Quotes
-
Maj. Hugo : What could be greater than an eternally blue sky and blood-filled passions?
-
Maj. Hugo : As far as I can tell, your satisfaction comes from having the last word.
Antonín Dura : Better to have the last word than the last blow.

Maj. Hugo : Let's eat and drink, bring the food! Fatty cheese, venison, birds, lamb. All that is born live and all that hatches from an egg. Bring all edible that ripens, all that has fins, and all kinds of crustaceans eating in civilized countries. Bring it here, it's daytime, the earth has turned and it's time to eat.
Priest : Major, have you become a glutton or a talker? Do you wish to show off your teeth or your tongue?
-
Antonín Dura : The nights are delightful and the days are worthless. Why is that so, Father?
Priest : I think it's because you are a great sinner, and this nasty, windy weather every day is the punishment of heaven.
Antonín Dura : The devil it is! There were times when we sinned all we wanted and the sun kept shining. It's something else, I believe.
Maj. Hugo : The attraction of the sexes is older than the rocks and the sea, yet that's no reason for a deluge the arrive.

Katerina Durová : They deceived me by drenching their clothes!
Priest : Look at Antonin. Do you think this oaf could win such a pretty girl? Are you sure it was the magician's Anna?
Maj. Hugo : Canon Roch is right. Maybe it was a granny picking mushrooms. Your husband tends to be unchaste, but he's old now.
Katerina Durová : I know him better than anyone how old he is. But this slut did not come from mushrooms.
-
Maj. Hugo : It's only noble and great to die on the battlefield. But poets tend to be poor warriors.
