"Everyone's short of time." "The point is to know what you want it for." "A very profound remark." "When I said that at work today it made a great impression." "It may make a Iot of sense," "if you think about it." "I suppose so, but you know how I work." "tell me." "What are you driving at?" "I simply try to concentrate on one thing at a time."

"I want to be free." "You." " You're thinking only of yourself." " Yes, for once in my Iife." "For once..." "I've often thought it to be a bit fishy the way you involved yourself in other people's lives." "As though you wanted to prove to yourself and the world how noble and big-hearted you are." "But deep down it was seIf-induIgence." "I..." "I..." "Yes." "But do you have the right to say that?" "You asked me." "Come on back, Anna's brought some cookies." "Something wrong?" "We're coming."

"Give me a photograph and I'II fix up a new one." "Look, I can't..." "Not just like that..." " I've got to have a good think." " So have a good think." "You'II have to find your own answer." "No one can tell you what's right and what's wrong." "It's different in each case." "It depends where you draw the line, what's sacred." "How does your husband feel?" "I haven't discussed it yet." "He didn't want to." "I don't know if he'II take it hard." "Maybe he'II be better off." "Do I owe anyone anything?" "It's like I've always been paying a debt." "In return for what?" "A reward in the afterworld?" "Have you thought of your son?" "He'II be going to a camp, and then..." "You think he'II be needing me long?" "5-6 years and he'II leave." "After all, he'II have a mother and father." "Isn't it better if the mother is happy?" "But will you be happy?" "That I can't say." "But at any rate I'II be free." "Try out this other man first." "You needn't make a clean break..." "all at once." " No, I can't do it like that." " Why can't you?" "Because you're so honourable, such a saint?" "Not up to a little deception?" "That's tough." "It takes courage to be a little dishonest when it's necessary." "Think it over." "That would make it better all round." "Even if I do find the courage to be dishonest with someone else how will I find it to be dishonest with myself?" "Where's the boundary?" "You're too seIf-absorbed to sacrifice your seIf-esteem." "AII you think of is yourself." "That's why it's so easy for you to wreck everything." "Is that all you can say to me?" "Thank you." "Wake up." "Look what you've done." "Miss Marta..." "Miss Marta."

" A bit." "Do you need anything?" "In case of anything, remember..." "Jan can manage." "Don't do him favours out of pity." "It would break him down." "Act as you feel not as you think you should." "What will I do with this stuff?" "Why don't I leave you the juice at Ieast?" "Jan..." "If you can see what's the matter with me why do you make it so difficult for me?" "Why don't you say something, stick up for yourself?" "Everything pick and span, as though you were trying to blackmail me with your decency." "Homework with Pete... done..." "What's got into me?" " You're crying." " Me?" "Crying?" "I'm sorry." "We can talk later." "would you help with the door?" "I never supposed anything like that would happen to me." "He said that if I didn't hand in my notice myself they'd have it delivered to my doorstep and then finding a job would be harder." "But I can't hand in my notice because that would be confession of guilt." "I don't know what they've got on me." "Maybe she really did forge my signature?" "When I refused to resign he blew his top!" " Any witnesses?" " His secretary." "could you try to help me?" "Is he in?" "No, but he will be tomorrow." "How about your problem?" " Have you made up your mind?" " I think so." "To what do I owe this visit?" "You had an interview with Rosa yesterday." "Are you here as friend or union official?" " well, what is it?" " She handed in her notice..." "She now wants to withdraw it." "Return it and stop blackmailing her." " You'd better take that back!" " I stand by it." "Hand it over." " No." " What do you mean, "no"?" " kindly leave the room." " I'm not going... without it." "Yes you will!" "Care to bet?" " You'd lose." " Then I will leave!" "Over my dead body!" "Why don't you calm down and get back to your work?" "Hand it over." "You'II make me lose my temper." "If I lose mine..." "What then?" "Why get so worked up?" "I've no hard feelings." "I can't back down, because it's important." "Have the courage to give way." "Get out!" "Now you've really gone too far." "You won't get away with it!" "I'm sorry." "That's not enough." "I'm overworked, suffering from blood pressure and you deliberately needle me." "Can I take it?" "Was it worth sticking your neck out?" "And who for?" "She came here and blurted out everything... you'd told her." "She's scared stiff." "Like you." "You're getting lazy." "Missing workouts." " Is Jacek around?" " He's gone to the coast." " For long?" " The whole summer." " Know his address?" " He left it for you." "You're not exercising today?" "No, I'II just sit and watch." "Check this, would you?" "Here, that third item." " will you manage in time?" " Yes." "I'm going out." "I won't be back today." "Take your keys." "I won't be back." "When will they be back?" "Before evening."
