00:00:00A few hours later...
00:00:17Martusiu...
00:00:19Yes, yes...
00:00:20You don't say anything...
00:00:22I'm talking non-stop!
00:00:24You're so boring...
00:00:30Yes, yes...
00:00:32You know what?
00:00:34I'm going to cry a little bit in a moment.
00:00:36Great idea!
00:00:38Let her cry.
00:00:40As soon as I'm done with the patient,
00:00:42I'll ask her why she was crying.
00:00:447, 8, 9...
00:00:48Just don't cry!
00:00:52She promised she would cry.
00:00:54She was so happy.
00:00:57Don't worry.
00:00:59When I go to a guest performance...
00:01:01I understand.
00:01:03Until now, you took me only with a good heart.
00:01:05You could have been heartless.
00:01:07But at home,
00:01:09we put everything on the king.
00:01:11Yes, but...
00:01:13Mrs. Marta Jędrzejowska
00:01:15was an actress in Warsaw herself.
00:01:17And she had her greatest success
00:01:19when some modern primadonnas
00:01:21were waiting in heaven for their Bocian.
00:01:23Don't you see 7x8?
00:01:26Yes, I do.
00:01:28That's why Mrs. Marta Jędrzejowska
00:01:30will return to Warsaw this evening.
00:01:32And the primadonna will dress herself,
00:01:34she will undress herself,
00:01:36she will arrange her train tickets herself,
00:01:38she will calculate her income.
00:01:44It's good that you reminded me, Marta.
00:01:46Listen when I'm talking to you.
00:01:48Yes, I'm listening, I'm listening.
00:01:50How many days did I play in Poznań?
00:01:52It was Sunday.
00:01:55It was Sunday, 10...
00:01:57No, no, no, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:01:5910, 10, something different.
00:02:03Plus two afternoons.
00:02:05We've been in Warsaw since Monday,
00:02:07today is Thursday, right?
00:02:09From tomorrow we'll play until the next Sunday.
00:02:11Marta, how many days will it be?
00:02:15Again, 10.
00:02:19And how much did we earn?
00:02:22Wait, wait, wait.
00:02:24For you it's 25%,
00:02:26so you'll earn 2,136 zlotys,
00:02:28I mean 78 zlotys a day.
00:02:32And they guaranteed a minimum of 150.
00:02:36It's not too much.
00:02:38It's not so little again.
00:02:42You're the only person
00:02:44who can deal with me, you know?
00:02:46You're just spoiling me too much.
00:02:48Shout at me.
00:02:50We should come up with something sometimes.
00:02:53When I shout, you start crying.
00:02:55Because I know it hurts.
00:02:57A fantastic song.
00:02:59Yes, it's fantastic.
00:03:01You have a sense of humor.
00:03:05Left hand, please.
00:03:07To the middle.
00:03:15You have to tell me everything.
00:03:17Love, fame, money, everything.
00:03:19Don't tell me you're waiting for a trip.
00:03:22I know we'll be back in 10 days.
00:03:24When I say something,
00:03:26everyone talks about cards.
00:03:28Seven, eight, nine.
00:03:30One at a time.
00:03:32We see it in the first cards.
00:03:34A trip.
00:03:36That's right, a trip.
00:03:38We don't know if it's about that trip.
00:03:40No, no, no.
00:03:42I won't hide anything.
00:03:44Absolutely nothing.
00:03:46Even the smallest thing.
00:03:48I can't say anything today.
00:03:51You don't have to.
00:03:53One, two, three, four.
00:03:55Success.
00:03:57A great success.
00:03:59It's a word.
00:04:01Where?
00:04:03You're lucky.
00:04:05What a funny card.
00:04:07Seven, eight, nine.
00:04:09One at a time.
00:04:11More and more.
00:04:13It's me, right?
00:04:15Of course.
00:04:17One, two, three, four, five.
00:04:20It's him.
00:04:22Who?
00:04:24Brunet.
00:04:26Brunet?
00:04:28Young?
00:04:30Of course he's young.
00:04:32If he wasn't young,
00:04:34we wouldn't be here.
00:04:36He's neither old nor young.
00:04:38He's in love with me.
00:04:40Very much so.
00:04:42But long ago.
00:04:44Brunet is out.
00:04:46Great love,
00:04:48but a little bit
00:04:50tired.
00:04:52And I'm in love with him.
00:04:54I've never seen
00:04:56such a strange card.
00:04:58Tell me if I'm in love with him.
00:05:00You have to know.
00:05:02It looks like yes.
00:05:04No, it looks like no.
00:05:06I'm wrong.
00:05:08It looks like you would like
00:05:10to fall in love with him
00:05:12but you can't.
00:05:15As usual in my life.
00:05:17But he has money.
00:05:19A lot.
00:05:21Maybe millions.
00:05:23Maybe even more.
00:05:25A hundred thousand.
00:05:27It's something very strange.
00:05:29It looks as if he had them
00:05:31and as if he didn't.
00:05:33They belong to him,
00:05:35but they don't belong to him.
00:05:37How do you know all this?
00:05:39It's a bad card.
00:05:41It's lying inside
00:05:44and you can see
00:05:46everything between him and you.
00:05:48What could it be?
00:05:50It's not even bad luck.
00:05:52I don't know what it is.
00:05:54It's something
00:05:56that divides you.
00:05:58Stupid, stupid,
00:06:00nonsense, nonsense.
00:06:02No, no.
00:06:04Why are you putting the cards together?
00:06:06You haven't told me everything yet.
00:06:08It's getting dark.
00:06:10I can't see the cards.
00:06:13No, no, no.
00:06:15You can't do that.
00:06:17It's bad luck.
00:06:19I won't say a word to you.
00:06:21A man carries his fate
00:06:23since birth
00:06:25just like his smell.
00:06:27One smells like this,
00:06:29the other like that.
00:06:31I don't understand it,
00:06:33but a dog recognizes a man
00:06:35by his smell.
00:06:37Sometimes I think
00:06:39that fate is the same
00:06:41no matter how much perfume you put on.
00:06:43Fate smells you
00:06:45from all the smells.
00:06:47I don't know
00:06:49what hits you
00:06:51the most.
00:06:53Stop talking
00:06:55about such sad things.
00:06:59You're here in the dark?
00:07:01You weren't in the mood
00:07:03to turn on the light.
00:07:05I want to spare you.
00:07:08Oh!
00:07:10You've turned on the light.
00:07:16Is it still far to Poznań?
00:07:18We'll be in Gniezno
00:07:20in a few minutes.
00:07:22It's still an hour to Poznań.
00:07:30Still a long way to go.
00:07:33Oh!
00:07:35You are
00:07:37amazing creatures.
00:07:39I look at you
00:07:41and I can't understand
00:07:43any of you.
00:07:45Who are you talking about?
00:07:47You.
00:07:49Today's stars.
00:07:51What do you mean?
00:07:53I've been on stage
00:07:55for almost 40 years.
00:07:57You don't understand
00:07:59what it means.
00:08:02How many roles did I play?
00:08:08To be honest,
00:08:10they weren't roles.
00:08:12Maybe I wasn't
00:08:14very talented.
00:08:16Were you pretty?
00:08:18I was pretty
00:08:20at that time.
00:08:22But I was too thin
00:08:24for a figure.
00:08:26I got married
00:08:28too early
00:08:31because my husband
00:08:33had an apartment.
00:08:35And that's how
00:08:37my acting career
00:08:39ended.
00:08:41Because you had a house
00:08:43and a husband?
00:08:45What are you talking about?
00:08:47Just a moment,
00:08:49dear lady.
00:08:51I'm not surprised
00:08:53that we have Christchurch today.
00:08:55I'm not surprised
00:08:57that they don't run after you.
00:08:59Why so many rehearsals?
00:09:01One week is enough for me.
00:09:03You go to the theatre
00:09:05at 7 a.m.
00:09:07and come back at midnight.
00:09:09I'm so tired.
00:09:13How do you resist?
00:09:15Are you actresses?
00:09:17You're office girls.
00:09:19Theatrical office girls.
00:09:21And in these conditions
00:09:23men should go to the theatre.
00:09:25What are you talking about?
00:09:28I don't go to the theatre
00:09:30because I work so hard.
00:09:32And where are your scandals?
00:09:34What do you mean?
00:09:36What would we do?
00:09:38I don't mean anything.
00:09:40I'm just asking
00:09:42where is your manufacturer?
00:09:44Your officer?
00:09:46Your director?
00:09:48Even if it was a poet?
00:09:50And the whole city
00:09:52has to know
00:09:54that one man left his wife
00:09:57in such a state
00:09:59that he went crazy.
00:10:01You believe that people go to the theatre
00:10:03because the secretary
00:10:05gives announcements in the newspaper.
00:10:07And I'm telling you
00:10:09that when once,
00:10:1130 years ago,
00:10:13Ladzińska came in her carriage
00:10:15through the alley
00:10:17there was not a single free seat
00:10:19in the cash register.
00:10:21She was a good actress.
00:10:23I don't know if she was good or not.
00:10:26But when she was acting
00:10:28the whole floor was shining
00:10:30with the orders of 20 Russian officers
00:10:32and students in the gallery.
00:10:34Oh my God,
00:10:36what they were doing there!
00:10:40I remember
00:10:42Pora Lipowska.
00:10:44She used to act in an art...
00:10:46What was her name?
00:10:48Oh, we know!
00:10:50Lożenina!
00:10:52She didn't come
00:10:54to the performance
00:10:56since that beautiful evening.
00:10:58The whole theatre was terribly upset.
00:11:00By some miracle,
00:11:02a replacement was made
00:11:04but the next day
00:11:06she didn't come again.
00:11:08In the evening,
00:11:10in the theatre,
00:11:12she was already dead.
00:11:14It just wasn't three days.
00:11:16She left with a few officers
00:11:18to Vilnius.
00:11:21But then,
00:11:23they played this play
00:11:25140 times
00:11:27and the audience
00:11:29went crazy!
00:11:31Oh!
00:11:33Three days and three nights
00:11:35without a bath and disgusting!
00:11:39Oh, Helena,
00:11:41please,
00:11:43don't tell anyone
00:11:45about that theatre!
00:11:47It wasn't hygienic
00:11:50and it wasn't worth it.
00:11:52An artist can't win the audience
00:11:54with hygiene!
00:11:56Martusiu, please,
00:11:58don't shout at me.
00:12:00What did you ask me to shout?
00:12:02And never do what I ask you to do.
00:12:04Gniezno!
00:12:06Two minutes of standing!
00:12:08Gniezno!
00:12:10One more hour!
00:12:16Mrs. Helena!
00:12:20You know,
00:12:22I did it all
00:12:24with a good heart.
00:12:30How long has it been
00:12:32since you left your husband?
00:12:36Four years.
00:12:40You see, I've known you
00:12:42from the first steps on the stage.
00:12:44No one would have guessed
00:12:46and only I
00:12:49knew your talent.
00:12:51So when they started
00:12:53saying you wanted to leave your husband,
00:12:55I was so happy!
00:12:57You were happy?
00:12:59Yes, I thought,
00:13:01finally, a real artist!
00:13:03Marta!
00:13:05Yes,
00:13:07that's how it started.
00:13:09You've been living
00:13:11like a box of matches
00:13:13for four years.
00:13:15Marta, we won't talk about that.
00:13:18But, you see...
00:13:32I hope no one comes in here.
00:13:48I hope no one comes in here.
00:14:06All the wagons are empty.
00:14:08In our department
00:14:10there must be such a crowd.
00:14:12Marta!
00:14:14Please sit down,
00:14:16Mr. Neighbor.
00:14:24You know,
00:14:26Mrs. Helen,
00:14:28what else did I remember?
00:14:30Well, that Ladzinski
00:14:32fell in love with a man
00:14:34from Lodz, a very rich man.
00:14:36Every evening,
00:14:38he came to her,
00:14:40bought flowers,
00:14:43and, fortunately,
00:14:45one day she was supposed to play again.
00:14:47The whole theatre,
00:14:49to the last seat,
00:14:51was sold out.
00:14:53In the evening,
00:14:55there was no one in the theatre,
00:14:57only a factory in Lodz.
00:14:59And what happened?
00:15:01The day before,
00:15:03he bought the whole theatre,
00:15:05paid for all the tickets,
00:15:07because he wanted Ladzinska
00:15:09to play only for him.
00:15:12And he came to her
00:15:14because she triumphed
00:15:16over her friends.
00:15:18I just don't understand.
00:15:20He hit the jackpot.
00:15:22Very funny.
00:15:26Has anyone come?
00:15:34Have you sat in the nest?
00:15:38Is it quite bright now?
00:15:41It's quite dark.
00:15:43I can't find the money in my bag.
00:15:45Of course, because they're not there.
00:15:47Yes, I thought that's why it's so dark.
00:15:49Sir, I'm very sorry.
00:15:51Do we have a delay to Poznań today?
00:15:57What time is it, Martusiu?
00:16:03It's eight.
00:16:07Because you just left
00:16:09Do you want me to call you?
00:16:11No, thank you.
00:16:13It's eight every day, isn't it?
00:16:15The curtain goes up
00:16:17and you come on stage.
00:16:19How do you know that?
00:16:21Have you seen me on stage?
00:16:23Often.
00:16:25A few times.
00:16:27In Warsaw?
00:16:29No, in Poznań.
00:16:31The last time you were there.
00:16:33I played there only in one play.
00:16:35And you said you saw me a few times.
00:16:38Of course, a few times in this play.
00:16:45Did you like it so much?
00:16:47I always like it.
00:16:49Almost always.
00:16:51Really.
00:16:53I often go to the theatre.
00:16:55I like it.
00:16:57But this time it wasn't like that.
00:16:59The play was poor.
00:17:01But you were really great.
00:17:05I'm glad.
00:17:08You look like in the first act
00:17:10when you leave.
00:17:12The words were the same.
00:17:14I like it.
00:17:16You have a great memory.
00:17:18Yes, I watched you so many times.
00:17:20You played 12 times
00:17:22and I was only 9.
00:17:24Only 9?
00:17:26Yes.
00:17:28One evening I was scheduled
00:17:30and two times I was busy in the afternoon.
00:17:32I had a job.
00:17:34I was afraid you would notice it from the stage.
00:17:37What?
00:17:41I'm sorry.
00:17:43I know,
00:17:45conversation doesn't stick
00:17:47but I have no experience.
00:17:55Today
00:17:57I was in Gniezno
00:17:59for business.
00:18:01I went there in the morning
00:18:03and now I'm back.
00:18:06Sometimes it seems
00:18:08that we artists
00:18:10become less and less needed.
00:18:14And more and more often
00:18:16it seems to us
00:18:18that we work only
00:18:20for the premiere to be successful.
00:18:22And then
00:18:24there are days
00:18:26when we can't look ourselves in the eye.
00:18:28And it's not because we play badly
00:18:30or the play is bad
00:18:32but because people,
00:18:34our profession,
00:18:36doesn't make any sense in our times.
00:18:38I understand.
00:18:40I understand how you feel.
00:18:44That's how a doctor should feel
00:18:46if all people were healthy.
00:18:48No, sir. Even worse and even stupider.
00:18:50Because theatre is not only a profession for us.
00:18:52It's our life, our everything.
00:18:54Sometimes it seems
00:18:56that theatre is a terrible company
00:18:58that orders us
00:19:00how to live, love, think.
00:19:03It devours our nerves
00:19:05and heart
00:19:07and doesn't let us die.
00:19:11Are you reading, Mrs. Helena?
00:19:13No, Marta.
00:19:15We're talking.
00:19:17Ah, with your neighbor.
00:19:19We also came to the party
00:19:21with your conductor.
00:19:23That's good.
00:19:25Stay there, darling,
00:19:27but come back before I leave.
00:19:29Of course, of course.
00:19:33You see, she was an actress for 40 years.
00:19:35Her husband was also an actor
00:19:37and now he's a tailor
00:19:39because he can't live without theatre.
00:19:41Before you came here,
00:19:43she was telling me about the theatre
00:19:45and how it was in her time.
00:19:47She was telling me everything.
00:19:49Faith in his needs.
00:19:51Today there is no faith anymore.
00:19:55She says that we,
00:19:57today's actresses,
00:19:59are only theatrical officials.
00:20:03No, that's not true.
00:20:07You can't imagine
00:20:09how much I love theatre.
00:20:11Even when some
00:20:13whore came to visit us,
00:20:15I went to see her twice.
00:20:17Twice?
00:20:19Yes. They didn't play anymore.
00:20:23That's amazing.
00:20:25Humor is not my strong point.
00:20:29You are such a person
00:20:32that we dream of on stage.
00:20:36To see such people,
00:20:38to hear that they love theatre,
00:20:40that they often visit it,
00:20:42that we mean something to them.
00:20:46I'm going now
00:20:48for a guest performance
00:20:50in Poznań.
00:20:52This time a little longer.
00:20:54Yes, ten days.
00:20:56Oh, you know.
00:20:59When I look at you
00:21:05you are dressed...
00:21:09Yes, today.
00:21:11In a blink of an eye
00:21:13I would make you a first-class dandy.
00:21:15It would be hard work.
00:21:17Very hard.
00:21:19And you bought this dress ready.
00:21:21Yes.
00:21:23So let me promise you
00:21:25that you will dress up
00:21:27at the best tailor.
00:21:29I won't have time for dressing up.
00:21:31On the contrary, you won't have the right
00:21:33to come to the theatre.
00:21:35A word?
00:21:37A word.
00:21:41Tell me,
00:21:43do you buy a ticket every time?
00:21:45Just the truth.
00:21:47Do you go to the theatre
00:21:49only when someone gives it to you?
00:21:51I always buy a ticket.
00:21:53I never even took a discount.
00:21:56If there were more people like you.
00:22:00I've been going to the theatre for many years
00:22:02and I know many artists.
00:22:06So you know them.
00:22:10But I've never met a person like you.
00:22:14I couldn't even imagine
00:22:16that someone like you exists.
00:22:20You know, you are the same in life
00:22:22as on stage.
00:22:25You are so self-motivated,
00:22:27you laugh, you talk.
00:22:29I wanted to say something very natural.
00:22:33Excuse me, what are you reading?
00:22:35This?
00:22:37Climates, Mourouaz.
00:22:39Everything.
00:22:41You don't read books?
00:22:43No, I have a lot of work.
00:22:45Excuse me, could I ask you
00:22:47for this book?
00:22:49Thank you very much.
00:22:51How do I take it?
00:22:54I'm sorry, I thought
00:22:56you were giving it to me.
00:22:58I thought I just wanted to look at you.
00:23:00But no, please,
00:23:02let me take it as a souvenir.
00:23:04That's what I was thinking.
00:23:06Wonderful.
00:23:08It's the first time I've made a gift
00:23:10to a stranger.
00:23:12Oh, I'm sorry,
00:23:14I didn't have the courage
00:23:16to introduce myself.
00:23:18Let me introduce myself.
00:23:20Brandt and son.
00:23:23Hugo Brandt and son.
00:23:27You have an adult son.
00:23:29No, I'm a gentleman.
00:23:33That means your father
00:23:35and you are his son.
00:23:37No, ma'am.
00:23:39My father is long dead.
00:23:41I don't have a father or a son.
00:23:43I'm alone.
00:23:45I don't understand.
00:23:47You said Brandt and son.
00:23:49That's the name of the company.
00:23:51It's 119 years old.
00:23:53In 6 years
00:23:55we'll be celebrating
00:23:57the company's 5th anniversary.
00:23:59The company will be 125 years old.
00:24:01You know, it's always been that way.
00:24:03It was run by a father and the eldest son.
00:24:05And when the father died,
00:24:07the son became the father
00:24:09who in turn had a son.
00:24:11And it's always been that way.
00:24:13Why didn't you get married?
00:24:15My father died too early.
00:24:17Too early for the company.
00:24:20I was still young
00:24:22and I wasn't married yet.
00:24:24The company was growing
00:24:26and there were more and more
00:24:28sellers and shops.
00:24:30I just didn't have time
00:24:32to get married.
00:24:34You didn't have time
00:24:36to get married?
00:24:38Yes, I had to sit in the office
00:24:40all day.
00:24:42Do you have to look for
00:24:44a wife only during the day?
00:24:46You have to go for a walk
00:24:49I mean, fall in love.
00:24:51I didn't mean to use
00:24:53the word fall in love.
00:24:55It would be too risky.
00:24:57Even if you had more time
00:24:59to look for a wife.
00:25:01No, no,
00:25:03it's not for me.
00:25:05It would be too risky for the company.
00:25:07You have to marry a woman
00:25:09who fits the company.
00:25:11Who would understand my work.
00:25:13Who would know that in the evenings
00:25:15I'm tired, right?
00:25:18And with whom
00:25:20I would have a son.
00:25:22You have to look for such a woman
00:25:24in peace.
00:25:26And when you fall in love
00:25:28you have to.
00:25:30It would be bad
00:25:32for the company.
00:25:34But it's too late.
00:25:36Besides, you know,
00:25:38when I had more time
00:25:40I didn't have money.
00:25:42Now I have money
00:25:44but I don't have time.
00:25:47Colonial goods.
00:25:49Coffee, tea, rice, sugar, spices.
00:25:51I buy directly in Brazil, China.
00:25:53Last year I also ran a winery.
00:25:55We have Spanish, Italian, French wines.
00:25:57And rum.
00:25:59Everything else, too, of course.
00:26:01For example, canned goods.
00:26:03I employ 40 people.
00:26:05We have 7 shops in smaller towns.
00:26:07And the company is still growing.
00:26:09You know, I just want to open
00:26:11a new place.
00:26:13I already have one in mind.
00:26:15Do you work every day?
00:26:17Yes.
00:26:19All year long?
00:26:2120 years already.
00:26:23And you don't go anywhere?
00:26:25You don't have a holiday?
00:26:27I used to go when my father was alive.
00:26:29But since the war I've never gone.
00:26:31Why?
00:26:33Because they would rob me.
00:26:35Who?
00:26:37My people.
00:26:39What?
00:26:41You have 40 employees
00:26:44I have all of them.
00:26:46As long as I sit there all day.
00:26:48But if I left, they would rob me.
00:26:50How can you think so badly of people?
00:26:52I don't think badly of them.
00:26:54I just know that if they got such a fortune
00:26:56they would have to steal it.
00:26:58It's a big fortune.
00:27:00You know, all money is in circulation.
00:27:02It's in goods.
00:27:04If I wanted to liquidate it,
00:27:06maybe there would be, I don't know...
00:27:08Let's say...
00:27:10100,000.
00:27:13No, more.
00:27:152,000,000.
00:27:172,000,000?
00:27:21You know,
00:27:23what you're saying is driving me crazy.
00:27:25Why do you need all of this?
00:27:27Why?
00:27:29You don't even want to leave for a moment?
00:27:31I would like to.
00:27:35Mediterranean sea,
00:27:37sapphire sky
00:27:39on a ship.
00:27:42No.
00:27:44How do you know that?
00:27:46A bit of geography, a bit of imagination.
00:27:48Don't be ashamed.
00:27:50I'm ashamed of you.
00:27:52Let him leave for a moment.
00:27:54You'll see what the world looks like.
00:27:58They will rob you
00:28:00for 10 zlotys of sugar,
00:28:02for 50 almonds and coffee for 20 zlotys.
00:28:04And for 5,000 zlotys?
00:28:06What does it mean?
00:28:08What is 5,000 for you?
00:28:10For people who don't even have 1,000 zlotys,
00:28:12they take the whole fortune
00:28:14from their mouths to leave.
00:28:16Because they have to, because somehow
00:28:18they owe it to themselves.
00:28:20Please, don't talk to me at all.
00:28:22You don't know me yet.
00:28:24Please, don't talk to me at all.
00:28:26Scoundrel.
00:28:31Scoundrel.
00:28:34Well?
00:28:38Why don't you say anything?
00:28:40You offended me.
00:28:42Good.
00:28:44They will rob you.
00:28:46They will rob you for 5,000 zlotys.
00:28:48Your trip will be so much more expensive.
00:28:50No.
00:28:52You misunderstood me, lady.
00:28:54It's not at all about
00:28:56whether they will rob me.
00:28:58The point is that it would look like
00:29:00a rat would have nested in my interest.
00:29:03I would have an impure conscience
00:29:05against the company.
00:29:07What is a company, your 2 million?
00:29:09Our 119 years.
00:29:11But everything around is in motion.
00:29:13Everything is changing.
00:29:15And you are dragging
00:29:17these 119 millstones with you.
00:29:19I thought I would run this company
00:29:21for another 6 years.
00:29:23These will be difficult years.
00:29:25And then?
00:29:27You will wait until 150.
00:29:29No, then I will give the company
00:29:32to the accountant.
00:29:34What?
00:29:36You want to give me 2 million?
00:29:38They will pay me some rent.
00:29:40Or I will take a bigger sum
00:29:42of 50,000, 100,000
00:29:44and go to the Mediterranean.
00:29:46And you think I will allow it?
00:29:50Lady...
00:29:52Oh, don't talk about it.
00:29:54I have no right to meddle in your affairs.
00:29:56Don't talk about it.
00:29:58It annoys me.
00:30:01Can I ask you something?
00:30:03Go ahead.
00:30:05If you felt tired
00:30:07or in love
00:30:09or if you didn't want to play anymore
00:30:11you could leave the theatre, right?
00:30:13Leave the stage and stop.
00:30:15Of course I could.
00:30:17Good.
00:30:21But while you are in the theatre
00:30:23could you tell yourself
00:30:25I will play worse from today
00:30:27so I need less rehearsals
00:30:29so I can go for a walk
00:30:31or sleep longer?
00:30:37What an unusual
00:30:39meeting we have today.
00:30:43I have a feeling
00:30:45we will be good friends.
00:30:47I am very happy
00:30:49to meet you.
00:30:51I had no idea
00:30:53what you look like
00:30:55when you are laughing.
00:30:58Oh, yes.
00:31:00It happens very rarely.
00:31:06We are not far from Poznań.
00:31:10You will be welcome in the chapel.
00:31:12Thank you very much.
00:31:16It was nice to talk
00:31:18with your neighbour.
00:31:20Marta, I wanted to introduce you.
00:31:22This is Mr. Brandt from Poznań.
00:31:24It's a pleasure for me
00:31:27to meet such an elegant client.
00:31:29Jędrzejowska?
00:31:31Brandt.
00:31:33Mr. Brandt?
00:31:35Yes.
00:31:37I know this name.
00:31:39You know, there is a shop in Poznań
00:31:41very famous.
00:31:43We used to buy coffee and tea there.
00:31:45A great shop.
00:31:47Mr. Brandt is the owner of this shop.
00:31:49Mr.?
00:31:51Yes.
00:31:53The main owner?
00:31:56I am sorry
00:31:58that I dared to call you
00:32:00such an elegant client.
00:32:02I am very sorry.
00:32:04It doesn't matter.
00:32:06I am happy to meet you.
00:32:08I always say
00:32:10that you are an old stupid woman.
00:32:12I am sorry again.
00:32:14But it means
00:32:16that you are very rich.
00:32:18Marta?
00:32:20Yes.
00:32:22We are going to the station.
00:32:24We shouldn't go out together.
00:32:26You are so famous here.
00:32:28Did you want to say
00:32:30that you are so famous here?
00:32:32Yes.
00:32:34I would like to visit
00:32:36your wonderful company.
00:32:38I didn't dare to invite you.
00:32:40Goodbye.
00:32:42Of course, I invite you too.
00:32:46I am sorry again.
00:32:48Goodbye.
00:32:54Excuse me.
00:32:56I just wanted to say
00:32:58that we didn't meet by chance.
00:33:00I heard from Klokowski
00:33:02that you are coming
00:33:04by this train today.
00:33:06So I went to meet you.
00:33:08Goodbye.
00:33:16What happened?
00:33:18It's that Brunet
00:33:20from Kraków.
00:33:23Brunet from Kraków?
00:33:30Of course.
00:33:32Of course.
00:33:34The boss is the boss
00:33:36and the employee is the employee.
00:33:38The employee can have gray hair,
00:33:40has three fingers,
00:33:42but he is still
00:33:44just an employee.
00:33:46Excuse me.
00:33:48Did the boss say something?
00:33:50Nothing.
00:33:53It's the only thing
00:33:55the boss can do.
00:33:57No, nobody knows anything.
00:33:59Nobody in the whole city.
00:34:01And if they laugh,
00:34:03it's not because it's a secret.
00:34:05Has anyone ever seen
00:34:07a merchant of colonial goods
00:34:09stealing in broad daylight
00:34:11from a shop
00:34:13and driving against such a woman?
00:34:15Just such a woman.
00:34:17And even if you had
00:34:19a free train ticket,
00:34:22for at least 8 zlotys,
00:34:24this woman, this vampire,
00:34:26will lead us to ruin.
00:34:28Mr. Chyliczek, I demand
00:34:30that you calm down immediately.
00:34:32Excuse me, what did you say?
00:34:34I never repeat the same thing twice.
00:34:36You talk too much.
00:34:38I talk?
00:34:40I work,
00:34:42and at work I never talk.
00:34:44I only think aloud.
00:34:46But you think about
00:34:48my private life.
00:34:51But you will never stop
00:34:53my free spirit.
00:34:55Mr. Chyliczek, enough.
00:34:57Please don't get involved
00:34:59in other people's affairs, okay?
00:35:01Of course.
00:35:03These are other people's affairs.
00:35:05First, jokes, flirts,
00:35:07flowers, chocolates, sweets.
00:35:09And how you slept,
00:35:11and why bad,
00:35:13and what you dreamed,
00:35:15and what and where.
00:35:17Then clothes to measure.
00:35:19And Montecarlo,
00:35:21we will learn to dance,
00:35:23and then the end of the plot.
00:35:25No, I'm not plotting yet.
00:35:27Excuse me, did the boss say something?
00:35:29Does that mean I'm fired?
00:35:33The boss feels like a student,
00:35:35he can run after women,
00:35:37and in the gates
00:35:39he can stand up and send flowers.
00:35:41Because when is he supposed to do it?
00:35:43When he is already an old horse?
00:35:45When he has such a company on his head?
00:35:48When he is the president
00:35:50of the Chamber of Commerce?
00:35:52And those packages,
00:35:54on Wednesday, Tuesday, yesterday,
00:35:56the day before yesterday,
00:35:58all sent to the theater.
00:36:00And together,
00:36:02it was like this.
00:36:04Two kilos of coffee,
00:36:06two kilos of tea,
00:36:08five kilos of tea,
00:36:10two kilos of sugar.
00:36:12What do you really want?
00:36:14Twenty cans of canned goods,
00:36:17and ten kilos of sugar.
00:36:19And?
00:36:21And is it all supposed to be recorded
00:36:23on your private account?
00:36:25Mr. Kieliczek,
00:36:27why haven't you recorded it yet?
00:36:29Because something will undoubtedly come.
00:36:31And for you to know,
00:36:33if I want,
00:36:35the whole store will come.
00:36:39Mr. Krzywiński,
00:36:41I'll ask you for a moment.
00:36:47Mr. Boss didn't call?
00:36:49Please pack these two bottles
00:36:51of Rotschild from 1928 nicely.
00:36:53One benedictine and one rum.
00:36:55And you have to send it.
00:36:57To the theater?
00:36:59And since when do you sing so,
00:37:01Mr. Krzywiński?
00:37:03Can't you say theater without coloratura?
00:37:05Please forgive me, Mr. Boss.
00:37:07Pack it up and it's supposed to be sent
00:37:09here to my desk and to my account.
00:37:11Yes, Mr. Boss.
00:37:14Why are you making a secret out of it?
00:37:16After all, the whole staff knows about it.
00:37:18Maybe they're heartless
00:37:20that they're laughing at it,
00:37:22but they know and they're silent.
00:37:24Sooner or later they'll laugh at it.
00:37:30Maciek!
00:37:37Mr. Boss wishes?
00:37:39What did you just eat?
00:37:41Nothing, Mr. Boss.
00:37:43I'm asking for the second and last time.
00:37:45What did you just eat?
00:37:47Rotschild.
00:37:49Whose Rotschild?
00:37:51Did you buy it for yourself?
00:37:53No.
00:37:55So you ate my Rotschild.
00:37:57That's enough.
00:37:59You're free from tomorrow.
00:38:01Mr. Boss, I won't pay for it.
00:38:03March!
00:38:05I've had enough of you.
00:38:07Mr. Heliczek!
00:38:09Please tell Wacka
00:38:12Hello, theatre?
00:38:14I'd like to speak
00:38:16with Mr. Klokowski.
00:38:18Mr. Klokowski,
00:38:20my respects,
00:38:22this is Brandt.
00:38:24Yes, I'd like to settle
00:38:26this matter.
00:38:28Yes, I'm buying the whole theatre.
00:38:30No, no, no,
00:38:32all the seats.
00:38:34I'm buying all the seats.
00:38:36No, no, no,
00:38:38all the seats.
00:38:41All the seats.
00:38:45No, 1,200 is too much.
00:38:47It's excluded.
00:38:49I said 1,000.
00:38:51You can send me
00:38:53the whole package of tickets.
00:38:55All right, 1,100.
00:38:57We have to finish, Mr. Klokowski.
00:38:59Goodbye.
00:39:05Excuse me, Mr. Boss.
00:39:07Krawiec is here.
00:39:10Come in.
00:39:12Please, Mr. Heliczek,
00:39:14don't pay any attention
00:39:16to the presence of Krawiec.
00:39:18We can have some decent clothes.
00:39:20I can't wear them anymore.
00:39:22It's a shame.
00:39:24Finally!
00:39:26I thought you'd never sew again.
00:39:28I'm sorry, Mr. Boss,
00:39:30but everything had to be done
00:39:32as you wished.
00:39:34Was it done?
00:39:36During yesterday's fitting,
00:39:39you had so much to complain about.
00:39:41Only a great artist can...
00:39:43If I could measure it right away,
00:39:45what?
00:39:47Here?
00:39:49You can do it here and there.
00:39:51Let's go to the warehouse.
00:39:53I'll turn on the light.
00:39:55You can ask the customers for a moment.
00:39:59Mr. Heliczek.
00:40:01Yes?
00:40:03To the fitting?
00:40:05Yes.
00:40:07Mr. Boss,
00:40:09it's high time.
00:40:11And on top of that,
00:40:13Krawiec is the best,
00:40:15the most expensive.
00:40:17That's what he needs.
00:40:19He must have decent clothes.
00:40:21I persuaded him to do it myself.
00:40:23Mr. Heliczek,
00:40:25you persuaded him.
00:40:27If it weren't for that old hag
00:40:29he's after now,
00:40:31what do you think,
00:40:33Mr. Heliczek,
00:40:36I'll break your teeth
00:40:38with such a boss.
00:40:48Well?
00:40:50Mr. Boss,
00:40:52really extraordinary.
00:40:54What are you doing here?
00:40:56Turn off the light in the warehouse.
00:40:58I would like to thank you
00:41:00one hundred times, sir.
00:41:02No, it's not necessary.
00:41:05My respects, Mr. Boss.
00:41:07Please send the bill to Mr. Heliczek.
00:41:09As you wish, Mr. Boss.
00:41:11Goodbye.
00:41:13What were you looking for?
00:41:15I brought the packages.
00:41:19Mr. Krzypiński,
00:41:21may I talk to you for a moment?
00:41:25What do you think?
00:41:27Which one will be the best?
00:41:29This one, of course.
00:41:31I thought the same.
00:41:34My respects, Mr. Boss.
00:41:46Yes,
00:41:48one feels different immediately.
00:41:58You are here?
00:42:00Oh, Martusiu,
00:42:02look at this.
00:42:04We were shopping.
00:42:06I wanted to surprise you.
00:42:08I wanted to see your wonderful company.
00:42:10And you made such a surprise for us.
00:42:12Martusiu, do you recognize it?
00:42:14I can't recognize it.
00:42:16This is Mr. Director Brand
00:42:18in a new, improved edition.
00:42:20I can't recognize it.
00:42:22Like a prince.
00:42:24I'm so happy.
00:42:26Please, sit down.
00:42:31What is this here?
00:42:33Doesn't it fit?
00:42:35Like a fist to the nose.
00:42:37A tie is the most difficult thing.
00:42:39I bought you a tie by accident.
00:42:41It will fit you.
00:42:43Please take it off.
00:42:45I'm sorry.
00:42:53Did you read the book?
00:42:55Yes.
00:42:57Did you like it?
00:43:00It doesn't matter.
00:43:02Yes, this one fits.
00:43:04How do you know?
00:43:06It feels so good around the neck.
00:43:08No, no, no.
00:43:10Please, don't tighten it.
00:43:12It should be a little loose.
00:43:14That's what the whole neck is about.
00:43:16Now let's see the whole thing.
00:43:18Let it go a little.
00:43:20Oh, I'm sorry.
00:43:22I haven't introduced you yet.
00:43:24This is Mr. Chyliczek.
00:43:26Nice to meet you.
00:43:29He's our co-worker.
00:43:31He's been working for us for 40 years.
00:43:33Oh!
00:43:35So now all the children
00:43:37will see Mr. Brandt's wonderful suit.
00:43:39Please, take a seat.
00:43:41Yes, please.
00:43:43Yes.
00:43:45The collar fits perfectly.
00:43:47And how do you like it now?
00:43:49Do you like your coat?
00:43:51It's too short.
00:43:53What?
00:43:55It's too short.
00:43:58Too short?
00:44:00Mr. Chyliczek, calm down.
00:44:02Wait a minute.
00:44:04Let him turn around.
00:44:06Too short?
00:44:08No, it's not too short.
00:44:10Mr. Hugo!
00:44:12Wait a minute.
00:44:14I wonder what you would buy him?
00:44:16A jacket.
00:44:18A jacket.
00:44:20And what do you think, Mrs. Helen?
00:44:22He's lovely.
00:44:24He's so lovely.
00:44:26He's always so lovely.
00:44:32Here are the books.
00:44:40He's a nice boy.
00:44:42He's so handsome.
00:44:44Yes, he's handsome and handsome.
00:44:46What's this? Tickets to the theatre?
00:44:48A bed, a bed, a floor?
00:44:50Tickets to the theatre.
00:44:52Oh, it's for me.
00:44:55What are you going to do with so many tickets?
00:44:57I've bought the whole play.
00:44:59What have you done?
00:45:01What have you done?
00:45:03I've bought the whole theatre for your last performance.
00:45:05You've bought the whole theatre?
00:45:07Yes.
00:45:09You've bought the whole theatre?
00:45:11Yes.
00:45:13I see.
00:45:15Just like then, with Ladiska.
00:45:17Martusiu, be so kind.
00:45:19We were supposed to buy donuts.
00:45:21I'll wait for you here.
00:45:24Have a seat.
00:45:26Have you gone mad?
00:45:28Maybe, I don't know.
00:45:30Do you know what you've done?
00:45:32Please, you have to kiss her on the hand, but please go on.
00:45:34But you have to lock her up in the madhouse.
00:45:36Or in the clinic where they treat seizures.
00:45:38Have you seen anything like that?
00:45:40If it wasn't for the barking, I'd hear it.
00:45:42What have I done so terrible?
00:45:44You've made me laugh.
00:45:46And yourself?
00:45:48No, first of all, me.
00:45:50Yes, first of all, yourself.
00:45:53Mr. Klokowski will be happy that he has found such a naive man.
00:45:55Mr. Klokowski will be happy that he has found such a naive man.
00:45:57Mr. Klokowski is innocent.
00:45:59I proposed it to him myself.
00:46:01In that case, I'll send you all the tickets right away.
00:46:03In that case, I'll send you all the tickets right away.
00:46:05No.
00:46:07What do you mean, no?
00:46:09I never withdraw a given word.
00:46:11So now you will withdraw it.
00:46:13No, it's a transaction.
00:46:15Did you sign it?
00:46:17Of course.
00:46:19No!
00:46:21It is already accepted in our company.
00:46:23It is already accepted in our company.
00:46:25Did you think for a moment,
00:46:27did you believe that I would play,
00:46:29that I would go for something like that?
00:46:31You will be sitting in bed and I will be playing, right?
00:46:33Your company does not allow the possibility of withdrawing.
00:46:35Your company does not allow the possibility of withdrawing.
00:46:37Or maybe you think it will be advertising for the company.
00:46:39Please, it will be a compromise.
00:46:41You can't do anything anymore.
00:46:43No, no, no.
00:46:45I have an idea.
00:46:47Mr. Chyliczek,
00:46:50you can immediately put up posters in the city,
00:46:52and at the same time give an announcement to all newspapers
00:46:54that the Brandt & Sons company has just purchased a presentation
00:46:56as an advertisement for your permanent clientele.
00:46:58Can you do it?
00:47:00Yes? Can you do it?
00:47:02You are a divine woman.
00:47:04Please write.
00:47:06I will dictate in a moment.
00:47:08The management of the Brandt & Sons company
00:47:10has decided to provide the widest range of our clientele.
00:47:12No, it sounds poor.
00:47:14The widest range of our clientele.
00:47:16Our respected clientele.
00:47:19Of course, our respected clientele.
00:47:21The most outstanding artist,
00:47:23that's how it's spelled,
00:47:25the most outstanding artist,
00:47:27Mrs. Helena Otocki,
00:47:29in her unforgettable role in the play...
00:47:31Maybe in an excellent play.
00:47:33No, it's not enough.
00:47:35The company has purchased all the tickets
00:47:37for the last performance of the star of Warsaw.
00:47:39What day will it be?
00:47:41Sunday.
00:47:43And what day will it be?
00:47:45The 23rd of the current month.
00:47:48It will be possible,
00:47:50even with the smallest purchase,
00:47:52to purchase tickets
00:47:54for the advertising price of one zloty,
00:47:56regardless of the place,
00:47:58with respect to the Brandt & Sons company.
00:48:00Akademicka 18.
00:48:02Yes, yes.
00:48:04We would also like to recommend our coffee,
00:48:06Herbie!
00:48:08Mr. Chyliczek,
00:48:10and now as soon as possible,
00:48:12as soon as possible with all this,
00:48:14to the editorial office,
00:48:17I'm in a hurry,
00:48:19I'll tell you,
00:48:21you pulled us out of the deep mud
00:48:23behind our ears.
00:48:25My respect.
00:48:27Mr. Chyliczek,
00:48:29this hat of yours
00:48:31is unacceptable.
00:48:33You should buy a black one,
00:48:35with a small round.
00:48:37It will be as you wish,
00:48:39my respect.
00:48:43Are you angry with me?
00:48:45No.
00:48:47You were so angry.
00:48:49I was moved.
00:48:51That's how you shouted at me.
00:48:53I always shout when I'm moved.
00:48:55I'm already so badly raised.
00:48:57Fortunately, everything is fine.
00:48:59No.
00:49:01You were unfair to me.
00:49:03I was unfair to you?
00:49:05Yes, maybe unconsciously,
00:49:07but still unfair.
00:49:09The fact that I bought the whole show
00:49:11was perhaps unreasonable.
00:49:14For you.
00:49:16Well, not for you,
00:49:18but because of you.
00:49:20Because I met you,
00:49:22I wanted something completely crazy to happen.
00:49:24I, who have been sitting at this desk for 20 years,
00:49:26who for the first time in my life
00:49:28I wear decent clothes,
00:49:30I, who have no idea
00:49:32what the Mediterranean Sea looks like,
00:49:34I know one thing,
00:49:36that if I succeeded with this theater,
00:49:38if it came out,
00:49:40if it succeeded,
00:49:43I wouldn't be here.
00:49:45You shouldn't say that.
00:49:47You are now talking with hatred
00:49:49about everything you said
00:49:51in the train with love and pride.
00:49:53You have no sense of humor.
00:49:55No, I have no sense of humor.
00:49:57Do you know that when I think
00:49:59or I have to talk about myself,
00:50:01I feel like I'm opening the door
00:50:03to a completely strange shop
00:50:05in which I see unknown goods.
00:50:07I've never talked about myself.
00:50:09Never.
00:50:12And this work, this solidity,
00:50:14this saving, this reliability...
00:50:16I don't know.
00:50:18Something in me has turned, I don't know.
00:50:20I was 18 when my father died
00:50:22and the war broke out.
00:50:24I was left alone with Chilick
00:50:26and a few dishonest employees.
00:50:28So I had to work like crazy,
00:50:30with all my strength,
00:50:32because I wanted the interest to develop,
00:50:34so that these 100 years wouldn't end for me.
00:50:37I didn't know I was able
00:50:39to say so much in one go,
00:50:41and you did.
00:50:43You said I was talking
00:50:45with hatred about everything.
00:50:47I didn't realize it,
00:50:49but yes, you're right.
00:50:51It's hatred.
00:50:53And I'm starting to like it more and more.
00:50:55What do you like about it?
00:50:57The fact that...
00:50:59I don't know...
00:51:01I don't know...
00:51:03I don't know...
00:51:05The fact that it's so different here
00:51:07than in Poland.
00:51:09Everything you do is so simple,
00:51:11obvious, and at the same time so necessary.
00:51:13That it all happens without lies.
00:51:15Everything is weighed, measured.
00:51:17You can't cheat yourself,
00:51:19because you know for sure
00:51:21that this coffee is good,
00:51:23and that one is bad.
00:51:25I like it so much
00:51:27that at 7 o'clock
00:51:29you close the booth
00:51:31and the work is over.
00:51:34Not a moment of break,
00:51:36not a moment.
00:51:38What if the rehearsal is over?
00:51:40It never ends here.
00:51:42Do you know
00:51:44that I've never played a role
00:51:46the same way?
00:51:48And I've never played
00:51:50as well as I could.
00:51:52I like that
00:51:54you couldn't send
00:51:56those ticket books
00:51:58just because you could.
00:52:00It wouldn't make any sense
00:52:03because for us
00:52:05the most important thing
00:52:07is the mood of the moment.
00:52:11And I like so much
00:52:13that it's been going on
00:52:15for 119 years.
00:52:17Yes, and in the train
00:52:19you said
00:52:21that it's 119 Kamienie MÅ‚ynskie.
00:52:23Did I say that?
00:52:25Yes.
00:52:27Maybe...
00:52:29No, I didn't have the right
00:52:32to say that.
00:52:34For the first time
00:52:36I think differently
00:52:38than before.
00:52:40For the first time
00:52:42I think
00:52:44about another person.
00:52:46Until now
00:52:48I've been thinking
00:52:50only about myself.
00:52:54A shop
00:52:56of colonial goods.
00:52:58For the first time
00:53:00I've seen something like this.
00:53:04You see,
00:53:06your companies,
00:53:08houses, families
00:53:10are like trees.
00:53:12One leaf falls
00:53:14and another grows.
00:53:16You start as great-grandparents
00:53:18and end as great-grandchildren.
00:53:20And here it starts with us
00:53:22and ends with us.
00:53:24Or even earlier,
00:53:27I think
00:53:29I'd like to be
00:53:31one of you.
00:53:33Could I ask you
00:53:35something,
00:53:37but you have to tell me the truth.
00:53:39Please.
00:53:43If I didn't have
00:53:45any property,
00:53:47if you didn't know
00:53:49that I'm rich,
00:53:51could you be my friend?
00:53:53If I knew you
00:53:56as well as I do now,
00:53:58for sure.
00:54:00But if you had 10 times more
00:54:02and you were different
00:54:04than you are now,
00:54:06I wouldn't be here.
00:54:08Really?
00:54:10Money is a great thing.
00:54:12It has a charm
00:54:14like a woman's beauty.
00:54:16But in charm
00:54:18no one has fallen in love yet.
00:54:20Charm only makes
00:54:22you want to meet someone.
00:54:25You're right, Mrs. Helen.
00:54:29Could I ask you
00:54:31for...
00:54:33For what?
00:54:35Someone's knocking.
00:54:37Please.
00:54:39I've got it.
00:54:41But I thought
00:54:43you wouldn't be here anymore.
00:54:45I'm waiting for you, Marta.
00:54:47We should thank Mr. Brand
00:54:49for the wonderful things
00:54:51he sent us.
00:54:54I'm sorry,
00:54:56but I have to go to the theatre.
00:54:58I have to inform you
00:55:00that Prima Donna
00:55:02won't come to the show today.
00:55:04Why?
00:55:06Because it's 7 o'clock
00:55:08and you're sitting here.
00:55:10Oh, my God!
00:55:12See you later.
00:55:14Goodbye.
00:55:16Thank you very much.
00:55:20Will you come to the theatre?
00:55:22Of course.
00:55:24See you later.
00:55:44Can I come in, sir?
00:55:46What do you want?
00:55:48I'd like to thank you
00:55:51for letting me go.
00:55:53Please forgive me.
00:55:55It doesn't matter
00:55:57if it's money or birthday.
00:55:59I'll never do it again.
00:56:01How old are you?
00:56:0321.
00:56:05Where did you learn to play?
00:56:07At the tennis court.
00:56:09When do you play?
00:56:11Sometimes in the morning.
00:56:13Or I go swimming.
00:56:15Water, fresh air, sun...
00:56:17Tell me,
00:56:20can you learn to play
00:56:22when you're a bit older?
00:56:24You can always learn, sir.
00:56:26One man played with us.
00:56:28His name is Kalinowski.
00:56:30He's 35.
00:56:32Yes, 35.
00:56:34But when you're a bit older,
00:56:36it's probably too late, isn't it?
00:56:38It's never too late, sir.
00:56:40I think you're lucky
00:56:42with women.
00:56:44Do you have a fiancée?
00:56:46No, sir.
00:56:49We, sportsmen, are not allowed.
00:56:51Sportsmen are not allowed?
00:56:53Not at all?
00:56:55What, you can't get married?
00:56:57You can,
00:56:59but only when you do sports
00:57:01for health or pleasure.
00:57:03Then you can.
00:57:05Is it true
00:57:07that when you do sports,
00:57:09the sugar spikes so much?
00:57:11Yes, sir.
00:57:13Then take the head of the sugar
00:57:15for yourself from me
00:57:17Good-bye.
00:57:30Everything's done.
00:57:32Advertisement in the newspaper,
00:57:34posters, it's going to be a sensation.
00:57:36What's this,
00:57:38a new hat?
00:57:40Well,
00:57:42sort of.
00:57:44Has Mrs. Otocka been out for a long time?
00:57:47What's it to you?
00:57:49When again
00:57:51the white dogs
00:57:53will bloom
00:57:55from the purple dew
00:57:57of the white mist
00:57:59Mr. Helicek.
00:58:01Yes, what is it?
00:58:03Are you singing?
00:58:05Me?
00:58:07As long as I'm alive,
00:58:09I've never heard such an old, disgusting scoundrel
00:58:11sing so shamefully and falsely.
00:58:13Should I be careful
00:58:16Yes,
00:58:18and now I'll tell you something
00:58:20and you'll be in trouble
00:58:22if you disobey me
00:58:24because then I'll pay you a pension
00:58:26for three months, for six months,
00:58:28for a year, for the rest of your life,
00:58:30but we'll part ways.
00:58:32Do you understand?
00:58:34Who is the boss here,
00:58:36me or you?
00:58:38Who is the boss here,
00:58:40you or me?
00:58:42And now,
00:58:45because I love her.
00:58:51May God give you
00:58:53happiness, boss.
00:58:59Lord Augustus,
00:59:01if you please,
00:59:03give me the fur.
00:59:07Lord Augustus,
00:59:09if you please,
00:59:11give me the fur.
00:59:14Give me the fur.
00:59:18Come in!
00:59:22Good evening, madam.
00:59:24Flowers.
00:59:26I thought there wouldn't be any today.
00:59:28They're the prettiest today.
00:59:30Oh, my God,
00:59:32what a wonderful basket.
00:59:34Where should I put it?
00:59:36There, please.
00:59:38Thank you very much.
00:59:40Please don't be angry,
00:59:42but you told me to find out
00:59:44if Mrs. Otocka is playing for the last time today.
00:59:46Today is the last time.
00:59:48My lady said
00:59:50that there are no such artists
00:59:52as Mrs. Otocka anymore.
00:59:54I'm sure there aren't.
00:59:56When was your lady in the theatre?
00:59:58She wasn't there at all, madam.
01:00:00But that's because
01:00:02flowers weren't sent every day.
01:00:04Nothing will be sent from tomorrow on.
01:00:06Goodbye, gentlemen.
01:00:08I don't have time.
01:00:11Who sent it?
01:00:13A visitor.
01:00:15Goodbye, then.
01:00:17The humble servant of the gracious lady.
01:00:23I don't have the strength.
01:00:25I don't have the strength.
01:00:27I don't have the strength.
01:00:29Oh, God.
01:00:33I know, it's a very tiring act.
01:00:35Three squares,
01:00:37three squares.
01:00:40Enough, enough, enough.
01:00:44Mrs. Helen, Mrs. Helen.
01:00:46We have some time now.
01:00:48We'll have a rest now.
01:00:50And besides,
01:00:52thank God, it's the last time.
01:00:54How much was the curtain?
01:00:56Oh, don't say it.
01:00:58Leave it to me now.
01:01:00I don't have the strength.
01:01:02I can't do it.
01:01:04I'm shaking.
01:01:06I can't do it.
01:01:09I can't do it at all.
01:01:13Give me the mirror.
01:01:17It's not swollen.
01:01:19I know how long I can cry
01:01:21so that it doesn't swell.
01:01:23Have some tea.
01:01:29Enough, enough.
01:01:31Not now.
01:01:33Take off your dress.
01:01:35Don't let me.
01:01:37Enough, enough, my dear.
01:01:39So that my dress doesn't swell.
01:01:41Do you understand
01:01:43what the audience was like today?
01:01:45Okay.
01:01:47But it felt like the tickets cost a lot.
01:01:49Like with discount tickets.
01:01:51Of course, of course.
01:01:53When a man...
01:01:55Oh, attention.
01:01:57When a man pays a full price for a ticket,
01:01:59he has a duty to have a good time.
01:02:01But when he comes for half for free,
01:02:03it's like a critic.
01:02:06What kind of flowers are there?
01:02:08Well...
01:02:10Probably about...
01:02:12What?
01:02:14It will be soon.
01:02:16Here you are.
01:02:21Helena Otocka.
01:02:23Great artist.
01:02:25Thank you for the wise advice.
01:02:29Hugo Brandt.
01:02:33The advice wasn't wise.
01:02:36It was stupid.
01:02:38Without it, it would have been
01:02:40a historical event for the whole of Poland.
01:02:42You're starting again.
01:02:44I'm starting.
01:02:46The end.
01:02:48I thought I would live to see the old days.
01:02:50And here someone sent me some greenery.
01:02:52Who?
01:02:54Wait a minute.
01:02:56Here you are.
01:02:58In honor of your brilliant idea,
01:03:00Jan Nepomuc Enchilich.
01:03:02My dear.
01:03:05Yes.
01:03:07It's very emotional.
01:03:11Just like on stage.
01:03:13You can't do that in life.
01:03:15You don't have the talent for that.
01:03:17Not at all.
01:03:19In this sense,
01:03:21only artists in the old days had the talent.
01:03:23Ladińska?
01:03:25Yes.
01:03:27Ziuta, Ladińska and others.
01:03:29They were artists.
01:03:31They could be with three men at the same time.
01:03:34First class.
01:03:38Come in.
01:03:40Look who it is.
01:03:44Please.
01:03:46Good evening.
01:03:48Why are you so shy?
01:03:52We have a lot of flies here.
01:03:54I think you'll have some tea.
01:03:56I'll bring it right away.
01:03:58No, thank you very much.
01:04:00Did I scare her away?
01:04:02Mrs. Jędrzejewska ran away.
01:04:04Have a seat.
01:04:06Thank you very much.
01:04:08You see?
01:04:10The theatre is full.
01:04:12Yes.
01:04:14Now it's hard to get audience,
01:04:16but today we have a good one.
01:04:18People like you very much.
01:04:20They all congratulated me.
01:04:22You?
01:04:24I mean they congratulated me
01:04:26on my idea with the ad.
01:04:29How did it go in the shop?
01:04:31The turnover increased by 2,500.
01:04:33That's wonderful.
01:04:37What was the fee in the theatre?
01:04:39The fee?
01:04:41As much as there was space.
01:04:43Did you pay a lot?
01:04:45No, nothing.
01:04:47I beg you.
01:04:49I earned it.
01:04:51How?
01:04:5396 zlotys for everything.
01:04:56That's wonderful.
01:04:58That's the hand of a man of interest.
01:05:00He throws money out the window
01:05:02and they come back.
01:05:04It's not my fault.
01:05:06I was ready to pay more.
01:05:08You shouldn't laugh at me.
01:05:10I'm not laughing at you.
01:05:12You're laughing at the whole story.
01:05:14Laugh with me.
01:05:16Yes, of course.
01:05:18But it's all thanks to you.
01:05:20That's why I brought the money.
01:05:22I want to ask you
01:05:25to give me 90 zlotys.
01:05:27For me?
01:05:29No, not for you.
01:05:31I know you won't accept it.
01:05:33I spent almost the same amount
01:05:35on advertising
01:05:37and it turned out
01:05:39that it was crazy.
01:05:41For the company, of course.
01:05:43That's why I want to ask you
01:05:45to use it
01:05:47to help the poor.
01:05:49That's very nice of you.
01:05:51But why me?
01:05:53You took the money
01:05:55so please use it.
01:05:57Here it is.
01:05:59Thank you very much.
01:06:01I should thank you.
01:06:05I also have
01:06:07a bouquet.
01:06:11A bouquet?
01:06:13Yes.
01:06:15I'm sorry,
01:06:17but in our country
01:06:19I feel that I made a terrible mistake.
01:06:22Where should I sign it?
01:06:24No, I'll sign it myself.
01:06:26What will you sign?
01:06:28That you gave me 1,000 zlotys?
01:06:301,690 zlotys.
01:06:32I took it from the market
01:06:34and I have to sign it.
01:06:38Here you are.
01:06:40I confirm the receipt
01:06:42of 1,690 zlotys.
01:06:44I received it
01:06:46from Hugo Brandt
01:06:48from my own recognition.
01:06:51I'm sorry.
01:06:53This will be the best.
01:06:57Let's not talk about it anymore.
01:06:59I'm very nervous today.
01:07:03What made you so nervous?
01:07:05Many things.
01:07:07First of all,
01:07:09I felt like a theatre director
01:07:11in which you played.
01:07:13It was as if we had
01:07:15a common company
01:07:17and the same profession.
01:07:20We experienced fear and tremor.
01:07:22Yes.
01:07:24It was like that all evening.
01:07:26All evening.
01:07:30And secondly?
01:07:32Secondly,
01:07:36I decided
01:07:38to make
01:07:40a decision today.
01:07:42To dare to do something.
01:07:44To do something
01:07:46important.
01:07:49Yes.
01:07:51Something very important.
01:07:55Do you want to go somewhere?
01:07:57Yes.
01:07:59I want to go somewhere
01:08:01and do some smoking.
01:08:03Today many gentlemen
01:08:05were at the Smoking Theater
01:08:07just like at the premiere.
01:08:09And play tennis.
01:08:11I will be very happy.
01:08:13Yes, but it can happen only later.
01:08:15It all depends on
01:08:17whether my courage
01:08:19will be successful.
01:08:27Freshly brewed tea.
01:08:29Thank you very much.
01:08:31I also dream about tea.
01:08:33Mrs. Helena.
01:08:35What do you mean?
01:08:37We have to get ready
01:08:39to go on stage.
01:08:41But it's not over yet.
01:08:43Yes, but I have to change completely.
01:08:46Please sit down.
01:08:48I will look terrible in a moment.
01:08:50Marta,
01:08:52you can go through the dressing room
01:08:54and say goodbye to everyone.
01:08:56I will be here for 5 minutes
01:08:58before you go on stage.
01:09:00And I will come in if you are not ready.
01:09:02And if you take the money
01:09:04for me,
01:09:06give the machinist 50 zlotys.
01:09:08Or 100.
01:09:1250 or 100?
01:09:15Here you are.
01:09:17But it's not the same.
01:09:19A trifle.
01:09:21Artists are so light-minded
01:09:23when it comes to money.
01:09:25Do you think so?
01:09:2750 is not the same as 100.
01:09:29Please forgive me
01:09:31for getting mixed up.
01:09:33But it's about the rule.
01:09:35I know you have trust in Marta,
01:09:37but it can happen that she gives 50
01:09:39and says that...
01:09:41Oh, you've gone too far.
01:09:45Don't you drink tea?
01:09:47No, thank you.
01:09:49Don't you like it?
01:09:51Lipton, the third type.
01:09:53Not good?
01:09:55No, but mine is better.
01:09:57Of course, it's from the buffet.
01:09:59And we should take tea from you.
01:10:01Of course.
01:10:03Artists are maybe light-minded
01:10:05when it comes to money,
01:10:07but when it comes to earnings,
01:10:09when they set their conditions,
01:10:11they are very calculative.
01:10:14There is no measure
01:10:16on how much our work is worth.
01:10:18Unfortunately, talent cannot be measured
01:10:20on meters, liters or kilograms.
01:10:22What about critics and newspapers?
01:10:24Oh, it doesn't mean anything to us
01:10:26for a long time.
01:10:28But you can meet honest people
01:10:30among critics.
01:10:32Of course.
01:10:34But they don't write
01:10:36so that the audience
01:10:38will learn to understand us better,
01:10:40but so that the review
01:10:42will be better.
01:10:44You see, our real complex
01:10:46is the complex of the gauze.
01:10:48Actors, especially us,
01:10:50have to fight all our lives
01:10:52to stay on the highest level
01:10:54of the theatrical ladder.
01:10:56Gauze.
01:10:58It speaks of the height of the ladder,
01:11:00of how high we are.
01:11:02But when we have our money,
01:11:04we don't care about it.
01:11:06I would like to ask you
01:11:08for a very important reason.
01:11:11Are you very attached
01:11:13to your profession?
01:11:15I hate it.
01:11:17What?
01:11:19I hate it.
01:11:21Oh, no, no, no.
01:11:23Don't look at me now.
01:11:25I look terrible now.
01:11:27I like you the most now.
01:11:29I never look like I am in reality.
01:11:31I can't, I can't, I can't.
01:11:33I can't be an ordinary, happy woman
01:11:35that no one notices,
01:11:37that no photographer,
01:11:40that no reporter spies on me.
01:11:42I hate my profession.
01:11:44All this ambition,
01:11:46cunning,
01:11:48aimless work,
01:11:52all the joys it gives me
01:11:56and all the tears
01:11:58it costs me.
01:12:02Mrs. Helena,
01:12:06Mrs. Helena,
01:12:09you are tired.
01:12:11Please run away from here
01:12:13as soon as you can.
01:12:15Where to?
01:12:19Come in.
01:12:21My deepest respect,
01:12:23Mrs. Otocka,
01:12:25my great respect.
01:12:27What do you want?
01:12:29I came to our biggest artist.
01:12:31I am Baski,
01:12:33a co-worker of Popołudniówka.
01:12:35This is a newspaper
01:12:38that is the most popular
01:12:40in the whole country.
01:12:42As a result of your performance
01:12:44in our city,
01:12:46I wanted to ask you
01:12:48for a small interview
01:12:50for our newspaper.
01:12:52How nice of you.
01:12:54Please, have a seat.
01:12:56Thank you very much.
01:12:58I forgot to introduce you.
01:13:00Mr. Brandt, Mr. Barski.
01:13:02I'm sorry, I'll be on stage in a moment.
01:13:04It doesn't matter.
01:13:06I'm an artistic genius.
01:13:08I'm in a laboratory
01:13:10where every element
01:13:12such as make-up, brushes, bottles, costumes
01:13:14is half-empty.
01:13:16A wonderful crystal glass
01:13:18with champagne in it.
01:13:22This is tea, not champagne.
01:13:24Champagne, champagne.
01:13:26It sounds better.
01:13:28Of course.
01:13:30A wonderful crystal glass
01:13:32with which, by the way,
01:13:35you can never get enough of.
01:13:37It's very important
01:13:39and dreamy.
01:13:41Where is this crystal glass?
01:13:43Please, don't bother.
01:13:45It's not here.
01:13:47It will be described in the newspaper tomorrow.
01:13:49It will really exist.
01:13:53All these details
01:13:55contribute to the condensation
01:13:57of a brilliant creative force
01:13:59that in a moment,
01:14:01as soon as it welcomes us,
01:14:04appears on stage.
01:14:06Anyway, that's how I started.
01:14:08Wonderful, wonderful.
01:14:10What a stage!
01:14:14Then there will be a little bit
01:14:16about our newspaper,
01:14:18which you, of course,
01:14:20also read with interest.
01:14:22But now you are in a hurry
01:14:24to go on stage,
01:14:26and I will ask you
01:14:28a few more questions.
01:14:30What do you think
01:14:33about theatre?
01:14:35Of course, you have been associated
01:14:37with theatre since childhood.
01:14:39What is your attitude
01:14:41towards your profession?
01:14:45Oh, my profession, my profession.
01:14:47I couldn't live without it.
01:14:49Of course.
01:14:51And what would you like to be?
01:14:53I said it wrong.
01:14:55Who would you like to be,
01:14:57if you weren't an artist?
01:15:00I would like to be
01:15:02a gardener.
01:15:06A gardener.
01:15:08Very original.
01:15:10Good, very good.
01:15:12The artist's wardrobe
01:15:14bends under the weight.
01:15:16Nonsense.
01:15:18The wardrobe can't bend.
01:15:20The artist's wardrobe
01:15:22is turned into a charming garden
01:15:24full of colorful flowers.
01:15:26Yes.
01:15:28And what about men?
01:15:30Clark Gable.
01:15:32Yes, yes.
01:15:34Did you have any
01:15:36interesting acquaintance
01:15:38during your stay in our city?
01:15:40Oh, unfortunately,
01:15:42I'm not allowed to work.
01:15:44Oh, work, work, work.
01:15:46Could I ask you
01:15:48for a photograph,
01:15:50maybe a larger format,
01:15:52so that it would be decorative?
01:15:54Yes, that would be good.
01:15:57For our newspaper and readers.
01:15:59For your newspaper and readers.
01:16:01Oh, thank you very much.
01:16:03I don't want to waste any more time.
01:16:05Oh, well,
01:16:07the most important thing,
01:16:09when will you
01:16:11come to us again?
01:16:13Oh, I don't know, maybe someday.
01:16:15My artistic adventures
01:16:17will lead me
01:16:19without fail
01:16:21to the near future
01:16:23of this wonderful city.
01:16:26Goodbye, Mrs. Helen.
01:16:28Goodbye.
01:16:30Goodbye.
01:16:37This is certainly
01:16:39of interest, isn't it?
01:16:41Otherwise...
01:16:43You would despise me
01:16:45because I don't
01:16:47throw such a man out the door.
01:16:49At first I tried to say
01:16:51what I think, but it doesn't make sense.
01:16:53After all, they will write
01:16:56that you don't have to do it, Mrs. Helen.
01:16:58Please leave it all.
01:17:00I would find something
01:17:02that would be stronger,
01:17:04something that would be able
01:17:06to pull me out.
01:17:10If, for example,
01:17:12I fell in love.
01:17:17And now you don't love anyone?
01:17:19Excuse me,
01:17:21could you fall in love
01:17:23with no one?
01:17:25With no one?
01:17:28Yes.
01:17:32Sometimes I think
01:17:34that I could.
01:17:36Mrs. Helen.
01:17:40A telegram from Warsaw to you.
01:17:42What happened?
01:17:44I thought you would read it first.
01:17:50Christ!
01:17:52Mrs. Marta?
01:17:55Read it aloud.
01:17:57I propose Lady Macbeth.
01:17:59First rehearsal the day after tomorrow.
01:18:01An urgent visit.
01:18:03Greetings.
01:18:05Lady Macbeth!
01:18:07This is the most beautiful day
01:18:09in my life!
01:18:11Finally!
01:18:13I've been dreaming about this role for years.
01:18:15Run to the post office and give me a telegram.
01:18:17But the costume!
01:18:19I can do it myself.
01:18:21Tomorrow I will be in Warsaw.
01:18:24Yes, yes.
01:18:26And take a taxi.
01:18:28God!
01:18:30What a joy!
01:18:32You have no idea what it means.
01:18:34You've been waiting for this for years.
01:18:36But how to play it now?
01:18:38It's not a vampire, or a demon, or a rapist.
01:18:40No, no, no.
01:18:42You have to play it in a completely different way.
01:18:44It's an innocent, calm,
01:18:46balanced woman.
01:18:48A real lady.
01:18:50But inside, you understand,
01:18:53they didn't want to play it like that.
01:18:55And I wonder who will be the director.
01:18:57Maybe a Hungarian!
01:18:59Congratulations from the bottom of my heart.
01:19:03Thank you very much.
01:19:05Are you happy?
01:19:07I'm sure you're happy.
01:19:09Let me help you.
01:19:11You have to come to Warsaw for the premiere.
01:19:13Or not, not.
01:19:15After a few days,
01:19:17when we'll know that it worked.
01:19:19Why are you so serious?
01:19:22Will you take me to the train station?
01:19:24I'd love to, but I have a lot of work today.
01:19:26You didn't say anything.
01:19:28It's a pity.
01:19:30Jesus, I'm playing.
01:19:32What am I playing?
01:19:34Goodbye, Hugo.
01:19:36Goodbye, Helen.
01:19:38You don't even know what kind of friend you have in me.
01:19:40You're in me.
01:19:42I'm your friend.
01:19:44You're lovely.
01:19:46Don't forget about me too soon.
01:19:48Other people come to the performances,
01:19:50and you'll go to the theatre.
01:19:52Yes, I love the theatre.
01:19:54You'll forget about me for sure.
01:19:56No, I won't.
01:19:58Really?
01:20:00That's good.
01:20:02When you come to Warsaw,
01:20:04we'll always be together.
01:20:06Forgive me.
01:20:08I don't think there's anything to forgive.
01:20:20Good evening.
01:20:22You're here?
01:20:24Yes.
01:20:26Mrs. Otocka is on stage.
01:20:28Elegant, isn't she?
01:20:30She's happy.
01:20:32Why did you come?
01:20:34I wanted to be the first to see you.
01:20:36I'm so happy.
01:20:38I'm so happy.
01:20:40I'm so happy.
01:20:42I'm so happy.
01:20:44I'm so happy.
01:20:46I'm so happy.
01:20:49Can I congratulate you?
01:20:51Mr. Chiliczek, we'll have a lot of work to do.
01:20:53We have to pay as much as they demand.
01:20:55Oh, yes.
01:20:57Bauman called me the day before yesterday.
01:20:59He said they agreed.
01:21:01That's good news.
01:21:03We'll sign the contract tomorrow.
01:21:05We'll entrust the interior to the architect.
01:21:07We can also install neon lighting.
01:21:09No, it'll be too modern.
01:21:11We'll stay with the old sign.
01:21:13We have to be ready for the beginning of the season.
01:21:15We'll stay with the old sign.
01:21:18We'll manage.
01:21:20This news will be a pleasure for me, Mr. Chiliczek.
01:21:22This news will be a pleasure for me, Mr. Chiliczek.
01:21:24One more thing.
01:21:26The local theatre doesn't take tea from us,
01:21:28but from Wierzbowski.
01:21:30They certainly take other things from him, too.
01:21:32We have to send Staszek there tomorrow
01:21:34and offer a bigger discount.
01:21:36But, I know you.
01:21:38But, I know you.
01:21:40What a decent guest we have, Mr. Chiliczek.
01:21:42What a decent guest we have, Mr. Chiliczek.
01:21:44My respect.
01:21:47We're talking about interests.
01:21:49You can't do that.
01:21:51Interests in the theatre.
01:21:53Of course.
01:21:55Goodbye, Mrs. Chiliczek.
01:21:57Goodbye.
01:21:59They ran away.
01:22:01They ran away.
01:22:03They ran away.
01:22:05Did I offend them?
01:22:07Did I offend them?
01:22:09What did I say?
01:22:11That there is a theatre here.
01:22:13That there is a theatre here.
01:22:41That there is a theatre here.
