has to have a perm.

Has to, has to, it's

a matter of choice, huh, Oskar?

How long have you been

divorced for?

Two years.

And do you ever think

about your wife?

Honestly.

Mmm, yes, I do.

Sometimes.

Often.

Sometimes very often.

Really? Me too.

-Often?

-Often.

But me, I sometimes...

No so much anymore.

Me too, sometimes.

A lot.

Hold on, Tereza.

-Wait, wait.

-Me sometimes...but not that often.

Wait, but...

Wait, but now

I almost don't at all.

Neither do I.

Roman?

Hi, Roman, -ah no-,

I was looking for Nora.

I'm here just because of them.

I haven't seen their father

in 25 years.

How did he die?

Old age.

Go have fun somewhere.

While you're still young.

Yes. I'm available.

Okay.

Ve Svahu 13.

Velvet night club.

I'm on my way.

Good evening, safe transport.

Come in.

Did anyone order safe transport?

Safe transport anyone?

Did anyone order safe transport?

Yes. But he went back to his room.

Will you wait?

Okay. Mineral water please.

And put it on his bill.

And a double Jameson.

Put that on his bill too.

Good evening.

Hi.

-Sima.

-Hi, Simona.

An old acquaintance.

You don't recognize me, do you?

I recognized you right away.

I was just thinking, your hair

is shorter and curlier.

And a darker shade, right?

-You really remember that?

-Of course I remember that.

It's impossible to forget

such beautiful hair.

Yeah, you're right.

Simona's hair is really beautiful.

And thick. Natural.

You really remember

I had straight hair?

Of course I remember.

You don't.

You were just guessing, right?

I remember, Simona.

And don't be so formal with me.

After what we've gone through

together...

We didn't go through that much.

You kicked me out of the room

a few times

when Ma Formnkov and I made

too much noise in the bleachers.

ButIdon't remember any big moment

except for a minus in PE.

Your teacher?

This is your teacher?

Ex.

Get in line!

The students of 8B

are ready for their PE class.

Seventeen present.

Four are absent.

Why are they absent? Huh?

What's going on?

-I'd like a cocktail, may I?

-Anything.

And a big Angel,

for this big re-union of ours.

Champagne?

Of course, champagne.

I'll have some too.

Simona loves chocolate.

So, bring two chocolates.

-And the teacher wants?

-Another double Jameson.

Write it all

on the gentleman's bill.

You wanna go sit

in those comfy armchairs?

Great idea.

Just go.

I'll bring it there for you.

You probably have a lot

to talk about with your teacher.

I didn't teach you girls, did I?

-Coincidence, eh?

-Yeah.

Thank you.

Look, whatever happens tonight,

let's promise each other one thing.

We'll tell the truth, okay?

It matters to me.

Look, if you want the truth,

then I have to tell you,

the cocktails are

really expensive here.

-So, to the gentleman.

-To the gentleman.

So, how did you get here?

Or... Where did you go

after elementary school?

Nursing school.

-You didn't finish?

-I did.

-Did you apply to university?

-From the nursing school?

So right after graduation

you came here.

Look...

What wasIlike as a teacher?

You care about the feelings

of a 15 year old girl?

What do you want to know?

About the feelings

of a 15 year old girl.

OK.

I was searching for the truth

with my head raised to the sky.

And tripped over a person

who was scared of it.

I was looking for a pill

for weakness. And found myself.

I thought you took yourself too

seriously. You were enthusiastic.

Do you remember what you used

to say about the human relay race?

Sure, of course.

The essence of a teacher

isn't only to teach

prepositions or oxides,

but to bass on the baton

in the human race.

I know it sounds pathetic, but

I kind of think the same even now.

You told us that a teacher stands

on the other side of the river

from his students.

On the side of maturity.

And that classes

are just a teacher's calling,

so that the students

can eventually join him.

Well...

It was my first year teaching.

A new broom.

You know whatImean.

A lot of the girls liked you.

ButIalways liked the older ones.

For example Malt.

He always kept his distance.

He didn't f*** with anything

that mattered.

Old teachers

are usually the coolest.

-An old barn burns well, huh?

-Yeah.

So? Will you just

stick with the drinks?

Or do you wanna go upstairs?

We'll see.

After graduation I worked in

a hospital for two and a half years.

Really?

Maybe you're expecting me to tell

you howIwould carry out bedpans

and how everything around me

was dying,

but by the time I left,

I was already completely used to it.

The truth is, professor,

I came here for the money.

Well, sure.

School evidently didn't manage

to offer me more noble values.

But sometimes there's not

such a difference.

I work at night here.

I did that there too.

There I had to take out

old men's piss,

and here, for a change,

they want me to pee on them.

-Am I shocking you, professor?

-No, I'm excited.

Great.

I also realized...

No, already knew before I arrived...

I was going to like it here.

Sometimes it's disgusting.

But most of the time I like it.

It's because, professor,

I like to do it.

That's great.

Nothing better than

when your work becomes your hobby.

That's Irina. A pussycat.

She's good.

-Should I call here for you?

-No.

It doesn't mean, just because

we're sitting here together,

that you have to feel

committed to me.

I've already made my choice.

Well, I hope we're not going

to have a moral hangover, professor.

With a student.

It's gonna be tough, huh?

But first you'll take

a bath, darling.

It would be a sin,

not to take a bath in this tub.

I'll turn it off.

What's wrong?

Something with Jakub?

Hi, am I disturbing?

MayIask a few questions?

-Ask away.

-Thanks.

Until a little while ago

a man who was completely unknown...

but is now having a love affair with

a legendary singer, a top artist,

who alas is a quarter

of a century older than him...

That's the guest of this evening's

show:
"1 5 minutes with a celebrity".

Celebrities

alias Czech pseudostars.

So, our listeners

would like to know,

what did your media success

take from you and give to you.

I'm much more apathetic.

As far as emotion is concerned,

I'm kind of handicapped.

Maybe I didn't catch you

in the best of moods,

so maybe it would be better

ifIcalled another time.

No, it's okay. Let's do it now.

Okay.

What about other losses?

The loss of privacy, of course.

You know. Anytime anyone can

call you from some radio station,

they want you to tell them

what's wrong with your life...

or anybody can take a picture

of you with their phone

on the street or at a gas station.

So even success

with women doesn't help?

Look... Is someone

writing you those questions?

Can't you ask something

you really want to know?

What about marriage?

I was your wife for 7 years,

remember?

Yes, I remember you, Zuzana,

very well indeed.

The problem lies elsewhere.

I read somewhere, that
