and we've been married
for twenty years.
We have 1000 forints saved up,
and we want to buy a house
in a suburb.
There in the little garden
you could raise ducks and geese.
Oh, you!
Isn't this better
than going to the circus?
Of course it is, you scoundrel!
Good day!
My! I didn't recognize you, sir!
It's been a long time!
I had a friend here, called Valentin.
Do you know him? - Yes.
You want to do
business with him?
You've improved in your old age!
When we last saw you,
you did nothing,
except wasting your time.
We'll send the lad
to fetch Valentin, if you like.
I'd like to see you
on New Year's Eve
because I'm superstitious.
My darling,
my love, my betrothed.
Lord, please let me sleep,
and give me peaceful night!
Spare me from the
prattle of women.
Help me to forget
the strange look in their eyes,
Lord,
protect me from them.
Marry me, please!
It is the fate of the stars
to fall to earth for each other.
Who'll listen next year
to the tale of the tinker
eaten by wolves?
Remember when you took
on my sins at confession,
because you had
no sins to confess?
Yes, but you had to pay
a kreutzer for each sin.
Now I'm asking you
to do it again,
take on my sins, Valentin!
Tell me what I must take on.
I've cheated,
I've stolen, I've lied, I've swore,
I haven't observed the fasts,
I haven't been to church.
I've committed everything,
except murder.
And adultery?
Yes, that too.
I wanted to seduce
the mistress of a friend.
Maybe I did seduce her.
And I bought her an apron
with stolen money.
What'll you pay me
if I undertake all this?
What can I give you, who've saved
my life so many times?
Are you any good at exorcism?
Of course.
You'll pay me by exorcising
the devil from my wife.
Marika?
Yes, I married Marika.
We lived peacefully for 20 years.
A few months ago, I have a new lad
my workshop.
Ever since, Marika's
been quite wild!
You know her.
Drive the devil out of her!
I won't let you corrupt
this good man!
This is Marika.
By May, I'll be
a sumach tree or a dockleaf.
Life was worth living
when one could
enter gardens secretly at night,
knock at windows,
say sweet words
to waiting women.
When one could burn,
wilt
and laugh happily.
Someone's approaching the house.
Someone's thoughts are here.
Euphrosina!
Where've you come from?
Why can't you find peace
in the other world?
I wanted to see you once more.
I daren't even dream.
My life
is full of sadness.
I have to get married, Sindbad.
I've become mistletoe.
and was soon sitting with the
goldsmith's wife.
I could have been the comb.
Fanny!
I am very sad.
Everyone's deserted me.
My lovers are dead,
or have grown old.
Do you remember
when we met here?
I thought I'd die of excitement.
my first rendez-vous.
It was wonderful,
I was the happiest woman in Buda.
Thank you for corrupting me.
At least I have lived.
I cannot live.
Leave me alone
with your nonsense, Sindbad!
Would you show me
the locket you are wearing?
It belonged to my mother.
To my late mother.
I'm asking you
because your mother
was a good friend of mine,
a very long time ago.
It's my father's picture.
From the time he was in the army.
Are you married yet?
Yes. And I've two
lovely children.
Paula!
Good gracious!
Weren't you expecting me?
I did once, last week,
or last night.
But I've foolish dreams.
How come you're here?
I wanted to know how you were.
Remember?
and the captain
was in love with you.
Not in vain, I hope.
Please! I never saw him again.
I was yours then.
I loved you very much.
How easily you say it.
Isn't my being here enough?
I came as
I wanted to kiss your hand.
Do turn around!
You haven't changed a bit.
There's no one to care for me.
Though I'm occasionally ill.
Foolish boy!
You snake,
you lying snake.
How many times you've forgotten me
since then!
I've a marvellous plan
for the afternoon.
Take me home!
I live quite near.
I always look for sober people
and I only found drunkards.
They say you've no profession.
What do you live on?
I regret that the loiterers are
now extinct.
I like to wonder around
without money.
I do a bit of writing.
The actors say,
you live on thin air.
Their only measure
is the fees they get.
So you're not an adventurer!
What a pity!
Sindbad, help me!
There's no softer bed
than the snow.
Life, life,
how good it feels
to come back into you.
What's your name, my friend?
Vendelin,
at your humble service, sir.
- Are you married?
- I was, sir.
- Did she die?
- Something else happened.
Though I'm not very
fond of carrots...
May I bring
the marrow-bone, sir?
Dear Vendelin, I must warn you
to bring toasted bread with it,
not buns, for they are unsuitable
for this sort of things.
And make it as hot as
my darling's heart!
Now you can bring the beer,
but in a beerglass!
The barman can keep the froth.
The innkeeper
must be a rich man.
He's generous with the froth.
Now tell me,
what happened to your wife?
She left me, sir.
I worked in the Casino
as a young waiter.
At that time, Mr. Szemere
and Mr. Uhtritz were my clients.
The jockeys used to wait outside,
the trainers sat in the corridor.
Betting went on
late into the night.
And we waiters
were friends with the jockeys.
I could rarely go to the races
but I knew every horse.
Of course, I never won.
What roast meat do you have?
You have roast duck, but I eat
enough of that at home.
Yes, duck with red cabbage.
You know, Vendelin,
I prefer game for lunch.
In the old Lippert restaurant
you could have the best game dishes.
Old Lippert himself liked hunting
he was trainer in the rifle-club.
So I always went to his place
to have hare.
Pheasant stuffed with chestnut...
Are they Italian chestnuts
or Hungarian ones?
Just chestnusts.
Well, if the bird's all right,
I'll have it!
Why do women
scrape carrots so furiously?
Here's the pheasant
with smashed potatoes and pickles.
Where are the different
types of mustards?
I like hot, home-made mustard
but English mustard
is my favourite.
One day, the Baron
Wiener-Waldau said to me:
Venedline:
I want to make you a lucky man.
Bet on Duke
Festetich's horse, Patience,
every time she runs.
Patience... it sounds familiar.
And if you'd only know her, sir!
I nearly forgot!
I'd like some tender beef.
Tell me, have you a piece of beef
on or off the bone?
I don't mind having sirloin,
though I prefer rump.
What I'd like best is a cut of meat
that is called "Tafelspitz".
That's what I'd like to eat.
With tomato sauce and spring onions.
Innkeepers with any self-respect
