Just to remind you,

this show is going out live.

We don't pick our noses,

we don't chat with our girlfriends.

If one of the participants

says something stupid

we don't make awkward faces.

They are not Nobel prize winners

but normal boys and girls, right?

So get ready,

we're going live in 10 seconds!

Turn your eyes here! 10... 9... 8...

...3... 2... 1!

Welcome to another edition

of Blind Date!

A show providing exceptional

experiences to millions of viewers

and helping our contestants find

the other half they've dreamed of.

Who today decided

to find the love of his life?

Let's meet Karol.

Tell me why you chose this show

to find the love of your life?

Be brave!

It's just that I'm...

shy, and...

as a result I'm not lucky in love

and I thought that

maybe you could help me find

the girl of my dreams.

He's a cream cake.

Don't you see he's making fun?

And Majka came here

for a philosophy lecture, right?

And now let me present

our three candidates!

Our first candidate: Dominika!

Candidate No 2:
Majka!

Candidate No 3:
Klara!

And now, question time!

Tell me, dear ladies,

what do you value most in a man.

Klara?

He should be well built, sexy,

and dress well.

Well, that counts me out!

Maja?

In men I value everything

they usually lack,

but most of all I don't like conceited

snobs who think they're amusing.

Who would you want to be in life?

I would like to remain who I am,

but if you prefer I can say

I want to be your footstool.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think our Karol...

I'm going out.

Beautiful, isn't she?

Please don't throw up in the bathtub.

...is ready to decide who

he wants to spend the evening with.

I choose...

I choose... number...

Number 2, Majka!

- You're like the plague.

- And you?

How about a kiss?

Of course.

So, where are you taking us?

We'll soon find out.

Here are two envelopes.

- Who is going to draw?

- Maybe Majka.

Oh no, I don't want to take the blame.

Your left with no choice.

Be my guest.

What can I say. Here goes.

Envelope number 1.

A luxurious, weekly cruise

on a yacht in Nice.

I'm being told it's in France.

You'll see, she's going to be trouble.

No sweat.

Are you happy?

Very.

We're going to have plenty of time

to rest from each other.

I will give up depilation and...

...petting.

Ladies and gentlemen,

let's hear it for Karol and Maja!

And now we move on to

Rafal and Victor.

I meant Victoria.

They spent a weekend

in Kamien Pomorski.

You're the reason I ended up here.

You distracted me and I lost the bet,

and now I have to spend

a week with you?

Jesus...

Why did you choose me?

It's not my fault to can't hear

when someone is calling you an a**hole.

What?

Is it your overinflated ego

or can't you read between the lines?

Hey!

So long.

In front of our very own eyes,

our friend, thanks to us,

became a popculture megastar.

Tomorrow you'll be on the front page

of Fakt, Superekspres the day after,

and after ending up on the web,

you won't even shake hands with us...

Karol, I hope that

that you'll give her one

once you're there.

I think she might be offended

if he didn't try.

She's okay.

I mean, she doesn't turn me on,

but I can see that she wants me,

so I'll be generous and...

A gentleman does not refuse.

I'm so sorry. It was an accident.

We're very sorry.

We'll pay for the cleaners, of course.

Kuba! Next time be careful.

My new trousers! Ruined!

- Did you get it?

- Yes.

Page 2.

Majka, not bad!

Can someone go instead of you?

Search the web and find yourself

your own superman.

Leave the guys already occupied alone.

Let's get one thing straight:

He's not her guy.

It's just a question of time.

Right?

What's up?

Don't go with him, please.

Don't worry, I'm a big girl.

I know...

- Will you see me off at the airport?

- The airport?

I got a great job offer in London.

The money is great, I can start

at once, so I'm flying over.

Will we see each other

before the flight?

- Are you there?

- Of course.

Please don't go with him.

Kuba, have a safe flight.

Are you jealous?

Sorry, that wasn't too delicate.

No comments.

You leave as strangers,

but shall return as a couple.

Are you playing the matchmaker?

No.

Kuba asked me not to go.

I bet he was jealous.

He and Damian had a quarrel.

Really? That's awesome.

So gays also quarrel?

I thought only heteros

suffered from a relationship crisis.

Done!

She's here.

Baby, what took you so long?

You knew we have to shoot

your fond hello.

You come out of the door

to your home...

- Good morning.

- Good morning...

You come out of the door

to your home...

But I don't live here.

We know where you live - zero romance.

For the time being, this is your home.

Where does she go? Right or left?

To the car.

Never mind.

Karol gets out, you say hello,

kissy kissy,

that's right, the you get in

and drive off. Clear?

Ready?

Camera!

Rolling!

Action!

Action!

Darling...

I'm so happy that we're

travelling together.

Let me help you.

Off we go!

What a Nenuphar...

It's going to be a long week.

Oh, I don't know. She seems a natural.

The camera likes her.

It doesn't like her.

"Hello darling, let me help you..."

Very amusing.

It's a way of getting

through this, right?

Listen. I won't do a thing to satisfy

that TV "conchita".

Conchita?

We have a week ahead of us.

Do you want it to turn sour?

We're staying in separate rooms.

I intend to sleep and read.

That shouldn't bother you, right?

I can even help

in the sleeping department.

Don't tire yourself.

I hardly ever get tired.

Okay. I give up.

When's your birthday?

In May.

I'll get you a new watch.

That was my fourth coffee.

Pity it wasn't fresh or hot.

- I know I'm late.

- That's better.

Nice weather, the sea, a meal together.

Life can be beautiful, right?

I'm beginning to appreciate it.

Really?

Well?

Have you finished proposing?

Then get dressed, children.

Time to go to work.

- What a horrible creature.

- I totally agree.

Battery loaded?

And two spare ones in the car.

I want a couple in love, you know.

In other words some boring trash.

- Got it?

- In a flash.

Don't try to be funny.

I'm the one who cracks

intelligent jokes. Understood?

In a flash.

Wait.

Legend has it,

that if you throw in a franc,

your wish will come true.

But I only have Euro.

Make a wish.

Where did you get them?

I just want your wishes to come true.

My turn.

An old legend?

Yes.

It's about 3 days old.

It was born when I found these old

francs in my grandmother's wardrobe.

Why?

What do you think?

This is the real thing.

Shall we disappear?

What the...

- For f***'s sake!

- Sorry.

Have you lost it?

A nut attacks my back,

the lovebirds have fled...

I said I'm sorry.

Where are they?

Go. Maybe we'll catch them

doing a quickie.

F***!

I could have married a haberdasher

instead of getting soaked

and living in a villa with a pool.

- F***!

- They're not there. Come on.

Don't touch me.
