"Adam Wants to Be a Man" "Adam!" "Be careful." "That guy with a briefcase has gone towards the barge." "He says he'll throw out all the hobos from the port." "I had nothing to do with it." "I'm just guarding the docks." "We all have to earn a living." "But you should know that if he orders it, I'll kick you out." " Is the Captain back?" " He never left." "Listen, Adam, you should get away from here." "To the country, or even better, to Argentina." "Since when are you an emigration agent, old man?" "These days you can go even to America..." "Old man, I'll be busy tomorrow." "You take the package to prison." "I'm afraid your studies will come to no good, Petras." "To hell with you, old man." "You can stay for tonight." "Ah, it's you, Adam." "I guess you'll start complaining now, that there's no work in the whole city, no matter how hard you look." " And that you're very hungry?" " I'm not complaining." "Is it true that two sons of the lame man are in prison?" "What for?" "Who the hell knows..." "Hey, Captain!" "Have you ever been to Argentina?" "Ah!" "Buenos Aires!" "Palm trees everywhere you look, and the houses are all white, like an Easter pie..." "Now that's what I call living." "But still..." "If I were young again, I'd return to Hawaii." "Ever heard about hawaiian guitars?" "I fell in love for the first time in Hawaii..." "God damn it, now that's something worth living for!" "And I have never even been on a train." " Are you crying?" " I can't live like this anymore." "Too bad you don't know how to desire." "You're like an old man," " ...afraid of everything." " I am." "That man was here again." "I gave him a good idea." "What idea?" "I think I know a way for us not to die of hunger." "He'll come tomorrow." "We'll see how the wind blows." "Hey!" "Old man!" "Hello." "Well?" "My boss is not interested in your proposition." "To paint and repair this old joke of a boat, which has been out of use for years, insure it, let it float and sink?" " Smells like prison to me." " Why did you come then?" " Can you do it yourself?" " Sure." " How much do you want?" " Two thousand." "Like I said, my boss is not interested." "Okay fifteen hundred, god damn it!" "Okay, let's make it two thousand, but you deal only with me." "I'm buying this trash at my own rick." "Got it?" " Got it." "It's a deal, then." " I'll be back." " How's your idea?" " Very good, Adam." "We'll squeeze some money out of this old barge!" "Labor exchange" "You need to create a committee of unemployed." "And elect it yourselves." " Just whom do you mean by "you"?" " All of us!" "Wait a minute, fella." "What are you doing here?" "Are you an agitator or something?" "A new world is calling for you!" "Dear citizens, the emigration bureau which gives out the documents, guarantees their authenticity by the whole capital of the company!" "Emigre Vitautas Katilius, please get your ticket to Sao Paolo." "Grushas Altis, please get your ticket to Nicaragua..." "Thirty five, thirty five, thirty five, thirty five..." " How many missing?" " One." " What should I do?" " Keep searching!" "Well, it's near impossible to find it here..." "The director of the bank will buy you another necklace." "You, of all, should be very thankful to the director, my little bunny!" "I'm sick of it." "Talk to him again." "If the company doesn't get the loan, everything will fall to pieces." "He'll refuse again." "Tell him to stop being jealous." "You can say that you see me less often than him." " What do you want?" " Do you have any work?" "I do." "See if you can find this little bead on the floor." "Now there are three of us." "It's a simple piece of glass, but it's dear to me as a keepsake." "Look under the chairs." "The bald-head had chosen a bad time to die..." "Perhaps the archbishop will help?" ".." "No." "The Jewish bank!" " One has to think about reputation..." " Hey, careful, don't crush it!" "Yes, no matter how much we talk about unemployment, or have disputes," "or admire Pakshas' idea of building a second Lithuania in Africa... or wish that all our fellow countrymen were fed and happy," "still, nobody will give you one cent to support these noble goals." "You have always been my guardian angel." "Help me again if you want me to stay a man." "And what about the American?" "Your American?" "He won't lend it to me." "And what about his restaurant..." "with a casino?" "He's your partner, after all." "Tell him to mortgage it." " Persuade him." " I'll try." "I think I'll manage it." " Will you go to him?" " No, I'll invite him here." " When?" " Tomorrow." "Emigration Bureau "Alpha"..." "Are you hiring?" "I can do anything." "I used to work in a shop before." " You think he'll come?" " Absolutely." "I have received a loan from the bank." "Full stop." "Now I can return the money that you've invested into the company." " And so on." " I can't live without work!" " Good job!" " I have a suggestion." " I'll work for you for free." " That's unusual." "And my money will stay with you." "And then you'll buy me a ticket to Buenos Aires." "Well?" " What're you sitting for?" " I'm waiting." " What's your name?" " Adam." "That's a nice name!" "...have received a loan from the bank..." "God created Adam and said:" ""Rule over every living thing that moves on the earth."" "All right, you'll be a messenger boy and water the palm trees." "There's your first task:" "deliver this letter." "And don't call him "the American" if you want to get the tip." "Oh, and buddy..." "That outfit of yours is a bad publicity for the company." "See me after work." "We'll find something more fitting for you." "There it is, number 36." "Hell, I don't know..." "Too naive." "Got it for two litas on the market." "Do you think it'll fit?" "I don't know, I don't know..." " Nice." " You think?" "I like pictures." "Right." "And what are you scrounging around for?" "I brought a letter to the boss." "Put in on the bar." "The American's not here." " I think I'd better wait." " Get out, have some fresh air!" "See, even that tramp liked it." "It'll do just fine." "Kiss me." "The American has ordered her favorite bonbons again today." "Love is like an illness - easy to instill." "Sooner or later the American will take the girl, and then we'll make him dance to our tune." "You don't love me!" "Even when we kiss, all you think about is your restaurant!" "You don't love me!" " Hey, you got any money?" " Why?" " Wanna play?" " I don't have enough money." "Forget about this chump!" " It's my money!" " Give it back, you cheat!" "Get out of here!" "And I don't want to hear you again!" "Just wait, you rascals!" "I'll show you!" "And you, you forgot something?" "Just getting some air." "Did you wash these yourself?" "With my aunt, But she's sick and doesn't help me." " Do you have an aunt?" " No, I live with Captain on the barge." "Why didn't you play with them?" "I'd spill water on you too!" "What're you laughing at?" "Don't believe me?" "I don't care." "I'm getting new clothes tomorrow anyway!" "My Captain traveled a lot." "I love it when he starts telling stories about Africa, or the islands, or sharks..." "When I work, I like to imagine that this is not linen, but sails, and the sea is all around!" " What color is the sea?" " Blue!" "It's so blue, and in the distance a shore with palm trees." "Can you believe it?" "Palm trees!" "And behind there is a big white city, it's called Buenos Aires." "Everyone has a job there..." "It's almost hard to believe!" "Palm trees..." "Everyone's having fun and playing the guitars..." "And black women there..." " What about black women?" " No, nothing..." " What's your name?" " Adam." " Lucja, time to go home!" " This is not a fantasy, Lucja." " Soon I'll see all this myself!" " Talk as much as you like." "I work in an emigration bureau!" "I'll get away from here very soon." "Good day, young lady." "How do you do?" "Here, your favorite bonbons with nuts." " What do you want?" " I'm waiting for the American." "I am the American." "This is from Mr. Dausa." "Let's go." " Dausa has nice handwriting." " It's not his." "Who's that girl who pours water on everyone?" " She's boss's bride." " Keep your mouth shut!" " You've already given me a tip." " No matter, it'll do you good." "Who wrote this note?" " A blond girl?" " I didn't see." "Alright." "You can go." "It's for you, boss." "Lucja wants to give you a present, but she is too shy." "She did it herself." "Very good." " Where should I hang it?" " Above the bed?" ".." "Come on, smile." "Mr. Dausa is a very kind person, and he seems to like me." "It's not like he gives a costume to everyone who asks for a job." "Look at him, they gave him a coin and he's happy like he's found a new land." "So what?" " It's no a bad start!" " You know what, Mr. Clerk, it may be a childlike glee, but I like your admiral's uniform." "You need golden epaulettes to go with it." "Let me get my money for the barge and I'll take you with me to Singapore." "I'd settle for Buenos Aires!" "Look at him!" "He'd settle!" "As if he had enough!" "You must want more - that's the whole point." "Captain, do you think it's okay for a young girl to marry a restaurant's owner?" "Depends on a restaurant, my boy." "I'd advise you against buying one." ""A new world is calling for you!"" "Caramba!" "We weren't born to doze over a bar counter!" " Here's your receipt." " Thank you." "Emigre Valentas Kasis..." " What're looking at?" " I'm jealous." " Jealous of what?" "I sold all my land." " I want to go away too!" "So, you want me to quit from the business?" "Yes, I can manage without you." "And what if I really took my share?" "You'd have to emigrate." "After all, you still haven't got the credit." "I do keep my eye on you, Dausa." "They're making you feel like you're doing the society a big service, like you're working for the good of the country." "And yet, no loan." "Right?" " Baby, how can you stand it?" " You guessed wrong." " Don't touch." " A check for 50 thousand!" "With a signature of the bank's director who likes me and my friends!" "You'll go far." "If you want - there's your capital and interest." "Do the math, I'll sign you a check." "Why weren't you at the premiere yesterday?" "I don't remember." "Maybe I had a headache." "Or my dress wasn't ready." "The minister had brought a brunette, the third during this season." "You'll never be a minister." "You must be more brave and less consistent." "Where's the check?" "I can see there's a big game coming your way." "It's only a beginning." "I need at least 100 thousand." "Then why don't you want to have my share?" " When is your wedding?" " What wedding?" "They say you have an underage bride and that you're burning with impatience." "And what about your share?" "It's a drop in the sea." "We won't squeeze out of you any more." "You can squeeze something out even from an empty cognac bottle." "The American must've figured at last that emigration bureau is a gold mine." "Or he wouldn't have come." "How much can you offer?" "Money talk makes a woman old, madam." "Life with no money is what makes a woman old!" "I'll leave you two, then." "I only wanted to see the bureau from inside, mister clerk." "The American could tell you." "He comes here often." "He's bad at telling things..." "I've been thinking the whole night about the palms and the blue sea." "Where's the President's street?" "It's in the Old City." "I can show you." "What a noise!" "Caramba!" "It's Dausa's shirt!" "What am I gonna say in the bureau?" " Do they need laundresses there?" " Where "there"?" " The place you're going to." " Laundresses?" "Sure." "They're needed everywhere." "Not in Kaunas." "That's what they tell me in every place." " Aren't you afraid to leave?" " What will I miss here?" "The restaurant." "Are you gonna leave the American?" "And ruin your aunt's plans?" "You're stupid." " Do you think we'll actually leave?" " Why not?" "Thousands of people sail over the ocean every year." "Why are we different?" "Just because we're sitting here with no money?" "Do they have a king?" " A king." " A king has his own laundress." "Now I'll really get it from my aunt!" "I've been out the whole day." " And I'll get it from Mr. Dausa." " You're man, for you it's easier." "Where will I get the money?" "You gotta learn to want something, as my Captain says." "Your highness, your shirt is dry." "Suppose I'm really a king." "And I could do absolutely anything." "What would you wish for?" "Me?" "To be the queen!" " You're here already?" "Sorry, I'm late." " It's the last time." " Don't scare me." " I'm calming you." " Don't bother." "My nerves are fine." " The question is very serious." "A man never knows where to expect trouble." "I do know where to expect it." "Mostly from you, Dausa." "So, our little bunny forges documents." "Is that what you call doing business?" "What did you do with the check?" "The fake check, as I know now." "I tore it up." "You'll get me in prison." "It was a simple joke with an empty check." "And good for you, too." " Now you'll get half of the profit." " How generous!" "Mr. Dausa, I don't want to do business with a man whom I don't trust." "Joke as much as you like, I just want to get married and have some rest." "My congratulations!" "If you want to congratulate me, give me my money back and go to hell!" "Just wait a year and you'll get it." "The bride won't wait a whole year!" "Cut the crap, you'd rather die a bachelor!" "Want to see me on my knees?" "I know you hate me!" "You just want to settle old scores!" "I'll get mine, don't you worry." "In the court!" "Remember that story with the kerosene?" "You were poor as a church mouse and risked nothing!" "Dear partner, you made me say it:" "our company is making transactions, not stipulated by the license." "Is that so?" "Are you going to prison then?" "And you're going to lose the money and the restaurant." "We share many things besides pleasures!" "Someone will have to answer and they won't find a cent in my pocket!" "How much do you need?" "Half a million." " Oh, just that?" " We've been selling land overseas." " Maybe it's time to stop?" " Not just yet." "I could last a year in such a case." " Will you wait?" " No." "So for a pleasure of seeing me behind bars you're ready to lose your restaurant, your home, and maybe a family?" "So that's how it all ends, all your proclamations about people's future and a new heaven." "But I won't just give my restaurant to you." "I never give presents to anyone." "Go." " You should think again." " I will, I will." " Where's Lucja?" " What happened?" " Should I call her?" " Wait." "I need to talk to you." "I'm going to..." " ...settle down." " I see." "See what?" "Ah, yes, yes..." "So that's it." "I've decided." " It's about time." " Yes, sure." "I'm going to sign the restaurant over to Lucja." "If you don't mind, of course." "Angel?" "I want to see you." "No, I need to see you tonight." "I talked to the American." "As you wish." "What happened?" "The American is going to marry Lucja and sign the restaurant over to her." " You're not kidding?" " I never lie to you." "The American is afraid of Dausa and wants to outsmart him." "We'll see who beats who." "But Lucja's underage!" "She's a child!" "Some child." "It'll hamper the wedding." "Something else will hamper the wedding." "Lucja!" "Lucja!" "Hear?" "They're coming." " How's your Eve, Adam?" " She's not Eve." "She's Lucja." "Where are all these people going?" "Some unemployed man shot an industrialist and then shot himself." "It's his funeral." " Who, the industrialist?" " The unemployed." "Tear gas!" "Adam!" "Adam!" "Will I go blind?" "Yes?" "Will I?" "It's okay Adam, it'll wear off, don't be afraid." "We did nothing wrong." "Why are they doing it?" " It's alright, it'll go away." " What's this?" "My dowry." "I left my aunt." " Did something happen?" " No... nothing." " What do we do now?" " I don't know." "Petras!" "Tomorrow they'll start loading the barge." "It'll take about two days, depends on how they'll work." " And I'll set out on a long road..." " To hell with your long road." "Go on miss, have a look at what's inside." "You'll stay there for now." "And don't call it "room", it's a cabin." " Up for some chores?" " Go on, I'll help you." "She's a nice girl." "Are you going to marry her?" "I don't know." "Why did that policeman hit me?" "Huh?" "Am I a man or a dog?" "It says in the Bible clearly:" "God created Adam a man." " Says nothing about police, though." " You stink of vodka." "At my age you're not supposed to stink of milk!" "Stupid, don't be afraid of the Captain." "Don't be such a baby." "You wait here, Petras." "I'll go talk to the Captain." " Who is it, Adam?" " He wants to see the Captain." "The old man is drinking again." "Does he always live alone?" "Adam?" "I'm freezing." "I'm thinking about the man who shot the industrialist." "He had no job." "Neither did I, Lucja." "And he must've had a wife, kids..." "And one sunny day he couldn't take it anymore." "I would've done the same." "Do you think he had a wife?" "Adam, was it perhaps easier for you to be alone?" "Lucja!" ".." "Don't be afraid." "I won't bother you." "A man chooses his own way of life!" "Somehow it didn't work out for you, old man." "Two sons are in prison, the third is a candidate, so to say." "Don't judge him too harshly, Captain." "Who knows where so called freedom ends and a prison begins?" "These are my lovely children." "Yes." "I have children too..." "Could you raise the lamp, miss?" "Fix the bed yourself." "No servants in here." "You're not sleeping?" "Adam..." "Isn't that a sin?" "Buenos Aires..." "Remember, when you first met me and talked about Buenos Aires, ...what did you say about black women?" "I don't remember." "Go to sleep, Lucja." "I don't want to sleep." "The Captain is going to Singapore as soon as he gets his money for the barge's repair." "I envy him..." "He's going to see the whole world." "He says, these black women live on Hawaii." "Alright, quit fooling around." "Who thought that you'd be tinkering with that boat for three months!" " Were you drilling holes or something?" " What for?" "It'll sink by itself." "I told you many times - load it with empty barrels!" " And you're hanging stones on me!" " When will you sail?" "In a day or two." "When you going to pay me?" "You won't get a penny!" "I'll pay you only from the insurance money!" "Time to finish it up, old man." "Or do you want me to go down with the barge?" "Huh?" "Ha, caramba!" "The barge won't move until you pay me in full!" "Are you nuts, old man?" "You scoundrel!" "Okay, okay." "I'll see you tonight." "Hear me, Captain?" "It's the sun, sun, sun..." "Good morning." "I'd like to see the director, please." "The director?" "He's busy." "It's been three months since I paid, and there are still no news." "Did he forget or change his mind?" "If it's paid for, then you'll go." "Hey you, young lady-killer, come inside." "An exquisite treat." "Especially with a white wine." "They need to be dried, they'll taste better without water." "What are you doing, pal?" " Stealing someone's bride like that?" " Someone's bride?" "Our partner here says that you're being unfair and disgraceful to him." ""Unfair"?" "That's hardly the word, Mr. Dausa." "It's sickening!" "How about buying yourself a girl?" "Is it sickening?" "Huh?" "There goes another Bolshevik!" "Mr. Dausa, just listen to this brat!" "And how about signing your restaurant over to Lucja and cheating Mr. Dausa - does that sound fair to you?" "Let's not get excited, everybody." "Yes madam, just a minute." "A woman is asking for you." "Yes?" "Hello?" "Oh, really?" "Right." "You've called just in time." "Good." "Alright!" "We all overreacted a bit." "I think the matter's been settled." "What is he suddenly happy about?" "I suggest you drop all this, he can be a huge pain." " But I love her!" " It doesn't matter." "He's got it into his skull to get your Eve no matter what." " But he can't do that!" " Oh, please!" "A man with the money can do anything he wants." "Even signing the restaurant, the house and all the rest over to Lucja?" " So what should I do?" " Whatever you want, I don't care." "We both overreacted a bit, pal." "We should talk more calmly." " I'm in a hurry." " It won't take long." " Talk faster." " Not here." "Buenos Aires..." "A man is foolish by nature, my friend." "He wants from life only the things which he can't get." "He wants happiness." "You want Lucja." "Perhaps." "Suppose you do." "But it's not the main thing." "The main thing is, you want to leave." "It's difficult for you here..." "But you need a lot of money to leave." " I'll give you the money." "Leave." " How will I return it?" "I give you the money, and that's it." "You buy the ticket from your boss and leave!" " You know what, I gotta go." " My dear, there's no need to hurry." "Lucja's not on the barge." "She's home." "She's home crying and regretting that she was such a fool." "Lucja doesn't exist for you any longer!" "If she's back, why are you offering me money?" "What's it to you, whether I'm here or not?" " What's the difference, if she's back?" " Wait." "We need to wrap this up." "For now, there hasn't been anything serious between you two." " Not even a kiss." " What do you mean, not even a kiss?" "!" "Take your pick, pal:" "the money," "Buenos Aires and palm trees or nothing!" "I want nothing, you hear me?" "Nothing from you!" "Pathetic." "Drink when you have the money!" "Give me the money." "There's your money for the ticket and farewell!" "I hope it's clear that you need to forget everything," "About Lucja and about the property." "Do we understand each other?" "And I hope we'll never see each other again." "Take care, dear!" "Do you know how my Adam calls you?" ""That guy with a briefcase"." "Not bad." "These days, a beard and a briefcase for many people work better than brains." "That's it, we can sail now." "Do you need a receipt?" "Who would believe it?" "When will you set sail?" "Tomorrow, I think." " What's your name anyway, old man?" " Captain." " Adam!" "Who worked you over?" " Get lost, old boozer!" " He's out of his mind." " What a nutcase." "The door!" "Close the door!" "Are you hiding from the police?" "Because of the funeral?" "The police just doesn't like me, that's all." "Look at yourself: meek, always worried, looking around, hiding something." "You'd keep quiet even with a gun put to your head." "What's the point in screaming?" "Be silent as much as you like." "But then what?" "Did they arrest your brothers?" "Why?" "They fought." "They wanted the same thing as you, the Captain, and everybody else:" "A little bit of that sun." "That's right, brother." "You want that sun all for yourself, right?" "My brothers want it for everyone." "That's why they're in prison." "Quiet, you rascals!" "Hear that?" "The "Buenos" tango!" "Go to hell!" "I will." "Only I'm awfully afraid of the dark." "Been afraid all my life." "Since my birthday." "Don't worry about that broad." "There are lots of others." "Please, go to hell!" "Buenos Aires!" "Buenos Aires!" "Yeah, I guess I shouldn't have been born at all." "And you boys, you've got nothing ahead of you too." "What's left?" "Maybe..." "Huh?" "Petras is still dreaming about revolution!" "So my children and grandchildren could live better." "But I don't have any!" "I'm all alone." "There's nothing - and nothing will ever happen..." "And they hit you, Adam." "Hit you hard." "They always will." "And I can't even help you." "You've had it all, Captain." "Far away countries..." "You've been to Africa, to Singapore..." "You were in love on Hawaii, Captain." "That's something worth living for." "It's all lies!" "There was no Singapore." "And there was no Africa." "I made it all up, my friend." "There was no Hawaii too..." "And there was no sun." "Jackals, jackals everywhere..." "Oh God, why did I even live?" "I guess shouldn't have lived." "That's right." "Are you sick, Captain?" "It's all over." "Rain..." "If the water is everywhere, where will the ravens land?" "It's raining." "After the war he and my father worked as loaders at the docks." "That's when they started calling him the Captain." "Buenos Aires!" ".." "Hawaii!" ".." "He told it so beautifully..." "A man can do nothing alone." "Nothing and never..." "He can only die." "Do you want to lie down?" "Don't get up." "I won't lie there anyway." "Some day they'll kill you, or make you a cripple." "And you'll never know, whether people started to live better or not." "Are you a bolshevik?" "I'm a worker." "Well, I'm no king either." "Neither you want to be a worker." "You have this little dream - to become a restaurant owner and sit under palms." "Am I right?" "Are you asleep?" "Yes." "A new world is calling for you!" "Woah!" "Where did you get that much?" "Where're you going?" "Adam!" "You'll never see me again." "Farewell." "The American came in the evening." "Brought me some chocolate." "You know, what he told me?" "That you'd asked him for money for the road!" " What did you say?" " You're not listening." " He wants to marry me." " And you?" "No way!" "I'd better die." " It's the policeman and your aunt." " They threatened me yesterday." "They said there's some law that says I have to obey them." " Are you afraid?" "They won't find us." " I'm afraid not for myself." " Is the Captain afraid of police too?" " Quiet." "Wait a minute." "If only we had the money, I could always be with you." " Who are you?" " Adam." "Just helping the Captain to fix the barge." "Everybody knows us here." "It's not Adam!" "Lucja!" "Lucja!" " Cut it out." "Where are the kids?" " Your kids?" " Joking again!" "Do you know Adam?" " He's my grandpa." "I don't understand, why we're here!" "Will you help me find my child at last?" "Wait." "Did you hurt your arm while fixing the barge, "Adam"?" "I suppose you work here all the time and know nothing about the strike on Schmidt's factory?" "Want to join your brothers?" "I did take his money by the way." "Give me your hand." " What are you going to do, Adam?" " Give me your hand!" "Lucja must leave and only you can help us, sir." " May I see the director?" " No." "We have the money, but Lucja needs the ticket." "I thought, maybe you could get it for her?" "She can't stay here any longer." "I can wait." "But Lucja must leave!" " What should we do, Mr. Dausa?" " Run downstairs and buy a ticket." "Although..." "I suggest you get it in another bureau, that will be better." "Yes, but..." "She's got no passport." "Nobody will sell her the ticket." "Aren't you afraid to leave without him?" "I don't know." "Here we can't be together as well, they'll separate us anyway." " Lucja can leave today." " You're not kidding?" "My pal is going abroad today." "He can take her along." "Got any luggage?" "What luggage?" "Now leave." "Get your salary." "Tell them I said so." "Go." "My friend will be waiting for you at the railway station at twelve." "Yes?" "Are you busy?" "Are you busy?" "I want to see you." "Tomorrow, only tomorrow." "Come in!" "We wanted to know..." "Dausa?" "Come see me today, will you?" "This is very important!" "Hello?" " We're all tired of waiting." " Tomorrow, my friend." "People are worried." " Give us our money back!" " We won't wait anymore!" "Give us our money!" "Our last money!" "Riga, Koenigsberg, Berlin, Paris" "Get my wife's suitcase." "Okay, Eve, are you ready?" "See that, Lucja?" "Mr. Dausa himself is leaving!" "See, you have nothing to worry about." "Cheer up!" "He's a very good man, Lucja!" "Don't comfort me." "A woman must put up with many things." "If you're leaving, then it must be necessary." "Thank you." "What if you don't come?" "And then?" "Can this happen?" "Lucja..." "A king has his own laundress after all..." "I'll come for sure, and we'll never ever leave each other again!" "I was an innocent girl too, when I came here to Kaunas." "You find that hard to believe?" "You should've seen me twenty years ago." "I was as young as Adam." "Do you know him?" "Who is he?" "He's not from police." "You're losing your grip, Mr. Dausa." "Take your seats, please!" "That girl will bother you sooner or later." "Take me instead." "You've got two tickets." "It's not too late." "Now you're supposed to confess your love to me." "I never loved you." "A business partnership - that's what it was." "But I got used to you." "Will you take me?" "I'm not coming back, and there I'll have no use for you." "The money are on the bottom of the suitcase." "Write to me as soon as you arrive!" "To the firm's address!" "It's not too late." " Let's go, Eve." " Goodbye, Lucja!" "Come back soon, Mr. Dausa!" "We'll wait for you!" "Best of luck!" "Cheer up, Lucja!" "Yes? "The 20th Century"?" "Is it you, bunny?" "I didn't recognize your voice." "I got a sensation for you." "Don't bargain, dear, throw something out!" "Are you listening?" "The emigration bureau fraud!" "A man named Dausa has stolen half a million and ran away with his mistress!" "They've been selling land they don't have." "They've been selling tickets to the ship that nobody has ever seen!" "Dreams broken and illusions shattered!" "There'll be a photo too." "And don't forget the dramatic question in the end:" ""How could one crook cheat so many people without protection at the very top?"" "Yes, but it adds a bit of a scandal to the news." "My dear, are you bargaining again?" "Dausa?" ".." "He never was my friend." "You must believe me and never look back, Eve." "My name is Lucja." "All the better." "Then you've never been expelled from heaven." "Take the apple, Eve." " Eat, Eve." " I don't like apples." "Are you afraid of sin, perhaps?" "What are you thinking about?" "About Adam." "Lucja..." "Lucja, now be a good girl and everything will be fine..." "Adam!" " Are you waiting for the Captain?" " He doesn't want to talk." "Get lost!" "I'm fed up with all the talking." "It's me." "Bring me some schnapps." " It's night already." " It's always night." " Are you sick?" " I'll get better before your wedding." "Look, Captain, the barge is full of water." "She's been full of holes for ages." "Time to sail." "She'll sink with so much cargo aboard." "It's no use waiting." "Get lost." "No..." "Not a single day..." "It's all over for me." "The Creator didn't do miracles." "The Creator washed the peasants' feet." "What's your name anyway, old man?" ".." "What did you say?" "I'm praying." ""The 20th Century"!" ""Fraud in the emigration bureau!"" ""The crook by the name Dausa escapes abroad!"" ""The 20th Century"! "Dausa the director flees the country!" ""Dausa escapes with half a million and an underage mistress!"" ""The 20th Century"!" ""Director Dausa escapes with an underage mistress!"" "Lies!" "THE EMIGRATION BUREAU FRAUD" "I sold all my land!" "Nothing we can do now..." "It all happened so fast." "Who would've thought?" "That's the problem, old man." "We're bad at thinking." "He was such a kind man..." "They are the most dangerous, these kind people!" "What's with you, son?" "I've known in a long time." "We worked together at the docks." "The life was tough on him, son." " Where is he?" " Hang on, Adam..." "Your barge sank right here at the port where she was moored." "The Captain must've fixed it not that well." "Captain..." " Where is he?" " May he rest in peace." "A man can do nothing alone." "Nothing and never." "How is he supposed to live then, old man?" "Where's Petras?" "I need to see him." "He's not here." "He's gone." "For long?" "When my sons leave, I never know when they'll be coming back." "Me and Petras, we need to finish our talk." "I'll wait for him." "You can stay with me meanwhile." "Three empty beds at home." "Enough room for both of us." "Let's go, Adam." "The end"
