Are you drinking vodka?

You astound me!

It's just the beginning.

You came as you hadn't

been able to stay without me.

So you love me

and won't leave me.

I love only you, Kuba.

Pregnancy test, please.

What do you want?!

A test to check if

I'm pregnant.

You see it if

you look at me.

Oh, darn it. I forget

how benighted you are!

- Benighted?!

- Backward.

Backward?!

Lawyer's Office

All right... now one of those

indiscreet questions.

Shoot.

When did you stop

...cohabiting?

What's the best answer?

The truth.

Since your emotional

bonds stopped etc., etc.

It should've been

half a year ago at least...

Put it down:
12 years ago.

Yes, but you've been

married for 3 years?

Yes. I always have

problems with that.

Write we haven't been

cohabiting... for 2 years...

...for two and a half.

You file for divorce

without pointing the guilty party?

No, it's all his fault.

In the States, we'd take

him to the cleaners,

but here I'll have to

leave him socks at least.

Zosia,

I know you're there!

Please let me in.

I see you through the window

sit and write something.

What's the matter?

What game are you playing?!

Why have you taken the car?!

Open up or I'll shoot

through the locks.

Hey! Calm down,

or I call the cops.

I'm awfully sorry.

My wife must've fallen asleep

and I've forgotten the keys...

I know you're divorcing.

Do it in a civilized way.

Some respect for the neighbors.

Sorry.

Of course, you're right.

Since you know everything,

how about a coffee to make up?

In another life.

- Zosia!!!

- Hi.

Zosia, why here?

Miss Babs, a pregnancy test

and the results on my desk.

Please wait.

My boss doesn't get it that

impregnation in vitro is the future.

He tells me to terminate

my research,

...because it's nothing doing.

- It's not!

Let's not talk about it.

- How are things?

- I've filed for divorce.

I don't envy you.

Those partings, returns,

crying, weeping... a nightmare.

In such a plight, you have to go out,

to meet someone!

Let's go to an Enamored Ball.

Let's go together.

To an Enamored Ball?

They'll take us for dykes!

lt'd be an idea!

I prefer guys, but my

dreamboat has another one

and pays me no attention.

Leave those stamps.

A fine guy, occupied,

doesn't notice others.

What a pity...

We seem to be the only

ones without partners.

That's the point.

We'll find someone.

An Enamored Ball!

We're super gals!

Fantastic goods:
two married gals,

including one pregnant.

Let's have a good time.

Kebab, please.

- We're short of...

- How come? I want kebab!

No more. How about

spare ribs or mutton?

And this?

It's rare. I've put it

away for myself.

Please give it to me!

Don't argue. I'm a guest here

and you're to wait on me!

Here.

Zosia!

Hi.

You know one another.

Marta - Teresa - Jurek.

Hi.

- You alone?

- And you?

I've come alone,

but won't leave alone!

Cut the cocksure bit!

Let's have a drink.

Thanks a lot.

I'll find my husband tonight,

which a fortune teller predicted!

That's where she is!

For a 1,000 zloty a pop.

What? I can tell

you the same gratis.

She also said I'd be

a great success

with a workmate in the future!

We'll have psychotherapeutic

office in Warsaw in 10 years.

Forget it. It's not the US.

What will happen

to me?

Your first child in vitro

will be born in November.

Don't go to Bulgaria on holidays,

or they'll burglarize your apartment.

I told you about in vitro,

but not about Bulgaria.

The one in glasses will be

nominated for Oscar in '94 or '95

for a film he'll make in France.

And the one with his back to me

will be my husband in 9 years.

Then go tell him!

I'll do it!

Excuse me, if you're game for it,

my friend tells fortunes!

by the entrance.

No, it's gratis. I barged in,

as you have special good news.

Yes... what, for instance?

- Something with Oscar for you...

- That's my uncle's name.

...about a film in France.

Impossible... I've just got

an offer... from France...

Zosia, come, come on!

I must've seen you

at a press conference?

Yes, the lady asked

about the Spanish gold!

Does chiromancy

know about me?

You'll have a private

TV station in a few years.

Don't let your son

go hiking in the mountains.

Iwo is crazy indeed about climbing.

This is fantastic!

Three withes

as if in Macbeth!

Excuse me, a call.

- Aren't you interested in the future?

- I don't believe it.

I have three prophesies

for you.

I feel honored.

The first one?

You'll be asked to dance

and won't be able to refuse...

- The first has come true.

- And another one?

- We'll soon be married.

- I'm not asking about the 3rd one.

It wasn't as funny

as it was supposed to be.

A pity...

But we'll be happy later.

Write the "Waiters" series

you're considering!

It'll be a hit!

The 3rd prophesy, that.

What series?

It's not to be a series...

You have such a good time,

I couldn't find you...

I wasn't hiding.

I saw it.

Let's return home.

I have a headache

and my stomach aches too.

Because of

a poisoned kebab!

- Drink some vodka.

- No vodka! We're going home!

Good night.

Bye.

Who was that woman?

Lidka? Just his wife.

Very jealous.

- Could I offer you a drink?

- Sure.

And what?

He was to be divorced

in '87... A flop.

Wait...

Sorry. I'm leaving...

Howdy, Darek.

You? Really?

Three strikes and I'm out.

I know what oxymoron is!

The same numbers?

It's destiny.

- Shall we dance?

- What for?

Cha-cha-cha.

Hello. Mr. Kuba, I presume.

Cutting in.

Zosia, Zosia...

- You sure want it out?

- Enough arguing.

- It emits bad energy.

- I haven't felt it.

So you think me crazy.

All right. Say it.

You think me crazy, yes?

- I think it's a very pretty dresser.

- But I don't want it!

Don't you understand

that it emits sorrow!

Let's take it to a second hand store

to make someone happy.

Go ahead as you wish.

I'm finished with it!

- Hello...

- Hello.

You're really stalking me.

Not today. I'm taking

things to the laundry.

What're you doing with

this dresser?

It was a present for my wife,

but she hates it...

To leave it here?

A beautiful 19th cen. dresser?!

If it isn't liked,

away with it.

- Really throwing it away?

- Really.

- May I take it, then?

- Of course. You want it packed?

Into my car if you could.

- Your wife won't be angry?

- She's never liked it.

I hope you didn't have

a hard time for the ball?

What's this thing

about prophesies?

- A joke?!

- Sure.

I don't prophesy the future.

I've lived through it.

Meaning?

I'm a bit tired telling

about it, but no matter.

I had this time warp

in 2000.

In 2000, we're a very

happy married couple,

bringing up my daughter

Florka I'm pregnant with,

who adores you.

I regret not to be younger

and not meeting you earlier.

One day I'm 12 years

younger in the year '87

with my ex

I wouldn't want to be with

or even touch

with a 10 foot pole.

But you're married.

Seems things will stay that way.

And you think me

crazy to boot.

Maybe not crazy but
