one thing interests me.

In 1936, during the civil war,

the Republican Spain

deposited its gold reserves,

over a $ 500,000 in Odessa.

The gold never returned to Spain.

I wonder what happened to it?

The question is certainly

not for our guests...

Excuse me, what paper

do you represent?

Gazeta Wyborcza.

Never heard of...

Who invited you here?

Due to a time warp,

but it's a long story.

Thank you, Ms...

Any more questions?

Mr. Skucha, please!

I'd like to say hello

to Mr. Kuba Radecki.

I admire your scripts!

Errr... it's nice.

Thank you very much...

I've only penned one,

but thanks, anyway...

Since I have the floor,

why aren't you in Canada

on a scholarship?

I'm leaving next week...

How do you know?

I know a lot about you!

My name's Zosia Albrecht

and I'd like you

to remember me.

Ladies and gentlemen,

let me emphasize

that a cooperation

with the Soviet Film industry

is very important

to the Polish cinema,

a chance for

a perestroika in this field.

Is this supposed

to be an economy?

Don't you see what

the red spiders

have done to this country,

the agriculture and industry?

Shortage of butter?! No butter

in an agricultural country?

In 10 years we'll have butter so

expensive that it'll pay to buy it abroad.

Yes? And the situation

in the meat market?

Even worse. A lot of meat,

but nobody will eat it

because of the mad cow

disease and the bird flu...

I've been to Moscow and the DDR.

And saw how solid the communism is!

It won't fall apart

in the nearest 200 years!

Just like this lock!

Thank you. You've

been very helpful.

The pay is 1,200 zloty.

There'll be butter and meat,

but nobody will need them...

What else will there be?

Freedom, but nobody

will notice it.

- Good bye, ma'am.

- Good bye.

- Sweetie...

- Yes?

Will you buy your

cupcake a little car?

May be second hand?

- What is it?

- Super from downstairs.

Your drain must've burst,

cause it's flooding my apartment.

What drain? Moment.

It's dry in here.

Nothing has burst!

Maybe under the bathtub?

I have a plummer with me.

Let him take a look

at that drain.

All right. Moment.

Cover yourself.

Coming!

What drain?

This.

Now you know why

I don't love you...

- It's not what you think!

- I'm seeing it.

I love you for sure.

You have your clothes

packed outside the door.

Don't try to come back.

I've changed the locks.

Bravo! Bravo!

This is the way with men!

How could you do that

to me, you pig?!

Some kind of curio city!

Curiosity rather.

Have you given it

enough thought?

Yes, I have a week before

Kuba leaves for Canada.

- What if you don't make it?

- I'll follow him.

Marta has a friend in

the Canadian Embassy.

- And the money?

- I'll rent my house if need be.

You're in such despair?

- So he's finally noticed you.

- I guess so.

But I can't go the whole hog.

He'd think I'm a crazy nymphomaniac!

Why don't you have

a heart-to-heart talk with him?

He may believe it?

Do you believe me?

I think you don't,

but you're too kind to hurt me...

Oh, here it is!

May I help you?

I've shut myself out. The keys,

passport, and ticket are inside.

- You have no spare keys?

- Inside.

There's a window

open upstairs.

Exactly. Upstairs...

- Where are those keys?

- In the handbag...

You're climbing into my house?!

I don't know you!

You have my moped

as collateral.

The salt for my mouth -

a blues for the guitar

A few shortcuts too

a couple of greenbacks...

No, no. Anything but that.

I can't give you much

I can't give you much

Cause I don't have enough...

- What're you doing?

- Let me in.

- No way.

- It's also my house, dammit!

- You have the bedsitter.

- Stop kidding, Zosia.

It's clear.

Let's part company with class.

I'm awfully sorry

for the whole thing.

I want to apologize.

Why flirting with Miss Jeanette?

- Zosia! You don't know anything.

- I know everything, Darek.

How about going

hunting tomorrow?

A romantic outing.

Just you and me.

I've rented a beauty of

a lodge n/ aga.

No, Darek.

Stop pestering me.

- I have nowhere to go.

- The bedsitter.

- They've given me notice to vacate!

- Rent another.

Give me the dog at least!

From this place of such

quality and significance

in our history, we connect

with all our peers

in the Polish land

wherever they are.

Be it in schools, colleges,

or workstations.

What we've been weighing

concerns each and everyone.

- What're you looking for?

- I can't find my passport.

Have you seen it

or know where it is?

In a drawer, I think.

- Which?

- In the Passport Office.

And this on top of all.

... on a smaller outer scale,

but sometimes

maybe on a larger

inner scale...

...and cannot return

its Westerplatte...

... that it cannot return its

Westerplattel

Why, this is live?

Exactly, but I've heard it

already.

Now he'll say:

enough for today.

Enough for today.

You believe me now?

- I got you!

- I've won.

- You distracted me.

- I didn't say a word.

- You talk all the time.

- You don't know how to lose.

I do.

May I ask you for a while?

- Let the kid sometimes win.

- Too clever and will know it's phony.

- Lose once. Do it for me, OK?

- OK. It's not educational, though.

It is. Kids should be

brought up to be winners.

Ma'am psychologist,

according to statistics,

psychologists make

the most pedagogical mistakes.

Don't argue. Lose.

Once more?

I don't promise.

- A ticket to ary.

- 850 zloty.

Transfer in Zielona Gra.

Oh, it's you.

We should stop meeting

in this way.

Yes? How should

we start meeting, then?

I had the feeling in

the office that we sparked.

Will you go along on

a romantic outing?

- A younger lover is a tautology.

- Yes? You heap praise.

In your case

it's an oxymoron.

Yes? Maybe. Moron in

English means an imbecile.

- Where to, P*ssy?

- Zakopane.

I wanted to Kazimierz. So what?

I'll change for Zakopane.

It's the wrong bus!

I can't go along with

someone who doesn't

know what oxymoron is.

- Are YOU his wife?

- I wonder too.

So... please come on in.

I will if that woman leaves.

Errr... the lady is leaving.

She is a wife, but not mine,

the wife of a friend of

a friendly... hunt.

Spare us the details.

Just let her leave.

- I'll wait in the kitchen.

- You're invited.

Vodka?

Yes, please!

I've gone through

that too.

Wonderful of you

to have come!

I couldn't think

of a nicer surprise!

You should've decided

to go along with me.

It'd've been a romantic trip without

this... misunderstanding.

Hush... You'll frighten

away the game.

- I'm sorry.

- Quiet.

Only the two of us.

But two hunters came along.

One had a pregnant b*tch.

How do you know that

Grabarek's b*tch would litter?

How did you find me here?

We were supposed to go to aga?!

I know everything. Party

apparatchiki occupied the lodge.

You had to rent

private lodgings in ary.

So you knew everything?

Do you know the number

of the winning lottery ticket?

lt'd give me some advantage!
