00:00:17 THE TWENTIES... THE THIRTIES...
00:04:43 - Thank you very much. - Thank you, goodbye.
00:07:56 - You? - Me.
00:12:17 But it can be pretty exciting at times.
00:18:58 All the revue’s and cabaret’s are going under.
00:22:49 Two on one? That’s just un-Polish like!
00:26:25 Mr Director, I know a thing or two about this business.
00:30:36 to spend it with this lady-friend of yours.
00:33:29 More snow, gentlemen, way more!
00:36:20 - That’s too much snow. - Way too much.
00:39:32 No intimacy, no mood in this place at all,
00:43:01 Stairs, stairs, stairs, stairs, Like you’d see in Hollywood,
00:48:14 And it’s a void we treated ourselves to.
00:52:09 Where’s the director?!
00:55:20 - We’ll pay you... - You made a boxer into a dancer!
01:01:27 I know when I look at my wife’s face, I go through a crisis, myself!
01:04:40 I transferred all my assets to my wife and kid, just in case.
01:08:34 What are you even doing all day, every day?
01:12:47 That’s right.
01:17:09 Now I know why you brought me here,
01:22:32 - I have the same thing. - How do you do, boys?
01:27:36 The smell of wilted lilacs blue, And poems hidden in every word.
01:33:24 And the bank account likes it.
01:41:22 The smell of wilted lilacs blue, And poems hidden in every word.
