Scene 1.
[Tomczak’s office.]
KACZMAREK. Get the gun. [To THE MOTHER:] He’ll be with you shortly.
TOMCZAK. [To Spin-doctors:] Does anyone else remember the explosion? I don’t fucking
remember an explosion.
TOMCZAK. You misremembered? He misremembered, everybody. Well, fuck it. Then all is
forgiven. Everyone, say it with me…
TOMCZAK. Jesus Christ. What am I? I fucking octopus? I wish an octopus. I nice fucking piece
of calamari because you all want to fuck with me. Stick me up your cunts so I wiggle around
and make you come. Well, whose going to make me come!? I want to fucking come!
[A BUREAUCRAT brings TOMCZAK a lit cigar. While TOMCZAK speaks, he uses the spin-
doctor’s corpse as an ashtray.]
TOMCZAK. When Jesus Christ rose from the dead, you know what he wanted? He wanted to
fuck Mary and smoke a cigar. But this is the thing, and please, Kaczmarek, correct me if I’m
wrong. We run a good administration.
KACZMAREK. Vaguely.

TOMCZAK. You’re a cunt. I can’t decide if I should shoot you or fuck you.
KACZMAREK. You don’t need to fuck it, you need to kiss it.
TOMCZAK. Madam, let me tell you something. Do you think your government works?
MOTHER. …Yes…
TOMCZAK. This is what I was trying to say. Jankowski, what was I trying to say?
TOMCZAK. Everything’s perfect. Biatłopol is the greatest town in the smaller southern-
eastern region / excluding
TOMCZAK. I’m the fucking mayor. I’m paid to monologue. Anyway, the best town… excluding
the east embankment, Novograd, Gorskova, Volshkaya, Yurivgrad, Kirovsk, Svetlova,
Dniprova, Gomelovo, Borovsk, Lutskaya, and Krasnogor. Besides those, we are the best.
Agree?

TOMCZAK. And this is why our friend here was demoted to a fucking ashtray. Who here
wants to be the next ashtray? So get fucking spinning.
[The MOTHER walks with TOMCZAK. JANKOWSKI and KACZMAREK in tow. The stage
configuration changes.]
MOTHER. …
TOMCZAK. You know why I like babies? They’re free. They can shit whenever they want.
They’re hungry, they shit. You feed them, they shit. You throw them, they leave a behind a
string of shit. And do you know what I want? All I really want? A good long shit. I just want to
squat down and shit wherever I want. That is freedom.
TOMCZAK. Let’s kiss some babies. And don’t let it fucking shit on me.

[The town square.]
DĄBROWSKA. [To the townspeople:] You are people! People with hopes, dreams, and a
desire for change!
[Cheers.]
[Cheers.]
DĄBROWSKA. [To the townspeople:] Men got us into this mess. Women will get us out! [To
her campaign deputy, Marcin:] Isn’t that right, Marcin?

DĄBROWSKA. Cunt.
KOWALSKI. Ladies of Biatłopol, I have a simple question. Who has the biggest cock in
Biatłopol!?
KOWALSKI. Me!
KOWALSKI. I will only fuck over the women. But I am candidate that delivers. For the
gentlemen, I refer you to Dąbrowski. We will fuck you all! And you’ll fucking love it!
TOMCZAK. Ladies! Gentlemen of Biatłopol. Your cries have reached my concerned ears. See
how concerned I look – am. How concerned I am.
KOWALSKI. And what of the explosion? Are you ignoring the death of twelve people and a
cat?
DĄBROWSKA. The poor cat! Does no one think about the cat?!
TOMCZAK. There is hardly a mother. This is a motherless child! This child is an orphan! Why, I
remember walking by the orphanage every day just to see this baby on the swing outside in
the snow. And all I could think of was; how lucky this baby is to live in Biatłopol orphanage
and swing on the Biatłopol swing. And sing our beloved Biatłopol townsong in his beautiful
tenor…

TOWNSPEOPLE. Bigot! Bigot!
TOMCZAK. [While kissing THE BABY:] Oh, you poor orphaned baby with no cock or pussy.
TOMCZAK. [With arms outstretched, gun in the one hand.] In our lovely Biatłopol, there will
be no more deaths!

Scene 4.
DĄBROWSKA. You’re a useless piece of shit. Are you a fucking man or a woman?
MARCIN. Neither.
DĄBROWSKA. This is what’s wrong with society. What the fuck happened? You either have a
cock or a cunt?
DĄBROWSKA. [To a Technocrat:] You, find out if Marcin has a cock or a cunt. This is the
problem with society today. People can’t make rational decisions.
DĄBROWSKA. If I could grow a cock out of my cunt myself, I could fuck myself and win this
fucking election.
MOTHER. Yes.
[A Technocrat comes back with a large chest with a hole at the top.]

DĄBROWSKA. Oh, how I miss you. [She caresses the chest.] You (the chest) must be hungry.
DĄBROWSKA. I love the people of this town. Even this… [to MOTHER] Who are you again?
MOTHER. My name is –
DAB. Exactly. This is the type of person the people of this town should strive to be.
MOTHER. But -
DĄBROWSKA. Fuck him and fuck all of you! You know, if I had a cock, I’ll win this fucking
election fair and square.
[DAB takes a sausage and puts in the hole on the top of the chest. It slowly disappears.]
DAB. [To the chest:] That’s right. You like that don’t you?

DAB. I’m married to my career.
MARCIN. To a man.
TECHNOCRAT. Marcin.
MOTHER. [Very quickly.] Please, if I can just talk to you. You may be our next mayor and I just
need a place to stay. My baby died. Now he’s all I have left and we’ve nowhere to live and -

MOTHER. Yes. I…
KOWALSKI. Shhh. [Finger on her lips.] I hear you. Every word you say touches me. I am
moved every time you open your mouth. Why not just keep it open for me?
MOTHER. Sir, please. I’ll do anything you want, but I need to ask you a favour.
MOTHER. I lost everything in the explosion. My baby’s twin died. We lost our house. We lost
everything. I just need somewhere to stay. Please.
KOWALSKI. Babe… you’ve got a fucking sexy voice. You should go into politics.
GRZEGORZ. Thank you for coming, madam. Kowalski, we need to go over your strategy.
MOTHER. … Please.
MOTHER. Anything.
KOWALSKI. It’s just… It’s… hard… for me to help you… if you don’t help me.
[KOWALSKI takes the MOTHER by the hand and leads her to wall.]

MOTHER. My baby…
KOWALSKI. Kinky.
[SZCZEPAŃSKA squeals.]

DAB. Jesus Christ!!! –
DAB. I mean, o, Jesus Christ, my saviour, please help this man, who does not serve your
higher purpose, nor have the interests of our wonderful holy town at heart, speak so that
we – your humble servants – can continue to bring glory to your name in our holy
matrimony.
TOMCZAK. This marriage is a fraud! A fraud, I say. A sham! These people do not love each
other. He [points his finger at KOWALSKI.] is a con artist! An evil man that will take your
wives!
TOMCZAK. Yes, you do! A wonderful, doting wife who cares for your children who are both
innocent cherubs. I see them now – frolicking in the park. And your poor wife, who saved
herself until her wedding day for you. What of her!? This man will ravage her! Rape her! And
what will become of you? A cuckold, sir! Yes, sir, we all see it. You are being cuckolded! Have
you no pride!
DAB. [Pointing her finger at TOMCZAK.] I will fucking kill you if you don’t –
TOMCZAK. Witch! She is casting a spell even now! She is cursing this wonderful, peaceful,
God-fearing town. She is in cahoots.
TOMCZAK. Yes, the clutches of Satan run deep in this town. I fear for your soul, madam.
20
DAB. Jesus Christ.
TOMCZAK. It’s no use calling to our lord and saviour now! He cannot save you now!
