Dark Blue World Page #2

Synopsis: March 15, 1939: Germany invades Czechoslovakia. Czech and Slovak pilots flee to England, joining the RAF. After the war, back home, they are put in labor camps, suspected of anti-Communist ideas. This film cuts between a post-war camp where Franta is a prisoner and England during the war, where Franta is like a big brother to Karel, a very young pilot. On maneuvers, Karel crash lands by the rural home of Susan, an English woman whose husband is MIA. She spends one night with Karel, and he thinks he's found the love of his life. It's complicated by Susan's attraction to Franta. How will the three handle innocence, Eros, friendship, and the heat of battle? When war ends, what then?

In case you come back at night and the house is locked.

Thank you.

You don't have any documents on you? In case we're searched?

No, Mr. Slama.

Good.

And call me Franta.

And you can call me Karel.

I know.

I don't know how to put it...

Sir, I mean Franta...

but I do have some documents

I'd like to take with me.

What are they?

No, forget it, I'll get rid of them. You'd only laugh at me.

No, I won't. Promise.

Let's see them.

Horses?

That's only camouflage. There's worse.

She's my only girl.

I'd rather not part with her.

Your only girl?

- Then you should keep her. - Thanks.

Sir,

I mean Franta! Look!

Oh God!

Barcha, you mustn't do this.

Go home.

Go home!

Back to Hanichka.

Go home!

Go or I'll hit you!

What's she doing?

She keeps turning around but she is going back.

Direction, one-two-zero, speed four-five-zero.

Permission to take off.

Blue Leader, Roger,

direction one-two-zero speed two-five-zero.

Three planes, type Messerschmitt at one o'clock.

Do you see them?

I can't see sh*t.

Shut up!

We don't see them, Sir.

Are you maintaining your speed?

Yes, Sir.

We're pedaling like maniacs.

This is stupid. I'm knackered!

You should see them by now!

We see them. Telly Ho!

What's going on?

- Behind you! - Break left!

You bastards. Why don't you let us fly!

We are going to repeat the whole exercise.

OK Roger.

- What's he saying? - Get up. We're doing it again.

No! To hell with this! It's not what I came here for!

On your bikes!

Do not inflate it all at once.

That dinghy has been folded flat

and you've been sitting on it for a long time

and if you inflate it all at once,

it doesn't like it and can easily burst,

and then you are in the soup...

all understood?

Sysel, you try it.

My name is Mrtvy. He is Sysel.

What'd he say?

Murphy? Irish?

No, no Murphy. Mrtvy.

In Czech it means dead man.

Bedrich Deadman.

Didn't you hear what I said? Slowly, slowly!

You are dead, Sysel!

He says you're Myrtvy.

To take off.

To take off.

To take off.

Once again.

To take off.

Thanks.

May I keep her?

One week.

Try it, please.

To take off... to lend.

No, no, my dear. To land.

"To lend."

You must be careful about pronunciation.

To "lend" means something quite different.

Your friend...

your friend "lends" you his notebook.

He doesn't give it to you, because he wants it back,

but merely "lends" it to you. Do you understand?

No.

It means le... lend, stupid.

Shut it!

Let's try it again, shall we?

To lend...

To land!!

Open your mouth wider!

To land...

Excellent!

And now this "lend" of yours.

Ask your friend to lend you his notebook.

I lend your notebook, Sysel.

No, no, that's not right.

In that case you would have to use the word "borrow."
