TRANSCRIPT (DIALOGUE)

Original transcript in Serbian

Tihomir Vujičić: All right then, let us say our gratitude to all who are present here, to the hostess and to our dear guests. And to move apart in such promise that they will recall lyrics and melodies in the closest future, which means, in ten days. Unfortunately, tomorrow I have to go to the homeland of my ancestors, to Baranya (Baranja), and I can no longer be here.  I should also rest and be in my mind when I come there, but I am asking my hosts to be in mind as well and to recall as such what they already know that I am asking for, and what they know themselves: firstly, that I am theirs, and secondly, that what I am asking for, beside them and beside myself, no one will know any more, if we do not save it for future. For that, I thank them in advance. 

Female informant: Drink, then you’ll be in a good mood!

T.V.: Thank you, I drink and will!
