- Even to wash the floor?

- Nothing at all. - Fine.

Slowly!

It's nothing, sweetie.

- You're bad!

- It wasn't on purpose. - I'm sorry.

It's nothing, sweetheart.

I didn't see her...

I never want to see her again,

dumbbell!

You got knocked up!

I told you to be careful.

You're all the same!

You said to excite him

even without...

You dirtied my shirt,

you'll pay for it!

The tangler does the untangling.

- Madame, excuse me.

- Come in.

The collar of this blouse

is ruined, what do I do?

What can you do? Throw it out.

Too bad, it looked nice on me.

I can turn it around.

- You can do that too?

- It's not hard.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Wait, let me finish

the link on this bracelet.

Irena, the new maid.

- Good evening, sir.

- Good evening. Alright.

Daddy! Daddy!

- Did you bring me the castle?

- Forgive me, I forgot.

- Leave the room, please,

go to the child. - Immediately.

Tea, want a snack?

Tea?

I want to know why!

That's no way to talk!

It is!

I don't recognize anything here!

Lower your voice!

What, lower my voice? Whore!

- How dare you?

- How dare I?

I know you've got

your own friggin' stuff.

Oh, just stop it, please!

Hi, Tea!

Are you sorry to see me?

Mommy couldn't come.

Let's go.

You're right, I was a dumbbell.

How can I set things right?

- You tricked my mother.

- How?

You can't drive, I'll tell her.

Good, so you'll be rid of me...

...but it's not my fault

you don't know how to fall.

I'll tell her you peek

when she argues with your father...

...then you hide and cry.

- Hi, Mommy!

- Hello, sweetheart!

How are you?

How did it go?

- Fine.

- Good girl!

Now go with Irena...

...I'm doing urgent work.

See you later.

- Go look in your room.

- Why? - Go!

Wow! The princess castle!

- Thank you.

- Your father brought it.

Did you call Daddy?

Sure, I'm not like you

who never calls him.

Irena, the spin-dry!

- So now you can dial Daddy's number!

Good girl! - Yes.

Do you fancy going to the pool

for the swimming lessons?

Yeah, but I'd rather...

Hello?

One rag's not enough!

- Alright, it's all in order.

- Or there'll be a lake.

Did you get the pail?

- Did much water leak?

- None.

- Is this a miracle?

- I changed the rubber...

You're fantastic,

the end of a nightmare!

If that's all, I'll clean up

the kitchen and leave.

No, wait.

Your relationship

with Tea is better now.

Could you stay with her

until around midnight?

- Please go, I have no schedule.

- Good.

I know it was you.

- What?

- The present.

Why didn't you tell me?

I thought you'd be happier

to think it was from your father.

You changed hair color three times...

...black when you were born,
