We need money How much of it Doesn't matter.
Just money I see Well, you can buy a 126 Fiat for this one And this one will get you two cars with Diesel engines And this series would be enough to buy a flat Er I believe you don't realize Well, and what is the value of the whole lot? Millions and millions Your father wanted to insure his collection for two hundred fifty million zlotys You see, your father put all his life in it It would be criminal to waste thirty years of somebody's life away Even if that somebody was just one's father whom one hardly knew at all Good-bye, gentlemen Good-bye Bloody hell Yeah.

Wants to talk to us Now, gentlemen Have you already come across the problem called the red Austrian Mercury? Well, we have Know its value? All we know there's one such stamp in Poland And I know who has it Your father tried to find out but couldn't all those years As far as I know he was very particular about it If you gentlemen are interested, too We're rather out of cash my brother here even sold his car, but Oh, no, money's not the problem Well, what is the problem then? You see, gentlemen, I'd like us to meet again to discuss it Only you'd have to have some tests made What tests? Nothing special Blood group, sedimentation, urine Yes As I told you this is not a financial problem the man I was telling you about lives in Tarnow You know, the owner of that red Austrian Mercury And what does he want? Just two stamps, a tiny series owned by a serious Szczecin businessman Well, what about him? That's a good question He in turn needs a small and inconspicuous stamp Which we have, right? But why on earth you needed our blood groups? No.
You haven't that stamp Who has, then? It so happens that I do You're the one Why not me? He's got the right blood group You see, gentlemen the red Austrian Mercury is worth over two million But it's not for sale All of the parties involved care for an exchange only What about you? Is blood what you want? No.
A kidney My daughter is seriously ill A girl of sixteen I've been looking for someone YOur father was too old Hell, what am I supposed to do? Let them remove one of my kidneys? To get a bloody stamp? To get the red Austrian Mercury Yeah, from 1851 You're right.
Why You have a family, wife and son No, I didn't mean that Why, it's a part of myself That's true.
In your place I wouldn't hesitate a minute What do I need that bloody kidney for I've got another one to live on A guy I know had his kidney removed over twenty years ago and he lives a normal life Likes his liquor and women and so on.
No problem at all And there's another thing I would also think about that girl To save the life of a young girl this counts, too It's so humane Artur! Come on I'm not trying to persuade you It's your kidney But it's our stamp, too One, two, three, four There's something wrong Yeah, but it's just the question of practice Couldn't you go with us after all? Such a tour I can't You've been trapped, eh? A girl? Some girl Great Oh, sorry Good morning Yes? You see I Are you Are you from the City Death? Actually, yes Gee I'm looking for my brother He's having his kidney removed right now Yes.
I've been there It'll be all right Really? I say, sir May I touch you? Sure Are you sure there's no danger? Doctor? How are you? I'm fine As if nothing happened at all Have you got it? Really? Of course Christ At last When did you get it? Ah, well, about a week ago Then why haven't you visited me to let me see it? I've been waiting all the time I feared he could have cheated us or something Or that you've decided to keep it for yourself I didn't know what to think I couldn't come What's the matter? Out with it During that operation, you know I stayed in the hospital and waited for news Yes? You see, we've been robbed Robbed of everything everything Bloody fool of a dog They locked him in the bathroom I told you he should be poisoned Move! Get off! What the hell did you go to the hospital for? They could manage without you Does it ache? Hey, did you report it? Here Who are you, sir? A brother Yes, my brother's just been released from the hospital And how do you feel? How shall I feel in these circumstances? Do you know what was in this flat? Yes, I know well enough By the way, sir Your brother didn't know for sure The alarm apparatus in the window and balcony door had been disconnected From inside the flat I did it It hooted every time I put the grill on You know to be able to open the window I thought the grill was enough I see.
Your brother wasn't sure Well, good-bye, gentlemen Good-bye We'll get in touch with you, sir Here's my phone number in case you should want to see me Thank you You never told me About that alarm device I forgot This is all we have It's yours Why? The kidney was yours Besides, I don't want it Where are you going? What business is it of yours? I'm moving away I've found a job in a bar Leave me alone, will you? I don't care a damn about this here You wanted to see me, sir? Good afternoon Bye Yes? It's rather difficult to say You're sure to think the worst of me Don't worry about it I think you should Well, check my brother That dog, you know Only my brother could touch him and yet the robbers managed to lock him in the bathroom He says he spent many hours in the hall while I was operated on That's right he sat there all the time Later, he even lay in the nurses' duty room No, I didn't mean he did it But some of his friends, perhaps You know, the company he keeps Thank you You've helped me a lot Good afternoon.

All we know there's one such stamp in Poland And I know who has it Your father tried to find out but couldn't all those years As far as I know he was very particular about it If you gentlemen are interested, too We're rather out of cash my brother here even sold his car, but Oh, no, money's not the problem Well, what is the problem then? You see, gentlemen, I'd like us to meet again to discuss it Only you'd have to have some tests made What tests? Nothing special Blood group, sedimentation, urine Yes As I told you this is not a financial problem the man I was telling you about lives in Tarnow You know, the owner of that red Austrian Mercury And what does he want? Just two stamps, a tiny series owned by a serious Szczecin businessman Well, what about him? That's a good question He in turn needs a small and inconspicuous stamp Which we have, right? But why on earth you needed our blood groups? No.
You haven't that stamp Who has, then? It so happens that I do You're the one Why not me? He's got the right blood group You see, gentlemen the red Austrian Mercury is worth over two million But it's not for sale All of the parties involved care for an exchange only What about you? Is blood what you want? No.
A kidney My daughter is seriously ill A girl of sixteen I've been looking for someone YOur father was too old Hell, what am I supposed to do? Let them remove one of my kidneys? To get a bloody stamp? To get the red Austrian Mercury Yeah, from 1851 You're right.
Why You have a family, wife and son No, I didn't mean that Why, it's a part of myself That's true.
In your place I wouldn't hesitate a minute What do I need that bloody kidney for I've got another one to live on A guy I know had his kidney removed over twenty years ago and he lives a normal life Likes his liquor and women and so on.
No problem at all And there's another thing I would also think about that girl To save the life of a young girl this counts, too It's so humane Artur! Come on I'm not trying to persuade you It's your kidney But it's our stamp, too One, two, three, four There's something wrong Yeah, but it's just the question of practice Couldn't you go with us after all? Such a tour I can't You've been trapped, eh? A girl? Some girl Great Oh, sorry Good morning Yes? You see I Are you Are you from the City Death?

Of course Christ At last When did you get it? Ah, well, about a week ago Then why haven't you visited me to let me see it? I've been waiting all the time I feared he could have cheated us or something Or that you've decided to keep it for yourself I didn't know what to think I couldn't come What's the matter? Out with it During that operation, you know I stayed in the hospital and waited for news Yes? You see, we've been robbed Robbed of everything everything Bloody fool of a dog They locked him in the bathroom I told you he should be poisoned Move! Get off!

A brother Yes, my brother's just been released from the hospital And how do you feel? How shall I feel in these circumstances? Do you know what was in this flat? Yes, I know well enough By the way, sir Your brother didn't know for sure The alarm apparatus in the window and balcony door had been disconnected From inside the flat I did it It hooted every time I put the grill on You know to be able to open the window I thought the grill was enough I see.
