arrive soon!

Lent ends at midnight.

We'll all have a good time!

Here's the famous...

And here's the one beginning

a new life!

Well, who else?

Our star!

Ladies and gentlemen,

our star!

She's not quite ready,

she's still in her bath!

Ladies and gentleman,

you can hear the splashing!

Something specially

for us?

No, I can't,

I haven't finished this yet.

We understand, the star isn't quite

ready... but a little something?

Please, leave me alone,

I'm tired.

It must be very tiring, we know

- but please, just for us!

Turn around, drop your mask

Retreat! To those days!

When you could have been

God knows where!

When you could have been

God knows who!

Now he, after evil days...

Or after something like youth...

Or love...

With hand to throat

he wants to begin again!

Longs again to be God

knows who!

With hand to throat

he wants to begin again!

Longs again to be God

knows who!

And he straightens his tie

I put snow in

but it still smoulders.

- What was that?

- Some cabaret numer.

I put snow in because

I couldn't open it.

- It's not worth putting out.

- Why carry it then?

To be different from those

who carry briefcases.

But you were afraid I might

go off with it, weren't you?

- Smells like a good cygar, Chief.

- It's a suitcase.

But a good one, Chief!

Ah, money has arrived!

Allow me, Madame...

your fur.

Was it a time bomb?

No...

a piece of cake fell inside.

They think you're mad!

Would it help to get the lady blind...

with our field glasses?

No, champagne when

everyone is here.

- As a clou.

- As a what?

It stopped mouldering.

Serve it at the end,

with a knife. As a clou!

- And what now?

- Change the tablecloth.

And then?

The usual.

I understand, Chief.

The bums are drinking away

their piggy bank!

The usual thing?

We are not regulars.

We'll give ourselves away

if we don't do better than that!

Dont't worry, I'll lend you some,

if your piggy runs out.

I could be dressed for clearing

the car. Do we have one?

- What's that?

- A clean cloth.

We have more than a car!

The first for the gate...

the second for the villa...

the third for the... garage.

The fourth for the car door...

the fifth for ignition...

- The sixth?

- I've forgotten.

How come?

I clean carpets in villas

- here's one of the moths.

Show me.

You could wash trains.

One of our crowd married

a Frenchman.

What is a Frenchman?

We don't say an engeneer

or a driver form France

- just a Frenchman!

She doesn't know his job,

she can't converse with him.

Or take his story, for instance.

Lately my life has ceased

to be a nightmare.

Why stare?

Because I haven't made good?

Where does it say everyone

has to make good?

How could you stoop to this

in your prime?

It was going to rain...

I was deep in thought...

And suddenly someone put into

my hand...

two zlotys.

A slight difference

of gesture...

...and what a consequence...

Sir,

I'll make a fortune out of this!

Please,

as a token of gratitude!

Sir, you're bound to buy

it in this shape!

It's them - don't look!

Now I'll tell you what they

said on the phone.

They're coming to smash

your face in.

- Afraid, Mister?

- Drop the formalities!

Afraid?

- Two beers.

- And invite him.

Chief?

Hide your boots under

the table!

Please, get my shoes

from my fur.

Cheaply dressed,

but reeks of money!

I'll smash him now!

I really love her!

Isn't she magnificent?

Would you love her without

her money?

We met on a tram,

love at first sight.

- You travel by tram?

- Occasionally.

- Don't be cynical!

- There was a questionnaire:

Your greatest day dream!

I said I dreamt of a record.

At least of Opel Rekord.

But our car is better

than a Rekord, eh?

I prefer an engine's roar

to a thudding heart!

I'm more interested in cylinder

valves than diseased mitrals.

What a ham!

Are you so much of a swine?

You want to gain 1 O years of life'

you'll lose 1 O years of youth!

Come on, let's be sociable.

Let's dance.

I can't.

Your boots show them

it's untrue.

What's true and what isn't?

Everything's untrue.

Only it's a pity we haven't

time to fall in love.

Everybody had to buy one!

Seven hundred!

For the sabre.

Eight hundred!

They paid for the beer.

And sait to tell you they'd

smash Chief's face anyway!

Where are you going?

- Defend yourself!

- Hallo! Divorced yet?

Defend yourself first!

- Divorced! And you?

- Getting married!

What if she had long fingers?

These youngsters are driving

licences but not cars!

The older you get the more

you need money!

Portrait photos are out!

Now it's Jesuses!

I enter a cottage and find

a space on the wall.

All I say is,, blessed by Christ".

Then a quick nail in the wall

and it's hanging up!

Then I ask for 35O zloties.

Then the peasant drags me to see

the dozens he's got already!

So I take mine down saying

,, they don't want you Jesus".

Even atheists fall for that.

I hang it back

and pocket the cash.

Disasters are profitable

for exhibitions. You know: Art!

Know what she was shouting?

Help!

Know this trick

for picking up girls?

What a headache!

Have you got an aspirin?

- If you get angry, you'll spoil

the fun. - The fun is over!

Do you know that man?

He's gone.

Where do you live?

Why? Let's say:

The young tramworkers' hostel.

What would our love be like?

Walks on frosty days...

student dances...

Do you know him?

- He's looking at you!

- Take it easy!

I'll qualify and be sent to work

where there are no trams.

- Who is he?

- My husband.

So what? Is he too short? Too old?

Not prepossessing enough?

- He looks as if he had to buy you...

- What do you know?

What, he was in the war?

Propellers were not made

to cool drunks!

They can make up their

own biographies,

war heroes... I'm three years

short of pretence!

At seven you could throw

a molotov cocktail - not at four!

That's him!

No, it isn't!

How can one tell

war heroes apart?

My father's like the one who

sells Girlfriend.

He was wonderful,

but after the war...

Sometimes I wisit my father,

he's a pensioner.

He bought back that sabre.

He wanted to give me something that...

Every sixth man died in the war.

They have their songs.

What are ours?

"I'll manage by myself?"

You are like this when

you are young!

Full like this bottle!

And you shake it.

You shake it, and it bubbles and

churns inside you. And then...

Remember, you'll die one day

and you won't be resurected!

Excuse me, they brought someone

in the ambulance...

- What name?

- Not long ago...

- Particulars!

- Girlfriend!

- Was it someone close to you?

- Wy do you say,, was it"?

Her father?

- I want to be a blood donor!

- Sorry,

I think you've just left a bar.

Come back after you've

slept it off.

That's the sort of blood

donor we get.

Let's look down on it all.

- On what?

- My students' hostel.

There'll be a dance there

this afternoon.

I'll wait for you at the

entrance at 5 o'clock.

You're so romantic
