These Daughters of Mine (Moje córki krowy)

THESE DAUGHTERS OF MINE

Don't you understand?

Unlike you, I can't get anyone to sub for me!

Don't you get that?!

Take that argument and shove it. Bye.

Hi.

- Ready? - Yes.

- Does our star know her lines? - I do.

But I'm so upset!

Nobody can piss you off like your own sister.

No, I don't know if I remember my lines.

- You're terribly shiny. Allow me. - I'll do it myself. I've had enough.

And get me some menthol right before we shoot.

- Okay. - Come closer to the set.

Rehearsal! Places, everyone!

- How do I look? - Fabulous.

You're such a liar. But somehow it makes me feel better.

Hold my phone, okay?

Come join us.

I'm Marta Makowska. Hello.

Pawel. He's not exactly the Casanova type.

But that could make the story more interesting.

So, Pawel. This marks your first appearance on the show.

But we're playing 'love' right off the bat.

Hey. What's up?

- I'm busy. - What are you doing?

Don't you have stuff to do, Mum? I have piano lessons.

I have to take Grandma to the hospital.

You should eat out today. Bye.

Nice and brown.

Just as you like it.

Eat, eat.

Listen...

Do we really need to go to the hospital?

I feel fine.

- There's no... - Mother!

How about we just skip it!

This is your last check-up.

You'll be done soon! We're going.

She was supposed to be here an hour ago.

Now she's just swallowing her food whole.

Why do you talk of me as if I wasn't here?

I came, didn't I? Kasia was supposed to take Mum.

You're older. You should be smarter.

Come on! She's 40!

Hi, Marta.

Give me a kiss.

You reek!

It was my name day. Which you forgot.

Best wishes.

Mum, your towel.

I'll sit down for a moment.

Hello.

Miss Grazyna! How nice.

I brought my mother in for scheduled admission.

Let's see her ID.

Mum, your ID.

I forgot where I put it.

- This? - Yes...

Please fill this out.

- What is today's date? - The 13th.

13th, Mum. Not 30th.

So, are you going to leave him?

The dark-haired one is so handsome! I wouldn't think twice if I were you.

Thank you.

Fourth floor.

One more thing.

- An autograph for my daughter. - Mum, wait.

- What's her name? - Asia.

Thank you.

Big TV star, my ass.

I need to pee.

So go.

I'll wait here.

Everything okay?

Mum?

Mum?

Mum?!

Do not enter!

What's going on?

Please stay out.

Sorry, my phone was on silent.

- Any news? - We're waiting.

She could sense something was wrong!

- Zuzia! - Leave it on, Grandpa.

Let me help you. Does it hurt?

I'll get you a chair.

She was fine.

She even called me!

Have a seat.

How is she, Doctor?

I'm the husband. Tadeusz Makowski.

Piotr Wolski.

Broken spine. Fifth and sixth thoracic vertebra.

Not now, Dad.

The CT scan showed a massive stroke. We'll need you to sign a consent form.

- Is that you? - Yes, and...

Marta.

Yes, me.

May I have a word, Doctor.

Is it dangerous?

Yes, but without the surgery she will die for sure.

She had a massive seizure, followed by a hemorrhagic stroke.

The blood has nowhere to go.

We need to operate. The brain is like a canister.

But she has diabetes, hypertension, cancer.

- When is my wife coming home? - How is he supposed to know?

I won't make it without her.

Let's go.

- Sign here. - Of course.

NO ENTRY

- Any news? - No, they're still operating.

I need to pee.

Take the lift down to the lobby. The restroom is by the exit.

I won't go by myself. I'm scared.

Scared of the lift? At your age? No way.

Then I'll hold it.

Wash your hands.

- Holy Mary, Mother of God... - Let's go. Maybe it's over.

...now and in the hour of our death. Amen.

Her condition is serious. We were unable to locate the hemorrhage.

We'll keep her in a medically induced coma.

How long?

No less than 24 hours. Possibly longer.

But she's going to be okay?

Please come back tomorrow.

You don't care about my mother at all.

Then fucking go live with yours!

Kasia, not in front of the kid.

He's not a kid anymore. It's about time.

I'm so fucking fed up. Let's just get a divorce!

Who else would put up with you?

Could one of you give me cash for the field trip?

Me, of course.

Because your good-for-nothing father doesn't have a job!

I'm looking.

- How much? - 150.

And some pocket money?

I love you, son.

- Have fun. - Thanks.

And you! Do something. Get out of the house already!

And now he's sulking.

Sulking.

Hello?

This is she.

I'm on my way.

- Is it Grandma? - She has an aneurysm.

- I'll go with you. - Don't you have an exam?

- I do, but... - You need to pass your exams!

- Maybe I should come... - I'll keep you posted.

- It doesn't look good. - Doctor?

Lunch for your son. Meatloaf and beet salad.

Thanks, darling.

So...

An aneurysm is a ticking time bomb.

If it had happened outside the hospital, your mother would be dead.

- But the first surgery was successful! - Is she getting worse?

Your mother's chances of recovery are slim.

Especially due to her other illnesses.

How can you say that? It's like you're killing her.

Stop acting like a child.

- Don't lecture me! - Shut up!

Smartass.

Is it bad, Doctor?

I'm sorry.

We have a therapist on the premises, if you want.

I don't need one, thank you.

I wouldn't mind.

Motherfuckers!

Go to work. I'll stay here.

"I'm sitting at home, healthy little miss

but, of this I'm certain, something is amiss

heaps of toys and games, computers and books,

ribbons, beads and hairpins in the cupboard nooks.

All my friends are throwing jealous looks, it shows,

because, unlike me, they don't have nice clothes.

I may have art classes, swimming and ballet,

but in spite of all that I'm still sad today.

I'd give it all up down to the last crumb

if only I could play with Dad or Mum.

I talk to the echo, in this house so cold,

I wish someone heard the...

...the sad tale I told."

Now let's get chummy, donuts are yummy,

Let's fill your tummy...

- Is she awake? - No.

- Drinking already? - Is that a problem?

- I'll get some plates. - What kind of filling?

Eggnog, raspberry, chocolate.

No plain ones?

You haven't finished your food.

Sweetie...

You're beautiful.

Come home already.

You hear me?

This instant!

- What else did the doctor say? - I don't know. Not now.

Filip, come inside.

What are you doing out here?

How could you do this to me?
