A hot air blew on them.Oto wanted Vlasta to dry.She asked him, "What did you mean by that? Why did you throw me in the night cold waters of the city river where people usually don't go like we did?"Oto explained: "You have had illusions about me. I'm a blond, blue-eyed, tall, and attractive boy. Yes, I'm perfect for a girl like you. But the world is not black or white. I'm perfect, but I'm poor. I wanted to show you how it is like with me. The night river waters are my poverty. And the restaurant is my perfect appearance and richness of personality. Although you got wet, I can dry you. I'm not black or white. Indeed, I'm black and white.""I'm watching the restaurant and feeling hungry.""It's too expensive for me . . . "
