[Dorcas comes into Andrea's room, carrying a sack of potatoes and two buckets]

Dorcas:
I got a job for you...

[They sit, peeling the potatoes]

Dorcas:
[indicating the two buckets] You put the peel in here, and the spuds in here. You have done this before, haven't you?

[Andrea looks bored. He purposely throws a peel into the spud bucket]

Dorcas:
No!

[She fishes the peel out]

Dorcas:
You put the peel in *here* and the *spuds* in here!

Andrea Marowski:
"Spuds"?

Dorcas:
Yes. Proper name's "potato," but we calls them "spuds".

[She holds up the potato she's been peeling]

Dorcas:
Potato. Potato!

Andrea Marowski:
Ah, "ziemniak".

Dorcas:
What?

Andrea Marowski:
[forcefully] "Ziemniak"!

Dorcas:
Right.

Andrea Marowski:
[speaks in Polish, subtitled] You look like a potato.

Dorcas:
What?

Andrea Marowski:
[speaks in Polish, subtitled] Actually, you look like a sack of potatoes.

Dorcas:
It's no good, I can't understand a word you's saying.

[He shows her his potato, into which he has cut two eyes and a mouth]

Dorcas:
And don't get artistic, just *peel* the blooming thing.
