Sit closer to the stove.

That's Azor.

Now I've got two guards.

Tea will be ready soon.

Tomorrow's Saturday.

I arranged the wedding without banns.

The priest will help register you...

in elary and with the parish.

I'd like to wash and go to bed.

Good night.

- This is ena Bojarov.

- Good morning.

Get out of here!

ena will dress you.

What for? I think I'm capable.

You need different clothes.

My clothes are fine.

- You can't get married in them.

- What's that supposed to mean?

You're all so sure I'm marrying Mr. Janda,

but maybe I'm not.

There's no other way.

Then I'll just go,

and your troubles will be over.

- You've got nowhere to go.

- Are you all mad, or am I dreaming?

You're not telling me

what I can and cannot do.

Sorry.

I told you to stay outside.

How will you make me?

There's no other way.

They wouldn't accept you.

Why don't we eat something?

Cheers.

What's that?

Clothes from the theater

group we had here.

You could use this wig and this dress...

or this one.

My clothes are fine.

I don't need to dress like a clown.

- You can't wear them.

- Why?

The local people...

and because of your hair, too.

My hair?

Wear this until your hair grows out.

They're coming!

Morning! Good morning!

I assume you don't have

a recent copy of your birth certificate?

Will you try to get one later?

I suppose you have no idea

what I'm to use to register you?

Your presence here in elary

is forcing me to commit fraud.

I hope, at least, you are aware of that.

I am in an unenviable position.

I can turn you in...

and endanger all those

who have helped you.

Or I can marry you

and pray that no one else turns you in.

God help you from being arrested.

Well, I hope you're single, at least.

At the ceremony,

I have to ask three questions.

I'd like the answers now.

"Do you enter into matrimony willingly?"

- Yes.

- Yes.

"Are you under pressure to marry?"

- No, not at all.

- Not at all.

"Do you wish to have offspring?"

What will you say before witnesses?

Yes.

Yes.

Fine.

I'd like to pray before the ceremony. Alone.

Thank you, Father. Thank you.

Forest, forest, oh, forest green

Come, lass, I'm home alone

Home alone, all are at mass

Come to my bed, come, my lass

Sorry, but I don't know

how to dance like this.

Don't worry, I'm drunk, too.

You have a fine wife, Joza!

You whore!

Stop that! Leave her alone!

Stay the hell out of it, you dirty slut.

He hit you again?

You should've killed him!

Can I sleep here?

The bench is hard.

I have to tell you something.

I was unfaithful to you.

Not today, before.

Down in dovHut'.

With Ira, the one you stayed with.

How could it matter?

She's used to sleeping with me.
