I can't even do this.

So what can we do?

We can't do anything.

What are you doing?

Being a virgin.

I look like a virgin, don't I?

I am a virgin!

I see.

Can you understand that?

Nobody understands anything.

Nobody understands us.

Everything's going bad in this world.

What do you mean, everything?

Well, everything...

In this world...

You know what?

If everything's going bad...

So...

...we're going...

- Bad... - As...

- Well. - Right!

Do you care?

I don't care.

What's that you've got?

What are you sucking on?

Show me!

No, no, no, no!

What are you doing?

Is anything out there?

Come on.

Where to?

Some place where there's something.

What next?

You should've been here yesterday. It was such fun.

You can't be everywhere.

We're always...

SO busy.

What do you think of that?

Not bad. But not for now.

Let's have a look.

Yeah...

Yeah...

Okay, I'm going.

- At least have some wine, Jirinka. - I don't know. You choose.

Go on.

- What's on the wine list? - Something special for you?

A bottle of wine?

No. Just a glass.

That's our Jarmila!

Don't look!

Oh, you're here?

It's nice here, isn't it?

So it's you?

My sister told me lots about you.

Won't you introduce me?

I am the sister.

Jarmila!

- Will the young lady be dining? - And wining as well.

Another glass, please.

- Have you got snails? - Sorry, we don't.

Nor rabbit, I suppose?

They've got venison.

No, that's too big. I only want something little.

I'll have the chicken, then. Is it big enough? One moment.

I'll have something small to start with.

- Would you like some cakes? - No, thank you. You have some.

I don't know...

Yes, we'll have that.

And that.

Don't be silly. Have some.

She's scared she'll get fat.

Why aren't you eating?

Are you on a diet?

Well, you see...

I couldn't bear that.

I don't like sweet things.

I love food.

I love eating.

It's delicious.

- Have you got any little ones? - I beg your pardon!

Isn't it hot here?

I'd say so. Here it is!

- How old are you? - Why do you want to know?

Loosen up a bit.

Waiter! Do you smoke? Would you offer me a cigarette?

I haven't finished yet!

You're spoiling her.

Have any with a filter? There you are. Such filth...

The spoons are so heavy.

What time is your train?

In about 40 minutes!

Forty minutes? Let's hurry up, then.

The bill, please.

We'll be fine if we take a taxi.

At least it hasn't left yet.

Jirinka, would you get a paper for me?

I just don't understand.

I told her you were an uncle.

What do you mean, uncle?

My boyfriend's uncle.

What do you mean, boyfriend?

He lives in Jicin...

She'll tell on me!

What do you mean?

That I run around...

with old men!

- Here you are. - Thank you, and goodbye.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Thanks. - Bye.

Pardon me.

Yeah I know. He didn't want to leave on his own.

Oh, my God.

Guard, where does the train stop first?

This one?

Probably at the next stop.

I thought it was the Orient Express.

Never mind. Bohemia's beautiful too.

My Bohemia

And who's going to pay for this?

Dead men tell no tales.

Only, you forgot to close the window.

You've got bandy legs.

Don't you know I've based my personality on that?

Tie your legs up at the knees.

You've got to get some exercise. Get me some water.

Rehabilitation center.

Die! Die! Die!

Die! Die! Die!

Can't you smell it?

- What? - How volatile life is!

Isn't it nice to be home?

Why keep talking about it?

Say that it's nice to be home.

So you do care!

No, I don't care.

Then say it's nice.

I'll say what I like.

Maybe I'll even have a piano.

When I run around like you.

What?

Who's running around?

We're spoiled, aren't we?

And I've got a job, you nitwit!

You've spilt milk on your breasts.

But you look smart.

Why do you want to spoil us?

- You know we're still maturing. - How do you mean?

- When is it going? - When is what going?

Let me fix that hanky of yours.

Marcelka told me you were a researcher.

Hanky, hanky, big white hanky.

Our daddy would think you're a baddie.

Miluska, that's too much!

Don't take it like that. She was born with meningitis.

And what about Blanka?

How old's your old woman?

I've had just about enough!

This is the fifth one to leave! I'm fed up.

We have to think of something better.

It's so extraordinary.

I wouldn't have believed it possible.

Like a message from another world.

But you're so earthly,

yet so heavenly.

You don't belong to this century.

Do you hear me?

Julie,

please.

Don't be like this.

You should never have come into my life!

Julie?

Yes?

Just a misunderstanding.

I don't know what's happening to me today.

How can you treat me like this when you know how much I love you?

Julie!

I have no idea what you want.

Julie!

Now I know what love is.

I want this moment to last forever.

Don't treat me like this.

Without you, my life is torture.

You've no idea what this means. I must be in love with you.

Damn it!

Julie!

Have you got any food?

A bit of jam, at least.

Hi.

What have you been doing?

How's life?

- Would you like some coffee? - We're in a hurry today.

If only I was as young.

Oh, youth of mine Why run away with time?

Why when I think of you Do my eyes fill with tears true?

Where are you off to?

Some place else.

It's no fun here today.

Don't leave me, my little girl

Be my friend

- Leave love alone... - Bye-bye.

Wait! Don't go.

Sit down. I'll make you some coffee.

Look.

An angel. And she's not flying.

Look. She's got some dough here.

She went to get us some sugar, and we've stolen from her.

What do you mean, we? I did.

So you're a thief!

Yes. I'm worse than you.

There...

And it also means that I'm a liar.

That's nothing.

Everyone does that.

No one can tell.

Come on.

Let's do something big, okay?

We're on fire!

Julie, is that you?

Yes, it's me.

Julie, I keep thinking about you.

I must have fallen in love with you.

You don't know what that sleepless night with you means to me.

Julie,

I keep waiting for you.

I'm afraid I might never see you again.

Don't treat me like this when you know I love you.

Are you there?

Are you upset with me?

Forgive me, but life without you is torture.

You don't belong to this century.

I love you, Julie.

I wouldn't have believed it possible.

Now I know what love is.

Another piece of meat?

What are you doing?

There's no meat around here.

What about this?

No.

I only want fruit now.

What do you mean, fruit? I don't understand you.

Say you'll come again.

Do you hear, Julie?

I still fancy something.

I can't hear you very well.

- Domestic fowl. - I've fallen in love with you.

- A nice chicken. - My little chicken!

That's too big.

A nice steak!

Yes. A nice, little steak.

With a nice slice of bread.

Yes, I've got some nice bread at home.

Julie, forgive me.

I love you.

I love you, Julie.

Say you won't treat me like you did last time.

I wouldn't have believed it possible.

It's never happened to me before.

Julie, now I really I think

I know now what love...

What are you doing?

What a shame!

What's his name?

You know, I have no idea.

I completely forgot to ask him.

But I've got his phone number.

- You going there? - Of course.

Do this bit here.

Girls, you're all tatty.

All these frills!

What will you think of next?

All these frills.

What's been keeping you? I'm waiting for you like an idiot.

Where have you been?

How am I supposed to be able to get rid of him on my own?

Watch out for bones.

Watch out for the bony bits.

Look out for phony bonies.

Fishy, fishier, fishiest.

Girlies! Girlies!

Girlies! Girlies!

Hasn't the world gone bad?

Kiss me.

When's your train?

Look.

Rails!

I'm fed up.

I can't think of anything new.

We'll have to think of a worse kind of life.

Yeah.

Aplt...

Augusta...

Arsen...

He's in jail, isn't he?

Right, now, B...

Baggage...

That's too lyrical.

Beranek...

What happened to Beranek?

He got a job.

Coural...

Horrid!

I don't know that one.

I say "horrid" because we haven't got anyone for H.

- What are you doing? - I can't read it.

It's Doda.

I see.

Who was it who kept saying,

"What will become of us?"

The one who died?

Yeah.

His signature must be here somewhere.

Hansel's arrived.

Our Gretel's all het up.

Marie, can you hear me? It's me, Hansel. Open the door.

Please open the door. I know you're there.

I must talk to you. I have to explain.

It was just a little misunderstanding.

I keep thinking about you.

Open the door, Marie.

He keeps thinking about you.

Marie.

Go on, open it,

if he keeps thinking about you.

Please.

He must be in love with you.

Don't start, if he keeps thinking about you.

Marie.

He's got a nice voice, this Johnny.

Please open the door!

Johnny, Jack...

John...

Do you love me, John?

Look, Hans, is there anything to eat there?

Or perhaps you care?

Who says I'm saying anything?

Give me his address, then.

Here's a little pen.

Legibly, okay?

I don't like you anymore.

Nor I you.

But I mean it.

Really.

Not anymore.

I don't like you at all.

Where are you off to?

Where have you been?

At the end.

At the end of what?

At the end of the pier.

Come on.

Where to?

To bed.

Come on.

I told you to come.

Blah, blah, blah!

- No. - You have to smoke.

How depraved.

Indeed.

Come on.

Please.

Look, a butterfly!

That's what I don't understand.

Why do they say, "I love you"?

Do you understand?

Why don't they say, for example, "egg"?

What a good idea.

Give me one.

I just meant it as an example.

Come on!

If it's something that matters.

So what's supposed to matter?

Do you really think that it matters?

That there's something?

Even when someone is no more?

You mean, when someone dies?

Let's say you.

Why me? What about you?

We're sitting here now.

Just imagine if it weren't us.

That would be too bad.

But who tells you it's us?

- And that you exist at all? - You do.

Oh, that's true.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to prove with you.

You're not registered here.

You don't work.

There is no proof you exist.

Nothing exists.

Is something there?

Let me see.

Something should be happening.

But what?

You're always rushing off somewhere.

Roses red, roses red

How I love roses red

I want them for you, my beloved

I pick them to please you

For your blonde hair

A ring I shall weave

Roses red, how I love thee

LADIES

Anything to do there?

We can try somewhere else, can't we?

Do we care?

We don't care.

One should try everything!

What are you staring at?

What is he doing?

He's going to water the garden.

Lucky guy!

What, getting up so early?

Nobody's paying any attention to us.

What if we're lacking something?

People don't realize how freezing it is in the morning.

What are you thinking about?

See how you look?

I wonder why that gardener didn't notice us.

What are we doing here?

Why didn't he at least tell us off?

He wasn't even sorry for us.

What an old fogy.

We're still young.

We're young, and we've got our whole lives ahead of us.

Know what worried me?

That we were invisible to him.

That's stupid.

- I thought we'd evaporated. - What an idea.

So why didn't he notice us? Why didn't the cyclists notice?

Why, I wonder.

Why is there water here? Why?

Why's there a river? Why?

Why, Uncle?

Why am I cold? Why?

Why?

There you are. We do exist.

We exist, we exist, we exist, we exist...

It's nice to be home.

Die! Die! Die!

I'm on fire, you're on fire, he's on fire, we're on fire.

Can you feel how volatile life is?

How can you treat me like this when you know I'm in love with you?

What will become of us? What will become of us?

What will become of us?

There's no proof at all.

I'm lying here.

Just imagine if it weren't me...

No more walks. Never again, okay?

Right.

No more walks, ever again.

Is this right?

Too much!

Do you care?

- Do you care? - I don't care.

Let's go. There's nothing here.

Look. It says "Meals."

I'm hungry.

There might be something up there.

- Yeah, cold. - Let's go!

Quick! Someone's coming!

Send us up.

TRANSPORTATION OF PERSONS PROHIBITED!

My leg fell asleep.

Are we here?

Let me look.

This must be it.

Where are they?

What?

The meals!

Come on.

Come on.

One, two, three, four...

...eleven, 12, 13. 14.

What are you drinking?

Wine.

What are you licking off your finger?

Go carefully, so no one notices.

Look.

See? Carefully.

This is interesting and piquant!

That is lovely!

Look at this animal.

It's got eyes!

This is a nice relish!

Why don't we use plates?

Let's lay out a banquet!

So...

what now?

Pickled mushrooms!

Don't worry. Do you care?

No, of course I don't care.

- Did you try this green one? - Which one?

We haven't got anything to drink.

Quick! It's too heavy!

Johnny!

Look! Little cakes!

These ones are better.

This is what I call a cake,

not that crap of yours.

Do you care?

No, I don't care!

A fashion show!

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THEY COULD END UP

Help!

IS THERE ANY WAY TO MEND

WHAT'S BEEN DESTROYED?

We're drowning!

We're shouting for help!

It's because we've gone bad!

Help!

- Help! - Help us!

Help!

We don't want to be bad!

EVEN IF THEY HAD A CHANCE,

IT WOULD PROBABLY LOOK LIKE THIS

Let's clear all this up. Quickly.

If we're good and hardworking, we'll be happy...

We've got to tidy it up. Let's make it all nice.

We'll be happy because we're hardworking...

It still needs a bit more here...

We'll be hardworking, and everything will be clean...

When we get everything done, we'll be good and happy...

We'll be hardworking and good...

Are you crazy?

It will be beautiful again, all clean and tidy...

If we work hard, we'll be happy and good.

We will polish this, and we'll be happy.

We worked hard, didn't we?

Yes. We've fixed everything.

All nice again!

I'm happy!

I'm happy too.

We're both so happy.

Say that we're happy.

Is this a game?

It isn't.

We're really happy!

But who cares?

THIS FILM IS DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE

WHOSE SOLE SOURCE OF INDIGNATION

IS A TRAMPLED-ON TRIFLE
