- What's it guzzle?|- About twenty litres. Roughly.
Cheap to run. Good car.
Does it run on gas or diesel?
Depends on what|you teach it to use.
Not bad, eh?
I can give you a good price.|What's your offer?
We haven't got much.
How much?
Eight.
- Eight what?|- Thousand.
Eight thousand crowns?
Let's look there, then.
Take a good look at this one.|It's a Pontiac.
This is what the one over|there could look like.
When you put it together.
Eight thousand crowns. A '93|model, ABS, air conditioning.
- Where's the engine?|- In the shed.
But it's registered|and has number plates.
But we want to drive it tomorrow.
Well guys, you should have|put more away. Sorry.
We've f***ed!
Is there anything here that|we could drive away?
This Kadet's not too bad.
They can all run. Back there we've|engines, wheels... no problem.
- But we want to hit the road now.|- Let's take a look over there.
- But none of them are registered.|- Let me worry about the papers.
Plates too.|I like you guys, you go far.
I'm going to give you choice.|French plates.
Just say "Bonjour ". Works a treat|to the cops if they stop you...
They're stupid.|They'll let you go.
German doesn't work anymore.|"Guten Tag " they know...
- So, French plates are better.|- I won't be driving it...
Doesn't matter who's driving.|It's just a better cover.
- So how much?|- How much d'you have?
- Eight thousand.|- Eight?
You're kidding me. I should chuck|this in and do charity work.
So it's a deal?
THE RIDE:
/We'll find a place
/where the smoking's good.
/Where the hot sun
/doesn't sting the drinks.
/Where the wind spreads|/bits of bird sh*t
/all around us and says
/We've got to try|/what tastes the best
/and calmly wait|/till someone comes.
/Someone who knows|/that we're sitting here,
/and who will say "hi, boys".
/I've got one long arm.
/One long arm for you.
/Come sit with us
/we'll listen to you.
/We'll think on what
/we've got to do.
/Give us your hand
/and you'll relax...
/on that spot|/where one feels blue.
Bonjourrr...
The main roads are|for cops and criminals.
The side roads are for us.
Haven't we been here before?
The Prague Health Dept.|issued a warning...
...about the poor quality|of water in swimming pools.
This is due|to people peeing in the water.
And, quote:
"Everyone's peeing ",|say City health officials.It says that a shrew
is around one and a half times|the length of a credit card.
That's a progress.
We used to use match boxes
to compare the scale of things.
God for instance.
Let's check this scale.
- So what's the verdict?|- God is great!
Let's plug ourselves|into the world.
A Roumanian girl would be ideal.
- What for?|- We could share her both.
- They're good, eh?|- No, but if she didn't like it,
she couldn't complain,|nobody would understand her.
And we could say that we|thought she wanted to, right?
Or a Hungarian. For sure.
- Aren't they all ugly?|- We can't be too choosy.
Or we can pick up a real|beauty, have her in the woods...
But then we'd have to bury her.
We got a shovel.
A tropical heat wave has|paralyzed traffic in the capital.
Traffic on most major routes|is gridlocked and not moving.
Seems as if it never will.
Good afternoon.
- C'mon. We'll give you a ride.|- Oh no, boys, it's not worth it.
- I live here in this village.|- C'mon. Here.
- Your rake...|- See, with my rake.
Such a nice car.|I'll only scratch it up.
You'll sit up front...
- Here we go.|- Where are coming from?
Oh, the fields.|Working, you know. Raking hay.
- You still rake hay?|- Sure.
- And where do you come from?|- We're from Prague.
I hope you find some nice|ladies and enjoy your holiday.
- Stop right here, by this lady.|- Here?
I told you, it's not worth it...
Now can I have my rake.|Thank you.
Where were you...|... that you needed a lift.
They were just nice boys...|from Prague.
Even then we only gave|her a short lift.
It was still a good deed!
If we hadn't taken her,|we'd be three miles further.
But it's not true.|It's impossible.
So we're actually three miles|behind, you see...
So, whatever happens from now on|wasn't meant to be.
A magic moment.|What's up? Where you going?
The reward for our good deed.
Hi. Want a ride?
What are you doing here?|C'mon. Get in.
You'll die here.|Ants will eat you alive.
- What were you doing there?|- Nothing.
So what were you leaving behind?
Panties.
Where to?
Doesn't matter.|I'll get off somewhere.
- We can take you home...|- No.
I'd like a drink.
Can be arranged.
What's he doing?
Arshole.
- Do you speak English?|- Czech.
You didn't see a redhead|somewhere around here?
- No.|- No, we haven't.
What do you want to drink, then?
Gin.
No ice. And tonic.
- There's no gin.|- Doesn't matter.
What?
She says it doesn't matter.
What?
- It doesn't matter.|- Fernet, then.
- So what does she want?|- Fernet.
What's this place called?
Where are you going?
South.
The sea?
The car hasn't any papers,|so it can't cross the border.
So what do you do|when you get to the border?
We'll go either east or west.
- Going through Pelhrimov?|- No.
But we can take you there|if you want.
What I really want is a drink.
Who was that in the car?
A guy.
Did he do something to you?
No.
What did she say?
Nothing.|I think she's a bit wacky.
Well then work on her.|She could...
Did you notice that she hasn't|put those panties on yet?
That means that under that skirt,|she's actually, you know...
I guess so. And probably|doesn't even know it.
You think she's, like,|nuts or something?
I don't know.
Well, no point in us|fighting over her.
Look, she's put them back.
So she's not totally nuts.
So we won't get to see|her little p*ssy after all.
Hey look. A mirage.
That's where I'd like to go.|Just disappear.
It's the heat.|We say the air is sweating.
- Have you got any money?|- Money?
Why do you want to know?|Do you?
I don't have any. So you'll|have to look after me now.
Aha...?
That's why I'd like to know|if you have any money.
Why? Do you want it or what?
- No...|- So I don't get it.
Well, if I want something...
And do you want anything?
I'd like an ice-cream. A Magnum.
D'you want to sit up front?
C'mon.
So will you tell me your name?
Why? Does it matter? I'll be|getting off soon anyway.
Where are you getting out?|In Nepomuk?
So why don't you come with us|to Susice at least, eh?
- What do you think you're doing?|- I should be asking you that.
Our contract states that this|fridge is property of Algida.
You can't put other stuff|in here. Pragolaktos, Scholler.
I'm surprised you don't keep|chicken and spinach in here too.
So it's Annie?
I'm Radek. Hi.
- Cute little knuckles.|- Don't say that.
Why not? I want to...
It's just talk. Isn't it?
I don't have another freezer.
Freezers should be provided by|those companies that supply you.
I am hereby disconnecting|and sealing ours.
So what should I say|to make you stay with us?
