You could talk to Nadezhda in German.

She's an interpreter

between German and Russian.

I'm afraid I speak neither.

That's just like you Czechs!

First you don't like Germans,

then you don't like Russians.

It's not that.

I just have no head for languages.

Anyway, who cares how

they talk together?

Every Czech knows some Russian.

[ Speaking Russian ] Every

Czech can speak a bit of Russian.

- Except me.

- [ Russian ] Except him?

Nobody will suspect.

What's important here...

is for Maestro Louka to

know there'll be no tricks.

Divorce in six months. I

promise you, that's all.

A fake marriage. Nothing hidden.

Nadezhda has a little son.

And she's young.

And you could be her father.

- What would she do with you?

-She's right.

[ In Russian ] Tamara, tell him...

it will be like a real wedding.

She says it'll be like

on a real wedding, so...

we must have a reception

and a wedding night.

Everything normalish,

like a normal wedding.

- A wedding night?

- The first night, you'll sleep together.

But in different rooms...

to avoid suspicion in

case you're followed.

Waiter, another vodka, please.

[ Whispering Hoarsely

] The down payment.

Do you have any idea what

bribes cost in Russia?

Come here.

Don't even ask.

[''Wedding March'']

[ Paper Rustling, Pen Scratching ]

Franta, I'm amazed.

Congratulations. The best of luck.

She's a beauty. A real beauty!

Must you play everywhere?

[ Woman Singing ]

[ Chattering ]

[ Man Yelling, Crowd Cheers ]

[ Woman Giggles ]

[ Laughing ]

Friends!

[ Speaking Russian ] Friends!

I like my wife Nadezhda very much.

[ Russian ] I like my wife very

much. [ Czech ] But of course!

- I have just decided...

- [ Russian ] I decided...

that Nadezhda and I...

shall together enjoy a real...

and truly beautiful wedding night.

- [ Russian ] What did he say?

- [ Russian ] Some joke.

Because it would be a great pity...

if a Czech man denied...

his Russian wife

her unde-- undeni--

- undeniable right.

- [ Russian ] Translate, Tamara.

I promise tonight...

I'll be hot-blooded as

any Russian Don Juan.

[ Phone Ringing ]

[ Russian ] Go screw your mother!

I'll be... [ Coughs ]

- a real Casanova!

- They don't understand your jokes.

They're terrified.

That's how it should be.

Every bride should be

terrified on her wedding night.

The baby's coming.

The contractions have started.

[ Russian ] She's having a baby.

The contractions have started.

Broz, look after the children.

[ Chattering ]

[ Tape Falters ]

[ Sighs ]

Nadezhda Ivanovna.

Wife of mine.

[ Locks Click Shut ]

- New, isn't it?

- It's used, Mom.

It looks pretty new to me.

No rust anywhere.

These cars never rust.
