Man: WATSON DOESN'T LIKE SOCCER . YEEAAAH ...
Man: AT LAST I CAN WATCH THE MATCH IN PEACE .
Man: GODDAMMIT !
Newscaster from television: WE INTERRUPT THE MATCH FOR A SPECIAL EDITION OF " CULTURE MAGAZINE "
Newscaster from television: AS EVERYONE KNOWS , OUR CULTURE IS IN A STATE OF DEEP CRISIS .
Newscaster from television: BUT TODAY IS A HISTORIC DAY IN THE HISTORY OF OUR ARTS , A REAL WATERSHED ! OUR MASTERS ARE BACK ! THEY HAVE COME TO US STRAIGHT FROM THE ERA OF ROMANTICISM , THE GREATEST EPOCH IN OUR CULTURAL HISTORY !
Newscaster from television: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THIS IS A SENSATION ON A WORLD SCALE ! ISN'T THAT RIGHT , MINISTER ?
MINISTER from television: YES . WE HAVE RESURRECTED THE MASTERS BY APPLYING WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL ANCIENT SLAVONIC METHODS , BASED ON THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES IN THE FIELD OF GENETICS .
MINISTER from television: HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENT - THE SO - CALLED RESURRECTOR .
MINISTER from television: WE IMPORTED MOST OF THE MATERIALS FROM ABROAD . WE HAD TO OPERATE DISCREETLY , AS THE FOREIGN AGENTS NEVER SLEEP .
MINISTER from television: OUR OPERATIONS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE , AND SO WE ARE COUNTING ON THE DEDICATION OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC .
Newscaster from television: DID YOU SUCCEED IN ASSEMBLING ALL THE PARTS , MINISTER ?
MINISTER from television (blowing smoke into the face of the newscaster): THAT WASN'T NECESSARY . OUR TECHNOLOGY ENABLES THE RESURRECTION OF AN INCOMPLETE BODY . OF COURSE THE SKULL IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING .
Newscaster from television: EXCUSE MY AUDACITY , BUT DOESN'T SMOKE DO HARM TO OUR MASTERS ?
MINISTER from television (blowing smoke into the face of the newscaster): NO , BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BREATHE .
Newscaster from television: THE MASTERS WILL GIVE US BEALITY AND TRUTH .
THEIR WORKS ARE IMMORTAL , AND NOW THEY TOO HAVE BEEN TORN FROM THE GRIP OF DEATH AND WILL BE WITH US FOREVER !
MINISTER from television: YES . EVEN THE REMOVAL OR DESTRUCTION OF THE RESURRECTOR DOES NOT CAUSE THEIR ANNIHILATION . THE MASTERS ARE PRACTICALLY IMMORTAL . UNLESS THERE WERE TO BE AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT INVOLVING AN IRON RAILING OR A SKEWER . BUT THAT'S SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE . WE ARE TAKING GREAT CARE OF THE MASTERS . ANYWAY , I CAN'T TALK ABOUT THAT IT'S A STATE SECRET .
Newscaster from television: AFTER THEIR EXPERIENCES IN THE WORLD BEYOND , THE MASTERS ARE BOUND TO CREATE EVEN BETTER , MORE MOVING WORKS THAN EVER ! ALL THANKS TO YOU , MINISTER .
Newscaster from television: WE PRESENT THE COMPOSER , THE PAINTER , AND THE POET !
MINISTER from television: WELL , I HOPE THAT WHEN IN THIRTY OR FORTY YEARS FROM NOW MY HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL LIFE COMES TO AN END , I TOO WILL BE RESURRECTED AS A REWARD FOR ALL MY GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS .
[Music emanating from television]
Man: WHAT A RACKET !
Newscaster from television: I AM ALWAYS MOVED WHEN I HEAR THE FUNERAL MARCH . IS THAT A WILLOW PIPE ?
MINISTER from television: PIPES MADE OF WILLOW ARE ONLY FIT FOR SHEPHERD BOYS . THAT ONE'S MADE OF BONE .
Newscaster from television: WHAT A STRANGE BRUSH . WHAT'S IT MADE OF ?
MINISTER from television: OUT OF HAIR AND BONE .
Newscaster from television: I REALIZE THE BALLPOINT WOULD BE TOO MODERN FOR THE MASTER , BUT WOULDN'T HE BE MORE COMFORTABLE WRITING WITH A PENCIL ?
MINISTER from television: NO ! PENCILS ARE OUT OF THE QUESTION ! NO SHARP WOODEN OBJECTS !
Man: YEEAAH ...
Man: WHAT A BORE ... I WONDER WHY THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY CRIME SHOWS ON TV LATELY ?
I'D HAVE A DRINK , BUT WATSON SAID THAT IF I GOT DRUNK I WOULDN'T LAST THREE MINUTES WITHOUT HIM YEEAAH ... I'M NOT DRINKING AND I'M NOT SMOKING , SO WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ME ?
[Label on a flask: THE BIG SLEEP]
Man: AND ALL THIS CULTURE AND ART EVERYWHERE . BORING ...
Newscaster from television: MASTER , WHAT ARE YOUR ARTISTIC PLANS FOR THE NEXT CENTURY ?
Newscaster from television: AND WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT SO - CALLED MODERN POETRY , MASTER ?
Newscaster from television: WELL , LADIES AND GENTLEMEN , THAT'S WHAT POETS ARE LIKE . AND MY GUEST IS A TOP - CLASS POET ALL RIGHT .
Master from television: My song lies cold within the grave , Blood it smells from underground And up it leaps , as vampires crave The BLOOD of any victims found .
MINISTER from television: WE MUST REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE BEEN MAKING USE OF OUR MASTERS ' WORKS FOR CENTURIES WITHOUT PAYING THEM ANY ROYALTIES . IF ALL THOSE FEES WERE COLLECTED , AND IF YOU ADDED THE INTEREST TOO , IT WOULD COME TO AN ENORMOUS SUM
MINISTER from television: BUT YOU CAN'T CONVERT ART INTO MONEY . WE MUST REPAY THEM , BUT IN A DIFFERENT WAY . WE HAVE SO MANY NATURAL RESOURCES ...
MINISTER from television: SO LET'S BE READY TO BE SELF - SACRIFICING , CITIZENS !
MINISTER from television: WHO KNOWS , MAYBE ONE OF YOU WILL BE CHOSEN !
Newscaster from television: THE WORKS OF OUR MASTERS ARE ENCHANTING .
Newscaster from television: CAPTIVATING .
Newscaster from television: HYPNOTIZING .
Man: ROTTEN OLD CRATE !
