Yes. Grot.
Magda Grot.
Yes. The order is in my name.
At 12:35.
No. You're the one who doesn't understand.
To the minute.
No. You're the one who should listen to me.
Today has to run perfectly.
Everything is planned to the minute, so we have no delays.
What do you mean "ten minutes"?
Do you know how much I can get done in ten minutes?
I am calm. I just need your cooperation.
12:35 and not a second later.
And you will personally make sure of that. Thank you very much.

Hmm. Sound system?

And Zula?
Is she panicking yet?
Hmm. Not yet, but I'm sure she'll start soon.

You're a lifesaver, as always.
[guard] No problem.
Time is money.
-Is it true? -What?
[guard] About the boss. Is it really today?
I don't know anything.
I'll keep my fingers crossed!
-[lively music playing] -[indistinct chatter]
-[Magda] Hi. -Hello.
[Magda] Report.
Relax. You're just in time to save us all from disaster.
-[Magda] What is it this time? -It's fine. You got this.
[Zula] Nothing's ready. And who's idea was it to get balloons?
[men] Yours.
[Zula] Absurd. What is this? A child's party?
Zula, you are absolutely right.
Please get these balloons out of here now.
What kind of party is this?
Where were you? You forgot about Todd.
He's not on the VIP list.
Hmm. Double espresso with honey for madam director
and still water from an alpine glacier for Todd.
Coming right up!
[indistinct chatter]
Gentlemen, some space.
Idiot!
I sent you an email this morning with Todd's special schedule breakdown.
He's not on this list because he's got his own list.
-Have you seen him today? -[Magda] He's in great shape.
He does not look his age, right?
And the way he moves!
After all, aside from discopathy, diabetes, hypertension, renal failure,
and an enlarged liver, he's absolutely as healthy as a horse.
He's so skinny.
-And handsome. -[dog barking]
-There he is! The apple of my eye. -Water from an alpine glacier.
-Hi, Todd. -Yes, there. Who's a pretty little puppy?
-Are you gonna say hello? -[Todd growling]
Oh, great. I don't know what I would've done without you.
I don't even want to imagine, Magda.
You are irreplaceable.
Nobody takes better care of my Todd.
[Todd growling]
Really? Todd?
Well, everything. Nothing would've worked here if it wasn't for you.
I know it. I see it all.
Todd sees everything too, isn't that right?
Come here. Give me a kiss.
[Zula baby-talking]
[Zula] Oh, yes. Look at his eyes.
[upbeat music playing]
[Magda] All right.
[indistinct chatter]
Go potty?
No. Go potty.
[Todd whining]
-Right here or there? -Hey.
[Magda] Hi.
Do you remember the plan?
Muffin, you've texted it to me, emailed me,
added it to the shared calendar,
and even posted it on the refrigerator in the kitchen.
[chuckling] Do you remember or not?
I'm just kidding. I remember everything.
[man] So if today doesn't go exactly as planned,
and, God forbid, you don't get a promotion,
then you won't increase the viewership of the main channel over two years by 8%,
won't become a member of the board,
which means our wedding will automatically get postponed by a couple of years.
Not to mention, a child,
which we will start trying for in exactly 18 months after the wedding.
So, see? I know your plan perfectly by heart.
-I'm sorry. -My plan?
Our plan. And the most important thing.
Never, I mean never try to improvise.
-Yeah. -Yeah.

[dishes clattering]
[man] Show me your tongue.
Mm-mm. Not like that. Like at the doctor's.
-What are you trying to see? -Checking to see if you've been replaced.
[dot panting]
Come on, Dad. Really?
What happened to "five more minutes, please, Dad?"
"Dad, can I stay home from school today and play with Trombone?"
I have my own stuff to do.
Since when do you have your own stuff?
[boy] Since I've grown into a real man.
Just watch out that they don't get any milk on your mustache.
This is embarrassing. Real men don't have their dads make their lunch.
Do you have to walk me to school?
I don't have to, but I really want to.
[indistinct chatter]
I'll take it from here.
[light orchestral music playing]
That's why you wanted to come early?
Dad, not so loud!
[chattering indistinctly]
Will you introduce me?
[grunting] Trombone. All right, good luck.
[girls giggling]
Let's go.
[music stops]
Watch out, pipsqueak.
[scoffing] Daddy isn't walking you to class today?
[boy] Loser.

Board members, journalists, partners, and directors.

[everyone] Surprise!
-[all cheering] -[scattered chuckling]
You shouldn't have.
For the most wonderful boss. They are almost as beautiful as you are.
-Aww. -You worked hard for it. You deserve it.
My dears, I did not expect you all to throw a party for little old me.
-How long have you known? -For at least a week.
What can I say to the best team ever?
We came and we did great! It was a joint effort!
We would be completely lost without you, Zula.
With the premier of the new programming lineup,
which was a spectacular success today,
I have an announcement to make.
Here come the tears.
[scattered murmuring]
-[man] Let me… let me go. Let go! -[woman] Be careful!
As you know,
television is just…
television is basically my entire life.
I dedicated everything to it.
But nothing lasts forever.
And that's why I want to say that it's time…
to make space for someone else.
-[all gasping] -[Zula] It's time… it's time…
time for a short break.
And 50 is the best moment
to start thinking about expanding my family, you know?
[all laughing]
And, after all, Todd needs a sibling.
Todd! Of course.
But don't worry, my dears. Don't worry.
I won't leave you alone.
There is a person among us who fully deserves to take my place.
[dramatic music swelling]
Magda.
[all gasping, cheering]
Magda, Magda, Magda, Magda, only you can take my place.
[Zula chuckling]
[Zula singing] Magdalena
Magdalena
[all laughing]
Just the formalities.
Uh-oh.
Oh no!
-What's going on? -[all gasping, murmuring]
What is it?
[man] I didn't do anything.
[tense music playing]
Oh my God!
Todd!
Why are you standing around? Resuscitate him!
Oh my God!
Magda, I thought you were taking care of him?
-I was taking care of Todd. -Oh, "taking care"?
You call this taking care of him, Magda?
Call an ambulance!
-I'll call them. I got it! -I can't believe this.
Did you do this on purpose?
Are you in such a hurry to take my place?
You knew that if something happened to him, it would break my heart.
You're fired. Take your things and leave!
Zula, Zula--
Why are you still talking to me?
I will see to it that you never work in television again.
My dear, you are finished in this industry forever.
Yeah. And all in all it's been…
[man] Okay. We're clear here.
[whimpering]
[Magda breathing heavily]
[somber music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[Magda gasping]
[Magda crying]
-Magda! Magda! -[Magda] What?
[sighing] Sorry it turned out this way.
Sorry?
I mean the situation with Zula, you know.
I'm sorry you failed, but looks like you're gonna have to change your plan.
My plan?
Uh, one sec.
[sighing heavily] Magda, you're not the only one that has a schedule,
and there's no place in mine for a would-be programming director.
You understand?
Sorry, Magda.
[clicks tongue]
[sniffling]
[breathing heavily]
I'm sorry.
Sorry about Todd.
But they say he was breathing when they took him away,
so maybe he'll pull through.
Could I get my car?
[guard sighing]
Unfortunately, I can't.
They called from upstairs. The car stays with the company.
[bell tolling]
[indistinct chatter]
-All right. So what's her name? -Doesn't matter.
-Karol. -Tosia.
Tosia. That's very pretty.
-Does she like you? -She doesn't even know who I am.
-Don't worry. She will. -But how?
Because you're a super-great guy with a super dog.
So what am I supposed to do?
Nothing. Give her some time.
[Trombone growling]
And if… if she doesn't notice me?
That means she wasn't really worth waiting for.
It is what it is, and whatever will be, will be.
If you say so.
[Trombone whining]
-Maybe we can go to an arcade? -I don't want to.
[contemplative music playing]
Don't worry. It'll pass.
And did it pass for you after Mom died?
It's different for me.
You've never found someone else.
Because the right person never showed up.
But you're still pretty young.
Dad, I really think you need a girlfriend.
You think that?
You can't live alone after I move in with Tosia.
We have to find you someone.
Hmm.
Race you down the hill!
[uplifting music playing]
[man] Trombone's winning!
[Trombone barking]
-[man] Trombone! -[Trombone yapping]
[man] Come on, up! Right, left!
-[Karol] Right, left, right, left. -[Trombone panting]
Oh, hello, gentlemen. Fancy running into you.
Maybe you can pop in for dinner. I'm making roast boar.
Do you know how important it is for a young man to eat a hearty meal?
-Yes. -Dad is a very good cook.
Your daddy does everything very well.
But sometimes you need some time for other things.
-[man] Irena. -You have a lot of responsibilities.
-I'm managing okay. -I like to help Dad too.
I'm talking about a different kind of help.
If you really want to help, then you can take Trombone out for a walk.
He's had terrible diarrhea all day.
[Trombone barking]
True.
I would recommend taking him to the veterinarian.
[Irena exhaling]
[whimpering]
[Irena screaming]
[man] Thank you.
Do you still want me to find a girlfriend?
[Irena screaming]
Dad, how many square meters is our apartment?
It's 137 and a half meters.
With the balcony, without the studio.
And how big is the guest room?
It's 20 meters by 20 meters.
What is this for?
For Home Ec.
The food's ready, buddy.
And does Trombone like other animals?
He doesn't like cats.
Is that for Home Ec too?
Finish that later.
[Karol] Um…
SAVE / EDIT
WOMEN ONLY. NOT FROM WARSAW.
I'm done.
What's this?
Casserole à la Zygmunt.
What does Zula like? Zula likes to be right.
And Todd.
But Todd isn't here anymore.
[phone ringing]
[dog whining]
I was fired because of Todd,
so maybe I could get my job back because of Todd.
[dog panting]
DACHSHUND PARADE
[Magda] Hold on.
Wait. I've got something.
Hmm. Can I use your computer?
Sure. It's there in reception.
[anchor] The Dachshund Parade is an annual event in honor…
The Dachshund Parade in Kraków.
Todd almost won a prize there.
Apparently, he just barely lost.
Since then, Zula has wanted to do a story on the organization
to prove to everyone they're incompetent.
But they don't allow any media in the event.
There's some kind of code of silence going on.
[man] And you wanna infiltrate them?
It's supposed to be, you know, top secret,
but I did a little digging and found the foundation that organizes it.
-And bingo! -[man chuckling]
That's fortunate.
What's fortunate is that there's a room registered
at the same address on one of the couch surfing websites.
"Women only, but not from Warsaw."
[man chuckling]
It's perfect for you. Sounds like a challenge.

[man] "If ever in a dream you feel my eyes no longer look at you with love,
know that I've stopped living."
Beautiful, but a little wordy.
Is it really a problem for you?
Just count them up and charge them per letter.
And this time, you can use the highest rate we have. Problem solved.
["Rzuć to wszystko co złe" by Zbigniew Wodecki playing]
[Magda] Excuse me, gentlemen?
Hello.
[indistinct chatter]
How are you?
Um,
are you on the clock?
We're still on our coffee break right now, miss.
Could one of you take me to this address?
Princess, that's right across the street.
You can walk right over there.
It's a beautiful day today.

Oh, don't touch it. It belongs to a customer.
Look, this is our theme for today.
Here. Take this. You like chocolate, don't you?
What do you say?
[Karol] Good day to you.
Guys, you didn't have to.
-You're welcome. What's family for? -I have something special for the table.
-Hold on! -[Karol] Trombone!
[funky music playing]
-[Karol] Trombone, come back! -[man] Where are you going?
[man] Grab him! Hold him tight! Hold him!
Where did he go?
[indistinct shouting]
-[Trombone barking] -[man] Hold him! Hold him tight!
[Karol] Help me!
[indistinct shouting]
-[man] Hold him! -[Wiktor] I got your legs!
-[door opening] -[Karol] Help me!
[man] I got him. Get ready.
-Come here. -The fun is over!

Hello. Did you need something?
[Trombone growling]
[door slamming shut]
[Trombone howling]
[grunting] Watch it!
[Magda] Excuse me! Excuse me, sir!
Wait a minute.
-Albert, are you lost again, sir? -What seems to be the trouble?
You have to come with me right now.
Excuse me. Can't you see we're busy?
Officer, there's a child in danger!
A-and a pet.
Can you take care of him, please?
Slow down. No need to hurry.
Could you walk a little faster?
It's like I'm talking to a brick wall.
[man] I mean that a person starts their second life
when they decide that they are finally done with their first one.
[Irena] Well, then…
Oh.
You said a child was in danger?
-Morning gentlemen. -Hey, Rajmund.
What about the ladies?
Oh. Good morning. Sorry. What am I supposed to do with them?
Want some violet juice? Zygmunt brought it over from France.
-Hi, Zygmunt. No, I'm on duty. -Uh-huh.
[funky music playing]
Um, there was…
there was a wreath, and they were…
That was a customer's wreath, my dear, because we work at a cemetery.
[Zygmunt] And as Hesiod said,
"There is no shame in hard work."
Although, from a transcendental viewpoint, that depends on the circumstance.
Are you dropping your accusation?
Well, I know what I saw.
Logic will always take you from point A to point B,
while imagination, everywhere.
Hesiod?
-No, Einstein. -[Trombone barking]
[Magda sighing]
Excuse me. Are you the one who answered my ad?
Why didn't you say you were here to rent the spare room?
Don't be mad. We were just trying to play a stupid prank.
[man] Karol!
Do you welcome all your guests with such a gruesome display?
-Guests? -[Karol] It's my fault.
Yesterday, I reactivated your old account
on that website where you can rent out the spare room.
And I rented it. But, of course, if it's a problem…
Dad, we can't let her sleep at the train station.
-I'd better get going. -My son's right. Please stay.
-I really don't want to be any trouble. -I insist.
-But I don't want there to be problems. -And I would really like you to stay.
Well, how can I say no to that offer?
You can't, Miss.
Where are you traveling from?
From Warsaw.
Come in, come in. Welcome.

He likes you.
You think?
This is our house specialty.
-Violet juice, huh? -[chuckling] What is a name, really?
Zygmunt?
The name has nothing to do with an entity in itself.
Porphyry, for example,
used to think that we should start with a particular item.
The negation of the name gives us…
The species.
And negation of the species…
Genus.
And so on and so forth, until we reach the widest possible concept.
Um, so maybe let's try distilling this entity down to its proper name.
My name is Magda.
Nice to meet you.
Do you like dogs?
[Magda] Um,
yeah, of course.
Very much.
-What's its name? -Trombone.
[Trombone barking]
And he's not an "it," he's a "he." He's a member of our family.
He's got a great name.
Are you staying with us until Saturday? There's a parade.
It's not the famous one?
Yeah. That one. We all help organize it.
I help and Trombone helps. Right Trombone?
Karol, hmm, I don't think this is a very interesting subject for our guest.
In my job, I used to deal with things like that all the time.
Organizing, strategy, planning.
-I'd be glad to help. -[Karol] That's great!
[man] I'm sure you're very busy.
Plus, one of my good friends and her dachshund, Todd,
almost won a prize for the best couple in the parade.
-Todd? Did I hear that right? -Todd. Yeah.
[Trombone barking]
-[Zygmunt] Remember Todd? -[Karol] Yes.
He tried so hard, the poor thing, but all that trying came to nothing.
Ow!
-Is everything all right? -Yes, yes.
Um, thank you for your offer, but we don't need any help.
What do you mean?
We definitely need her help. We're totally behind on everything.
Ow!
While we're talking about it then, we wanted to propose a new category.
[Wiktor] That's right.
-Art dedicated to animals. -Yeah?
[Wiktor] People can apply with paintings, collages.
But we'll be giving the highest scores to sculptures.
That's very funny.
Oh, but everyone is gonna need to read the rules and guidelines first,
so they don't think they're getting into a gallery in Warsaw
while all that's required is some functional city art.
For dogs.
In Warsaw, in basically every park on every corner,
they have these canine latrines.
But this one is particularly hideous.
[Trombone yapping]
Can I take a look?
-It is pretty terrible. Yeah. -Yeah.
[both chuckling]
Well, we've learned that you know a lot about art.
We might actually need some help with the parade, if you would.
I propose that our new friend should get our permit this year from Basia.
Oh… [chuckling]
-From that Basia? -Yes. That Basia.
[Irena] Perfect.
You said it yourself, you know a lot about organizing and getting things done.
Sure. When should I get it?
Yesterday.
Oh. [chuckling] Excuse me.

Ma'am, I…

Why are you in such a hurry?
Let's have a cup of tea.
-No, thanks. -"No, thanks"? Not even a sugar cookie?
No, thank you.
[clerk exclaiming]
I need a permit to drive into the main square for the Dachshund parade.
Uh, Dachshund Parade…
Hmm.
But that's not for five days still.
[sighing heavily] All right.
-To get that permit, you'll need form D-- -125, right?
-Well, yes, but it's, uh, missing the-- -F45 Form.
Forty…
No. [chuckling]
What about the permit?
That's what I came here for.
Um, th-the permit allowing you to drive through access roads.
Ma'am, you need a way to get into the square somehow.
Drive in to the square.
You understand?
Without that, my hands are tied.

See that? My nail polish is ruined.
Ma'am, um, please come back when you have the proper paperwork and permit.

Unfortunately, I can't help you with this.

How could I help you?
The permits to drive over the curbs around the main square.
[clerk] Mm-hmm.
Why are you in such a hurry? Maybe we'd like a cup of tea?
-I don't want a tea. -Why are you so irritated?
I'm not getting irritated. Can we get to the point?
Do you have the permit to drive into the main square?
Excuse me?
Without it, I won't be able to issue you a permit
so you can drive over the curbs.
They're an integral part of our historic main square.
Hold on.
So, to enter the main square I need a permit to drive through the access roads,
and to drive through access roads, I need a permit to drive over curbs,
and to drive over curbs, I need a permit to enter the historic main square.
Yes. That's right. What's so confusing about that?

Ma'am, I'm so very sorry, but I can't give you that permit today
because my hands are really tied, you see?
All right. Then I want your refusal in writing,
stating why you won't issue the permit.
Excuse me?
Please don't forget to include a signature and the official stamp.
I'll take it directly to your superior, and then to the media.
Local and national.
Okay. Hold on.
[funky music playing]
[breathing deeply]
I really don't understand why you're in such a hurry,
especially after that phone call
that I received from your organization this morning,
saying that it wasn't even that urgent to get the permit.
Who called you?
[woman] Hmm.
It was a woman that called.
-Her name was I think… -[Magda] Irena?
Uh, Irena, that's exactly the name.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Irena.
Since we've basically decided on the color of the ID lanyards,
I'd like to propose moving on to the--

I would've been quicker, but I ran into some minor inconveniences.
-Nice. Bravo. -That's good.
What did you say? I didn't catch that.
I'm very happy that everything's been taken care of.
Good job. Well done. Wiktor.
What about the invitations?
We need to make about 20 phone calls,
ten in-person meetings need to be set, and it'll get done.
-Wouldn't it be easier to send an email? -Here we prefer a more personal approach.
So you would prefer to waste time?
Yes. Catering?

Karol. Maybe not for everyone.
[Trombone whimpering]
Um… um,
I was thinking about sponsors. May I?
Help yourself.
And since you don't have any, I thought we could shoot some promotional material,
and then, um, publicize the event in the media?
I can shoot the whole thing.
-No. -Why not?
[man] Well, we don't have any sponsors because we don't need them.
We like what we're doing and that's why we do it for free,
We don't wanna change it. That's why no cameras, no media.
[Trombone growling]
I was just trying to help.
I appreciate it.
You want hot cocoa?
-You have cocoa? -We do. Would you like some?
Uh… um, that's okay.
[cup clattering]
All right.
So what should I do today?
Oh, nice of you to ask,
because today until noon, I'd really appreciate it
if you did absolutely nothing.
So can I make you a cocoa?
[birds chirping]
[contemplative music playing]
[camera shutter clicking]
HOW ABOUT THIS FOR A STORY? SEND
TO ZULA HOW ABOUT THIS FOR A STORY?
[Trombone whimpering]
[Magda] What do you want?
[Trombone yapping, whimpering]
Um, may I have a look in there?
[Trombone barking]
Hmm. No.
[Magda exhaling nervously]
Want a doggie treat?
[Trombone barking]
Do you have some special toy here?
-[Trombone barking] -[Magda] No?
Go outside?
[upbeat music playing]
[Trombone barking]
Hey! Trombone!
Wait! Not so fast!
Trombone! Please!
Can we go back home, now?
-[Trombone yapping] -[Magda panting]
[door opening, closing]
Hold on. No, come here.
[Trombone panting]
[Magda sighing]
[bones cracking]
Oh no, no, no buddy! Don't even think about it.
Down.
[Trombone whimpering]
[Trombone barking]
[exhaling sharply]
[Trombone whimpering]
[dramatic music playing]
Aha!
Well, that explains a lot.

AGE WITH GRACE STAY BEAUTIFUL
INVITATION TO AN INTERNSHIP AT AKADEMIE BILDENDE KÜNSTE-BILDHAUREI
[cell phone chiming]
FROM KRZYSZTOF OUR OFFICE CORNER OF BOŻEGO CIAŁA AND MEISELS
I understand being five minutes late, ten minutes late, but--
Well, Krzysztof, it is what it is, and whatever will be, will be.
Stop it! Come on.
[pop music playing]
This is your office?
Yeah. You like it? I think it's pretty.
Pretty.
Would you like some wine, dear? We're drinking wine.
No, I think it's too early for that.
We're expecting someone. Unfortunately, he's late.
-Oh, there he is. Good morning, Professor. -[Wiktor] Good morning.
[professor laughing] How is… how is your art going, Krzysztof?
[Krzysztof] Could be better.
One should never give up.
I always say one should never give up on their dreams.
My dear madam, dear madam,
the issue we are here to discuss is very serious,
and we need to get straight to the point.
-Um, red wine, please. -Yes, sir.
Uh, I've been thinking about it all night.
We have to decide what criteria we'll use
when we are taking into account the bunny-like individuals.
What's "bunny-like"?
[professor] Well, we cannot ignore the tails.
I know it's a controversial issue, and wildly unconventional,
but we do have to include the tail.
Uh, measuring Dachshunds
is a really complicated and delicate issue.
Why are we measuring Dachshunds?
The professor is the eminent specialist in the field of cynology.
Salutations.
Uh, Magda Grot.
Excuse me, but I just received a message from the Department of Health
saying that they have some concerns.
Someone should be here in a few minutes.
Well, now I'm definitely not gonna make it.
Magda, listen. I won't be able to pick Karol up from school.
Could you maybe…
You need me to go now?
I'll text you the address. Thank you.
[Magda] I'll be back soon. Bye.
[professor] So…
Start!
[indistinct chatter]
Stop.
You're out.
Three, two, one, start!
Stop.
Okay. Name the five most dangerous monsters in the forest.
[scoffing] You're out.
[both laughing]
Start.
Uh, do one more.
Stop.
Name five of the best superhero powers.
Hey. Come on.
Give him something easier. He's too young for superhero movies.
[boy] His old man shows him kids movies about princesses.
Time.
[Karol] Flying.
Super speed.
Super…
Laser eyes!
Um, super power strength.
And mind reading.
You did all right this time.
Just this time.
[Tosia] Let's go.
How did you know all those superpowers?
You know, in my job, um,
I used to work in a place, where I needed to know a lot
about what shows are on TV and out in movie theaters.
Plus, I had to use my superpowers.
Listen. There was a girl who was smiling at you. Do you happen to know--
She was smiling at me?
-Serious? You saw it too? -[Magda] Yeah!
That's Tosia. One day we're gonna move in together.
Do you think I'm too young, also?
A little, but if you're gonna do everything you want to in life,
you'll have to start very early.
-Come on. But my Dad always says I have to wait.
That things like true love can't be hurried.
Well, it's no wonder he's alone then.
My dad is alone because my mom died when I was born.
I mean…
-I was just saying, that if that girl-- -[Karol] Tosia.
Tosia.
If you really like Tosia so much, you should go talk to her.
-What are you waiting for? -Will you help me?
Sure. I can help you. [chuckling]
Come on.
[indistinct chatter]
[Magda] After you.
In that case, we'll need to reach out for further consultations.
-The health inspector come? -Yeah. They just left.
Sit down, madam.
-So they find anything? -Nothing. Everything is good.
-Nothing? -Yeah. Nothing. That's great, right?
That's very good.
-[professor] Concentrate, Krzysztof. -Mm-hmm.
I will talk to professors Guz and Guzman.
I think it will be necessary
to settle the issue, uh, of measurements of the tails.
I think so too.
-What is he doing? -He's gonna play a concert.
Now? At work?
We could use a distraction.
-Um, white wine, please. -[waiter] Yes, ma'am. Coming right up.
[Wiktor playing "Nie przenoście nam stolicy do Krakowa" by Pod Budą]
[Krzysztof singing along]
[Krzysztof] Thank you, Professor.
-[professor] It was my pleasure. Goodbye. -[both] Goodbye.
-How was school? -Okay.
"Okay"?
Oh, I forgot that you don't ask grown men about such things.
Can we go home now?
Go home? Are you crazy? Today's Tuesday.
What's on Tuesdays?
-Tuesday's our day. Father-and-son day. -Oh.
We always go for zapiekanki to the Nowy Square,
and then to our deaths.
What?!
-Poetry reading. -Death. Wanna come with us?
Come on. Magda probably has her own plans with her phone
Well, actually, I do, but next time I'd gladly go with you.
Oh, definitely.
Okay? Last one there gets no ketchup!
Dad! No!
Hello, my dearest friend.
You've gone there to do a story
and something tells me you are going to organize an entire parade.
You know me too well.
Do they suspect anything?
[Magda] I think the dog does.
Really, he knows something.
[Trombone whimpering]
[Magda] Oh God.
Magda?
Anatol, he's not moving.
Calm down. What's going on?
Trombone's not moving. I don't know. I think he's dead.
Switch to video chat.
[suspenseful music playing]
That's what I thought. It's a muscle spasm.
You need to massage him.
He's been standing on his hind legs for too long.
But… but how?
I'll show you. Everything will be okay.
Touch him at this spot. By the spine.
I can't do it.
You can. Focus. He hasn't got much time left.
[Magda] What if I hurt him or break him?
Come on, Magda. Here.
[Magda] I can't! I won't be able to do it.
Do it!
Young Poland? Death.
But I would never be able to bring Tosia there.
You have a better place you know to take a girl out on a date?
I'm listening.
[Karol] To a superhero movie.
With flying, super speed, laser eyes, super strength, and mind reading.
Aren't you two a little bit young for that?
Magda! Trombone!
[Krzysztof] Magda!
-Is everything all right? -Yeah.
Trombone!
You should… Trombone…
I went on a walk with Trombone and what happened was that…
[Trombone whimpering, licking]
What happened on the walk?
It was very fun.
[Krzysztof] Hmm.
[chuckling] I'm glad you had fun. You have fun?
[indistinct chatter]
[Karol sighing heavily]
Ooh, Adam. Lookie who we got here.
-What? Daddy still peels your apples? -And he reads fairytales about ponies?
His dad has to, or the apple peel will get stuck in his throat.
Have you eaten your lunch yet?
You don't have to be mean just because nobody makes your sandwiches.
What?
Adam, aren't you gonna tell her off?
I'm not hungry. You want some?
Come on. Let's get going.
[uplifting music playing]
[classic music playing]
-Hello, Krzysztof! -[Krzysztof] Good morning.
-I've got fresh plums. Perfect for a pie. -[Krzysztof] Oh.
-Is it okay to try them? -Of course it is.
After all, It's all-natural. [chuckling]
-Why buy anything without trying? -Exactly.
-You like? -[Krzysztof] Delicious. I'll come back.
[indistinct chatter]
[Magda] That tastes good.
Good morning, Janka.
-[Janka] How are you today, Krzysztof? -A bag of potatoes, if you please.
[Janka] Ah. That'll be $5.50 today.
They only cost $4.50 at the other stand.
[Janka] But mine are the best.
That's true.
Well, will you take $5?
[Janka chuckling]
[Janka] Have it your way.
-Thank you. -Thank you. Have a nice day.
-[Janka] Have a nice one. -Let's go.
You're very direct, aren't you?
Is that good or bad?
I don't know. It's just kinda different.
[chuckling] That's a weird compliment.
I should have started with,
"The deep chestnut of your eyes in the rays in the morning sun."
But I didn't, because not everyone in this city is a poet.
Isn't that right, Dorota?
Not everyone. What are you gonna do?
-No, but-- -Have a nice day.
But an artist might be, right?
I-I've thought about it,
and you have nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to the canine latrines.
You know what it looks like, Magda.
So what? At least everyone in Warsaw knows it.
[scoffing] I don't think this is the kind of fame I was hoping for.
Everyone starts somewhere.
Being the artist behind the most well-known sculpture in the capital
is a pretty good start, don't you think?
Oh! [gasping]
[both chuckling]
Listen, Magda. Since you arrived, it's been…
-Yes? -Somehow…
-I don't know how to… -[Magda chuckling]
[Trombone barking]
Would you…?
-Yes? -Would you like to…
[both chuckling nervously]
Would you like to…
-[Trombone barking] -Um, yes?
Would you like to be in charge of the stalls?
-[Trombone whining] -What are you talking about?
-During the parade. -Oh yes!
Yes, of course. The stalls. I could get started on it immediately.
-Mm-hmm. Yeah, great. -That's great.
-And nobody else was-- -I know.
[Magda chuckling] All right. Fine. That's no problem at all.
-You know, I was afraid to ask. -Mm-hmm.
-That's great. It's a deal. -Uh-huh.
[Krzysztof] I'll try to untangle us.
-Oh right. -Trying…
-I'm sorry. Come here, Trombone. -Yeah. That's it.
[dramatic music playing]
-[man] Andrzej! -[Andrzej] What?
[man] Come here!
I thought the stalls were supposed to be placed on both sides?
[scoffing] Darling,
it's always been like this.
But according to the new plan--
It's always been like this, and it is perfect.
But that doesn't mean it can't be better.
Magda, do you always have to meddle in everything?
-Krzysztof! Hold on. -[Krzysztof] Yeah?
Krzysztof, do you have a minute to come talk to us?
Magda is trying to change the way we do things.
I was just thinking that, uh, if the stalls were on both sides here,
then there'll be a better path through the event,
and everyone could freely pass, and…
-And nobody will get tangled up. -Yes, but--
-By a dog, for example. -Krzyś.
Yes. Gentlemen, move half of the stalls to the other side, got it?
-Michał, could you handle that? Thanks. -Krzyś, but she's…
But…
[Karol] Trombone, sit.
[Magda] Wiktor, I have a question.
How well does Karol cope with stress?
I don't know, my dear. That's a strange question to ask.
Bear with me.
Was he ever on stage, you know, in front of an audience?
Maybe in a Christmas play or a spelling bee?
I don't know. Why do you ask?
-I have something in mind. -[cell phone ringing]
Hold on. One minute, okay?
Hello?
Um, hi, Magda. This is Ola.
W-w-wait, don't hang up. It's about Zula.
Magda, you're in Kraków now, right?
It's about the story. Zula gave you the green light.
Of course, you know her.
She's too proud to call you, but that's why I've called.
Magda, you're back in the game.
Congratulations! Whoo! [chuckling]
And what about Todd?
[Ola] We don't know. No word yet.
But, you know, he's under the care of the best specialists.
Everything will be fine. Don't worry.
Magda, while we're talking,
this whole thing with Dawid… [exhaling]
Huh.
[Krzysztof] Because last year, you weren't using staples. That's why it…
-Moved? -[Krzysztof] Yeah.
Watch it.
[man] Ow! Oh no!
[man screaming]
[clattering, clanging]
[indistinct shouting]
[Irena] Aha!
-You're recording everything. -No.
You're a journalist, right? From some Warsaw newspaper.
-From a tabloid. -[Magda] No.
-You're looking for cheap sensationalism. -No.
What's going on here?
Don't worry. I'll talk to your father about it. Krzysztof!
But Dad knows everything.
Excuse me?
He agreed to let Magda record everything.
Yes. Uh, documentation for the next year for my own purposes.
Dad keeps saying how good Magda is at planning everything.
-She doesn't want to miss anything. -Right.
[slurping]
-Do you wanna go for a walk with us? -Sure. Where you going?
-There. -[Magda] Then let's go.
-See you, bye. -[Irena] Bye.
[funky music playing]
[truck blowing horn]
[Magda] Thank you.
-[Karol] Why do you need that video? -Oh, it's nothing.
[Karol] I know you work in television.
I looked you up when you applied for the room.
You're a big shot, aren't you?
I'm not a big shot today, but I can be again.
These videos are my chance. That's the most important thing to me now.
Like Tosia is for me?
Right.
I won't tell Dad, but you have to help me with Tosia.
[Trombone whining]
-We've got a deal? -Deal.

All right, but she will be your girlfriend.
Can I get some treats?
[Karol] Um, here.
[Magda] Thanks.
Stand there.
Like this.
Sit. Sit.
Good dog. Good.
Let go off the leash.
-And call him to you. -Trombone, come here! Come here.
Come on. Come on, Trombone!
Heel!
That's a good dog!
That's the way.
Trombone. Trombone!
-Speak! -[Trombone barking]
[Magda chuckling]
[Magda] Here you go. Call him again.
Come! Trombone!
[Magda chuckling]
[uplifting music playing]
You'll be in the Dachshund parade.
You'll impress Tosia so much, she'll totally fall for you.
-You just need to invite her. -That's what I'm afraid of.
[Krzysztof] What are you doing? Trombone.
Dad, I'm gonna be in the parade!
Would you like to help me with the opening speech? Yeah?
No. Karol and Trombone will perform together.
What is this about?
-Did you make a bet? -I wanna do something.
You know, you don't have to prove anything to anyone.
There'll be people who've worked with dogs for years,
and you're still young. Don't worry.
-Thanks for believing in me. -Come on. Trombone listens to him.
Karol knows what he's doing.
-I do? -It'll be great. You'll see.
-But he's… -"But he's" what?
[whimsical music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
[slurping]
[man] I don't wanna do it for personal reasons.
[woman] That's great.
[both] See you.
[man] Well…
Oh, w-what a cute dog.
[woman] Come on! Let it go!
Let it go!
-Bingo, let it go! He'll destroy it. -It's okay, ma'am. He's just playing
-Bingo! -Oh no!
-[Irena gasping] -[Magda chuckling]
[chew toys squeaking]
[dogs barking]
[Irena chuckling]
[Irena] Hmm.
[slurping]
-Oh no! -Oh my gosh!
[Krzysztof] Magda!
What are you still working on? The parade is almost ready.
I'm just double-checking.
Sounds like you.
Would you watch Trombone for me? I have to take Karol to Wiktor's.
They're going to a concert together, and Karol's spending the night over there.
The night or the whole week?
It's just breakfast and some snacks and stuff.
Breakfast?
Yeah, for tomorrow. Is that a yes?
-Not a problem. -Thanks. Karol!
-I can go by myself. -No, you can't.
Need a pillow!
What?
His pillow.
Karol, hurry up! Wiktor won't be waiting forever.
Come… Oh, need the pillow. Right.
[door closing]
[Krzysztof] Well, then…
[footsteps echoing]
[Krzysztof] Karol! Slow down!
Karolek! Slow down, please.
Do you wanna get yourself killed?
[whimsical music playing]
[Trombone panting]
[Krzysztof] Magda?
Did you know that you left the door open?
What?
Trombone!
Where is Trombone?
[both] Trombone!
[Krzysztof] Trombone!
Trombone!
[Krzysztof] Trombone!
Trombone!
Have you seen a dachshund with a little beard--
[man] No. No, we haven't. Sorry.
-I asked you to keep an eye on him! -I did keep an eye on him.
-Why didn't you close the door? -You didn't!
How can you get all the permits in one day and lose a dog in ten minutes?
Put down your phone! Do something useful!
I'm putting notices on forums, okay?
Forums-shmorums!
-[Magda] Wait up! -[Krzysztof] Trombone!
[Magda] Trombone!
[Krzysztof] Trombone!
[officer] Copy that?
I heard you.
Car accident involving a dog on Reymont Street.
-Excuse me! -Should I send an ambulance or a vet?
Where?
On Reymont Street.
[suspenseful music playing]
It's nice to see you, Albert. Again?
What seems to be the trouble?
[sighing heavily]
[ambulance siren wailing]
[dramatic music playing]
[both panting]
[indistinct chatter]
[Magda breathing heavily]
[dog panting]
Magda, breathe.
Sit down, sit down, sit down.
What's going on?
[Magda hyperventilating]
Dogs keep haunting me.
Since when?
Since forever.
When I was little, a dachshund bit me in front of other kids, and they laughed.
And since then, I have a feeling that dogs want to hurt me.
It turns out I'm the one hurting them.
You didn't hurt them. It was an accident.
I killed one. Or almost killed, who knows?
[Magda sobbing]
And now Trombone. I'm sorry!
[Magda crying]
I think you take too much on by yourself, Magda.
[sniffling]
I don't know another way.
That's an excuse. I'm a single father.
If I lived like you do, I would have gone crazy a while ago.
What am I supposed to do?
I don't know. I just think that sometimes you can accept what's going on
and stop struggling so much to be perfect.
-You really can't control everything. -And that's enough?
Well, no. Unfortunately, not.
You have to get on the Dębnicki Bridge, jump into the Vistula River
fish out a golden sword, kill a dragon with it.
Behind that dragon, there's a golden chest with the solution to all of your problems.
All right. Just forget about everything I just said
because I need you… to help me find Trombone, okay?
[cell phone chiming]
There's a Dachshund on the loose running around Jordan Park. Where is that?
This is Jordan Park!
Trombone!
[Magda] Trombone!
-Have you seen a dachshund-- -[man] No, sorry.
[Trombone barking]
Trombone!
[Trombone whining]
[Krzysztof] Trombone! Trombone!
What are you…
Where did you go? Oh my God!
Where were you, Trombone?
Where were you? Oh my.
Don't be afraid.
[Trombone whining]
Go ahead. Don't be scared.
Trombone, want to show Magda our special spot?
Come on.
And my doggie shall be clean. Who was dirty, but now is clean?
[Magda giggling]
Jesus, watch out!
[Magda laughing]
So he likes to swim? He won't drown?
No. He just comes in, comes out.
Comes in, comes out.
You have water…
CITY GUARD
[guard clearing throat]
Can't you see the sign?
Um, but we're not doing anything wrong.
[Trombone barking]
Same laws apply to dogs.
Do you know how many tickets I've issued for this?
For spitting and other things?
Just leave it.
But on the sign you pointed to, there's a person, not a dog, right?
No swimming means no swimming. I don't make this stuff up.
[Krzysztof] We're sorry. We didn't see.
Please, uh, write the ticket or whatever you have to do,
and I'll… I'll grab the dog, and we'll just go.
-[shushing] It's not a big deal. -No way. We're not paying.
Aha.
So you'd rather come down to the station?
[Krzysztof] Trombone!
[birds chirping]
You know you shouldn't pay that, right?
[sighing] I was trying to avoid trouble.
I was thinking about what you said about my sculpture.
[Trombone panting]
Maybe it really wasn't the worst start, after all.
Well, of course, it wasn't the worst.
Just in the future, if you take part in a competition,
maybe read the rules and guidelines first, okay?
Come on. I was short on time.
Someone recommended me, I started working right away.
I just misunderstood.
All right. So next time when you're in a situation like that,
let me read the rules and guidelines.
Um, I mean, next time we see each other, of course.
-Of course. -Because I am very good at contracts.
I wouldn't doubt it.
[indistinct chatter]
[uplifting music playing]
I got an offer to go to an internship…
[both] In Vienna.
How did you know?
Vienna. The city of artists, royal monarchy.
Congrats! Awesome. That's great!
So what are you waiting for?
I think for a sign that I still can do it.
You know what?
Somebody once told me that you can't control everything in life.
So, sometimes you just have to let go and stop struggling so much to be perfect.
-Some kind of know-it-all? -No. He's worse.
Probably from Kraków.
Unfortunately, yes.
[Krzysztof laughing]
♪ If I had known ♪
[Krzysztof] Final touches.
You are now a co-creator of the Kraków duck.
-Amazing. -It'll be ready pretty soon.
[Magda] I'm so hungry.
It'll be ready in about three hours.
Do you know the secret of great cooking?
It's patience.
It's not for me.
Don't you have some traditional Kraków recipe
that can be made in about 15 seconds?
Excuse me, please.
You've been waiting for all of 15 seconds
with the greatest patience that I have ever seen you muster.
[Magda] It's my specialty.
[romantic music playing]
[sighing] Okay, Krzysztof.
Sometimes,
but only sometimes…
it's fun not to be in a hurry.
Do you honestly never slow down?
You've never been to a yoga class in the forest with no phone?
Isn't the slow life popular in Warsaw now?
You know, I never had the chance. Always in a hurry.
Well then, let me invite you to a course, a crash course.
What? No.
You're sitting on a balcony, you take a sip of wine…
and you look at Kraków.
[romantic music playing]
You're making fun of me, but really my job is my whole life.
I have nothing else.
If I don't have a goal, then I feel like I'm not here and…
nobody needs me.
But you're right.
It's good to take a look at everything from a different perspective.
I wanna show you something.
Come.
[scoffing] Don't be scared.
Is it finished?
Yes.
I think…
I think so?
What are you…
May I?

There's a glow around you.
A halo all around.
Looks like you're in love!
Excuse me?
[Zygmunt] Listen. We can argue about the pure idea of love,
but it cannot be disguised.
What are you planning for today?
I have to plan something?
You know, there's always some madness in love.
And in the madness, there's always some reason.
That's why I never lose hope.

[Wiktor] Magda!
Magda, Magda!
[whimsical music playing]
What are you wearing?
Nice pajamas.
Uh,
thank you.
Karol would really like to go rehearse.
He was talking about it all night last night.
Mm. All right. So I'll get dressed.
Magda.
You have to be careful.
He hasn't seen anyone in a long time, and he likes you.
Or we'll have to sit down and have a serious talk, young lady.
[Magda chuckling]
All right. Just give me a second.
[indistinct chatter]
-Good morning. -[woman] Good morning.
[Dorota] Oh, good morning!
[Dorota chuckling]
Hey. Can I get you something?
-I need a bouquet. -Yeah. What kind?
Like, something…
Warsaw style.
What is that?
[Karol] Trombone! Trombone!
Try to focus. One more time.
Trombone! Trombone!
Come on.
Trombone is jumping on you because he's happy.
If you turn your back on him, you'll show you're indifferent.
It'll be easier for him to calm down.
[Karol] Trombone!
This is pointless.
Why, Karol?
Everyone will be staring at me, and Tosia will be there too.
You invited her?
And so? Are you worried about it?
No, but I'll never be the best act in the parade.
There's still time to practice.
And I'll be there with you during your show.
-Promise? -Promise.
So? One more time?
Then go ahead, call him.
Trombone! Trombone!
Oh! Beautiful!
Hello.
Hello. I see you recognize me.
Don't worry. I'm here in a private capacity.
-Excuse me? -Dawid.
Krzysztof. You're here visiting…
-To see Magda. -How do you know her?
Uh,
Well, I mean, I am her fiancé.
-Oh. -Yeah.
Well, you should come in.
[Dawid breathing deeply]
[Dawid clearing throat]
So she didn't mention me?
-[Krzysztof] Mm-mm. -[Dawid] Ah.
So like Magda.
[Dawid chuckling]
[dramatic music playing]
Your wife?
Hmm. She's dead.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
[door opening]
[door closing]
-What are you doing here? -I had to come see you, Muffin.
-Don't call me "muffin." -We'll leave you alone. Come on, Karol.
-No, Krzysztof. Wait. -Thanks, my man.
[Magda sighing]
-I have really missed you. -[door closing]
How'd you even find me?
You know I know all your passwords.
I saw that you made a reservation, so I came, Muffin.
Stop calling me that.
[sighing] This is a nice place.
Nice. Very nice.
You know, you've done it again, Magda.
Everyone at the station is talking about you.
Even Zula, she never stops talking about you,
and I can't stop thinking about you.
I did something stupid.
Let's not talk about it.
Ah.
These are for you.
Truthfully, I got scared.
I got scared of my feelings for me… [chuckling nervously] …for you.
Of whether I could make it on my own in TV.
And you… you, Magda, have always had my back.
I got lost without you.
Didn't you say there's no place for me in your schedule?
Well, now there is.
I mean,
there always was.
Don't give up on us so easily, Muffin.
All right.
Listen, Dawid.
I don't want to be with you. I don't like anything about you.
Go back to Warsaw and to your life, where there is no room for anyone,
absolutely anyone, other than yourself.
Come on, Muffin.
Leave. And don't call me "muffin." Now!
[dramatic music playing]
Are you sure, Magda?
[Magda] Mm-hmm.
Okay.
I-is that you?
Yes. [chuckling nervously]
Can I say you look even better in person than on television?
Let me invite you for tea. Please, I insist.
I think we can help each other out.
You know that last time I caught your show,
you were dressed like a woman?
[contemplative music playing]
[phone line ringing]
Pick up the phone.
[Trombone whining]
[Magda] You wanna go outside?
It's okay.
Come on.
[phone line ringing]
[door closing]
[Irena humming]
There.
Why do you have their keys?
Haven't you ever watered the plants for your neighbor?
-Uh, no. -[Irena] Hmm.
[keyboard clacking]
MGROT LOG IN
[snaps fingers]
[Irena] Hmm.
[Dawid cackling]
SEND TO EXTERNAL DRIVE
COPYING
[snaps fingers]
[Dawid exhaling]
How do I look?
-Hmm? -Seriously?
[Karol] Dad, can I?
-Go ahead. -[Karol] Yes!
[cell phone ringing]
Look. Look who's calling.
He should answer her call.
I would let him think about it.
[phone line ringing]
[contemplative music playing]
[Trombone whining]
[Magda shushing]
[Trombone whining]
-[glass breaking] -[cell phone ringing]
-Karol! -[hammer banging]
She'll hang up soon. He should pick it up.
[siren wailing]
You're not thinking logically.
The girl lied to him.
Ergo, it's logical to think she'll lie to him again.
We don't know the entire situation
because someone here was afraid to pick up the telephone.
[Zygmunt] Even Epicurus claimed
that happiness is the absence of suffering.
Absence of suffering, falling for someone--
Falling for someone blindly?
What happened to your famous hope philosophy?
He should be avoiding suffering at all cost, no matter what.
"You really wanna live like that? Be a mindless, heartless being?"
"Do you want to experience death before death?"
Get out of here with that Bukowski nonsense.
You're gonna make me angry.
You're behaving like children, or maybe worse.
I'm sorry.
Well. All right, then.
Listen, all of this doesn't really matter.
We know that you really like Magda,
and you should go out there and fight for her!
I agree. But you have to fight for her like I do for Tosia.
Maybe if she was actually single.
It is what it is. Whatever will be, will be.
Your philosophy of taking it slow is all well and good,
but, in this case, completely ineffective!
-Easy for you to say! -Actually, it's not easy for me to say.
You know how my relationships end.
I would really like to meet a guy
that will finally show up and fight for me.
And in the meantime, I see…
When I look at you, I realize there are no guys out there in the world like this.
If you don't want to fight for her for you, then think about Karol!
He really likes her and needs her in his life.
Yeah.
-[indistinct chatter] -[phone line ringing]
[somber music playing]
[sniffling]
[bell tolling]
[birds wings fluttering]
Come on! I'm sure she had her reasons.
You should trust her.
Well, how do you know? You have some secret information?
-Irena, if this is another trick-- -Quiet.
Come on. Come with me.
[TV show theme music]
Karol, come on.
Welcome to Thirty Floors Up,
or the best morning show on TV from the city of Warsaw.
Beautiful sights, beautiful people, beautiful topics,.
beautiful life, though it's not always easy.
Ola?
[Ola] Thank you, Dawid.
Let us introduce a special story from our sister city, Kraków.
What is happening now in this beautiful city?
-Kraków, the city of monarchs. -Royalty.
Rulers and bagels, artists and the Wawel Dragon.
It's in this university city,
the homeland of The Cellar Under the Rams,
every year, people organize a Dachshund Parade.
Although the word "organize" seems a little too grand for this event.
[anchor] The organizers of the parade made it their mission
to test the endurance of it's participants.
If it were the dachshunds organizing their own parade,
they would have surely done it better.
We cannot ignore the tail…
In Kraków, people say that the organizers of the parade
went through rigorous fitness tests, but forgot to include the IQ tests.
-Dachshund Parade? -More like a "Doggie-Downer parade."
[both laughing]
[Dawid] These poor animals. This should be allowed.
[TV show theme music playing]
[TV clicks off]
That's not my story.
Oh no? Well, we would love to hear it.
What's your story?
That you're not a journalist or that you didn't record that footage?
-I recorded it, but-- -I thought you liked us.
I like you both very much.
If you like us so much, pack your things and go back to Warsaw.
Come on. Let's finish breakfast. Um, you want something for the road?
[Irena grunting]

Guys, go ahead and get started.

Wiktor, do something.
What is this supposed to be? What is that?
Everyone, more please. That was nice. One more, please.
All right.
It's okay. It'll be all right.

Trombone.

Come, come.
Trombone.

[Wiktor barking]
-Why are you hiding? -I don't think I can do it.
What do you mean you can't do it? I'm sure everything will be fine.
It's my turn soon. I have to quit. Nobody's gonna notice.
Come on. There's no quitting when you're so close.
It's too late.
Everything will be all right. We just need a little more time. Okay?
[Karol] Mm-hmm.
Trombone! [barking]
[door opening]
There you are. Welcome. Sit down.
Hello.
Everyone, first order of business.
The story about the organization of the Dachshund Parade,
it was a fantastic story.
Viewership and traffic on social media profiles went up almost twofold.
-Dawid. -Thank you.
Clear out your office. You don't work here anymore.
[Dawid] Excuse me?
-It wasn't your story and we all know it. -But I…
-Goodbye. -[Dawid] But…
Okay.
[man coughing]
[lively music playing]
And second, Magda!
You did a great job.
You went there alone, with no support, and you delivered.
And I admit I got carried away.
There is no better candidate for this position than you.
Welcome back.
At the next line-up meeting, we'll announce that you're replacing me.
[cell phone vibrating]
Excuse me.
Um, Todd made it, so don't worry.
Everything is all right.
I've sent him to get better
at a doggie healthcare resort in southern Tyrol.
-[cell phone vibrating] -You take that call. Take it. It's okay.
Hello, Magda? Can you hear me?
[Magda] Wiktor, speak louder.
I can't talk louder. There's a huge crowd of people here.
This is about Karol. He wants to quit the show.
What?
[Wiktor] I was trying to help him feel better, but I made it worse.
And, you know, he says that he definitely won't do well,
and it's all pointless.
Even Trombone is acting strange. He won't listen to anyone, Magda!
Have you tried maybe--
[Wiktor] Listen to me. The point I'm trying to make
is that they really need you, Magda.
Need you back!
And there's still one more issue you need to deal with.
Magda, are you coming back?
[Wiktor] Listen.
One second.
[Wiktor] Krzysztof is leaving Kraków.
Are you joining us?
-[Wiktor] Hello? Are you there? -Okay.
Uh…
I'm not joining you. I'm resigning.
Pardon me?
Good luck.

It's a clear sign that we're nearing the end.
We'll announce the results in a moment. The prize--
Before we announce the results of the dog show,
we've got, uh, one more short, uh, musical break for you.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd joining singing]
[crowd cheering]
Everyone, before we finish the show,
there is one more Kraków local
and a performance by Karol and his dog, Trombone!
-[crowd cheering] -[lively music playing]
[Wiktor] Karol and Trombone, please join us!
Come on. Come on.
Karol.
You have to let him do this.
Come.
Trombone, come on.
[crowd laughing]
Really? Is that enough humiliation?
I'm stopping this.
Karol is fighting for what he wants. You will not mess it up for him.
[Karol] Sit.
Karol!
Sit.
That's good.
[crowd cheering]
-I promised I'd be here. -I know.
Come on, Trombone. Come. Yes!
-Bark! Bark! -[Trombone barking]
-Paw! Good dog! -[Trombone barking]
[Karol] Trombone.
[crowd cheering]
[Karol] Ta-da!
[crowd cheering]
-Good show. Is that your Dachshund? -Yes. It's Trombone.
And this is Tuba. Maybe you could you teach me a few of your tricks?
Want to set a date at school?
As soon as I get back. I'm going on a trip with my dad.
Okay. I could wait.
That was super-duper, mega professional!
Magda was right. It wasn't hard to do that.
You were amazing. Congratulations.
I am very proud of you, and I'm sorry I doubted you.
[uplifting music playing]
-Maybe you can introduce me now? -[Karol] Dad, no!
I'm Tosia. It's nice to meet you.
Krzysztof, the dad. And this is Wiktor.
-Nice to meet you too. -Nice to meet you, Madam.
Not the dad.
So you later, then.
Come on, Tuba.
"It's a date, then"?
Bravo!
You did great, boy.
Wiktor.
You were right. Thank you.
We gotta catch a train. Come on.
Anatol?
-Yes. -[Wiktor] Hi.
-I'm Wiktor. -How's it going?
Magda said that I am to take care of you.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah?
Uh, you know what? I'm giving a concert in Kazimierz.
Maybe you could join me? Sung poetry.
Huh.
Only if you can bring your guitar with you.
Just wait.
I acted like an idiot.
I mean, I acted like I always have.
[contemplative music playing]
Since I got here, everything in my life completely changed.
And…
I was always in such a hurry up to this point.
But it was really empty
without you.
[Magda crying]
I'm sorry.
Don't leave.
Why don't you come with us? We can spend the weekend together.
What do you mean "weekend"?
Wiktor said you were leaving for a year.
A year? [chuckling]
That must have been his plan from the beginning.
No. We're just going for the interview, for now.
Then we'll see what happens.
That said…
Would you spend this weekend with me?
And then all the weekends.
I thought you liked taking everything slowly.
Not everything.
Turn around.
[Trombone barking]
[Krzysztof] We have to go now.
Come.
-Where are your things? -This is all I have.
All right. Let's go.
[Magda laughing]
[Krzysztof] Can we get in with the dog? Great.
