Financial Strain in Difficult Times
FATHER
Five thousand and three.
MOTHER
Is that all?
FATHER
Yes, five thousand and three zlotys, that's all we've got left.
REGINA
It's three thousand and three zlotys too much,
MOTHER
What are we supposed to do with the rest?
HALINA
Deposit it in a bank. Blocked account.
HENRYK
Banks? Who'd be stupid enough to deposit money in a German bank?
HALINA
We could hide the money. Look here. Can hide the money in flowerpot.
FATHER
No, no, no. I'll tell you what we'll do. We'll use tried and tested methods. You know what we did in the last war? We made a hole in the table leg and we hid the money in there.
HENRYK
And suppose they take the table away?
MOTHER
What d'you mean, take the table away?
HENRYK
The Germans go into Jewish homes and they just take what they want, furniture, valuables, anything.
MOTHER
Do they?

Idiot! What would they want with a table?
MOTHER
What on earth are you doing?

A Family Gathering and Unexpected Guests
MOTHER
Good, they're here. Yitzchak Heller's been waiting for you, Henryk.
HENRYK
What's this about?
MOTHER
Sit down, have tea, I'll start lunch when the girls get back.
HENRYK
So, what are you doing here?
FATHER
He brought cakes. His father's back in the jewellery business and doing well, isn't that so, Yitzchak? Amazing. Jewellery.
HELLER
We're recruiting.
HENRYK
Who's recruiting?
HELLER
Don't be clever with me, Henryk. I've come here as a friend. They're bringing Jews in from all over the country. Soon there'll be half a million people in the ghetto. We need more Jewish police...
HENRYK
Oh? More Jewish police? You mean you want me to wear a cap like yours, beat up Jews with my truncheon and catch the Gestapo spirit. I see!
HELLER
Someone's got to do it, Henryk.
HENRYK
But why me? I thought you only recruited boys with rich fathers. Look at my father, look at us, I mean...
HELLER
Yes, I'm looking at you and that's why I'm here. Your whole family can have a better life. You want to go on struggling for survival, selling books on the street?
HENRYK
Yes, please.
HELLER
I'm doing you people a favour. And what about you, Wladek? You're a great pianist. And we've got an excellent police jazz band. They'd welcome you with open arms. Join us. You've got no work!
SZPILMAN
Thank you. But I've got work.
