Good morning
Good morning
Is this perhaps yours, sir?
Fell out of somebody's window
No May I
Oh, sorry
want anything from me?
Yes
What is it?
I live in the upper floor
I hope you remember me
Yes.
You ran my dog over
two years ago
My name is Dorota Geller
My husband's a patient of yours
It's possible
I don't remember all the names
You wanted to ask me
about his health?
Yes
I inform the families on Wednesdays
Come to the hospital
But Wednesday's only
the day after tomorrow
Yes.
It's Monday today
I'm sorry I didn't run you over
instead of your dog
Come on in, Barbara
Good morning, Doctor
Barbara
There's something wrong, Barbara
Dorota? Are you there, Dorota?
Why don't you answer the phone?
Then perhaps you're out
This is Abka speaking
I'm going away for a week
with the class
I'll let you know when I'm back
Bye
This is Janek Wierzbicki
I must talk to you
Could I perhaps drop in tonight?
Well, what was it?
Not the cold, you know
He's teething
He cried all night
Only went to sleep at dawn
I spent the night at his bed
She didn't sleep, either
She was worried about
the two of us getting no sleep
Well, father came into the room
in the morning
All dressed, he was, and laughing
he opened his mouth and showed us
a hole where a tooth had been
He extract that tooth himself
Well, I told him the little one
had just out his first tooth
the little one
had just out his first tooth
and he just laughed and said
"True enough"
Yeah, that's how it is, Barbara
I tie my scarf
The kid's sleeping peacefully
I can see the man
through a half-open door
Father holds his grandaughter
on his knees
She's laughing and
trying his tooth on
And then that lady
comes to meet me in the hall
Tall, up-right
her eyes are black-ringed
for lack of sleep
for lack of sleep
She says, "I don't like it
Too many teeth here
Better take care"
Well, I answer, "Go get some sleep
Father's staying home today"
She nods and says, "O.
K.
"
Well, the next episode
coming to you next week
Excuse me, madam
Yes?
A hare fell out somebody's window
The caretaker was asking
Was it perhaps yours?
No
I can see you this afternoon
if it's really urgent
Mrs.
Geller?
Money order
Your husband's sick benefit
May I see your
identification card, please?
I only have a passport
That will do
Here you are
Do you know the time?
It's past ten
Thank you
Good morning
Good morning
Good morning
Which room is Mr.
Geller in?
Geller The one we've operated on?
Yes
Room 12
Twelve, I see
I'd like to see his records
Yes, sir
Just leave it here
Perhaps he'll feel like
eating it later
Has he had anything today?
Not much
May I help you?
I have an appointment
with the ward head
No families received today
But he told me to come
My name's geller
A lady to see you, Doctor
Mrs.
Geller
Is it afternoon already?
Ten past twelve
The doctor will see you
Sit down, please
Can I smoke?
I don't smoke.
But if you have to
The diagnosis
the treatment, the operation
rather belated, all of that
What do you mean?
Things are in a bad way
Will he live?
I don't know
But I've got to know
You've got to know it, too
No.
The only thing I've got to do
is treat your husband as best I can
And I know just one thing
that I don't know
Give me the district clinic, please
Yes, the district clinic
Sall I give you a lift?
No, thank you, I always walk
Your soup's in the fridge
I repotted your cactus
Please don't touch it
I checked ont he ads.
Will tell you
about them when I come on Wednesday
Barbara
Just a moment
I took the other staircase
Smoke if you like
How do you cope with bathing?
I warm potfuls of water
on the stove
Look here, Madam
I really don't know
You see I
We're very happy together
my husband and I
I love him very much
I saw you together several times
You seemed happy
Please try to understand me
We know nothing about causes
very little about effects
and next to nothing
about prognosis
They tell patients the Truth
in America
So they do
They usually prove right
Provided the prognosis
was pessimistic
It's different with
optimistic forecasts
I don't care
I can stand a pessimistic prognosis
Please tell me: Is he going to die?
I have to know.
I want to
do everything I can for him
There's nothing you can do
Just wait
If you let me talk
just a minute longer
I'll tell you about my problem
Go on
You see, I couldn't
get pregnant before
I'm pregnant now, three months gone
The father is another man
not my husband
I know I won't ever have children
again if I have an abortion now
I know it
But if my husband is to live
I can't have that baby
The man I've told you about
is a very close friend
I don't know what to do
Do you understand?
Do you know it's possible
to love two men at one?
It is Do you understand?
He has little chance to get better,
only few per cent
The odds that he's going to live
are, say,
fifteen per cent.
That's what
you can find in scientific books
But I've seen too many people
in my life
who ought to have died,
but lived on
and too many other who died for no
reason.
I can't pass the sentence
You see, one of them
that is, my husband
made me feel safe and comfortable
The other one
Well, it's wrong to want too much
It's conceit
Do you believe in God?
I have a God that's enough
for myself only, I guess
Your private one?
Yes
Then ask your god for absolution
Janek
I phoned
Didn't you listen to the recordings
Yes.
Yes, I did
What's the matter?
We're going away
When?
In a week's time To Delhi
And then we're going on
to the first camp, with the Sherpas
What have you brought with you?
Andrzej's rucksack
Why should somebody else bury it
Isn't it a bit too early
for the funeral?
We'll miss him
up there in the mountains
Take it
Take it away!
Dorota
he's still member of the club
isn't he?
Yes
Then his rucksack
can be kept in the store
Yes
Then let it stay there, damn it!
At least until he dies
I'm sorry
I didn't mean to
I know
My poor girl
No, no.
Not any more
This is 31-23-67.
Please leave a brief message
after the electronic signal
Hallo, Dorota
It's me.
It's afternoon here
I know it's already dark back home
I've just returned from a rehearsal
Lots of friends
but I don't feel good here
I can't wait to see you
I'll phone you again
tomorrow evening
Tomorrow night, to you
I'd like to tell you one more thing
but perhaps the recording
will soon end
Everything's fine
Wonderful
All right, you can get dressed
I must get rid of it, Doctor
Everything goes so well
All right, if you insist
It's the last moment to do it
Have you ever been my patient?
No.
This is my first visit
Let me see
the day after tomorrow, one o'clock
Your name please?
Dorota Geller
Dorota.
A pretty name
It's you, isn't it?
Yes
Good morning
Good afternoon, Madam
When have you arrived?
Yesterday night
He wanted me to
tell you about himself
Please do
Well, he rehearses a lot
Had one concert already
He thought you'd be there
Can't get through to you
Said to tell you
he'd try again tonight
I know
well, that's about all
Have you got the key to his flat?
Yes
He wants you to
take the scores with you
when you're going to join him
They're on the piano
Several sheets in a green cover
All right
Ah, that's your coffee
It's cold already
Excuse me
This is the previous segment
And the one before that
Just look at them
This one's a month old
and this one just two weeks
And this is the latest one
You've always taught us, sir
Forget it.
What do you think?
Answer it, Dorota
You're there, aren't you?
You are! Can you hear me?
Dorata?
Yes
At last! Good morning
or is it good evening?
Good morning, I guess
Good morning, then
I tried to get hold of you
the last few days
I know, I'm sorry.
I was out
Have you got the passport?
Yes.
But it doesn't matter anymore
Why?
How's Andrzej?
Pretty bad
But why doesn't it matter?
What you said about the passport?
I'm going to have an abortion
Tomorrow
I don't get you
I'm having an abortion tomorrow
Do you understand?
Yes.
I do
If you do it and
Andrzig dies, Dorota.
You will never want me again
I know
You'll pay a fortune for this call
Yes.
We won't be together
Do you understand?
Yes
I want to be with you
Remember, I want it very much
You'll have to ask somebody else
to bring you the scores
All right
Dorota, I love you
Just a short story today, Barbara
I went to work, to the hospital
A man came to see me
And said we had to
make a transfer to England
That night.
I phoned hom
Father answered it
and said she was asleep
He had to speak softly
I asked about the kids
They're fine he said
The girl laughed so much
she wetted her ***
I had to change her clothes
And the boy woke up ever so hungry
I fed him
And then I couldn't
hear him anymore
just ga-ga-ga
He must have put the receiver
right up to the kid's mouth
That was at eleven o'clock
Soon after twelve
I obtained a release and went hom
But there wasn't any home
So it was then
Yes.
It was then, Barbara
Where our house used to stand
there was just a hole in the ground
It was on that day
A few minutes past twelve
The boss said
it was only exceptionally
Yes
Andrzej?
Can you hear me, Andrzej?
I I love you so much
Will you please excuse me
gentlemen
We'd like to talk in private
No, please stay.
It won't take long
You didn't want to pass a sentence
in my husband's case
But I don't want you to
have a clean conscience.
I'm having an abortion in an hour
Go out! Didn't I tell you?
Please don't do it
What do you mean?
Don't do it
Why not?
He's going to die
How do you know?
Metastasis proceeds quicker and
is more dangerous than before
He hasn't the ghost of a chance
Can you swear?
I swear
And, Madam
You play with the philharmonic
don't you?
Yes
I'd like to
listen to your performance
May I?
Yes, please
Come on in
I'm sorry.
You've been sleeping
No, just dozing
Please sit down
I'd like to thank you
There's nothing to thank me for
Nothing really
You see, we've only just learned
once again that
it's not the X-ray pictures
that we're treating
I'm coming back from the other side
Yes
You know, the world seemed to me
to be disintegrating
Everything grew uglier
More hideous
As if somebody did it on purpose
So that I wouldn't be sorry
But now
Yes? Now?
I can touch the table
And what's more you know
We're going to have a baby
I'm glad to hear it
Do you know what it means
to have a baby?
Yes.
I do
