This is the surplus plan!

Anna is looking for you

Do you hear me, Ludvik?

I'm looking for Anna

You could wash the dishes

some time

I may, some time.

Put the meat on the floor

I'll break his legs

Where are you?

What are you doing here?

I'm running a bath.

The tank is full of hot water

They must have only switched it off

a little while ago

What are you doing

with those boxes?

Where did we put all my papers?

Those black books

with my notes in?

What do you need your notes for?

I kept notes when I was working

at the secretariat

I once read it to you in bed, remember?

That's practically all you do to me in bed.

How could I remember?

It's been nothing but brickworks

for the past six months

I know all the brickworks

in the country

There'll be no reading tonight.

Put theory into practice!

At least once a week,

even if it's bleak!

- Give me the torch

- Don't step on the custard!

How come the phone isn't working?

It should be working

even with the power cut

If a government phone won't work,

what will?

Who on earth are you phoning

at this time of night?

You shouldn't care who I ring anyway

For Christ's sake, stop sighing.

It really gets on my nerves!

No need to sigh because of me!

I'm phoning for a man,

if you want to know!

Well, I don't

Didn't we put it all in my suitcase?

The old one I used to have

at Technical College in Brno

- I threw it away ages ago

- Just like you

But there was nothing in it.

I've never lost anything of yours

All you've ever lost,

you've lost by yourself

With me,

you only lost your virginity

Towels are for hands, not dishes!

I'll write it on the wall for you

Do you want something to eat?

Where did you put those things

from the case?

All I remember is what happened

today ten years ago

What happened?

See, something you don't remember!

Actually, I tried to phone Klepac's wife

They must have people round.

All the lights are on

I brought her some stuff

from the government shop

She'd already paid for it

Smoked salmon and four boxes

of cheese. They love cheese

The manager asked me

to take them for her

so he wouldn't have to deliver

it specially

Maybe she came to get it

while we were out

They might have been

at the reception

Maybe in the special lounge

reserved for the President

Tondl's wife said Klepac

was going to be a minister

Why did you close it?

What did I say this time?

Did I say anything wrong?

- Don't shout

- I can hardly hear myself talking

At least tell me

what I can talk about

When can I talk normally?

You said the kitchen, the bathroom

and the bog were OK

What about the President

becoming a granddad?

Is that classified information too?

Can the Ear hear that?

Listen, Ear:
Comrade President

is a granddad

It's a boy. Everything's fine

The mother, unfortunately,

hasn't got enough milk

Come here

Sit down

Sit down

I've got to tell you something

Another little chat,

what about this time?

Didn't you get enough chance

at the party?

I don't want to hear

about government mistakes now

And I don't want you

reading to me today

What the hell was in that glass?

Must have been the stuff

I rub on my ankles

Ten years ago,

it was also the 17th of July

- Is it the 17th already?

- Every year, there's a 17th of July

Every year it is only me

who remembers

Too bad

But the phone was working earlier

Jindrich phoned

to say he'd be a bit late

It was working.

Cepicka phoned me

she wanted to know if the house

is warm enough in winter

Markus told her that we were moving

What an idiot

The cabinet housing official

is an idiot!

Do you have to keep up

with your daily ranting?

As long as you don't.

Undo this, will you?

That tickles

Comrades, we're going to bed

- Hi, Bedrich

- You're here?

Why wouldn't I be?

I thought that...

since so many people have gone away,

I thought you...

But I phoned you this morning

about that report

Yes, so you did

sorry, I've had so much on recently

I'm looking for Marie.

Have you seen her?

Aren't you getting undressed?

Just in time,

we would have been flooded

Aren't you coming?

In a minute

Ludvik, my old mate

I'm only friendly with those

who they're after

Number 117

- This is not my car

- It is, comrade deputy

This isn't Jindrich.

You're not Jindrich, are you?

- We live in Bulharska street

- I know where to go

- Are you sick?

- A bit

- Is it your stomach?

- Yeah

- Shall I make you some coffee?

- No, thanks

Did Jindrich say anything

about not coming to get us?

No. Who was it that took us home?

He drove us all round Prague

Didn't you tell him where we live?

Make me some coffee

You didn't eat

any of those prawn sandwiches?

No, I didn't

We get this every anniversary

Get a move on.

You do take your time

Comrades, let us build up

the people's politics from granite

To throw ourselves into our work

will not be an easy task

silence,

the comrade is speaking!

I sometimes wonder

if I understand anything

Why not admit it?

But will the revolution wait?

That way we couldn't knock

the imperialism down

so I'll make a decision

and it will be good

It wasn't that painful either

Right now I could just rush back

to the factory

on sundays,

it would be beer and football

But we cannot afford to rest, comrades

It is our mission to topple the world.

But not upside down

That's just what the capitalists

have done

Hear, hear

He's 60, isn't he? But still going strong!

But don't think it's clear to everyone

They are still among us, those who

only call themselves comrades

Kosara, Tondl, Klepac, Slesinger...

Kosara doesn't want

to close the old brickworks...

...and transfer the workers

where they're needed...

...saying that it might

cause an imbalance

No, Mr Kosara!

An imbalance would occur

if we let you...

...and the likes of you

attack the Party's principles!

Do you want some scissors?

Here's your coffee.

Your bath is getting cold

Look out of the window.

Is that car still there?

- What car?

- The Party one

The Party one?

Well?

It's the same one

that was there before

They moved it away

from the street lamp

Are they in the car

or standing in the street?

Why would they be standing

in the street?

- What are you tearing up?

- Where's the plunger?

There used to be a plunger here

You've blocked the toilet! You're not

going to unblock it, are you?

Don't shout into their ears!

Do you have to clear out

your case right now?

- Why are you tearing that up?

- Keep quiet!

Isn't someone banging on the gate?

Who would be doing that?

Put something on.

Don't run about naked!

Why should I get dressed?

I've just got undressed

since when has it bothered you? Tell me

You wouldn't mind Konvickova

running around naked!

And now both!

So what do you say

to that about Kosara?

I just don't know

But you prepared that report for him,

didn't you?

Kosara wanted to be in charge

of everything

He kept people at a distance

I... We only got him the figures
