FATHER
Five thousand and three.
MOTHER
Is that all?
FATHER
Yes, five thousand and three zlotys, that's all we've got left.
It's three thousand and three zlotys too much,
[Reading from newspaper)
'Re: Further restrictions regarding liquid assets: Jews will be allowed to keep a maximum of two thousand zlotys in their homes.'
MOTHER
What are we supposed to do with the rest?
Deposit it in a bank. Blocked account.
HENRYK
Banks? Who'd be stupid enough to deposit money in a German bank?
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?
FATHER
Idiot! What would they want with a table?
MOTHER
What on earth are you doing?
