I had a speech. I don’t have a speech
Polá?ek
nobody has a speech. sit down, brother
Horak

Hájek
bus at nine fourty. pool at ten. lunch at twelve. nothing else is asked of anyone tomorrow
Horak
ok
is anyone else awake
Polá?ek
everyone is awake, kid. the whole floor is awake. that is what tonight is
Horak
sorry about their goal. I keep replaying it
Polá?ek
the finish was clean, kid. there was no save in it. ask anyone who has ever stood where you stand
Novotny
you kept us in it twice before the half. that is the replay I am keeping
Hájek
no apologies on this channel tonight. that is a rule I am inventing right now and it is permanent
Mare?
proud of this squad. that is all. that is the whole message
Polá?ek
the fans stayed. forty minutes after the whistle, singing. somebody should tell them we lost
Novotny
they know. that’s why they stayed
does anyone want food. I still have my guy on the night staff. he does a goulash
Polá?ek
you met him three weeks ago
Novotny
we have history now
Hájek
order the goulash, Novotny. tonight the kitchen is open
?íma
one item tonight
the margin was an inch and the effort was ninety minutes wide, plus everything after the whistle that nobody measures. both go in the record. the record keeps what matters, and tonight it is full
sleep if it comes. breakfast happens either way. the committee stands adjourned until it is needed, which will be sooner than tonight believes
Hájek
no curfew tonight. sleep when it lets you. bus goes at nine forty whether we are poetic about it or not
night. all of you. proud is the word. it needs exercising
