There were five of us
Hello, my name is Petr Bajza. I start the 4th grade after the summer.
This is my brother Lado.
He is a teaching assistant in Teplice where he helps in a German class.
My best friends are: Antonin Bejval, Cenek Jirak,
Edo Kemlink and Pepek Zilvar from the workhouse.
We boys, as we walk together through life, experience all kinds of adventures.
Part three Flying a kite
- I want the cake. - I want the pastries and cream puffs.
No, they're bigger and better than mine.
No they're not.
- I want the cakes with whipped cream. - But those are mine.
- I already had those yesterday. - But I wasn't there then.
Look at those ones!
Good morning, Uncle.
Success to the motherland! Can you spare any change?
How about you do something for it?
Have you no shame? I am a war veteran.
Then you get a war pension. Which I'm sure you drink!
Can't you even say hello?
- "Pralojist". - Forever.
There it is. That's what you get from the youth today.
- Good day. - Hello.
Thieves, thieves, chase during the day, but when the night comes, he runs away.
I see and hear everything.
Jacob! Give us a ride!
Giddy up!
- Jacob, make us a kite? - I haven't got the time to help you.
- Please. - Give me a break.
Gentlemen, this is so exciting.
Come on, have you got the glue ready?
- The earring suits you. - It's protects against bewitchment.
- Does it work? - Yes.
Damn!
No, Jacob!
Mamma mia!
Jacob the farm boy doesn't talk much, but he understands what horses say.
Horses near him have to be careful what they whisper.
We boys are going to make our own kite.
Top-notch, Edo.
- Hey, guys. - Good day.
Mr Bajza! Soda!
- Good day. - Good day.
- So what? - So what?
- This afternoon at the chapel? - I have loads to do today.
- How about by the rocks? - Well, alright.
He'll eat you! It's just like Mr Fajst, right?
It's more like what you sit on the potty.
What? Take that back!
- Never! - Take it back!
- Let go of me. - I'll catch you.
Help, Jendo!
Honzo, help!
Jendo!
- What is it? - Let me out.
It's always something with you.
- Petr, come in for lunch. - We have to try out the kite.
You can finish it later. The boys have to go for lunch as well.
Goodbye.
Cut it out!
I'm sorry.
Christine, when are you going to get your head straightened out?
You already have a boyfriend.
I don't understand what she sees in him.
It annoys me that she still goes out with him.
That'll be a hundred crowns.
What about your Harley?
What about it?
Nothing, it's just a shame it's not running. It was barely used.
Actually, you don't need it.
Daddy, you have to come for lunch.
It's just that I'm interested in it.
Who said I'm selling?
Can you imagine what he said about the bike.
It's not a bad idea. It definitely has more oompf than you.
- Excuse me. - Not for me.
- What do you want? - Cucumber. With a dip.
- Semolina pudding? - Yes.
- Then I'll get it for you. - I'll get it myself.
Yummy, this is very good.
- Mr Bajza. - You've outdone yourself.
- Yummy. - Just you try it.
- It's good. - Try it and I'll take your head off.
I'll whack you! I don't love you.
You've got a registered letter. Where did he go?
He probably went to fly the kite.
It's from Hradce, the bank.
What are they writing to us about?
He says he is sorry.
- Can I come with you to fly your kite? - I don't know.
We don't take girls along.
- But I'm sticking with you. - Anyone can stick.
- Tondo. - Oh, look.
- Salted almonds, you're the best. - So shall we take her along?
Sure, yes.
- I can come then? - Yes.
- Can I bring some friends? Tondo? - OK, yes.
- Will you bring some more almonds? - We'll see.
They're good.
Girls can occasionally be useful.
- Where are you going again? - To a meeting.
- Yes? - Yes.
You take care of her. I wonder how we're going to pay her?
- Do not worry. - I'm afraid.
If I have to, I'll quit smoking.
I'd rather you sell the motorbike.
Really!
How much did Honza offer you?
Ten thousand.
A thousand crowns now and the rest in installments.
Considering it doesn't run, it's a good deal.
- It is. - You're so smart, Vendeline.
I know, it doesn't run, maybe it's time.
Time for what?
To do things differently.
I'm going to Prague, and I'm sure to get something from the banks.
Where are you going?
- Don't you have anything to eat? - Hey.
- Bread, it makes me bloated. - Plum cakes.
Cakes, now that's something else.
Wait for me. I'm coming.
Those blue mountains, those lovely plains... (singing)
- Who's following her for the almonds? - Not me.
- You're in love with her. - You lie, I'm never getting married.
I'll stay a widower.
Cenek Jirsak is very pious, and so never works on a Sunday.
He fears that if he does, the devils in hell will poke him with pitchforks.
So he promises revenge on feast days, and washes on weekdays.
Today is a weekday.
Behave yourselves.
Do you want me to come over?
You wait until after I've been to confession.
Habrovandies are loose, they have no shame. I'll tell on you.
This pipe is called a calumet in the Native Indian language.
If you smoke potatoes, then the teacher doesn't know.
Because he says that smoking is bad for your health.
Gypsies, the small... (singing)
Hey, don't eat them all.
It takes some getting used to.
Indian and gyspy women smoke, and there's nothing wrong with that.
- You can come with us again. - And don't forget the great almonds.
Hello.
Soda man, you've got a puncture.
Damn!
Guys, wait for me here.
Look.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hey there, guys.
Hey, Hippo. How did you find us?
You can see your kite from the square.
- Where's your guardian angel? - She's on holiday in France.
Tondo, let me have a go.
- Stop it! - Give it to me.
Cut it out!
- Stop it. - Let me have a go.
Now you've done it.
- Look what you've done. - Don't yell at me.
- You're an ass. - So are you.
Give it to me.
I didn't eat all the cakes?
What's the problem?
If you knew what you were doing.
You got it all tangled up again.
Don't pull on it!
Help!
Untie it.
What a stupid joke.
Girls, look what's here.
Ow!
That hurts.
You stupid Habrovacys!
You'll be sick.
Go home!
Who asked for your help?
Rampepurda Rampepurdacka.
Go take care of your Mr Soda!
I said, home.
You're in love with a stupid Habrovacy.
- It was quite exciting, right? - But that's his bike.
Have you seen him? What about you?
No, I've not seen him.
Jendo, come out.
Who's in there?
Come out!
Show yourself!
- There's nobody there. - No? Take a closer look.
Miss, it's getting late, I'm going home!
- Miss. - Quit it!
Not a word.
- You left that behind. - Where did you find it?
What's this?
It's a Christmas present.
Now playing: Train Ambush
- Shall we go? - Yes.
Weekly Report. We bring you interesting news from around the world.
Our president continues to enjoy good health.
On his latest trip, showing great strength.
Lord Koin visited Indian Calcutta. He negotiated with the Maharaja.
The famous race took place at Le Mans circuit.
Don't you have a ticket? If you'd like, I'll buy you one.
Who are you trying to bribe? Rampepurda Rampepurdacka.
Us boys, when we're together, get in to the cinema for free.
We all sneak in on a single ticket, Zilvar came up with it.
One of us pays the admission, and then opens a door at the side.
But it didn't work out this time because Edo is unreliable.
- And I was so looking forward to it. - Me too.
Good day.
- Hey, you're not going to the movies? - Run along, before you get checked out.
Evo, wait. Wait a minute, guys.
Evo, give me the crown and you'll experience a real adventure. OK?
Yes.
Tondo, look after her, and then she'll come with us.
Good evening.
Behave yourself.
Don't cause any trouble. I'll be watching.
- Hey, I'm here. - Hi.
Oto, behave responsibly.
No, no...
Maud! Flee!
Help! Johnny, I'm being kidnapped!
- Where's Evo? - What?
- Where did you leave Evo? - Get her yourself, you're the groom.
Don't cry.
I'm not crying.
The ambush is just starting. Come on.
- Where? Where? - You'll see.
Come on. Come on, and we'll make it.
This way.
Look out, someone's coming. Quickly.
Surrender, or you're a goner!
However the mail train guard doesn't sell his skin so cheaply.
- Thank you. - Okay, come on.
Shoot! Jesus, go on, there's a million.
Do it!
Stand up!
What for?
- Ouch, that hurts. - And so it should.
- Stand up! - Why?
You know perfectly well why.
Not one of them has paid.
And here is the fifth.
- Illegal entry through the window. - But you dragged me in here by yourself.
- What's that you say? - I didn't want to be here at all.
And if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here at all.
Get out!
I was only at the window.
And out, you bastards!
Watch out, you bastards had better let us go. We won't make a complaint.
Do you hear that?
Do it again and we'll pass it to our lawyer.
- What are you doing? - Mr Letovski, here, is our witness.
- Hands up or I'll shoot. - I'll give you a shot. Are you going?
- How is this possible? - That's the youth today.
If you weren't in the pull of a woman, we could have seen the end.
- Say that again. - Whatever, dude.
"Dude" you tell your grandmother.
Evo, I'm sorry.
Mr Treasurer, tell us, did the robbers hit the cashier?
- You've never whacked a savings bank? - Behave yourself!
Then I'll hit you.
No manners, the young today have all the good things, but no discipline.
Very true. Luxuries, no discipline.
For your punishment, write this out a 100 times, and have your parents sign it.
Bajza, think about what you did.
- But I am. - Really?
- Yes. - Then write.
Write.
It's all because of that stupid Fajst.
Help me.
There, it's done.
Hooligans!
Louts! Criminals!
That is a fantastic sin, as I've said before.
- What's the sign? - It's for adultery.
Mr Fajst. Mr Fajst. What's this?
- I would never do... - But. What are you saying?
- Hi. - What?
Where have you been?
You think that with your dad away, you can go wherever you want?
Just wait until he returns.
Ruffian, prisoner. Ruffian, prisoner.
Habrovacky bride has pants filled with pastries.
Habrovacky bride has pants filled...
Attracts the lice, can't stop itching.
Revenge will be sweet!
Did you say something?
Something to look forward to Rampepurdo!
Christine!
Yes, ma'am.
- You have a telegram from home. - Jesus.
Mum had an operation, I have to go.
Madam, she's dying.
Don't be silly, sit down.
Go upstairs to pack, and stay at home as long as you're needed.
Surely I cannot leave you here alone.
If you hurry, we can still make the train at half past six.
Christ, what's happening to me?
Ahhh...
Madam, give me a book, I'm not staying here any longer.
- What happened? - There is a mouse in my trunk.
Calm down. It must have got there by accident.
It was put there by Petr.
It won't hurt you. When I catch him, we will see.
Petr! I have something for you!
You'll see.
Petr!
Edo!
Good evening.
How do you do?
Welcome back, miss.
Let me take that. How was France?
- And how was the weather? - Weather?
Yes, the weather.
Christine!
Where are you going?
Don't leave! Please!
I don't want you to! Come back!
Rampepurdo rampepurdacka.
No. They won't. You can't borrow such a proportion from the banks.
If we didn't have the mortgage on the house, we could use that as a guarantee.
I don't know what will happen after the New Year when the tax bill arrives.
- Your dinner is ready. - What?
- Dinner. - I know.
God, I'm a criminal because I too have sinned.
I caused such misery with the mouse and also that soda man was with someone else.
But he couldn't have been, as she was in France all this time.
I'm begging you, gave me a miracle and have Christine return.
What are you doing here?
I nearly locked you in.
God bless you.
Do you not know when you have to come home? Where have you been?
- I was... - Come here.
- I'm here. - Come here.
Come in, hurry up.
Whose handy work is this?
I don't know. The cat.
And the cat put it in Christine's trunk?
Or was it me? Or mother?
- No. - The whole response.
No, it was not my mother.
Or the mouse climbed into the trunk by itself and then snuffed it?
Be careful how you answer, lying is a major sin.
Daddy, I'll be good.
- Mummy. - Daddy.
The president said, that the truth will always prevail.
Remember that, it was said by Tomas Garrigue Masaryk.
What is this? "I do not laugh at old people."
- What is this? - It is for signing.
It is to be signed.
You want it to be signed? I think I will give you a sign.
Here you go, making fun of old people.
Tomorrow we will make fun of me. Finally, I'll be beaten with a stick.
And we'll eat from wooden bowls. Just as it is in Neruda's poem.
Sonny we have already carved the wood you stole from the manor forest.
Come noon, you'll feel the full force of the hurricane.
Go to bed! Now!
- Come on. - Go!
Don't worry, Daddy has already calmed down.
I don't need this.
- This is unprecendented for you. - I know.
It's because you failed in Prague, right?
All I wanted was the best for you, now I'm ruined.
Dear God, I promise you that from tomorrow I will be virtuous.
Just make it that my dad is not ruined and Christine returns and forgives me.
