Ladies in Lavender2004
[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.
