MAGIC BOX presents

You're listening to Radio Free Europe.

Looking at permeability of borders

in Western Europe, the chances to travel,

to read yesterday's London newspaper

in Sicily, one must getjealous.

- Anna, what time are you coming?

- I don't know.

Dressed up so lightly you'll catch a cold.

Last week you had a sore throat.

You won't be able to train.

Are you listening at all?

Anna, your mum sent you jogging

this morning once again, didn't she?

How many times do I have to tell you?

Tell her I have my own training plan

so she'd better stop messing with it.

No one looks as good with a bucket as you do.

True, isn't it? Thas why

I actually chose this job.

- Hi.

- Hi.

How are you?

Great.

- How are you?

- I remember better times.

I wanted to ask you for a favour.

I need you to copy some text.

Marek, Anna has just got enrolled

in the National Sports Centre.

Wait, has she? Thas amazing.

It is. But I can't afford

to get into any troubles now.

Got it.

Well then m screwed.

I can't keep this at home,

they search my house all the time.

And I don't want to give it to someone unreliable.

You never really liked it anyway.

Thas not true.

Ls not that. I did like it, but...

- Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Irena, do it for me, please.

But it will take me really long.

ve lost the knack.

Go now.

ll call you soon. And thanks a lot.

- Bye.

- Bye.

- It felt stupid to say no.

- So he shows up and you can't say no?

As if he hasn't put you through enough.

ve made an exception.

And Marek is cautious.

No one will find out.

Plus I like doing it.

Mum?

The boy from the tram invited me to a concert tonight.

Thas nice of him. But I don't think

this is the right time for dating.

You also managed to train

and date my dad at the same time.

But I played tennis, it was different.

The trainings were different, too.

Plus your dad was my coach.

You mean you'd rather see me

dating my coach? Bohdan?

Are you in love already or what?

m sure your dad would have

told you not to rush into that.

Fortunately my dad is too far away to interfere.

On a tram or somewhere on the road

he might dare to say a soft hello

Hello, hello, hello,

how are you

Hello, hello, hello

m not too blue

Hello, hello, are you in a rush?

Hello, hello, hello

not too much

So they say

So they say

So they say

their hellos.

I could take you home

on my motorcycle. Alright?

Alright.

Thanks for the invitation.

Thanks for coming.

I have to go.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Speed up! C'mon, les go!

Faster!

Last 10 meters!

55,3. Thas alright.

It coulve been better.

58,4. Why so sloppy, Martina?

Les check your pulses, girls.

Come here.

- Stop. 29. You?

- 30.

Les do it once again, ok?

- No, not anymore.

- Shut up and go.

Add some joy in your dying.

Something wrong with your arm?

- They're doing well.

- Are they?

They're my girls.

The coach was awful today.

Was it this hard last summer?

Ls your first day, you'll get used to it.

Hi girls.

Hi.

Comrade, we enrolled you in a program

which helps our athletes develop their skills

by means of modern medicine.

At our department we chose those

who can prove socialist athletes

are the best in the world.

Dr Pavelka will supervise your health.

We suppose your performance will improve

rapidly within the specialized care.

It is a big chance for you.

Congratulations.

What is the specialized care?

Each athlete uses different harmless supporting means

within his or her health program.

Each program is built individually.

And me, in particular?

You'll stop taking the vitamine B

and start taking Stromba.

What is it?

Stromba supports growth of muscle

tissue and speeds regeneration.

We're starting today.

Now I want you to sign the agreement.

Naturally, it stays among us.

The second document is a pledge of secrecy.

But why is it secret?

Because the headquarters have made this decision.

Break your leg.

Comrade, can I talk to you?

m not sure about that girl.

Even the headquarters questioned

her as a proper candidate.

But comrade, Anna won the championship without difficulty.

200 meters in 23,82 seconds, thas incredible time.

Naturals like her come once in 20 years.

Anna is really good, comrade.

She could bring us medals.

We hope so otherwise we would

never enroll her in our program.

But any misconduct of hers would upset the Union for sure.

You're in the Centre on trial yourself.

Next time keep your mouth shut.

I promised you'd be good.

I got scolded by Kracik.

What have I done to him?

Ls not you but everyone remembers

what your mum was doing in 1968

so you'd better be good.

Whas all the fuss about signing?

Not everyone got enrolled. Think.

You are the lucky one.

Lie down, ll give you the injection and no more talking.

How often will you give it to me?

Once a day for two weeks, then

two weeks off, then another two weeks.

What?

Too shy? With me?

Come on, lie down.

Good night.

Coach?

- Give me the Stromba,

my mum will do it for me. - What?

My mum could give me the Stromba injections.

No, is my responsibility.

She gives me the B and no one minds.

Ls not the same. I signed a deal

to keep this under my control.

You know me, coach.

And you know my mum too. Please.

Hello.

They don't care if you do it or someone else does.

Well, let your mother look after your ass for all I care.

But if you start messing about

ll get back in charge, clear?

Sure.

I wish I experienced this myself.

You will.

Once I dreamt I was standing there

and I forgot the anthem lyrics.

Awful, I wanted to sing but I didn't know what.

I would always dream about ending up last.

It must be so cool.

I don't know. There was

no instruction inside, nothing.

They say it helps muscles grow,

is like the B but stronger.

They're so secretive about it.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I didn't know about your dad.

Sorry about that.

If he could see you today he would find you attractive.

I haven't copied the text for you yet.

It takes longer than I thought.

You don't like it? Is it stupid?

No, is just that I haven't typed for years.

And I type when Anna is away from home.

I see. I brought you a sequel today.

Well...

Listen, you don't have to, if you don't want to.

No, m happy to help you out.

And the text is beautiful.

Really?

Thanks.

- How is Anna?

- She trains a lot.

She is doing great.

I hope she'll get to race in the West.

I want her to stay there.

I see.

I hate it here.

And I know she'll hate it here just as much as I do now.

Fine, but does she want to emigrate?

I don't know. I haven't

talked to her about it yet.

But I hope she'll agree.

Shall we go?

- But you'll stay here all alone.

- Do I have a choice?

Besides I must look after my parents'

grave, too. Give me the text.

Thanks.

You want to sleep here today?

What are you doing?

Can't you see?

My legs got real hairy, too.

You probably took after your dad.

I can see I inherited the best I could.

Come on now.

- What?
