The Decalogue (Dekalog)

Good morning

Is this perhaps yours, sir? Fell out of somebody's window

No!

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

I don't remember all the names about his health?

Yes

I inform the families on Wednesdays, 3 to 5:00:00 PM

Come to the hospital

But Wednesday's only the day after tomorrow...?

It's Monday today

I'm sorry I didn't run you over instead of your dog

Come on in, Barbara!

Good morning, Doctor?

There's something wrong, Barbara...

It doesn't bloom

Dorota? Are you there, Dorota?

Why don't you answer the phone? The 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

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 cut 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 hold his granddaughter on his knees

She's laughing and trying his tooth

And then that lady comes to meet me in the hall

Her eyes are black ringed for lack of sleep

She says, I don't like it... Too many teeth here...

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 of 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

Do you know the time?

It's past ten...

Thank you

Which room is Mr. Geller in?

Geller... The one we've operated on? Room12

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

Good-bye

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 ther belated, all of that

What do you mean?

Thing ae 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

Shall 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 on the ads

Will tell you about them when I come on Wednesday, Barbara

Just a moment

I'm coming

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

Madam...

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... 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 ago. 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 avery close friend

I don't know what to do...

Do you understand?

Do you know it's possible...

to love two men at once?

It is...

Do you understand?

He has little chance to get better, about several percent

The odds that he's going to live,

that is just to vegetate, are fifteen percent

That's what you can find in scitific books

But I've seen too many people in my life

who ought to have died but lived on

...and too many others 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...

Ah, 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?
