"Nevermind, he will be studying in my school." "He will not be going to school without me." "He used to go with me." "Oh, you should set up as a stoker to my school then." "Our stoker ran down anyway." "With the circus?" "With what circus?" "Again?" "Are you starting it again?" "I'm sick of this your circus." "How long will it last?" "It's all the same, again and again and again." "Don't start it." "I'm not going to work as a stoker." "A am a driver." "How about an... off-hour work?" "You have nothing to carry whatever."

"We used to have a church, where people prayed not to God, but to one tractor-driver." "To Normulyov Sergey Aleksandrovich." "Sometimes he was coming out of the river on his white tractor and working miracles." "People had just close their eyes and make a wish." "And it certainly came true." "She was a test pilot."

"I have promised to the children a sports field." "Ah, go to hell." "Bastard." "Here it is, my darling, my little idea." "We'll sluice it with water from a hose an it will be as new." "Remember, Mishka, steam locomotive is a cultural and historical value, it is protected by the state... but badly." "You must understand, these are hundreds of miles of godforsaken villages." "There is no forests and winter is coming." "What will they stoke?" "Nobody had ridden on this branch line for almost ten years." "We'll be back in a week."

"The man crawled from there last year." "Manager of the chapiteau circus." "He fell behind the troupe." "He was walking a whole year." "And the circus disappeared."

"It's a bribe, Pasha, a bribe..." "Coal, children, is growing ripe in the ground." "Millions of years." "And the miners extract it from specific holes and stack enormous mountains of it." "Therefore, the miners have black skin forever." "Both coal and bread." "I think that children should work." "If they haven't learned to work at school, then it's late." "Ah, for all that, idea is the great power." "Wait..." "Such a steam locomotive will flatten any way." "Here we go!" "[singing the song about soviet space explorers]" "She was an emergency physician." "Do you know, Mishka, that ambulance cars has red crosses?" "Suddenly, a conflagration in the distant forest and about a hundred tourists in this forest." "She was off to rescue them, to take them out." "She taken out about a 78 people." "And then the wind, fire is around." "Her hair and clothes caught fire." "Her skin has crackled, heat..." "She wants to breathe, but there is nothing to." "Lungs like a bubble, pop." "Maybe she would survived, but lungs like a bubble..." "If only the rails were intact..." "Otherwise, they could disassembled them." "Right?" "They could not." "It is a pump, Mishka." "It pumps water from a reserve tank to the boiler." "This pump was presented to us by our city fire department." "Freeze!" "I say freeze!" "Well, all in order, all according to plan, there, look, here is Elevator, here is Ordyn and here is Hutoryata." "Hutoryata is precisely couldn't disappear." "This is a big village." "I've been there once, in my childhood." "Further is Kladovaya and Zvillinga..." "take your hands off and don't crumple the map." "Zvillinga ant there is Krainyaya." "The road is longer, less coal will remain." "What will we trade?" "Don't economize, new life begins." "They're gone." "With the houses?" "How about whistle a bit?" "Elevator" "There is a work - burning of the empty villages." "Work for an artel." "Artel walks along the roads and burns dead villages, towns, crumbles everything to a chernozem, so the earth becomes cleaner." "With no memory of the past times, folks." "Come in, dear guests." "Your father and I, Miska, are teamwise since the childhood." "Thick as thieves, really." "To the mountains, to the forest, to the sea..." "The sea, Mishka, is like a steppe - neither the end nor the edge, only it's a very very blue." "Let's swim..." "Hi guys, where are you going?" "And who the hell are you?" "Ah, yes, yes..." "What are you carrying?" "What do we carry?" "We are carrying coal." "Fine, I can take everything, but I'm saying at once - I have no money, no money." "I can offer a sawmill: new, in boxes, unopened." "How about this?" "No?" "Ah, I can offer an elephant, truly, guys, buy an elephant." "An elephant?" "And where is your elephant?" "An elephant?" "It's there, in the gulch." "And why dow we need an elephant?" "There's a Mosin rifle and a box, a box of ammo." "And if you want, we can exchange a steam locomotive..." "Aaahhh?" "OK, guys, got it, see you later." "Hey, guys, buy an elephant, buy an elephant, guys, buy an elephant!" "Well, I told you, there are people..." "Do you know, Mishka, there is a road which drivers are afraid of." "If at least one wheel gets at it, you will never be able to move out of it." "So you go in a straight line until the gas tank will be clinking of emptiness." "Comrades, comrades, help me out, tractor died out, yank it, I have the rope." "Friend, friend, let's yank it." "I need to get to a lake." "It's not far from here." "Is your tractor running on the coal?" "What are you talking about?" "This is a tractor, K-700." "It's running on the diesel fuel." "Well, that's all, thus we have no time." "Friend, let's yank it now then." "We are in a hurry, tractor-driver." "In a hurry, there is no time." "OK, we'll help." "This is for you." ""Ah, you, Vasya, dear, we're friends, last year we were moving back the tractor by our backs!"" "Comrades, thank you, bye!" "Do you think they need a coal?" "Maybe these are the villagers, who left the Elevator?" "Gypsies?" "So much time has passed..." "Hello, gypsy friend, we are selling coal, very good, rich coal." "30 rubles for a bag." "10 bags = discount." "Do you have batteries?" "No, only a coal." "Where do you wandering to?" "That way." "And why not this way?" "We already were there." "And what is there?" "Eh..." "Listen, why to buy, why to sell..." "let's play." "There are no fools to play with the gypsies." "Well, then give me a coal... or let's fight!" "Oh, yeah, sure." "He wouldn't fight one on one." "Let's fight, he said, all we are and all you are..." "What kind of fight is it?" "It's good that they have exhausted to quickly unload a coal." "They took away only 1/3 of all coal." "Yeah, that's how we were trading the coal, goddammit." "We had to play." "We had to buy the rifle." "What a gun?" "There was nothing." "And why would we need it, we were trading coal, not a gold." " 40." " 5." " 39." " 6." " 30." " 10." " 20." " 15." "20." "Cause I'm giving you a box of ammo in addition." "Zincous." "Then 16." "19, this rifle is brand new." "17 bags and that's all." "OK." "I can take the steam locomotive if you want." " The steam locomotive?" "But I don't have money." "And what have you got?" "Sawmil and an elephant." "Where is an elephant?" "In the gulch." "I don't need an elephant." "As you want, I sell it to somebody else." "Many people are riding here." "Four, or even five per year." "These are not the stars, Mishka, these are the meteors." "Meteors are the flashes in the upper atmosphere, caused by the invasion of solid cosmic particles to it." "Just imagine, they fly with cosmic speed - 12 kilometers per second - and burn away, and it's pointless to make wishes." "They won't come true anyway." "Why are you awake?" "Are you yearning?" "Do you remember your mother?" "Bitch..." "Mishka, cut it." "I had told you before the wedding - don't get married, and I had told you after the wedding... don't get married." "Don't get married, don't get married, don't get married, I was telling you you, I was..." "We are still having plenty of coal." "We'll ride some more." "Miska should study." "Ah, we'll teach him ourselves." "And now, Mishka, we will be learning history." "History of our edge." "Since ancient times people lived here, they trampled the whole steppe, rammed it." "If an archeologist will dig anywhere in this steppe he will find a curved scythian knife or, maybe, a sarmatian helmet, or rotten Khazarian bast shoe." "Now people have weaned from steppe, but formerly it was their home." "Now archeologists are finding whole cities in steppe in which people lived afore." "Thousands of people." "And coal was needed to all of them." "And the hooch." "The enemy, Mishka, always should be in the arc of fire." "Do you have first aid kit?" "Nope, coal only." "Maybe you have remedy against midges?" "Are we looking like a shop or something to you?" "That's bad." "Have you seen a large, thick, curly men?" "We a searching for him about two years already." "No, we haven't seen nobody like this." "He is entomologist." "He examines the beetles." "Who will find him - will be rewarded, reward is one million dollars." "In cash." "Or in non-cash payment." "We don't leave our friends in trouble." "Therefore, the miners have black skin forever and the coal is their bread." "Ordyn" "I was telling you." "How do I live?" "I live well." "Chickens, a cow, a kitchen-garden..." "I castrated a piglet yesterday." "Only repairmen wasn't sent for a long time." "And the rails no longer shine." "Everything else doesn't matter." "Is there any villages further?" "And whither can they disappear?" "Steppe approaches, of course." "We'll bulk you some coal." "I have everything I need already." "And we'll bulk you some anyway." "I'll tell you about the steppe." "The steppe is when there is only grass and no trees, no hills, no mountains, nothing." "Here it is." "And we have MANY steppes." "So many, that we'll neither ride nor walk around them for all our years." "But our land has the edge though." "Maybe another lands don't have edges, but our land has." "And it's neither a precipice, nor the sea, but the red unknown throat." "Do you understan me, Mishka?" "We reached the village on the third day." "I was right nonetheless." "Khutoryata." "We'll be taking everything." "If we'll not sell somewhat, it'll be useful for school." "What do you have here?" "Lenin?" "One bag." "Move along, Ilyich." "Chair?" "One bag." "This is not enough." "Give me two." "Not enough?" "Not enough?" "All according to the price-list." "One more bag would be great." "Go away." "Finger ring." "Two bags." "Not enough, my dear." "OK, three bags." "I said, three." "Three is not enough, is it possible to deal according to the price-list?" "Must not." "Negros per five bags." "It's not a Negro, it's a Moor." "Moors per four." "But it's a rarity!" "No matter, I said four!" "Get out of here!" "According to the price-list." "What the hell is the moral law within?" "And where can it be, if not within?" "Nowhere." "If it would be inside, then outside it wouldn't be needed." "How come it wouldn't be needed?" "What are the dreams for, if they don't come true?" "What are the stars above us for?" "Above us are lanterns, and birds, and flies." "And I say, that a law exists." "It exists, and it's within us." "Cloudlet, my little Cloudlet." "Maybe this law exists, but it doesn't work." "You owe me 19 bags." "What is your name?" "Louise." "For you, Louise, 20 bags." "No, 21." "And give some more to the little kid." " OK." "Here it is - a real capitalism." "Let's go." "We have to get up early tomorrow." "We need to ride." "Whither?" "Coal sells well." "We need to ride." "Tractor-driver nicknamed "Strength" lived in our village." "And once, in July, he had a dream about a broad." "Greeneyed, rosy, kind." "She said: "Come to me in the grove behind the field."" ""Who are you?" "Strength" asked." ""I am the love." the broad said." ""And I have chosen you, because you are the strongest man on the Earth and a new life will be born from us."" ""Come, I'll be waiting."" "Whoa, stand still!" "The next morning "Strength" went into the grove." "He came to the grove, and there was a woman from a dream, and there were no clothes on her." "She is standing naked, covering herself with the grass," ""Strength" has laid down beside her and forgot about everything in the world." ""Strength" didn't tell anyone about the grove, but since then he thought only about his beloved one." "Beware!" "And the next year the locust overcame our village, there were no such things before." "And "Strength" started to ride the fields and shower the locust by chemistry." "And her beloved was walking towards him:" ""Halt, what are you doing?"" ""I'm eradicating the locust, all our brigade erdicates it."" "Let the other eradicate, you must not." "It's a sin." "They are the kin of yours." "Take me away from here." "Will you?" "[singing kind of nostalgic song about school years, which can not be returned back and which are impossible to forget]" " Will you?" "Will you?" " Hush, hush." "Maybe you'll stay?" "What's your name?" "I'm Dashka, she's Sashka." "And what's your name?" "Maybe you'll stay?" "Maybe you'll stay?" "Will you buy me a dress?" "A green one." "Ten dresses." "And how about earrings?" "You're going to rake them by your hands." "And how about a car?" "Is this steam locomotive is not enough for you?" "Come on." " Nope." "Come on." "So, next: carpets - 7 pcs., chairs - 15 pcs., tables - 3 pcs., Moor - 1 pc." "Where did he get it?" "Ring with a gem." "Cloudlet, Cloudlet, Cloudlet... bitch!" "Chickens - 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7!" "Jars of hooch - 79..." "Oh, WOW!" "So, one sewing machine, one book about housekeeping, accordion..." " Accordion is mine." "Yes, yes, I remember." "Men's underpants... where is it from?" "What the hell did they tout to us?" "What a people!" "Yeah, this is what our people like." "[reading an old soviet housekeeping book]" "After the accomplishment of intimate intercourse with the wife you have to let her go to the bathroom." "And when will we ride back to the town?" "Soon, soon..." "But you don't need to follow her." "Maybe now?" "Let her be alone, maybe she'll want to cry." "Maybe now?" "Nope." "Now it's a physical education lesson." " No." "Come here." " No." "Come here." " No." "I said come here, warm-up is starting, feet are shoulder width apart..." "She was a police officer, Mishka." "She was serving in the highway patrol." "They have these striped sticks, you know." "And there was a criminal." "He was driving Zhiguli (a.k.a Lada, russian make of vehicle)." "He was rushing, and she was walking towards him..." "Stop, stop!" "But he... smashed her." "She was flying 42 meters." "Maybe she would survived, but the tank battalion was returning from military exercises." "Stop muzzing the kid." "What if she comes back?" "She won't return." "What if she'll roll up." "Who needs her here?" "You need her." "What?" "Pasha, come out for a second." " 2 bags." " 4." " 2." " 4." "4?" "It's so old, it's peeling off." "I said 4." "If you want to ask something from God, then you need to cut off a part of yourself." "Finger or something else." "And desire will certainly come true."

" OK, give it to me." "Fooouuur..." "Take it away." "You don't know how to bargain." "3 bags for the jar of brine." "4 bags for the chicken." "Yeah, hens are rising in price." " Will someone else come?" " No one will come." "And what is ahead there?" "[words are illegible] Kladovaya." "Eight years old little girl is standing lonely and calling her mother childly." "Mists, fogs, how can I live without my mother?" "How can I live without my mother?" "I'm asking just about one thing." "Gray mists are walking across the field as if they don't hear words of the orphan." "Mists, fogs, give me back my mother, give me back my mother, I'm just asking about this one thing." "Do you get it, Mishka?" "You and me are like astronauts, we are discovering unknown lands." "Terrestrial lands." "Pioneers, goddammit." "Louise!" "Louise!" "We need to return." "Fry the chicken!" "You've already fressed all of your chickens." "I said fry the chicken!" "She seems fat." "I think she's normal." "And I say she's fat." "I gave her the ring with a gem, and she wears it on the finger, puts her hand forward, spreads out her fingers and twirls and twirls and twirls." "Shoot, shoot, just quietly." "We'll tell her that it has escaped." "Shoot the dog?" "The dog, of course, not me." "I can't shoot the dog." "How come you can't?" "You should be able to." "You should." "Shaggy bastard, it makes my life miserable." "That's all because of it." "And maybe we should do it to Louise too?" "Do what?" "Well, put her off on the way back." "Shoot, or it will tear me." "I'll fluff this way." "Is that better?" "Come, come closer." "OK, just imagine that it's a circus dog." "Front somersault, back somersault, hop, hop..." "A murrain on you!" "You should catch real criminals, not us." "There are so many of them." "What do we do?" "Let's take away their stuff." "And what should we do with them?" "Will we kill them?" "And we'll fress them." "And what about the broad?" "Will we kill and rape her?" "You are a fool, rape at first, then the murder..." "I told you the same." "Maybe they need to be tortured?" "And we'll fress them." "You better not even try this." "Lola, this is a robbery, we must be in character, what the robbers are we, zounds." "We are robbers by no means, let's work."
