of one of the highest buildings in Warsaw.

So do I.

You didn't let me finish.

You interrupted me,

and I had a really cool bit prepared.

You distracted me.

Adam, collect the package.

Adam Nowak,

please collect the package.

Thank you.

I hate my job, I'm lonely and bitter.

But I don't blame the Creator.

When I was little they thought, I had Asperger's,

then Tourette's, but I just tell the truth.

Maybe you just can't lie?

I can't lie.

I lied.

Of course, I can lie.

So, how did you get here?

In a boat.

Why in a boat?

I don't know.

Maybe I'm afraid of the attack.

Don't be stupid.

Subway.

The subway is the safest,

they won't blow it up.

It's too expensive,

it's not worth it.

They only destroy objects

when land tenancy is running out,

this way they govern through fear.

Bernard...

Is it true that you live in a broom closet?

Come on.

No hacker will steal my password.

Get in!

Don't worry, I don't bite.

And don't suck either.

Just joking.

Have you ever thought about

going on a disability pension?

No way.

It's a great ruse for thieves.

I've been working in the company

for as long as I can remember,

and when I had a problem

with a mortgage in Swiss francs

they offered me this room

so I wouldn't end up on the street.

I don't need much.

I like it here.

It's nice of them.

Right?

A vitamin?

Don't you miss windows?

A view?

Space?

Strange.

I've never thought about it before.

And besides,

no one's watching me.

Adam, can I ask you a question?

Please.

I mean, ask away.

Where did you come from, man?

You didn't clean my desk.

You don't deserve me taking it.

- Come on...

- No "come on", I said no.

The salesman swore on Allah it's real.

And that's why

we're from two different worlds.

I appreciate the gesture,

it must have cost

a half of your salary.

My grandma would call you romantic.

Gallant.

You're nice, really,

but sorry.

You'll be chasing me.

Yeah!

Only if I catch my scarf

in the door of your car.

Do you have a car?

You're not helping yourself

with those answers.

[Mushroom Killer]

[Maria, athlete's foot is not the end of the world - Mushroom Killer]

[Free Will Estate]

[Goria, don't put off a decision to start a family indefinitely]

[More space will give you wings]

[Free Will Estate]

There are already signs of the emergence

of very dangerous diseases

which haven't been seen

in Europe for a long time.

Cholera on Greek islands,

dysentery in Vienna

various types of parasites, protozoans,

which aren't dangerous

in the organisms of these people

but which could be dangerous here.

I remember every word,

your every smile.

Today, I noticed the first gray hair

on your temple...

It moved me immensely
