Grandhotel Page #3

Synopsis: In this whimsical, rather fey movie in a setting that's both shabby (the city) and grand (the landscape), two couples who trade places and two older men who bother the shy main character Fleischman wander in and out of scenes in a hotel perched on a mountain and topped by a pointed weather tower. There are dreamy, breathtaking panoramic views of sky, clouds, and the city of Liberic below. Up in that tower, Fleischman practices the art of meteorology and shies away from girls.

- You will be, I know it!

- Is it for girls? I'm pretty...

- Creative. -Then it's for you.

- Can we go, honey?

- Sure.

Johnson also said:

Life is like a math test.

You're calculating a problem, and

you realise you made a mistake.

You want to start over

but you can't. And the bell rings.

You guys should get together.

Your hair looks great.

Fleischman,

I brought you something.

- What's that? -Thread, of course.

For if you need to sew something.

- Like what? -l could help you.

I've sewn my whole life.

I sewed this top myself.

If I need to sew anything

I'll let you know.

There was a fountain here.

It was the pride of the town.

And the town

was the pride of Europe.

Now it's Europe's piss pot.

It rains here

more than over the Atlantic.

It's a tough test for any pilot.

It's the hills all around.

The clouds get trapped here.

You're right.

Every pilot must be able to decode

weather and terrain. Every pilot.

- You really lived here?

- Mein Gott, it's horrible!

I'm home again. Right here.

My mother sang me to sleep here.

This floor was cleaner than

an operating table at the hospital.

I'll send you to the hospital,

you Nazi.

- None of you has any ahnung

what war is. -Go back to the Reich.

- What did you say?

- The war is just beginning!

- Let me go!

- Let him go!

- Let him go! -Let me go!

- What do you care, you fag.

- Are you okay, Herr Franz?

- Yeah.

I can't end it here.

Only over my dead body.

Good p*ssy is easy to spot.

- That's remarkable.

- How her tits stick out?

Don't tell me

the weather turns her on like that.

I mean the high over the Balkans.

I wonder if she has those Japanese

balls inside her, like a geisha.

Did you hear that tinkling?

I heard tinkling.

- I've never seen a high like that.

- Screw the high, look at her low.

I'm looking

but I want to hear her, too.

- F***ing cut it out.

- This is important.

What's important

is how the Tigers played.

The record was broken May 27, 1942,

the day Heydrich was assassinated.

You got no idea about beaver

because you only care in this crap.

The Liberec White Tigers

trounced Sparta Prague 5 to 1.

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Those prancing Praguers

had it coming!

Who's the best?

White Tigers of Liberec!

I'll keep writing them

till they stop m...making mistakes.

Your folks m...made a mistake too,

you jerk-off.

I don't have to stand for this!

- You went too far.

- Too far?

You start trashing the hotel

and I went too far?

Go on, get moving! You're fired!

Hit the road!

- Where to?

- Doesn't matter.

- Okay, Warsaw. 830 crowns.

- Not there. How about Jablonec?

One way?

Bye.

I've never been here.

My mom used to bring me here.

Once I saw a little tornado here

but no one believed me.

May 25, 1995. That day

had ideal tornado conditions.

- Is it in your graphs?

- Yes.

- I need a tornado like that.

- Why? -l don't know.

To suck me up

and toss me somewhere.

- Where?

- Just somewhere else.

But you said you liked it here.

I guess not absolutely.

Midges.

I shoot them down.

I can't.

- Did you go on a trip?

- Can you whistle on grass?

- Sure.

- Show me.

- I can't do that either.

- I'll whistle for you.

I once jumped out of a second story

window, but nothing happened to me.

- I was in fifth grade. Suddenly

I understood. -Understood what?

The way my mom had said goodbye,

like I'd never see her again.

So I jumped, ran home,

and only my grandma was there.

There was

a beautiful storm that day.

At school they thought

I jumped because of dictation.

Careful.

Hold on.

Thanks.

- Think we could be

on a first-name basis? -Sure.

- I'm Ilja. -That's a guy's name,

isn't it? -My grandfather's.

I'm Fleischman.

If you want

to go someplace tonight...

take a raincoat.

Aha... Thanks.

- Bye.

- Bye.

I like how you wear your hair.

- Abend.

- Abend.

- Abend. W nschen Sie etwas?

- Zimmer, bitte.

Zimmer, ja? So now

it's good enough here, eh?

You pigs thought you'd save some

money. Bullshit. Okay fine, Zimmer.

Goddammit, don't put your

wet crap on my display counter.

Put it around that corner.

Ecke, Ecke; it'll dry by morning.

In the morning, it won't be...

Sehr schlecht, man. Put it there.

- And now we're full.

- We're full? No, I'm full!

- Gute Nacht!

- Gute Nacht! Bezahlen in the morning. Papieren hier.

Morning, okay? In the Morgen.

Am I dreaming?

You physically attack me,

I fire you, and then

you act like nothing happened.

Pinch me to see if I'm dreaming!

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

You're...You're... Where are you...

Obviously Miss Rakosova

knows who and where she is.

Welcome to the Jested Grand Hotel.

Got a room?

- A room? We're full.

- Full? You're full.

Of course we have a room.

Anything for you.

This way, please.

Humpty Dumpty...

- You can't be serious?

- Hey, I know how things work in TV.

Isn't there anything else

besides that creep's pigpen?

- You just passed up

the Liberec Miracle, b*tch. -What?

We're really full. But

there's a cottage down the hill.

You can't send me out in the storm.

Where is she?

- Who? -Rakosova?

- Rakosova who?

- Know who that is? -Rakosova?

- Right. Know who I am? -No.

I'll leave my number...

Call me when Rakosova shows up.

Thanks. I'm Milan.

Fuckhead.

Good evening, I'm Milan Lisy,

and this is sports roundup...

I brought you some clean towels.

A man was looking for you

but I said you weren't here.

- Thanks. I borrowed a T-shirt.

- Sure, no problem.

- I'll be...downstairs.

- Wait...

I'm afraid to be alone.

Aha.

Well...

that happens.

This one's from '87,

and this one's from '92.

The greatest lows of last century.

- Look at this potential voracity.

- What? -Potential voracity.

- Hey, I'm on vacation.

- Right.

But weather

is important even on vacation.

World history depends on it.

Imagine Constance in 115: what

if it had rained for those 20 days?

- What? -The Hussites

wouldn't have existed.

- I should be in Thailand right now.

- Aha.

- Ever been to Thailand?

- Sure, monsoons and stuff.

I actually haven't, but I'm going.

I feel really good with you.

Here I've got statistics for

temperature, pressure, and wind.

But our data doesn't always agree.

In 2003, you measured 10 degrees

at 1,000 meters, but it was only 7.

But I already...

wrote you.

- What's up?

- Nothing, you're snoring terribly.

- I've never snored in my life.

- Maybe, but you were snoring now.

So many things about me bug you:

my snoring, selling Happy Life...

- And that you can't have kids...

- I can have kids.

- How do you know?

- The doctor said I'm fine.

- So it's my problem, huh?

- You should see a doctor too.

Are you kidding?

Me, Patka, go to a doctor?

And because of that?

Are you nuts?

Goodnight.

Goodbye.

They destroyed my house,

they destroyed everything.

But they won't get me.

Their swindle won't succeed;

the war isn't over!

This might help you.

It solves every problem.

Scheisse!

- Here, go after him.

- Jesus... -Zuzana, clean this up!
