"Some sort of trouble?" "They were supposed to pick us up." "We need to phone them, to tell them we are here." "Natasha called, but Sveta, you have to understand." "Understand me, I've got two kids to look after." "If you need something, OK." "But just as long as we won't have any trouble afterwards." "Oh, we'll be off then." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." "We don't smoke here, Alik." "What've you come for?" "Have you brought the money?" "Kostya, just tell me one thing." "Do you believe me or the cops?" "I believe that someone's got to pay." "If you want to listen, listen." "I didn't take the money." "I swear on my kid's life!" "And it's not you that's asking me for it!" "I came to you myself, Kostya." "We are not children." "Leave the kid alone." "I won't run from you." "It's not you I need." "I need the money." "And your kid now costs two million." " I'm hungry." " I haven't eaten anything either." "You can buy ice cream over there." "I've only got three rubles left." "just enough for a telephone token." "Maybe we could ask someone." " What?" " Well, for money, or bread." "You want to start begging on trains?" "We could sing." "And people will give us money." "Sing if you've got the bareface cheek." "Just be careful they don't put you in a nuthouse." "Let's go." "Pies!" "Stand back." "Hey, what about me?" "Where are the owners?" "Are they dead?" "No, they are alive for the time being." "Who lives here?" "Leave me alone!" "What difference does it make to you?" "I am sick of chasing round strange houses with you." "Don't you understand why are we hiding?" "Want me to explain?" "It's because your dad's a gangster." "And you're a gangster's daughter." "Liar!" "Liar!" "He's not a gangster!" "A gangster." "A real gangster." "And a thief." "Got it." "And then where did they go?" "No one knows?" "Have a look on that line." "careful how you tip off the police." "They were in Kurovskaya." "They dropped in on some relatives." "They wouldn't let them in." "What do you expect?"

"Tomorrow I'll find them myself and we'll get out of here." "Don't pick it up." "Can I try again?" "This phone is for work." "Please." "Tanya, it's me again." "Where was that call from?" "Tanya, have a look and see where it is." "Revyakava." "OK, thanks." "Hi, Klimkin, it's me." "Lyosha, something's up." "I need some money." "A lot." "However much you've got." "When can you give it to me?" "Come afterwards then." "I'm at your dacha." "You've forgotten where your dacha is?" "Zelenovod village, number 15." "And bring something to eat." "Dina!" "Dina!" "Dina!" "Idiot!" "I've got my make-me-invisible hat on." "What're you shouting for?" "Idiot!" "If you want we can go out somewhere?" "Alright." "What sort of dance is that?" "It's a belly dance." "I'm getting sick from the height." "So?" "Me too." "Will we be spinning round much longer?" "until we are really sick." "Have you ever kissed with anyone?" "As if!" "Well, have you got a boyfriend?"

"That's ours over there." "Why are you two smiling like idiots?" "My hat's just gone up in flames." "What are we going to do now?" "We could go to the police and try telling them everything." "I don't think we should go to the police." "They might put dad back to prison." "Get in." "What're you waiting for?" "I'm not going." " What can they do to us?" " Maybe nothing to you." " Hello." " Hello." "We came on an excursion and got lost." "It's easy to get lost." "I've got to phone my parents." " Do you know where there's a phone?" " Not far." "Get in." "Go and eat."
