Isn't there a bridge around here?

Pleased to meet you. Piotrek.

Ok, but my GPS...

I'll design you a new bridge

when I get settled in.

Peter!

We can speak Polish.

You insisted on the old barn,

keeping up with tradition.

aneta likes this place.

I've sent down a digger.

Ronaldo will help you.

Pour, Ronaldo...

Listen...

I think it's all been too quick.

I know young people

need to get to know each other.

Not shack up right away.

We love each other...

- ...We don't want to wait.

- I'm being totally frank with you.

I don't know you.

A few Skype calls in English

can hardly be called knowing someone.

But anyway...

I hope aneta knows what she's doing.

What can I do?

All I can do is wish you well.

Here's the timetable.

Timetable?

- Yeah, timetable.

- Timetable.

Stop!

Don't bother.

I'll manage.

I'll manage!

The keys to the house.

I'll drive you back.

I'll manage.

Wonderful!

Come here.

Come here!

- Cheers!

- Thanks.

It's drizzling.

How cute...

Drizzle, drizzling.

...one little cloud.

I know, I know...

...Piotr?

Anybody here?

Brother!

We're just missing the swimming pool.

Bachelor boy!

Where are you?

He's hiding...

Python!

Have you spoken to him?

He's vanished.

I don't know, sister.

Maybe he doesn't love you anymore.

I'd be scared of you.

Where's everywhere?

Wait. I'll call you later.

Your brother-in-law is here!

You know what this means in Poland?

Have you two met?

F***... My mother used to

do it for me.

Go on. Pour some vodka.

See that?

I, aneta...

Take you, Piotr...

...as my husband.

As my husband.

As my husband.

To have and to hold...

To love,

honour...

...obey,

for as long as

we both shall live.

Not like that.

Zofia, Zygmunt...

For mum and dad!

My dears!

I learned this song from my grandma!

Band please!

Who's taking a wife?

He's taking a wife,

I won't take a wife!

The boys will come to me,

I won't be asking them!

Who's whining on life?

He's whining on life,

I won't whine on life!

I've got pounds in my pocket,

and it's all I need!

- Tip your head back.

- What?

Well, the groom's just lost his cherry.

Let's keep on dancing!

Music, maestro, please.

I love you.

Someone's watching us.

He doesn't mind.

Doesn't mind?

I can't with grandpa watching.

Alright! That's enough!

Come on!

Hey boys!

No toys to play with?

Enough!

I'm sorry...

Come on. Let's get inside!

What?

You seem different.

I'm not Python any more,

I'm Piotr.

Did you forget?

Kiss the groom!

Thank you, thank you...

Now the professor would like

to say a few words.

Please... Bravo!

I'd like to say...

On this special day...

Louder!

Here... Bravely!

Let me recall Stach,

your grandfather, aneta.

He once said:

"Just wait 30 or 40 years.

We won't have much of it,

but our grandchildren will."

He said it somewhere near here.

Right by this marquee.

I mean the marquee wasn't

there then,

but when you leave the house

it's on the north-west side...

Of course, Staszek wanted

aneta to inherit this house.

It was his last will.

It's a good bit of land.

And I confirm it.

I know a thing or two.

Listen to an old Jew.

I can still do my math.

Perhaps it's good

that it's raining,

because it reminds us

of the tears of despair,

of which there were many more

than tears of joy.

We aren't at school now!

I know, I know...

Maybe it's not the time.

But on the other hand...

As Aristotle said:

"Whoever does not partake

of society...

is either a god...

or a beast."

There's no man without society...

and there's no society without memory.

Beautiful words...

Keep that memory in your hearts...

Beautiful words...

Our thanks to the schoolteacher

for those beautiful words!

And now...

I've got good news for you,

my dears.

I won't be singing this evening.

But seriously...

I won't propose a toast,

because as you know

I don't drink.

I won't talk too long,

because in my job all I ever say is:

"Don't drink, don't smoke".

And no one listens to me anyway.

Instead, let the music speak for me.

Dear aneta and...

- ...Piotr!

- I know... Piotr.

And now a piece of music

especially for you,

which works better than aspirin,

better even than Prozac.

I'll stake all my medical diplomas.

Today I offer it without prescription.

- Play something Polish!

- Something funny!

Just a little glass...

No... One glass and then another.

I've been there.

Vodka and I are divorced

and I've put it behind me.

It's called the "irretrievable

breakdown of the marriage."

I'm coming, I'm coming!

Hey, Marzenka, Mariolka,

we're talking here!

What are you up to?

Looking for worms?

- You think it's funny?

- Yeah.

- F*** off!

- Gents!

What's up, gents?

First fight tonight?

He's got a problem.

Peter, what's wrong?

You ought to know, dad.

It was here.

But there's nothing here.

There was a hole here a minute ago.

But what did it look like?

Normally...

Skeleton.

From a biology lab?

- Yes, the same.

- Yeah, from a biology lab!

Skeleton... I recall now...

It's a dog.

Dad had three dogs.

He must have buried it in the garden.

So it's a dog.

I know what a dog looks like!

Alright, listen!

Let's not all go abracadabra here.

Let's say there's something there,

but we won't start digging right now.

We're drunk and we'll drown

in this mud.

We won't see anything anyway.

We'll do it when we're sober.

For now, not a word.

Especially not to aneta.

Jasny!

Sit down!

Right. Talk.

Is this a wind-up?

Taking the piss?

Course not...

You always have some dumb ideas.

Back off, I don't know anything.

What's it all about then?

- Maybe you know something?

- How the f*** should I know?

You knew grandpa better than I did.

Just having a rest.

I feel trapped in a crowd like that.

I know how it might look.

The doctor sneaked out to have

a drink on the sly.

But it's not what it seems...

Who am I telling anyway?

Sometimes it's hard to exchange a word -

never mind a thought - with anyone here.

Easy, easy... Hyperventilation,

nerves, stress. Typical.

Best get it out of your head...

...or better yet out of your stomach.

I have to tell you:

The house is lovely, really lovely.

One thing!

Just have to eliminate the rain

and it will be perfect.

Did aneta's grandfather build it?

The house?

No, it was here already.

I don't get it.

Did you know her grandfather?

Very decent man...

As pure as the purss...

As pure as the pursts...

F*** hell I can't even...

You see?

As pure as the purest driven snow.

Let's be honest.

No one's perfect.

No one.

What happens when a white snowflake

falls into a dirty puddle?

I'm an atheist.

I'm interested in facts and analysis.

Ask the priest about abstraction.

- Thank you...

- Beautiful wedding.

Come here, your turn...

Come here!

We're waiting for you.

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Kiss the groom! Kiss the groom!

You'll get a kiss from me soon, mate!

My dears...

Seems to be good

son-in-law material...

And he's been recommended

by my first-born.
