Ten o'clock! Closing up!
Gentlemen, please!
Just wait a bit for Valuska
to show us.
Leave it out!
Valuska. Come on.
Show us.
Let's make some room for Valuska
to show us!
You are the Sun.
The Sun doesn't move.
This is what it does.
You are the Earth.
The Earth is here for a start
and then the Earth moves
around the Sun.
And now...
we'll have an explanation
can also understand
about immortality.
All I ask is that you step with me
into the boundlessness
where constancy,
quietude
and peace,
infinite emptiness reign.
And just imagine that
in this infinite sonorous silence
everywhere
is an impenetrable darkness.
Here we only experience
general motion
and at first we don't notice
the events we are witnessing.
The brilliant light of the Sun
always sheds its heat and light
on that side of the Earth
which is just then turned towards it.
And we stand here
in its brilliance.
This is the Moon.
The Moon revolves around the Earth.
What is happening?
We suddenly see
that the disc of the Moon,
the disc of the Moon...
on the Sun's flaming sphere
makes an indentation
and this indentation,
the dark shadow, grows bigger...
and bigger.
And as it covers more and more,
slowly, only a narrow crescent
of the Sun remains,
a dazzling crescent.
And at the next moment...
the next moment, say that
it's around one in the afternoon,
a most dramatic
turn of events occurs.
At that moment...
Can you feel it?
The sky darkens
and then goes all dark.
The dogs howl,
rabbits hunch down,
the deer run in panic,
run, stampede in fright.
And in this awful,
incomprehensible dusk
even the birds...
the birds too are confused
and go to roost.
And then... complete silence.
Everything that lives is still.
Are the hills going to march off?
Will Heaven fall upon us?
We don't know.
We don't know,
for a total eclipse has come upon us.
But...
but no need to fear, it's not over.
For across the Sun's glowing sphere
slowly the Moon swims away.
And the Sun once again bursts forth
and to the Earth slowly
and warmth again floods the Earth.
Deep emotion pierces everyone.
They have escaped
the weight of darkness.
That's enough! Out of here,
you tubs of beer!
But Mr Hagelmayer,
it's still not over.
Mr Eszter!
Mr Eszter!
Uncle Gyuri come on.
You're getting cold.
Please come.
Your socks too.
Sleep well.
FANTASTIC:
THE WORLD'S LARGEST GIANT WHALE!
GUEST STAR:
THE PRINCEGood evening.
You're late today, Jnos.
How's Jnos?
How are things in the cosmos?
Everything is fine.
Thanks.
Family tragedies
come in succession.
One just after the other.
of itself. They simply disappear.
And nobody knows anything about it.
Now don 't tell me that this is
normal. A normal proceeding.
The world has gone completely mad.
Now it's not down here but up there
where something's gone wrong.
For in November
the Radio says that it's 17 below.
There's a shortage of coal
and then to top it all.
There's the arrival of the circus.
They're bringing that horrible
great whale, and that Prince.
All of ten kilos.
They say he's carried in their arms,
has to be.
And for that matter,
he's got three eyes.
I don't know if that's true or not.
They say that he's taken
from town to town
and makes that godless,
monstrous speech.
Nobody knows for sure.
Even those who were there
