// THE TANK BATTALLION \\

Well, great effort, fellas!

You don't value the fact

you're only playing at being soldiers!

Just wait when there's a war!

You'll then remember how hard it was to dig a trench!

If there is a war, we'll all shit our pants!

Why not, when the life expectancy

of a tank crew in battle's 4 minutes.

But hopefully there'll be no war..

Maybe yes, maybe no...Well, I'm getting discharged anyhow...

Ruzicka!

Continue your inspection of preparedness for battle!

Will do!

- Malina! -- Here!

And you, Pinkas..get the report ready

about the exemplary carrying out of our task!

-Hospodin!

And get them all on the run, will you!

I'm going to bed now.

I've had night shift twice this week.

And today this happens...

Hey!

Wake me at 5.

Will do, comrade Captain!

-Holeny!

-Go help corporal Smiricky!

There's only four of them there; the fifth one has gonorrhea.

-On the run!

-Holeny!

You'll wake me at 4.15, understand?

Off you go!

-Comrade Corporal!

Hospodin sends me to help you with the ditch, but..

-Does he think that we'll break our necks here?

Well, Danny?

Exemplary ditch, huh?

Sure...

I knew it's been here for years

I've conquered the

Okrouhlice Hill at least 500 times!

I won't give him a reason to nag me!

I should quickly get a photo taken

at the Okrouhlice photographer.

The photographer has

his own tank hat for us to wear.

Lizetka may like a photo like that.

She'd find it funny I think.

...As always...

Lizetka!....

Milan, leave me alone!

Lizetka...

Let me stay here...

No, you'll want to touch me and I don't want that!

I won't touch you, really...

I promise not to touch you!

It annoys me!

Lizetka, you bitch; so distant!

What; is it something?

It's always the same with anyone, no?

You can do it with any girl, can't you?

It's about the "soul", isn't it?

You said that yourself.

What if I kill myself?

You? - For sure!

Well, Danny...

Sorry, Lizetka...I...can't help it...

When I touch you, it's like an order...

Stop!

Get up!

What are you doing, comrade Captain?

I'm making sure

that the unit is in a state of full alert!

And what about shoes?

Yes - shoes!

Standard military shoes!

What do you think you're doing?

This is how you're training your soldiers?

Are you aware that training in peace times

is your essential task

so as to protect your fatherland?

You will report to the division chief!

-Comrade Major.. - Quiet!

Be ashamed of yourself!

Will do!

Off you go!

If this was war time you'd be court marshalled!

Yes, comrade Major!

What do you think you're doing?

This is how your idea of a battle simulation?

Up!

Where's the Squadron Leader?

Where's the artillery support?

You're hiding here like two faggots!

Get up!

Up!

Little Devil's here!

What's going on?

Josef - do you have radio contact?

-What?

-Radio contact...

-Ahh...whatever...

it's always fucked up in some way or another...

-If your radio doesn't work

I can't navigate you past the boss.

-Fuck it all!

Little Devil

The brass have got themselves in trouble.

The tank leader - come here!

Comrade Major, here at your order.

Corporal Soudek.

What does that mean, Soudek?

-Back!

Comrade Soudek!

Is this how you exit a tank?

What's that?

Move it, move it!

Get up, move!

Where are you going?

I've never seen anything like it!

That's how you exit a tank?

Comrade Major, here at your order.

Corporal Soudek.

That's awful, Soudek - back!

Change over!

Who taught you this?

Who, Soudek, who?

Move it Soudek!

Swift like a weasel!

Soudek, how did you disguise your vehicle?

Is that what you've been taught?

Changeover!

-The bastards!

-Where are we living?

Oh my god, what's happening?

Is this what we've worked for?

We're bastards!

Just wait when it's all fallen over...

I'll hang any communist that I can lay my hands on.

And I know who they are!

Because I look after issuing membership stamps

in our organization!

Nobody will be able to hide from me!

The tank leader - come here!

So where are you?

Comrade Major - at your service!

Corporal Smiricky.

So this, comrades, is how a buried tank should look!

This is the first vehicle, comrade Captain.

I'm awarding you an oral praise, comrade!

Your trench can serve as an example

to the other trenches...ehm..comrades!

I serve the people!

Off you go.

What a laugh...

You have excelled! ..to drive into an old trench!

If this was at the front, I'd have you shot on the spot!

First you'd shit your pants!...

-do you have radio contact?

-Doesn't work.

-It does work!

Admit up front that you don't know how to do it!

It really doesn't work.

Don't bullshit me!

You think it's not long to go, huh?

Well, I might extend it for you!

So you could practise working with a radio for an extra year!

Driver forward!

Look where you are

You're supposed to drive in a line of attack!

I'll show you!

They started out of shallow trenches so they got going quicker!

Don't be smart! ..and keep driving!

Get fucked!

Guys! Hang on tight!

I'll knock him off!

What a pig this driver is!

I'll have him locked up!

-He hasn't fallen off?

-No.

He'll spend his Sundays learning how to drive!

-I'm leading him on.

Isuue an immediate order to destroy the enemy's positions!

at Navigation Point two-oh-three!

You're supposed to stop.

Are you gonna stop or what?

-Andelin, stop!

-Fuck the prick!

Why is the gun operator not shooting?

What an incompetent pig!

Karel, move the bloody thing a bit,

to make him happy!

We've attacked this hill a hundred times already,

so why should I keep moving the barrell - fuck him!

Shoot back!

Can't you see the enemy's shooting at you?

Fuck, I'll show you...!

-Shit!

-Fuck, Andelin, you're an ass!

What was that supposed to be?

That was supposed to be shooting from a stopped vehicle?

That would at best hit a piece of old cow shit!

Who gave the order?

-Not me!

-Not you?

Why did you shoot?

I didn't shoot,

as the tank jerked I pulled the trigger by mistake.

So your crew is so independent

that anyone can shoot whenever they feel like it?

-Take it easy, boys!

He's just pissed off that they screw his old lady!

Why is that idiot of a driver not moving for so long?

If this was war time, you'd have been shredded times over!

Hey, man!

Which circus did you learn to drive at?

What can I do with this old heap of shit?

What are you saying, comrade?

These machines have been through several Soviet war advances!

That's why they're shit...

Andeline, move please!

You haven't started yet?

Get that gun chamber spotless!

What's this? You have nothing to do?

Tank leader? --Here!

Gun barrell's filthy, the crew's doing nothing...

You'll spend the whole night cleaning the barrell!

Squadron leader - come here!

Finish! Line up; face in the direction of the church!

Here comes trouble...

Attention!

-Comrade Major!... - Comrades!

What you showed here today was not an attack of

a tank battalion but a parody of one!

It was a disgrace...chaos!

Comrades!

It is clear that during your national service you've learned nothing!

It's obvious that two years of service is not enough!

There are comrades among you who've already been here for 2 1/2 years

and one would've thought this should've resulted in better performance!

But what are the results instead, comrades?

The results are, comrades, that some comrades cheat!

They are betraying the trust

the working people have placed in our army!

But we will sort such comrades out, comrades!

Let them not assume they are not known!

Let them not assume that the proletariat will let them

..undermine what it's built by its labour!

No way, comrades!

What a load of crap!...

Eat it! Go on!

Janinka Pinkasova...

How can her old man keep her happy

..when he probably even sleeps at the tankodrome....

And with that stony face of his...well, tell me...

But he always has a loaded gun on his arse

...and you can never be sure when he's gonna turn up at home.

- Lizetka, let me stay with you... -- No way!

- I won't do anything... --No, darling!

- I want to sleep and you'd annoy me. -- I won't, really!

- I know you; you'd annoy me! --But...

Lizetka. ther's no logic in you...

But since when has there been any logic in women, you idiot?

What's happening?

What can I do for you, Mrs Pinkasova?

Would you please ask if Leutenant Pinkas is coming home tonight?

For you - anything!

--Danny! --What?

You're supposed to see Ruzicka immediately!

-What for? --I don't know, but you're to be on the run!

-- Fuck! -- Yes I understand..

At your command! Corporal Smiricky!

So, comrade Corporal!

The battalion's cultural group

will ensure completion of their commitment to attain

the Fucik plaque

by undertaking exams of the Plaque of Fucik.

By tomorrow, Smiricky!

The new comrade Lieutenant here

will be the chairman of the examination commission.

How do you run your F.P.?

Are you doing it according to plan?

There are no books, comrade Lieutenant.

Otherwise...the comrades would like to...

Yeah...they would...

But there's not even one fifth of the necessary books available at the library...

--But that's no excuse!

You must overcome difficulties!

Just like members of the Komsomol did!

And they not only did not have books...

they often did not even have any food.

--Of course! --And they still fulfilled their plan, did they not?

How many comrades are ready for F.P.?

--Well... --Well?

About two.

What?

Finish! Attention!

Those wearing shorts will lie down to the afternoon rest!

Everyone else will be lined up in 10 mins in front of the building.

..as candidates of F.P.!

I'll get you going!

To think you have your rest at noon fully dressed!

--Corporal Smiricky! --Here!

You'll be responsible that all those who don't know the regulations

will be lined up for the exam! --Will do!

Where have you been?

I had to go ask for her myself, you moron!

Well, comrades...

Let's start with the book

"Far from Moscow".

Comrades...

You need not be afraid!

I'm sure you read in your spare time.

So tell us something about it..let's say you, comrade!

Soudek! Get here!

Well,.."Far from Moscow" that is...

Hurry, Soudek!

...well, that's such a...

And go! ---Well, it's a book...

..the people in it...

Soudek! Quick! Come here!

--I'm here! --...they worked for a long time...

...but not hard..not hard...

...well..they...there..in those....

...in those countries...

...far...well...from the capital of the Soviet Union...

...there...it was...they then....

...apparently...well, there are no more imperialists there!

That's right!

Just don't you fear literature, comrades!

None of us here is motivated by the intention

to make life, so to speak, difficult for anyone here...

Tonight, for example, we will examine

the officers for a change - and also their wives!

And now, who could tell us

what have you learned from that novel

that will help you improve your work?

--Well, comrade Corporal? --Well then...

..we've learned from it...

...that we should work according to...

...the new methods and....

...to use the experiences of those comrades from...

..the USSR. --But of course!

See, you have the knowledge in you after all, guys!

Just need to do it army style!

Have you read anything from Wolker?

Well..sure...I've read that...

..that Ballad of an Aborted Child.

And?...How did you like it?

Well..I liked it...why wouldn't I?

And now,comrades, who'll tell us what it's about?

Private Bamza!

Well...it's about that...like...

...how two people fall in love...

...he gets her, you know...pregnant...

...because they're both poor...

...so she must somehow..get rid of it... --Good!

Has anyone else read anything from Wolker, comrades?

Wait, comrade Lieutenant!

Is it still possible today, in our people's democratic country

for such things to happen?

Do our comrades have to still do that today,

because they might be unable to feed that..that child?

--They do, too! --No they don't!

What would you value most...about your girlfriend?

...you know..if you were to..marry her?

Well?

Bamza!

Well?

Well?

Well, you know...if...here...

Tits!

Wait, comrades!

The comrade meant what a woman should be like today

regarding the..the socialist morals!

Comrade Heresa, what are those..those..

physical merits?

They can be..different with different women, right...

..according to the preference of each comrade!...So...

What are the merits your girl must have?

..I mean..those psychiatric ones, you know...

Soudek!

Well..she must be..honest.

True...that's also important, of course...

..but what are the main features of socialist morality

..that every girl must comply with?

Men...we had it in that brochure...

The higher, the socialist morality...

Megala!

She must be faithful to the people's cause.

Yes!

Comrades,

a woman today is though, mainly a helper

..at her workplace. In that woman we see what?...

Well, that Mr Wolker saw in her at the times of the bourgeois republic..

that is, mainly a comrade, comrades!

Jiri Wolker was a poor boy from a working class family.

He was forced to work hard since he was a child.

And he was often hungry...

The bourgeois capitalist republic tried all sorts of ways

to stop him from writing poetry.

He could not find a publisher.

His work was multiplied solely

by groups of dedicated youths.

They loved Wolker...

..and printed his poetry illegally by hand.

But today Jiri Wolker

has become the poet of all young people.

Right!

Would you be able to recite one of Wolker's poems?

The Mail Box.

The mailbox at the street's corner

..that's not just any thing.

It blooms in blue; people value it a lot

they confide anything to it.

They put letters in it from two sides

one side for the sad ones, the other for the happy ones.

The letters are white like pollen

..they are waiting for trains, ships..

and for men...

..so like a bumble bee or like wind would send them to distant places

there, where there are hearts, red flowers..

..hidden amongst pink petals..

..when the letter lands on one.

Fruit will grow on them..

..both sweet and sour...

--You'll soon be discharged. --Yes.

You must be looking forward to that...

Well, sure; you know, I've been here for two years already.

I've been here two more years.

And could comrade Lieutenant ask for a transfer

somewhere else? Some better place?

No, he could not.

He must stay here. Don't you know that

he ran off to fight against the Germans, but he picked the wrong direction?

To England?

--What did you study? --Me? Philosophy.

I also wanted to study.

..but I did not know how big a sin it is to be married to a man

who comes from a proletarian family, but has been an officer in the English army.

Well, there's nothing to covet.

How come? It's nice to be knowledgeable, isn't it?

You'd pull your nose over her, wouldn't you, Lizetka?

A silly woman, with who knows what confused notions in her head,

lost in the area of army object "Kobylec".

But, Lizetka. you bitch with an academic degree

she'll let me fuck her, and you won't...

What are you still waiting for, comrade Corporal?

I'm not sure myself...

it's like...feels like the moment before an attack.

One tries to extend it, second by second...

You have some very strange comparisons.

Why?

It's a strange compliment when you compare me

to what awaits the tankists during a battle!

No; it's not like that. You don't know what death means to me.

That's the biggest compliment I can give you.

Yeah..If you were confronted by death, you'd be changing your tune!

I'd be thinking of you then!

The tough tankist talk; as if I were hearing my husband!

But when you're confronted by death in your tank

you'll be rushing to open the lid so you can jump out.

But then they'll shoot you with their machine guns.

With the thought of you in my head,

anything will be beautiful!

--You must return to the squadron now. --Mmm...

--No I don't. --You'll have troubles.

I'd be happy to have troubles because of you!

And if they have you locked up for returning late?

For you, I'll go to jail happily!

All of a sudden it's not that bad to be doing army service.

Everything that's about to end is not too bad suddenly.

Lifi consists of things in the past.

Toilet time! Toilet, boys!

Toilet!

--Give me a fag! --OK.

Open the door! Hey guys! Let me out!

Do you hear? Let me out!

Wait - this'll be some fun!

Arseholes!

Whatever; I don't care!

If you don't let me out, you'll be cleaning it yourselves!

Well - you'll piss yourself!

If you don't open by the time I count to 20

get a rag and a bucket ready!

Let her out, Bamza!

One...two...

..three!

...four...five...

...six...

As you please..

Attention!

Arms ready!

Arms at ease!

Oh my god...

OK, boys; enough, enough.

--She's something... --Danny!

--You'll need help! --Danny; please...

..please; would you take my shift tonight?

We can swap another time if you want.

--Have you locked everything? --Sure, I have.

It's gonna be OK tonight,

Kamen's Officer in Charge. He'll sleep through it.

For sure. It'll be nice and peaceful.

--Righto, Danny. I'm going to have a shut eye, OK? --OK.

Well, and I think I'll also go and arrange something.

One sin after another.

But no mortal ones.

Get divorced and marry me, Lizetka!

Well, you'd make a fine catch!

Comrade Major

during my service nothing unusual has happened

in the battallion's jail.

There are 10 prisoners; Corporal Smiricky in charge.

May a prison guard lay down his weapon during service?

--He may not! --Have you followed that regulation?

--I have not! --How is it possible?

How is it possible, comrade Corporal?

I have acted in an irresponsible and unpraiseworthy way!

Where's the soldier in charge of the guard?

He is inspecting the guards., comrade Major!

Well; so. Show me the prison.

What is this - mess like in a whorehouse?

How is this possible?

What is....what...who...?

Corporal Babincakova.

She's in for 15 days sharp detention...

Up!

Comrade Major! Nothing unusual has happened during my shift!

Officer in Charge of Guards, Lieutenant Malina!

Pick up your uniform and follow me!

--And you - to bed! --Yes Sir!

Are you sleepwalking?

You're not aware of what you're doing?

How come you have left your post?

I don't know.

--So you're a sleepwalker! --No.

So how could you have left your post?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Man, and you are an officer?

You can't talk?

Can't you face up to the results of your deeds? Answer me!

--Yes. --What "yes"? Can you or can't you?

No!

Man, I am not here for you to laugh at; remember that!

Are you aware of what you've done?

Do you know what's gonna happen to you? Do you?

--Yes! --What? --No!

What made you leave your post?

Answer slowly and calmly!

Yes!

--Comrade Corporal Babincakova. --So!!

So; a woman!

Do you know what is the soldier's biggest enemy, comrade?

No!

Women!

And I don't mean our women; those at home.

..those whose safety we are guarding here..I mean other women!

Such women..they will get the soldier all confused...

..they take away his sharpness...

..his awareness..they lead him to neglect his duty...

...to tell them our army secrets!

--No, not that. --What; why not?

--Comrade Babincakova didn't want..---Didn't want what?

She did not want me to tell any secrets...

..she wanted only... ---What?

..only..---What only? Use full sentences when you answer!

only the...intercourse...

And you're saying that so calmly?

You, with your working class origins! The working class,

which has put you in such a responsible position! This is treason, Lieutenant!

And you, comrade, you allow things like that to happen in prison?

I was just following orders.

You don't know the rules?

I do.

Do you know that you can refuse to carry out any order

which goes against the interests of the people?

No. I must follow orders first; I can complain afterwards.

You are the right one to complain!

You always rely on your cleverness

but that won't work in our people's democratic state!

Because we know who the class enemy is

and we'll sort those out!

I will finish you off!

I will put in a complaint about you.

Complaint?

You?

You want to abuse the rights and privileges

of our people's democratic army?

So you could subvert it?

I'll sort you out!

the bolshevik way!

Mind boggles, comrades.

..not even mentioning the political awareness.

Slansky...

had been paid 30 thousand koruna each month

and he still betrayed.

Neither me nor you, comrades,

all of us here, we getnot even a quarter of that.

--And what will we do? --We won't betray!

Loud!

--Everybody! --We will not betray!

Comrades!

To examine your combat and political preparedness

our battallion will be visited

by the Soviet combat advisor

Colonel Nik... Nik...

Nikititchenko!

One, two! Sing!

American tanks are attacking.

Your tank

is following a river.

You are subjected to heavy enemy fire.

Suddenly you see

in your gun sight

an American tank "Sherman".

What will you do?

Private Bamza!

The "Sherman" tank is approaching.

You can even see the white star on its armour.

What will you do?

Corporal Zloudek!

I will shoot!

But how will you shoot?

Take an example, comrades

here, in this tank, that's you.

The American tank is approaching you at full throttle.

How will you shoot? -You, comrade!

I will shoot the cannon!

The machine gun's of fuck all use.

--What? --But HOW will you shoot is what I want to know!

Comrade Captain, allow me to speak!

Corporal Manas; speak!

I'll use trigonometric method to estimate enemy's distance.

Demonstrate!

Using the known height and the estimated speed

I will use the formula V=Rx1.75/v, which is the speed

of an anti-armour cartridge needed to penetrate enemy's tank.

I will set the third scale on the left

used for calculating anti-armour ammunition

the arrived at figure of distance and shoot!

Go on! Shoot for fuck's sake!

To your health, comrade!

Right turn! Follow me!

Well, I want to see this!

He's been so busy agitating these last two years

he's never even tried to shoot out of a tank!

Fuckwit!

Attention!

Down!

Lie down you idiot!

Manas! That idiot!

You prick!

I'll kill you!

The bastard!

You animal!

Why did you not report at conscription

that you are blind like a bat?

Dou you know who you've almost killed?

I guarantee you

that you'll spend the rest of your army time in jail!

When it jerked

I mistakenly pulled the trigger...

You prick!

Jana!

Has anything happened to you?

What is it?

Jana!

Danny!

Jana...

Wait...

Fuck it!

Sorry...

It doesn't matter, Danny...

Thanks!

Stop!

What your problem, arsehole?

How have you addressed your comrade?

Come here!

Where have you been, Smiricky?

I went for a walk.

Walk?

How is it possible

to leave the unit during exercises

which have not even finished?

This is sabotage!

What are you going to tell me about it?

Did you intend to ridicule our unit

in front of our Soviet comrades?

That's unforgivable!

Don't you believe that when you have it, as you say

"a few" days to go,

that you can escape justice!

Or can you explain to me how is it possible?

What do you do in normal life?

I'm supposed to be starting at a book publisher's.

Publishers! Books!

An element like yourself at a publisher's?

How can that be?

You will never start

at any publisher's, Smiricky!

I'll make sure of that personally!

You will experience what the rule of the proletariat is

in the mines!

And one day you'll thank me for it yet!

At least you've been locked up

for leaving the barracks without a permit.

Me, they just asked me

what the name was of the president

of our people's democratic republic.

And what did you say?

Dr Alfons Cepicka.

You moron!

Who's to remember all those pricks' names?

And what the fuck can I say?

All those arseholes keep repeating to me

how I am to be proud of the honour

of being an exemplary tankist.

And what do I get for it? Crap; not even any holidays.

Instead the pricks put me in jail!

Piss off!

How much did you get, Manas?

"Good by, my dear friend!"

Author: Corporal Manas.

So; one last time...It's a pity

...I got used to you so much...

...even though I didn't want to know you at first.

And I almost.... fuck you!

And I was almost scared of you...

..and yet I've grown to love you over the two years...

..so warm..and close...

...just like my best friend...

..I often gave you all my spare time...

..often even my nights...

..and all those lovely moments we've had together...

..remember..

the time a deer played around us...

..with his doe..

..and I then wanted suddenly

..so much..to love someone!

Fucking idiot...

..and I stroke you...

..my dear comrade..my tank...

...T-34...

Hey, man...

I'm reading here you've been rooting a tank!

Corporal Smiricky - to First Aid room; immediately!

What is it?

The tests've come in. You've got gonnorhea, moron.

Smiricky..well, come in!

I have gonnorhea?

Bullshit...

What other excuse would have got them to let you out?

This had to happen at the end of the service.

Such a stupid, cruel joke...

I could've spent two years idling around with Janinka..

and instead of that, I kept chasing Lizetka

that hypnotic chunk of ice.

One does not value some things till they're no longer around.

When it's pretty much all over.

That stupid law of life...

Borovicka will destroy you.

Just like he destroyed my husband.

And what can I do?

Danny...

I love you!

Comrades!

We have assembled here, comrades,

so as to celebrate, in a happy and manly way

the honourable completion of service

in our people's democratic army!

Even more honourable

considering that some of you

have had the basic 24 months of service

extended by 6 more months of special training.

But even that is not sufficient to master

such a complex machine like the tank T-34!

We will need 3 years of service for that!

You've completed your task with some enthusiasm

but of course some of you have not had as much enthusiasm

as is natural with soldiers of our people's democratic army!

But against such as those

we have and we will devise measures to deal with them!

The nation

as well as our Communist Party will not tolerate

the disruptive elements' destroying our dedication!

Especially by those,

whose education was made possible by the sweat of the working classes!

Those, who do not carry out the people's orders with enthusiasm

are themselves separating from our lines

and I will ensure

that they are brought to task - and there are such amongst you -

for the full consequences of their actions

even in civilian life!

The workers are aware and awake

and they will get rid of anyone who stands in their way!

Such persons will feel the hard fist of the people!

And they will be forced to enthusiastically do their duty

and if they are not enthusiastically doing their duty

the working class will sort them out!

Long live the USSR!

Long live our great friend and protector

our leader and teacher

our beloved liberator

the wise and great

benevolent and immortallized

irreplaceable generalissimus

Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin!

Good appetite, mum!

Two and a half years...

..two and a half years...

How could we have survived it?

We are saying "Good-bye" today to all of you

tanks and bayonets

and we...

...at the threshold of labour

...women are welcoming us with blood red roses

I swear!

If it were necessary for my life to be sacrificed...

for beloved motherland, we are all here

prepared for that fight.

I, too, am prepared to fight!

As long as we live

we will keep our sacred promise in our hearts...

..and we are prepared to pay with our blood...

Silence, comrades! Silence!

Comrades!

Comrade Captain!

Long live the USSR!

--Janinka! --Danny!

Will we see each other ever again, Danny?

Of course!

If Little Devil permits, I'll see you in Prague!

You'll be able to come, won't you?

I don't know.

Why couldn't you?

Your husband's always on duty anyway,

he won't even know that you've been away!

Why did you turn up here in the first place?

How do you mean - "turned up"?

There were officers here...

Janinka...

..cinema three times a week.. --Jani!

Everything was very stupid but it was all OK...

..and then you turn up!

It's just fine the way it is.

What's fine?

That I no longer care at all about my husband's fine?

That I'll be missisg something much more than ever before...

--Jani... --It's all fine...

I know. I'm just a hysterical woman.

--You're not. --Yes I am!

Come with me.

Where to? To some stupid rental in Prague?

So you would run away from there so you would not have to

always look at that stupid ex-Lieuntenant's wife Pinkasova?

The one that loved you so much? --Jani...stop...

So much, so much.. do you understand, Danny?

I love you so much...

I don't know why I'm so stupid

that I love you so much. So much!

--Get a divorce. --And what are we going to do then?

I can't do anything; I don't even like books.

Jani..stop..

I love you...

I love you, Daniel...

Stay with me!

I know...

..it's all stupid...

It probably must be this way.

Shut up!

Sing the one of ours - the bolshevik one!

Quiet! This is provocation!

I will not tolerate insults

to our people's democratic army!

This is treason!

Disperse! I see that not only Smiricky

but all of you are the most disgusting reactionaries!

-Sure!.. --Who're you calling a reactionary, you little snot?

You'll be court marshalled!

Comrade!...

..comrade...

He's capable of calling the counter espionage guys.

Bloody cooks! They keep leaving this open!

One day someone'll fall into the shit.

Do you know why I've called you, Mr Smiricky?

There's not much left of Major Borovicka....

..except for one thing.

He's written a political profile on you, Smiricky.

Your execution, that is.

Does he know or does he not?

You're lucky it was me who found it....

..and not someone from the political department.

Reservist Corporal Smiricky..

Go.
