
No, I’m against marriage
in any shape or form

159
00:16:38,910 --> 00:16:41,490
Cheers, cheers!

160
00:16:46,250 --> 00:16:48,790
She’s visiting her aunt.. .

161
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,630
.. .and needs our papers
to avoid being sent back

162
00:16:55,050 --> 00:16:58,550
Sounds fishy. It’s not for me

163
00:16:59,010 --> 00:17:04,230
In six months you get a divorce

164
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,940
-Is Andy here?
-He has a tick

165
00:17:07,020 --> 00:17:09,560
I thought I’d lost you

166
00:17:09,690 --> 00:17:11,820
We’re talking business

167
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:15,240
-You know what I think
-Leave us alone

168
00:17:16,360 --> 00:17:22,540
A fake wedding, Mr Louka.
Just pretending! For 40 grand

169
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,080
It was 30 before

170
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,290
She’d willingly pay you 40

171
00:17:28,420 --> 00:17:32,710
You could buy a car
and still repay me 20,000

172
00:17:33,260 --> 00:17:36,470
It’s better
than renovating headstones

173
00:17:37,260 --> 00:17:39,510
Graves, graves

174
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,220
A heck of a job

175
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:46,520
You’ve lots of pets

176
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,400
A grave-digger has to have
living things around him

177
00:17:51,820 --> 00:17:56,940
Her name is Nadezda.
It’s just a business deal

178
00:17:58,990 --> 00:18:03,200
I can’t, Mr Broz.
It’s not for me

179
00:18:22,260 --> 00:18:24,220
Franta, stop that

180
00:18:35,070 --> 00:18:38,320
Come to see your mother,
have you?

181
00:18:38,650 --> 00:18:40,820
Yes, how are you?

182
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,780
-Hi Fanda!
-Hi! -Surprised?

183
00:18:45,790 --> 00:18:48,200
They’re finished already.

184
00:18:48,290 --> 00:18:51,500
-Know the name of this building?
-Nope.

185
00:18:51,580 --> 00:18:54,290
-Coconut.
-Coconut?

186
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,710
Meaning ‘‘Communist church’’.

187
00:18:59,470 --> 00:19:02,340
-Hi. -Hi.
-Geeze. . .

188
00:19:20,570 --> 00:19:22,160
Frankie!

189
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,490
Go home and practise.
Today was too awful!

190
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,920
I thought you might come.
Guess what I’ve made for lunch

191
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:35,880
Potato dumplings

192
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,510
I was in the chemist’s.
I said ‘‘I’ll make him dumplings’’

193
00:19:39,590 --> 00:19:41,340
That’s great

194
00:19:42,550 --> 00:19:45,720
Vic has written.
Look in the cupboard

195
00:19:46,050 --> 00:19:50,980
It arrived yesterday.
He sent beautiful photographs.

196
00:19:51,060 --> 00:19:54,100
Yet you didn’t even send a postcard.

197
00:19:54,190 --> 00:19:58,360
The Philharmonic was in Belgium.
Were you there?

198
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,900
I heard about it on the radio.
You can’t even drop your mom a line.

199
00:20:02,990 --> 00:20:04,950
There wasn’t enough time.

200
00:20:05,030 --> 00:20:10,120
The Belgians dragged us around
from pillar to post.

201
00:20:11,790 --> 00:20:14,330
Read it aloud

202
00:20:14,670 --> 00:20:16,540
Maybe later

203
00:20:16,630 --> 00:20:22,340
Sometimes I think you don’t like
your brother. What did he do to you?

204
00:20:22,630 --> 00:20:25,550
What he did was leave

205
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:31,600
And you hold that against him?
He went with nothing. ..

206
00:20:31,980 --> 00:20:34,940
. . .and now he has a good business

207
00:20:35,020 --> 00:20:37,560
And I have bugger all

208
00:20:37,650 --> 00:20:42,570
You’re a virtuoso player,
you’ll have money again one day

209
00:20:42,650 --> 00:20:46,240
Here you are. There’s lots more

210
00:20:46,870 --> 00:20:51,120
Mr Holecek says
we need new guttering

211
00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:54,250
-New guttering?
-Yes

212
00:20:54,410 --> 00:20:57,750
The gutters have rusted through

213
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,800
He said 2,000 would cover it
Materials and labour

214
00:21:03,470 --> 00:21:09,350
I can’t afford it.
This house has cleaned me out

215
00:21:09,550 --> 00:21:13,270
I’ve had to sell my car. I’m in debt

216
00:21:13,350 --> 00:21:16,020
Where am I to find the money?

217
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:18,600
Don’t talk like that

218
00:21:18,730 --> 00:21:23,730
Frankie, the house is yours
now you’ve bought Vic out

219
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,320
But for that, we’d have lost it
to the state, when Vic emigrated

220
00:21:28,410 --> 00:21:31,830
Would you want me to live
with strangers?

221
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:37,710
We’ll finish our coffee,
then we’ll play. Okay?

222
00:21:37,790 --> 00:21:40,580
We haven’t played together in ages.

223
00:21:40,670 --> 00:21:42,550
See you tonight!

224
00:21:44,010 --> 00:21:45,880
Just don’t fall!

225
00:21:54,060 --> 00:21:57,350
Still playing for corpses, Franta?

226
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,360
What about you? Still playing
for gall-bladder patients?

227
00:22:04,530 --> 00:22:09,860
Yes. Come see us.
The music at the spa is more cheerful.

228
00:22:10,870 --> 00:22:15,660
Bye! I’m hurrying to catch the bus.
Goodbye, Mrs Loukova.

229
00:22:15,750 --> 00:22:20,500
You, maestro,
are going to play at the colonade.

230
00:22:21,460 --> 00:22:25,460
What’s this about corpses?

231
00:22:25,550 --> 00:22:28,840
That’s what we call
a concert audience. ..

232
00:22:28,930 --> 00:22:32,350
.. .when it’s dead
and doesn’t respond

233
00:22:34,100 --> 00:22:39,770
It was blocked here. Otherwise
the gutters are in fairly good shape

234
00:22:42,110 --> 00:22:45,520
Except for the odd spot

235
00:22:49,990 --> 00:22:52,820
Well, I’ll be blowed!

236
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,080
How did this get here?

237
00:22:59,410 --> 00:23:03,710
It’s not very valuable, Frankie

238
00:23:04,170 --> 00:23:08,130
Just a piece of costume jewelry

239
00:23:08,260 --> 00:23:12,260
That’s not entirely certain.
How did it get there?

240
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,180
Where did you get it?

241
00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:19,140
I found it

242
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,980
And what do you think it’s worth?

243
00:23:24,060 --> 00:23:26,360
You tell me

244
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:31,570
I could give you five
or maybe ten crowns for it

245
00:23:36,990 --> 00:23:40,580
A couple are walking along
your street

246
00:23:40,830 --> 00:23:45,500
She says ‘‘You and this trinket
can both go to hell!’’

247
00:23:45,630 --> 00:23:50,710
And she tosses it into the air.
That’s how I see it

248
00:23:51,170 --> 00:23:54,510
Mr Broz, I think I agree

249
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,760
Of course.
There’s no other explanation

250
00:24:00,020 --> 00:24:05,770
I mean this bogus marriage.
I might agree to it

251
00:24:12,570 --> 00:24:17,370
You can talk to Nadezda in German

252
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:22,660
She translates
from Russian into German

253
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,960
I’m afraid I speak neither

254
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,550
Oh, you Czechs,
the story of your life!

255
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,010
First you’re allergic to Germans
and then it’s Russians

256
00:24:34,090 --> 00:24:38,430
It’s not that.
I’ve no head for languages

257
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:43,060
Anyway, who cares
how they talk together?

258
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,020
Every Czech knows some Russian

259
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,820
Every Czech speak a bit Russian

260
00:24:51,900 --> 00:24:53,110
Except me

261
00:24:53,900 --> 00:24:55,910
Except him?

262
00:24:56,870 --> 00:25:00,490
They won’t suspect.
What’s important. ..

263
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:07,250
.. .is for Maestro Louka to know there
are no tricks. Divorce in six months

264
00:25:09,130 --> 00:25:13,590
A fake wedding, that’s all.
No hidden agenda

265
00:25:13,670 --> 00:25:19,510
Nadezda has a little boy.
And she’s very young

266
00:25:20,260 --> 00:25:25,230
You could be her father.
What would she do with you?

267
00:25:28,060 --> 00:25:32,650
Tamara, tell him
it has to be a real wedding

268
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:37,450
We want a real wedding

269
00:25:37,660 --> 00:25:41,700
There must be a reception. ..

270
00:25:41,790 --> 00:25:49,500
.. .and a wedding night.
Everything like a normal wedding

271
00:25:49,750 --> 00:25:51,250
A wedding night?

272
00:25:51,340 --> 00:25:56,090
The first night you’ll sleep
together. But in different rooms

273
00:25:56,220 --> 00:26:00,340
To avoid suspicion -
in case you’re followed

274
00:26:05,850 --> 00:26:07,310
A deposit

275
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,900
Have you any idea how much
it costs to fix Russian officials?

276
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,320
You don’t want to know

277
00:27:07,660 --> 00:27:10,580
Franta, I’m amazed

278
00:27:10,670 --> 00:27:12,960
Good luck

279
00:27:14,590 --> 00:27:17,460
She’s a beauty, a real beauty!

280
00:27:17,670 --> 00:27:19,380
Must you be everywhere?

281
00:27:24,220 --> 00:27:29,770
-Hi, Eman. Louka here.
-They’re blowing their horns. . .

282
00:27:33,270 --> 00:27:37,820
Keep this to yourself.
Huh? This is a fun place.

283
00:27:37,900 --> 00:27:42,990
-There was a girl who loved him.. .
-Please be quiet.

284
00:27:43,490 --> 00:27:50,120
Don’t tell anyone
what you saw at Vysehrad, Eman.

285
00:27:51,710 --> 00:27:56,210
I don’t want anyone
to know about the wedding.

286
00:27:57,590 --> 00:28:02,470
-Don’t sing so loud.
-It’s either all or nothing.

287
00:28:02,550 --> 00:28:06,100
Keep it under wraps.

288
00:28:06,390 --> 00:28:08,260
Who’d you tell?

289
00:28:08,810 --> 00:28:11,020
You’re an idiot, Eman.

290
00:28:13,140 --> 00:28:17,060
And with his finger on the trigger

291
00:28:17,860 --> 00:28:20,530
he looks into the bushes. . .

292
00:29:09,740 --> 00:29:10,830
Friends

293
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,370
Druzya

294
00:29:12,500 --> 00:29:16,540
I like my wife, Nadezda,
very much

295
00:29:16,620 --> 00:29:20,250
I like my wife very much

296
00:29:23,510 --> 00:29:25,510
I’ve decided. . .

297
00:29:27,220 --> 00:29:30,640
. . .that Nadezda my wife and I. . .

298
00:29:31,060 --> 00:29:35,430
. . .shall enjoy a truly beautiful.. .

299
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,270
. . .real wedding night

300
00:29:40,230 --> 00:29:42,820
-What did he say?
-A joke

301
00:29:42,900 --> 00:29:48,450
It would be a great pity
if a Czech man denied. . .

302
00:29:48,620 --> 00:29:56,160
. ..his Russian wife
her unde. . . undeni. . .

303
00:29:56,750 --> 00:30:00,080
. . .undeniable right

304
00:30:02,630 --> 00:30:05,840
-Wait, where are you going?
-Frantisek, you drink a lot.

305
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,670
Yes, we drank a lot. ..

306
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,220
Fabulous, Mr Louka, but have a seat.

307
00:30:11,300 --> 00:30:16,350
Because we drank so much,
I now ask that the guests

308
00:30:16,430 --> 00:30:21,520
such as Broz,
return to their own homes

309
00:30:22,110 --> 00:30:24,780
and leave the couple alone.

310
00:30:25,780 --> 00:30:27,650
Come, Nadyezda.

311
00:30:27,950 --> 00:30:33,370
We should all keep in mind
that a wedding night. . .

312
00:30:33,450 --> 00:30:36,620
You only get one wedding night.

313
00:30:37,710 --> 00:30:45,250
I’d like Nadyezda Ivanovna
to remember Prague for a long time.

314
00:30:45,420 --> 00:30:51,680
And I promise tonight I’ll be as hot-
blooded as any Russian Don Juan

315
00:30:51,890 --> 00:30:53,260
Idiot!

316
00:30:53,510 --> 00:30:55,310
I’ll be. ..

317
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,350
. ..a real Cassanova!

318
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:04,190
Mr Louka, they don’t understand
your jokes. They’re terrified

319
00:31:04,690 --> 00:31:06,530
Very proper

320
00:31:06,610 --> 00:31:11,700
Every bride should be terrified
on her wedding night

321
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:18,620
The baby’s coming.
The contractions have started

322
00:31:21,580 --> 00:31:24,000
Go home. Look after the children

323
00:31:26,460 --> 00:31:28,260
I have to go

324
00:31:56,780 --> 00:31:59,450
Nadezda!

325
00:32:01,330 --> 00:32:03,330
Wife!

326
00:32:42,710 --> 00:32:44,460
New, isn’t it?

327
00:32:44,580 --> 00:32:46,250
Not quite

328
00:32:46,330 --> 00:32:50,500
No? It looks pretty new to me

329
00:32:50,710 --> 00:32:53,470
No rust anywhere

330
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,050
These cars never rust

331
00:32:56,140 --> 00:32:59,810
Then it was a good buy

332
00:33:02,810 --> 00:33:08,310
Look at all those Russians!
They’re like locusts

333
00:33:11,190 --> 00:33:15,150
Would you believe it? Lots of Czechs
do business with them

334
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:20,240
It’s certainly cheaper - diesel,
petrol, coal

335
00:33:21,490 --> 00:33:25,910
But collaborating like that!
Fine patriots, they are

336
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,460
When the Russians invaded. . .

337
00:33:29,540 --> 00:33:33,510
.. .people said they wouldn’t even
give them stale bread or water

338
00:33:33,590 --> 00:33:36,930
And look at them now

339
00:33:37,010 --> 00:33:42,430
Just as well
you didn’t live to see it

340
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,310
I‘ve brought you coffee and chocolate.

341
00:33:46,390 --> 00:33:50,810
Did you give a concert abroad?
Where? I missed that.

342
00:33:50,900 --> 00:33:54,150
In.. . In Switzerland.

343
00:33:55,700 --> 00:34:00,200
The Swiss have always
had the best chocolate.

344
00:34:08,330 --> 00:34:10,080
Like a lift?

345
00:34:16,340 --> 00:34:18,300
Is this your dowry?

346
00:34:19,220 --> 00:34:22,680
I see people can’t keep
their mouths shut

347
00:34:23,470 --> 00:34:25,140
It’s a nice car

348
00:34:25,890 --> 00:34:29,520
You’re better off
in more ways than one

349
00:34:29,650 --> 00:34:33,520
-Look, this marriage.. .
-I’m not interested

350
00:34:33,940 --> 00:34:37,320
I live alone
Nothing has changed

351
00:34:37,450 --> 00:34:41,700
I’m such an idiot, I nearly
divorced because of you

352
00:34:42,450 --> 00:34:45,620
Klara, let’s go to my place

353
00:34:47,410 --> 00:34:50,250
Stop, I’d like to get out

354
00:34:52,290 --> 00:34:55,050
I want to get out

355
00:35:10,310 --> 00:35:13,480
I’ve done all your washing
and ironing

356
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,270
Great

357
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:19,690
We’re supposed to
decorate the windows

358
00:35:19,820 --> 00:35:24,410
Another anniversary?
I can’t keep up with them

359
00:35:24,740 --> 00:35:30,540
They’re judging again
for the best-decorated building

360
00:35:31,420 --> 00:35:35,130
My windows are too high
for them to see

361
00:35:35,210 --> 00:35:39,340
Don’t you believe it.
They watch us like hawks

362
00:35:39,420 --> 00:35:44,970
I darned two pairs of socks for you.
Should’ve seen the holes.

363
00:35:45,050 --> 00:35:49,770
Put up one Russian flag
and one of ours.. .

364
00:35:51,230 --> 00:35:53,940
.. .so they leave me in peace

365
00:35:54,020 --> 00:36:00,740
That’s 70 crowns. I’ll add it
to the 200 you already owe me

366
00:36:00,820 --> 00:36:03,490
You can have it right now

367
00:36:03,610 --> 00:36:05,370
Right now?

368
00:36:05,780 --> 00:36:07,490
I’ve no change

369
00:36:07,580 --> 00:36:09,830
Keep it

370
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,620
How do you do?

371
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,250
Mr Stocklasa sent me

372
00:36:18,340 --> 00:36:22,800
He did, did he?
Hold this

373
00:36:33,620 --> 00:36:36,670
And what was
Mr Stoklasa’s message?

374
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,300
He wanted you to look me over

375
00:36:41,630 --> 00:36:45,130
That is, he wanted you to
hear me play

376
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:53,940
-You’re putting flags up?
-No way. I’m too old for all that

377
00:36:54,060 --> 00:36:55,020
Like a drink?

378
00:36:55,100 --> 00:36:56,600
Yes, please

379
00:36:58,270 --> 00:37:01,900
I play the viola
but I want to play the cello

380
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,030
-Why. . .
-Do that?

381
00:37:06,740 --> 00:37:09,370
I like the size

382
00:37:11,540 --> 00:37:15,500
You prefer big instruments, do you?

383
00:37:17,460 --> 00:37:19,840
Play something, then

384
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,470
You’ve long fingers. That’s good

385
00:37:32,890 --> 00:37:35,690
I feel nervous with you there

386
00:37:38,940 --> 00:37:42,070
Squeeze more with your knees

387
00:37:43,780 --> 00:37:45,530
Shall I play?

388
00:37:45,650 --> 00:37:47,740
Like that?

389
00:38:09,180 --> 00:38:10,890
Louka?

390
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:13,930
Which friend?

391
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,600
This minute?

392
00:38:17,850 --> 00:38:20,060
Who are you?

393
00:38:24,570 --> 00:38:26,320
Blanka

394
00:38:27,860 --> 00:38:30,410
We must make it some other time

395
00:38:30,490 --> 00:38:32,160
That’s a pity

396
00:38:33,410 --> 00:38:34,910
I know

397
00:38:35,910 --> 00:38:39,080
Come to the Green Tree

398
00:38:41,170 --> 00:38:43,670
Come to the Green Tree!

399
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,420
Can I sit or do we move again?

400
00:38:48,510 --> 00:38:50,090
It’s all right here

401
00:38:50,180 --> 00:38:53,850
Are you a spy?
Is grave-digging a hobby?

402
00:38:53,930 --> 00:38:57,180
Mr Louka, we’re in deep shit

403
00:38:59,940 --> 00:39:01,650
Nadezda has emigrated

404
00:39:01,730 --> 00:39:03,310
Where to?

405
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:04,730
Germany

406
00:39:04,820 --> 00:39:07,110
West Germany?

407
00:39:08,780 --> 00:39:12,530
She went as an interpreter
and stayed on

408
00:39:13,990 --> 00:39:17,750
She’s got a bloke.
A married businessman

409
00:39:17,830 --> 00:39:23,420
She’s nuts about him. But I thought
she’d have him visit her here

410
00:39:27,970 --> 00:39:32,550
-Why not go straight there?
-From Russia to West Germany?

411
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:37,220
They’re not allowed. Russians
can come here but can’t go there

412
00:39:37,310 --> 00:39:40,730
So how come she got there?

413
00:39:40,810 --> 00:39:44,940
Because she has Czech papers,
thanks to you

414
00:39:47,730 --> 00:39:52,530
She left her son here,
so she was allowed to go

415
00:39:52,950 --> 00:39:56,030
Why did she go, if he’s married?

416
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,120
That’s her problem, Mr Louka

417
00:39:59,250 --> 00:40:04,250
But the cops are bound to get
curious about you

418
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:09,010
I knew it was idiotic.
I felt it in my bones

419
00:40:09,090 --> 00:40:13,880
I’m sorry.
But you’ll be all right, you’ll see

420
00:40:13,970 --> 00:40:17,680
The boy will stay with the aunt

421
00:40:18,430 --> 00:40:20,850
When should I expect them?

422
00:40:20,930 --> 00:40:23,480
-Who?
-The cops

423
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,070
I’d say soon

424
00:41:17,620 --> 00:41:19,200
Frantisek Louka?

425
00:41:19,330 --> 00:41:20,330
Yes.

426
00:41:20,450 --> 00:41:23,000
You’re this lad’s father?

427
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,960
We’ve the old lady he was
staying with, in our ambulance

428
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,550
She’s had a stroke.
She says you’ll take over

429
00:41:33,340 --> 00:41:38,140
But I’m nobody.
I’m only his stepfather

430
00:41:38,220 --> 00:41:41,810
That’s your problem.
Sort it out among yourselves

431
00:41:41,890 --> 00:41:44,930
She says he’s to stay with you

432
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:01,870
Come on then

433
00:42:05,830 --> 00:42:10,000
Don’t just stand there.
Come on in

434
00:42:21,470 --> 00:42:24,770
Mr Broz, do you know
what’s happened?

435
00:42:24,890 --> 00:42:30,440
You knew? Then come
and fetch him at once

436
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,150
This wasn’t in the deal

437
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,860
We can’t solve this on the telephone

438
00:42:38,030 --> 00:42:40,780
Pop by tomorrow

439
00:42:41,780 --> 00:42:43,700
I can’t hear you

440
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:50,960
One night won’t kill you.
Give him a bath and put him to bed

441
00:43:11,100 --> 00:43:13,730
You have some slippers?

442
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,190
Something to wear indoors

443
00:43:20,860 --> 00:43:24,910
A fine conversation
this is going to be!

444
00:43:24,990 --> 00:43:27,700
This is all I needed

445
00:43:28,540 --> 00:43:30,960
Here they are

446
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,590
Slippers. Yours

447
00:43:36,090 --> 00:43:41,090
Take your shoes off
and put your slippers on

448
00:43:41,260 --> 00:43:49,310
Look, stop snivelling. I’m not
over the moon about this myself

449
00:43:49,390 --> 00:43:53,900
Stick it out for one night here and
then it’s off to the grave-digger’s

450
00:43:53,980 --> 00:43:57,780
He got us into this mess.
It’s up to him to get us out

451
00:43:58,240 --> 00:44:01,200
Look what’s here

452
00:44:02,110 --> 00:44:07,120
Some crayons and paper.
You can draw

453
00:44:07,580 --> 00:44:12,460
Why don’t you sit down
and draw something?

454
00:44:12,540 --> 00:44:15,290
Scribble, scribble!

455
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,590
Stare out of the window.
What do I care?

456
00:44:49,290 --> 00:44:53,210
As you’re so pig-headed,
take a good look

457
00:45:11,810 --> 00:45:13,390
Eat

458
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,190
At least drink your tea

459
00:45:23,700 --> 00:45:25,200
Tea

460
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,950
Russian tea,
what you lot drink non-stop

461
00:45:29,030 --> 00:45:31,160
I’ve put sugar in it

462
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,960
Don’t pretend you don’t understand

463
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,460
You must understand something

464
00:45:43,340 --> 00:45:45,880
We’re both of us Slavs

465
00:45:47,260 --> 00:45:50,640
I don’t speak Russian,
you don’t speak Czech. . .

466
00:45:50,720 --> 00:45:55,270
. . .but you must understand the word
‘tea’. We have it, you have it

467
00:45:56,190 --> 00:45:58,850
We use the same word

468
00:46:01,270 --> 00:46:03,190
There you are

469
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,320
That’s it

470
00:46:07,570 --> 00:46:12,030
Today there are 1 1 5,000
heavily-armed Soviet soldiers. ..

471
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,950
. . .in our country

472
00:46:20,210 --> 00:46:25,210
Stop snivelling and sleep.
One night won’t kill you

473
00:46:41,980 --> 00:46:44,190
Be like that then

474
00:47:18,100 --> 00:47:20,850
She was against the wedding

475
00:47:21,230 --> 00:47:22,350
Who was?

476
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,900
Marush, my wife

477
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:30,950
She kept saying
‘‘You’ll get him into trouble’’

478
00:47:31,030 --> 00:47:33,120
She was right there

479
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:39,120
I know. So I can’t ask her
to take in a fifth child

480
00:47:39,750 --> 00:47:44,290
Mr Louka, our place is
a madhouse these days

481
00:47:44,380 --> 00:47:46,920
Try to put up with him

482
00:47:47,010 --> 00:47:50,010
I’ll let you off 2,000

483
00:47:50,430 --> 00:47:52,680
Three, 4,000

484
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:57,060
Put yourself in my shoes.
What am I to do with him?

485
00:47:57,140 --> 00:48:00,430
Can’t that woman
with gold teeth take him in?

486
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,690
Pasha? She’s in Leningrad

487
00:48:03,900 --> 00:48:09,320
Look, his aunt will be out of
hospital in a fortnight

488
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,360
Keep the boy. It’s in your interest

489
00:48:12,450 --> 00:48:17,950
That’s why the aunt left him
with you - for your own sake

490
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:23,710
Looking after your wife’s child
makes your marriage look genuine

491
00:48:24,750 --> 00:48:26,920
In whose eyes?

492
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,710
The authorities’, when
they come to interrogate you

493
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,340
You’ve been questioned before?

494
00:48:33,430 --> 00:48:36,260
I was. Once

495
00:48:37,260 --> 00:48:42,180
The first cop was a softie.
The second was called Novotny

496
00:48:42,270 --> 00:48:45,020
He was sharp as a razor

497
00:48:45,100 --> 00:48:48,480
Mark my words, they’ll pounce

498
00:48:48,570 --> 00:48:52,440
And they’ll grind you down,
Mr Louka

499
00:49:25,190 --> 00:49:32,860
When my old mother
rocked my cradle.. .

500
00:49:36,910 --> 00:49:42,490
. . .she taught me to sing.. .

501
00:50:22,740 --> 00:50:26,540
Mr Louka,
you didn’t put up the flags

502
00:50:26,620 --> 00:50:29,500
You said you’d do it

503
00:50:29,580 --> 00:50:34,710
I’ve been too busy. I’m doing
concerts every day for the workers

504
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:39,640
You’re the only one who
didn’t do it. All the others did

505
00:50:39,720 --> 00:50:43,140
What a nice little boy.
Who are you?

506
00:50:43,220 --> 00:50:46,100
He’s my nephew

507
00:50:46,270 --> 00:50:47,980
What’s your name?

508
00:50:48,060 --> 00:50:50,310
He won’t talk, he’s terribly shy

509
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:56,690
I don’t care about the flags but
you’re drawing attention to yourself

510
00:51:01,530 --> 00:51:03,580
I’m a coward

511
00:51:04,990 --> 00:51:06,790
Last year.. .

512
00:51:07,330 --> 00:51:11,460
. . . I didn’t give a damn
and it was okay

513
00:51:11,540 --> 00:51:16,460
But we mustn’t upset them
now we’re in the shit

514
00:51:16,670 --> 00:51:19,550
Ours - yours

515
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,590
What was that?

516
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:23,970
Ours

517
00:51:24,140 --> 00:51:25,470
Yours

518
00:51:26,140 --> 00:51:30,270
So you can understand
when you want to

519
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:34,270
The thing is, we put up your flag
because we have to

520
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:37,900
Once we put it up in gratitude

521
00:51:38,110 --> 00:51:42,700
But that was before we realised
that you Russians are scoundrels

522
00:51:42,780 --> 00:51:48,120
You understand? No, you don’t.
You lot take up too much room

523
00:51:48,250 --> 00:51:51,830
Wherever you march, you stay

524
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:56,670
But not you,
you’ll go back to your aunt

525
00:51:56,750 --> 00:52:01,510
The moment she’s better, I’ll pack
Your chemodan and you’ll be off

526
00:52:06,310 --> 00:52:08,140
Chemodan

527
00:52:08,270 --> 00:52:13,770
That’s all the Russian I know
because they stole mine in Moscow

528
00:52:13,860 --> 00:52:17,770
You steal suitcases and territory

529
00:52:18,190 --> 00:52:20,740
Ours is beautiful

530
00:52:20,820 --> 00:52:26,120
What’s beautiful about it?
It’s just red like your underpants

531
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,290
-Ours is beautiful
-No, ours is

532
00:52:29,580 --> 00:52:32,540
Oh, you don’t know anything

533
00:52:32,620 --> 00:52:35,080
Look what I bought you

534
00:52:35,420 --> 00:52:37,710
A Russian egg

535
00:52:38,210 --> 00:52:40,210
Some Czech hens. . .

536
00:52:40,300 --> 00:52:44,050
. . .lay Russian eggs
without knowing it

537
00:52:48,100 --> 00:52:49,720
Grandma!

538
00:52:52,060 --> 00:52:55,190
Hello.
I’ve come for my lesson

539
00:52:56,810 --> 00:52:59,190
-It’s a bad day?
-Not at all

540
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,490
It’s just that I’ve a ‘visitor’

541
00:53:03,820 --> 00:53:06,910
He’s your little boy?

542
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,490
-A grandson?
-Of course not

543
00:53:09,580 --> 00:53:15,370
I’m babysitting for a colleague.
The boy is Russian

544
00:53:18,210 --> 00:53:19,840
Hello

545
00:53:21,050 --> 00:53:24,510
-What’s your name?
-Kolya

546
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,430
Shall I begin?

547
00:54:00,750 --> 00:54:04,670
We’ll put the light on
so you’re not scared

548
00:54:05,720 --> 00:54:08,550
And here’s a steamboat

549
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,300
Ours is beautiful

550
00:55:35,390 --> 00:55:38,890
So you did put
the flags up after all!

551
00:56:05,250 --> 00:56:08,380
Nurse, take the child out

552
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,470
Am I going to see Grandma?

553
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:18,100
She died yesterday.
At seven a.m.

554
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:21,810
You’re her. . . what?

555
00:56:22,190 --> 00:56:25,310
Nothing. Just an acquaintance

556
00:56:26,070 --> 00:56:29,030
There was nobody
to take her things

557
00:56:29,690 --> 00:56:33,450
Dressing gown,
teeth, spectacles, watch. ..

558
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:45,250
Where’s Grandma?

559
00:56:46,540 --> 00:56:49,550
Grandma is asleep

560
00:56:49,670 --> 00:56:52,470
We mustn’t wake her

561
00:57:11,570 --> 00:57:16,280
Write to the Welfare Office
and have him put into care

562
00:57:16,700 --> 00:57:20,160
Say you’re his stepfather.
His mother has left.. .

563
00:57:20,830 --> 00:57:23,870
. . .and you can’t look after him

564
00:57:25,330 --> 00:57:28,710
He can’t stay here

565
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:32,210
-Look what he’s drawn
-A coffin, isn’t it?

566
00:57:32,420 --> 00:57:35,630
It’s not a bad drawing

567
00:57:36,590 --> 00:57:39,850
Gentlemen, the dead won’t wait

568
00:58:26,190 --> 00:58:28,940
Are you his dad or his grandad?

569
00:58:29,860 --> 00:58:31,440
His grandad

570
00:58:31,610 --> 00:58:37,450
Fill in these forms
and send them to Comrade Zubata

571
00:58:38,030 --> 00:58:41,530
-And when do you think. . .?
-I can’t say

572
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:07,310
I don’t understand.
You say the boy is from Yugoslavia

573
00:59:08,140 --> 00:59:12,190
His parents let him
come to you just like that?

574
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,570
So he’d see the Czech countryside

575
00:59:17,860 --> 00:59:22,870
And why is he called Kolya?
Isn’t that a Russian name?

576
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:28,460
Kolya is the same as Nikolai
in Jugoslav

577
00:59:33,590 --> 00:59:36,840
Couldn’t he spend a few days here?

578
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:38,260
Who?

579
00:59:39,340 --> 00:59:41,470
He’s pale

580
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:45,470
He needs fresh air and
he’d be company for you

581
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:51,270
What’s the world coming to? Parents
leaving their kids just anywhere

582
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:58,570
People with a career in music
shouldn’t have children

583
00:59:58,820 --> 01:00:04,120
Like you. It should be
either music or a family

584
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:06,530
How long would it be for?

585
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,890
You see them? Always driving. . .

586
01:01:06,220 --> 01:01:08,760
.. .back and forth

587
01:01:13,730 --> 01:01:16,150
Our soldiers

588
01:01:16,270 --> 01:01:19,110
No, not yours. They’re Russian

589
01:01:19,190 --> 01:01:21,690
Look, the king

590
01:01:21,900 --> 01:01:25,110
Russians. Russian soldiers

591
01:01:26,620 --> 01:01:28,580
What’s he saying?

592
01:01:28,780 --> 01:01:34,910
I don’t know. Maybe they
remind him of Yugoslav soldiers

593
01:01:35,170 --> 01:01:38,000
Here, Kolya, it’s almost ready

594
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:13,160
You lied to me. He’s Russian

595
01:02:13,290 --> 01:02:15,500
Yes, I lied to you

596
01:02:15,910 --> 01:02:18,670
How could you do it?

597
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,920
Mother, not all Russians are alike

598
01:02:25,420 --> 01:02:27,550
We’re not at home

599
01:02:28,970 --> 01:02:32,260
But he saw me come in

600
01:02:34,350 --> 01:02:38,230
May we wash our hands?

601
01:02:38,350 --> 01:02:42,070
-You want to wash your hands?
-The water’s off

602
01:02:43,070 --> 01:02:45,280
Water cut off

603
01:02:45,570 --> 01:02:47,490
Water off?

604
01:02:47,570 --> 01:02:50,950
Burst pipe somewhere

605
01:02:51,830 --> 01:02:54,950
Never mind. Goodbye

606
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,040
It’s running

607
01:03:01,340 --> 01:03:04,090
The water’s not off

608
01:03:04,460 --> 01:03:07,760
I’m not having a Russian child here

609
01:03:08,340 --> 01:03:14,100
Come along, we’ll go and see
uncle Ruzicka. You’ll like it there

610
01:03:15,060 --> 01:03:20,270
Fancy lying to your own mother.
Vic would never do that

611
01:03:20,730 --> 01:03:25,820
First you show no interest in
children and then it’s a Russian!

612
01:04:00,190 --> 01:04:01,940
Come and look

613
01:04:05,860 --> 01:04:09,440
-What’s happening in Prague?
-Same as here

614
01:04:09,650 --> 01:04:14,820
There’s this soothsayer who predicts
it will all collapse this year

615
01:04:14,910 --> 01:04:17,580
They’ve said that for 40 years

616
01:04:17,660 --> 01:04:25,170
He’s had this vision.
There were Communists buying. . .

617
01:04:25,590 --> 01:04:28,050
. . .rods of gold

618
01:04:28,130 --> 01:04:32,680
They were rushing off
in great hordes to Russia

619
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:38,310
But Gorbachev took their rods. . .

620
01:04:39,140 --> 01:04:41,980
. ..and used them to flog
their backsides

621
01:04:42,060 --> 01:04:46,020
He said ‘‘Leave the gold here
and go back home’’

622
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:49,230
But nobody wanted them
any more

623
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:53,400
The young people and nurses
rebelled against them

624
01:04:53,490 --> 01:04:57,030
So they chased them out. . .

625
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:00,290
. . .and set up colonies for them
in Albania. . .

626
01:05:00,370 --> 01:05:03,290
. ..like Red Indian reservations

627
01:05:03,370 --> 01:05:05,880
What a vision!

628
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:08,750
Why did the nurses rebel?

629
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:10,710
I’ve no idea

630
01:05:24,850 --> 01:05:26,900
Our people?

631
01:05:28,020 --> 01:05:30,070
Yes, yours

632
01:05:31,530 --> 01:05:34,110
Going to Moscow?

633
01:05:36,740 --> 01:05:39,410
No, they’re here to stay

634
01:05:39,620 --> 01:05:43,080
They just go back and forth

635
01:05:43,330 --> 01:05:46,290
Do they live here?

636
01:05:47,170 --> 01:05:50,000
Unfortunately, they do

637
01:05:53,050 --> 01:05:55,880
Just like me

638
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:18,200
The shows’s off. We had
the Russian kids yesterday. . .

639
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:21,080
. . .but today there’s nobody

640
01:06:21,370 --> 01:06:24,660
The show’s off. Come along

641
01:06:31,710 --> 01:06:34,800
How big an audience do you need?

642
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:37,880
At least five.
But this is a Russian film

643
01:06:37,970 --> 01:06:41,260
‘Angelika’ is on tomorrow

644
01:06:41,890 --> 01:06:44,470
Give me five tickets

645
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:48,600
Mr Lansky, don’t go.
We’re doing a performance

646
01:06:50,190 --> 01:06:51,610
Hi, Franta

647
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:27,980
Where’s my grandma?

648
01:07:28,060 --> 01:07:30,190
She’s asleep

649
01:07:36,190 --> 01:07:39,900
Mr Louka, registered letter for you

650
01:07:40,410 --> 01:07:44,950
I signed so you wouldn’t have to go
to the post office

651
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:47,950
Just fancy!

652
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:52,460
Our building came second
in the decorationg competition

653
01:07:52,750 --> 01:07:56,840
But for that stupid fellow Pech,
we’d have been first

654
01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:02,090
It’s from the police.
Probably a parking ticket

655
01:08:03,430 --> 01:08:07,680
Now you’ll have
to go and see them, I suppose

656
01:08:33,170 --> 01:08:35,710
I’m Pokorny.
You’ll be Mr Louka

657
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:41,260
-How come. ..?
-I couldn’t leave him

658
01:08:41,340 --> 01:08:45,970
But during the interrogation. ..
Comrade, take care of this child

659
01:08:46,050 --> 01:08:49,390
He’ll bawl his head off

660
01:08:50,480 --> 01:08:54,230
This is most unusual

661
01:08:58,030 --> 01:09:02,860
-You’ve no kids?
-Yes, but I don’t take them to work

662
01:09:05,030 --> 01:09:08,080
Maybe I could ask Jitka. . .

663
01:09:34,230 --> 01:09:39,270
Jitka, look after this boy.
Use Kopecky’s office

664
01:09:44,740 --> 01:09:48,160
Go and play with auntie

665
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:52,290
He won’t go with strangers

666
01:09:52,580 --> 01:09:55,210
-How old is he?
-Five

667
01:09:55,500 --> 01:10:00,040
He only speaks Russian.
Can’t he stay?

668
01:10:00,250 --> 01:10:04,840
If you’ve some paper
and a pencil, he’ll draw

669
01:10:11,470 --> 01:10:14,020
Sit down, Mr Louka

670
01:10:15,940 --> 01:10:19,770
You wouldn’t have any crayons?
He prefers colours

671
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,900
So you decided to marry, Mr Louka?

672
01:10:24,070 --> 01:10:29,200
Well, well, how surprising.
A confirmed bachelor like you. ..

673
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:32,200
.. .suddenly, at fifty-five!

674
01:10:32,330 --> 01:10:37,210
Yes, a man can go off the rails
even at my age

675
01:10:37,790 --> 01:10:43,340
Well, she’s very young and pretty

676
01:10:43,550 --> 01:10:48,260
-Love works in strange ways.
-You know how it is

677
01:10:48,340 --> 01:10:51,390
Where did you meet?

678
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:55,060
-In a restaurant
-Which one?

679
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:58,560
It was the Malostranska café

680
01:10:59,900 --> 01:11:04,440
She was sitting alone
and there was no other table free

681
01:11:05,610 --> 01:11:08,490
-We got talking
-You speak Russian?

682
01:11:08,950 --> 01:11:12,740
Only a few words.
From school

683
01:11:14,450 --> 01:11:16,790
-Your cigarette. . .
-Want one?

684
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:21,040
-No. It fell out
-That’s always happening

685
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:24,340
Very nice

686
01:11:24,420 --> 01:11:28,010
He draws well. That violin. . .

687
01:11:28,090 --> 01:11:30,260
Cello. It has a spike

688
01:11:30,340 --> 01:11:34,180
You’re right.
A violinist might stab himself

689
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,640
My kid doesn’t draw as well

690
01:11:37,890 --> 01:11:40,520
-What’s his name?
-Radek, after my wife

691
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,940
-She has a man’s name?
-No, it’s Radka really

692
01:11:47,650 --> 01:11:49,490
How’s it going?

693
01:11:49,570 --> 01:11:52,320
Captain Novotny, Mr Louka

694
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:06,670
My dear man, you seem to have
a bad influence on your family

695
01:12:08,670 --> 01:12:13,640
Your brother emigrates,
your wife emigrates.. .

696
01:12:15,470 --> 01:12:19,730
You didn’t live together
very long, did you?

697
01:12:20,440 --> 01:12:23,400
Nobody saw her at your place

698
01:12:24,270 --> 01:12:27,190
We lived together for a few days. . .

699
01:12:27,440 --> 01:12:31,610
. . .but she only spoke Russian
and me Czech

700
01:12:32,990 --> 01:12:37,580
Surely you were aware of that
before the wedding?

701
01:12:38,500 --> 01:12:43,540
Of course. But there were
other problems as well

702
01:12:44,540 --> 01:12:50,260
She kept opening the windows.
She was so used to Siberian winters

703
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:57,260
So we decided we’d live apart

704
01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:01,980
Okay, you’ve had your fun

705
01:13:02,190 --> 01:13:06,810
Now spit it out. How much
were you paid, you jerk?

706
01:13:06,900 --> 01:13:09,570
Isn’t that a bit familiar?

707
01:13:09,730 --> 01:13:12,740
I’ll be as familiar as I like

708
01:13:12,990 --> 01:13:18,280
I call a jailbird anything I choose
And that’s what you’ll be

709
01:13:18,410 --> 01:13:20,740
I asked you a question

710
01:13:20,830 --> 01:13:24,160
-Comrade, take this child
-We tried

711
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,590
How did you buy a car?

712
01:13:31,670 --> 01:13:35,220
I saved up and borrowed the rest

713
01:13:35,300 --> 01:13:37,220
From whom?

714
01:13:38,010 --> 01:13:41,720
My colleague Parizek and Mr Broz

715
01:13:43,020 --> 01:13:46,400
Did Nadezda Bilyukovova tell you
she planned to emigrate?

716
01:13:46,480 --> 01:13:48,360
That caught me out

717
01:13:48,900 --> 01:13:52,570
And her son,
that caught you out too?

718
01:13:52,690 --> 01:13:54,110
Absolutely

719
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:57,110
What will you do with him?

720
01:13:58,070 --> 01:14:04,160
I don’t know. Maybe I’ll keep him
now he’s mine in law

721
01:14:04,710 --> 01:14:07,580
Look here, my dear man

722
01:14:08,630 --> 01:14:12,050
This marriage was a put-up job

723
01:14:12,670 --> 01:14:16,970
Tell your fairy tale about
falling in love to someone else

724
01:14:17,050 --> 01:14:22,770
And don’t think you’ll be playing
with the Philharmonic much longer

725
01:14:23,020 --> 01:14:27,520
You’ll be lucky to fiddle at
funerals. We’ll make sure of that

726
01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:30,480
HE DOES FUNERALS ALREADY !

727
01:14:30,730 --> 01:14:33,980
Why not try to save your skin?

728
01:14:34,070 --> 01:14:37,320
Tell us who
arranged the wedding

729
01:14:37,410 --> 01:14:40,240
and how much you’ve got for it

730
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:45,040
This won’t be the last time we meet.

731
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:47,920
Go back home,
and have a good think

732
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:53,460
Then maybe you’ll come back
and see us before we send for you

733
01:14:56,130 --> 01:14:57,800
Well, that’s it

734
01:14:58,300 --> 01:15:00,390
That’s it. . .

735
01:15:00,930 --> 01:15:02,640
. ..my dear man

736
01:15:02,850 --> 01:15:06,890
Two or three more interrogations
and you’ll be speaking Czech

737
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,640
-If it isn’t Marketa!
-Mischa

738
01:15:46,770 --> 01:15:48,520
Of course

739
01:15:57,400 --> 01:16:04,160
-And what are you doing?
-I play in a sort of ensemble

740
01:16:20,010 --> 01:16:21,590
Jesus, the boy!

741
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:22,970
Excuse me

742
01:16:57,210 --> 01:17:02,550
A small boy is lost on Line B.
His name is.. .

743
01:17:03,510 --> 01:17:08,640
Kolya. He should be taken to
the guard at any station

744
01:17:08,930 --> 01:17:13,770
Kolya, don’t worry and don’t run off

745
01:17:15,020 --> 01:17:19,610
Stay in the metro
and we’ll find you

746
01:17:20,940 --> 01:17:22,990
End of message

747
01:19:07,050 --> 01:19:08,800
Kolya!

748
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:22,860
What a fright you gave me

749
01:19:26,070 --> 01:19:28,900
She was wailing down the telephone

750
01:19:29,490 --> 01:19:33,700
-What she said?
-’’Kolya, my darling baby’’

751
01:19:34,290 --> 01:19:39,870
When I said her aunt was dead, she
wanted to get on a train right away

752
01:19:40,290 --> 01:19:43,040
But I talked the idiot out of it

753
01:19:43,130 --> 01:19:47,460
I told her they’d send her
straight to Siberia

754
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:52,260
-And the Red Cross?
-She’s applied for the boy

755
01:19:52,430 --> 01:19:57,140
And there are international
agreements on mothers and kids

756
01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:00,230
She sends you her greetings

757
01:20:00,310 --> 01:20:02,270
Charming of her

758
01:20:19,790 --> 01:20:21,750
Hello, Grandma

759
01:20:23,250 --> 01:20:25,710
It’s me, Kolya

760
01:20:35,970 --> 01:20:40,640
We went to see you
but you were asleep

761
01:20:41,310 --> 01:20:44,900
Please come back, Grandma

762
01:20:54,820 --> 01:20:58,160
Come on out.

763
01:21:00,830 --> 01:21:02,910
Come along

764
01:21:06,420 --> 01:21:09,250
Zuzi? It’s Louka

765
01:21:09,510 --> 01:21:14,260
I suddenly felt so lonely
and guess who I. ..?

766
01:21:15,430 --> 01:21:19,260
Can you speak?
He’s in the country?

767
01:21:20,060 --> 01:21:22,140
Lucky you

768
01:21:22,270 --> 01:21:26,860
Oh, in the lavatory!
He takes his time, doesn’t he?

769
01:21:26,980 --> 01:21:30,820
Listen, I’m looking after
a Russian kid

770
01:21:30,900 --> 01:21:36,490
Russian. Belongs to a violinist from
Leningrad. He can’t get to sleep

771
01:21:36,870 --> 01:21:42,290
You teach Russian.
Could you read him a story?

772
01:21:43,660 --> 01:21:46,210
Anything. He’s five

773
01:21:46,500 --> 01:21:49,500
Go and find something. I’ll wait

774
01:21:50,340 --> 01:21:53,010
She’s a teacher

775
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:56,760
A fairy tale

776
01:21:58,970 --> 01:22:03,140
‘The Eagle and the Lamb’.
Fantastic! I’ll pass you over

777
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:11,190
Yes, Kolya Bilyukov

778
01:22:11,530 --> 01:22:14,530
No, I’m not scared of eagles

779
01:22:15,150 --> 01:22:19,570
High on a Caucasian mountain peak
lived an eagle

780
01:22:20,620 --> 01:22:26,210
One day he flew so high
he reached a star

781
01:22:27,290 --> 01:22:30,590
On that star,
there was a little house

782
01:22:31,050 --> 01:22:35,420
In the house, lived an old sheep
and her lamb

783
01:22:36,130 --> 01:22:40,050
‘‘I’ve come to visit you’’
said the eagle

784
01:22:40,810 --> 01:22:44,600
‘‘I’ve come to see how you live’’

785
01:22:48,190 --> 01:22:50,690
Lovely

786
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,070
Thanks, Zuzi

787
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:05,620
You left them here?

788
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:08,210
Black lace ones?

789
01:23:08,500 --> 01:23:11,290
And you went home without them!

790
01:23:11,420 --> 01:23:15,010
No, I’d have found them

791
01:23:16,170 --> 01:23:21,550
I’d like to see you too, Zuzi,
but I can’t right now. I’ll call you

792
01:23:22,050 --> 01:23:23,600
Bye.

793
01:24:00,220 --> 01:24:01,760
Hello

794
01:24:04,140 --> 01:24:06,390
What’s your name?

795
01:24:07,770 --> 01:24:10,190
My name’s Kolya

796
01:24:12,190 --> 01:24:14,610
Do you want some bread?

797
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:17,480
Go away

798
01:24:17,820 --> 01:24:20,610
Stop feeding the pigeons

799
01:24:25,950 --> 01:24:27,830
And shut the window

800
01:25:15,750 --> 01:25:20,380
Through pastures green. ..

801
01:25:21,050 --> 01:25:24,340
.. .He leadeth me. . .

802
01:25:24,430 --> 01:25:28,720
.. .the quiet waters by

803
01:26:00,130 --> 01:26:03,760
What are you playing?

804
01:26:04,090 --> 01:26:06,550
I’m doing your job

805
01:26:18,310 --> 01:26:19,650
That’s enough

806
01:27:01,110 --> 01:27:03,610
We’re up as high as the birds

807
01:27:03,690 --> 01:27:05,740
As high as the birds

808
01:27:28,970 --> 01:27:31,300
His mummy isn’t at home?

809
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:34,810
She’s abroad at the moment

810
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:39,810
He must have antibiotics

811
01:27:40,310 --> 01:27:44,190
Every four hours.
Set your alarm clock

812
01:27:44,780 --> 01:27:48,280
With a quarter aspirin.
You have some?

813
01:27:49,070 --> 01:27:50,490
Yes

814
01:27:52,370 --> 01:27:55,660
There’s a danger of meningitis

815
01:27:55,830 --> 01:28:00,620
If the fever continues, apply
cold compresses. You can do that?

816
01:28:00,830 --> 01:28:03,000
Yes, of course

817
01:28:03,590 --> 01:28:07,260
-Will your wife be away long?
-Possibly

818
01:28:08,010 --> 01:28:11,890
You’ll need a note for your employer

819
01:28:12,010 --> 01:28:13,600
I guess.

820
01:29:19,660 --> 01:29:22,080
It will feel a bit cold

821
01:29:22,710 --> 01:29:26,290
Hold on, it’s going to be all right

822
01:29:29,550 --> 01:29:31,590
You’ll be all right now

823
01:29:31,670 --> 01:29:36,430
Klara, I’m sorry about
calling you out so late

824
01:29:36,550 --> 01:29:37,800
That’s okay

825
01:29:37,890 --> 01:29:41,930
No, really, I mean it.
Good night now

826
01:29:42,180 --> 01:29:46,440
No need to say good night.
I’m staying till the morning

827
01:29:46,810 --> 01:29:49,480
And what will you say at home?

828
01:29:50,030 --> 01:29:54,610
That an old flame of mine
had a child

829
01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:57,820
And he couldn’t cope

830
01:30:05,080 --> 01:30:09,380
A magpie or a jay.
They steal shiny things

831
01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:17,090
You’re right.
Nobody thought of that

832
01:30:18,510 --> 01:30:22,890
It’s still beautiful,
even if it has no value

833
01:30:26,150 --> 01:30:29,480
When I said
we couldn’t have children.. .

834
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:35,820
. . . I didn’t mean that I can’t.
You must have misunderstood

835
01:30:40,280 --> 01:30:43,910
When is he supposed to take
his next pill?

836
01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:47,370
At five. I set the alarm

837
01:30:52,090 --> 01:30:55,260
You’re less selfish than I thought

838
01:30:55,340 --> 01:30:59,550
I never imagined you’d worry like
this about someone else’s child

839
01:31:01,930 --> 01:31:05,520
Neither did I

840
01:31:10,860 --> 01:31:15,610
Weren’t you afraid to make
that fake marriage?

841
01:31:16,820 --> 01:31:19,530
You a dissident, of all people

842
01:31:19,620 --> 01:31:22,370
I am not a dissident

843
01:31:23,450 --> 01:31:27,290
I’ve just been punished
for my own stupidity

844
01:31:27,580 --> 01:31:31,420
They used to let me go to the West

845
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:36,170
One time, the Party officer said. . .

846
01:31:36,260 --> 01:31:40,260
‘‘Your brother has emigrated
but we trust you’’

847
01:31:40,800 --> 01:31:45,560
When I returned,
I had to fill in the usual forms

848
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:51,270
One of the questions was ‘‘Did you
meet an emigré?’’ I wrote yes

849
01:31:51,860 --> 01:31:56,320
Then it said ‘‘State in detail
what you discussed’’

850
01:31:56,400 --> 01:32:00,320
I wrote ‘‘The usual shit,
Comrade Blaha’’

851
01:32:00,910 --> 01:32:02,660
Is that all?

852
01:32:02,740 --> 01:32:05,660
I guess he felt hurt

853
01:32:05,740 --> 01:32:09,290
And I thought you’d done
something heroic!

854
01:32:09,370 --> 01:32:12,630
Bit of a let-down, isn’t it?

855
01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:18,550
But you did it so nicely

856
01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:32,440
I want you to have this

857
01:32:51,540 --> 01:32:55,630
Lovely.
And you’ve stopped drawing coffins

858
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:59,300
Story by telephone

859
01:33:03,720 --> 01:33:06,180
You’d like a story?

860
01:33:06,260 --> 01:33:10,680
Good. Let’s call the teacher auntie

861
01:33:11,230 --> 01:33:20,360
Could I have the one about
the eagle? I liked that one

862
01:33:25,870 --> 01:33:29,790
It was the uncle.
He’s no good at stories

863
01:33:31,460 --> 01:33:34,830
We’ll have to manage alone

864
01:33:39,590 --> 01:33:43,760
Once upon a time, there was
a grandpa and a grandma

865
01:33:44,300 --> 01:33:47,180
A grandpa and a grandma

866
01:33:48,010 --> 01:33:53,100
They had a grandson
who was called Budulinek

867
01:33:55,480 --> 01:33:59,230
One day Grandma said
‘‘Budulinek, my dear

868
01:33:59,440 --> 01:34:05,070
‘‘We’re going to the woods.
You will be here on your own

869
01:34:05,860 --> 01:34:10,160
‘‘Don’t open the door to
anyone at all’’

870
01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:13,410
Don’t open the door

871
01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:17,710
That’s it. And so they left

872
01:35:24,940 --> 01:35:27,070
We had otters once

873
01:35:27,150 --> 01:35:29,360
What’s otters?

874
01:35:29,660 --> 01:35:32,410
You keep asking ‘‘What’s that?’’

875
01:35:32,490 --> 01:35:36,700
It’s an animal about this big
with whiskers like me

876
01:35:38,120 --> 01:35:41,210
It eats trout

877
01:35:41,670 --> 01:35:43,630
What’s trout?

878
01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:45,300
A fish

879
01:35:45,510 --> 01:35:47,510
Fish!

880
01:35:48,010 --> 01:35:51,800
But because the water is
poisoned now by acid rain.. .

881
01:35:51,890 --> 01:35:54,930
- you won’t understand
and nor do I -

882
01:35:55,270 --> 01:35:57,850
. . .the fish died

883
01:35:57,980 --> 01:36:00,020
Fish kaput?

884
01:36:00,650 --> 01:36:03,980
So the otters died too

885
01:36:04,780 --> 01:36:06,940
The otters are kaput too?

886
01:36:07,030 --> 01:36:10,740
So now you have a River Otter. ..

887
01:36:11,070 --> 01:36:14,120
. . .with no otters in it

888
01:36:18,290 --> 01:36:20,370
Oh, my God!

889
01:36:28,420 --> 01:36:32,340
Some East German bloke
is celebrating his birthday

890
01:36:34,050 --> 01:36:36,470
What’s a birthday?

891
01:36:36,680 --> 01:36:39,890
That’s the day he was born

892
01:36:40,440 --> 01:36:44,690
And when am I going to have
a birthday?

893
01:36:44,770 --> 01:36:47,270
When were you born?

894
01:36:48,650 --> 01:36:51,490
You’re five but when were you born?

895
01:36:51,570 --> 01:36:53,360
I don’t know

896
01:36:53,450 --> 01:36:58,410
Then it’s a bit difficult,
isn’t it?

897
01:37:10,130 --> 01:37:11,970
‘Night, Dad

898
01:37:14,010 --> 01:37:15,930
‘Night

899
01:37:31,190 --> 01:37:34,700
Happy birthday.. .

900
01:37:39,330 --> 01:37:44,250
The main thing is
you’re healthy and happy

901
01:37:50,260 --> 01:37:52,550
What’s in it?

902
01:38:04,390 --> 01:38:07,650
Fantastic!

903
01:38:07,770 --> 01:38:10,520
Why must you live at the top?

904
01:38:10,610 --> 01:38:13,530
I’m from the Department of
Social Security

905
01:38:13,610 --> 01:38:20,450
You sent us an application regarding
this boy some time back

906
01:38:21,040 --> 01:38:24,370
We’ve only just got round to it

907
01:38:24,830 --> 01:38:29,040
In the meantime,
we’ve sorted things out

908
01:38:29,130 --> 01:38:32,710
You play at night, don’t you?

909
01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:35,840
No, only during the day now

910
01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:39,850
-Where does the boy sleep?
-Over there

911
01:38:45,100 --> 01:38:47,560
He doesn’t have his own bed?

912
01:38:47,650 --> 01:38:50,940
No, but there’s enough room. . .

913
01:38:54,860 --> 01:38:57,070
So it’s the boy’s birthday?

914
01:38:57,410 --> 01:39:02,370
Not really. But I don’t have
his papers

915
01:39:04,830 --> 01:39:10,250
I wrote that application
when I wasn’t coping very well

916
01:39:10,340 --> 01:39:12,380
The boy is Russian?

917
01:39:14,460 --> 01:39:16,300
Not now, my dear

918
01:39:16,380 --> 01:39:19,010
He understands Czech now

919
01:39:19,090 --> 01:39:24,520
His mother went to the West
and shows no interest in the boy

920
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:28,640
That’s untrue.
She applied to the Red Cross

921
01:39:28,980 --> 01:39:31,900
-Look, Mr Mouka
-Louka

922
01:39:33,480 --> 01:39:38,900
Czech nationality by marriage. . .

923
01:39:39,070 --> 01:39:42,240
.. .she is still a Russian

924
01:39:42,370 --> 01:39:46,290
So the Russian authorities still
have an interest in this child

925
01:39:46,370 --> 01:39:50,460
The matter may well be
taken out of our hands

926
01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:55,960
They’ll probably put him in a home

927
01:39:56,460 --> 01:39:58,920
That’s my opinion

928
01:39:59,180 --> 01:40:05,640
Miss Zubata, that letter of mine. ..
couldn’t it be declared void?

929
01:40:05,720 --> 01:40:10,230
Why? They’ll take care of the boy

930
01:40:10,560 --> 01:40:13,110
I’ll be back, Mr Mouka

931
01:40:16,990 --> 01:40:21,820
Next time, I’ll bring someone
from the Russian embassy.. .

932
01:40:22,870 --> 01:40:25,990
. ..and they can take over

933
01:40:26,580 --> 01:40:28,620
A nice little boy

934
01:40:29,540 --> 01:40:31,620
Goodbye for now

935
01:40:51,480 --> 01:40:52,690
Chemodan?

936
01:40:52,770 --> 01:40:57,270
Yes, before Miss Zubata
comes to get us

937
01:41:19,970 --> 01:41:22,630
Franta! What’up?

938
01:41:22,840 --> 01:41:25,340
Can you put us up?

939
01:41:25,430 --> 01:41:27,510
But of course

940
01:41:28,260 --> 01:41:31,230
These springs are a bit ropey. . .

941
01:41:31,310 --> 01:41:35,600
. . .but, held down by this blanket,
they should be all right

942
01:41:36,110 --> 01:41:41,190
This is Uncle Houdek
but you’ll say Goudek, I suppose

943
01:41:44,570 --> 01:41:50,830
A great power, yet they
can’t say the letter H!

944
01:41:54,920 --> 01:42:00,920
I’ll enjoy hiding you. It’ll be
my way of joining the resistance

945
01:42:01,630 --> 01:42:05,510
-Will your conductor take me on?
-Definitely.

946
01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:11,220
Though he’ll wonder why you
want to play on a bandstand

947
01:42:11,310 --> 01:42:15,690
We’ll tell him. . .
I know, I’ve a great idea

948
01:42:15,770 --> 01:42:19,520
You’re convalescing
after a gall-bladder operation

949
01:42:19,610 --> 01:42:22,860
We’ll have you drinking the waters

950
01:42:25,110 --> 01:42:27,820
Illegal activity. Great!

951
01:42:54,180 --> 01:42:57,810
The police blocked
the central streets. ..

952
01:42:57,900 --> 01:43:00,860
. . .so there was no escape

953
01:43:02,280 --> 01:43:05,860
Students, when faced
with the riot police.. .

954
01:43:05,950 --> 01:43:12,240
. . .sang the national anthemn.
They were savagely attacked. . .

955
01:43:12,370 --> 01:43:17,000
Franta, I think the whole thing
has collapsed

956
01:43:17,790 --> 01:43:19,370
Just because. ..

957
01:43:19,460 --> 01:43:21,210
Shut up!

958
01:43:21,290 --> 01:43:29,590
Prague’s university students call
on everyone to demonstrate

959
01:43:30,390 --> 01:43:35,350
It’s a pity we joined the resistance
so late. It’s boiled over!

960
01:43:35,430 --> 01:43:39,520
We should be there, Franta.
It’s come at last

961
01:43:52,450 --> 01:43:58,660
At last. At last!

962
01:44:24,190 --> 01:44:27,650
Nobody wanted them any more

963
01:44:27,990 --> 01:44:31,610
The young people
and the nurses rebelled

964
01:44:31,700 --> 01:44:34,200
They chased them out. . .

965
01:44:34,280 --> 01:44:37,290
. . .and set up a reservation
for them in Albania

966
01:44:37,370 --> 01:44:39,790
What a vision!

967
01:45:15,870 --> 01:45:18,160
There’s your mummy

968
01:45:23,920 --> 01:45:25,830
Come along

969
01:45:49,360 --> 01:45:53,530
I can’t thank you enough

970
01:46:20,520 --> 01:46:22,520
Goodbye, Dad

971
01:46:22,600 --> 01:46:24,270
Goodbye

972
01:46:24,810 --> 01:46:28,980
When will you come and see us?

973
01:46:54,670 --> 01:46:57,130
Goodbye
