Karel Duben

"I'm sitting one day making photo slides and suddenly I look out of the window - Olga. Jesus Christ. And I said, 'It's going to be a mess again.' So I go out and I say, 'Mrs Havlová, what are you doing here?' 'Well, I came...' She came with the dogs. I said, 'Mrs. Havlová, you see there are convicts here. You can't be here.' So she went, I didn't have to..., she went away."

"So I went to ask, and coincidence... I used to be a boxer and a pretty good one, as a young kid. And one of my biggest fans was in charge of staff there. Now you're going to laugh. When I got there, when I made up my mind and went in there, as I opened the door I said, 'Hello.' Honour the work - it wasn't greeting for me. He was looking at me, 'Karel, do you want to join us?' I said, 'Well, Mr. Kuba, I'd join you, but I've got this... I guess I can tell you, I've got this weird condition. And he said, 'Well, tell me, no...' I said, 'If I don't have to join the Communist Party.'"
