then made into violins and cellos,

string instruments of music.

- I m here being punished too.

- Punished?

Because like to... dance.

Mankind is a progeny evil,

stupid and criminal.

That man is here

for some reason too, right?

I'd say he was

university educated.

He taught

French literature and esthetics.

- How did you know?

- By his fingers.

And your eyes tell me

that you like the male species.

I like to dance,

and to go with whoever I please.

I knew right off

that she was from reform school,

or was one of those girls who

stands by Prague's Powder Tower.

And I longed

to slowly undress her.

If not in fact

then at least with my eyes.

I actually surprised

and I found it a good sign

that that young redhead

had awoken desire in me

after all those years.

You re a trainee so remember:

You see and hear nothing. Repeat!

I see nothing, I hear nothing.

Remember this too: You must

see and hear everything. Repeat!

I must see and hear everything.

Come on in, miss.

Hurry or you'll get wet. Come!

Please, have a seat.

Like a toddy? Here...

Go ahead.

Ah, it stopped raining.

- Thank you.

Long-legged Vlasticka,

the one with...

So i began to hear nothing

and yet hear everything,

to see everything

and yet see nothing.

And now I only wanted to hear

and see everything at Paradise.

What would you like, junior?

It was quite different from

what I'd been used to alone.

It was so forbiddingly beautiful

- What about my queen?

- Right away...

Is this how you wait tables?

How dare you!"

I won't listen to such slander.

- He ruined your dress.

- What business is it of yours?

- I'll have to pay for it.

- I want nothing from you.

Watch this...

For the check.

Come to Paradise tonight.

I bought a beautiful bouquet

of wild poppies.

The scent of raspberry

trailed behind her.

She stepped out in that
