Loves of a Blonde Page #2

Synopsis: A factory manager in rural Czechoslovakia bargains with the army to send men to the area, to boost the morale of his young female workers, deprived of male company since the local boys have been conscripted. The army sends reservists, mostly married middle-aged men - and the local beauty Andula, spurns those bold enough to try to win her, for the jazz pianist, newly come from Prague to perform. He seduces her and impresses her, telling her "most women are round, like guitars but you are a guitar by Picasso". Staying the night with him causes a lecture on a young woman's honour at her hostel so she throws over her other suitors and makes her way to Prague to find the young man. His protective Mamma and weary Pappa are not pleased when she arrives on the doorstep with her suitcase.

Why?

Why?

Okay, then.

Sure, yeah.

Look, girls, they're pointing at us,

and the waiter too.

Let them point.

What do we care?

- So don't look.

- Look at them looking at us.

They can look where they like.

You know, they'll think we're...

You're looking too.

I'm not looking at them...

We're not staring

as stupidly as you.

Stop it.

Look, he's taking it

to their table.

- Why doesn't he bring it to us first?

- Sit down and stop staring.

Jesus, what an idiot.

- This is embarrassing, man.

- That half-wit.

- Really, girls, I'm so relieved--

- Me too.

I was worried they were going

to bring the bottle to us.

- I couldn't bear it.

- Don't even mention it, please.

Hey, don't look over there now.

Don't look there now!

- Let's get out of here, girls.

- Yeah, we should go.

Courage!

Let's go. Are we going?

- So let's go. Come on!

- I'm not going.

You're crazy.

We can't march over there

like a procession.

- So just the two of us?

- You two go.

Wait. What procession?

There's three of them and three of us.

Is that a procession?

Bring them over here.

Don't be crazy!

So you bring them over, okay?

Either the three of us go, or...

Why me alone?

So we'll all go, like I said.

- I'm not going.

- Now we look like bozos.

Come on.

- Where can we go around here?

- An afternoon dance.

Yeah, that's in the afternoon,

but when you don't want to sleep yet,

where do you go?

To the park or to the woods.

Finish it off, then.

Come on.

- My God, how you hold it!

- Drink up.

It's much worse

sipping it like that.

Bottoms up!

Have some more, Jana.

- I can't.

- Yes, you can. You've hardly had any.

This is good stuff we ordered.

Wine is good for you, girls.

After all, when

the vine's growing,

it draws nourishment

from the soil.

All that iron and humidity

from the air

and all that sun shining on it.

That's why it's so expensive.

Come on, have a drink.

All of it, like a man.

To the last drop.

See, you can do it.

There you go-- all of it.

It was good, wasn't it?

Now you, Marie.

Bottoms up!

I don't want anymore.

I don't like it.

You'll get used to it.

They didn't like it either.

I don't want it.

Shall we go for a walk?

Hey, what is this?

Keep playing.

It was fine.

Hey, you, come here. Yes, you.

Come here for a minute.

- Oh, God, this is pointless.

- Let's go, okay?

Let's just agree on something and go.

We'll drink the wine

and have some fun, huh?

If you're not interested,

we'll go back to the barracks.

We'll make it work, won't we?

Andula?

We can't stay here forever.

They're looking at us.

Are we going or not?

We'll be back in a minute, okay?

Where are you going?

We'll be right back.

I thought we could talk a bit more

and then the time will be right.

And then no problem.

We'll each will grab one and--

- I don't feel like going to the woods.

- They didn't really mean the woods.

People just say,

"Let's go to the woods."

In this weather?

They mean outdoors,

not in a room.

Did you think they'd let us

in their dormitory?

No way, unless we pretend to be

an army delegation.

There's no way to get in there.

Don't worry, you wouldn't be

the first to slip in there.

- Where're you going?

- I'm going to bed. There's nothing here.

- Don't be stupid, man.

- What's going on here?

Sit down and quit being an idiot.

Listen, can I ask you something?

Have you ever

cheated on your wife?

Why?

Not "why"--yes or no?

Is this a pub

or a confessional?

Come on, say it.

"I've been unfaithful" or "I haven't."

It's no big deal, right?

Well, that's different.

Come on, let's go home.

- Don't be an idiot again.

- I'm not. He is.

Sit down.

We still have this bottle.

Now he's an idiot, huh?

Go to hell and sit down, and...

just sit.

What a waste of money!

Give him ten crowns.

Just take the money.

I don't care about the money.

But I care that you sit here

and say nothing the whole time.

Take the money

and leave me alone.

Stop babbling now.

You should have spoken up before.

You two stare like idiots,

while I do all the talking

and now you tell me

these stupid things.

Gentlemen,

this is truly pointless.

- Where are you going?

- Home. You act like children.

You act like retarded teenagers.

- Let's go.

- This a waste of time.

Well, let's go.

You wanted to go. Come on.

We'll go, but not because of me.

- Good Lord.

- Because of whom, then?

- Who was the first to get up?

- A bunch of idiots, aren't we?

But still, they gave us the bottle.

Can't we just go and chat?

I'm not going. Those old geezers

will try to drag us to the woods.

- To the woods. Are you scared?

- Why would I be scared?

You must be

if you say it like that.

Gentlemen, another minute

and I'm gone.

- The girls probably left.

- Why would they?

- Because.

- Because why? Why would they leave?

Would they sit with us all evening

to run off now?

And how could they?

I kept an eye on the door.

- Go and take a look.

- Where?

Where they went.

- I can go and have a look?

- Why not?

- Why not?

- Why can't you go there?

You'd go to their dormitory

but you're scared to go there?

There's a difference

between a ladies room and a dormitory.

- So you go.

- I'll go, but we're wasting a bottle.

See, he can't forget the bottle.

Who do you think you are?

Look at us. A bunch of old farts.

We have to pay the price.

You only get it for free at home,

and in your case I doubt even that.

Really, do you want

to come up for a while?

I trust you.

I could make you tea or something.

Would you like that?

- I trust you but--

- But I don't trust you. See...

- Why?

- Don't tell me you're just chatting.

I mean it.

We're just chatting with them.

- You're not.

- We are too.

I'm going right now.

- Come up, just for a while.

- No.

Just to chat, I promise.

No. I have to go.

- Come up, just for a moment!

- No.

Wait. At least let me

read your palm, all right?

Gentlemen, what's going on?

Hey, look at this.

Drink up.

You too. All of it.

You're no better than the girls.

Drink up.

Take the bottle.

Off we go, gentlemen.

Don't drink it all.

You'll fall asleep in the woods.

Let's go.

Finally.

Where is Andula?

- Over there. She'll be here.

- Will she?

Where is she?

Where are you going?

What is it?

Boys, I'm off to bed.

Good night, girls.

Oh, come on.

Girls, what's this whispering?

Say it out loud.

- We're going too. Good night.

- Good night.

- Go, then.

- So let's go.

- Come on, then.

- Go, then. The both of you.

Come on. Please, come on.

This is the line of your--

This is your line. And here you see--

- What line?

- Your life line.

And here... I see danger.

I see three middle-aged men

in the woods.

It says here, three men

in the woods, in winter.

- You mean the three downstairs?

- I didn't say that.

Well, I'm not sure.

Sometime in the near future.

Damn it, but you have

a long life line!

Yes, it goes up here.

- And here you have a scar.

- That's nothing.
