A Cat with a Dog (Jak pies z kotem)

A CAT WITH A DOG

Daddy's flying towards us.

What are you crying about?

I thought it was daddy.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Thanks.

Hello?

Gutek!

- Gutek who? - It's Andrzej's friend here.

- I do his errands... you know. - Ah, yes, I see. What is it?

Your brother's not well... he might be dying.

Come quick, he's dying!

How long have we been together?

I don't remember.

That's you all over.

I've never met him.

Who?

- Your brother. - Lucky you.

Getting us out of bed at this time!

What are you waiting for?

I don't remember the number.

110 I think.

It's open.

Come on! Hurry up!

- Janusz? - Yes.

Andrzej's not well. Please come in.

- Can we open the window in here? - No, the cat will get out!

- Where's Andrzej's wife? - On tour in America.

Andrzej?

Andrzej?

- What's the emergency number? - Three nines.

It looks like an ischemic stroke. We'll know more in the afternoon.

Does your brother drink alcohol?

It's been known.

You're the younger one, right?

Right.

Mariola, come and take a photo of us.

Which films are yours and which are his?

Smile!

How is he?

Well... The man he was is gone now. I mean...

He'll need pyjamas,

a toothbrush, toothpaste.

We'll buy the rest on the way.

We must tell Iga. I just don't know how.

I feel really sorry for her.

This is the left brain, for logical, rational thinking, and intellect.

It's completely dead.

The right brain: emotions, fantasies, creativity -

it's also damaged to a large extent.

The white spots are the brain that your brother's left with.

It looks like a photo of the cosmos.

And this black thing, what is that?

That is dead tissue,

most likely, the right side is completely paralysed.

Are there any chances of improvement?

I don't want to give you false hope.

Your brother's going to sink into fantasy, illusion, he'll have visions.

Finally the brain will give in to its strongest part, the brain stem.

Then the patient will start to resemble our ancestors.

Primitive instincts: rage, fear, impulses to attack or flee.

You must brace yourselves, show great patience.

This has nothing to do with character,

it's a disease.

The director creates his own cosmos in a film.

He sets the order and the rules that govern it.

South - north, up - down.

If there's no order, no laws, the dramaturgy will collapse.

Nothing's final, there's no point of reference.

There's no good or bad.

And how do you do the flying?

What flying?

On the green screen.

But who's flying?

Doesn't matter. We're here to learn the craft.

Do you know or not?

Green screen, blue or red screen... Any shit screen and a rope.

You tie a guy's legs and he's flying.

Sorry, I must finish now. Next week, we'll talk about Bergman.

It's a Swedish car.

Goodbye.

Hi.

Do you want to go home or straight to the hospital?

Have you got two tens?

Here.

Keep the change.

To the hospital.

Slower. Don't go so fast.

I can't go slower. It's a motorway.

So where are we going?

To Andrzej.

A-ha.

What the hell are you doing?

What are you doing to me?

Andrzej?

Andrzej?

Nurse, don't let him suffer, I'm begging you.

Don't worry.

He doesn't feel anything now.

So what?

He is the love of my life.

My God, look at you!

Nurse, is there a kiosk here with things for shaving?

There's one downstairs.

I'll give you the money, could you bring some, please?

Give her the money, I only have dollars.

Why shave him?

Don't interrupt and don't discuss. Give her the money!

Keep the change.

Easy, easy, Andrzej.

I don't know how...

I broke the contract and he didn't even wake up or kiss me.

But when I put my hand on his forehead, he smiled.

God, what will happen to us now?

It's open.

Where are you?

Here.

Shall we go?

No, I'm not going.

I don't have the strength.

I'm barely alive.

Look at me, I don't want to live.

Andrzej needs you very much.

He needs me very much and I need him now

so much.

Right here and now.

But he's not with me.

How could he do this to me?

Don't stand there staring, just go to the hospital

and bring him here, now, this instant.

Can I help you?

I'd like to see my brother. May I?

Yes, you may. But he's just raving, that's all.

Can you see me?

Can you understand what I'm saying?

If someone tells you that suffering is noble,

buy a big whip and hit them over the head a few times.

Just raving.

Please go outside sir, dinner has arrived.

- But I'm talking to my brother. - But it's feeding time!

Bring me something tasty.

What would you like?

Seafood.

- Good morning. - Morning.

What would you like, sir?

What's the best thing you've got?

Everything is good here.

- Our oysters are very good. - Six, please.

Ok, anything else?

- What's this here? - Crab and octopus...

Good...

May I suggest oysters for starters,

then seafood soup

and finally escalopes with dumplings.

You take one too.

Prawns...

Later, later.

Look, dumplings.

With mushrooms.

Oh fuck!

I see you're getting better.

We can rent a boat, no license needed.

For four.

We can just get in and sail away.

And what about the dogs?

We'll take them,

and the bikes and off we go.

We'll travel around, stopping at inns, it'll be great.

- Fed up of the summer house? - No, but we have to plan ahead.

Move our asses, enjoy life while we can.

But the kids are coming.

We'll take them with us.

Morning. Hello brother, how's it going?

I don't want to worry you, but your brother is not cooperating.

Andrzej, you hear what he's saying?

Maybe he's in pain.

- Is something hurting you? - Here we go again, no cooperation.

Maybe you can talk to him, 'cause I don't have time.

Let's get out of here.

Where are you going?

Where do you want to go?

To the exit.

Getting the fuck out of here.

Where to?

To the Sobieski Hotel!

But first we should go home for our tuxedos.

Step on it!

Step on it!

Go.

Thank you for bringing him back.

What is this?

A conspiracy?

You little bastard, you sold me out!

You were and always will be just a dirty louse!

No way!

Let go...

You want me to die here!

Murderer of his own brother!

- Don't worry, he doesn't think that. - I'm not sure.
