-Zenek, You are spoiling us. -A turkeyhen.

For You.

Thank You.

No thank You. I don't want to eat.

To a pretty ladies and to a magnificent ancient polish cuisine!

Doors!

Zenek, I would fire them if I was in your place

I would fire them all. One by one

All of them.

Why to be concerned? Why to bother?

If You dismiss them you'll get rid of your troubles

Yeah. I'm working my guts out.

You have to do it, Zenek. You have people with difficult characters here.

You can engage better ones. You think You won't find better?

I have good workers. There is a lot of them.

There is no shortage of good workers. Engage them, and fire the bad ones

-That sounds like a good option... -What do You mean?

But not You ! Look, he's afraid...

But how to dismiss?

-How? -Simply.

Each one to different place

But why?

Gentleman...

Why?

What?

What why? Don't You understand? Were You born yesterday?

So what should they do, when You took 300 zl from their wages?

What should they do? He took 300 zlotys from each!

So what? You thought they will enjoy it?

So when once all the boys united in one cause You want to fire them?

Separate them?

They have life here. They live here! Here!

So when once they oppose You, You want to fire them?

Want to break them?! But why? Why?

Doors!
