A JEW אההה… כמה טוב שרכשנו את מושג האומה…
Oh, God bless the concept of a nation introduced by humankind!
Everyone laughs.
A BELARUSIAN Але ж палякаў шкада. Шкада, што ўва ўсім заўжды вінавацяць палякаў.
But I feel really sorry for the Poles. They are always blamed for everything.
A JEW נוווו, מה לומר, בהכל ותמיד…
Well, I wouldn’t say that they’re always blamed for everything…
A BELARUSIAN Вам да іх далёка…
But you can’t even compare to them.
A JEW ואתה?
Really? Can you?
A UKRAINIAN Дорогі товариші! Перші націонал-екзистенційні ігри оголошуються відкритими!
Dear comrades! The first national existential games are declared open!
Everyone laughs.
A BELARUSIAN Але ж не самае належнае выкарыстанне панятка «экзістэнцыяльны»…
However, that’s not really the correct use of the term “existential”.
A UKRAINIAN Так мені до сракі.
I don’t give a fuck.
Everyone laughs. They sit in silence for a while.
A JEW נסנסים יהודי, בלארוסי ואוקראינית למסעדה ושם אומרים להם:…
A Jew, Belarusian and Ukrainian enter a restaurant and hear…
A UKRAINIAN (перебивая) Розстріляти!
(interrupts the Jew) “Shoot them down!”
Everyone laughs.
A BELARUSIAN (сур’ёзна) Толькі б лагер.
(seriously) I wish they took us to the concentration camp.
