Burry me

At the Oujezd graveyard

There lies and shall lie

Everyone from us

There lies and shall lie...

One more, sir director?

- No, I'll pay.

- Eight korunas.

- I'm not saying now

- Thanks.

I'm not saying in a month

I'm not saying in ten

neither in twenty years

- You're not Victor?

- Do you know me?

I'm Vojta.

Vojta...

I see.

You can't remember me,

it's been a long time.

What about Terina?

I see...

It's you!

I haven't seen you, man,

since that time.

- What do you do anyway?

- I teach.

- But it's only my first year here.

- I see.

- Where is she?

- Whom?

Well... Terina.

Come!

Let's go to her.

[bells ringing]

Shhhh!

- So that my wife... understand?

- Don't wake up her for me.

Well, I won't.

Where are we going?

[a harvester noise]

Get down!

- Who is it?

- We want the key! What for?

Come, don't be nuts.

Sleep, wife, they're drunken.

Mind your own business!

- We want to see Terezia Landova!

- Come in the morning!

- We'll be long gone then.

- I see, you are the...

Yes, the comedians.

Don't you remember?

- Yes, I've got it all written in the book...

- Well.

I've lent her dad clothes

for the burial.

But she's not lying here

for two years now.

Someone else bought the place.

- And they've made a proper

grave from it. - How come?

- Did she die?

- Where did you put her?

Her? What's left of her?

Come, we'll go there!

[music playing]

What's left of her?

Well.

[fair music playing]

Boys and girls,

it's flying here, it's buzzing!

Up, please,

on to our creature!

Who likes laughing, come with us!

Don't hesitate,

sit on the marry-go-round!

Every traveller fasten your

seat belts, so that he's not going to eject.

We'll go there and back,

we'll be back in two feasts!

We'll go to America,

for plum dumplings!

We're waiting on Minjapur!

We're waiting just for you!

You're late tonight.

Don't you want a ride?

Why not.

[street organ playing]

You're late tonight.

Don't you want a ride?

[laugh] You're a piece of man.

- On the lawn, Tonka?

- On the nettles.

- Don't be nuts.

- [laugh]

Home, we've got to go home.

Right away, daddy.

He didn't wake up.

Don't move away from him!

Go for a lunch to your aunt.

I know.

Are you reading or learning?

- Hm, I'm learning.

- Don't hm me!

Do you know how much does it cost?

- There are holidays.

- I know.

I've been looking

for you twice in Prague.

At school.

And I've never found you,

it's getting weird.

What are you talking about?

I'll be back on saturday,

we'll speak then.

[distant female voices]

- Good morning, Marenka.

- Good morning.

- How did you sleep?

- Good.

Where were you, girls?

- Shall we go home, mr. Berka?

- Yeah, we're going.

Won't I be cold?

No.

Here's your scarf.

I'm only affraid of a flood.

Don't be, there won't be any.

Show me your leg.

Won't you leave me

somewhere?

The other one...

Shall we go home?

You know that we will.

[clocks beating]

I don't want it for free, mr. Berka,

I've got something on an account book.

But I don't have it with myself,

I've got it at home.

I'll wait with it.

Get up, I'll put your coat on.

You're so nice, I've always

returned money to everyone.

I know that.

A second sleeve.

Home.

Home.

Maybe we won't need a boatman.

The river could freeze up.

We'll see about that.

It's been freezing all night.

I couldn't sleep from the cold.

A coat and a stick!

So, we can go.

I'm so glad we're going home.

Mr. Berka, are you taking me home?

I am.

God praise the morning,

madame head forester.

- Good morning.

- How did you sleep?

Good.

- Where are you going, goodman?

- Home, home.

You're younger and younger,

madame head forester.

Hw do you do that?

It's only seeming, goodman,

I'm a dead woman by now.

C'mon! See,

you're still so beautiful.

[laugh]

[laugh]

How can we cross the river?

You'll sit

and I'll get the boatman.

And won't it take long?

I have to go home.

Tonka:
Aaaa... [laugh]

Aaa...

[Tonka's hallooing and laughing]

[Tonka's hallooing and laughing]

Gross!

You s-ku-nk!

[Tonka's hallooing and laughing]

Come, I'll give you a shepperd!

Come then! Come!

I've got you!

[bugs buzzing]

[water buzzing]

Help me, mr. Berka!

Help me!

Alright, I'm coming!

Our raft is gone!

What raft?

Next will come.

Wait, it'll be here any moment.

Vojta, bring me clothes!

- Go and get them!

- I won't go naked in front of him!

He doesn't know

what's happening around him!

[fair music]

Load by yourself.

[fair music]

[bugle playing]

[Terina's laughing]

It'll wrench off!

[bugle playing]

[music playing]

[bell ringing]

Terina!

Will you come?

Don't amuse yourself and do something.

Put Liduska to the bed!

Father:
Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Our marry-go-round calls you, 'kay?

We call your attention,

that our merry-go-round provides

prolonged romantic rides

for everyone of you.

And that's why up, up,

on to our beauty!

I'm from Dejvice

and I will ride you the most-ice!

That lady is from Michle

and she'll ride you as well as quick-le.

Don't hesitate then,

and get on our merry-go-round, men!

Who will try it with us,

it'll give him creeps thus!

I've been missing you all day.

You don't have a girl?

[Tonka's laugh]

No.

What to do with such a boy...

No.

[a bugle playing]

We have to say goodbye

to each other.

[a bugle playing]

I like you very much too.

[a bugle playing]

[laugh]

- I'll be gone immediately.

- Wait a moment at least.

No, I'v got to go,

they'd look for me.

- I've only come to say goodbye.

- We can always do that.

When are you going off?

Tomorrow or day after that.

Shall we see each other then?

Tomorrow and after that in a year.

When we'll come.

If you'll be at home on holiday.

How come, in a year?

That's not possible.

That's not possible.

No, please, wait.

Let's stay like this.

- Don't worry about the lunch, granma,

I'll be eating at the farmer. - Yeah.

Vojta!

I'll be waiting for you

for the second time.

- You don't have to.

- You're a fool!

Look, I'll be there earlier today.

- I thought it's yours.

- [laugh] Well, a sister.

You do like me the most, don't you?

- I still see you with her.

- She wouldn't go to bed without me.

Show yourself...

She should be here by now.

- There she goes.

- I see.

You've slept well, you look very good,

mrs. head forester.

He's after stroke,

he walks only in limbus.

He still sees his old friends

who are dead.

We have to say goodbye to each other,

we're going tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Why?

Well, it's dead here.

We'll never see

each other again?

Don't die on me.

Me?

Nice hands.

What's nice about them?

Five fingers, like everyone else's.

Could you come this evening?

I don't know yet.

Rufle the mister. [laugh]

I have to see you,
