Pastor. M-hmm . . . I hope you will think it all true and make up your mind once your heart is clear. (Takes his hat and turns to the principal.) Sir Principal, regarding other disputes . . . (Turns to the whole room present.) . . . We will discuss it at dinner. (Leaves; principal follows; Komar opens the door to the two of them.)
Jerman. Do open the window. (Walks towards the window.) Open it widely. Opens the window. For the smell to go away . . . (Takes a step to the Komar, who had already retrieved his own hat from the stand.) Halt, just a moment. Did you know I study the history of the Slovenian Nation?
Komar. (Looks at him, baffled.) Do not blame me . . .
Geni. You won't be writing it down in the mountains.
Jerman. Await my words . . . You won't miss the evening mass! Now I'm covering the history of Counter-reformation. At that time, they murdered half of all honest people of our lands; the other half went into exile. Only dirty animals remained . . . We are the ancestors of our forefathers.
Turns towards the door; Komar steps away; Geni and Lojzka take on their hats, stepping towards the door.
