like it's your own?

Awfully cool.

Other people are fools, right?

I'll tell you something, kitty.

And read my lips,

because I won't repeat it.

Only 5% of all people are smart.

They set the tone.

The rest just follow.

Statistically I usually deal with

someone of the 95% dimwits,

so I don't give a sh*t.

And my self-assurance gives me

an initial advantage of several moves.

So you kind of run the globe?

Mr. Know-It-All! A genius.

A genius isn't one who knows it all,

but one who knows sooner.

The historian called back at last.

Her name's Elzbieta Dabrowski.

Kitty, I'm off!

What about lunch?

Well, you see...

Lower, the campaign...

What can I do?

Save it for dinner.

Love you!

Lower Casimir

Speak of the devil.

Good to see you, Bruno.

I had a dream

that I need to tell you.

Really? Go ahead.

In my dream I was a king.

Which means you'll be president.

And king later on.

Being just president sucks.

We need to choose a name for me.

You really mean it? Funny enough,

your name would mimeo the town's.

So?

Okay then, let's add "on-Vistula".

Lower Casimir

Oh sh*t!

The town has to be renamed.

- What's your middle name?

- Maria.

Maria was a queen.

Then perhaps King Casimir

Augustus Lower.

Yeah, sure. King Casimir Augustus

the Fifth Lower Molar.

Why fifth?

There've been four Casimirs so far.

Fifth's just great.

Because?

We have the Fifth Republic.

Right. A V-sign can stand

for both the Fifth and Victory.

Presidential victory.

Or for Volkswagen.

- That's neither here nor there.

- Sure. We don't want German words.

Okay, whatever.

Just remember:
you're an ace.

I do remember.

I'd let them all have it.

You sure will. Relax.

When I'm in the mood.

So long.

What's this king thing?

He's off on a power trip.

I let him ride, it's his soft spot.

Who is it?

Bruno Volta.

Come on in.

It traveled far.

Who would have thought?

In brief, is this credible?

And logistically possible?

Casimir the Great did visit Lublin

a couple of times.

He even got sick once.

But there's no mention of the crown.

I have a theory about how it started,

but the rest is guesswork.

We'll appreciate some details.

Let's start at the beginning.

When Casimir the Great died,

who was elected king?

- You asking me?

- Every Pole knows it. Who?

Louis...

Louis the Hungarian?

Very good!

What dynasty?

Angevin.

Let's get it straight:

we're not here for a history test.

We want your opinion on the fact.

What fact?

Whether it's likely that Casimir's

crown was found in Spain.

His regalia disappeared

right after his death in 1370.

His successor's coronation

took place twelve days later.

Then Louis returned to Hungary
