COUNTBRUNO BABELSBERG

GRAMMARSCHOOL OF ÖBUDA

Swifter, swifter,

Häflinger, sonny!

Our Hungarian homeland needs able-bodied

youths with a steely character!

Swifter now,

Häflinger!

Lick out my ear...

Headmaster sir, if you

please...

It's b flat, not b.

B flat. Of course...

Sure. Sure.

From the top, colleagues!

Epaminondas adeo fuit,

not erat...

...veritatis diligens,

not diligentis...

...ne ioco... mentiretur

This is grade three, sonny!

You'll learn your lesson...

For professor Béla Nyúl...

We regret to inform you that

due to space

restrictions we are not

inclined to publish your treatise

'Additions to Hannibal's Life Story'.

This is a scandal!

I'm setting you to

disciplinary action!

How on earth could a fire occur

in the school's science storage room?!

You are responsible

for this!

Headmaster Sir, please.

I was downstairs

at the reception!

Exactly my point!

Why weren't you here?!

Headmaster Sir!

You are a second-class servant,

man.

A second-class servant's

duty is to...

Headmaster Sir!

The science storage room caught fire!

Pardon me!

What do you say?

How will I stand in front of His

Excellency Count Bruno Babelsberg

to tell him how the stuffed

peacock burned

down in the science storage room?!

The very peacock that he's

donated to our school recently.

Do you think it'll suffice to

tell him that all the school

boasts is a stupid

second-class servant?!

Lack of

national pride.

We'll make sure to educate

further generations better.

That's right.

National pride.

What are you doing, you hapless fool?

Close it at once!

At once, sir!

Watch out!!

Everybody into the yard!

Close the door!!

The fire may spread!

Colleague Nyúl?

Where is colleague Nyúl?

Headmaster Sir... here is the

peacock!

They're saying he went into the

flames and saved it!

I saw it, I was upstairs!

I've yet to see such a brave man

even in the movies!

He risked his life!

So awesome!

Here he comes!

Hurray! Hurray!

Long live

Headmaster Ofenthaler!

Thank you! Thank you!

My friends! Hungarian patriots!

The Vestal flame of our patriotism,

the ancient glory of

our pure morality,

the unquenchable national

feeling burning within us,

the purity of our race,

and Christian morality that is

flaming in our souls,

these must be the solid foundations

of the future of our youth!

The Headmaster is a great man!

I heard that he saved you

too with the risk of his life.

Forgive me,

just four pieces, please.

Kindly put it all away!

We'll just put it on your tab.

Thank you very much,

Mr Vogelmayer.

Good bye!

Sorry...

Give my regards to

the family!

Be quiet!

What is this racket?

Kati! Reading that

Dekobra again?

If I see you do it once more,

I'll just...

Take it away from him, Rezsö!

But mom...

Really.

No, I won't give it away, Rezsö.

If I notice it once more, you'll

see what's coming to you...

Good Lord,

Béla!

Dear Béluska...

It's all right, Erzsike...

It's just my clothes...

You see, there was a

fire at school.

And well, the peacock...

There was a fire at school?

- Let me just see...

- Oh come on.

Did you hear that?

There was a fire at school.

Hi, Dad!

Hello there,

hi everyone!

What did you bring us?

It's... not until

after supper.

Your clothes are ruined

for sure...

Now you're forced to wear

your Sunday best.

Oh, you...

What's this?

The periodical replied regarding

my Hannibal treatise.

- Don't they want it either?

- No.

Well, come take

these rags off.

Does it hurt?

There was a fire at school!

Fire at school!

Give back my book, Rezsö.

I can't, Katóka.

Dear mum does not allow it.

You are a hypocrite!

You think I don't know why you

wash yourself so fervently?

A woman comes to meet you

tonight, meh!

But Katóka!

And this man of extraordinary

character was called Epaminondas.

Keep this name in mind:

Epaminondas.

He was selfless, honest,

and of death-defying courage.

And when he died, even his

enemies chronicled about him:

Epaminondas loved truth so much

that he never even lied as a jest.

The ancient Greeks knew that the

most crucial thing

in the world is honesty.

And now let's see

tomorrow's prep.

Oh my gosh, the chair. Bujtor!

We should tell him.

Professor!

Open your book on page 78...

Professor!

The headmaster wants you

in the office at once.

Now, immediately?

Yes, sir.

Till I return, you all practice

Daedalus and Icarus.

This case is unprecedented

in our school's history.

I was just informed on the phone

of our colleague Gruber.

He was rushed to a mental

asylum this morning.

Oy vey!

Did he go insane?

How did it happen?

He has very serious symptoms.

He threw all of his clothes,

even his undergarments

out of the window at

5 in the morning, thinking that

they are all poisoned...

Oy vey!

None of your oy vey's,

colleague Schwartz!

If I may ask so, okay?

Pardon me!

Gentlemen!

Way to drag politics

into this as usual.

This unfortunate event

prompts us all to

increase our vigilance.

We'll assign with Mr Gedeon

someone to guide Mr Gruber's

class towards the final exams.

A more serious question is the

study which our unfortunate

colleague was supposed to include

in our yearbook.

This cannot be deferred.

This study needs to be at the

printers by tomorrow the latest.

Perhaps he actually wrote it

before he...

He did not write it unfortunately.

All we found was the title written

on a piece of paper on his desk.

'Medieval floral songs as forerunners

of the Töhötöm movement'.

Maybe that's what drove him mad.

Please, gentlemen.

Who will undertake the writing

of the study?

If we must, we may change

its topic.

How about colleague Nyúl's

treatise about Hannibal?

That's good!

Hannibal.

Clearly a good one!

Hannibal indeed!

My dear Béla! Will you do it?

Gladly, Headmaster Sir.

Beautiful ricochet,

Headmaster Sir.

Look at the board, son.

How do we fare?

You are ahead with twenty-nine, sir!

Few men would be able to

catch up now!

Lola, why don't you get

a shingle bob cut?

They say short-haired women have

all the sex appeal!

Reverend, sir!

My husband is against it.

He says it doesn't fit

a decent woman.

2 ice coffees,

1 black coffee...

Flirting with the priest now?

I'll bash your face in!

Hello to all,

gentlemen!

My painted butterfly,

how can you not love me?

What is this?

Are you defiling the thunderstorm

that was the Marcia su Roma?

This is Mussolini's anthem!

In Rome.

At our place, it is

'My painted butterfly'.

Great minds encounter!

Jews...

Check!

Good day to you, Lola!

This is for you.

It has Ramón Novarro

on the cover!

Gimme!

Indeed, in Ben Hur!

You know that you resemble him...

We've a guest at spot 2,

Józsi is washing the dishes!

At your service, Monsieur!

Look at this neat move!

- May I make a phonecall?

- Yes, go ahead!

A double ice-cream!

Hello! Hello!

Get me across to

94-270 pronto!

I'll have some spare time

tomorrow, come before we close!

And the old chap?

I reckon he'll be away

playing cards.

Or I'll murder him till then.

You little Ramón Novarro...

Hello! Rising Trumpet?

Yes, it's me!

Nothing at the moment.

No, the school is empty.

The headmaster is called...

Mr Ofen...

Ofenthaler...

He's not at home.

The heck I know!

He's seeing some woman.

No one knows for sure!

What is it?

I can't hear you!

Wait!

All I know is that it's in

Squirrel Street.

Be calm, I'll get him.

Yes.

Secure me 2 columns, if I find

out anything, I'll call.

Good.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

I am Dr Alajos Ofenthaler,

the headmaster.

What a coincidence!

Pleased to meet you:

I'm Délteki, journalist.

- At your service!

Is Béla Nyúl

a teacher at your place?

Yes.

I would like to do

an interview with him.

As the papers wrote today,

congressman Muray addressed

the case of his Hannibal treatise

in an interpellation.

You mean it?

Yes, yes.

So this attracted such

a major attention?

Extraordinary attention.

I dare say it attracted

extraordinary attention.

Would you be so kind

as to tell me

the precise address

of Béla Nyúl?

Of course.

27 Squirrel street.

Thank you!

- At your service!

- No, at your service!

See you later!

Here you go! There it is!

...Then Árpád Muray, brackets

Töhötöm rose to speak.

At the time of our deadline,

he was still talking.

We'll include his exceptionally

interesting interpellation

in our next issue

tomorrow morning.

Gentlemen!

Have any of you

read this treatise?

Based on these three, with regards

to modern classical philology,

completely new

pieces of data,

it appears beyond reasonable doubt

that Hannibal did not die the way that

historiography thought until now,

meaning that he poisoned himself,

instead he fell victim to a

revolution in Carthage...

What the heck?

We need to clarify this:

A nationalist or

internationalist revolution?

The good kind of revolution.

An ancient revolution anyways.

If it'll do for a Töhötömist

congressman,

it will have to do

for you, right?

Excuse me, messieurs.

Did my wife tell you

where she went?

No, Monsieur...

Did she go away?

She did.

So... he fell victim

to a revolution,

when, by request of the aristocracy,

he sought to reform taxation.

A classic discovery.

- Monumental.

- Ingenious!

Yes, indeed.

Gentlemen, today is a great day.

Our beloved colleague Béla Nyúl,

an adept of classical philology,

has marched into the annals

of history.

- Long live!

Long live.

Thank you.

I'm so happy that we met,

Mr editor sir.

So in tomorrow morning's issue?

Yes.

This way?

No, this way, please.

I'll escort you.

Thank you.

Were you and the honourable Muray

good friends in your childhood?

We attended

grammar school together.

There was a time when we shared

the same desk.

You know how that is,

we horsed around too!

How nice!

It was a childhood friendship.

But it never continued on later.

Maybe now.

Yes.

- Goodbye then!

- At your service!

So tomorrow morning!

Yes, tomorrow morning!

Mr Gébics!

Professor!

You scared me!

Good evening!

I just came to Mr. Gébics's

for some nice pork chops.

He is not at home,

unfortunately.

Impossible.

You see?

Cheers!

Professor!

Good evening!

Congratulations!

Thank you!

Do you allow me to take

a photo for the papers

of you and your family tomorrow?

Readily, Mr. Bradács!

Thank you very much!

Again, congratulations!

Pleasant night to you!

Thank you, same to you.

Good evening, professor!

Mr Vogelmayer sends this.

Sonny... this is a mistake!

I ordered nothing.

I know that, still kindly

take it from me.

Good evening!

Who is it?

A thousand apologies.

It's Benjámin Schwartz,

my honourable lady.

Forgive me,

please open up!

It's a question of life

and death.

What on earth do you want?

I need a cigar,

the finest cigar possible!

You people have gone mad today!

First it's your headmaster,

now it's you!

Was Ofenthaler here?

What kind of cigar do you want?

A more expensive one than

Ofenthaler bought.

You know Béluska, the university

declines to have my son accepted.

Due to the numerus clausus policy.

It has a wonderful fragrance,

my dear Bénike.

What a wonderful fragrance!

Drink some more,

my dear Bénike!

Thank you, my dear Béluska!

You could put in a good word

with your friend for us.

My friend?

The honourable Muray.

The boy is such a decent one,

a math genius!

He multiplies 5 digit numbers

in his head!

Cheers!

Who was that?

Béni Schwartz.

He brought come cigars.

You see Erzsike, people are

good after all.

I always... told you so.

No more lunches made up of bread

and jam, Erzsike...

My name will be all over the

domestic press within weeks.

I hope you'll be promoted to a

higher wage bracket!

That's the least.

Perhaps the government will send

me to Carthage or Rome

so that I can research the

historical grounds in person!

Lt'll be amusing when Bruno

Babelsberg will keep asking

from anyone and everyone,

who is this person?

How come you never told me about

him?

Béla Nyúl is clearly academy

material, I'll say!

Academy!

Over the fabled sea...

We will be happy...

Over the fabled sea...

We hunger after kisses...

The old student is

ambling along...

Along, along...

God be with you,

old fellows...

Along, along...

Professor Nyúl!

I am Hannibal.

Your beloved Hannibal.

Hannibal!

Good evening, Mr Hannibal!

Good evening!

This is what I call a surprise...

Please, take a seat.

Nice place you have here!

Much cosier than the places of

our own schoolmasters...

Then again, they were

mostly slaves.

Your visit couldn't have come

at a better time!

Honestly, I never counted on it!

We need to stay quiet lest the

children wake up.

Tell me, would you answer a

question of mine?

With great pleasure.

It's an embarrassing question.

Perhaps you won't like reminding

yourself to it at all.

It might stir up

painful memories.

But for me it's important.

So how did you die after all?

A surprising question indeed.

How did I die?

Wait a bit, professor...

Wait a bit.

How was it?

Mr Hannibal?

Mr Hannibal, where have you gone?

Mr warlord, sir!

Forgive me, this always results

in an embarrassing moment.

If I fail to concentrate,

I always become invisible.

So... how was it?

How strange!

I don't remember.

Is this a crucial question

to you?

Very much so.

You see, based on

a variety of texts,

forgive me, but...

I reinterpret your death

in a novel manner.

I contradicted official world

history that the honourable

Minister of Culture has authorised

for 4th year pupils

of high schools.

And believe me, it's just

as bold an undertaking as

crossing the Alps with

200 elephants!

- So you are afraid?

- No, no.

I'd just like to make sure

it's true.

Ack, don't even mention.

That's the worst kind of fear

there is!

I know it from my own practice.

Let's be honest though, it's a

question of luck.

As far as I'm concerned...

How about offering me a cigar...

I apologize, I'm so rude...

have one.

I love this brand.

No doubt, true cigars

come from England.

Won't you light one?

Thank you, I have a lit one

already.

I almost set my bedsheets

on fire once!

I never told you why

I came actually.

I have a song stuck in my head,

and I don't know how it goes on.

Help me out, please!

Here it goes...

God with you fellows...

Along, along...

This road takes me

back to my homeland...

I'll become a philistine...

Yes!

Once again!

This road takes me

back to my homeland...

I'll become a philistine...

Along, along, along...

Let's bid farewell, fellows...

Good morning, Mr Vogelmayer!

Herr Professor!

I reviewed your credits

in the morning!

Professor...

You have a lot of debt.

I'm sure you understand: Until

you equalise your debt,

I cannot provide you

additional credits.

But Mr Vogelmayer!

An officer's wife, a knight's widow

always notices these things...

I always pegged him as

suspicious...

What a cowardly little fellow...

Good day to you, my

honourable lady.

See you later,

Agáta darling.

Cheers, sweetie.

Go ahead, professor...

Thank you, I won't have any

cigars today.

Has the Rising Trumpet daily

arrived yet?

- It has, here you are.

- Thank you.

SUBURBAN TEACHERINCITES A

REVOLUTION!

Onetime war prisoner Béla Nyúl is

Russia's agent

Árpád Muray (Töhötöm) offered a

rousing interpellation denouncing

traitors amidst lecturers...

Best regards.

What's more, Béla Nyúl has

exploited the vulnerable situtation of

our venerable school caused by an

unfortunate incident,

cunningly smuggling his repugnant

thoughts pregnant with

revolutionary ideas

into the yearbook!

Sirs, that is not true...

Headmaster Sir, you know it

the best that...

Are you questioning my words?

Dear colleagues, say something...

All of you were present.

Begging your pardon.

But to tell the truth, that's not

how it occurred.

Stay on topic, gentlemen!

Just 10 more minutes, my

train is leaving to Opatija.

What ties do you have

with Russia?

No tie whatsoever.

I'd like to know where you

obtained the data

related to your statement.

Sir, I was in Russian captivity,

and I found old Roman parchments

on the attic of a Kiev monastery.

Presumably originating from

the Library of Alexandria...

That's enough!

- He acknowledges the ties!

- I do not acknowledge them!

We don't care either way!

Colleague!

With your asserting of Carthage's

superiority over Rome,

you are propagating a global

Semitic dominance!

This translates to an atheistic

and internationalistic mudslinging

against the Christian

national genius!

As I found out today, Punic folks

belonged to the Semites.

That's right!

It's no accident that during the

fire you happened to save

the Neanderthal man's skull

from the flames.

This is eloquent testimony of

you being a hardliner materialist.

And a Darwinist.

Am I right, Reverend?

Well, apparently...

If I may, your excellence...

But the way I see it...

My dear colleague.

You are too young to think

independently of the Government.

I pose you the question...

Are you willing to revoke

the statements written

in your treatise?

No.

Just revoke them, Béla.

To err is human.

Revoke them, colleague.

To keep out of trouble.

I cannot revoke them.

What you're saying here are

all misconstruations.

I did not write a single word

about politics!

I wrote about Hannibal's

death and nothing else!

And if I am correct...

...this will be one of the

biggest discoveries

of modern classical philology.

I cannot revoke this!

Only if it is disproved

scientifically!

You are hereby subjected to

a disciplinary action

by our cultural ministry.

You are suspended of your

teaching position until

the end of the examination.

You'll either find him at

Nagybátony-Újlaki's, or

rather Titán constructions,

he is their director!

If only I knew how the yearbook

got to him...

Watch what you say to him, Béla!

And do not shout at him!

Do you promise?

You are so in love with

Rudolph Valentino!

Just so you know,

I despise him!!

Give it back!

You are in love!

What is this quarreling?

Piri took away one of my pictures!

Daddy, she's in love

with Rudolph Valentino!

I'm about to slap you!

Okay, see you later, children!

See you, daddy!

My dear Béluska, I have to tell you...

I sent it to Muray, I just wanted

to help out!

I thought that it would help!

Excuse me!

Is this the honourable

Muray's car?

No, it's the other one!

To hell with you...

What are you doing with

that sculpture?

For the pigeons... bread...

Anyone can say that.

You'd better watch out,

I've been watching you

for an hour now!

Officer!

Albert Apponyi had a false beard!

False indeed?

But we could see through it!

My ice-cream! My ice-cream!

To the Wave-bath!

My dear friend!

I did not mean to cause

you inconvenience.

I did not even read the...

thing.

Which battle was it again?

I received the interpellation

in a ready-made form.

Hello there,

your honourable ladyship!

Congratulations!

What can I say, my friend?

This is politics!

Remember when we studied Julius

Caesar who stabbed his own son?

Don't be scared.

We'll sort things out.

Listen, come visit me

at the Parliament!

There's a clear view

to the baths from there,

including the females-only section!

Are you still so bashful?

Holier-than-thou, are we?

Just a bit dodgy round the ears.

Béla! Béla!

Do you feel better?

I'll say, you scared me!

Did you have some seizure?

No. I can't swim.

Awesome!

He cannot swim!

And he comes to the Wave-bath

to have a bath!

Hilarious!

Let us drink onto this big fright!

Excuse me!

- I am Béla Nyúl.

- Oh yes, forgive me.

My best friend and

onetime classmate.

Anna Mária Anetta,

an artiste of the Moulin Rouge!

It's Mici to you!

Alright, come here!

Cheers to you both!

Looking at the little redhead?

A pretty little thing, huh?

Here, have one.

Béci, listen to me here.

Forget your miserable

professorial life!

I'll get a job for you at any of

my own companies!

Whenever you like it.

We've got everything here:

Export business, cheese factory,

funeral enterprise,

sorghum cultivation,

Heroes' Album,

you name it.

But I'd like to remain a teacher,

congressman sir.

Árpi: For you, it's simply Árpi.

Have you ever seen

such an idealist?

In fact, he was always like this.

Like this in his entire life.

Cheers then.

It'll be too much for me,

cong... Árpi.

Out of question!

We meet after 23 years of absence

and we're not supposed

have a few drinks?

Drink up!

Do you feel well yet?

I do.

This music is good enough.

Why don't we dance?

Come, professor,

let's have some fun!

Those were the good old times!

Béla, can you recall

Pálpusztai?

He was our classmaster.

Once I sawed the feet of his

chair and he thought

it was you!

And it was you whom he punished!

And you did not betray me.

He was my best friend

at all times.

My dear Béci!

Béci...

See where I brought you!

I met them

at the Duce's.

All of them are distinguished,

excellent fascists.

They will drain all the

marshland.

High time for us to drain own our

marshes as well.

Right?

We need to drain 'em.

If there is marsh to be found...

My painted butterfly...

The little bird singing in the tree...

Jesus...

Stop it!

What a diplomatic complication...

Don't be alarmed!

Cheers.

Who is it?

Open up!

My dear Rezsö, it's nighttime...

Open up!!

My husband is at home,

stop shouting!

Who's here with you?

Nobody.

My dear Rezsö...

what do you want?

My dear Rezsö, do not fret...

Please!

On what grounds...

do you dare... to...

Stop it!

Rezsö! Berci!

Just stop!

So then... there won't be any

trouble, my Árpi?

Don't even bother, old pal!

All miracles last three days!

Then all the world will

shut up about it.

I'll talk to the minister

tomorrow not to make a fuss.

There's a heatwave anyway.

No one gives a rat's arse

about such trifles right now!

Kiss my best friend!

One more time!

- Is there anybody here?

- Yes, please.

Could you kindly guide us to

Vestibule of Hell Street?

Of course, sir.

I am on my way there myself.

Come with me.

Where do you come from?

From Pomáz.

They start handing out the

welfare for soldiers' families

today, at 8 in the morning.

We would like to be first.

Interesting, we have received

the same honours.

Where did you receive

the Grand Silver?

At the breakthrough of Gorlice.

How interesting, I was wounded

there too.

In the May of 1915.

Same here.

They shot out my eyes

Look at that!

Go straight, and turn left

With patriotic salutation...

knight Árpád Muray

Don't cry, Erzsike!

You'll see, everything

will be all right.

Honestly, I wouldn't trade

places with the chap who

printed that atrocity.

Surely he must be an

overeager pupil of his masters.

Do you think it wasn't him?

I think he doesn't even know

about it.

They abused his name.

You know how that is.

Children, stop eating all that!

You won't be able to eat lunch!

Sure we will!

Leave some for the smaller ones!

Where are you going, Béla?

To find Muray.

I'll talk to him once more.

These gadgets look wonderful!

Gee daddy, you look

so nice and solemn.

Don't I just!

It's burned, Erzsike!

Do you know how a real cook

makes pancake?

- How?

- I saw it once.

Show me, daddy!

Very well.

Give it to me, Erzsi.

We put some fat into it.

Then the dough.

Not a big thing.

It's just a question of courage.

We let it fry for a few seconds.

When one side is done, whee,

we throw it.

And let the other side fry.

How smart you are, daddy.

See you later, children.

See you, Erzsike!

Take care, Béla!

Very well.

I'll be home by lunch.

Do some cocoa-filled ones,

Piri loves those.

Well, bye-bye.

Bye, daddy!

So I tell her:

My dear Aranka,

A true housekeeper has an easy

time with that too!

And I struck her butt as a joke!

Look at that!

He even put out his badges!

Check please!

At your service, Monsieur.

- 3 pints.

- 1,50.

Good day, Headmaster sir!

Hey, professor!

Józsi, bring my coat and hat!

- Are we going there?

- We are!

Gee!

Hannibal's coming!

- Good day, professor!

- Good day.

Well, Talabéri, are you studying

for your makeup exam?

Yes, professor! I went over

Epi... Epaminondas yesterday.

Very good.

Carry on with diligence!

Good day, professor!

He's going there!

Kind regards, Headmster!

Sensational issue!

Fresh pretzels!

...and it has a chariot race...

Professor!

Good day, professor!

All I want to tell you is...

You would still receive

a credit from us.

Thank you, Mr. Gébics!

You are very kind!

My acquaintance, Gittácska:

Professor Nyúl.

Good day, professor!

- Well, goodbye.

- See you.

Excuse me, sir!

Could you tell me the way

to the amphitheatre?

Kindly turn right,

go till the third corner,

turn left there, and you'll

spot it from there.

Thank you.

Bound to be a big show, huh?

A big one for sure.

Long live Muray!

My first thought at this camp which

I must shout out to the world is that

we in the Töhötöm Blood Alliance,

young folks unified as

brothers in arms,

who will safeguard

till the very end of times,

the purity of our race

and the ancient glory

of our morals,

with the Vestal flame

of our glowing patriotism

we shall carve onto the sky of

history with fiery brazen letters

that the God of Hungarians is

still alive!!

Long live Muray!

The era of slogans has come

to an end!

Racial protection of flesh

and blood is what

our present and future

belongs to!

And on the path of practical

racial protection,

our first step is to annihilate

all the Béla Nyúls,

these insidious little rats

gnawing away at the groundroots

of our Christian national morals,

and each of their allies!

Hurray!

Down with the revolutionary

provokers,

who wear the mask of honour,

but in reality they poison

our youth in words

and in writing!

I want to head this

great movement

which aims to erase from

public life everyone

who fails to appreciate the

far-reaching ideas

of our wide horizons!

Hurray!

Erase them!

Look! He's so cute as he's

standing there!

Long live professor Nyúl!!

Long live...

This moron is coming over!

What does he want here?

Erase them!

Honourable Muray!

This isn't what you

promised me yesterday!

What, what, what's this?

This is provocation!

That is Béla Nyúl, the Judas!

The revolutionary provoker!

Stop this!!

Brothers! Stop it!

Fricking hell,

what can we do now?!

Stop!

Lynch him!

People!

Stop!

People!

Brothers!

Quiet!

Brothers! Hungarian future

belongs to

the Töhötöm Alliance!

Because it's strong and

knows what it wants.

This is why our enemies dread us!

Hurray for the Töhötöm!

What do you intend to say?

As your friend I warn you to

think it over

what you want to say.

You have four children.

Hurray for the Töhötöm!

I call upon Béla Nyúl

to speak!

Gentlemen...

I am Béla Nyúl.

Suspended high school

Latin professor.

I wrote a treatise in which I

linked Hannibal's death

to a revolution in Carthage...

Stop!

Brothers!

Take it easy!

Let us hear the defendant through.

I admit that...

I made a mistake.

It was a mistake,

because Hannibal...

Hannibal could not be swept away

in a revolution.

Because the Vestal flame of

Hannibal's patriotism,

the ancient glory of his

pure morals,

kept a vigilant watch over the

national and Christian

morals of the Carthage youth.

Because the example of Hannibal,

the great racial protector,

the Punic warlord,

teaches us that...

Look! The congressman brother

is smiling!

...we should walk tall and with

spine at all times...

...to be unrelenting, and

uncompromising.

Because Carthage's groundroot was

founded on racial purity.

As the Honourable Muray put it

much more eloquently

than I could.

And Hannibal was clinging to this

very groundroot when he

wrote on the sky of history

with fiery letters:

The God of Hungarians

is still alive!

Long live professor Nyúl!!

Indeed!

If this Hannibal would still

live, he would belong

amongst us!

Hurray for Nyúl!

Hurray for Hannibal!

Hurray for Nyúl!

Hurray for Hannibal!

Hurray for Nyúl!

Hurray for Hannibal!

Hurray for Nyúl!

Hurray for Hannibal!

Hurray for Nyúl!

Hurray for Hannibal!

Hurray for Nyúl!

Hurray for Hannibal!

Hurray for Nyúl!

Hurray for Hannibal!

Hurray for Nyúl!

Hurray for Hannibal!

Erase them!

You moron!

Hurray for Hannibal!

Hurray for Nyúl!

Hurray for Hannibal!

Bound to be a representative

by next year!

And a member of the Academy!

Let us listen to Nyúl!

RHUMBA, THE NEWDANCE,

ENGULFS ALL OF BUDAPES T
