- I fear we've encountered a weir!

- What weir?

- The big one, by Charles Bridge.

- Is this boat insured?

- Of course.

- Where's the next weir?

- Near tvanice, but that one's hefty.

- Did he really say 50 years?

- Yes, but on 3 conditions.

That we sail to the North Pole at least once,

that we name the boat after his fiance

and that we name the first land

we discover after him.

What is his fiance called?

Lili, I think. Or Fifi?

Nonetheless they're about to separate.

He'll let us know when he

finds another fiance.

I decided to go on holiday to see my

grandpa, who used to run a power station.

Actually he was a member of any club

which had anything to do with electricity.

I loved visiting him at the power station

or at his home, which was 100% electrified.

It fascinated me as a boy and I must confess

that it keeps fascinating me until now.

The director wishes you the best of

health and sends you this brandy.

Gentlemen don't drink alcohol before noon.

Not even on holiday!

That is true.

But something terrible has happened!

Don't trifle with me, Saturnin.

Is it really that bad?

Yes. We have a saying: There's no

stopping a woman with a mission.

Aunt Katerina and Milou

have just arrived.

I do not mind

if he wants someone to serve him...

But I insist on Saturnin

not to behave like a lout to me!

Dear aunt, Saturnin was

invited to this house; unlike some.

Saturnin, you didn't greet aunt Katerina?

I clearly remember saying:

"My dear, how do you do."

No! He screw up his face and said:

"Oh dear, how do you do".

- So he did, then.

- This is dreadful!

- I'm going for a walk.

- I'll help the director in his garage.

Milou!

Welcome. Grandpa said he'd be long

dead before you got here.

He'll only die if his greedy heirs

finish him off.

Not this time. Grandpa wants to

accelerate his departure from this world.

This morning, Saturnin was

asked to teach grandpa jujitsu.

Breathe slowly and take the basic posture...

It may not be jujitsu, but

it might work on aunt Katerina.

- She's here as well?

- She's everywhere.

- Welcome. I'm not doing so well.

- But you look better.

How's the jujitsu going?

- Tumitsu, Saturnin?

- Haisatsu is better, sir.

Tumitsu is not bad, but

Haisatsu will be much more effective.

Haisatsu!

Are you all right?

I've got two broken legs, a few broken

ribs and concussion.

Oh no, I think I've

just sprained my ankle.

- What kind of hold is this?

- First aid, sir.

- Has Miss Terebov arrived?

- Which Miss Terebov?

My friend engineer Tereba's daughter.

A nice young lady.

I forgot to pack your tennis racket.

- Plaster is unwelcome on holiday, isn't it?

- Miss Barbora has arrived.
