Glitter (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - I Want You to Watch - full transcript
It's a beautiful day.
Can I help you?
Uh, I wanted to rent a room.
I just don't know if I can afford it.
I... I can only afford one night,
but I need it for three weeks.
For my mother.
She insists on visiting.
Three weeks? With Mom?
I'm sure you understand.
All right.
Right this way.
THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF CAPITALISM
I said July, but I meant August.
Listen, just tell me... is this a joke?
What is it you really want?
I don't know anymore.
Well, I guess,
I find you attractive, that's all.
Funny. So, what was that all about?
It's nice to watch you in action.
Well, let's do this, then.
Go grab the rest of your stuff,
and just stay the whole summer...
with me.
Let's go.
YOUTH IS THE NATION'S GOOD
GLITTER
Business can't start
without their consent.
Couldn't Karmen arrange that?
I apologize.
- And the yolk?
- On its way.
Eat.
The more they give, the more they expect.
That's normal.
On top of that,
you'd have to be at their disposal.
In bed, you mean?
I don't know if they'll want that.
I really don't want to have sex.
Oh, well, that's the easiest part.
- You're really able to do it.
- Hmm?
Disconnect from your own body.
- Your egg yolk.
- Thank you.
Not long ago you wanted nothing
to do with them.
Is your arrangement
with the Secret Service
that great of a deal?
- You have a child.
- Mm.
So in your opinion, it's better
if his mother's getting paid
to sleep around?
He's still small.
You'll make a lot of money
before he's old enough to even catch on.
And you won't get entangled.
I'm not asking for your advice.
I just want to be put in contact.
That'll be 150.
But only for you.
There's this thing called...
fuzzy impressions.
Most of them are evoked by sounds.
Blouse.
Bra.
Wait.
Close your eyes.
A hundred fifty?
He's been ripping me off.
Anything happened?
What did you expect?
Thank you.
Hot music for a hot day.
Even temperatures at the beach
have escalated
to over 100 degrees in the shade.
Everyone is trying their best
to avoid the sunlight
and wait for the rain to finally fall.
We haven't had a single drop here
in the region for at least three weeks.
I handled the door manager,
so you wear the dress.
And if I don't, will you punish me?
What's wrong with it?
Is it too short?
Try harder.
Because I chose it?
Why don't you tell me why you bought it?
I already know a bit from Helena.
But I still have a few other questions.
You know each other well?
Yeah.
I guess, uh, she knows me well,
but I don't really know her.
She said that you were very honest.
So a translator of French literature.
Is it hard for her to find work?
Uh, my mom?
No. She's not looking for work.
She holds a grudge...
...about everything.
And what is it that you think?
About all of it.
I don't think I could actually
hold a grudge.
Your father died when you were very young?
Yes.
Your mother tell you how he died?
- He had a heart attack.
- No, about what caused it?
In jail.
Well, I mean...
...after he was released,
he was very frail.
How did he end up there?
Well, don't you already know that?
I'm the one asking the questions,
you're the one answering.
A friend... Uh, colleague... turned him in.
An enemy of the system.
I'd ask what that means exactly,
but I'm not really allowed to, am I?
That's true.
And...
do you believe what your mother tells you?
Mm-hmm.
Well, as you should.
Who's the boy's father?
- Just someone random.
- A client?
Is that a problem for you with Helena?
A client?
No.
Please, wait here.
You gonna say anything?
- You look really good.
- Hmm.
Thank you. I feel much better.
You'll see soon.
Heat like this
calls for cold borscht. Do you like it?
- Yes.
- And what other things do you like?
Schnitzel salad.
Cheesecake.
Um, and Jurek.
And I like your sense of humor.
And your dress.
The lady does look very modern.
Marysia's even more modern than I am.
- Mm, that's impossible.
- No, really.
For instance, uh,
she doesn't love her parents.
And she doesn't have any problem with it.
Sometimes it's hard
to believe that they're my parents.
Who finds it hard to believe?
You or them?
Marysia, uh...
doesn't want them at the nuptials.
We will invite you, though.
Um, what year are you?
- In school.
- Um, end of my first.
Hmm.
- And how are your grades?
- Straight A's.
And a career plan...
to work at the Foreign Trade Center.
So, pretty soon, your foreign contracts
might just depend on her.
Hmm. Well then,
we'll have to become fast friends.
- There's no other way.
- Hmm.
But first we should get to know
each other better.
So why don't you tell me
something about you, hmm?
Oh, Jurek didn't tell you?
Only good things.
For instance?
That you have excellent taste.
Your house is the most beautiful
I've been in.
Yes, 'cause, uh, Marysia...
grew up in one room with her parents.
I slept next to the stove.
But thanks to that,
she stayed warm in the winter.
Hmm.
We also really love cheesecake, too.
We want a civil union.
Uh, but you're a Christian, aren't you?
Yes, I am.
Civil Unions allow divorce.
There are no divorces in our family,
though.
We'll pass on the church for now.
Just have to make sure that...
everything fits.
There should be no doubt
whether I fit in your family.
My parents gave me all their savings
for my freshman year,
and I partied...
all year long.
Lots of alcohol.
And lots of sex, too.
And I failed the, uh, Political Economics,
so if I don't pass the retake,
I'll have to, uh...
go back to my parents.
I could...
I don't know...
work the register at a grocery store.
And Jurek...
I've known for three, maybe four days.
Well, I have to tell you that...
Well, actually I wanted to...
sleep with him almost right away.
Not like that never happened before...
...'cause it certainly had.
But there was more to it this time.
For him, too.
We were fucking in the hotel for hours
until we were both exhausted.
And in the morning he left me 50$.
So?
Am I a fit?
Yeah!
Michal. It's like a test, you know?
To see if there's any point
in getting closer.
And? Is there any point?
Come.
Come on.
You want to?
Who are you, sir?
What are you doing?
I was waiting for you to wake up.
You just watch though.
Everything okay?
Pola, listen...
do you feel okay?
I'm fine.
Is this a joke?
- A joke?
- Or some fucking test I go through?
Who are you anyway?
Have you made your decision?
Decision?
Whether you'll cooperate with us.
I will.
- All right. Do you know what that means?
- I don't.
And right now, I don't care.
Anything's better than...
well...
why go on?
I'm sure you already know everything.
That turns me on.
This whole business of...
I don't give a shit how it ends.
Someone will be in touch.
Soon enough.
So what?
I mean, did you like it?
Go.
Is this advice or an assignment?
It'll pay well.
And you'll get a chance
to take a closer look.
- So it is an assignment.
- Your choice, as always.
But if you don't go,
I'll start to think you like him.
Are we playing next week?
Yeah, same time.
You missed a spot over there.
