REGINA:

Mama, Wladek's home.

Mother dashes out of the kitchen.

MOTHER:

Thank God - Wladek! You're wounded.

SZPILMAN:

It's a little cut, nothing.

MOTHER:

I've been worried sick.

HENRYK:

I told her not to worry. You had

your papers on you. If you'd been

hit by a bomb, they'd have known

where to take you.

The girls suppress smiles.

MOTHER:

Henryk, don't say things like that,

God forbid, God forbid.

HALINA:

(calling through a

door)

Papa, Wladek's home.

Father appears in the doorway, beaming, clutching a violin

case.

FATHER:

What did I tell you?

SZPILMAN:

(looking around the

room, bemused)

What are you doing?

REGINA:

What's it look like we're doing?

The toing and froing continues non-stop.

SZPILMAN:

(to Henryk)

They bombed us, we're off the air.

HENRYK:

Warsaw's not the only radio station.

MOTHER:

Pack, darling, get your things,

pack.

SZPILMAN:

Where are we going?

MOTHER:

Out of Warsaw.

SZPILMAN:

Out of Warsaw. Where?

REGINA:

You haven't heard?

SZPILMAN:

Heard what?

REGINA:

Haven't you seen the paper? Where's

the paper?
