"Well, I'll try not to wake him up." "Fed'ka!" "You bastard!" "I'll tell your mother." " Thank you, brother." " Don't, Ivan Mihalych, don't.." " Here." " This house is 100 years old, it'll collapse." "Fedya, you fool, hold the ladder." "You're insane!" "Dear God..." "You're insane." "That's just what I needed!" ".." " I took some borjomi to your dressing room." " Turn away." "I'll change."

" And my navas boots." "Take your jacket." "Hey!" "There was a metal box in my pocket!" "Are you insane, Patrykeevna?" "Search for yourself." "Talking like that, don't expect my help." "Things!" "You have..." "You need a truck to get all your things." "You see, a bus..." "How was the premiere?" " Pay me first." "What?" " You must have snatched it." "You have nothing to snatch." "Not very realistic, but we need plays like that." " Well, well..." " Why so sad?" "Hungry?" "Are we invited to the wedding?" "After payday." "By all means." "Psychopath." " How's your about mother-in-law?" "Alright?" " Mother-in-law?" "She's ok." "Charming one." "Holds my hand all the time." "Charming are the scariest type." " Looking good." " Good?" "That way."

"What's going on there?" " Surround the whole building at once." " Yes, sir." "And a bullet was waiting for them, Nosey, behind every bush." "Attaboy!" "Ivan Mihalych, how come I always need to go to the bathroom at such moments?" "Is it the nerves?" "The barracks here are 100 years old." "Herdsmen sleep there." "Herdsmen." "In the old days they searched for gold...." "And there was one german, who..." "Tuke was his name..." "Want some?" ".." "A half." "He had built a beautiful house." " Ivan Mihalych, what's that you're sucking?" " None of your business." " ...good luck..." " Make way for detectives!" "Put it away." " Hey comrade!" " What's going on?" "What's the matter?" " We're going this way." " What's the matter?" " Move it!" "Move it!" " What?" "I'll fucking kill you, bastard!" "Stop." "Red light." "No trespassing." " Sorry granny, you can't." " What's going on?"
