What happens

Marecek, Pass Me the Pen! (Czech: Marečku, podejte mi pero!) is a 1976 Czechoslovak comedy film directed by Oldřich Lipský. The film gained de facto cult status, many of its phrases and sentences becoming idiomatic in the Czech language, such as "Jak to chodí? – Chodí to výborně, ale neseje to." ("how does it work? – It works great, but it doesn't sow.") about a sowing machine. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
