Hitching at this hour!

You left your lights on

Asshole!

Half a mile back and you'd be dead

If you'd been driving, you'd have...

No, you'd have given the bum a lift

Sorry, darling

Want the front seat or the back?

Why not grab some sleep?

We'll try not to disturb you

Today's Sunday

Trucks don't run on Sundays

Very fancy. Could be an embassy car

Foreigners give lifts. You could've been diplomats

Or a diplomat's chauffeur on an outing

I'm not blind

Polish plates

You don't look like an embassy chauffeur

There are more privately owned cars now

I saw a Mercedes 190 and two Jaguars in Warsaw

We're well over the speed limit

He's an experienced driver

Where are you headed? We're going to the marina

Fine. Pity you aren't going farther

What if I hadn't pulled over?

I'd be dead

You do it for kicks?

Life gets boring

How old are you?

Charged with manslaughter for running over a puppy...

Where to?

Just dump the bag

I'll bring it to you

Club boat?

No, she's ours

Well, I'll be going

Come here a minute

I've a long way to go

I'll tell you something

The bilge is full of water

So bail it out

Give you some advice

Don't do it again. Some people have no reflexes

That's the way I hitch

Except some folks brake sooner...

...and don't give lifts

I meant to scare you

You did

Cast off, will you?

Ever done any sailing?

No. I walk

You've got a treat in store, then

I like walking. I may try sailing someday

We only came for the day

Me too

You left the windshield wipers?

They won't get stolen around here

How long are you going out for?

Just till dawn

Can I meet you then and hitch a ride back?

I thought you wanted to have a go

You need a hand, huh?

We'll manage

You wouldn't have chickened out?

I knew you'd stop in time

You're a bum, but you're okay

I knew you'd call me back

I'm a mind reader

You want to go on with the game

You aren't in my class, kid...

...but come aboard

You need quick reflexes...

...and discipline

When I was training we had a bosun...

What was his name, Krystyna?

He'd say: “Shin up that willow tree."

It was an oak...

...but we called it a willow if he said so

Shit... Sorry, lots of water down there

We'd perch in the willow for an hour or two

The oak, you mean

To us it was a willow

He'd tell us to cuckoo like cuckoos

Did you?

Brains weren't his strong point...

...but he made men out of us

Are we moving?

Spit in the water

We are moving!

You can also dunk your foot

You can, but you don't

This isn't Lourdes

I think I forgot the salt

No. I didn't.

Did you name her after your wife?

I left the cucumbers behind

Is that your wife's name, “Christine”?

Krystyna

You haven't lost the keys?

They're on the table

You like black radishes?

Great! I'd never have thought of it

Nothing like vitamins

Here...

Why do you carry that murderous thing?

A knife comes in handy

Especially in the woods

You don't need one on the water...

...but cutting your way through the woods...

Sailing's easy

It's when you hike that you need a knife

That's how it is in life

You're a real child

You could cut yourself

Did you ever cut yourself?

Take care, you never know

I knew a seaman once, wanted to show off...

His pals were brighter than him...

They could tell jokes, do card tricks...

Anyway, he took a couple of bottles...

...smashed them on the floor, took off his boots, climbed on a table

Bored?

Coil that line

Show me how it's done

I'm at the helm, you can't take over

I can try

You've got to know how

It doesn't look that hard

Make for that buoy

It takes brains, not brawn

Better get back to that line

Who are you ordering around?

If two men are on board, one's the skipper

Or the drill sergeant

Were you in the army?

University

What are you?

A gynecologist?

I write

Like what?

Ever read the “Sporting News'?

Throw me my rucksack, please

I'm off. I'm a hiker, not a coolie

You're soft

There are 120 lakes here. Why go this way?

Give the gentleman his rucksack

We'll go back another way

Without me. I'm no sucker

Take my place

I wasn't talking to you

Why don't you both get in?

12 noon

It's ten past

He doesn't have a watch

Cooking something?

A compass

A big one

No use for hiking

You don't whistle on board

Why not?

It's not done. Seamen get mastheaded for that

Not hikers, though

Shall I cuckoo?

I should kick your ass!

Let's head for shore

If you can reach me

Does he get a gold star?

Andrzej, please!

Okay, I'll take the helm

Where are my boots?

Where you chucked them

Rub some on my back

-Sheep! - Who?

That cloud looks like a sheep

The one on the left does

It's breaking up

Going to be a storm

What's that, a gut feeling?

Time for a swim

We aren't moving

The wind's dropped

What now?

Lunch. That's a gut feeling

No finger bowls?

That gadget your invention?

You don't think it's necessary?

Try it without

You spilled the soup

Sit down

Not eating?

I want to get off

You can paddle ashore

It's in the fo'c'sle

We're having lunch now

Sailing's for grown-ups

You wait for the wind

A waste of time

What would you do?

Walk. You walk for walking's sake

Stop being silly and eat

Steer for the shore

- Was that an order? - It was. Change course

I want to land

There's land all around

This side's nearer

And shallower

So? We'll run aground paddling?

Come on. We'll find a way through

Why did he climb on the table?

Who?

The bosun who smashed the bottles

He was a seaman, not a bosun

He jumped on the broken glass. Blood spurted everywhere

Tough guy

Take your bib off

Jump!

Go get that paddle!

I can't swim. You want me to drown?

Jump. I said!

Give me the crocodile

You'll ruin the deck

I've got a delicate touch

You'd swim if you fell in

You try

I'm only kidding

There's a first-aid kit below. Go dress the burns

Need help?

Let it go!

You were rattled

I didn't know where the wind was

Next time check the telltales

Want to try balancing her?

Show us what you're made of

Lean over the side, you mean?

Yes. It takes guts

We're sailing!

Sure, for sailing's sake

Or walking's sake!

Knife!

I said it was shallow

You had the helm

Let's push her off

The wind's dropped

It's quite deep there. Hand me the oar

Don't look

Pass us some cups

Medicine

To the at sea

Let's blow up the mattresses

See who does it first

Some asshole they've sent to Ankara!

Our best middleweight

I meant the commentator

D'you play bridge? Pity.

- No cards? - No fourth

We could play with a dummy

No dummies on this boat

Here are the real ones

You start

I don't know the game

Come on, get on with it

The loser pays a forfeit

You mustn't move the others, right?

It's quite simple

You moved one

A forfeit

Thank you

Use that delicate touch

That one was safe

My forfeit

What's the price of this forfeit?

What's the price of this forfeit?

A song

Lucky it's your forfeit

Show him what a nice voice you have

Sing that song you were humming

Guest's request You're outvoted, skipper

Suit yourself

No, listen to your fight

I can't

I'm not in the mood

You won't get your forfeit

Say no more, no more...

Don't look that way, let me go...

We're out of words, and moons, and stars...

There's no tenderness in us...

Don't lie anymore, don't beg...

You know there's nothing left...

Though life is empty, you don't need me...

Joy has faded and our love's gone sour...

I've forgotten the rest

Stupid song

I wonder who KO'd Molik?

What's the price of this forfeit?

A poem

How did he get KO'd?

Night. The oil in my lamp is low...

Mosquitoes mine

That handful of stars above,

Mother, are they you?

Are you the white sail an the lake,

Or the waves that lap the shore?

Have you strewn my pages with stardust?

Excellent memory

You can turn on the radio

That's how it's done

I knew a guy who could beat me...

...a genius at the game

Name of Mayzner. Had a big boat, 12 meters

He was good. A qualified skipper

Forged his papers, got caught

Still, he was okay

He'd say:

“Jackstraws isn't just a game...

It's a living organism"

What?

I didn't say anything

He's fast asleep

Must be tired

He probably slept rough last night

Why did you bring him along?

He may be faking

What time shall I set it for?

5 A.M.

I've got a meeting at 9

I heard you go on deck

You weren't asleep?

I'm a light sleeper

I couldn't sleep either

It's stuffy

The rain didn't help any

When do we get going?

We cut the halyard. Got to mend it

The bilge needs emptying

Get some sleep

Shall I bail out?

Early birds, huh? 5 A.M., we said

We're fixing the halyard

I didn't sleep a wink

What should I do with this thing?

Take the helm

Get the anchor up

Stow it in the fo'c'sle

Get down there

What for?

Get in the fo'c'sle

You'll find a box there

We'll be ashore soon. Stop acting the skipper

There's a rag in the box

Got it?

That's not all. The bucket too

I want that deck swabbed

Can't I do it?

Stay at the helm

Been an instructive trip, huh?

Nice to make new friends

Say something nice to him

Just make for that buoy

Where's my knife?

What happened to my knife?

Easy, nothing gets It on this boat

I didn't say it was It. Where is it?

In my pocket

Why did you take it?

Think I was scared of you?

I don't need a knife to handle myself

I want it back

Come and get it

Give me back my knife

Jump!

He'll drown!

He hasn't come up

Don't worry, he can swim

- He said he... - He was lying

Farther to the right

To the right! There!

He must be clinging to the buoy

No sign of him

Check the other side

Nothing!

You've drowned him!

What was his name? He's got to come up

He couldn't swim

He didn't even take a dip

How deep is it here?

20-30 feet

Deeper

Dive again. Call the police

A lot of good that would do

See, you admit it! You've drowned him!

Stop yelling!

Murderer!

You're scared!

Lost your nerve. Tough guy

Phony Clown!

You only took him along to show off!

What do you think you look like?

- Like your wife. - Without me you'd be a whore!

I hate you!

Push off, then! I'm sick of you!

Push off yourself!

You think I'm scared of the police?

You make me vomit!

Still showing off. You'll be back

So you can swim!

I didn't hear you. My teeth were chattering

Come back!

Let's try together

Get yourself a brandy

Where's my rucksack? I'll swim ashore

I honestly didn't hear

If I'd known it would come to this...

...I wouldn't have hidden

You're just like him...

...only half his age and twice as dumb

What do you know about life? Just cafes, yachts and cars

Bet you've got a four-room apartment

I suppose you live 4 students to a room

6, actually

I've been through it myself. So has he

You're no better than him

He was just like you. And you want to be like him

And you will be, if you've got the guts

6 to a room. You want to sleep, they play cards

You want to study, they dim the lights

Canteen lunches, cheap smokes

Kissing in the alley...

...fingers so cold you can't unbutton her blouse

Did I leave anything out?

Parents dead, sister got TB?

No...

They're alive?

Divorced. Both remarried

Any brothers or sisters?

Your parents help you?

Father does sometimes

Here. You'll catch cold

You're just a child

I'm sorry

Don't be silly

It's Monday

Will there be any trucks?

Plenty. Food trucks

Mondays the best day

Ready?

Fend off?

Yes

Aye, aye. Fend off

The wipers are gone

Didn't you hear me calling?

When?

I shouted

Did you go to the police?

Naked? I didn't have the car keys

You could have smashed a window. Are we going home?

No, to the police

About the wipers?

Scared?

No...

- You are - I'm not

Aren't you?

Yes

Don't go. It's enough you're scared

You weren't responsible

He was behind the buoy. He dived when I checked

You were gone when he showed up. We shouted

How could I hear anything?

It's all nonsense. You're making it up

You think you can save my neck

You tell me a pack of lies. I pretend to believe them...

then we read in the paper:

"19-year-old Youth Missing"

And we'll feel sick

You're the one who's making it up

I checked that buoy. He wasn't there

He's alive. So much so, I cheated on you with him

I'm not scared, you are...

...so much so, you're fantasizing

POLICE STATION 5 km

By the way, you never finished that story

Why have we stopped?

I'd like to believe you, but cheat on me with him? Bad joke

Sorry, I won't tell it again

It was all my fault

Why did that seaman jump on broken glass?

You didn't finish your story

What is it with you?

Where are we going?

He got overconfident

Did the trick once too often

He was a stoker. Hard soles from walking on coke

Been ashore a year. His feet had gone soft

He didn't realize

Did he ever try it again?

No idea what became of him
