"The Wild Dog Dingo" "Directed by Yuli Karasik" "The girl sat by the sea and watched the running water with her eyes wide open." "She tried to imagine where from and where to the waves were running." "It was an ordinary day and an ordinary sea, and so were the rocks and the sky." "And nothing had happened." "So why did everything seem new to her?" "The sky, the waves." "She wanted to know where are they running to and why, she wanted to see those new lands, the other world." "She also wanted to be a geologist and sing a little too." "So she sang." "(Inaudible song.)" "Tanya!" "Haven't you heard the bugle?" " No." "You?" "I bathed and went on looking for you." "I heard you singing." "Let's sit a little, if you're not in a hurry." "Want some ant juice?" " No, I still remember your raw fish in the morning." " That's the other thing." "FilÕka, do you know anything about the wild dog Dingo?" "Dingo?" "Is that a breed?" "Where have you seen it?" "I haven't." "It lives in Australia." " Listen, what's in that dog for you?" "Wait.." "Gee, you became so brown, like your Fil'ka." "Mother is not here." "She went to the hospital, couldn't wait any longer." "We're alone." "Want some tea?" "Or something to eat?" "Tanya, come here!" "My father returned and gave me real draft dogs!" "It's impossible!" "That's an expensive gift." "He asks you to keep an eye on me, so I would go to school and not be an idler." "Learn well." "Come visit us when the first snow falls." " In nomad camp." "I will." "Does he always say goodbye this way?" " What way?" "We shake two hands only with a big friend." "You have a great father." " I love him when he doesn't fight." "Does he?" " Rarely, when he's drunk." "Doesn't your father fight?" " Never." "He never did." "You must love him, then." " I don't love him." "Why?" " I don't really know him." "is he dead?" "So where is he?" " Far away." "Maybe across the ocean." "America?" " Uh-huh." "America?" " D' you know where Algeria and Tunesia are?" "Sure, Africa." "So he's there?" "You know, there is a land Marosejka." "Marosejka?" "It must be beautiful." " He's there." "Hate him!" "There's no Marosejka!" "There're Morocco, french ex-colony, Mayorca island, and Marosejka is no island, no peninsula, no continent." "Why do you lie to me?" "I hurried home, missed yo so much!" "Did you read it?" "You must be glad, Tanya." "Do they come for long?" " Forever." "Father is being transferred here." "And that boy?" " He will be in your class." "Is he my brother?" " No, he's Nadezhda's nephew." "But he lives with them, and your dad loves him." "Your dad is a good and kind person." "I always told you that." " If he's good and kind why did he left us?" "We seemed to love each another." " You will grow up and understand." "Never!" "I will never understand this." "And I will never love anyone except you." "And we don't need anyone!" "How much?" "Here, in the shadow." "What happened?" " Got sick on the ship." "Malaria." "You've been crying?" "You've been crying." "No, just some boy throw sand in my eyes." "You've been crying?" "Yes, you've been." "[indistinct chattering]" "Hello to you, the most wild of the wild dogs!" "Hello." "Who are you talking to?" " Him." "I haven't seen him all summer." "Guys, she's coming!" "Girls, she's coming!" "Good morning, children." " Hello!" "Sit down!" "Guys, today is a great occasion for us, we start learning again." "I'm glad to be with you again." "You all grew up, I got older, but we were always friends, weren't we?" "We have new pupils." "Your names, please." "Gagela-Gandlevsky." "And you?" " Borsch." "Take your seats, boys." "So let's begin." "I hope you learned a lot and forgot nothing during this summer." "Why are you sighing, Fil'ka?" "I woke up at sunset to write a letter to my friend, and put it aside, 'cos I forgot how to punctuate." "It's bad you forgot this." "Tanya, haven't you forgotten this?" "Tell us the rule." "If there is an address to a person, we need a coma or an exclamation mark." "Well, Tanya remembers the rule well." "Go to the desk." "Write an example with the address to someone." "'Hey comrad, don't be sad!" "'" "You seem to forget everything." "It's even not about comas, you write 'comrade' without 'E'." "But it's a verb!" " What verb?" "Why?" "Sure it's a verb." "You comrad, he comrads..." "You're so big." "I should've brought you flowers, not sweets." "It's unbelievable how our city has changed." "And here it's all the same." "Yes we keep it that way." "I will make some tea." "Pity you weren't on the pier." "But we got late, Kolya caught malaria and we had to wait for the orderlies." "You know he's going to go to your school, maybe even your class." "What is it, Tanya?" "Don't talk so loud, I can hear you very well." "I know you're angry with me." "I hope we can be friends." "Can we?" "Let's have some tea." "Do you want tea?" "That's the way you are." "It must be hard in your age." "Let's go drink your tea." "[indistinct chattering]" "Well done, Fil'ka!" "He's nice." " Who?" "Kolya." " He plays awfully." "I don't get it." "Is he your brother?" " No." "Cousin?" " Yes." "But you have the same name." "So cousin or just relative?" "Leave me alone." "Relative." " And you say cousin." "It's a difference!" "Fil'ka, wait!" " Leave me alone!" "Tanya, you hear that?" " Fil'ka, come hear." "You're bleeding." "Hurts?" "We're late." "Don't take this bandage off." "I'll change it tomorrow." "Tiger!" "'You've been crying?" "'" "Why so late?" "Haven't you got worms?" " Try get them." "It's not late, come on." "You got rods?" " Yeah." "What are you waiting?" " What about Kolya?" "Oh, Kolya." "We'll wait for him by the bridge." "Cossack!" "Why do you need the cat?" "Shh, Fil'ka, he knows well why we go fishing." "You found our place!" "I'm sorry." "I didn't know it was your place." " It's not a private property." "You threw him in the water on purpose, I saw!" "You're a coward!" "Tanya, believe me, he fell himself." "Let me through, I won't sit here anymore." "And don't follow me." "But will you come for dinner today?" "Dad will wait for you, he will say it's my fault." " So that's what you're afraid of." "No, you get it wrong." " I got it right, I won't come today." "I will never come to you." "Kolya, does she like cabbage pies?" "Don't know." "They make pies with bird cherry here." "We need to make one the next time." "Don't just stand." "Why only three plates?" " She.. she might be late." "Late?" "Why?" " Some hobby group at school." "A rehearsal or something." " But it's Sunday evening." "Kolya, go get her." " Can't be helped." "I told her." "And it will end late." "Dad, it's my fault." "I didn't want, it just..." "She will never come back." "You're still here?" "Aren't you going to your father's?" "Why?" "Why are you asking?" " Because it's indecent to make people wait for you." "Go change your shoes, these are improper." "Okay." "Hungry too?" "I didn't count on you." "You could perfectly eat at home!" "These dogs ate all my fish!" "And you?" "Aren't you going to your father's?" "Why you all keep bothering me?" "!" "I don't go anywhere." "I'll never go there again." " Did your father hurt you?" "You don't understand, Fil'ka." "I just can't stand Kolya anymore." "What did he do to you?" "And who is he to you, that you can hurt your father so easily?" "You're right!" "Who is he?" "And why do I care?" "This is my father!" "Tiger, come!" "Why do I care about him?" "I go to my father's." "Tanya, hello!" "Come in!" " Hello." "Tanya, that's great!" "Take you cloths off." " We started worrying." "Hello, Kolya." "You like bird berry pies?" "Kolya told me today, I will make it." "No, I don't like bird berry pies." "Kolya misunderstood." "We have dumplings today, me and Kolya made them." "Sit down please." "Kolya, entertain her, and I need you in the kitchen." "Why do you think they quarreled?" "Venerable seigniors, the dinner is served." "Come on, Tanya, take your seat." "Someone said that can't make it today for dinner?" "I didn't come for dinner." "No, I'm not hungry." "Tanya, what's that?" " No, thank you." "What about all these dumplings?" " I ate at home with mom." "Dad, don't ask her the third time, she just won't eat." "She won't if she doesn't want to." "But the dumplings are so good." "Dad, is that right that herrings are salty even at sea?" "Kolya says so, he doesn't believe in zoology." " What is it with you?" "You're confusing things today." " Yes, I don't believe in zoology." "What kind of science is it?" "The cat has four legs and a tail." "What do you like then?" " Math." "If two circumferences have one same dot etc." "And literature." " Oh, literature?" "'A donkey saw a nightingale'." "Maybe I should leave your plate?" " No-no, I just wanted to give some dumplings to the dog." "May I?" " Be my guest, give him the whole plate." "What happened, Tanya?" "What's your grief?" "Please tell me what's wrong." "Maybe I can help." "Tanya, what is it?" "[reciting Lermontov's 'Mtsyri' ('Novice')]" "That's enough, Kolya." "Kolya saw the place where Lermontov's duel took place." "Really?" "Interesting." "You've been to Pyatigorsk?" "Yeah, near mount Mashuk." " Have you seen the Lermontov's house?" "Very ordinary." "Hard to believe that he had seen the same mountains." "Ordinary too." "Grand?" " Not really." "I tried to think of them as of grand, but I just couldn't." "It's just mounains." "How can you say so?" "these are the mountains described by so many poets..." "Tanya, what are you thinking of?" "That the third time I address to you." "Why aren't you listening?" "Well?" "He is not interesting to listen to." "That's not true." "We're all listening to him with pleasure." "Have you been to Pyatigorsk?" "My parents didn't take me there." " You need to listen, then." "Why?" "Does it matter for our lesson?" " I get it." "You think of something else." "Would you share your thoughts with the class?" "There's dancing today at the club." "I think of dancing." "I don't believe it." "You think of something way different." "And I don't understand you." "She's in love with him!" "Belyakova!" " He pushed me!" "Bogarevsky?" " I didn't mean it." "You may sit down." " May I change the place?" "Is it uncomfortable for you to sit with Jenya?" "It's that tree." " I don't get it." "Sit where you like." "You may also sit down." " May I take her place?" "What is the matter with you all?" "Faster!" "Faster!" "Enough for today." "[Pupils stage Chekhov's 'The Jubilee'." "Their remarks are incorporated into Chekhov's text.]" "Your excellency, I'm principal secretary's wife Mrs. Merchutkina.' 'How?" "'" "'Merchutkina.' - 'What do you want?" "'" "'You see, Your Excellency, my husband' is spending his time dog-riding or skating." "With Fil'ka." " Cultivates temper." "What does it have to do with temper?" "Accept new members?" "First you should say hello, second we already asked you and you refused." "Third, if I'm not mistaken, you're already a member of a shooting circle." "Yes, and of astronomic too." "Why?" "You know what it's called?" "Dilettantism." " Right." "Wait." "Will you read a fable?" " Sure." "Here." "'That's not fair, Your Excellency." "I'm a weak woman' First we persuade her, than she comes herself." "Of course, because it's Tanya, she can do everything." "Astronomic, dramatic circles, sure, 'cause she has such beautiful eyes!" "What about it?" " You said so in teacher's room yesterday." "Think no one heard it?" " He said only that her eyes are grey." "But you're right as always, Jenya." "Her eyes _are_ beautiful." "Would you like to have such beautiful eyes, wouldn't you?" "I definetely wouldn't!" "'That's not fair, Your Excellency." "I'm a weak woman..." "Tanya, now you." "Take a bow when finished and leave." "OK?" "Jenya, you talk like an accountant." "Take a bow, leave." "Her last words won't be heard because of applause." " Very funny." "Break your leg!" "A table and a chair." "A fable." "[Starts with a fable, forgets her lines, and recites a dramatic verse instead]" "Well, I told you!" "Tanya, I was so worried." "You did great!" "So, you made your peace!" "Nonsense, Fil'ka." "He just said he was worried." "He's so responsive." "Let's invite him to our New Year party." " But it's tomorrow." "And it's your birthday." "Tanya?" "Help me please." "You've got C in English this semester." "Yes." " You seemed to be sad about that earlier." "And now you don't care?" " I do, it's unpleasant." "Dad is coming soon." "Yes."

" It doesn't hurt." "They lie a lot." "Tanya?" "Heroine!" "She raised a general alarm!" " Tell one more word about her and I'll kick the shit out of you!" " You?" "I will do that!" "You're a stranger in our city, so I kindly ask you to behave." "We looked everywhere." "Fil'ka even were at her house." "Maybe she went to the river again?" " Without her coat?" "She doesn't need her coat, she can do anything!" "Tanya!" "Tanya!" "Well?" "What are we gonna do?" "Tanya?" "What is it?" "Why are you crying?" " Maybe she's dead..." "What?" "Let her sleep, don't bother her." " Let her sleep." "Tell that drummer I'm gonna kill him." "Stop drumming, she's asleep." "Don't you have any conscience?" "Why do you sleep dressed?" "Stand up." "I told you not to." "Do you hear me?" "Stand up, let's have some tea." "I was at school." "We went there with your father." "Tanya!" "I need to talk to you." "I'm glad you have many friends." "This newspaper story doesn't bother me, but you." "You tell me nothing, I have to find out everything my own way." "Kolya, your strange doings and wishes." "Your Wild Dog Dingo nickname." "Why do you wear lipstick?" "You didn't." "It doesn't suit you." "Mom, I didn't mean to..." "You still love him, don't you?" "Let's leave!" "Anywhere, another city, I don't care!" "There are, you see, many kinds of love." "Modern love (give me this) is not like retro love." "She can't sleep, she's overwhelmed by her feelings, he sings under her window." " Serenades." "Yes." "Or like Tolya from school #75 with his verses." "I told him it's old-fashioned." " Would you like someone to be under your window?" " Why not, I don't care." "And you?" "To go on a date at night?" " At night?" "On a date?" "Just meet." "And he must escort you." " That's right." "Don't whistle, it brings bad luck." "That's right, there are different kinds of love." "Fil'ka!" "Come on you." "Tomorrow is the last exam, and you're out for an hour." "You know everything, but you don't care about the others, do you?" "And I will fail, I tell you." " You could perfectly learn this yourself." "Okay." "If two circles have one same dot, than these" "two circles are..." " Are you really going to the cape with Kolya?" "That's why you put your beautiful dress on." "I know the place." "Don't go there, I ask you as a girl." " I will go, Fil'ka." "A caterpillar, a caterpillar!" "What will I put on?" "Why did you do this?" "On purpose." "I didn't recognize you in this gown." "Why put it on?" "I marred my grey dress, and the others are in mother's wardrobe." "Didn't want to wake her." "I don't have a grey dress anymore." "Do you remember it?" "Why talk about your silly dress?" "I don't even remember it." "I think only of you." " Always?" "Always." "Even when you're not around." "That's strange for me." "Yes, it is strange." "But good." "So you will think of me always, even when I leave?" "I'm going to leave soon." "Where?" " Me and mother decided that it's better for us to leave." " But why?" "Do you hate me still?" "Don't remind me of that." "I wasn't myself then." "I hated you and feared you." "Now I want you to be happy." "Can't everyone be happy?" "You, your mother, father, aunt Nadya?" "Why not?" " Maybe we can, I don't know." "I must go now." "Good bye." "Kolya?" "Tanya!" "Was it everything you wanted to tell me?" "Was it?" "You need something else?" "Fil'ka!" "Fil'ka, my mother is waiting, I've been looking for you since morning." "What are you doing here, eh?" "How did you do it?" "Let people see it, if they so easily leave one another." "And you can laugh as long as you want." "You're so young, Fil'ka." "These marks will disappear when winter comes and you put your warm shirt on." "But the sun is so strong." "Is it really going to disappear?" "Maybe something will stay visible?" "You're right, Fil'ka." "Everything cannot just disappear." "Otherwise where does our loyal friendship go?" "The End"
