Dekalog (1989–1990): Season 1, Episode 9 - Dekalog, dziewiec - full transcript

Roman

What do you want to know?

The truth

Are you sure?

Yes, that's why I've come to you

How many women have you had
in your life?

You know, women, girls or
whatever you call them

Eight... nine...
I don't know, maybe fifteen

That's enough

I've been married for ten years now
And frankly...

That's enough, too



Are you sure I don't ever be able to
make love to any woman?

I'm afraid you won't, the findings are
typical, and so are the symptoms

What's your wife like?

She's wonderful

Take a divorce

Romek

I heard your car

Come on

You didn't want to meet you,
did you?

I did

Your suit is dripping wet

Don't you want to know
why I went to Krakow?

Why, you have friends there

Just one



Why don't you tell me about Zagreb?

I delivered several lectures
I assisted during several operations

On three occasions, I operated myself
I got paid and by the tim

I was leaving, the money I got was only
worth a half of its original value

Are you tired?

No

I say, Hanka darling...

Mhm... Not now, please

Tell me everything

I'm not afraid anymore

I went to Krakow to meet Mikolaj

He's a friend of mine
I told you about him once, didn't I?

That son of a bitch, I remember

Well, he examined me and
had all the analyses made

He was quite frank

I haven't any chances
Today, tomorrow...

Or ever...

I don't believe it

These are facts

Do you love me?

Well, do you or not?

You're afraid to say you do
although you do love me after all

Love is not just panting in bed
for five minutes once a week

It is that, too

It's just biology

True love is situated in one's heart
and not between the legs

What matters to me is what we have
and not what we haven't

You're young and...

I can manage

You'll have to find yourself a lover

That is, if you haven't found one yet

I haven't

Some things are better left unsaid

Oh no

All right, so you've been frank with me
You won't ever be able to make love to me

At least that's what the doctors say
I'm telling you this

I want to be with you anyway

I love you

May I cuddle up to you?

Yes

Tightly, O.K.?

You asleep, Hanka?

No

We've never wanted a baby

No

It would perhaps be easier now
if there was one

Perhaps

Can I help?

If you're so kind...
Just hold the funnel, will you?

May I join, Doctor?

Make a decision

It's not very good for you

But not fatal

The ward head told me he found it rather
difficult to come to terms with you

Really? But it's perfectly simple

You see, Doctor

I have a voice

How's that?

A singing voice

My mother is a hard-working woman
She wants me to be somebody

I wasn't admitted to the school
of music because of my heart

I shouldn't sing, my heart's too weak,
but Mother wants me to become a singer

What's your specialty?

Bach and Mahler
Do you know Mahler?

And... van den Budemayer?

No, I don't know that one

His works are... well, difficult
But I can sing them

Mother wants me to make a career
abroad or at least here

This is what that operation's for

Mother wants the ward head to operate
on me or better still, you

Do you want it, too?

I want to live, that's enough for me
I don't have to sing

Besides, I'm scared

I guess the ward head wanted you to

reassure me to tell me
it isn't dangerous

I'll be able to do everything
afterwards...

Well, go on, tell me

Know what, it's not that simple

Such operations are usually
carried out to save, I mean...

They are the last resort,
when nothing else can be done

Which is not the case with me, right?

Frankly speaking, that's what I mean

Various people have different needs

Mother wants me to have everything

...while I only need this much

Good afternoon
May I speak to Hanka please?

I'm afraid she's out

Oh, I thought she was
Thank you

Want me to give her a message?

No, thanks
I'll try to reach her later

What is it?

Van den Budenmayer
Beautiful, isn't it?

Yes

I once heard it before

I took a call to you

Who was it?

Beautiful, really

I've bought something for you
Care to try it on?

It's for you

Hello, Hanka, at last!

Hanka...

I must see you
You didn't come at four

All right

Hanka darling

All right, I'll be there

Yes, it's better this way

I see

Yes, sure, O.K.

Can you hear me?

Why, hello, Mum

When could you send it to me?

We fly on Thursdays
and Saturdays now

Fine, go to my flat and find that
black shawl and umbrella

All right

Please come in

I've been thinking about you

After we'd talked yesterday,
I bought a record

What record? Van den Budemayer?

In Dutch, it's wonderful

Remember anything?

Your singing's beautiful

A pity you don't want it for a career

That's what Mother says

And rightly, too

What did you dream about
when you were my age?

I wanted to become a doctor,
a surgeon

And what about having home, a family?
Didn't you dream about that?

I never thought about it

Mariusz Zawydzki, Physics

Eleven... Twenty-three...
Forty-five...

Eleven... Twenty-three...
Forty-five...

Oh, I forgot

Mother phoned
She wants her umbrella and shawl

Why don't they sell shawls in shops
where she is?

Don't you know her?
She wants to have her own one

When is the plane due?

At twelve, a few minutes past

I don't operate until the afternoon
I may go to the airport,

I'm free for an hour

You're a dear

Oh, give me the key

The umbrella is on the coat-stand
A black folding one

The shawls's black, too, it's in
the chest of drawers in the bedroom

I'll find it

It's me

Do me a favour, will you?
Never call me on the phone at home

unless you have to

Anything wrong?

No, phone me at the office,
it's better that way

Ten to six, right?

And ten to eight
on Thursdays and Tuesdays

As you wish, Madam
Have you been to your mother's flat?

I send a postcard to you saying
I love you and will keep our date today

A postcard?

Yes, a silly one, with the Pope
on the reverse side

When did you mail it?

After our last meeting, as usual
Haven't you got it?

No, bye

May I speak to Mr. Mariusz, please?
It's the right number, isn't it?

Mariusz! For you again!

Hallo

It's me, so you're there?

Yes

I tried to reach you but the number
was engaged all the time...

I've just come in
You must have got the number wrong

Hurry up, Roman, don't rummage the flat
Mother doesn't like it

Hope I can still make it,
they haven't taken off yet,

I'm free at six

You can have the car

Oh, but what about you?

I've got time enough

That's great
I'll come to fetch you

I'll be free at nine
Is it comfortable?

Yes

No mail in Mother's flat?

Ah, I didn't check, you should have
told me to when you phoned

I didn't think about it

Well, be seeing you

Roman

The registration card?

It's in the glove compartment

See you in the evening

I can't sleep

You were good at physics,

...weren't you?

Tell me how that law goes

The loss of weight of
a floating body

...is equal to

How does it go?

The apparent loss of weight

...is equal to the weight of water
that body has dislodged

Something like that

I think...

You've had a bad day

Was it an operation?

Yes

Someone died, right?

Yes... don't

Who was it?

Don't touch me

Sorry

It's me

Why, hello, Hanka darling...

I must see you

This is what I've been
telling you all week long,

but the last two days you refused

Now I want it

I miss you

All right,
is Thursday all right with you?

Any time will be fine

At six on Thursday, then

Is anything wrong, darling?

At six

Are you there...

Roman?

Yes

No, don't take it off
I have very little time

I've missed you so much

No... don't

O.K. Not now

And never again
This is the last time we meet

That's what I wanted to tell you

But Hanka...

Go away now

All right, we don't have to go to bed
But don't make me go, please

It's not that, but go now

I love you

We never talked about it

And we're not going to

Did he find out about us?

We're not going to discuss him, either

He hasn't found out and
he won't ever find out

Button you jacket up and go

You're looking swell

Well, go away now

Come out

Come out, will you?

Come out!

Why have you done it?

Tell me, why?

You wanted to see me having
fun with him in bed?

You should have come last week,
you'd have seen everything

I was here last week, too

How's that?

I was sitting
on the steps and listening

Open the door

Perhaps you'd like me
to marry you...

You know, you could
get a divorce and

Roman

Please take me in your arms

Take me tightly

I can't

Please

Oh please do

You're not going to walk out on me

...just because I went to bed with...

I didn't know... I know you well
enough but I never thought...

I didn't know how much
I'd hurt you

I have no right to be jealous
I can't demand it from you

Of course you have the right

You were right about that
other thing, too

Nothing should be left unsaid

I'll never lie to you again
I don't want to hide behind a wardrobe

I had an extra key made

You won't ever have to

We should have a child, adopt one
You were right

We need a rest from each other

Yes

All right, take a holiday

And I'll talk to some lawyer in the
meantime about that adoption

No, I want you to go away

I won't have that physicist...

Good

Not too short?

They're my wife's

Could you tell me...

How much is a ticket to Melbourne?

Go away

I just wanted to ask how much
is a ticket to Melbourne

Janusz

This gentleman will tell you all

you want to know,
Melbourne is his department

What can I do for you?

It takes longer if you want a boy,
and much shorter with a girl

The lawyer was very nice
It would be fully confidential

All right, but how long does it take?

Well, several months with a girl
Everybody wants a boy

You'd just have to provide
a certificate of sterility

I might get it from Mikolaj

Tell me, Roman
Is it what you really want?

Yes

Want me to phone you every day
from Zakopane?

No, don't do it

But you do trust me, don't you?

How are you?

I hate you

Why, you agreed, didn't you?

Yes... But I didn't want it

Has anything happened?
What's wrong?

Nothing yet, but I know I'm a
different person now

What do you mean?

I want to sing
And to have a large audience

Hallo?

Good evening

I couldn't get a connection at an
earlier hour... Mariusz, please?

He's away
Who's speaking, please?

A friend from the university

My son went away to Zakopane to ski

I forgot

Hold this a minute, I forgot

Is this the hospital?

Yes, may I help you?

Zakopane, is my husband there?

No, Doctor Nycz isn't here today
