to me it was an unforgettable

experience. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

- You went over the line.

- And who did the edit?

But you told me, that they f***ed.

Not that you f***ed him.

Do you believe me or her?

What do you think?

Oh f***! The boss!

We're screwed.

Let's give her a moment.

What a slut.

She didn't even sleep with him.

Maybe she should have.

What?

Well, if the b*tch was so satisfied.

It's all her doing.

He knew from the start.

Of course.

What!

And she wanted to apologize

before the show.

Do you want to know what I think?

Not really.

He should be poked by a hound!

But... I would feel sorry

for the hound.

Here.

A mixture of Zen green teas.

They help to regain

your mental balance.

Really? Anything for a lousy love life?

That I don't know but

scientists are working on it.

Great.

Sh*t!

Miss Linde...

Someone to see you.

If you think you can leave

the studio during a recording...

...then your mistaken... my dear.

And?

She was so scared

she nearly wet herself.

Stupid girl.

Let it be a lesson to her.

- Your place?

- What?

Or mine?

The nearest bushes?

Let's go.

What for?

Damages for breaking the contract.

Harm to the image of the show,

the station and the producer.

But why? On what grounds?

She signed that she agrees

to participate

and that she accepts

the terms of the contract.

What about them?

She didn't sleep with him.

So what. They've got lawyers.

She will have to pay anyway.

Plus stipulated penalties

in case of any delay.

The sooner we pay the better.

We've got 3800. Anka and Jolka

will give a further 1000 each.

You know what Anka would say?

Quickly find yourself a rich sponsor.

You can still auction

your Madonna ticket.

What?

What have you come up with?

Flight 643 tomorrow at 12.45.

The pay is better,

and Kuba will be thrilled.

I'll die without you.

Now you have an extra 10

coat hangers in the wardrobe.

True, that's a good argument

to keep on living.

Call me as soon as you land.

Let's hope the plane doesn't crash.

Yesterday I signed

my will and testament.

You inherit everything.

Debts included.

Take care.

Stasia!

What are you doing here?

Kuba told me

she was flying out to him.

I wanted to tell her something.

- But...

- But what?

I saw you both and I just couldn't...

She broke your heart too?

Too?

Can I give you a lift?

You didn't answer me.

We need to talk.

You're very popular.

The heart is no servant.

Three beers.

Coffee and a stroll along the Thames?

Will there be anything open?

This is London. It never sleeps.

Maybe it's the climate,

but I would never order

fried bacon in Wroclaw.

Over here I automatically

reach for bacon, eggs,

and mushrooms when I'm

at the supermarket.

You'll start to like it too.

Do you miss anyone?

Not anymore.

So you know about Damian?

Yes.

I'm sorry, I didn't want to tell you.

It's okay. Don't worry.

Was he supposed to live alone?

There's this...

...old song.

I don't remember the melody, but...

"Croissants at breakfast we share,

all our troubles together we bear".

It's a dream come true.

Dear Majka. Jola gave me

a registered letter addressed to you.

She forgot we were not

supposed to accept any mail.

It was a letter from the TV company

so we opened it and found out

that someone paid the money. All of it!

He gave the name "John Smith".

They didn't want to accept

an anonymous payment.

I asked for more details.

They told me he had blond hair.

You can return home now. Bye.

I got a letter from the TV company.

Apparently someone paid

the whole amount I was due.

Who?

A "John Smith".

He had to give a name otherwise

they wouldn't have accepted the money.

Stasia got some details.

The description of this Smith

matches perfectly.

It must have been him.

- Meaning?

- Isn't it obvious?

Karol.

He must have felt bad

that it's me who has to pay and...

...decided to help you.

Exactly. Even you understand.

Of course I'll give him back the money,

what's important is that

I don't owe the TV company anything.

But you know what else that means?

I've no idea.

That Karol isn't that bad after all.

- Really?

- Yes.

Deep down inside I always knew

he was a nice guy.

You have a very nice butt.

How do you know?

He replied that he didn't do

anything I should thank him for.

- Modest guy.

- That's true.

Now that the debt is paid,

will you be going home?

No, I'll stay until the end

of the summer holidays.

Unless you throw me out.

Straight into the gutter.

Karol is in London

for a couple of days.

To see you?

Maybe to do some shopping,

but the sales are over.

He's probably here for another reason.

Of that I'm sure.

Majka, I wanted to tell you earlier,

but if you don't do it right away

it becomes harder.

Okay. Shoot.

I'm in love.

In love? Great.

So I have to move out?

Are you blind!

Jesus...

Tell me the moment

I become an obstacle.

Everything alright?

Come on. I don't want to be late.

Fine, but you live together.

But have separate lives.

We've known each other forever.

We've always been there for each other.

Are you telling the truth?

Are you deaf?

Kuba isn't gay,

and for the past two tears

he's in love with Majka.

I paid the money on behalf of Kuba.

The poor guy is now totally broke.

I even had to chip in my own money.

Oh Lord,

if only someone loved me that much.

Why are you telling us this?

Someone finally had to.

Stasia...

Everything now depends on you.

It always does.

Just my luck.

Girls...

If Kuba finds out that...

...I spilled the beans...

...he's going to kill me.

You're as good as dead.

That must be him.

Will you manage on your own?

Of course.

Hello?

Stasia? Hi...

Your beautiful, nice, intelligent.

And you can always be counted on.

The man of your life will be thrilled.

Do you miss anyone?

Not anymore.

I'm in love.

In love? Great.

Are you blind!

"Croissants at breakfast we share,

all our troubles together we bear".

It's a dream come true.

I wanted to thank you once again.

That was very noble of you.

The money.

Yes, of course, I mean...

- Forget it.

- How can I?

I'll repay every penny.

So far I have 600 Euro.

Just for starters.

But these are all your savings...

To me it's important.

Not only because of the money.

What's the other reason?

I felt very bad.

Because?

I got the wrong impression of you.

And now things have changed?

Your being here...

You have a plan, am I right?

What about Kinga?

What about her?

Would you leave her for me?

That's what I'm doing.

I must get to work.

You'll get your money tomorrow.

And something more.

Here at 2 pm, okay?

I'll be here at 1 pm.

Kuba!

I hope you're not angry

that I went alone?

I'm never angry.

Always good, always polite.

A good listener.

Your date didn't turn up?

No, another guy showed up.

A complete jerk and I ended up alone.

Don't worry.

It means he didn't deserve you.

Not bad.

Pity you didn't ask if I'm in the mood.

Of course.

I'm not Karol.
