Meanwhile, please take care of my mother,

I have only zloties now...

Stop it or I'll slap you!

How am I supposed to know

if you take money or not?!

Look at my face!

You have to look more carefully.

My girlfriend's father has contacts

in provincial governor's office.

Man... Call him, will you?

I'll take care of it.

Leszek was to call too, but

I don't know if he succeeded.

- Leszek from the club?

- Yes.

For how long are you leaving now?

It looks serious,

she'll probably have a surgery.

I took an unpaid leave so I'll stay with her.

Do you have money?

I can lend you some money if you need it.

No, thank you. I'll call you in need.

Leszek is the one who organises

the expedition to the Himalayas?

- Yes.

- You're on the list.

But I don't know if I'll go.

Now I lost my trip to USA...

I don't even have the money.

How do you know I'm on the list?

I'm on the list myself.

That's great!

I don't have such chances as you...

I'll go as a photographer

or something like this.

But you'll call me?

Sure.

Take me away from here.

- But mum...

- Take me away. Give me my coat.

Go and get a taxi now.

Help me, son.

Tell them that my illness isn't contagious.

But mum, why?

Give me my bag.

Mum, it's peaceful here.

Please take me home.

Neighbours will take care of me.

It will be better this way.

They take care of you here.

Nevermind.

I don't need anything.

The doctor says

not much can be done and he's right.

Give me the shoes.

Please!

Otherwise I'll have to go by myself.

I think it should be consulted with the doctor...

Tell them it is my request. Go, my boy.

Doctor...

Excuse me, doctor.

My mother wants to leave the hospital

and I don't think her condition allows to...

Can you advise me anything?

Do what your mother wants.

Don't object to her.

So there's no hope?

There's always hope but the chances...

aren't too big.

Mum?

Let's go.

Have a sit,

I'll get a taxi now.

Wait a minute please, I'll bring the sick person.

Where are you...?!

Bastard!

I have to get some rest now.

Witus, go back to Warsaw.

You can't give up your job.

I have kind people around me.

Go, help her.

- I'll help you.

- No, thank you, I'll manage.

Leave me alone please,

I'd like to get some rest now.

Fine.

Here, take this.

- No, I don't want it.

- You'll sleep well.

No, thank you.

There must be some way out.

A chance, hope! What am I supposed to do?

A friend of mine from Warsaw knows a man

who cures by putting his palms on a sick person.

He often comes to the town so you could

try and bring your mum to him.

Give me the address.

Is there someone with her now?

Yes, the neighbours come in turns.

So why don't you stay here and sleep.

Of course if you want to.

How can he manage to see all these people?

It's just a moment, a touch of the hand.

And this touch helps?

If one believes so.

Bring your mother just on time

so that she won't have to wait.

Are there any chances

he'll come here this year?

Unfortunately not, he was here in autumn.

Do you take money from patients?

Are you a prosecutor?

No, but... Everyone takes it.

Not everyone.

I don't take money, neither does the young doctor.

But others do.

They take it

because they desperately need money?

They take it because they want to.

Good to know that it still surprises you.

I'll bring Grazyna, she'll give you an injection.

You are in pain, I can see it.

It will bring relief.

Let me go for her.

I don't want it.

But you suffer.

It's for your sake.

You wanted to ask me something?

Yes.

Explain it to me, Father

I'm sorry.

My mother wants to you come

and give her extreme unction.

It's now called Anointing of the Sick.

Even the Church

is afraid to talk about death.

Does my mother understand what's being said?

I think she does.

But the tumor is pressing against her brain.

I think she understands so

you should talk

as if she heard everything.

Take care.

I'm sorry.

There's no need.

Why is she dressed like that?

It was her wish.

You have to shave.

We have to go to the office.

- Do you understand?

- Yes, of course.

We have to go there and get an unpaid leave.

There's a meeting in Zakopane.

I fixed the car and everything.

Good. Let's go.

Man, come on.

Get up.

Are you crazy or something?

Sorry.

You know

Something has broken in me.

What is it?

Shall we? To the Himalayas.

No.

What happened?

I got a phone from work, have to go back.

I'll go to Zakopane,

maybe I'll catch a train.

I'm sorry.

Good evening.

Don't be ashamed.

You think something happened?

No, it's probably about the trip.

- To the West?

- Yes.

That's good, isn't it?

I don't know what is good anymore.

- Your projectors are here.

- I know.

There's no invoice for one of them,

we could sell it.

We'll divide the cash half-and-half.

- Go and have your head examined!

- Are you crazy?

What's going on?

It's like you found the cash.

- Do you make a living?

- Yes.

So do I.

You think you're a saint?

That you were hired because you're good?

You just had contacts.

Go to work,

40 people are waiting for your place.

That's true.

What the hell happened to you?

Firstly the projector,

now you don't want to sign.

We get the lump sum for hotels

we sign up for more, spend less.

That's our business.

It isn't my business, I'm fed up with this!

Hotels, taxis, still new swindles!

Why should I think

about my lies again and again?

What do you think about it for?

You have to?

Everyone has to.

Sign this or

your colleagues won't get the money too.

I won't sign this.

Open the door.

It was open.

Hey, no jokes.

Stop doing this...

Hi.

You're pregnant.

Are you crazy?

You had an abortion?

No way!

Then why did you come here?

I wanted to see the airport.

I live in Warsaw during my studies

I met your landlady

and she said you're coming back.

So I came.

Shall we go to my place?

No, I'll go by bus.

See you.

Bye.

In the denominator

the sum after ni

W:

Using these results we can state that

average ni

is almost identical

to the most probable ni.

So average ni

is constant. It is the constant factor.

Let's have a cigarette break now.

Please reconstruct

the line of reasoning we followed.

It concerns also non-smokers.

Excuse me

Yes?

I was thinking that maybe it could be done

without using Lagrange multipliers.

I mean by eliminating one 'ni'

and placing it in here in the probability formula...

Then it's just seeking the extremum.

I don't know if it can be done this way.

Of course, but why do you think

it's a better way?

Perhaps not better, just easier.

It would be easier indeed

but less elegant.

You can make use of it only in cases

of very simple conditions of 'ni'.

But it won't work

in the case of mixed expressions.

I thought I was a genius.

It's an interesting idea.

It's stupid.

Are you our student?

No.

But you come to my classes.

I have time so I come here.

If you came regularly

you could get a grade.

Thank you, it's just a hobby of mine.
