WOMEN ON THE RUN

If you have dirty laundry, you put it in the laundry bin.

You sure those weights aren't too heavy for you, honey?

Yes.

Well, I don't want you to hurt yourself.

Mom, please.

I know.

Kuba, close the door. Who wants to hear this?

Homemade waterfall!

Get off that skateboard! You'll fall!

I won't!

You don't mind the noisy pot?

Not at all, we just turned up the volume.

Stop eating those cookies, we're having dinner soon.

Karel, could you pick up Petey from his science club tomorrow?

- What, me'? - Yeah, you.

You always pick him up.

Yeah but I have to go buy new shoes with Kuba tomorrow.

- Wait, tomorrow's Thursday. - And?

- I have football tennis. - You can miss one game.

There's only four of us, they'll be odd, what are they going to do?

- You can't go shopping on Friday? - I mean, I can.

Well there you go!

_ Mom? " Yes'?

Did you know that oysters can change genders whenever they want to?

I didn't, Petey. I'd love to be an oyster, though.

Don't worry, you just might become one.

In your next life.

Hi!

- I have just five minutes. - Just that?

Yeah, Kristyna called and said that she bought theatre tickets.

Can you lock it up somewhere?

- Come, Fanny. - Thank you. - Go to your spot.

I'd like to go to the theatre with you someday.

Come on, strip down. We don't have time.

Here, I'll help. There you go.

- What's that perfume? - I bought a new one.

Are you crazy? Do you know how good Kristyna's sense of smell is?

We have to spray over it.

Stay! Wait there!

There.

I justly buy the same perfume for both of you, so you'll use it. Yeah?

But your wife is the one who picks it.

Please, it smells nice.

Good. Let's do it. Quick.

- Would you want me like this? - Fat?

No, pregnant.

There you go again.

It's not me.

It's my body.

Because the gynecologist said it's high time to get started.

The best of the best comes running through the marathon gate, Emil Zatopek.

70,000 spectators on the stands chanting one name.

With a lead of more than one kilometer,

the three-time winner tore the finish line ribbon.

He achieved a great, unbelievable victory in record time...

Run a marathon.

Vera, can you put it on the list, please?

Run a marathon.

Dad didn't want to be at a cemetery.

He said to dig a hole in our cottage's backyard,

pour his ashes in there and plant a tree on top of him.

Its roots will become his roots.

When I die, pour me out by the roots, too.

So Dad and I can be together again.

But before we lay Dad down to rest, we should fulfill his final wish.

Run a marathon.

- What? - Excuse me?

A marathon? How do you want to do that?

We'll put him in a backpack and run along.

Are you being serious, Mom?

We'll be running with Dad on our back?

He used to carry you around on his back, too.

How long is it, anyway?

- 42 kilometers and 195 meters. - So long?

Well, we'll run it as a relay.

A little over 10,5 kilometers for each of us.

I already signed us up. Look.

- He'll have it officially verified. - Great.

The run's in three months, so we'll have enough time for training.

Mom, I have a job and three kids and a husband at home.

I have zero time for training.

At school, I gave up on a 12-minute run after 10 seconds.

I'm not physically designed for running. Sorry.

Well, and I finally managed to convince Jirka to try for a baby.

- No! - Yes.

- What good news! - Congratulations! - Thanks.

So I'm definitely not going to be running any time soon.

- I'll be running alone, then. - Mom, the whole thing is nonsense.

- Yeah, exactly. - No, it's not nonsense to me.

I'll fulfill Dad's Wish.

With or without you.

Oh, you're here already. I thought you'd be back later.

The young lady came by to pick out something original for her apartment.

- Would you want to try it in a trio? - Well?

- Well, I wanted to. - There you go.

But differently.

- I'm missing just the - I'm missing the

Damn.

Can you stop with that stupid game and eat normally?

Why? It's fun.

Yeah, it's great fun to find "shit" in soup and teach it to a little boy.

Please, he's known the word for a long time now.

- Right? - Yeah!

He shouldn't look for it in soup, though.

Stop being angry and play with us! I know you'll like it.

I have more important things on my mind-

Yes! I got it!

- Won again! - You snake.

You failed writing at school but you find shit first.

Congratulations. Enjoy the meal.

I got it boys! I'm second! Woo!

Who's going to be third?

Chill out. You did good to bail on that running thing.

Huh.

Wouldn't have managed to do it anyway.

- Why do you think that? - You can't even run to catch the tram.

- What are you saying? - It's true.

- Mom, you can run? - Of course I can run, darling.

- Well I've never seen you run. - Neither have I.

Same here.

- Show us! - Yeah, show us!

- Show us! - Show us, Morn!

Show us, Mom! Show us, Mom!

Mom is a runner!

- Mom is a frontrunner! Yeah! - Mom is a mother!

Well there you go. Run into the bathroom. The laundry's done.

- I heard it too. - Laundry's calling!

You know what? I'll show you.

I'm not going to run to get the laundry from the bathroom. You will.

Because I'm going to train with Grandma.

- Wait, are you serious? - I am serious.

Laundry's calling.

"Shit."

You lost.

Can I stay with you for a while?

Thank you. Have a nice day!

- What are you doing here, Mom? - Marcela and Bara are both going to run!

They changed their minds! You're the only one missing.

I wasn't built for running and that's how I'll stay.

- At least try. - No.

Look.

- What is that? - A sports bra.

I bought them for all of us. This one's for you.

- Running will be a breeze in this. - But I'm not running!

The worst thing that can happen to a woman while running is sore breasts.

God, Mom.

- What are you doing? - I already put it on. Look!

- It's as if they're nailed to me! - Please stop being embarrassing.

A woman should look good in any situation.

You're absolutely right. Hello.

Katerina, be a dear and make some coffee.

- Espresso? - Well, yes. You know what I like.

- I do. - Thank you.

- You're sleeping with him? - No.

Others may be convinced but not your mom.

You're breaking three basic rules. Don't sleep with your boss,

don't dip your pen in company ink, and stay away from married men!

Can you please keep your advice to yourself? Thank you.

- You should run him out of your head. - Give me a break with the running thing.

I'm not going to do it! And can you go? I need to be working.

Yes? Hello!

Yes, of course we can help you.

I'll look it up and call you in a minute, okay? Goodbye.

I'll run her section instead of her.

- I knew she wouldn't change her mind. - I would be amazed if she did.

Same here.

Katerina!

I'll only try, though.

- It's good! - Yeah? - This is nice.

Thank you, have a good day!

Thanks, goodbye! Oh, I just remembered.

- Do you have backpacks? - Yes, of course.

- How big should it be? - Large enough to fit Jindrich.

Your dog.

No, my husband.

Oh, and how big is your husband, roughly?

I can't believe this...

The European beaver is a large rodent

with thick fur.

Did you know that there are various types of beavers?

- Really? - I'm back!

What's that horrible smell?

It's nothing.

Kuba was playing on his phone and his goulash got burnt.

Don't worry, we had buttered bread.

You let Kuba heat up the goulash?

That's what he got assigned. I was supposed to take care of the laundry.

This laundry?

No, the laundry I hung up.

The laundry you hung up so well that it ended up on the ground out front?

- Really? - Really.

- You didn't use pins? - Of course I used pins.
