WORKSHOP EXERCISES

The Documentary Film Studio is conducting a survey.

How are the youth of today?

I've nothing to say about it.

Documentary Film Studio. How are the youth of today?

Have you permission to film in the factory?

Interviews are permitted, but no cameras.

This is not allowed. Sorry.

What factory? There's only you.

I'm not photogenic. I'm paid to keep watch.

So you won't speak about today's youth?

I could.

I feel young myself. But first I must see your authorisation.

Those are the rules.

Your opinion on today's youth?

Extra! Super! Magnificent!

In quotes, of course.

- What are you? - Normal.

- What does that mean? - I don't give a shit. Stop filming.

- What do you want? - We're doing a survey on youth.

No, really no.

I'm sorry, but...

Not my subject.

I'm not interested.

I don't give interviews. Sorry.

No, no, God forbid!

I'm in a hurry. Sorry.

I'm not saying.

It's difficult, because whatever one says...

...can be interpreted positively or negatively.

Of course I have an opinion. What would you like to hear?

He's a young activist, he can comment, not me.

I think they haven't got enough to do. No interests.

Only discos, perhaps. They don't get involved in anything.

As officers, we think youth is great. I hope they'll take notice of us

Thank you.

May I ask a question?

One moment, don't want to be filmed.

I see junkies. Who brings up youth like that?

Why is a punk going to school

with ten colours in his hair?

In the past there was discipline at school.

In my time, there was no such youth. They're tragic.

They don't work.

The older people work to sustain Poland.

Now leave me alone. I must go.

Youth today... what is it?

Nobody cares today, that's how things are.

There's nothing to be said about it. Nothing we can do about it.

Old people have just a few hours left before death.

What happens, happens.

We gave up everything, even our last rings...

...to build Poland in the twenties and thirties when I was young.

We had ideals then. They haven't now.

Young people have experienced too many shocks.

If I were young I'd be different today, too.

My prospects were worse, but I had ideals. Now I don't know.

Many are disillusioned.

Our hopes were brutally shattered.
