Now you know everything.

And that's where all this has come from?

I don't know. Someone must have

come across that f***ing bit of paper.

And that captain on television?

- He was the one who gave it to you sign?

- I don't know.

Him or some other one.

It's all so confused.

Dad, let's try to sort it out.

People'll understand.

I promise you.

Time to go, son.

Are you feeling O? Sure?

- We clearly said 'Women's winter coats'.

- Oh no, no winter and no women.

All you said was 'coats'. And these

are coats! They're nothing but trouble!

- Never satisfied, these Polaks of yours!

- Can they get them in two days? Ask.

No way! They're not treating us like dirt!

Does that Arab think he can stitch us up?

- He's insulting me, right?

- He's just a bit disappointed...

Disappointed? You tell him mine's

the best stuff in the region.

He doesn't like it, he can f*** off!

I'm not short of customers and they're

not nearly such pains in the ass!

Will you have women's winter coats

in two days' time? Yes or no?

I don't know myself now...

These Polaks of yours piss me off.

Pissing Polaks?

- I'll kill the f***er!

- What's eating him?

- Calm down!

- He said "Pissing Polak"!

You think I didn't understand,

you f***ing Arab f*ggot!

- F***ing skunk!

- Cool it. What came over you?

You want them to treat us like sh*t?

I've got my honour. I'd rather die...

- No, no way...

- Stop it.

You'll have the whole neighbourhood

after us in a minute!

- I'm not going to let myself be insulted!

- Get in the van.

I'll drive. Give me the keys!

- The scandal's getting him down, right?

- What scandal?

We know all about it. We've got Internet

and satellite TV at home.

We won't discuss there, O?

See you in a minute.

At last!

We were stuck in the traffic.

You look wonderful!

- Your dad's really wound up...

- Same old...

- Hi.

- Hi-ye.

- Hi.

- Hi-ye

It's 'Hi'.

- Zygmunt!

- Hi, Tadek, hello.

How come you're so pale!

een on a diet? Tired?

Hi.

I haven't been myself lately.

From Jola. They slaughtered a pig.

Thank you!

Tadeusz, I don't think

I'll come this evening.

Don't talk nonsense!

We'll have a decent beer and...

Really...

...you'll be back

on your feet in no time!

Natalia, bring us a new bottle!

Hi Pawel!

Hi Uncle!

I've invited three bands,

four choirs, a singer...

there'll be competitions, raffles...

and the first prize is a week

in Zakopane. Not bad, eh?

A- sso-ci-a-tion...

A- sso-ci-a-tion.

A- sso-ci-a-tion of Poles

in the region of Nord-Pas-

Pas!

- Pas-de-Ca-lais.

- Pas-de-Ca-lais.

Pas-de-Ca-lais.

You've got it in Polish

on the other side, see!

We'll wet our whistles,

fellas, and we'll be gone.

Dad...

- Natalia, Jan, it's time, we're off!

- O, I'll just do my hair.

O.

- Pas-de-Ca-lais.

- Hang on.

- Let's get a family photo.

- Oh, that's a good idea!

We'll take a photo!

Come here!

And over to uncle!

Ready!

Say 'Cheese'!

One, two,

three!

- Got it?

- Got it!

I'm heading off to Poland

As the uncle come from France

I'm heading off to Poland

And no one there will know me.

Meet Johnny and be saying

'Ca va' instead of 'Howdee',

Ca va Davy? Ca va Ricks?

Ca va Johnny? So, how's tricks?

hough they won't know

what the words are,

hey'll shake my hand and say "Ca va".

And a big round of applause

for the "Muzykants"!

Give them all you've got!

Now I'd like to hand over

to the chairman of our Association.

Tadeusz owal!

If you please!

Merci, merci!

Thank you.

Dear friends...

I am very happy to see you all here,

so many of you, gathered together

in our beautiful culture centre.

Your presence here

demonstrates once again

that preserving the bonds with

the traditions of our beloved Poland

is of enormous importance.

I promised you a small surprise

and you all know

that I always keep my word.

This evening,

one of freedom's heroes is with us,

someone who fought

against the communist oppression

of the 1980s.

I don't think you've forgotten that,

have you?

No!

My friends, allow me...

my cousin, my brother, Zygmunt owal!

Thank you.

On his behalf, thank you.

Some of you here today will remember

Zygmunt's fight under Solidarity.

When he was imprisoned,

we organised a support committee

in order to help him.

And it is to those people

that I turn today.

ecause they should know,

if they don't already,

that, in Poland, for the past few days,

Zygmunt has been the victim

of an abominable smear campaign.

Yes.

He is the victim

of an abominable smear campaign.

The people who are doing

this mudslinging today

are well known to you all.

Yes, the very same people who,

yesterday, did everything

in their power to break his courage.

Yes, it's true that they are

no longer in power.

ut in reality, and, crucially,

working in secret,

they still control the country.

Our Poland!

ut we shall not permit them to do so!

Zygmunt, we are with you.

Wholeheartedly.

In solidarity with you.

Poland has not yet succumbed,

As long as we remain.

What the foe by force has seized,

Sword in hand, we'll gain.

March! March! Dbrowski!

From Italy to Poland,

Under your command,

We shall reach our land.

Listen.

I wanted to say that until the situation

in Poland's cleared up,

it'd be better for you to stay with me.

- Everything O?

- Yes. Everything's fine.

Why?

Zygmunt'll be safer here.

We'll give you a room upstairs.

You'll be able to come

and go as you please.

Thank you.

Dad has to go back to Poland.

He has to defend himself.

That's nonsense!

The reds want their revenge.

And until they've dealt with your father,

they'll do anything to destroy him.

Uncle! What 'reds'? What 'reds'?

Martial law was thirty years ago!

And you really know so much about that...

You were pissing in your Pampers

when we were on strike.

He's right. You're young,

naive, don't understand a thing.

I don't understand a thing?

Me? I live in Poland.

I know that country better than you do!

So just please don't talk

such nonsense to me!

Day in and day out, it's these 'reds'!

'Them'! You see them under every bed!

I've just about had your paranoia

up to here!

- Your Poland doesn't exist any more.

- Stop it!

You need to look ahead

and not backwards all the time!

Listen, sonny boy.

In 1980, just before you were born,

I told you father to come here for good.

ecause I had a strong feeling that

it might end badly.

He said exactly the same thing to me

then that you've just said.

"Poland needs us. We have to fight".

That was his choice. And I respected it.

ut today, I'll say this again.

If he'd listened to me then,

there'd be no problems now.

And your mother would be here

and celebrating with us!

What's come over you?

He wants to help me. And you...

He hasn't got a clue

what life's like in Poland.

...you offend him. y what right?

- And when was he last in Poland, eh?

I remember. I was in primary school.

How long did he stay? A week, right?

He's Polish,

just the same as you and me...
