" This won't help you any more." "Would you like to christen my dick?" "Gabi, where have you got such a dress from?" "Are you going to act in a film?" "Clearly, someone has at last come to know my worth." "I wonder if he will like the smell?" "Our Heavenly Father May God make Borys see through" "and make him fall in love with me." " What are you doing here?" " What are you up to?" "I will go to Borys and tell him I can't stand being in a convent any longer." "Do nuns have id cards?" "I'll burn mine before his very eyes and then take off my habit." "...and you'll tell him that you love him." "Be careful, Gabi, because the old man will give you a thrashing again... if Borys complains." "I am keeping my fingers crossed." "Yes." "Borys?" "You can take up the matter." "Great." "Listen..." "I've checked." "There are two women who gave birth to a child in a concentration camp." "I've talked to one." "She has agreed to an interview so I am going to her tomorrow." "Now, listen."

" You're living too high." " Then I'll be carrying you up in my arms." "That is until the old lady Zosia "passes away"." "Such old women do not die." "All right then." "I'll drop in to see how you're doing." "Some time after eight." "Right?" "Do we know each other?" "I am Gabrysia from flat nr two." "My old man is the caretaker." "Gabi?" "Of course." "I didn't know you are in a convent." "Since when?" "...Have you got a permit?" "I've come to visit my father but he's left somewhere and I haven't got the keys." "You want to wait here, right?" "No problem." "I would like... to stay overnight." "To stay overnight." "That won't work, I'm afraid." "My girl is coming." "You do understand." "What are you going to do, then?" "I will have to go back to the convent in Cracow." " I only don't know if I have any train now." " To Cracow?" "And where are you calling?" "Railway inquiries." "Welcome to railway Inqulrles."

"Still these mattresses?" "Zosia!" "Borys, is it you?" " Good afternoon, ma'am." " Good evening." "This is Gabrysia, my caretaker's daughter." " Please sit down." " Good afternoon." " I've brought you a parcel from my sister." " Thank you." "Borys brings me regularly some tidbits from his family." "Could you put the kettle on for tea?" "Let's open the parcel." "Do you know, sister, where the kitchen is?" "Ma'am, I'd like to ask you if you could put up Gabrysia for a night?" "After all, you've bought this flat from me." "Admittedly, together with me." " Only for one night." "Right?" " What's the matter?" "Some other time." "One more thing." "You see, me and my fiancee would like I don't know how to put it" "Dear Borys, I will soon leave here for ever." "I'm sorry." "Let's not talk about it..." "I'm in a hurry." "So I hope Gabrysia won't be too much trouble for you." "By the way, Borys, perhaps you could help me." "I am pestered by calls from my son's acquaintances who threaten they will send him back in pieces." "I can't, but these are surely some silly jokes." "Everything will turn out fine." "I must fly." "Good bye." "Follow me, kid." "You will open the parcel." "Which order are you in, my child?" "I'm with sisters of "lmmaculate Conception"." "Then why are you wearing the habit of Ursuline nuns?" "Perhaps you've fallen in love?" "Oh shit!" "Ma'am!" "Ma'am!" "Matylda..." "What am I going to do now?" "Borys, are you there?" "Say something." "Are you there?" "It's me calling." "Take pity." "Answer me, Borys." "Yes." " Hello, then." "It's Good you're there." " Tusiak, what's up?" "We've had a flood." "That is, we haven't been flooded, but..." "I haven't heard anything." "Because they don't say anything about us." "Well, but we haven't been flooded." "No, no." "Fortunately not." "Only the basement." "Ok, then." "I'll send some dough." "But Borys." "We don't know what to do with the kids." "We've got to help the neighbours all the time I thought I might send the kids to you to Warsaw." "Can they come?" " You would show them Warsaw a bit." " Granted... but not now." "I'm pressed for time like hell." "Stop it Borys." "You always can't and can't." "Do you remember your first-time Warsaw when uncle Marian sent you for your summer camp, remind yourself." "Were it not for that summer camp you'd never have seen your Warsaw." " And now you play a grand Varsovian." " Tusiak, you're talking rubbish." " Borys, did you get the hand mended?" " What hand?" "Uncle Jozek's hand, the one I sent you in a parcel." "You are a scatterbrain, aren't you Borys?" "A wife would do you good." "Keep advice to yourself." "Listen." "Don't send this hand to Warsaw." "There is a service centre in Boleslawiec." "Borys, but we haven't got..." "I know that you are hard pressed." "Seriously though, I can't be your nanny." "Got it?" " Bye." "Borys, may God protect you." " Tusiak, wait." "Shit!" "Blood?" "This old woman, Zosia she's died." "She's lying in the kitchen." "Call in the ambulance." "Don't you believe me?" "If she's dead what is the ambulance for." "Better an undertaker's van." "It's me, Borys." "Yes, ma'am." "Yes she's with me." "No, she's going back to the convent tonight." "Yes, my brother's in law denture." "And how are you feeling?" "Better?" "Greetings." "See you." "She's finished off." "How did you manage to do it?" "I've never been able to." "Let's go." "Will you take me back to Cracow?" "Matylda, this is Borys." "Borys, this is Matylda." "I can't keep a tortoise in the convent." "Will you take her?" "You must have gone mad." "You see how sweet she is." "Take it away." "Take it!" "Take it!" "No?" "I couldn't care less." "All right." "Put her at the back." "I'm hungry." " Do you like pears?" " And you?" "It's tough." "I don't eat such nasty stuff." "OK." "Thanks for the lift." "You can go back." "Have you got cash for a ticket?" "Have you got any money for the ticket?" "Buzz off!" "What's the matter with you?" "And what's the matter with you?" "Excuse me, sisters." "This sister got lost and she can't find her convent." "Good morning, editor." "If you don't mind I won't introduce myself." "Do you remember the "madman's" affair?" "They found a notebook on him." "I'm one of those persons on the list." "The Intercity train "Lajkonlk" from Gdynla to ...I'll have a bunch of flowers." "Cracow Is leaving from track six, platform four." "Borys speaking." "If you have some good news, record it." "If not, hang up." "Hello, Borys." "Baska speaking." "I don't want to talk..." "It's no use." "And you anyway, it's the end between us!" "Hello." "Baska?" "A piece of important news." "I've got something special." "Come!" " Can't this wait until tomorrow?" " No, it can't." "I am to meet somebody tomorrow." "Michal, I've finished with the work by night." "Particularly with you." "And it's you who is saying this." " I'm going to Borys now." " Baska..." "I am begging you." "Baska?" "Come in!" "Do you remember the death of the "Madman" from the Piotrkowska mafia?" "Which one?" "The one on whom a notebook with politicians' names was found." "Oh, yes." "I was supposed to buy that notebook." "A guy who is in this notebook has called me." "He claims he used to launder money for the mafia." "But why does he want to spill the beans?" "He called me from a phone box at the station." " He wants to meet me tomorrow." " Are you going?" "Then why the hell are you calling me in the middle of the night?" "Well, I wanted to ask for your opinion." "I couldn't wait till tomorrow." "If you want my opinion give the case to Borys." "To Borys?" "You think so?" "So you keep getting threatening calls." "In the end, some Ukrainian will blow your brain out." "Then why do you care more about me than about your boyfriend?" "Because I think Borys will do it better..." "I don't know what you are up to?" "Can this be regarded as harassment?" "Hello Borys." "Baska speaking." "I don't want to talk." "It's no use." "And you..." "Anyway, it's the end between us!" "Baska?" "I'm back." "Have you been here?" "I simply had to leave." "I was at Zosia's place." "We talked about her moving out." "When you've heard this news, call me." "I don't quite know what's up." "So long." "Hello Renata." "Borys speaking." "What's going on in the office?" "Any affairs?" "No?" "Listen." "Is Baska anywhere there?" "With the boss?" "Can you put me through?" "Thanks." "Bye." "Hello." "It's good you're calling and what would I do with her by night?" "I want to return to "madman's" affair..." "We've got a new informant." "Baska wants me to give it to you." " Does Baska assign topics?" " Don't make me regret." "I can't." "I'm doing a material for the BBC." "I'm leaving tomorrow morning." "Damn your hackwork!" "You must be here tomorrow morning at ten." "No, at eleven." "I'm going to the doctor's at ten." ""I am the god." "Get aware of this..."" "Give me a puff." ""I've got a fucking schizophrenia, emotional disorders." "Get this on the air, please... for I am the god." "Get aware of this..."" "Hello!" "I've prepared everything on the "madman"." "I'm sending it right away." " And where's Michal?" " I don't know." "You were supposed to come at eleven." ""Four little negroes went to the woods." "One was eaten up by the wolves." "Only three were left..."" ""..." "Three little negroes were digging a hole one was buried in the sand." "Only two were left"." " How are you feeling?" " It's a long time since I slept so well." "Then I envy you." "I haven't been able to sleep lately." "Listen." "I must only take my health care book." "Don't let me disturb you." "I'll be at eleven." "I'm just leaving." "Have you sent the materials to Borys?" "Just go because I want to finish." "You could have done this yesterday." "You were here at the time." "Indeed." "We overstayed a bit." "In fact, we were screwing." "Cognac is over there." "Help yourself." "We'll meet at eleven." "Sent off." "Listen..." "I've got a summons to the tax office." "I thought I was about to be sent to prison." "I went to check and then the hag tells me I have some irregularities." "The bookkeeper made a mistake and I thought I got a fucking sentence." "He's coming back from Vienna today." "Can I?" "You have, Sir, something to settle." " Yes?" " You're not listening." "Some people believe there is a limit on the number of breaths you perform." "And then you die." "You have reached your limit." "You have nowhere to hurry, you're about to die, unless you wake up'." "Oh Borys." "Don't rush." "Move on, you boneshaker." "Borys." "God save him." "I'm back, honey." "Vienna, you know." "I didn't have time." "We'll meet at nine at Holiday Inn." "I'm now at the Central Station." "I still have something to settle." "Bye." "It's thin, isn't it?" "Have you noticed what a choice of ribbons you get at the florist's these days?" "Narrow, wide..." "These colours, hues" "And some have a spotted design, with hearts or dots." "Interesting, isn't it?" "Are you a wholesaler?" "No, an importer of ribbons?" "No." "I'm waiting for someone." "But we can talk before this lady comes." "How do you know this is a woman?" "Do you see how skillfully the shop-girl wraps up the flowers arranges them on anthurium." "Everything has its sequence and ...order." " Like in life." "On the contrary." "You're right there." "I missed the plane yesterday." "I was supposed to fly to Vienna..." "I live in the woods near Warsaw." "I couldn't see any fog in the morning." "Off I go to the airport and it's milk there I rush to the check-in and it's the dead end." "There was nothing to fight for..." "The plane was about to take off." "Then I remembered there is another flight from Cracow." "I left my car in the parking lot and managed to catch the train." "If I hadn't been in time for the negotiations, 30 thousand mattresses would be now filling my stores." "Quite a lot." "I took that contract because it was a fast buck..." "They showed me an approved letter of credit and didn't even bargain for the price." "Destined for the Clipperton island in the Pacific, Sir." "And how did you manage to communicate with those Clippertonians?" "The island is uninhabited for the time being." "Some French concern is building a tourist base for connoisseurs." "I had such pressing debts that I switched over to mattresses." "That was for nothing as they didn't take the article" "What's the difference?" "And yet it is a difference." "I did know." "The machine didn't measure up, you understand?" "It measured up to two metres." "We stretched it by six centimetres and for nothing." "Disaster." "Bankruptcy." "Creditors on my back, tearing at my asshole." "Mightjust as well sit and shoot myself." "At least you had a choice, to shoot yourself or not." "Are you joking?" "I had to get my old mother to sell the flat." "I didn't dare to tell my wife." "I sold a few mattresses to the guy who bought the flat then a customer from Vienna turned up." "They're organizing help for Africa." "In the morning I signed the bloody contract and I was saved." "Then perhaps you might help me?" "Why not?" "Are you looking for a job?" "No, no, I was joking." "I'm waiting for somebody." "But he won't turn up, I think." " Have you got children?" " I have a son." "He's going to study administration." "A gifted little stinker!" "Fancy my wife giving birth to such a child." "It's a miracle." "Have you got children?" "No." "He'll take over the business after me." "Suppose your son won't be interested in mattresses." "What then?" "If the business is sound and everything is running smooth, the whole point is not to spoil it." "You're right." "Do you see this mole." "That dark spot here." "I've always had it." "Yesterday the doctor gave me the results of a check-up and he spoiled everything mmm, melanoma." "Malignant melanoma." "I've got a few weeks left..." "Dum spiro spero." "Thank you very much." ""Don't give up hope as long as you live"." "You said you live outside the town." "Can I ask a favour of you?" "I'm listening." "When you are back home, pick a bunch of grass and count." "That'll be the number of days I'm going to live." "I don't eat such nasty stuff." "Thanks for the lift." "You can go back." "Have you got cash for a ticket?" " Have got money for the ticket." " Buzz off!" "What's the matter with you?" "And what's the matter with you?" "Excuse me, sisters this sister got lost and she can't find her convent." "Good morning, editor." "If you don't mind, I won't introduce myself." "Do you remember the "madman's" affair?" "They found a notebook on him." "I am one of those persons on the list." "I needed money." "I had my back to the wall." "You understand, I can't tell you anything more now." "I've heard your interviews on the radio." "I thought you were human." "I'll be waiting for you tomorrow at the bar in the lobby of the central station." "I'll be holding a bunch of flowers." "The express train from Cracow Is arriving at track three, platform six." "Goska?" "Gabi speaking." "You must take care of Monika." "I'm getting away from it all." "Don't look for me, please." "Bye." "Good morning." "Good morning." "So we are getting phone calls from them at home." "I don't care I will not pay." "Calm down." "That's my decision." "Excuse me." "I think it's here." "Number fifty one and fifty three." "Mind you, this famous pianist is sitting beside me in the compartment." "The one who left during the "Solidarity' period." "Remind me her name, will you." "Oh fuck it!" "Do you know that they've done?" "They called my mother and told her they were going to send me in pieces in a parcel." "She almost suffered a heart attack." "So what?" "I'll show them." "In Poland today only the church is the mainstay of true values." "And you, my child, had a vocation for taking the habit?" "Me?" "Never!" "How come?" "There's high unemployment back home." "No chance for a job after school." "My parents have a farm so they manage somehow she was twenty five and a spinster." "The owner of a confectionery was courting her and my parents spent a lot on her dowry to encourage Jurek." "My mother said that a convent was better than spinsterhood." "And there was nothing else for me to do." "That's right." "And then your sisters got married, moved out and your mother started to press you to take the veil." "You had been one of the best pupils but before graduation you broke down and failed to get your certificate." "Then your mother took you to the convent." "Right?" "Ha!" "Ha!" "This is a story of a nun from the French writer, Diderot." "This was my debut at the theatre, kid." "I don't understand how one can lie so impudently?" "And a habit isn't a rag to play with." "What are you saying?" "Change your seat, Chris." "She's a fraud." "Perhaps even a thief." "Please madam..." "something the matter with her..." "Here you are, kid." "Change into this." "Old cow!" "Buzz off!" "Damn you!" "Yes." " You are in luck, Borys." " What do you mean?" "I had a call from a guy who was involved in "madman's" affair." "He wants to spill the beans." "Drop in for a chat." "Borys, are you there?" "Yes boss, but I thought I was off today." "I've got an assignment from the BBC." "I can't now." "You're talking shit!" "Some chicks again?" "You'll never make a name for yourself." "What an arsehole!" "You're an arsehole yourself." "I got off at the central station." "Gabi." "No tricks, please!" "Sorry, but I've got no time." "You're crazy." "Hello Baska." "Thanks." "It's great you've come." "A cat?" "A nun." "That's not for me?" "In which convent do they wear such habits?" "Listen." "I'll explain it to you." "You won't really believe." "I won't believe." " I'm Gabrysia." " Sister Gabriela?" "She's got quite some taste!" "Baska listen." "I don't actually know her." "She's some compulsive liar." "I was telling you that she gets inside when I am not home and noses around." "I even talked with her father." " Listen." "This is absurd." " Borys, you're a free man." "Don'tjust stand there!" "Put on your clothes and get lost!" "Basia!" "Borys hasn't done anything." "It's all my fault... because I love him." "Child!" "What do you like about him?" "He plays fine." "Plays what?" "Poker, a parlour game, on a computer?" "Do play." "You are not treating this seriously." "Listen." "Just think..." "What's this?" "It's a bugle-call from St Mary's Church." "It's not what you fancied?" "Go back to your daddy, then." "You're crying?" "Did he thrash you?" "No, he wanted to kiss me." "And then?" "I couldn't..." "I'm hopeless" " You're the best in the world." " That's not true." "We'll find you another guy." "Borys has started going bold." "But tomorrow we'll return the habit?" " Go to sleep." " You Gabi are too emotional." "You remember our mum's saying that you've got to keep a tight rein on a bloke." "And you?" "Hi Renata." "I'm late." "Is the boss in?" "No." "He's gone to the doctor's and isn't back yet." "What's wrong with him?" "Nothing." "He's gone to the doctor's." "Wait." "He'll be back soon." "Well..." "I'll come later on." "So you've come." "Some guy arranged to meet me at eight in the bar at the Central Station." "Are you going?" "You'll see if he's got something interesting." "He arranged to meet you." " It seems you're puting me at risk?" " That's what I have you for." " How shall I recognize him?" " He'll be holding a bunch of flowers." "Will you have a game of tennis with me tomorrow?" "We'll talk later." " Listen, but I..." " I've heard you play excellent tennis." ""Warszawianka" tennis courts, at nine." "Yesterday Baska was in a bad shape." "Take care of her." "Are you still angry?" "Did you talk to Michal?" "He gave me a big material." "Perhaps I'm in luck at last." "Michal has got a cancer." "You're joking?" "Borys... miracles do happen, don't they?" "A beer?" "I'll have vodka." "And you?" "You won't be driving today, anyway." "Two vodkas." "Are you in a hurry?" "Always." "There are five minutes left." "Of what?" "Of your life." "But it would be enough to stay here for a quarter." "What then?" "And why should I die?" "And why should you live?" "Is there anyone who cares about you?" "Perhaps the caretaker's daughter." "How much time do I have left?" "What's going on?" " Shit!" "What a bone-shaker." " I need it for today." " And where will you do him in?" " At the Central Station" "Oh shit!" "A hand!" "...Oh God, save him." " Get moving!" " What's up?" "What's the matter with you?" "...I won't ever be..." "What?" "How are you feeling?" "...lying." "Great." "Can we pay her a visit now?" "Yes, as long as it is brief." "Monika." "Come on." " Are we going to Gabi?" " Yes." "In this tram." "It's all my fault." "What?" "Because I told him he was shedding feathers." "Who?" "I mean Gabrysia's Guardian Angel." "The tram then braked and he wasn't able to catch her." "But it isn't your fault that the angel wasn't attentive enough." "Oh Borys, how can you be so naive?"
