""Tadeusz, although he almost turned 20," ""had lived since childhood in the city of Vilnius," ""was looked after by a priest who watched over him" ""and raised him according to strict orthodox values." ""Tadeusz thus brought to his native land" ""pure soul, lively thoughts and an innocent heart." ""And also a hunger for fun."

" Sit down and be quiet." " I'm so clumsy." "But as you can see I have the courage to admit it." "I know what you want to say:" "your parents." "Who farted?" "It can happen to anyone." "So, your parents." "Consider whether it is better to break free from parental control or to lead your country towards darkness and superstition." "You are Poles, citizens of a free country." "Will you have enough courage?" "Hip, hip, hip-hip!" "It's nice, hip-hip." "This Sunday we will be helping local farmers." "Thank you." "Goodbye." "Your presence is obligatory."

"The Guide leader came to take a closer look at you." "Headmaster, please." "Tadeusz Krzywanski, Wieslawa Gados," "Roman Tylman, Tomasz Zukowski, stand up." "Which of you would like to take part in the camp?" "But first you'll have to pass an exam." "So who will it be?" "Good." " Are you good students?" " I am." "And you?" "One must have courage." "He can't leave." "He has to look after his mother." "She's sick." "The doctor said she needed to be looked after." "I believe you." "Why are you so nervous?" "It is commendable." "Don't forget... you only have one mother." "And now the next candidate." " What happened?" " I slipped." "Let's listen to what this klutz has to say." "Well?" "My dad is in prison." "What are you doing?" "Stop this now!" "What are your grades like?" " Mediocre." " He's my best student." "He should go to this camp." "We must give him a chance." "Quiet, scumbags!" "Excuse me?" "I'm sorry." "It really wasn't me who suggested the candidates." "I believe you." "I'll take him to the camp without the exam." "He has a strong personality, doesn't he?" "Well, yes..." "He does."

"You should beat your meat at night, to give it real might." " Be prepared!" " Be prepared, leader!" "Breakfast in 15 minutes." "Get dressed." "What are you waiting for, dwarf?" "I..." "I need to use the toilet." "Do you need to piss or shit, scout?" " Shit." " Shit?" "Here you go." "Lavatory number four." "You'll see, you'll be late." "And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us..." "I'll be on duty tomorrow." "' Be Prepared!" "' Be Prepared!" "There are quite a lot of books here, right?" "Yeah." "But not for you, dwarf." "They write all sorts of things in these books." "Come." "Come on." "Do you believe in God, the Almighty Father?" "I do." "Don't admit it." "I'll show you something." "Watch out, someone may tell on you." "You are not allowed here." "Is your father in prison?" "Yes." " Be prepared." " Be prepared." " Be prepared!" " Be prepared, leader!" " Be prepared!" " Be prepared, leader!" "Again, louder, together:" "be prepared!" " Be prepared, leader!" " Sit down." "Now, according to our tradition, the President of the Camp Council will say a few words." "I'd like to welcome scouts from all over Poland to our camp." "We will work and learn together for the next three months and we'll certainly get to know each other well." " Are you good at history?" " What?" "I asked if you were good at history." "Not too bad." " Will you help me?" " Hush." "a school of citizenship and politics." " Because I'm not so good at it." " It is meant to leave a lasting mark and guide us in our future lives." "When we go back to our schools, teams and homes, we will be obliged to take part in various school and district councils." "We shall soon join the Polish Youth Association..." " Go on." " and the most dutiful of us will join the Polish United Workers' Party." "In the future we shall be state and Party officials..." "Jews?" "Or state farmers?" " What is it?" " Provocation!" "Let's go!" "Catch the provocateur!" "Catch him!" "Faster!" " Stop!" " Stop!" "This is a scout camp, not a training camp for commandoes." "I think that they behaved very well." "I'm proud of them." "Comrade, this is sheer stupidity." "Attention!" "At ease!" "It was your duty." "I am proud of you." "' Be Prepared!" "' Be Prepared!" "There were many victims." "Hopes were often dashed."

"Tomek!" "Tomek!" "Do you want to join the photography club?" " Yes, please." " Done." "And you?" "I already belong to the buglers and the art club." "As you wish." "Who wants to join the photography club?" ""Dear Mum, it is my third day at the National Scout Camp." ""I feel well, only my stomach hurts constantly..."" "Scout Tomasz Zukowski!" "Why didn't you chase the provocateur, scout?" " I didn't know." " You didn't know?" "Scout Dominik knew, didn't he?" " Dominik was rewarded." " Rewarded?" "They put you on the red board," " and he's on the black one." " Bullshit." "Wait." "How did you know it was a provocateur?" "He behaved against..." " Against the rules?" " Exactly." "Seems simple, but Scout Dwarf didn't know it." "Do you think there are many provocateurs?" " My father says there are many." " A great many?" "A great many." "And communists?" "Father says that there are not so many real communists." "Does it mean that there are more provocateurs than communists?" "Yes." " No!" " Yes!" "Scout!" "You dropped it." "Thank you." "They can kiss my ass." "Unless my father has already lost his job." "Scout!" "Was it Madagascar?" "You know it was." "Be prepared." " Are you coming?" " Where?" "Do you want to take him with us?" " Do you have any money?" " I do." "How much?" "20 zloty." "OK." "It will end badly." "If anything happens I knew nothing about it." "If anything I knew nothing." "Now, dwarf, Listeners' Choice."

"Protesters running away were hit by bullets shot from the headquarters of the Secret Police." ""What I know about my parents"." "That's the topic of your essay." " You." " Me?" "Tell us what you know about your parents." "We want to get to know you, your parents..." "Who they are, where they work, whether they are Party members, who their friends are." "My parents..." "Dad works for the police." "He's a sergeant, but he doesn't wear a uniform." "Why?" "Dad has... special tasks." "Does he like his job?" "He used to be a locksmith, but he prefers being a policeman." "Why?" "He's paid well so my mum doesn't have to work." "And that's it?" "You probably know nothing about your father." "Tylman, what would you add?" "I think that my friend's father likes his work because he strengthens the power of the people." "Very good." "Repeat the whole sentence." ""My father likes his work because it strengthens the power of the people."" " See?" " Excuse me, leader?" "Don't interrupt." "Can you tell us what your parents do in their free time?" "Father sleeps and Mother prays that he'll get killed." "I don't get it, what do you mean, "that he'll get killed"?" "They shot at him once..." "but he escaped." " And then he got a medal." " What medal?" "For bravery." "And now you will write the whole truth about your parents." "It will be a test." "Say it out loud to the class." "I think this essay should be treated as a test of our character and veracity." " What is your name?" " Scout Dominik." "Hand these out." "You have additional questions on these sheets of paper which you should answer." " Excuse me." " Yes?" "What should we write in answer to" ""political views and foreign contacts of our parents"?" "You have an explanation further on." "What do you want?" " I have to leave for a moment." " Be back soon." "For next Saturday you will write an essay about one of your friends from the camp." "Everything you know about him." ""A scout does everything to make the work of their team..."" " Name." " "yield better results."" "Scout Tomasz Zukowski, temporarily released from classes." "You may go." "Don't come in here!" "There'll be a mess everywhere." "Dad." "Water..." "Flood..." "Dad!" "Now... now..." " Now... now..." " Dirty pig!" "THE MARXIST TELLS THE TRUTH" "Here you are." "Scout, do you know what the Colonial League was?" "No." "And what's this?" "It's my stamp." "Madagascar, 1937." "You brought only one stamp with you?" " I did." " And it happened to be Madagascan?" "Well, yes." "And what do you know about the colonial plans of pre-war Poland?" "Nothing." "And would you like Madagascar to become a Polish colony?" "I guess I would." "You should read this." "It is an essay about you." " About me?" " Yes." "As you can see, some are not quite as lazy as you are." "Tell me, is it true that you once said," ""I will never join the Polish Youth Association," " "because my father would kill me."" " No, it's not true." "I thought so, too." "And is it true that your mother, when she heard of the death of Comrade Stalin, said that God finally showed some mercy upon us?" "Yes, it's true." "But I didn't know what it meant then." "Seriously." "I believe you." " Do you like preserves?" " I do." "Homemade." "My mother also makes preserves." "You wrote a beautiful letter to your mother." "How do you know?" "That is the other thing I wanted to talk to you about." "But you aren't angry with me, are you?" "No, but it's not right." "Maybe." "Maybe you don't like it, but I think our camp correspondence should not be kept secret." "We should get to know each other better." "At least this is the way I was brought up." "I'd like to have a son like you." "And now listen!" "We wipe the portraits dry, don't leave any stains or water." "Carefully." "A portrait behind glass is a particularly difficult object." "You have to find an angle for the camera and light to avoid reflections." "And now take your places and your cameras." "Scouts, good luck with your work." "STAFF" "But they also write what they want." "They slander good communists, scream about the crimes of Stalinism." "Can't the Party close down such a newspaper?" "Yes, I know these arguments." "Close down the newspaper, ban criticism and discussion, strengthen censorship and turn Poland into one big Poznan." "Blood, shooting, workers against the Party." "No, they weren't workers." "They're provocateurs from the West!" "They paid them in dollars in order to spill blood in Poznan!" "Members of the Party, the Polish Youth Association, students, workers..." "You call them "provocateurs from the West"?" "I don't know you, Zbyszek." "It was you who taught me that the Party was never wrong, that history was on our side." "You are right, history is on our side." "The strength of the Party is in its ability to take responsibility for its mistakes." "It is not afraid of criticism of its errors and injustices." "That's why Gomulka has already been rehabilitated and will certainly join the Central Committee." "Why did you come here?" "To destroy me?" "I came because I love you." "Stop it." "Leave me alone!" "Take your newspapers and go back to Warsaw." "What are you doing here?" " The door was open." " So what?" "!" " You're lost." " You didn't understand me." "She wants the world to be a better place." "She wants people to be honest, equal." "In no time, you'll be the same son of a bitch as my father." "That leader of yours and the headmaster..." " Although the headmaster is OK." " Are you mad?" "No, shorty, I'm not mad." "They are." "And now you are, too." "You know what?" "My father is going to be released soon." "How do you know he'll ever be released?" " Because he is innocent." " She told you that?" "Yes, it was a mistake." " They made a mistake?" " Yes, as it happens." "That bitch has turned your head around." "Take it back." "Right now!" " She's mocking you, dwarf." " You're lying." "You are mean!" "Mean and stupid!" "Careful." "Wait!" "Not so hard!" "Enough." "Stop." "Won't he tell on us?" "No." "By abusing the working classes and their hard work the capitalist gained disproportionately." "By abusing the working classes and their hard work" " the capitalist gained..." " Dominik." "Come with us." "Listen, are you a true communist?" "Of course." "What is this about?" "I think he's telling the truth." "Is he?" "Swear that you are a real communist." " So help me God." " OK." "This place is cool." "Cool." "What's going on?" "Jadwiga Mlotkowska answered prosecutor Leman." "She said..." "Have you whenever, wherever..." "Turn up the volume." "said any such words to police officers who you allege tortured and murdered in cold blood, with malice aforethought, prisoners who were in their power?" "I won't listen to it!" "I am asking if it was revealed what methods..." "Swine!" "This is a provocation!" "Let me go!" "Help!" "Jurek!" "Stop it!" "No..." "Leave him." "Now!" "The unjustly sentenced are returning to their homes and families." "The rehabilitation of further political prisoners has been halted by the opposition of the majority of the members of Party authorities and security forces."

" Be prepared." "Bravo!" "WELCOME HEROIC MINERS" "Silence!" "Quiet!" "Quiet!" "Listen." "When our guests arrive everyone assume positions." "Let's have quick rehearsal." "Come on!" "Tomasz." " Yes?"

"I wanted to let you know that when the best sons of this country, through their intensive work and learning, give their socialist fatherland all their effort, subversive elements with the assistance of Western imperialists have begun their subversive activities in our country."

"As I've said, expel me from the camp." "Check this, please." "We have other plans for you." "Your honest speech was very well received by our comrades from Warsaw." "And we agree."
