"Vitaliy, I think this song is amazing!" "Vitaliy, do you like this song or not?" "I don't." "it's a shame, because if you did, we could start a fan club together." "Don't be a schmuck, I know there's a cool guy deep inside of you somewhere." "We'll save him." "Are you tying to kiss the windshield or what?" "Thanks for smoking into my face." "I can't see anything." "I can tell you had an accident or something." "You don't drive with confidence." "I am quite confident about you, though." "You will now get out of the car and walk."

"Who the hell is this?" "Oh." "This is my uncle." "He's looking after me." "Let's go chill at my crib." "I'm afraid my uncle won't be able to go." "Holy shit!" "What the hell are you talking about?" "Are you nuts?" "I won't be able to leave him." "You see him?" "Uncle, come here!" "Today's his birthday and we only get to celebrate it together once every two years." "Okay then!" "You can see him next year." "We didn't meet last year." "Alright, you can see him once every three years, for all I care." "I see he doesn't mind." "Look at him, he's beaming with joy!" "It will be eating him from the inside, I know." "I'm sure it will." "You're not a cop, are you?" "..." "Incidentally.." "Do you think it's alright to air relatives on your first date?" "Oh, no, you don't have to air me." "Wait till I pee on this car and I'm set to go home." "Uncle Vitaliy, your infant-like humor is not appropriate here at all." "Let's ride in my car." "Is that alright with you?" "No, it's not." "You can't drink and drive." "Are you 1$?" " Yes." " Then let's go!" "Stop." "Hey, what's up?" "I have to obey him." "You, guys, decide it between yourselves." "First you act like a whore, but when it comes to business, you run off to..." "Where did you learn to speak to a woman like that?" "Get lost, asshole!" "Uncle Vitaliy!" "Save some energy for your birthday-cake candles." "Go home and read books!" "My leg!" "Too many events for one afternoon!" " What?" "You broke your leg?" " Fuck off." "Hey, you should drink more milk, you know that?" "You need more calcium." "Come on, don't be so serious." "Wait, wait." "Hush." "I've just had a vision." "I see a body lying in a ditch." "I bet it's you, Vitalik." "Seems like you're dead.." "I see words on your back, written in blood." "It says "Dirty bastard"." "Oh, shit!" "It's gone." "So you can see the future?" "Let's break your arm and see if you acquire healing powers." "What a dumb freak!" " Who?" "Me?" " You!" "You can't see past your nose!" "You are a perfect man and I am a perfect woman!" "We are meant to be together!" "Shush, shhh, Marina Vassilyevna!" "I am not perfect, you are deeply mistaken." "But you are!" "You don't like football, you don't smoke, you don't drink, and you keep good company!" "Oh, put this on, you may catch a cold." "And you can dress me up quicker than I undress!" "Well, maybe." "So what?" " So that's why you are perfect." "You take it from me." " Now, tell me why I am a perfect woman." "Speak up, silence makes you Look far less perfect." "Go on." "Maybe you are perfect, because you are going to give our department a raise tomorrow." "Alright!" "Stop eavesdropping!" "Pardon, Madam." "is Doctor Do-Little in?" "Who?" "So how are you getting along with your mother?" "it's better now." "But still I can't just enter that state of mind on demand." "That's alright." "She started picking on me again." "And that's alright, that's how it should be." "Remember you can't let your negative feelings eat you from the inside." "You must erase every quarrel, every scandal out of your memory." "Each day is a brand new day for your relationship." "Evey day you have to look at her like it's the first time you see her;" "without prejudice." "Go on, doctor, go on." "Now I have one more exercise for you." "Whenever you meet, every time you see your mother you try to look at her." "and think to yourself.." ""Mommy, I love you so much!"" "and then look at her, as if she is the most special person in the world." "But you've got to be sincere." "It takes some time to practice." "I love you, doctor!" "How does that sound?" "How does it sound when you talk like that?" "How do you like it, when I talk to you like that?" ""l love you, doctor!"" "Yeah, hello?" "Hey there!" "Don't know where to start.." "Speed up." "I'm busy." "I can't speed up, my leg's broken." "Then use shorter words." "I am calling you to say.." "..that I don't really like.." "..the way things have worked out.." "..for the two of us so far." "So I thought, maybe we could.." "..take a chance for a new beginning?" "Let me get it straight." "Should we start from the point when we met or from the moment you started to act like a prick?" "If you decide to party it up a little, please, don't buy pregnancy vodka.." "You know what I'm talking about?" "You drink vodka... or whatever you may be drinking and - bang - next day you wake up pregnant." "I think I should ask Vitalik to" "Oh, come on, Mom!" "I'm sick and tired of your stories!" "Just because you behaved this way in the past, doesn't mean that I will too!" " Oh, well" " Stop pressuring me!" "Do you want me to actually start doing everything you've been rambling about?" "If you aren't doing anything of this kind, what's all this fuss?" "I'm fed up with your dumb Lectures, that's all." "We'll live and see who's right, after all.." "Will you just shut up?" "Wait." "Stay here." "What happened?" "Nothing." "Why did you leave?" "Just to come back." "Why are you giving me that look now?" "What look?" "I don't know, the look." "Why are you so quiet?" "Let's get on with our quarrel." "I have no time to quarrel with you." "I need to go and see Vitalik." "Good morning!" "Good morning." "I want to thank you..." "You've been very helpful with her English and your friend, the psychologist, has been very nice too!" " Oh, you shouldn't have..." " Wait!" "Wait!" "I am leaving Moscow for a couple of days." "So Christine is going to be alone for a while." "She usually invites friends for a party or 'sessions', as they call it." "If you have some time to spare, could you, please, do me a favor and keep an eye on her?" "I wouldn't want her to get involved into drugs or something." "That's like asking a mouse to keep an eye on a cat really." "I thought you were friends." "She trusts her friends more than her mother." " That's the way it should be." " Why's that?" "Well, you can't choose your parents, but you can choose friends, that's why." "Anyway, you don't have to worry." "I know I don't have to, but somehow I do now." "Don't worry." "Caught in the act!" "Did I hear you say you didn't drink?" "I don't really belong here." "I'll tell you why." "You are the only decent person around this place." "Oh, look, the cripple's back!" "Oh, yeah." "I felt sorry for him, so I invited him." "So now you can have sex, the four of you?" "The beauty, the beast, and his two mighty crutches?" "When I called you "decent" l was seriously exaggerating." "Would you mind, if we really... you know... were... doing it... tonight?" "I suppose I would." "You know... I have a feeling... ..we are tying to get to know each other better.." "..and we are tying to get closer.." "..but there's a wall that Oh, well, forget it." "I'm going to do the dishes if we still have any." "Look who's here." "I was seriously misled." "What do you mean?" "I was told there won't be any assholes." "But here you are." "How's the leg?" "You won't fight a cripple, will you?" "Fight?" "No." "Just gonna take your crutches away from you." "Now don't tell me you broke another leg!" " Hey, are you alright?" " Snap it to your own ugly face." "is there a medic around?" "Edik, where are you?" " l said "a medic" not Edik." " Edik is a medic!" "Edik, you study to be a doctor, right?" "What's the fuss?" "We need some antiseptic, that's it." "Here.." "Oh, no, you don't..." "My eyes!" "What's going on, idiots?" "Who hit him in the face?" "This dude did it." "What the fuck?" "It's not me!" "He did it!" "I didn't touch him with a finger." "I just took his crutches and then the rest he did himself." "Give me the crutch, the crutch." "Let's go to my room, move people!" "Careful!" "I feel my brain bouncing in my head, like a ping-pong ball." "Ty to sit still, it may stop." "Little Arthur needs some help." "What is it?" "A friend sent from Holland." "If you don't throw this shit away the next thing he sends you is gonna be a letter from prison." "Cut the crap!" "I imagine my Mom returning and seeing me smoking this." "Hey, it's not a drug." "It's weed." "Everyone smokes it." "Except for may be plastic surgeons or air traffic controllers." "Although Russian air traffic controllers definitely smoke." "Well I don't do it." "Why can't we just talk?" "Talking is a waste of time, by itself." "Why?" "Talking as part of sex or job routine is a whole different matter." "Let's talk about jobs, then." " Or about sex?" " You heard me." "Okay, let's talk about jobs." " What do you want to be?" " Nobody in particular." "How will you get money, then?" "I'll find myself a millionaire lover and I'll live happily ever after." "There'll be a lot of dough." "Yeah." "That's it." "Vitaliy!" "Vitaliy!" "Wanna tap my custard-pie?" "I would like to work in a boutique that sells women underwear." "As a piece of underwear?" "No." "As manual identifier of women's breast sizes." "What?" "And I would like to work as a penoscrotal destroyer!" "Vitaliy." "You know, we could repay them by doing the same." "For example with me..." " Nina" "What's the problem?" "A quickie." "No one has to know." "Huh?" "Nina, that sounds very tempting, indeed but, I am afraid, I will have to say 'no#" "This could be the chance of your life, Vitaliy!" "You better know that." "I realize it well enough, thank you." "And thank you for your kind proposal but I have to go back to sleep now." "But tomorrow is Saturday!" "Yes and I wouldn't want to sleep over my weekend, would I?" "I want to rest well." "If you're embarrassed to be seen around me, we can keep it as our tiny little secret." "Let's keep this conversation our tiny little secret, alright?" "Alright." "Good night!" "The five thousand rubles invested in this party did not pay off a bit." "It stinks." "Five and a half." "Check it out, a perfect pick for some social ad." "A perfect prick?" "(Girl:" "What?" ")" "I guess he's tying to think of something nauseating enough for him to throw up on the floor." "(Girl:" "What?" ")" "So he could go and get wasted again..." "Let's get it over with." "He says, he likes you, now get the hell outta here." "Where's Vitaliy?" "Did he go home?" "Yeah..he started hitting on me." "But I told him to get lost, so he took his ass home." "Must be sleeping by now." "Alright, alright, I was hitting on him but he didn't move a finger." "That dude's got no toothpaste in the tube no more." "Unfortunately." "You'd better go after the cripple over there." "Why did you leave?" "Dunno." "What have you been doing?" "Well, I was sitting... I couldn't sleep." "Then I thought it was a chance to finish the book I didn't have time for." "I read it for a while, but it didn't help much." "Had some tea." "Finally fell asleep." "What about your private party?" "Private party?" "With that clown?" "I'm unlucky with guys." "Maybe it's a sign, a sign to quit?" "Right, quit boys." "I still haven't been able to find the right one for me." "Listen, how about some coffee?" "I've got a terrible headache." "What's the matter?" "Well, maybe I would be shining with enthusiasm now if I hadn't drowned it in a bottle of vodka." "is this the book you've been reading?" "Self-improvement?" "What's left to improve, Vitaliy?" "It doesn't help much, anyway." "I keep reacting to things stupidly." "All you need is self-control." "You're not a bully deep inside." "You're a good boy." "You forget about it, but that's what you are." "You must remind yourself of it." "Remind myself of what?" "Make yourself comfortable." "Sit back." "is this some sort of a test or what?" "No, it's not a test." "Trust me." "Close your eyes." "Concentrate on your heartbeat." "You are here now." "in this very moment in space and time." "Think of a loved one, think of someone who loves you." "The two of you together." "Take a deep breath." "And exhale all the negative feelings you have." "Hey you, with one leg!" "Do you need some Advil?" "What Advil?" "This one!" "I don't want your chemicals, when I've got natural product here." "Oops, there's a little less now." "Are you sleeping?" "And you?" "No." "I actually am." "Who did you think of, when you closed your eyes?" "When I told you to relax?" "My girlfriend." "But you said you don't have a girlfriend." "That's right, she's gone." "Did you break up - or?" "She died in the car accident." "is this OK?" "It is, it is." "OK, I said." "Give it to me." "Are you listening?" "Looks like her diary." "Look at the date, dumbass." "it's been four years since she wrote here last entry." "You don't think this diary is special for her, do you?" "Smoke it." "it's weird that she still keeps it." "She's got all these little sayings here." "Let's smoke this one." "'You'll learn to love when you learn to walk on snow without leaving footprints'." "What the fuck?" "It says love is a terminal disease you're born with you can't just learn to love anyone.." "They promoted me that day." "And I went to celebrate it at a bar with my co-workers." "She turned out to be there too." "Chatting with a man." "He was her cousin." "I thought she was cheating on me." "We made a deal, you know, to tell each other every little thing about ourselves." "Then I hit him." "You were so jealous of her?" "I was." "Granted I had never seen the guy before... ..so I assumed he was her lover.." "What happened then?" "I was driving her home when I fell asleep behind the wheel." "I was very drunk." "It felt like it was someone else, not me, there." "I didn't feel any pain." "At the same time I could hardly move." "Do you remember her last words?" "I don't;" "I think she was silent, as she usually was." "She never argued with me, never yelled at me or anything." "And that made it so much worse." "I wish she would have screamed or stomped her feet." "But she never did." "She was silent." "I know it seems so strange.." "but I didn't have a single thought about her on the way to the hospital." "I thought, maybe I would have to stay at the hospital for some months and lose my new job." "it's strange I never even thought of her." "Alright, I have something to confess too." "I was at a construction site once, when I was a kid, and I threw a brick down on a passer-by." "I have no idea what happened to him." "I ran away." "I may have killed him on the spot, really, or I may have missed.." "..I don't know.." "I want to sleep." "Can I stay?" "I don't think that's a good idea." "I have the feeling that if I leave now, you'll jump out of the window." "I don't think most people clean their teeth before jumping out of the window." "Nina, where is that smoke coming from?" "What the hell are you doing, shitheads?" "Our authoress has come back!" "You go on howling, bitch!" "Wait till I tape your ugly mouth shut!" "I'll damn right glue your dirty mouth closed, you fat cow!" "And you pig!" "Are your legs feeling better?" "!" "This weed has healing powers!" "Fuck you!" "Get the hell outta here!" "Don't kick me, I'm physically challenged." "Mentally as well." "You're up." "Great." "Let's go get some breakfast." "Go where?" "This way." "Follow me." "But I haven't brushed my teeth yet." "You'll get to later!" " Don't look!" " When did you get up?" "I did surprise myself by getting up pretty early." "You go to my room now and get in my bed." "I mean we'll have breakfast in my bed today." "I'm a civilized person." "I'm accustomed to eat in the kitchen." "Doing it in bed once won't hurt you." "Today you'll get the chance to live my life." "You'll be listening to my favorite music." "eating my favorite movies, and watching my favorite food." "No, thank you, I just can't fit any more food in me!" "You've got lots of room left!" "That's just an illusion." "What sort of illusion?" "Eat!" "What would you like for dessert?" "What on Earth are you doing?" "Look at this shawl!" "It's so cool!" "Do I look like your Granny?" "Or like a soldier from Napoleon's army fleeing Russia in 1$12?" "You're so hairy." "You know, the way you wrapped me in this shawl reminds me of those waffles" "you know, you bake them, and then you wrap sweet stuff into them." "My mother baked them for me on this kind of plate." " Were they just as hairy as you?" " Almost." "What would you say to some duck with apples, by the way?" "is this what they call "mild violence"?" "I remember I used to take my bb gun and shoot rats when I was a kid." "But ducks, that's cruel." "Why's that?" "They're the same as rats!" "it's terrible anyway." "Remember you ate meat this morning?" "Millions of cows get slaughtered every day, just because millions of jerks like you can't live without meat." "Do you know how they die?" "They plug their horns into a socket." "And bang!" "The cows die from electric shock." "It's like an electric chair!" "And this what you call violence?" "It's our morning exercise;" "What's this apple to a big fat duck?" "it's next to nothing." "I'm pretty sure they enjoy it as much as I do." "I want to have some fun too, is that so wrong?" "By the way, how about going to a Halloween party this week?" "You'll make a great company." "Look in the mirror!" "You don't even need to wear a mask." "Alright!" "It'll be a pleasure seeing you play the part.." "..of the Wicked Witch of the West every single day!" "You didn't mean that, did you?" "Take your words back or I'll throw an apple at you!" "Stop it!" "I didn't even have time to say that I didn't mean it!" "You must be pretty grateful to me for making your life easier!" "What're you getting at?" "Well, to put it mildly, it's not like you to take the initiative." "Pardon?" "Alright, I'll go to your stupid Halloween party." "but you'll have to do me a favor." "My boss is all over me." "You want me to sort her out?" "Will you come to my office, so she could see us together?" "So that she'll think I'm seeing somebody." "'Somebody'!" "I'm the best there possibly is." " Right." " And I'm coming!" "The very best." "Almost perfect." "My hands are cold." "Easy easy." "You argue all the time." "it's you who argues, not me!" "Oh, turn it off!" "Why?" "Don't you want some light?" "If we were back in my room now, I would get the lights on." " Do you want me to turn it on for you?" " No, I don't." "But you just said you needed some light!" "I am your guest, and I'm tying to be polite." "You are my guest, that's why it should be on then." "As your guest I want it to be off." "Please." "If I were your guest, would you turn the light for me?" " Yes, I would." " Fine." "I can't see my pumpkin anywhere." "Could you turn on the light, please?" "Do you know the story of the first Halloween pumpkin?" "Look." "Cool." "So do you know the story?" "Once upon a time there lived an Irish farmer named Jack." "He loved booze, gambling and girls." "So one day he died, and you could tell he wasn't going to get into Heaven." "There was no room in Hell for him either." "He was a weird guy." "So he had to wander around with his pumpkin head.." "..and some coals burning inside." "Just like you!" "I am not wandering." "The car crash put an end to my previous life." "So as long as it ended up that badly, I guess I was living it in vain." "I made up my mind to clean the slate and start a new life." "So here I am." "Here you are." "What is it?" "Fill in the blanks, please." "Why?" "it's a profile of my husband-to-be." "You are one of the candidates." "So are you happy now?" "That you moved here?" "That accident, you know, I wouldn't want anyone to go through it but it was something that definitely changed my life for the better." "How about the girl?" "Do you still love her?" "Yes, I do." "Vitaliy, I need to talk to you about an urgent business matter!" "Let's go some place light." "Look." "What do you think I should wear for our office date?" "If I wear a bra, it'll shape my tits." "But if I don't wear it, you'll be able to see the nipples!" "It doesn't make much of a difference, if you wear a bra or not, you are young and so your breasts don't sag yet." "Why do you men call the breast 'breasts'?" "You're right, if you wear a bra, I won't be able to see your nipples, that would be too bad." " l see you are quite an expert!" " So your idea was to barge in like this" "and embarrass me with your silly little tricks." "is that what you call 'silly little tricks'?" "It only proves you are gay." "I work for a women's magazine." "Goodness, such an estranged professional tone!" "I work for a women's magazine, remember?" "Two-zero for 'gay'." "Have you ever had sex with a man?" "I haven't." "Have you ever touched one?" "A man?" "Yes." "To shake hands." "Did you feel anything, when you touched them?" "No." "Fine!" "When do we meet?" "Yes!" "What?" "You know what I hate about our marriage?" "You!" " Your husband?" " Shrewd, are we?" "You never..." "You never told me anything about your family." "I hate cursing." "is it that bad?" "Everything's just fine!" "it's as fine as it gets!" "I'll show you something now." "Wait till I open my facebook Welcome to my life!" "Here." "Look!" "it's our kid, Petya." "'Dreambuster', I call him." "When he's in the mood, he plays with his wee-wee, when he's not, he paints pictures on the wall with his shit." "This is my husband, who wants us to go for a second child, so I could have the stomach just as big as his." "The only exercise he does is by wiping his fat ass and eating 'pirogies'," "oops, only in reverse order." "His biggest ambition is to get sloshed on beer and fall asleep on the sofa in front of the TV." "And this is my mother-in-law, I tear up every time I see her and I get sick every time I hear her." "I have to stare at her every minute I spend because our flat is so small, that wherever I turn, she's always in sight." "This is my happy 'ever after' for you." "Any questions?" "Sweetie!" "Collect the dropped jaw and let's go!" "is this your girlfriend?" "The bachelor's lifestyle has its benefits too." "Wait, you got it all wrong." "Food goes here, plastic goes there." "Wow!" "is that what they call 'civilization'?" "She's looking." "She's totally looking." "Don't stare at her." "I think I've seen her someplace." "Your sexy little fantasies must have been leaking through the wall." "Careful with the ass!" "You are overacting!" "Get it together, papi!" "My 'Oscar' for best role is on its way." "Shoo!" "Christine?" "!" " Hello." " Hello." "Vitaliy, I need to talk to you." "Christine seems very attached to you." "She's very sensitive, you know," "J she's never seen her father and that explains a lot..." "Wait, wait, I believe you're exaggerating here.." "Thank God I've known her for all these 11 years, and I can see that she might be falling in love with you." " What?" " She is." "What should I do?" "On the one hand, the funny thing is I can't put my foot down here at all." "I say 'yes', she says 'no', and vice versa." "She's got her principles." "On the other hand, it would be nice, if you.." "..simply stopped seeing her." "I don't think so, no.." "You don't know her at all." "She's not able to focus on anything now." "She's tying to balance between her abominable friends, her school life, I believe her education is all that matters at this point." "She should be studying hard now." "I will not always be around to help, don't you see?" "I do, I do." "it's not that I think you are a bad person to know or anything." "What I'm tying to say is things may not turn out well for her," "and you could be the reason for that." " l do understand." "You don't know how lucky you are, do you?" "Do I?" "Why?" "You just have to sit and listen." "it's next to doing nothing." "What about writing books or reading for a doctorate?" "Same stuff." "Although it must be pretty boring to listen to these ravings every single day, though." "Well, I usually think to myself... 'what sort of a raving will I hear today?" "'" "Being curious is important." "I see." "Doctor?" "Yes?" "Do you believe you can have Lots of happiness without..." "..having to pay for it sooner or later?" "Well, the thing here is.." "..you shouldn't think about paying for your happiness, because your negative thoughts may actually make it happen." "Right, but, you know, if someone feels good, they still have this nagging feeling things could turn out bad." "Yes, but you may want to Look at things differently." "Ty to imagine that no matter how happy you are, you can be even happier." "Happiness is like the universe, it can expand endlessly." "Tell yourself that no matter how happy you may be now," "you are only a step away from a new world of discoveries," "adventures, some new.." "...Some new.." "..prospects?" "Yes." "Stay optimistic and wait for all these things to come your way... ..in due time." "I see." "Thanks." "How long this is going to continue?" "it's pretty much full." "You know what I'm talking about." "Your snotty little girl." "You know how old you are?" "You need a mature woman like me!" "Marina Vassilyevna!" "You are putting on an act now." "it's ridiculous." "If you've slept with her, then we're through." "Now!" "I sleep alone." "Are you gay or something?" "Gays sleep with men. I sleep alone." "You sleep with yourself and you are a man." "That means you're gay." "I'm leaving." "And I was about to promote you!" "I've just written my two-week notice." "It's on Sveta's desk." "You take it and you tear it up!" "Or?" "Or else you're going to fire me?" "No!" "I'll chuck this tea into your face!" "That's the scariest threat I've ever heard in my life!" "Asshole!" "it's' over!" "You're fired!" "it's the end of your career!" "And it's the first day I wore my favorite lucky sweater." "Coffee?" "Tea." "Must be strong?" "Dunno, it's hot." "So what are you going to do?" "I don't know." "I'll go back to Serpukhov, I guess." "I'll wander around like a pumpkinhead." "Like a what?" "I mean Halloween." "You know Halloween?" "A pumpkin with a candle inside." "So what?" "Nothing." "Here." "Enjoy the silence." "What is it?" "A key." "You can stay in my apartment for a while." "Well, you can stay there until you make up with your husband." "Wait, you've just given your key to someone you hardly know." "We aren't even friends!" "isn't it time we became friends?" "That'll be 150." "I can't take this bill, it's torn." "Because you just tore it." "I did not." "You didn't?" "No." "I saw you tear it, when you picked it up, so you better stop complaining." "I'm afraid I can't take this bill my boss won't be very happy if I' do." "is this my problem?" "You deal with your boss." "Can't you just go to the bank and exchange it?" "Which bank?" "Any bank." "Take a walk." "Why do I have to walk anywhere?" "Just because a dumbass like you can't take my money right?" "Hey, why are you calling me a dumbass?" "Take the money, dumbass!" "I'm warning you." "You've got a thousand, right?" "!" "I've also got a bill you tore." "Why the hell do you care about what you throw into your fuckin' cash register?" "I am afraid I won't able to sell you anything." "You've got your principles, right?" "Just doing my job." "What a dumbass!" "Cursing won't solve your problem, but a one thousand ruble note will." "No, it won't." "It's fake." "Are you kidding?" "I can go down now and check, of course.." "Where the hell can you go?" "To a fuckin' lab for a fuckin' test?" "Do you have any more money?" "Here's your money." "Dumbass." "Hello!" "Hey!" "I'm going back to Serpukhov." "Do you want me to get your parents anything?" "What do you mean you're going back?" "Are you quitting - or...?" "Not really." "It was a lousy idea to Leave for Moscow and start a new life." "I can't change the way I am." "I act like a clown of a sorts, tying to be very nice and positive, you know." "but it doesn't change a thing about me." "I am neither good enough nor polite enough." "How can a killer be any good, anyway?" "Stop, stop it." "What are you raving about?" "Sober up first, then pull yourself together and don't do anything stupid." "Got it?" "Are you listening?" " Yeah?" "I am." "There're things you can change, so you change them." "There're also things you can't change, so you've got to leave them behind." "Hey?" "What's going on?" "Nothing much." "I feel broken." "What's broken?" "Broken into little fuckin' pieces." "I do hope you can use your little gray cells, anyway." "Do you know what happened to Vitaliy?" "No." "Why?" "So you know something?" "Forget him, Christine, he's not meant for you." "What are you talking about?" "Look at the two of you." "Do you know how old he is?" "Why on Earth are you talking about age?" "Age means nothing." "it's like looking serious doesn't mean you've got a high IQ." "Do you get it?" "I am sure he's not the right man for you." "At least, right now." "How can you be so certain about everything?" "Have you ever made any mistakes?" "You were very busy building your career first, then you decided to have a child just because it was the right time for it." "Did it work out?" "It didn't." "You married the wrong man, who dumped you right away." "Were you certain it would happen to you?" "I'm not like you, Mom." "I'm not quite sure about anything, except for the fact that we'll die sooner or later." "That's why we should live every moment to the fullest and try out everything that comes our way." "I had a talk with him about your relationship." "Mom, why?" "There is no relationship." "So we decided it would be better for him to leave." "He didn't decide it, you decided it?" "What have you done Mom?" "What?" "I love you, Mom!" "Where are you going?" "To try and find him." "What a chest;" "you could as well be Rambo, Nina." "Quit it, Chris." "If he dumped you, that's no reason to take it out on me." "He didn't dump me, it was just a misunderstanding!" "He did!" "That look on your face has been screaming it." "I oughtta paint some blood on your face." "Pull yourself together, sweetie." "That's hilarious." "You've just ruined a five thousand ruble hairdo." "You were robbed blind again, I guess." "I'd have shaved you bold for five rubles or less." "Hello, can I talk to Pavel Victorovich?" "He's not available at the moment, but you can leave him a message." "Tell him" "I'm pregnant with his baby, I'm depressed and I'm ready to jump out of the window." "Don't hang up, he'll be here in a moment." "You are a Pheromone Queen among women you... you..." "I've got testosterone therapy here don't disturb me!" "This is a matter of life and death." "Do you want me to spank her?" " Do you want to talk about it?" " Take it..." "Yeah!" "What the hell have been blabbering about?" "Something about being happy, something about adventures and prospects?" " Today we are using whip-and-carrot method!" " Anya, go get some carrots quickly." "Like hell it is!" "Where did your lectures get me?" "They got me into deep shit!" "I feel really fuckin' grateful, doctor!" "Sitting on your butt isn't going to change anything!" "You ought to fight for your happiness." "Sorry, I can't talk to you now." "Wait, wait, I need Vitaliy's address in Serpukhov." "She was just sitting on the window sill first, and then she got to the balcony and sat there with her legs hanging down," "and she was really, really persistent -just like this one." "What?" "Excuse me, I've got to talk to him about something more important than windows and balconies." "Arthur!" "King Arthur knows everything." "You were tying to take His Majesty off your narrow mind, but you failed." " Arthur, what the..." " l see what you're getting at." "You've been suffering and struggling through your complexes, but finally you are here to tell me even sad girls can become queens some day?" "Yes or no?" "Have you been drinking?" "Nope, will you kiss me now?" "Serpukhov?" "Hell, that's really far!" "Alright, alright!" "You should have called us once in a while, man." "We could have placed those little pins on the map to trace you." "I thought I'd surprise you." "Maybe next time you will get me some welcome banners in town." ""HELL-O, KILLER-O!" "Missed you to death!"" "is that what they call "The Great Depression"?" "I call it living in vain." "imagine you are working on something, and then it all boils down to nothing." "You start from one side, then move to the next, it's all the same." "Just tired of paddling against the stream." "You come to the conclusion that life keeps offering you something you don't really need." "One more shot?" "An empty glass stared at him, with hope in his lonely eye." ""The lad reckons himself a poet".." "is that how Moscow affects you?" "Another car accident or what?" "Take it easy, it's a joke." "I fell in love." "Oh, you fell in love." "That's good news." "With a schoolgirl." "So what?" "How old is she?" "Schoolgirls are pretty different." "I've seen my share of fully stacked shelves who just happened to turn 16." "Look what I got you here, your portrait." "Don't tell me you don't like it." "That doesn't look like me at all." "How nice." "What's next?" "Look!" "There's a guy walking over there." "Ask him the way." "Excuse me, could you, please.." "No, you couldn't." "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Now I know where assholes like Vitaliy come from." "Come on, Christine, he could be God knows where by now." "Maybe he went to the North pole to hang out with the bears." "Anything, to get further away from you." "I will tear those bears apart." " Don't look." " That's his street." "it's not like he's wandering around like an idiot." "Look where you're driving!" "Ah, whatever." "You forgot the waffles." "Heeey?" "Do you see me?" "Let me in!" "What's wrong?" "I've come a long way just to see you." "Do you really need all these bitter memories that drag you back?" "We can make a brand new start, just you and I." "Hey, what the hell?" "I've come all the way from Moscow like a fool just to hang around outside your car?" "That's for you." "Happy Halloween." "Don't you want to kiss me?" "I do." "Then why aren't you?"
