Ludvík Jahn
- Ludvík Jahn: It's an odd thing: when you feel hatred for a woman, you suddenly begin to observe her as intently as if you loved her.
- Ludvík Jahn: Markéta was like the spirit of the times: naive, joyful, and strict. And I tried in vain to have her.
- Cenek: [referencing a mural he'd painted] Well, gentlemen, this is Alenka. She had her way with me when I was 16. She was an officer's prissy wife so she'd feel completely at home here. Here's another I did of her for you from behind. You see her royal backside, an imperial object. She truly loved it to be beaten. And I, fool that I was, didn't understand why.
- Ludvík Jahn: Why?
- Cenek: I know her by heart. She stood in the middle of the studio naked while her mother waited to hurry her home. That one, she was a whore. Oh, man! See that dot. It's from a cigarette. You see, gentlemen, this lady's sex was like an accordion. We could all fit in there with our wives and kids and grandparents.
- Ludvík Jahn: Helena, undress. Undress.
- Helena Zemánková: No, don't look at me. Don't look at me, please.
- Ludvík Jahn: I want to see you.
- Helena Zemánková: It's so bright in here.
- Ludvík Jahn: That's a good thing. Undress.
- Helena Zemánková: Ludvik. Ludvik. Come over here. Right now.
- Helena Zemánková: Pour me a drink. Pour me a drink. I want to be happy.
- Ludvík Jahn: You don't need vodka for that.
- Helena Zemánková: I just want some.
