- As a student...

- Watch it, or we'll punch you up.

As a student I sold myself to the

state! Now, I'll choose my buyer.

The State's not so disgusting!

Who drives the nice cars?

People like us?

I can't bear to look at those success

men, their cars, their girls...

Wy can't I have all that now?

Must I wait until I'm old

to get such a car, such a girl?

I'll gladly give my life for

my country when I'm 5O. Not now!

In our cynical and

unidealistic generation...

...in spite of everything, romantic

impulses manifest themselves.

Win something by your own youthful

efforts, fight for something!

Even for cars and girls,

but not a pension at your age!

You've had 15 years of education

and you can't do one more year?

You've deprived someone

of a place!

Yes, it's disgusting!

I've broken down. Should I cry?

So I broke down.

But who's driving the good cars?

Men like us?

First see who they were before

they got those cars.

Defend yourself, wonder boy!

They want something from you!

We were four...

He's gone!

Now, we are three.

I don't have to play.

Take my money as a grant.

From me!

We don't know our individual

contributions from the first year.

How can we share out?

It's a lot,

we must play for it.

Winer takes all!

I want one thing clear.

If I win the piggy it's ours

- common property.

And you?

Do you play for all

or yourself?

Don't be shy!

If I win I'll take the lot!

I play for all.

Untie me.

Untie me...

let me say goodbye to you.

Untie me.

Feet off!

My bed!

See, I want a bed of my own,

to trample on. Not state property!

All my belongings go into

this suitcase.

In 1 O years you'll met to compare

your purchases.

That'll be your biography!

In 1 O years you'll arrive

where I am now.

I'm sparing myself 1 O years

gradual disillusion...

...surrender of ambition,

of ideals...

Another word and I'll smash you!

In our cynical

and unidealistic generation...

in spite of everything

romantic impulses manifest

themselves. We must...

We ought to join the

bloodstream of society!

You'll smash me?

Multiwitamin - to soothe your

jangling nerves!

Here, take the pack!

- And when they explode think...

- Of you lot?

No, what a bum you are!

At last you'll be able to lie

and look at the ceiling.

Aim well!

BECOME A BLOOD DONOR

Fellow students!

You know what blood is...

...and why you should be the

first to give it...

...so that you give aid even

before you qualify as doctors!

The last week of the Lent

is also Blooddonor Week!

You're the first volunteer.

Please, appeal to the others.

Christ gave his blood and life!

Give blood at least!

- Not this door!

- But here I...

Oh, it's you!

Yes, he's here.

I'm getting married.

- Got a pen?

- Father,

I'm getting married tomorrow.

Wipe your face.

Seal it.

You've been up too long today.

Do you need anything?

Now I'll have...

Deliver it today.

See that it's opened in

your presence.

I don't need anything...

I have television.

I broke down.

Can anyone else do better?

Are you a student?

Why have you come so late?

Put it away somewhere.

You must start at this end.

The steel wool.

I took you for a student,

but you didn't say...

- It's a joke.

- Please don't do any more.

Some students were to do the clearing,

you can't rely on anything.

Now, just let me think...

I don't know if I can tell

which one it is. Look for yourself.

There's only one, very old,

tsarist.

Judge?

My dear Judge...

...please take the cards

from Father's hands...

...and let him grip

the receiver instead.

To a dance?

But it's Easter Saturday.

Well, yes, I suppose

it's all right after midnight.

Other side of the bridge?

Oh, At the new place!

That'll be marvellous!

Will it be open?

Listen,

someone's come here from

the onsign...

...the one At the pensioners' home.

He worked it out exactly...

...he's returned the loan plus

the interest, 3OO exactly.

Perhaps you would prefer

to hale cash instead?

More than the repayment,

of course.

Five hundred?

- Six hundred?

- Now I begin to understand.

It's supposed to be

a present to me...

...on the occasion...

- I'll ring back.

There's a dentist next door

- take no notice.

Why such a face?

We've got a buyer for it,

haven't we?

There's some dirt

on your face...

there,

too...

You should wash.

You'll find it,

all will come off with this.

Best of all,

take a bath.

You'll have time to think

about the sabre...

I know what your game is!

But I'm in love,

I'm getting married!

What do you think you're

playing at,

switching off the lights?

I haven't,

there's a power failure.

How dare you take a handle

from there?

Maybe he deserves it!

- Got a cigarette?

- Yes,

but I haven't any matches.

There's an easier way.

It'll lose its temper,

it'll break, you'll see.

Now, what will you do?

The snow was my idea.

It's smouldering!

Those in favour,

raise their candles! Tank you!

Those against!

Please, miss!

You know that place the other

side of the bridge?

The New place?

Well, we could play a joke...

...on my friends from

the Academy...

I'm pretending that

I'm getting married tomorrow.

Now I have to meet them

there with my fiancee.

Wouldn't it be funny

if I showed them you?

After all you could be

my fiancee.

We could go to that place

together.

But I haven'f finished work yet.

But wait a moment, won't you?

- Still up, sisters?

- We're waiting for the resurrection.

Room 512 please.

Come and meet my fiancee. I'm

sitting here, feeling rather stupid.

At that place they won't let you

into without a tie.

I'll fetch her now.

Telephone for you.

How do you like her?

What?

What have you told her?

They've allerted us,

like an emergency service.

So that someone

who loses faith, like a leg...

...can find first aid here.

- I'm going to wait.

- Waiting costs money, too!

They wait, they get drunk,

and what can we do about it?

- I'm waiting for money, in a suitcase.

- That's worth waiting for.

I want to make an impression,

but I don't know about wines.

For 5O I'll call you Councellour,

1 OO Chief, 2OO Chairman,

5OO Minister.

- One hundred.

- Yes, chief?

Dirty!

Clean!

You have a chance

to give me a good start.

It's my first day.

You are alone,

you need friendship.

All the better if I could be Her...

The Girl Friend.

You'll discover everything here

for a single zloty.

A Slave.

I love my husband very much

but we've just quarrelled,

I told him I've had enough of him

and we haven't spoken for a week.

I don't know how it will end,

yet nothing...

All in good repair,

like the one beginning a new life!

He means me.

Sir,

I used to come here...

and drink drops from the glasses,

but now I have a wage!

Sir, I have a profession,

a secure existence.

Got a cigarette?

It's a special cigarette...

the last!

Ladies and gentlemen, all of us

are in the best of moods!

Those not here yet will
