Summary/Abstract: Jurica wanted to be Jack and that’s how the whole thing with the four of us began. Every day we would meet at the café under the film archives where it never was crowded, the place wasn’t hip. Jack gave us names; Joe, Jim and John, and we had to buy pipes and tobacco called Flying Dutchman, which ate up all of our monthly allowance. The pipes worthy to be hanging from our mouth were again chosen by Jack, and for that, as well as for tobacco, he had to travel all the way to Trieste where at that time everything one could brag about could be bought. We needed to find money for the trip too.
