Original subtitles

Tell my wife that I wanted to go home...

- It's not my fault. - We will tell her.

Pestszentl�rinc...

...F�klya street 3.

He's coming.

He'll denounce him...

for maiming himself.

- How much does he wants? - Too much.

He'll wait till the morning and denounce him.

Will they shoot me?

- What does he want? - 15 tins of food and 3 cheeses.

Bastard!

Bastard!

If he asks, we have to give it.

- What from? - From our extra food.

- From the teams extra. - It's more than 4 days rations.

I won't give it.

Five days ago you didn't even know such food existed.

He doesn't want too much.

15 tins for a human life?

It's nothing. We have to give it.

And if I won't? I'm not a boy scout.

You cannot force me!

Really?

Any more objections?

Di�!

I will never forget it.

No need to be thankful, Lipt�k. I'm not pampered.

And it's a trap. He takes the food...

...and denounces him anyhow. Then what?

- Play the drum, Pog�ny! - What?

Anything!

Corporal!

Do you want to do business with me?

Business?

What business?

Well...

- Don't fool me, �nodi. - I'm not, Corporal.

What happened?

- Koczina kicked me. - Accidentally. I'm sorry.

Damn you, Rudi. Take care of each other.

He is coming.

Some relaxation. Run with me!

One-two, one-two, one-two, one-...

Pog�ny, you too. One-two, one-two, one-...

Run around the green. One-two, one-two, one-two, one-...

One-two, one-...

- Lazy bones! - Come on, guys!

Come on, Steiner. Don't spare with your breath.

- What do you want? - Do you want it?

- Yes, I told you. - Now you can get it.

Look at it first.

Swiss Dunhill.

- See that little wheel? - What is it for?

It strikes the flint.

Damn!

Thus little thing automatically changes the flint.

- You see. - Yes.

- Nice little thing. What is the price? - Nothing, Corporal.

Just hold your tongue.

- About what? - About the escape.

The escape?

Tie his hands!

His legs, too.

His mouth!

Ready.

- Let's rest. - No way.

We have to walk while it's dark. Let's go.

Lieutenant, I report, the players knocked me out

- and ran away. - When?

- This morning. - And you report it now?

They gagged me, these swines!

They ought to have been killed long ago.

- Leave it to me. - Yes, sir.

Hands up!

- What is it? - I don't know.

- When did it start? - 15 minutes ago.

- What's the time? - About noon, I think.

Maybe later.

We'll be finished before the evening. No big deal.

I was a fool to agree. I've told you not to escape.

Damn R�cz! Irresponsible swine!

- Leave him in peace. - Poor R�cz.

He wanted to live so much.

He adored Piri. All his thoughts were around her.

Who's Piri?

His daughter. We went to the same dance school.

Remember, when she visited me when I had the cold?

A blond girl in red dress.

I can't remember.

I should have gone back to my company,

when you sent me, Mr. �nodi.

Let me out! I didn't want to escape!

- I don't want to die! - Stop it, Pog�ny!

Let me out! I don't want to die.

- Can't you hear! - Don't be hysterical!

- Tell us a story, Di�! - About what?

About anything. Tell us the Swedish woman.

I'm fed up with the Swedish woman. But really.

I was fed up with her blond whiteness. I didn't like her.

I didn't love anyone after for real.

Perhaps one girl...

She just washed my back and she didn't want anything from me.

Attention!

Youre going to play football.

I hope everything will be alright, �nodi.

Yes, sir.

They're building the goals.

The field is almost ready and the German troops will start...

...marching soon.

It's 2:15 now.

The match begins exactly at 3 oclock.

You're responsible for it, �nodi.

Yes, sir.

But sir, there's only ten of us.

One man...

- One man... - I know. We will organize it.

- When did you eat last? - A day before yesterday.

- Bring it in! - Yes, sir.

Lieutenant, forgive me. Are you J�nos Zal�n?

Don't you recognize me, J�nos?

I've lost weight and I'm not shaved.

I'm Ferenczi. Korn�l Ferenczi.

We were together in Berlin, when the Olympics...

I don't know you.

Here's some jam for you.

- And after the match? What will be? - We'll see.

Why didn't you ask him what will be after the match?

Attention!

Attention!

No! No!

Stop it!

Stop it!

I said stop it!

I feel sorry for R�cz. He was a tough guy.

They should have shot �nodi instead.

- How can you talk like that? - I hate him so much!

I would spit in his face 20 times a day.

He's worse than a whore selling himself for every purpose.

While he thinks he is a star.

It's not a big deal.

Keep the ball away from the goal. It's our tactics.

If you can't catch the ball, hit it, G�za.

And don't hurry with the kick out. Look around before that.

You, Steiner, if you have the ball, kick it immediately.

- But not to the rivals, if it is possible. - Yes, Mr. �nodi.

- Why don't you dress? - If only we knew what happens to us.

We will not start anything.

- We won't play in a circus. - Do you think, I want?

I promised to ask Zal�n, but get ready first.

I'm responsible for everything. Do you want to make him mad?

Don't make a fuss, boys.

Don't upset him. He is nervous enough. Dress up!

- May I have the mirror. - Please.

We look fine.

Take a photo and send it home to our wives.

My jam was here.

- Who took it? - And mine?

And mine!

Was it you, Pog�ny?

- I'm. - You rat!

Di�!

Good morning. I'm allowed to play at last, Mr. �nodi.

What do you know, Mr. Szab�? What will be with us after the match?

You surely know.

They told me to play, because one is out.

One really needs a little exercise.

- Where do you want to play? - I played centre at home.

Center. But I'll play in the back if you want.

No. Here, dress up quickly!

- Are you serious, sir? - Yes, I'm.

I've brought some bacon. Here you are. And a knife.

You've had nothing to eat for days.

- Thank you, Mr. Szab�. - Welcome.

I spare a very nice bone as well.

I'll make a nice soup for you tonight.

Eat once more. But dont tell anyone!

What did you said, Mr. Szab�?

What? What did I say?

You'll make us a nice soup once more.

That means...

What's going to happen to us after the game, Mr. Szab�?

Don't do this with me, Mr. �nodi.

We asked you something.

If you don't want me to smash your head, answer the question!

- Mr. Szab�. - Court-martial, Mr. Koczina.

Tell Lieutenant Zal�n to come here at once!

We want to talk to him.

- How dare you...! - Shut up! I told you to call him!

Immediately!

Yes, I'm going.

It's not my fault, that you'll be...

- The morale? - Excellent!

Excuse me, Madam.

Only there's no amusement out here.

But this match made them enthusiastic.

I hope youll enjoy it, too, Madam.

- Heil, Hitler! - Heil!

What an idea?! This gang...

There was no choice, Colonel.

They'll do for this one and a half hours.

You want me to watch them the whole afternoon through?

Then let us sit. Please.

I asked for a brothel several times, in vain.

They promised us the front line theatre...

...but they didn't come.

Still we have to celebrate our F�hrer's birthday somehow.

But how, Colonel?

What did you expect?

Receiving thanks for your duties?

It's war around here if you haven't noticed.

You escaped, knocked out a Hungarian soldier...

...stole his gun.

People were hanged for less than that.

We won't play then.

Do you speak for yourself or for the others, too �nodi?

For all of us.

We won't act like fool before our death.

You know what you get for disobeying an order?

- They'll shoot us. - On the spot.

Think it over, �nodi.

Anything might happen till tomorrow. The game for example.

If the game is a success, you will receive...

...perhaps...

I can't make promises, but...

I give you two minutes to think it over.

If you refuse to play, I have to report it...

...to Colonel Von Stein and no doubt he will have to shoot you...

...right on the spot.

- Sieg! - Heil!

You rotten beasts!

Poor Di�!

These are breed monsters. They will kill our boys.

You'll see our team won't play.

- Impossible, doctor. - Look! Zal�n is still there.

Who can play with a rope around his neck?

Maybe they can't, but they will.

They won't if they have the guts.

Good for you. It's easy to talk.

- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon.

- What's the news from home. - I have received a letter today.

My younger daughter went to a secretarian school to learn typing.

His sweetheart is an engineer.

That's nice. Taste it. My own mix.

Thank you.

I wish I was at home.

I find the whole situation horrible.

Long live the Hungarians! Long live �nodi!

They are coming, it seems.

Don't feel sorry, Di�. It's all the same for us now.

- I wish it was over. - The game and the day...

Isn't it funny? My son will be two months old tomorrow.

I feel ill, Pali.

It's the jam.

Long live the Hungarians!

- Long live the Hungarians! - Don't shout, Lipt�k!

Why do you want to hail them?

It's the only thing I'm still allowed to do,...

...to shout at a game. So I shout.

�nodi Due? Bene, benissimo!

- �nodi Due, Schneider. - Ja, ja. Di�, sch�n.

It's crazy, Mr. �nodi. They all know you. What a great thing!

What difference does it make under the gallows.

Don't talk like that.

What's wrong with you, Pog�ny?

He ate too much. He ate too much again.

- A fine start! - Scoundrels!

- You're not even trying. - Hold your tongue!

Don't shout stupid things.

You go forward, Mr. Szab�. I'll take the Pog�ny's place.

Why you, Mr. �nodi. What can we do without you?

Won't you have a cup of tea, darling?

A good idea!

He likes tea very much. And it will do my throat good.

I have to be careful. I'll sing tonight.

One moment. Tell me, which one is �nodi ll?

- That one, who went back. - He hasn't even touched the ball.

Tell me, is it true, that tomorrow all of them...?

Most likely.

I'm sorry.

Tell Corporal Csorba, the man with the bandaged head

to come here with my samovar at once.

He has to report here within 30 minutes.

Steiner! They found out there's a Jew in the team.

There will be a scandal, you see.

Give em, Balogh!

Come on, Di�!

The idiot! He closes his eyes instead of defending.

- Come on, boys. - What's the matter with you, Di�?

- Attack, Di�! - Why didn't you, Mr. �nodi?

You'll know if you were going to be hanged.

Why are your here in the back? Go to your place!

G�za, watch out!

- Where are you going? - I want to see it.

Give me your watch then.

The watch stays with me until the end of the game.

You will get it if you take me home. It was the deal.

No way. You'll disappear here.

That's for sure. It's so easy for me.

Steiner!

What's the matter, Steiner?

Why are you standing here? The game is on.

- Szeleczky! - Koczina!

- It's a joke! 3:0. - What are you doing, �nodi?

Di�!

Di�!

- Guszti! Guszti, you're here? - What's the matter, Di�?

- You have to attack! - That's why you ate the extra food.

Here. Eat all our bread!

You swine!

Bastard!

You defend this rabble?

They sold themselves to the Germans!

They're clowns.

Watch out, �nodi!

Di�, you're alone. Di�!

Goal!

Long live, �nodi! Long live, Di�!

I can play now, Di�. I'm better now.

If we refused to play...

...it would be all over.

You're not right, Kar�csony. Never give up hope.

I take it for granted that after the match...

You'll see. Tomorrow you'll be pardoned. You'll see.

Don't make me laugh, Mr. Szab�, because I'll die laughing.

We're lice and they'll kill us whenever they like.

R�cz was right. And we are contented to be lice.

Is there anything left of that bacon, which Mr. Szab� brought?

Here.

Good day.

How are you, Mr. Future Corpses?

- Leave them alone, Csorba. - Why?

They weren't gentle with me either.

Future corpses, aren't they? You know.

You are a filthy man, Csorba!

I'm not too often in such fine company, as with you.

I made a good business with this lighter, �nodi.

I like it very much.

Don't you regret it?

This game is damn good! I saw only the last 10 minutes.

I have never laughed so much in my life. What are you doing there?

I saw the Rivels in a circus, but that was nothing compared to this.

So what? You aren't in a talking mood.

An excellent goal, Di�!

You have to win this game, boys! Don't let yourselves!

You have to cover everybody. Cover and attack!

The two most important things. You can't win without it.

What's the matter with you? There is another half-time.

What are you doing here?

How dare you come in here?

- I report, I came to see the game. - He is my guest, Corporal.

Repaying my last visit.

How dare you get out from the hospital and come here?

Spreading viruses which you carrying.

Go to hell from here!

Yes, Corporal.

You stay here!

- Go away, Corporal! - I don't understand.

- What did you said, �nodi?! - I said, go away!

You can't scare with your gun, you idiot!

I don't care whether I die today or tomorrow.

Get out, you bastard!

You can go to your superior to report!

Go!

- What have you done, Di�! - Pour water on my neck!

Lets start the second half.

- Attack, Di�! Come on! - Not yet. Don't worry.

- If it goes in... - Attack, Hungarians!

Attack, Hungarians! Cheer them!

We should win the game.

Attack, Hungarians!

Attack, Hungarians!

Goal!

Goal! 3:2.

That was something! What a great heading!

Yes.

It was beautiful, Mr. �nodi. Congratulations.

Rotten beasts!

Hurray Hungarians!

Excellent, G�za! It was great!

Murderers! Nazi murderers!

- What did he say? - It was a fault. No doubt.

- What's wrong? - My leg...

Try to stand up!

- I can't... - You have to!

Hurray Hungarians!

Don't rest, G�za! Give out the ball!

- Don't hold it. - Don't waste the time.

- I've lost my voice, doctor. - It will come back.

Steiner, do the best!

This Steiner is a genius!

Koczina!

- What's the problem, Steiner? - Nothing, Mr. �nodi.

Nothing happened. Nothing.

You understand? Nothing.

I tell you, nothing happened.

I'm the referee here! Penalty kick.

Attention! Russian aircrafts! Alarm! Down!

Don't kick in, �nodi!

Listen, �nodi! Don't kick in!

- We have a penalty kick! - Stop this madness! Dont kick in!

We will forget the escape. I promise you won't be punished.

Listen to him Di�. Dont kick in! Do you hear?

Don't get angry!

This is only a game, isn't it?

Yes, it's a game.

They'll kill us, Di�!

Long live Hungarians!

Long live Hungarians!

Well, it's better to go home, darling.

Heilig! This cannot be tolerated!

Maintain order!

But how, sir?

I don't care.

I want them to be quiet!

Yes, sir.

Do your best, boys! You have to win, Di�!

Do your best! You have to win!

It was great! Di�!

What was that? What is hapenning here?

- This is only a game, sir. - A game?

Do you know what it is? It's a rebellion. It's a revolt.

You'll be a player at last, Steiner!

We're leading!

We're leading!

We're leading!

Don't!

Sing! One... two... three...

Di�!
