how are things, capitan?



Everything is OK?
-Can i go for a swim?

No way!
-Why?

Well, just try to sing a scale...

There you are...

You shouldn't have eaten so much ice creams

voice cords are very sensitive for temperature changes of liquid, especially ice creams

You can go for a swim when you recover

Where did you get it from?
-I swapped it with Paul for a Donald Duck

O! really?
Hang on... what sort of Duck Donald?

Paul, did you go for a swim?
-of course i did.

The water is so warm, isn't it?
-It is.

do you have anything lingering on your consciousness?

Who... Me??

I can swear i have not eaten ice creams with Mark



You've wrecked you solo
-I don't understand

What happened? were you in a bad mood?

Like where? when??
You really don't know?
-No

Yesterday, during the performance you looked tired.

I... Really, i did not know this....

Now you know?
-Yes.

Did you stuffed something up?
-Uhm...

Was he mad, was he?

That's a pity. It would be exiting

Attention! End of games, please!... get ready.

Will drop in? I've made a new telescope with father

No, i got low marks in maths...teacher will be upset again (they use word PROFESSOR for some reason. Term reserved for university levels)..

Marks must be only the highest!

I'm sorry but for such a student there is no room in the choir!

Low marks in choir can only be given by me..!

But since i don't accept such marks.....

??????? ????? ??? ????, ?????? ????? ???? -??
- ????????

And the blue "Volga" is also missing
-Means, your father is also out

calls me a vagabond but he always roams himself!

Did you know that your father attends driving license course?

My father is teaching him

Looks like he is going to buy a car, doesn't it?
-He never mentioned about it...

Mark! come home!
-oops, Mum's waiting for me.

And huckleberry fin is today on TV

Sour cream in the fridge. Fry chips and go to bed if i don't return early enough.

We invite viewers from Warsaw and Poznan to join us to watch selected fragments from the last year song festival

There is no need for big words ...

there is no need for any promises...

You are here so...

There is one important thing:

I only know that you must love me...

And you must love me whether you want it (to) or not...

Perhaps that's strange , funny or naive, but...

That's all i want....

(So the song goes on...)

Hello! Hello!

-Daddy!

- How's school? OK?

-I did not go today
-Why?

We went on excursion!!
-But of course!

Did you tease the teacher?

Yeah, right! As if he lets us....

We fooled around with Mark a bit

?????! Catch!

-And what's new at home?
-No news. Mum hasn't returned just yet

I can see that! But has anything happened?

Has anybody rung?
-there was one "empty" telephone

What do you mean "empty?
-No body talked.

You said you were fooling around with mark?

I've made a new telescope, do you want to see it?
- What kind of telescope?

Just simple... basic..

Does it still amuse you?...

Wait... what i wanted to say.... well....
-We supposed to develop film from the excursion...

That's true..

Who get it first?..you lost!

????!

Yes. ??....I recognized...of course...

Well...indeed!....

I'll be there.

In half an hour

OK.

Mum will be in half an hour?
-No, that's not mum.

Too bad. She would cook something good

Well, i have to go.
-What about dinner? And what about developing film?

Film? what about it?

You can develop it
-By myself?

You know? you are not independent enough!

But if it proves to hard to do it...ask Ted. He will develop it for you

Now?
-Not today. It' already late.

They are all waiting! Even teacher kept asking...

Paul! Paul! You are an annoyance.

Like an old bachelor!

Paul!!

-What should i tell mum?
-Good bye!

How good you're both home! Hold it please....

- What is it? radishes?
-Yes.

Michal! How long have you been home?

Dad has left.
-Left? when?

Just recently...

What do you think you're doing here?
Why all these lights?

Are you upset?

What's that? Did you have a shave?
-Me?

Who left it on?

Dad probably... Was in a hurry after the telephone and forgot to turn it off.

-After what telephone?
-Well.. after he stopped talking to someone.

Should i wash the radishes?
-OK

- What about potatoes?

What about them? fry them?

Yes, fry them, Paul.
-What about you?

No way. thanks... i have a headache

Have any body seen my son?

O! What is going on here?

Mark! i am waiting and waiting and you're here!
You've deserved belting!!

Be quiet! I am a model!
-Yeah, right! model!!!

Model!! Yeah... you're model alright, i know!

-That is a style for them all?
- What& you don't like it? (??!)

-Well, so..so... perhaps even fashionable
- Vilage style... Regional outfit.

- I thought so... but... those laces Mr. ???????
- That is the style!

Next one for measurement

If that is the style then show yourself off

Stop moving

John, sing !

Very good...93...

Well! You are going to be a good soloist

What about me? I want too.
- And me?
-And me!

And where's yr mum? You're pretending to be a grown up, a?

???? ? ???????????? ? ????...
Yes, father is very busy at the moment

Running "in" a new engine, you know...

Is this for me?

what a present.. What a surprise!

Are there all pieces which you sang in USA? All
-All!

Including those which you sang in front of Kennedy?
-Those are also included

So how does it go?

And what it supposed to mean?

So.. that was how you sang for him?
well.. well...And what was his reaction?

Not much.. he liked it... congratulated us

I don't like ice creams
-? ???? ???

It's just a milk, eggs, sugar.. all that mixed up except it is frozen.

But plenty calories in them!
-What calories?

Cold radiates from them.
-You got mixed up with "radiators".

Doesn't matter, i have an idea
-Me too

Do you have money?
-I do

Dad's become generous and so has mum

So how much do you have?
- So which ones should we take?

Those for 3 zloty are most economical
there is less of it in those for 5 zl.

Agreed.
Take two of them for 3 zl.

I'll take from that blond chick

are you crazy? You've bought three of them?

She did not have a change.

That's good. the third one i take for my mum.

Hey, what do you think? would happen if the teacher would see us?

He would start preaching...

The throat is a very delicate instrument...

And voice cords are not made from steal . That's why the temperature of liquids is so important

and ice creams are especially treacherous

You really think that ice creams are treacherous?

Those grown ups always think of something to deny us a pleasure.

If you say that there is something better than ice creams then i give you a punch.

What are you looking at?

Listen, i forgot about the percussion lesson.. I need to go.

Would you (??) be kind enough to have a look?

What did you (??) bring? That's horrible

Perhaps this?
-That's even worse! There is nothing worth looking at

Not even these ?
-Thank you.

We've chosen the best we had.

There wasn't anything else in the store

Please, live it all here and go.
-Yes, madam

O, dear! I completely forgot about you

I would just want to try one more thing...

That is for you and this for you Kristin

Well... yes... That is your color Kristine...

OK, I think that would be good.. Thank you... you can get dressed

.Do you think i could ask her?

I'm not sure... She does not seem to be in a good mood

Looks very tired...

But we always used to take dresses before the show
-Looks like you have a date?

At what time?
-He will be waiting for me after work

-Good looking?
-So, so....

I hope he is not old?
-Around 40 but he looks younger

Married?
- no idea...possible..

No!!!! ?? ??!
-Big deal!

I am very sorry but the latest regulations forbids taking dresses before the show

That's all for today, you can go.

Ivonne! Since you want it so much... take it.

I beg you, calm down

To start with... explain who is the person in question?

Do i have to? Right now?
-??

As if it is not enough that i am running from factory to factory and meetings ...

Before you were just as busy but we managed to be always together

Do you want a divorce? you're welcome! But do not forget that we have a son!

My dear! As far as Paul is concern -I will definitely take him with me!

Don't even think of it! He will stay with me!

Are You fighting again?
They ran out of "Grunvalds" so i bought "Vavel"(???????? ???????)

Dad, you owe me 3 zl.

Did you hear me? you owe me3 zl.

What a hot day today! ...Paul.
Don't you even want to say hello?

O!, you're growing up....but there is milk under your nose..

Were you recording?
-Yes, practicing

So how are things?
- In school? There was no school. We went on an excursion

No, i meant choir..

I think OK, the teacher said that....
-Boys! what would you like to eat?

Lots of meat and salad

And for you Paul?
-Anything

And a lot of coffee. I/ll be up the whole night.

Why is that?

Well, I'd thought that i already know all about the plane engines...
- But you do!

It was true until yesterday

We've received completely new type of engines and i have to learn everything about them

Do you think you 'll manage?

I will not study unless i get a juicy stake and a salad.

Me too! I want a big juicy stake and salad

Should we eat the salad or hide it?

Firstly, we eat it and then hide it.
-OK.

Careful!
-very tasty salad

Give it back, thief!
-We want to eat!!

won't get it! Won't get it!
-Paul! take it back!

I have something for you, boys

It.s a present from a sculpture artist... he wanted to make me happy..
-o, yeah?

How can you do it?
- I don't know... it's simple.

What is it?
-Tomorrow is a concert. We are going to sing in the museum
-In the museum?

-No body ever seen you there..
- But we were there just the other day

Really?

You are mistaken. I have not been there for two years now.

"sleep my little son, sleep"

"have a dream of happiness "

Close your little eyes

I'll seat here, close to you

The planet Earth already sleeps

Little children dream..

That on the planet is a paradise

Given to us

So dream baby(child) , dream ( keep dreaming)

Give it to me.

Ok if you do a Donald duck

Oh! you ......( closest is a "bastard" but i feel it does not suit to this movie!
I suggest ??????? as he often later uses similar in that context.

I was waiting for you and waiting... where were you?

I should belt you

What for?
- What for? for an open button on your belly.

You'd better be quiet or the boys will be laughing (at me)

you are my ......( what ever.... ???????)....
(once you chose a word - stick to it through out)

What would like me to buy?

If you want... I'll buy you a taxi.

We'll buy a real "Poznan" taxi. ...What do you say?

What's wrong with you, Paul?

I am giving you a sign and you are in the clouds...

Are you listening to me?

However, you have performed today as never before

what? Hasn't anybody come to pick you up?

Where is your father?
I really must go...

I am coming! wait!

Hello! That's you , Mark?

Oh, that's ambarrasing... i totally forgot about choir

After all it seems that we know how to read notes

I was already afraid that we have to return back to solfeggio

This time all went excellently

We will repeat it after the short break so you can relax a bit, please

And where were you loitering, looser? ( ??????, ????????, ???????... one of those unpleasant words)
-Overslept

-During the day! That's crazy!

Off we go. Right from the beginning

Stop, stop!
I will repeat for those who have not heard it

We do 2 bars forte and 2 bars piano... Come on!

No, no, no!!! Again the same mistake!

Please, concentrate!!

.And now Mozart.... Paul... (piece called Agnus Dei )

Please, everybody..

Well, this time was not too bad

I hope on Saturday will be even better..

So, we meet atr the concert on Saturday. Thank you.. see you then.

Bye, bye, bye

Where do you think you're going?

Aren't you going to say good bye to the teacher?
-I forgot

Paul! It is for the first time ever that you have been late for the test. What happened?

Oh, nothing, really.
-Do you have some problems?

Simply forgot about the choir.
Forgot? You? Forgot?

Look at my eyes

In case you would like to have a chat, i will be in my room

Perhaps, i can help you....
-No, thank you! Everything is OK

let's go... I want to show you something

Ladies and gentlemen I am happy to introduce to you fantastic, super-Group PA "cockroaches"

Why have you stopped? The fact that you've not invited me is rather hurtful.

I hope in the future, before you try to hide anything from me.... i would want to be invited... deal?

And now.... go home.. dinners are waiting for you

Paint her a mustache and a beard.

What are you up to? My father would fine you for this!

Go to hell with your father!

You'd better watch him. his father is a policeman

That's not true! he is an officer
-So what?

He can arrest you

And my father is a chief engineer in the "plane engine" plant (factory)

And my plays in an orchestra and he has a perfect hearing.

And my works in 100 decibel of noise and is capable to pick up minute murmur of a machine

He has an abs-absolute perfect hearing!
-No body has such hearing!

I actualy I have!!
-It is a lie!

It is not!

I could walk across a street with close eyes!

Through such a traffic?
-Do you want a bet?

If you open the eyes... you're lost!

What are you doing? why do you walk across the street where it is forbidden?

What happen?
He was crossing the street where he is not allowed to

Are you crazy! Go home !

You better take him home
-I'll do that, thanks

Quicker, quicker... little one!

He got 3 in maths and it does not worry him at all

People say that the teacher will not tolerate "satisfactory result" (3 in Russia) and will kick out of the choir

And that ( you choose word as above suggested) tells me that "3s" are also for people.

And would you (??) say about this?
-Perhaps he is correct ( right) ???????? ?? ?????

Everything because of his yapping!

Paul, why are you hiding? Don't be afraid, i will not dob you in

What kind of secrets do you guys have? Can you share them with me?

That's nothing special.... that's simply man's little things

Paul, what this all mess is all about? clean it all up.!

Please, come in
Thank you but i just dropped to pick up the film for developing.

It won't be a minute
-is it true that you will sing Mozart in philharmonic hall?

On Saturday.
Are you nerves?

Quite a bit!

what for? If i had such a voice i would ignore everything around me.

Mister Engineer will not return home soon.,
I have just dropped him for a meeting.

Paul. You have a great father. He is so busy and on top of this he passed an exam for driving license.

He already drives all by himself!

he has so much energy. And the moment he start thinking... straight away there is a new invention.

Impossible person and... he is not aging!

Not to mention about you (???)!

I wish it was true

Will you ( as ??) stay for dinner?
-No, thank you. It is already late. I popped home today only for 5 minutes

My wife become suspicious that i have a girlfriend on the side.

Good bye
-Ok, I have everything, thank you

Thank you Paul!
-Thank you!!

Answer the phone.

????!
??? ??, ????????

When will you come home?
- you will not.....

What was it?

And how did you (??) manage the sound?
-We tried on TV... a bit out of sincro but nothing to worry about.

We hope that by your professional performances and your fine voices you(??) will pass our culture across those nations which will admire you.

-Yes, and we sang for him.... the meeting was set for 5 minutes yet lasted almost 30 minutes

He arrived by a helicopter

????????? wished to express that despite of a bad weather his heart is warm for all of you.

Please, sing a song for him. He is very happy that senator Harvey and
Congressman Ryne organized your visit to the White House.

???? ?????, if only every day was like that ...
-You wish!

Yeah... that was a day...that was a day, wasn't it Mr Engineer?

And where is Mr Engineer?? Paul find your father...

I forgot to ask him at what time i supposed to pick him up

But the job is good, isn't it Ms?
-O! yes... very!

Well, where is your father?
-He has gone somewhere

you said gone? what a restless soul....

Ok, hurry up packing, Mark

You were right by saying that he looks very young
-Who?

Paul! Why are you so sad?
Don't worry! Everything will be alright

See you.
-See you..... let's go Mark

Has he left us?
