Enemies: A Love Story Page #4

- I'm in a bookstore.

- [Animals Growling]

- Uh, what?

- [Bird Chirping]

It's, uh,

it's a jungle book store.

That's right... No.

Oh, sure. There are jungles

in Baltimore.

[Roars]

I know that, sweetheart.

I-I know.

- I-I miss you too.

- [Roars]

I will. Listen. I will... I will...

I will call you tomorrow.

I promise you.

That's right. Bye-bye. [Kissing]

Y-Y-You... Say hello

to the birds for me.

Yeah, bye-bye.

"Yadzia."

Come home with me

and I'll show you something

your Yadzia would blush at.

- [Roaring]

- [Roaring]

Would you still want me...

- if we both died young...

- Oh, Masha.

And were buried in the same plot

and I came to you...

- in your grave?

- [Moans]

Would you still want me?

Always.

Always, Masha.

[Groans]

Herman?

Herman?

- Herman, wake up.

- Mm.

Herman, Masha says

she's gonna meet you

in the cafeteria at 12:00.

And, uh... they're looking

for you in the newspaper.

See?

Nowadays, when someone

is looked for in the newspaper...

it's no small matter.

[Talking, Indistinct]

[Baby Crying]

Come in, Mr. Broder.

A miracle from heaven,

Broder. A miracle.

Call her in.

Your wife has returned.

Hello, Herman.

I didn't know

that you were alive.

That's something

you never knew.

[Door Closes]

- Our children?

- Dead.

Sit. Sit down.

Th-Th-They told me

that you were killed by a-a-a...

- a firing squad.

- They shot two bullets into me.

One is still here in my body.

It's as if you've...

you've risen from the dead.

We were dumped in

an open pit, hundreds of us.

They thought

we were all dead.

But I crawled over some corpses

and escaped at night.

It was raining or the Nazis

would have seen me.

Then I fled to Russia.

I lived in the woods,

for years.

How was it my uncle

didn't know where you were?

We had to put

an advertisement in the paper.

I-I don't have my own apartment.

I live with someone else.

What do you do?

Where do you live?

I didn't know

that you were alive.

- I think...

- Who's the lucky woman

who has taken my place, Herman?

She isnt Jewish.

She, uh...

She's the daughter

of the Pole in whose house

I lived during... during the war.

A peasant?

Who is she?

She was our servant.

You knew her.

Uh... Yadwiga.

Yadwiga?

You married her?

[Chuckles]

Forgive me.

Wasn't she a little

simple-minded?

I remember she didn't know how

to put on a pair of shoes.

Your brother used to tell me

how she used to put

the left shoe on the right foot.

Tamara.

- She saved my life.

- Was there no better way

to repay her?

[Chuckles]

Sorry. I shouldn't ask.

Do you have

any children by her?

Children? No.

Well, it wouldn't

shock me if you did.

I assumed you crawled
