Should We Invite Vacín?
Pavla: Hey, have you heard of Terlon?
Magda: No, what is it?
Pavla: It’s this really hot band. The frontman is really something. He was at my brother’s yesterday. Apparently he gives lectures as well! I was surprised. I was saying that we should invite him to our school.
Magda: Lectures? That’s a bit unusual, isn’t it, a singer giving lectures? What are they about?
Pavla: He talks about how he sees the world, and how he thinks things should be in this country.
Jožo is sitting off to one side. He joins the conversation.
Jožo: Are you talking about Vacín? I’ll tell you what his lectures are about! He’s got a clear vision for this country, alright – the only Czech are white Czechs, the Roma and foreigners are parasites, we’ve got the final solution for them, the Jews control the world, there were never any gas chambers – he’s a proper Nazi!
Magda: Wait, how do you know? That’s a bit steep, don’t you think?
Jožo: I know him a bit. He studies history, he sings, he writes for a Nazi website, and now he’s trying to penetrate the schools.
Magda: And how do you know what he sings about?
Jožo: I was curious, so I found out some information. Don’t you remember how Terlon performed on the square last year at a Nazi demonstration, and how it ended? The Nazis got so worked up that they couldn’t be contained in the square, and they started marching on the housing lodge for foreigners on Čechovka. It was only because the police were there that nothing happened.
Magda: Wait, you’re mixing two things up there. And also, we’ve only got your word that that’s the way he sees things. Pavla’s offered to invite him to give a lecture. I think he should come, and then at least we can make our own minds up, no?
Pavla: And besides, what he sings about is one thing, but when you talk to him he really seems to know what he’s saying.
Jožo: Yeah, he knows what he’s saying all right. And that’s too bad. Are you two nuts? If you don’t believe me then read a couple of his articles, that way you’ll find out what he’s really saying. Now he wants to use our school? That kind of person has no business talking in any school!
