Original subtitles

You're listening to the afternoon show on Europe 2 with Zorka and Tom'as,

and Tom'as has a very interesting topic for us again.

Let's go back to the horoscope because we have some vital information for Pisces.

- Pisces! - You're Pisces, Zorka, right?

I'm Cancer, Tom'as.

So, Pisces, fun's over, you're having a really bad day today,

everything's wrong, a black spot.

No major changes, stay home, crawl into your bed

and don't worry about anything. Pisces today...

Does it have an elevator?

No.

Can't you read the text later?

- They picked someone else for the part. - I see.

...PHOTOSHOOT, CASTING FAIRY TALE...

Lucie...

There'll be more castings, you'll see.

I'll pick up Kiki in school so that you can work on this mess.

Thank you, Mom. I couldn't have done it without you.

Bye.

Kiki, have you packed your toys?

Yeah.

Dad's gonna be here in a minute.

Oh, he's here.

Yes?

Coming!

- Hi! - Hi.

Does she have her pajamas?

Why wouldn't she have her pajamas?

Hi.

- Hi there. - Let's go.

Shall we get some candy?

For sure.

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO A FRESH START

SAVINGS ACCOUNT OF 5.4%

Sorry...

- So sorry... - Hi.

I had two shows.

It takes time to change out of that dog costume.

- Yeah. - No, thanks for taking me out.

- Good evening. - Good evening. Okay.

Doggie!

Ali, look.

I think we're exactly the target group.

EVERYDAY LOSERS

No, no, no...

The after party...

is ours.

Yeah.

We're young,

single.

You are. I'm broken up and have a kid.

It's the same thing.

It's not.

- May I ask... - Excuse me.

Move away, please. Yes, yes, look at me!

And now to the right, yes, thank you.

Lucie.

I have to go to the bathroom.

I think I got my period.

The afterparty's ours!

After you.

Hi, Lucie.

- Hi, Irin. - Wow, you still look like you're 18.

Thank you. I think the darkness is helping me a lot.

Come, I want to introduce you to someone.

Karel Makovec, screenwriter

Excuse me.

Lucie M'ajov'a.

Actress.

Nice to meet you, Karel.

Karel,

write something for Lucie in our show.

Irin, what are you saying?

Listen, Lucie's really great,

she's played big roles in Ostrava and...

- she needs a little help now. - Irin, hi.

Hi.

She's alone with a daughter, so...

How many hours a day do you write?

Eight.

And you can concentrate that long?

Yes.

You have to do that too, don't you? In the theater.

Yeah.

Of course.

Karel!

- Hi, what are you doing here? - Hi.

- You go to parties, huh? - Well, I have to.

Do you still go jogging? I have to join you sometimes.

- I've been looking for you! - Where have you been?

- You've already had wine without me, huh? - Third one.

I met Irin.

He offered me a part

and said I looked like 18.

I want a part, too.

Relax.

Promising a moon, you know it.

I still look like...

eighteen too.

Now it's your turn.

Okay.

- There you go. - Thanks.

How did you like the movie?

It reminded me a lot of myself.

- The theme was close to my heart. - No.

Are you a loser?

Such a beautiful woman?

We're all little losers, dear sir.

Especially when one is alone.

I disagree.

There's nothing wrong with being alone,

one can focus on oneself or one's goals.

I never thought of it that way.

- Yeah. - No!

Yeah.

That's not possible.

Thank you for a lovely evening.

Do you want to come home with me?

Sorry, but I don't sleep with men I don't know on a first-name basis.

Jakub.

So, dear Jakub.

I don't even sleep with men I only know for one night.

I see.

Goodbye.

How can I find you?

You must make some effort.

I should have given him my phone number.

So only that weird screenwriter wants to be friends with me.

He poked me?

What's that?

Well, it's your turn now.

...DUBBING, COMMERCIAL

Number 37.

EVERY DAY IS BETTER, PRINCE - TAKE ONE

And action!

Oh, prince, prince,

- I'm all yours! - Stop!

Princess Ela is the young one!

- Yes. - You didn't have to learn that.

I see.

CASTING FAIRY TALE...

I'm shop assistant Mischa, I'm shop assistant Mischa,

I'm an actress, I'm...

Don't touch the microphone, it's ear-splitting!

- Sorry, sorry. - You don't mind the Moravian accent?

No.

Miss, more of a Prague accent!

- Shop assistant! - I see.

Sorry.

DUBBING...

I'm Lucie M'ajov'a, actress, and I've come to the casting...

Yes, madam, all the ladies here have.

- Another one? - It's gonna be a long one.

- I didn't even have to come here. - I don't know her.

- I'm all chewed up. - Jesus.

I don't even have time to shoot it anyway.

I'll go home.

The director is great.

- Did you sleep with him? - Mhm. You too?

Of course.

- It's endless. - Hi.

Hi!

I wouldn't expect to see you here.

Hi, I'm an actress, my name is Lucie Majov'a,

I was nominated for the Thalia award,

I play in the theater... I played

- Juliet... - Great, great, great.

Now swing over here on this mat,

next to your colleague, okay?

...and fake an orgasm.

- What's that? - Orgasm.

It's a condom commercial.

Sure.

- Hi. - Hi.

And... action!

Stop! Fine, look, not the foreplay but the finale.

Okay? I need those few proper seconds.

And...

action!

Okay, thanks, we'll get back to you.

COMMERCIAL

Hmm, tasty.

- Hi, where are you? - Where am I?

I've been on the road for five hours,

and it's all because of you and your magic soup.

You might want to move out of Ostrava now.

Pretty little nest.

Small, but mine.

What about the casting?

Which one do you mean? They say I'm too old to be a princess,

and I moan badly when I pretend orgasm. Yeah?

Looks like I'm about to work at the cash register with my mom.

Reboot after maternity leave is hell.

Wouldn't want that again.

It's nice to hear such optimistic talk.

Cheers, girls!

Cheers!

To today!

Look into my eyes!

Dear witches,

the rules of the magic soup are quite simple.

Your job is to

put together a wish,

and then each of you will cook your wish,

I'll pour soup over it, a chicken broth,

you eat it and the wish comes what?

It comes true.

- Awesome. - E...

I'm telling you, there's gonna be a shortage of E's.

How many wishes can there be?

As many as you want, we have a pound of letters.

We're gonna talk about men anyways.

- Maybe not. - Oh, please.

Although, girls...

How many have you had?

I've had Ruda, Marcel...

I've had hundreds.

Denisa, we know that, you're way out of your category,

no one's competing with you.

Wait, does only intercourse count or even...

No, no, no, Alenka,

just intercourse, aka coitus, okay?

Okay, wait. I've had...

love or no love...

twelve. Understand?

All right, well...

Twenty-four pieces in my case.

It sounds like you're announcing next year's state budget.

My number is sixty-seven.

Alenka, why so many?

I thought they'd love me for it.

You thought that 67 times?

Well...

Yeah.

Girls, I want my own category, too.

You have your own category.

Retired slut.

Cheers!

Hi!

See ya.

Thanks...

- for coming. - Hope it works out for us.

Good night.

Jakub is lost in the matrix.

What are you looking at?

The staging was exceptionally good.

It was really good. You were great.

See you.

Is it okay that it's Wednesday?

- Sure. - Okay.

Tom'as?

Who's that country girl on the computer?

Tom'as...?

Asshole.

Hello, thank you. As for the role of sales assistant Mischa,

the second call,

you're not invited.

That was pretty clear.

I must have been moaning the wrong way.

No, that was the radio play.

Yeah, sales assistant, right.

Wait...

Am I talking to myself?

Yes.

You've known me since childhood.

- Right. - Right.

When you were little, you thought I was magical.

Yeah?

I'm you.

Your inner voice.

But you weren't really listening to me with Tom'as.

Like... Friday?

Excuse me?

I'm crazy.

You're not.

You're just listening to your inner voice after a while.

No, no, no.

I'm not listening!

You're listening because you're totally screwed.

That's obviously what I am.

Come on, don't worry.

It has a solution.

What can no one take away from you in life?

They can take everything from me, especially Kiki.

Wait, wait. Think.

I don't know.

Hope.

- Hope. - Mhm.

The future.

The future?

Come on, that's not too little.

That should be the solution?

How about:

you're gonna get a movie, a big TV show,

A Thalia award.

I mean, I'm post-maternity,

I don't have a job,

I don't have money I don't even have a man.

I'm completely down.

But you're young, you're healthy, you're beautiful.

You've been in so much trouble in your life,

you can handle this easy peasy.

Look,

can you feel your wings growing?

Hmm?

You don't.

- Hey. - Hi.

- Can I come in? - If you're alone, yeah.

'Cause your bimbo won't cross my threshold.

- Hello, Kiki! - Hi!

How have you been?

- Good. - Can you save your hysterical outbursts?

- Bye, Dad. - Bye!

Take off your jacket.

MEET JAKUB AGAIN

Who's Jakub?

None of your business.

Do you know how we're gonna do Christmas?

No. Haven't thought about that yet.

I just don't want Kiki to have to move.

Two dinners, two trees.

Sure, that's...

really nonsense.

Hello?

What? So...

let's be together.

- Really? - Yeah.

Well, then we could be here.

Sure.

What about Nikol?

Don't worry about it.

- I'll take care of that. - Really?

Anyway,

I have to go. Bye.

Bye.

You're playing beach volleyball with the girls. Seductive, natural, sexy.

Then you pass out, a handsome guy wakes you up,

and you take a sip of water.

Okay?

And where's the guy?

You're just imagining him.

Yeah, right.

And... action!

Now pass out.

Now finish it with the water.

Yeah.

Oh, my God!

Why am I doing this to myself?

And now I want to go to the movies to see Monsters, Inc.

Please!

Kiki, why don't we go to the playground?

Mommy...

Lucie, is that you?

I didn't even have to wait that long.

Hello, Jakub.

Hello, what a coincidence.

- Am I holding you up? - No.

Look, it's Mommy in a bathing suit with cubes.

That's beautiful.

You didn't say you had a daughter.

You didn't ask.

Kiki.

Hi, I'm Jakub.

Hi, and did you know my mommy has my daddy, he's big and has a gun?

I didn't know that.

We are separated.

- And what about... - And what about you...

- ...how... - I need to poop!

Kiki!

- You just went a minute ago! - I need to go again!

- I'm so sorry. - Not at all. I have to go too.

- Sorry? - Leave, I mean.

How about a trip?

Sure.

Can you make time for me?

Deal.

Looking forward.

See you later.

I don't need to go anymore, Mommy.

Kiki, you can't be serious.

You were making it up!

I didn't like that man.

He looked like Squidward from SpongeBob.

That's not true!

Scene number five.

We're rolling in 5 mins.

Let's get ready, okay?

Kiki, come here.

- We'll go now, okay? - No, Mommy.

- Lucie! - Yeah, yeah, we're leaving.

Lucie, hi!

What are you doing here? Walking by?

Hi, Magda!

Lucie.

- Hi. - Hi!

So when are you joining us?

I'd like to know that, too.

I want you in this.

Irin, you think I don't?

Are you in touch with Karel?

Yeah.

I guess.

Lucie, I gave you a great ladder.

Well, we don't talk much yet.

We just...

poke each other.

Wow!

But...

I didn't think Karel's much into poke--

into women.

Irin, no, no.

We've virtually poked each other on Facebook

a few times with that little finger, you see?

- Come. - Coming.

- I'm sorry, I have to go. - Sure.

Please, no finger-poking, okay?

Arrange the role with him, okay?

- Yeah. - I really want you here.

- Bye. - Bye!

Mommy!

Let's go, Kiki, let's go, let's go.

I'm such a...

such an idiot.

But I have to play volleyball with an imaginary boy, right?

Okay.

This is a special poke.

Shit.

How long have I not been in touch?

Hello, dear Karel, sorry I'm late in writing back,

but I was taking a shower.

Hello, Lucie.

I'm sympathetic to long showers.

I just want to know if you have some time after the shower.

I have to clean up my purse now.

Oh, well, it might be too late.

Before that, couldn't we have...

a coffee...

or a business lunch?

Lucie! Good evening.

Do you have time for dinner?

You really know how not to be lucky.

Lucie,

not every filmmaker is a pervert. Mhm?

Isn't it enough to just make a phone call?

He says here: business lunch.

And you need a job, don't you?

Well...

Well.

Okay.

Don't push me.

Thank you.

Hello.

Hello.

Oh, hello.

You're early.

Excuse me?

Well, actresses are always late.

Oh, I see.

I'm a special version 81 and I'm flawless.

What are you reading?

- Orders for Universe. - May I?

- Yes. - Some esotericism, right?

Well...

I lecture on literature, and I've wondered

what the people who read these books look like.

They usually have one head,

two or three arms,

don't go by tram and walk backwards.

You're making fun of me, aren't you?

No, not at all.

I need new stories in my scripts all the time.

I see.

Well, to the point...

In the new series, one of the main

characters has a new job.

And that's where she meets you.

- I see. - You're this kind of career woman

who doesn't shy away from anything.

Right.

Who did you base the character on?

You, who else?

That was a joke!

I'm sorry.

I see.

- You're not eating? - I...

It's not good?

I guess it is.

There're anchovies in the dressing, which I hate.

I'm Pisces, a fish too.

And why did you order the... Caesar salad?

Well, because there's no other salad I can pronounce.

And I didn't want to look like an idiot, which I did anyway.

No.

Not at all. Not at all.

That's why I always just point at the menu.

Right.

I see.

You really are very special...

How did you say?

Version 81?

- Yes. - Mhm.

And what makes me so special?

Well, I guess...

everything.

You look like out of an old movie.

You talk and...

do magic like Terry Pratchett.

And I can't pronounce the names of salads.

Mhm.

Yes, that's me,

81 in all my glory.

- You're just perfect. - Oh.

I have to apologize,

my grandma's expecting me.

Her computer crashed and she can't chat with her friends.

Another little joke?

That I understand.

This is serious.

Exactly.

It's the end of the world.

Updating Grandma is really important.

Well, it is.

Mhm.

Do you want to bring her my salad?

Well, she's a Sagittarius and those can eat anchovies, mhm?

Thanks, bye.

Well, I did my best.

I think... It was good.

- I don't know. - Yeah.

You know how many actresses want that role?

And now he sees me totally...

lunatic.

- Hi. - Hey, where are you, Mom?

You promised at half past.

I'm sorry.

My colleague broke her arm.

I see. Well...

Mom, Kiki's done eating and she's asleep.

- Yeah, yeah. - Thanks, bye.

Where are you going, anyway?

Hello, Mrs. Darling.

Hello.

So where do you wish to go?

How about somewhere in the countryside?

I'd rather welcome art.

Okay, art it is.

Too bad you can't get an original.

Even a print is beautiful.

I'd like to ask for number...

three.

Lucie? In Thailand I bought some...

spices that you can't buy anywhere else.

I see.

Could I invite you to dinner?

At your house?

I'm a good cook.

And I love Asian food.

Did you know she was Amedeo's muse?

Nope.

Jeanne.

A girl from a decent family.

She ran away to find her love,

a poor painter.

What love can do...

But a few days before the wedding, Amedeo died of tuberculosis.

That's terrible.

And you live here alone?

Yes.

I do.

I love space.

Light.

Atmosphere.

You think we don't have enough?

I like watching fire.

Light and shadows.

One of the most important things in film is atmosphere,

and you get that with light.

You have to take it slow. I...

I haven't slept with anyone in a very long time.

Okay.

No, wait...

I'm...

overworked, I guess.

That's okay.

It happens.

No, it's...

I'm sorry.

Jesus, that's embarrassing.

No.

Lucie, love!

Wake up!

You're gonna have a nice breakfast.

I'm coming!

Jakub.

Lenka...

Well, it's Lucie, isn't it...

I'm so sorry, but I can't make it for lunch today.

I still haven't edited the music video,

so I'll be in the editing room all day...

Don't be angry my love...

Teddy Bear...?

Lucie, love!

Come on.

Yeah?

Lucie!

I'm such a stupid cow!

No, Max, no.

That's yuck.

Right.

I'm one big yuck.

What kind of a weirdo is that?

And now he thinks he can make it up with texts.

You simply attract freaks.

First it was Tom'as and his titty pictures,

now it's Teddy Bear

and his errant texts.

I'm just fascinated by guys with imagination.

- Right. - If only you had some fun, you know.

Don't even tell me.

I haven't done it in so long, I just can't take it anymore.

You're picking weirdos, you have a weird choice.

No, I just want a normal guy who's got something in his head

and can create

an illusion, an atmosphere, a story.

I see.

Well, the illusion

Jakub created for you was a perfect one.

Are all creative guys that crazy?

Well, I'm over fifty years old and I can guarantee you they are.

At last.

Well, hello. Where have you been?

We've almost eaten our wishes.

Girls...

I think I'm pregnant.

What?

I had a bit of fun at the after party, so...

Wait, that's where you got your period!

False alarm.

Well, the party was really yours.

But he's a director.

And he said he knew Lucie from some crime movie.

Wait a minute.

I've only done a crime movie once, and the director, Janko, was gay.

That's not Janko...

And he's definitely not gay, too.

Alenka...

You can't sleep with every guy who says he's a director...

- No? - Nope.

Sixty-eight!

Dude...

Pass me...

Pass me that...

You can't now, don't be silly.

I think I'm gonna have to tell him.

You have to tell him!

And don't cry.

I mean, kids are... what's that...

joy.

Not sure.

He doesn't pick up a couple of days.

He's not giving up, is he?

Teddy Bear.

That's a closed chapter.

All of the sudden there he was,

Saint Nicholas was standing at the window,

holding a golden crosier

and wearing a hat,

a warm shawl of white beard...

She's wonderful.

- Yeah. - But you're looking good tonight, too.

Thanks.

Lovely...

Hi!

Hi.

- So, this is Lucie. - This is Ondra.

- Hi. We know each other. - We know each other.

Right.

- I'll get drinks, what do you want? - Water, please.

Handsome.

Does he know?

He's moving in with me.

- Congrats! - Thanks.

Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

This is Ondra, Tom'as.

- Tom'as. - Ondra. Hi.

- What? - I got a part!

- Really? - Irin cast me. I got a job!

- That's great. - Congrats!

- Congrats, too. - Thank you.

Daddy?

Can you read me a story tonight, please?

Why not?

All right.

Let's go.

I have tiny ears, but that's okay.

- That's okay. - You're my darling.

I put her to sleep wonderfully, right?

But sometimes she has nightmares.

Yeah, I've noticed that.

At our house, too.

You got any wine?

To give some to Kiki? Mhm?

I wonder what the Child Protection would say.

You're silly.

Of course I have wine.

That's the second most important thing next to bread

that mothers have at home.

- Lucie? - Mhm?

Why didn't you and I stay together?

Tom...

Stop it...

I feel good after a long time. I have a job.

Think of something nice, like...

like sex, you've always been good at that.

How can you say that after such a...

lovely...

revue? You're a pervert, aren't you?

Don't people fuck during Christmas or what?

I don't.

I can't do it myself, you know that.

- You're not with anyone right now? - Nope.

I miss you.

No, really, don't laugh.

I can't sleep.

I think about you a lot.

Tonight...

we had a good time, didn't we?

I wanted you to know that.

Tom, I would have bought that monodrama some time ago,

but not anymore.

Make me come.

Really?

Mhm.

Happiness, health, and peace be upon you

First to the landlord Then to your children

We're coming from a far land We bring you the news

What has happened to us In the town of Bethlehem?

Yeah.

I didn't mean to leave as a thief.

Yeah, sure.

But you can go now.

You know, I...

I wanna be a good person, don't wanna fuck anything up, but...

Now that I cheated on Nikol,

I don't know how to get back to her.

Maybe by tram?

Good night.

Good night.

Yeah...

Lucie?

Why aren't you answering my calls?

Because I have nothing to say to you.

Even though...

Why didn't you say you had a girlfriend?

The truth!

Well...

because you wouldn't do it.

You bet I wouldn't.

I miss you, Jeanne.

I'm not in the mood for your romantic games.

And don't call me again!

Hello.

Good morning.

Hi, Lucie.

- Hi. - What is your part here?

The new accountant here with Zuzka in the office.

Right, so not a big part.

Nice, though. Nice.

- Listen, Honza... - Let's continue with scene 53...

Get ready, we're starting in a minute.

Lucie to the set, please. Thanks.

Welcome.

- Hi. - Hi.

The actresses are on set. Scene 53.

Here you go.

Director, the actors are on set.

Let's get ready. We're rolling soon.

Guys, number eight, please.

Thanks.

- Beautiful. - Well, uh...

The girls are almost done, we can start rolling.

So, this is your office,

and you're a colleague of Hana.

So, guys!

Let's go to take one, okay? Let's give it a shot.

Quiet, please.

Sound?

Sound ready.

Quiet!

- You okay? - I guess.

Camera ready. Clapper.

53/1, take one.

And...

action!

Would you like some tea, Dana?

I'd like to show you last month's reports.

- Stop, stop. - Stopping now.

Lucie, calm down, the sentence is:

"Would you like some coffee, Hana?"

Oh, Dana, Hana, next, last.

It's okay, no problem.

Let's do it again. Let's go.

Let's do it one more time.

Camera ready.

Clapper.

53/1, take two.

And...

action!

Excuse me.

- Do you know where Karel is? - He's left already.

Well, well...

Another boy with imagination?

Oh, no, I just wanted to thank him.

This one happens to be very nice.

Before he was introduced to me as a writer,

I made him get me coffee three times.

- No! - Yeah!

I think it's funny he wears plaid shirts.

He looks like he fell out of the library.

Listen, he brought everything back all right.

Now he brings me coffee as a tradition.

Really, he's nice.

Put it in my car, okay? Thanks.

- His little jokes. - Miss!

The purse, too.

- You know each other?! - No.

- Not at all. - Mhm.

There, done.

Beautiful.

Daddy!

- Hi. - Hi!

- Hey, girls. - Hi!

Baby Jesus was a bit confused, he didn't know where I'd be,

so he left some presents at my place.

Are there any for me?

Of course there are some for you,

but we'll open them after dinner.

So that Baby Jesus won't get mad.

Mommy, I'm starving.

We have to go to dinner.

Then you'll have to go look outside to see if the star is lit.

The first star's lit, we've got to eat our soup, quick before...

Hurry up, then.

Come.

Pardon, I'm sorry.

Can I start now?

Let's wait for Daddy, okay?

Yeah, I'll come.

Yeah, I love you, bye.

Tom'as!

So, I'm sorry.

Wow, that's beautiful, you are so skilful.

Okay, so...

Let's start by saying a wish...

for the next year.

I wish you'd come home to us.

- So, enjoy your meal. - Enjoy your meal.

Mommy, look!

Do you like it?

Yeah.

Oh!

I almost forgot.

Baby Jesus brought you something, too.

- For me? - Yeah.

For you.

That's lovely, thank you.

Kiki, look!

Wow.

Please,

can you turn it off or sort it out somehow?

I'm sorry.

What? Yeah, yeah, darling.

Of course I'm coming.

Just one coffee and I'll be on my way.

No!

I want to enjoy the kid, too.

I know it's our first Christmas, of course.

No, I haven't had dinner. Of course not.

I love you.

Bye.

What are you doing here?

I live here.

Right.

You didn't tell her about the dinner with us?

I didn't because I'm a big boy

and I can handle three dinners.

You're scared of her.

Why are you ruining Christmas for us?

I thought maybe you and I could...

Shit.

She doesn't respect even that precious once-a-year moment.

Stop it.

- What's your point? - What?

Maybe having to conform to some bitch now?

Can't you just tell her: "I'm having Christmas Eve with the girls"?

Look...

You're lame.

I just...

I won't get insulted.

So you can't.

No! No, it's over!

Stop!

- Stopping now. - Lucie, please ease up, okay?

We're not shooting a social drama.

- Sorry, that was too much, wasn't it? - It's okay.

Let's do it again, okay? Let's go.

All right, let's roll again.

But... like, after that, it was okay?

Yeah, it was good.

Anything better than that would have been kitsch.

- Lucie! - Bye.

- Hello. - Hello, Karel.

So...

How's the shoot going?

A dream come true, thank you.

I got here just now so I don't make you nervous again.

Right. Little jokes again.

I've seen through your lame humor already.

And tomorrow?

I noticed...

you're free.

Yes.

Can I buy you lunch as an apology?

You can't.

But...

Jews have to be rejected three times

if they want to convert, so I'll try at least one more time.

No.

Mhm?

I'm waiting for the third offer.

I see I have competition in lame humor.

Lunch?

Okay, what am I supposed to do with you, dear Karel.

What did you do today when you weren't on set?

I've been struggling with writing since early this morning,

I'm not concentrated.

I've been thinking about you all the time,

so at least I came to see you in the parking lot.

No.

Yes.

He's both single and a gentleman.

What if he's not?

If he has a girlfriend,

I'm sure they'd have a picture here together.

I guess he just has a cat.

Well, he's got a whole...

cat file here.

He's single.

Of course he's single, he has a cat.

What are you doing?

I'm baking an otherworldly bun.

Oh, wow.

Mhm...

a bun...

I'd like that.

Okay, I'll have one otherworldly,

with love baked bun, for you as well.

Now I'm not gonna write anything today for sure.

Oh!

Oh, boy!

There's something in the air.

Yeah.

Ali?

Are you okay?

Ondra left the apartment today.

- What?! - Yeah.

He says he doesn't feel ready for a baby yet.

I'm about to go on my first date with Karel, that Karel.

Lucie... I can't be alone right now.

So you can stay at my place.

When I get back, we'll have coffee, and figure it out, okay?

I won't be here anymore.

Ali, I... I need...

Lucie, sure it's okay I'm coming with you?

Sure, it's okay. Let's go!

Hello, Karel.

Hello, Lucie.

Hello.

A strange thing happened.

My friend Alena can't stay alone tonight.

All right, then.

Alena, this is Karel.

My, my... screenwriter.

Hello, hello.

I mean, no one's ever introduced me like this before.

So, please, have a seat.

I hope I'm at least your personal screenwriter.

Well, I hope so, too.

And if you're skilful, you could

work your way up to a personal trainer.

Mhm?

Well...

Right. Excuse me.

- Lucie, he's so mad about you. - Don't exaggerate.

And you are mad about him, too.

Nonsense.

- Have a seat, Alena. - Thanks.

You're having a baby!

Yes.

When are you expecting?

In June.

Only my boyfriend has just left me.

I'm so sorry.

Are you sure you don't mind me playing gooseberry?

No, not at all.

- It's a work meeting. - Mhm.

Thank you.

- Can I give you a ride? - Yeah!

Right. All right, then, please.

Thank you for the great food.

It was my pleasure.

Can I just ask...

why you broke up?

Do you really want to know?

Watch out, he's a screenwriter.

He's always soaking up stories, and suddenly you're on a show.

I don't want to be a character.

I want to act.

Here.

Right here.

Okay, so, uh...

Thank you for your pleasant company.

Thank you, too.

Bye-bye.

Goodbye.

Lucie!

Give him a goodbye kiss.

No way.

Oh!

Wait!

Hang on!

Yes? Is something wrong?

I forgot to give you my bun.

Lucie...

Yes?

You're just incredible.

Bye, then.

Goodbye.

So I fucked up your first date.

You didn't.

It was just different, like everything else in my life.

But beautiful.

Yes?

Good evening, this is...

your personal screenwriter.

Good evening.

And which one?

I have several.

Karel. The one with the personal trainer ambition.

Oh, my Karel.

I mean, not my Karel, I mean Karel Makovec.

Yes, yes.

Hang on.

- Lucie, good evening. - Good evening.

I'm...

Mhm?

I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you,

but, really, I'm just running my round

and suddenly I'm standing in front of your house.

Really?

So I thought I'd ring your bell, if maybe you'd...

go to have some wine or water... beer.

We didn't have time to talk at lunch last time.

I know. I'm sorry about Alena.

Do you want to come up?

But that's not appropriate, is it?

Oh, please, come on.

Even though...

My place is a mess.

- Do you mind? - I don't.

Come in.

Would you like some water or wine?

Wine, I guess.

And you run by my house like this regularly?

Actually, I do. I mean, no.

No, not by your house...

it's my first time.

So you're running by other actresses.

No, never.

But I run regularly...

so I don't go completely crazy sitting over scripts.

- Thanks. - So what should we make a toast to?

First-name terms.

I'm Lucie.

Karel.

Nice to meet you.

I'm sorry.

- No, no, that's... - Sorry, sorry.

So if that was inappropriate, then...

No, it's okay.

- Sure? - Don't apologize.

- Don't apologize. - I... I... I'd better go...

It was very pleasant.

You know, I'm...

I'm busy at home and...

I've also got...

this... a cat.

I saw it.

You did?

Your Facebook is full of it.

I'll fix it, I promise.

Mhm.

So I'll...

I'll go.

Yeah.

So I don't get completely dizzy on the way.

Okay, thank you...

for the wine.

Some more wine?

Or are you gonna run?

Some more you...

again.

I've been looking for you all my life.

Liar.

You don't even know me.

Wait.

Lucie, I really...

I know it.

I've known you forever.

- Really? - Mhm.

See, and for me you're...

brand new and unexplored.

Girls...

- Hey. - Hi!

What's up?

I slept with Karel.

- You didn't! - Yes!

And you didn't say anything, bitch.

I knew it was gonna happen.

So we can talk about him now?

I knew it from the beginning.

Girls...

He's so wonderful, tender, different.

Every other date, he comes running in wearing a tracksuit.

Like he's a gym teacher...

or a guy from juvie.

No, a screenwriter.

He runs to stay fit since he's sitting all the time.

Boring, boring.

What about the sex, good?

Awesome.

Girls, I came twice in a row.

Oh, don't tell me that.

The last time I had sex was...

at conception.

That sucks.

And how come your writer wasn't picked up by an actress?

- Well? - Well, he wasn't.

All he's got is me and at home, a cat.

- Hi. - Hi.

Hi, Kiki!

Hi! How was it?

Good, but I want to go home.

Sure, baby.

Is she sick?

No.

More like spoiled.

I don't like it at all.

You want a ride?

Yeah, to the station, thanks.

- Lucie... - Yes?

I've been thinking.

How we're both somewhere else and we could be together.

We treat each other nicely,

the sex obviously works,

I'd say we...

...like each other?

Yeah...

So I was wondering...

if we could give it another try.

Tom, I'm sorry, not anymore.

I'm seeing someone.

I see.

Abracadabra, be a unicorn!

What if Kiki will be too much for him?

She won't.

You know how it went with Jakub last time.

"Daddy's got a gun, I want to poop."

Don't worry.

Lucie!

Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

Wait, you're not wearing a tracksuit.

No, no, it wouldn't go with the surprise I got you.

And I have a surprise, too.

You have Kristina with you.

Mhm.

Kiki!

I had to--

actually, I wanted to bring her.

That's great.

Hi, Kristina, hi, I'm Karel.

Hi, I'm Kiki, and what are you doing here?

Well...

I'm...

I'm here to see you.

And you know Mommy from work?

Exactly.

Would you like to throw some rocks?

Can you show me?

- How about ducks and drakes? - Yes.

Come on, then!

You've got a good supply.

I'll get one, too, okay?

Look.

Either he fits into our world, or...

- Good one! Look, look. - ...he's not the one.

Or not. Not in the water, then. Now!

Don't worry, now and now!

Hi.

Kiki.

Hello.

Karel. Here.

Thank you. Bye.

- What is it? - I want to be perfect for you.

But you're perfect already.

Hello.

I have a reservation.

- The Makovecs? - Yes.

Here you go.

Thank you.

The Makovecs?

How come I didn't meet you earlier, my love?

Good boys are not appreciated by girls

until all the womanizers are done with them.

So now it's your time.

Thank you.

- Enjoy your meal. - Bon app'etit, how's the writing?

Since you crashed into my life...

Mhm.

...really bad.

Well, in order to keep filming,

you and I need to see each other more often

so you don't miss me so much.

I'd love to...

but...

I've still got to sort out the...

that...

- you know. - Karel.

I get it, but a cat is not a dog.

You don't have to walk it.

- Lucie? - Plus, you should know...

I'm allergic to cats.

But... I don't have a furry cat in my house.

You have one of those naked ones?

No, a human one.

I'm sorry?

I have a girlfriend at home.

Wait, I don't think I understood you correctly.

You have a girlfriend at home?

Like a partner? A wife?

No, a fianc'ee.

That's even better!

But I thought you knew

and just didn't want to talk about it.

I'm dealing with it.

Lucie. Can you hear me?

I just want to be with you, baby, I love you!

Just you.

Can you answer me, please? Lucie!

Hope and future?

It must be a mistake.

It's-- it's not what it looks like.

For fuck's sake!

He just told me he has a fianc'ee!

- Do you get it? - That's what I don't understand.

I... still believe I wasn't wrong.

Bullshit, supposedly special, different!

I'm sorry, Lucie, but I'm just as hurt as you are, okay?

He's just a regular asshole,

he took advantage of me.

And I, the naive, incorrigible cow,

even introduced him to Kiki.

Yeah, well...

DIVORCE? ONLY ITALIAN STYLE!

Maybe we just missed something.

It doesn't mean it's over.

It does.

And if I were you, I'd crawl into a hole and be quiet.

- Well... - Well, there's no "well"!

Stop feeding me your bullshit!

Hey!

Lucie?

I'm sorry, but...

I don't get it.

Shut up!

Silence is the only thing that doesn't hurt me.

Lucie, are you crazy?!

You're embarrassing me all over the supermarket,

why don't you answer the phone?

Mom?

The manager had to send me home, I couldn't

work at the cash register, my hands were shaking that much!

- What happened? - I'm asking you what happened!

That boyfriend of yours came into the store

and scared the hell out of me.

As you can see, I'm fine.

Then go and call him. He was white as a sheet.

He can be green, too!

Lucie, stop it!

I'm running all over town

and I'm on disability pension for my legs!

I'm alive.

And that circus of yours was unnecessary.

I know everything that matters.

PS:

Pick a nice wedding invitation.

Some wine?

I don't drink wine.

Do you have a headache pill?

Lucie...

I only have you and Kristina.

What would I do without you?

And you know what?

I'm gonna give up the weekend shifts.

They can have someone else at the register, even the manager.

I want to be with you more often.

I want to live.

What's up, Lucie?

Bad morning?

No, not really, it's fine.

There's a big bag with a coat in it for you.

What coat?

Lucie, I'm sorry,

I'm gonna figure my life out,

and I hope I can hug you soon.

Your Karel.

PS:

the pendant is proof that I am serious about my words.

Coat, right.

Hi.

Hi.

Thank you for the coat and the letter.

So how do you see this new life working out?

I'm gonna break up with my partner

and we're gonna start a nice new relationship.

Okay.

And since when are you planning

our nice new relationship?

I'd say October.

But it's May!

Hi.

So if you'd say October,

then call me in October, maybe I'll be free.

Lucie!

We are really done here.

October.

What a freak he is!

Camera, clapper.

115/1, take one.

Quiet, please!

So let's concentrate.

And... action!

Do you love Karel?

Mhm?

Yeah.

He was just different.

No.

No, he was just like everybody else.

No.

He's different.

He was the only one who didn't lie to you.

Maybe...

maybe you just...

misunderstood each other.

Shut up, please.

This is a closed chapter.

How many more men do I have to survive

before I find someone normal?

October.

What is it this time?

Ticket inspector, huh? Is it a fine? Taxes? Am I right?

Mom, any of those, you know me.

Right, I know you.

Tom'as Liska, M.A., born 26...

July, 19...

Let me see what it says.

Municipal Court in Prague, Request for...

What, for shared custody?

Is he crazy?

He can't even heat up a sausage!

Mommy, don't cry, why are you crying?

It's okay, Kiki, it's nothing. Mommy just got a big fine, you know.

Let's do it again and...

with more energy this time, let's go.

I didn't deserve that.

But, Monica, it's not like that!

Well, then, how is it?

The word loyalty is...

Let's have a ten-minute break.

Why?

I don't want to lose her.

Is that why you're requesting shared custody?

Yeah.

Tom, you're gone working all the time.

You travel over the country.

But that's not true.

I've changed my mind, too, and I'm only gonna work in Prague.

Plus, unlike you, I'm in a relationship.

And that's exactly it.

Why should she be with a stranger when she can be with her mom?

But she's not with her dad!

Got it? She's not with her dad.

Have I ever stopped you from seeing her?

I...

just...

I want to live with my daughter. I want to raise her, you know?

You should have thought of that before you fucked half the country!

Don't be lame. I won't get insulted.

- Director? - What is it?

Ready?

Sure, I'm coming.

I have to think about it some more.

Bye.

- Hi, Ali. - Lucie, I think I'm in labor.

- What, already? - Yeah.

Well, take a cab, go to the hospital, and I'll be right there.

Taxi drivers don't take pregnant women.

- Ali, my car's being serviced! - I'm so scared!

Call an ambulance.

- I'm too shy! - What?

I'm too shy!

Ali, calm down! Hang on!

I'm sorry.

It kind of came to me automatically, you know, you have a car and...

No, I'm happy to help.

Oh, no, I'm ruining your date again!

- No, it's fine. - No, get in, please, come on, come on.

Thanks, thank you.

Here I go again!

It's getting faster, every five minutes.

Relax, come on.

Yeah?

But, Ali, how is this possible?

You're not due for another month!

Ask the baby!

If this is false labor, I'm gonna shit myself at the birth!

Has your water broken yet?

No! But my vajayjay hurts like hell!

It's here, it's here again!

Is it gonna get worse?

No, it won't.

Lucie, I think I peed myself.

Karel, I'm sorry, I don't know how this happened.

It's fine, it's fine.

It's just your water!

- Really? - Yeah!

No, Karel, I'll clean it up, I promise!

- Keep driving! - I'm driving, I'm driving.

Karel, go ahead...

Yeah, I'll ring the bell.

My back hurts so bad.

Relax, Alena, relax.

Look, millions of women have done it before you, you can do it!

But some of them died doing it.

Hello.

Mommy, do you have your pregnancy card?

Yeah, it's in the pocket.

- Yeah. - Here.

We're gonna examine you now.

- Thank you. - Oh, so...

Keep the bag with you for now, Daddy.

Okay, but I'm not the dad, you know?

I see. So we have two moms here?

No, I'm just a friend, a companion.

And will either of you be with the mom at the birth?

- No. - Yeah!

Her!

Okay.

- Just breathe, okay? - Yeah, thanks.

DELIVERY ROOMS - ADMISSION OPERATING ROOMS

- Okay, so... - So...

Thank you for driving us.

Thank you...

for the call.

Your friend's going to the operating room.

- Excuse me? - It looks like a precipitous delivery.

Come.

Okay... thank you, Karel.

- Bye. - Thank you. Bye!

PUSH

Lucie?

- Oh, you're here? - Lucie.

So?

Look how pretty she is.

Just like an elf, that's...

that's amazing. What's her name?

Sofie.

Beautiful, really.

Lucie, look, I...

I want to apologize for the...

the bad start.

And the ending, too.

But I'm really sure you're the woman of my life.

Wait, wait, wait.

You still got your... cat girl?

No, we've broken up.

Oh, how sudden!

I mean, it's only May.

I'm staying...

with a friend.

Lu... Lucie M'ajov'a.

No!

No, wait, that's...

No, you, uh...

Will you marry me? Will you be my wife?

- Wait... - Is it a shock?

- Yeah. - I get it, you don't have to say anything.

I have something else to show you, okay? Come, come with me.

This is where I live.

- There's a spot here. - I know.

I have a little surprise for you and Kiki.

I see.

Come on in.

So...

I rented this apartment for us.

- What? - Yeah, yeah. Later.

Kitchen.

Bathroom.

I'll show you later. Come on, come on, come on!

And here's where I thought... this could be Kiki's room.

And... come on, come here.

Here. Sorry.

This... this could be our bedroom. Look.

Wait, you rented an apartment without knowing if I wanted to see you?

Yeah.

And if you turn me down, I'll live here on my own.

Karel, you're crazy.

I love you, Lucie.

This is like in a movie.

Right.

And what about the ring?

How come you had it on you?

I have it all the time.

I've just been waiting to meet you.

Well, better safe than sorry.

Shall we move on?

Kitchen.

Yes.

What?

Karel...

yes.

- Yes? - Yes!

Yes.

What kind of an idiot sends a text at 6 a.m.?

Tom'as?

I can't sleep,

you're right,

a flower cannot be moved to a different window every week.

It would wilt.

Kiki will grow up at your place and I'll just keep watering her.

Bye.

Tom, you've just stepped out of your own shadow.

You're a great parent.

You put Kiki first.

Thank you for her.

Everything okay?

Yes, totally.

You're my greatest happiness in life.

- Darling. - Mhm?

It's the hormones, you know?

OPE AND FUTURE

Hope and future.

Welcome to the starting line of life.

The starting line? You're kidding, right?

No, I'm not.

And you have a lot to look forward to.

I'll have one too, okay?

Three spoons are fine.

Hello. I'm an actress. Eh...

One more time.

One of the main characters in the new series...

What's so funny? She's in a new environment now.

Sorry. I beg your pardon.

That's enough. I'll just...

In the new series...

The new series is really nice, though. Oh, man!

Very good.

I think I did my best.

Calm down, it's fine.

- It's good. - Yeah, I realized that.

Poltergacka!

Successful, right?

Where from?

I really have to try it.

I'm sorry.

Again.

I don't think so.

- All right, I'll try again. - Why is it taking such a long time?

I don't know what you expected.

A really nice position. Looking good as well. Come on.

You're supposed to play your role, right? You've been licking for ages.

I've been swallowed by my role.

Well...
