Before Sunrise
Viennese 1: This is a play we're both in, and we would like to invite you.
Céline: You're actors?
Viennese 1: No, not professional actors, uh, part-time actors, for fun.

A communist-era Hungarian cop joke
Police find a mugging victim lying in his own blood along the Danube walking path, and ask, “Why were you screaming, ‘Down with Kádár! Down with the regime!’” Man replies, “If I yelled that I’d been stabbed, you wouldn’t have come.”
