He gave you the job

because the secretariat pressed him to

God knows who else pressed him

on your behalf

Kosara was a little afraid of you,

wasn't he?

It must have taken you

a long time to think all this up

Did you think all this up on your own?

Klepac didn't like you, either.

He was clever. He wrote books

Why have they never invited us over?

Why, I wonder

Klepac was also afraid of you

Good night

Do you know

why they are all afraid of you?

You leave a trail of corpses behind you.

All you care about is yourself

You don't even care

about your own brother!

You didn't even tell personnel you had

a brother because he was in England

Help, he's beating me again!

Comrades, help me!

Do you want me to hit you?

Remember how you danced

for President Benes?

All the way from the station to the hotel!

And just for a change,

you sang for Gottwald as well

You sang all night

until your voice was hoarse

You would join any movement,

of the right or left...

...just to scrape your way to the top!

That's right. Just slap me.

You're good at that!

You get drunk and start rambling on

I know what I'm rambling about.

It suits you that I drink

Haven't you got a hanky?

You're counting on me

drinking myself to death

one day you'll dump me in a loony bin

That's what comrades do, don't they?

Even comrade stalin

Cut out this lunacy!

But it's me who always

gets your brother out of trouble

Who got him out of that jam?

He'd still be doing a nice long sentence!

So he would. But you wouldn't

be doing what you're doing now

stop pretending

that you're doing people favours

You're not putting me under cold water.

I'll have a cold for ten days!

Do you want to go on bleeding all night?

Remember how the bed

looked last time?

- Bend down. If you don't, it will hurt

- Bastard!

Is that how a teacher talks?

The school threw you out after two days

Take a look at yourself

This is how I look

after ten years with you!

- So why did you marry such a bastard?

- You'll never understand

But I'll tell you why you married me.

Let me go!

- Only if you bend down

- I'll be all wet!

Bend down or I'll break your arm

Why didn't you marry Jitka?

You had such a crush on that virgin!

Why did you marry me?

I'd slept with a whole football team!

You knew that!

Remember when I slept with you?

When Jirka stood me up!

Shut up!

My father owned a house with a pub

He told everyone

what dowry I'd get

- To marry off his little whore!

- Shut up!

It's cold!

You bastard!

You sh*t!

To save your career,

you didn't even break Jitka in!

You wanted my money

to set up a building firm!

You didn't tell them

you owned the firm!

- Please, stop!

- Only when you sober up!

- I'll drown you!

- You'd never do it

You didn't even manage

to keep the firm going

Luckily, the coup of '48

brought you into politics

Unlike many others,

you're a failure at it!

It's a good thing you're competent!

Using the car for shopping,

the hairdresser's

They all know you sent

the driver out for blueberries!

I'll look really shitty now!

Bend your head back!

Not with the one

you rub your feet with!

Remember Victor?

The driver with the curly hair?

Go to bed. Do you know what time it is?

When you went to Moscow

with that delegation...

...for 20 days

I taught him the kiss of life

Do you know where we started?

In the car in front of our house

Now I know where all the money went

It must have cost you a fortune

- Why all the sudden interest?

- Go to bed

I'll sleep in the bedroom

You don't have to do me any favours.

I'm not asking you for anything

- Are you sleeping in the cellar?

- Because of you?

You're washing up now?

Look, the birds are already up outside

Up yours! Go to bed!

Don't worry about little Annie

Annie's not going to give you

your little pleasures

she's going to give you a hard time

Look what I found

What is it?

The Ear!

They wouldn't put it

where we'd easily find it

They'd know we'd find out!

What did we talk about

in the kitchen?

We talked about everything

in the kitchen

How long do you think

it's been there?

It couldn't have been that long

It really stinks in here.

Can't you open a window?

There's one there as well

The old one's gone!

Tondl's wife said that when

they want to listen...

...a green van has to be parked nearby

It looks like a little postal van

It has a special aerial

It looks like a kind of...

Where can we talk?

Now, nowhere

Let's go out on the balcony

Why do you always lock the boy in?

If anything happened,

he wouldn't be able to get out

so he can't run riot

about the house

so he couldn't have got out

of his room last night

They put them there last night

They were here before

we came back

We came back too early.

Do you remember that policeman?

Weren't you enjoying yourselves?

Number 117

- That's not my car

- It is, comrade deputy

I wanted to ask you something

You've still got a little time

to smarten up

Am I some kind of chorus girl?

I've got a comb

and the comrade will lend me a mirror

I've still got a few hairs left,

so I needn't worry

Are you afraid

the lens is going to crack?

I wanted to ask you something.

I haven't spoken to you yet, have I?

No

Well, we can't change

anything anyway

They didn't come for booze.

They came to finish off the job

They took the case away earlier

It was definitely in the cellar

Can't you write what you want?

Or read what you want?

You can do what you want

As long as they don't hold something

against you

something!

But that standa's your pal

from the army, isn't he?

When were we last in the army?

Years ago!

But tell me why?

Now they know everything

about me

Half wouldn't be enough

They did a sloppy job on purpose

We would have found them

in the morning anyway

No way will they wait till morning

Now when they can't hear us

they'll come rushing over!

Have you got a bottle

tucked away somewhere?

Little Annie?

You've always got a bottle somewhere,

haven't you?

I've got a bottle somewhere too

Wait here

Are you there?

Open the door!

Don't do it!

If you do it I'll do it too!

What did you want to do?

You couldn't have done it!

You couldn't do this to us!

You can't!

Where's your gun?

Give it to me

Give me the gun

You have to give it to me

They took it away

When they want to

they'll do it themselves

I won't let you go!

I'm staying with you

They can lock me up too!

What are we?

Still human beings?

What do you want from us?

What do you want, Ear?

Do you want us to kill ourselves?

Shall we kill ourselves?

Even you, Ear,

can't listen in the toilet!

Nor in the bathroom!

Nor the kitchen, do you hear?

Even functionaries can speak

in the kitchen and WC!

I threw your bugs in the loo!

I hope you send the plumbers

round at last!

It's the bog downstairs!

We already reported it three times!

And a good day to you!

Come on, let him sleep

No need to wake him up yet

What did his teacher say about him?
