En: Martina interrupted him.

Sk: "Prepáčte, ale tiež som si ju chcela kúpiť.
En: "Excuse me, but I also wanted to buy it.

Sk: Milujem takéto kombinácie historického textu a vedy.
En: I love such combinations of historical text and science."

Sk: "Obaja stáli pred jedinou kópiou knihy.
En: Both stood before the single copy of the book.

Sk: Museli sa rozhodnúť.
En: They had to decide.

Sk: Budú súperiť?
En: Would they compete?

Sk: Ladislav objavil čaro spolupráce mimo svojej oblasti.
En: Ladislav discovered the charm of collaboration outside his field.

Sk: Martina získala nový pohľad na vedecké metódy.
En: Martina gained a new perspective on scientific methods.

Sk: Múzeum už nikdy nebolo také obyčajné ako predtým.
En: The museum was never as ordinary as before.

Sk: Letné dni trávili v knižnici alebo na kávach, diskutujúc o svojich objavoch.
En: They spent summer days in the library or at cafés, discussing their discoveries.

Sk: Z ich spoločnej práce sa zrodilo priateľstvo a vášeň pre vedu aj literatúru.
En: From their joint work, a friendship and a passion for both science and literature were born.

Sk: Bratislava Science Museum sa stalo miestom, kde začali nový príbeh.
En: The Bratislava Science Museum became the place where they started a new story.

Sk: Príbeh plný spolupráce a spoločného učenia.
