BRNO’S BEST #3
?íma
the Valenti file. I have watched four hours of tape and I have feelings
Novotny
tactical feelings?
?íma
mostly fear. he is unpredictable and also very fast, which is a rude combination. you don’t know what’s coming and then it has already happened
Ková?
you can delay it. don’t read him early. he sells the outside and takes the inside, and when you stop buying the outside he takes the outside. wait him out. he plays added time like it owes him money, so nothing is finished until the whistle. and don’t watch the feet. the feet are advertising
?íma
I asked for a paragraph and received a dossier. Ková? has nine points on one winger. the man has never once scouted his own mother this thoroughly
Ková?
the file writes itself
Novotny
the federation wanted Ková? talking about Valenti for the cameras. he gave them ninety seconds of weather and respect. the press officer looked bereaved
Ková?
she got what the format deserved
Polá?ek
are we actually ready for this
Hájek
we’re ready. all of us. I mean it
?íma
Hájek has declared readiness, and Hájek has been captain of every room he ever walked into, so that settles it
Mare?
early night. all of you. Wednesday is long
?íma
the tower has spoken. sleep, gentlemen. especially the ones who weren’t planning to
Ková?
I’ll sleep
?íma
that was very quick
Ková?
I’m a quick sleeper
?íma
mm
Novotny
nobody is a quick sleeper
Ková?
you have never watched me sleep
?íma
and yet somehow I know this is not where we want the chat to go
