She's the reason I lost the bet, right?

I didn't know

we're on a first name basis.

Another inheritance?

Enough to give you a tip.

Majka.

It would be nice if you could remember.

Oh, I will... Mala.

A**hole.

Kuba? 8 beers.

What?

Nothing.

The surprise bet.

Well, well...

If you have to trust someone

on clothes, trust a gay.

He must have spent a fortune.

Pure give back. I gave him

an iPhone for his birthday.

Okay, let's see it.

Turn around.

Beautiful, you look really beautiful.

You'd better put it on.

The taxi will be here soon.

We'll be there before 10.

Your hiding something from me.

Out with it.

We don't know anything.

Maybe when we arrive

we'll find out something.

- Another gypsy with a deck of cards.

- Exactly.

Good morning ladies.

The rest of the way by foot, please.

- Gypsies always lie!

- Get out of the car!

Do you know what it took to get you

into the qualification stage?

How many paid text messages

I had to send?

- You lied to me.

- I know.

But I really think

this may change your life.

This may prevent you from getting

into another fix.

Maybe something will happen which will

bring back the smile on your face.

Do you think that we don't hear

your crying each night?

Am I really that loud?

Guess.

Each group sticks to its hostess.

Girls, lift your hands up.

Can you see them? Yes?

Good. You will fill in the form

using capital letters...

Okay. You wanted well

but it turned out as always.

Let's go and forget the whole thing.

The fine line of ridicule

has been crossed. Let's split.

Alright. Numbers 620

to 640 to the studio.

Follow me, please.

Go on, go.

We'll keep our fingers crossed.

Everything will be fine. You'll see.

Profile...

Great. Thank you. The remaining girls

please do the same.

Go.

Every girl answers the same questions.

The first question: Your interests.

- One at a time!

- Beginning from the left or right?

- Left.

- Your left or our left?

My left!

Please.

- You begin.

- But, what am I to begin?

Begin answering!

Answering what?

Excuse me, but maybe

it's worth repeating the question?

What are your interests.

..."Baby" goes first.

I'm interested in psychology.

Particularly close to my heart

are environmental protection issues,

and my dream is

that mankind be happy

and peace reign on Earth.

Number 633...

...Baby has qualified.

I'm also interested in psychology.

We'll get in touch

regarding the date of the recording.

Am I free to go?

No! Baby sits with the rest

and leaves with the rest! Understood?

Of course, ma'am.

Okay. One at a time from the left.

Your interests.

I'm interested in psychology,

and room on Earth...

I mean peace on Earth.

Number 613...

...qualified.

Believe me. It was so stupid

that it was even funny.

When the director, or producer,

told me that I qualified, I sort of...

Felt good?

Yes.

I thought to myself:

I'm not that bad after all.

But you're fantastic in every way.

Beautiful, nice, intelligent.

And you can always be counted on.

Say that again.

I meant every word.

You say that because you're my friend.

But I love you anyway.

I love you also.

One more thing...

Kuba?

How do you intend

to solve this problem?

If only I knew how.

Look.

Majka!

Hi.

Cezary?

- Yes.

- Read it.

- Don't read it.

- Why?

- I'll delete it.

- Oh, okay. Read it.

My darling,

I know now, that the World

was good to me, when I was with you.

I know I hurt you, but I will

dedicate the rest of my life

to make it up to you.

I will be waiting

in our cafe on Thursday

at 4 pm.

If you don't turn up,

I'm leaving this country for good.

Always yours, Cezary.

It's a game, you know that?

A game to seduce you, again.

Why don't you wake up.

He wasted two years of your life.

And he wasted them in style.

He lied, cheated on you,

made promises he didn't keep.

After two years you were

just a shadow of yourself.

Let's see who it is.

Cezary again. What a surprise.

Go on, read it.

Read it, send a reply...

Do you know what the prize is?

I don't and won't know,

because I'm not going.

Oh? So your giving up?

Despite qualifying with flying colors.

Yes, and that's enough.

I understand and support her.

But what if the prize is

a trip to another continent?

And what if I have to go there

with some a**hole?

If it were me,

I would go there even with

your psychopath fiance.

Stop babbling.

One way or the other - I'm not going.

Miss Maja Linde?

- Yes.

- These are for you.

Thank you.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

What beautiful roses.

Did he write anything?

Is there a letter?

- Let me see it.

- No!

Are you crazy?

"Let's not waste time.

We have but only one life. I am...

I am now sure

I want to spend it with you.

My biggest mistake was letting you go".

Majka? Look.

Oh f***...

This is a blow below the belt.

Do you think they're real?

He doesn't go for imitations.

What's his game?

He probably just got dumped

and now needs to repair his ego.

Send it back.

Majka, you're not giving in, are you?

Remember that night in Vienna,

where he was supposed to have

a business meeting?

You found him in the hotel bar

with his arms around some rag.

And what about

his business trip to Milan?

You called him but his wife answered...

She told you they were on vacation

in Sirmione on the shores

of lake Garda,

and that you should stop

pestering them.

Of course, I remember...

Check him out.

I remember.

So you're the lady who phoned

when we were on vacation in Italy.

- In Sirmione.

- Correct.

We're planning to go together to Rome,

to get married at the Polish Consulate.

Dear Lord...

Another one.

Cezary will never divorce me.

He would be left with nothing.

All the assets are in my name,

so there's nothing to divide.

Cezary hasn't got anything.

Except a horde of lovers.

Do you think I don't know?

I've always known.

But it's me he returns to each time.

I'm sorry.

No need to be.

In that case this also belongs to you.

She should have kept it.

Hi.

Won't you join us?

You look beautiful.

I did it!

What are you regretting?

Illusions.

To be honest,

I don't regret a thing.

I was exceptional,

the best,

great...

Those were just lies.

I know, I know...

I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Is that a stain?

That's what you call a loyal customer.

No. That's a loaded jerk.

And acrobat.

I don't want to go.

Can't we change the bet?

No! You have to feel that you lost.

I hate you.

But I will face this challenge

with the aid of my natural charm

and sense of humor.

Surprise?

Where's the badge with your name?

In my pocket.

Pin it on.

I know my name, you do too,

so what's the fuss?

I don't recall us being

on a first name basis.

And vice versa, but you're so direct

so I thought it would be fun

to close the gap.

See ya Kinia.

Kinia? Did you hear that?

Why are you constantly picking on her?

Don't you see who she is?

A conceited bugger.

This is not an information program,

but an entertainment show, right?
