"What country you going to?" "Canada." "To your family?" "No." "Acquaintances." "This is passport" "But if you want to take the child with you" "You'll need the mother's consent" "I know" "I just wanted to check whether the passport's ready." "It is."

"My dearest little one." "I can't stand it." "There, there, Majka." "You used to cry like this, too when you were a baby." "But why does she tell her about wolves?" "I believe you're to be up early." "There, there, listen" "Ania!" "Ania!" "You're free, princess" "How did that magic spell go?" "Do you remember, children?" "Abrakadabra, may the cave open!" "You're all invited to the wedding party!" "Are we hiding, Majka?" "No." "We're running away." "Shall we play a trick on mummy?" "I have no coat." "I've brought it with me." "Madam?" "A child's disappeared." "My daughter" "Christ, don't you understand?" "My child's gone" "Shall we have a ride, Ania?" "On what?" "Look." "Have you kidnapped me?" "What?" "You've kidnapped me like in the book" "You're a big girl now, aren't you?" "Mummy says I am exactly." "Now look at me" "You see, mummy isn't your mother." "And I have no mother at all?" "Oh yes," "You have." "Your real mother." "You see, I am your mother." "Yes," "We have... even two..." "Yes, two tents and two mattresses." "Majka went to the bieszczady mountains."

"Perhaps I'd better take to bed?" "No." "She's happy." "Just look at her" "Do you still remember me?" "No." "I paid a lot for it but it's all right now." "Do they know?" "No." "I picked her up at the theater." "Mother was running about like crazy" "Stumbled against a step nearly fall down the stairs" "Why are you speaking of her like this?" "You should be glad to hear it" "It started some time ago" "I think I hate her." "You haven't changed." "Or maybe there are just the two extremes." "Just the two" "For today, the situation is that I took Ania with me" "I won't give her back" "I first thought about it some three or four years ago" "I'm not a good girl in a dark... blue skirt anymore." "The girl who fell in love with her Polish teacher" "Just because what he said was different." "You still have lots of chances." "You haven't stolen anything or killed anybody." "Is it possible to steal your own property?" "I don't know." "I guess not." "This means I haven't stolen anything." "Yeah." "And as for killing." "Yes, I think I could kill her." "It isn't much that you know about your mother." "I've only just learned quite recently" "What?" "Why she's like that." "After I was born she could have no more children." "This means it was because of me in away" "But she always wanted children I know that" "And then, when Ania was born" "You see this does explain a thing or two." "There was another person, too who agree that arrangement." "I was only sixteen then."

"Ahe was the headmistress I was a young teacher" "And you went to the same school" "But you mattered most" "The moment you ought to have said you wanted that baby to" "You said nothing" "I couldn't." "You couldn't?" "You were involved, too." "Mother said, "if you don't want trouble for seducing a minor" "If you want still to be a teacher keep quiet."" "Am I right?" "Ss that what she told you?" "I overheard her say that to father it's just like hear" "You knew she'd do it." "She said it to your father?" "Yes." "Was she lying?" "Just a little." "To be frank, I never thought" "This could be arranged like that in Poland" "That your own child is officially registered as somebody" "Of course it can be arranged." "All it takes is a doctor you know that particular doctor" "Did not know what he was doing and that was that." "I usually take a nap in the afternoon." "An hour or so" "O.k., take it."

"Something that I should never tell to anybody" "When Ania was still a baby" "About six month old, she was" "I returned from a holiday camp somewhat earlier than planned" "They always send me to such camps then" "Well, I came back and I saw mother." "Feeding Ania" "So what?" "It's normal, isn't it?" "No." "She was breast... feeding." "Why, she had no" "That's right." "But she gave suck to Ania, and Ania sucked" "She won't let you go now" "What happened?" "Nothing." "I just cut my finger" "It won't hurt anymore" "Go to sleep now, Ania" "Sleep, my baby" "I'm going out." "Take care of Ania." "What do you want to do?" "Annoy mum just a little" "I'm going to the telephone booth." "No, wait." "Here, use this." "Oh no." "Not from your place they certainly notified the" "It's a case of kidnapping your phone might be tapped" "I'll phone from the booth." "Want me to go with you?" "The booth is at the station."

"She has to." "But nobody knows anything" "So what?" "I'll tell them all." "I can prove it you can prove nothing." "Ania's mine" "She's registered as my daughter." "Only Jadwiga knows you're actually Ania's mother" "But Jadwiga won't tell" "Where are you?" "Father knows, too" "Father knows nothing nothing at all" "And Wojtek." "Don't count on Wojtek." "I'll tell you about it when I'm retired." "Now listen to me."

"Majka was always your little daughter" "Ania always mine." "Majka couldn't have been your little daughter." "You always exacted too much of her." "You wanted her not to be able to cope with it." "She knew she had to become worthy of your love" "And that day when you saw her in the bedroom" "With traces of bandage across her belly" "She was six months gone then" "You started screaming" "I knew that was the end" "She didn't say anything" "Now don't tell me the history of our family." "I know it" "But you think Majka doesn't." "She does all right" "I say, Stefan." "She wants to take Ania away forever" "To take her far away," "If you know what I mean" "Far, far away." "Once and for all." "Where to?" "Canada." "She..." "She got an invitation" "A fictitious one" "And Stefan."
