Doma si nahlas zkou\u0161el r\u016fzn\u00e9 intonace, aby ka\u017ed\u00e9 slovo zn\u011blo p\u0159esn\u011b tak, jak ho autor zam\u00fd\u0161lel.

Kdy\u017e se tlak v\u00a0Praze stal nesnesiteln\u00fdm, unikal Eduard Cup\u00e1k na svou chalupu v\u00a0Brtnici u\u00a0Velk\u00fdch Popovic.

Na tomto m\u00edst\u011b se herec m\u011bnil v\u00a0n\u011bkoho jin\u00e9ho.

Dok\u00e1zal hodiny s\u00e1zet kv\u011btiny, upravovat skalku a\u00a0starat se o\u00a0sv\u00e9 psy. Byla to jeho forma vnit\u0159n\u00ed emigrace.

V\u00a0devades\u00e1t\u00fdch letech, kdy se pro mnoh\u00e9 kolegy otev\u0159ely nov\u00e9 obzory, z\u016fst\u00e1val Eduard Cup\u00e1k v\u011brn\u00fd sv\u00e9mu minimalismu.

Chalupa, ten \u201estar\u00fd ml\u00fdn\u201c, do kter\u00e9ho padly t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 v\u0161echny hercovy celo\u017eivotn\u00ed \u00faspory a\u00a0honor\u00e1\u0159e, se stala opakovan\u00fdm ter\u010dem zlod\u011bj\u016f.<\/p>\n
Byla vykradena hned n\u011bkolikr\u00e1t. Zmizely vz\u00e1cn\u00e9 staro\u017eitnosti, obrazy a\u00a0kusy n\u00e1bytku, kter\u00e9 Cup\u00e1k s\u00a0V\u00e1clavem roky pracn\u011b sh\u00e1n\u011bli a\u00a0restaurovali. \u201eBylo to pro n\u011bj stra\u0161n\u00e9, c\u00edtil se tam pak u\u017e jako v\u00a0ciz\u00edm,\u201c vzpom\u00ednali bl\u00edzc\u00ed.

Na po\u010d\u00e1tku devades\u00e1t\u00fdch let u\u017e byla situace kritick\u00e1. Herec, jeho\u017e hlas byl n\u00e1strojem nejjemn\u011bj\u0161\u00edch emoc\u00ed, se za\u010dal dusit. \u201eV posledn\u00edch letech u\u017e nemohl t\u00e9m\u011b\u0159 d\u00fdchat, mluven\u00ed ho neuv\u011b\u0159iteln\u011b vy\u010derp\u00e1valo,\u201c uv\u00e1d\u011bj\u00ed vzpom\u00ednky koleg\u016f.

Skon\u010dil na Bulovce. Mu\u017e, jeho\u017e hlas byl kdysi n\u00e1rodn\u00edm pokladem, u\u017e nemohl mluvit, byl napojen\u00fd na plicn\u00ed ventilaci.
