The Story of Sin Page #2

with the cult of my memories

Please send your letters

with a margin like before

J can bind them into a book

A marvellous book...

...such as the world has never seen

I have no future. I have no past...

I've burned all your beloved letters

Yesterday I lost my law suit

I have to pay my wife higher alimony

Divorce is out of the question now

I had expected it

I must leave Warsaw

I'll get a job somewhere else

I won't tell you where

this is my last day

My last farewell

I am not a coward. I am not

I saw despair in your mother's eyes

Here's the truth.. she begged me

not to ruin your life

This is the monastery

in Kalvaria Zebrzydowska

The Holy Virgin...

...painted on canvas,

after the painting of Myslenice

- Lunch, quickly...

- Why the hurry?

l'm busy

Has Lukash Niepolomski gone?

Yes, he did

Has he left Warsaw for good?

Yes

Did he say good-bye?

He did

When did he go?

To-day

Where to?

- l don't know

- Didn't he say?

- No

- Why should he? Who cares?

Don't you? Don't you care

that your breasts sag?

That you're a broody hen

who goes where her husband orders

That you're an old bag and l'm young?

Take care! One word from Niepolomski

and Kraft will sack me!

Are you scolding me now?

You at least...

...should think of my hard found job

Niepolomski and Kraft!

Shut up!

ROOM TO LE:

Mother, have you advertised the room?

l have

That room!

Yes

Lukash's room!

Are you crazy?

l won't allow you to let that room

lf you let it to some stranger...

l'll become a streetwalker

l'll go with anyone who comes along

l promise you, l'll do it!

You must forget him do you hear?

You must

lf you don't you'll be ruined

l can't forget him! l won't!

l'd rather be dead

Do you think l'm as stupid as you?

l've checked everything.

l spoke to his lawyer

He'll never get that divorce,

do you hear me?

l don't care about the divorce

Don't be silly.

Think of what you're saying

Keep your advice!

He'll never come back for you

lsn't that what you wanted?

Please, please, Eva...

Never!

You must forget him!

Never

Even if her beat and kicked me...

...dragged me across the floor...

l would kiss his hands...

...worship him with my last breath

Oh, God, how l want him

By Lukash Niepolomski

Can l see the editor?

The editor is busy

Can l help you?

l am terribly sorry to bother you.

l know you're busy...

...but it is very important.

l'm a student from Paris

Pleased to meet you

And am returning soon with my friends

One of them is studying anthropology

She needs to contact Mr Niepolomski

She used to work with him

He was planning to join us

l was told that you, sir,

You're in luck, you really are

Mr Niepolomski just wrote to me.

On the 7pm train

You can meet him here

Our office is always ready

to accomodate...

...young, pretty pioneers of science

And so am l!

Mr Niepolomski has his own estate?

A Polish scientist and writer

No, Mr Niepolomski is staying

with Count Szczerbic...

...to...teach his sons

Well then, he has no plans

to go abroad

- Sorry to have bothered you

- It's nothing

- What are you studying?

- Medicine

l'll be sure to tell my friends

how kind you were

Hotel Lipski!

Lukash!

Stop!

Why did you do it? Why?

Why did you run away?

Why that horrible letter?

l had to

Where's this?

lt's where l'm staying tonight

Single room. l'll be right back

lt's eight o clock.

l'll take you home

l'm in your room now

l'm so unhappy. l can't bear it

What about you?

l shall borrow money from the Count

and go to Rome

l might get my divorce there

Rome? When?

- In a couple of months

- When will you be back?

l'll be back, Eva

Go now!

Don't leave me!

l'll write you

Back to the hotel!

Dear Madam...My patient,

Mr Lukash Niepolomski...

...who has been hospitalised here

asked me to write

He wants you to come at once.

He has been shot in the lung

I fear there is little hope for him

Yours truly, DoctorJ. Wilgosinski

l need some leave. My aunt is dying

Are you serious?

- Unpaid leave?

- Are you serious? l ask again

l've a right!

l've not had a day off in 27 years

Just two days?

Out of the question

..400 plus 1 02...

Five hundred and twenty eight

Well, hello there

Coffee, please

We only have tea

Alright

Take a seat

You from Warsaw?

Yes

l knew it

So are we

Good for you

Are you working?

Mind your own business!

Just trying to be friendly

You're a smart girl

We're not so bad

As for money...

l've got plenty!

Look at it

So, come on then!

Leave me alone

Ha! Think you're a countess?

You'll beg for it!

lmpossible...lt's against our rules

We'll just look at each other, Doctor

l must prepare him first

l'll leave as soon as you say

My God, these romantic lovers!

l got a letter for you

What about?

- She says she'll come

- Show me!

Take it easy. She's here now

Where?

Gently, gently. Calm down...

Where is she?

Please don't get agitated

Eva! Eva, my darling!

Don't talk too much.

Take it easy

l had a duel with the Count.

Someone stole your letters...

...he laughed and made fun of you

Don't talk...

Just a few words...he mocked me...

l slapped his face...

there was a duel...

He hit me...pierced my lung...

Don't worry my sweet,

everything will be all right

lt won't

lt will

l'm going to die, Eva

Then we'll die together, my love

Would that be wrong?

My defender!

Where did he hit you?

Shh! Don't talk...

l'll stay here.

l won't leave you alone

How are you, Mr Niepolomski?

Who's she?

Comes from Warsaw...

Water's boiling

A Warsaw Lady!

Once bitten twice shy...

Shy of the kettle, see?

Good evening, Mrs Niepolomska

Good evening

Cold today, isn't it?

Someone broke the window

Get in bed now!

Jesus, what cold hands!

Playing at being a glazier!

Never fear...l'm here...

...to look after you

That should keep us warmer

Are you divorced?

Your husband in one room...

...you in another

My husband mustn't be disturbed

Does a wife disturb her husband?

He can't sleep

with someone else in the room

Well, l wouldn't sleep much either...

...if l was in his place

Diderot says...

...happiness only exists...

...in countries where law

recognises the basic instincts

He's right

ln Japan, for instance,

young girls bathe in front of men

That's in Japan!

- Japan is a great culture

- Japan! Japan!

Always the same!

Can you imagine a Polish girl

bathing in front of us?

Yet shame's only an invention,

like clothes

ls a blush on a girl's cheek

an invention too?

l'll prove it

How?

Missionaries on the Iles des Pins

ordered the girls to wear skirts

But they kept taking them off!

Consider the animals

We're not animals

and your argument.'..

...is very weak

lm trying to teach you anthropology

Woman's shame is man's invention.
