you seem to have a bad |

Your brother emigrated. |
| 01:05:48 |
Your wife emigrated. |
| 01:05:53 |
You didn't live together long |
| 01:05:58 |
Nobody saw her there. |
| 01:06:01 |
We lived together a few days, |
| 01:06:04 |
but we didn't get along. |
| 01:06:08 |
and I only spoke Czech. |
| 01:06:10 |
And you didn't notice |
| 01:06:15 |
Of course. But there were |
| 01:06:21 |
She kept opening the windows. |
| 01:06:24 |
She was so used to Siberian winters. |
| 01:06:31 |
So we decided we'd live separately. |
| 01:06:36 |
Okay, you've had your fun. |
| 01:06:39 |
Now spit it out. |
| 01:06:41 |
How much did they pay you, smart-ass? |
| 01:06:44 |
Isn't that a bit rude? |
| 01:06:47 |
I'll be as rude as I like. |

I call a jailbird anything I choose... |
| 01:06:53 |
and that's what you'll be. |
| 01:06:55 |
I asked you a question! |
| 01:06:58 |
Comrade, can't you take this child? |
| 01:07:00 |
We already tried. |
| 01:07:05 |
How'd you pay for that Trabant? |
| 01:07:08 |
I saved some and borrowed the rest. |
| 01:07:12 |
From whom? |
| 01:07:14 |
My colleague Parizek and Mr. Broz. |
| 01:07:20 |
Did your wife tell |
| 01:07:23 |
That took me by surprise. |
| 01:07:26 |
And her son. That also |
| 01:07:30 |
Yes, that too. |
| 01:07:32 |
What will you do with him? |
| 01:07:35 |
I'll probably keep him. |
| 01:07:38 |
Since he's mine by marriage. |
