Quotes 

• Jorka , Franta Lampa , Frantisek , Joza Trna , Bertin , Merry Widow , Zásinek , Ocenás , Zejvala : [singing]  Solo dancing on the floor, Some of us stand by the river, All of us would like to have, Our jug of beer all foaming white, We are happy at one table, Singing all together nicely, Clarinet, accordion, Playing all night long...

• Ocenás wife : You work so hard for nothing. People hate you and you work hard for them. They avoid you and you keep going on somewhere and you don't even know where. You're forcing them into something they don't want.

  Ocenás : One day, they'll understand that we meant well for them and that we did what's best for them, or at least for their children.

  Ocenás wife : The children will want something else.
