Dekalog (1989–1990): Season 1, Episode 6 - Dekalog, szesc - full transcript

I received this notification

There's nothing for you

But I've been notified

There's nothing

Check it yourself if you wish

When shall I come again?

When you get another
"notification, perhaps"

Enough of this nonsense!
Who is it?

"I can hear you breathe, you skunk"

I'm sorry

I'm off to empty the dust-bin



The chute's out of order

"I know, I know"

My milk hasn't been delivered

They only deliver every second one

Want to be the milk woman?

I'm too busy

So is the one who used to deliver milk

Yes?

Good morning

What can I do for you?

I heard you were looking for
someone to deliver milk

How old are you?

Nineteen

You still at school?



"No, I'm employed at the post office"
I live in the neighborhood

Do you realize a milkman
get up at five...

in the morning every day?

I get up early anyway

This is the gas-works
emergency service

I have a gas leak to report

Are you sure?

"Yes, You see, I can smell it"
"I can hear it, too"

Where is that leak?

In my gas stove

Have you turned the gas off?

"Your address, please?"

"No. 4, Piratow street"
Flat No.376

Our man will be there soon

Who is it?

The milkmen

You forgot to put the empty bottle out

Yes

Tomek...

Have you got a girl-friend?

No

I suppose nobody's ever told you

"You see, girls pretend to be"
"unceremonious, they kiss boys..."

But actually...

prefer them to be subtle

Should you ever want to
"bring somebody to the flat,"

you're quite free to

I haven't a girl-friend

Tomek!

Tomek!

Good morning?

"I talked to you the last time,"
didn't I?

Yes

I've received another notification

"Well, I don't know"

This is my second visit here

"I know, Madam"
But there's nothing

And the second notification which
seems to be false...

"Quite a mess you have here, eh?"

I'd like to talk to an older person

Pardon?

An older person
The postmaster or somebody

I'll be back

"Yes, Madam?"

This is the first one
It's several days old

And this is the second one
"Two notifications about money orders,"

but there's no money
"And no order, either"

These are notification all right
What's wrong?

But there's no money

I'd like to see the orders

Who's the sender supposed to be?

I don't know
It says twenty-four thousand

Then how do you know the money
was sent to you at all?

"Why, this is the second notification"I got

But the official's told you
"there's nothing, hasn't he?"

That's impossible
I keep getting those...

Mr. Wacek!

"Yes, Madam?"

Take a look at these!

Ordinary notifications

They're from your area
Did you write them out?

"No, it wasn't me"

I always write with a pencil

Don't you hear?
They aren't from our office

I found these in my own post-box!

And there's the stamp of
you office on them

The post office isn't mine
It's national

You must have wrote them out yourself
You'd better inform the police about it

"Yes, you're right"
"May I have the notifications, please?"

"Oh no, you're not getting them"
They're forged

"Just look at her,"
tried to swindle money!

Want anything from me?

I'd like you to know
There wasn't any money

And the notifications?

That was my doing

Why?

I wanted to see you

To see me?
You wanted to see me

"You cried yesterday, didn't you?"

How do you know?

I've been peeping at you...

I've been peeping at you
through the window

Get out!

"Get out of here, but quick!"

I'm counting three

One...

Two...

Are you looking at me now?

Yes

I moved the bed for you
Can you see it?

Have a good time

Hey!

You there!

You bum!

Come here!

Come right down!

You're a coward

"Ah, so it's you, baby, eh?"

Now put your hands up!

And never try that trick again

"At you age, it isn't good for you"

I thought it was you

Want to come in? I'm alone

You're looking swell

"Hardly a fighter, eh?"

"Tell me, why are you peeping at me?"

Because I love

I really do

And what do you want?

I don't know

To kiss me?

No

Or perhaps...

to go to bed?
"I mean, to make love to me?"

No

Then what do you want?

Nothing

Nothing?

Nothing

Could I ask you to a coffee-shop?
Buy you some ice-cream?

Sorry

How long have you been watching me?

One year

Remember what you said that morning?

Repeat it

I love you

There's no love

There is

No

Got any friends?

"Just one, but he's away"
for the present

Where is he?

In Syria
Serving in the Polish UN troops

I'm living at his mother's now
It's across the street from

I can guess that

"He used to peep at you, too"

Did he tell you about it?

"When he was leaving, he gave me his
"binocular and showed me your window

What did he say?

Well...

Out with it

A nice...

Go on

A nice chick... Likes a screw...

I know now

"All right, so you love me and work"
"at the post office, what else?"

I learn foreign language

And how many have you
learned already?

Bulgarian...

"That's nice, but what for?"

We had two Bulgarian kids back
at the orphanage

Then I learned English
"Right now, I'm learning Portuguese"

You're a funny kid

"No, I just have a good memory"

I remember everything
From the very beginning

Do you remember the moment
"you were born, too?"

I sometimes seem to remember it

And your parents?

Do you remember a boy...

A slender one...
Used to visit me last autumn...

"I remember him, he brought you milk
and"bread rolls, and collected some parcels"

"That's him, he went abroad"
and never came back

I liked him

"I liked him too, I guess"

"Well, he went to Austria"
and then to Australia

To Australia?

I used to steal you letters

I didn't know they were from him

I work at the post office

You've encircled me

"Delivering my milk,"
summoning me to the office...

"sending gas-fitters to pester me,
"stealing my letters

"Ah well, it doesn't really matter"

Give me your hand

Now stroke me

Look

Experienced men do it this way

Our bus...
Let's make a deal

"If we manage to catch it, you'll visit me"
"If we fail, you won't, O.K.?"

Then give me your hand

What else do you know about me?

Tell me what you see from your window
when I'm having company

It's called making love
I once watched you do it

I don't anymore

It's got nothing to do with love

Tell me what I do on such occasions?

You take your clothes off...

and theirs...

"you take their clothes off, too"

Then you both lie down on the bed

"Sometimes on the floor, too"

Where else?

In the kitchen...

You close your eyes...

then you raise your arms

Can you imitate it?

Ever had a girl?

No

Do you play with yourself while
looking me do it?

Not anymore... I used to

Know it's a sin?

Yes

"But now, I only..."

think about you

Don't say anything now

"You know I'm naked underneath,"
don't you?

A woman who wants to be with a man...

gets wet inside...

And that's what I am right now

You have gentle hands

Don't be afraid

Finished?

"Well, did you like it?"

"See, this is what love is"

You can go to the bathroom
Wipe it away with a towel

"I'm sorry, please come back"

I'm not home

I'm sorry

Did I wake you up?

No

I'm looking for...

He forgot his coat at my flat

Come on in

You'd better lie down

Is he out?

No

He's in a hospital

What happened?

Nothing serious

"He'll be out in several days,"
a dozen maybe

I'd like to visit him there

"You know, he only just left"
my flat...

I know

I'm afraid...

I...

I harmed him

"No, please don't go in there"
He'll be back

Please tell me what happened

You'll think it's funny

He fell in love with you

This is his field-glass
He used to peep at you through it

"Must have stolen it somewhere,"
I guess

"He had binoculars before that,"
about a year long

"And here's his alarm clock,"

set on half past eight

"You come home about that time,"
don't you?

More or less

"He's fallen on the wrong person,"
hasn't he?

Yes

I take care of him

"You have a son of your own, don't you"

He's away

And he's sure to go away again
as soon as he's back

He's been running away all his life

Never wanted to stay with me

I'm an old woman
I neither need nor want anything

But I'm afraid to be alone
I like to have somebody next to me

Good night

May I perhaps phone you...
ask about his health?

There's no phone in this flat

"Excuse me, Madam"

What is his name?

Tomek

Closed

What are these deletions
supposed to mean?

Please never delete anything

Excuse me

The number of your flat?

I've got nothing for you

Do you know what happened
to that boy?

Used to work at a counter
in your post office

He cut his veins
"Unhappy love, they say..."

Do you know his name?

"Sorry, you'll have to"
ask the postmistress

Hello?
"Is that you, Tomek?"

Say something

I've been looking for you everywhere

I went to several hospitals

I wanted to find you...

to let you know you were right

"Do you hear, Tomek?"

You were right

I don't really know what to say

How to say it

"That you, Magda baby?"

Yes

This is Wojtek speaking
"Good morning, I mean, Good evening"

Was it you who phoned
just a moment ago?

"Yeah, but I couldn't get through"
Damn it

Did you hear what I was saying?

No

Excuse me

Is he back?

Not yet

I don't peep at you anymore
