Loves of a Blonde (1965)

Jan Vostrcil: Plukovník

Quotes 

• Plukovník : Look here, if we look at the map, then from our point of view it's not advantageous to put the army in this area, to have troops here. We understand your reasons.

  Pokorný : Yes, of course.

  Plukovník : We have the same duties and problems in the army too.

  Pokorný : You have yours and we have ours. Look at that. So, you have the map. That's your stand point, right? That's your point. But what you don't know is that some 2,000 girls live in this area. Girls without boyfriends. We've got 16 girls to every boy here. Girls are like rosebuds. You get me? That's youth. And youth needs what you used to need, Comrade Major, and myself, and the others too, see?

  Plukovník : In our youth.

  Pokorný : That's right. So you have your opinion and all you have is a map; but, I have the lives of all those young people. Think about it. A girl works in the plant for eight hours at the machine. She leaves the factory. Then what? She gets something to eat. Right? And then she has nobody to caress her. Nobody to kiss her. So, now think what happens if there's no war for 50 years. No war - which is what we're all fighting for, including yourself, Comrade Major. You're fighting for the same thing. What if there's no war for a hundred years?
