"And you say "I don't want to look at Grandpa"" " Don't want!" "That's right!" "Person says what he thinks." "Well done!" "May I?" " Come in" "Dad!" "There's a thing" "Well what, is it money?" " Nah" "The thing is:" "I've heard Viktor Petelin is tipped on this position" "What Petelin?" "Who told you?" "You listen to all sorts of rubbish!" "Is that what you've come to me to report?" " But you listen" "No matter who" " Petelin or someone else - he'll be seeking counsel with you about the staff, right?" "So?" "For me, this is a chance" " What chance?" "I'm 27 years old." "I'm sitting with 30 rubles a month" "Well, who's impeding you?" " You" "Well, fine:" "I no longer do" " But I want you to help!" "What's the commotion?" "No, there's no commotion" "I've been wondering, what'll be the first thing for my eldest son to tell me on these days" "And he says:" ""It's great, Dad, that you've been fired"" ""Now no one will interfere with my career growth, making a career"" "No, my darling: you being my son isn't what's hampering you" " Sergei!" "An able man achieves everything himself!" "Himself!" "And it's all empty talk, that someone's hindering him!" " Sergei!" "But you took all the positions!" " Nikolai!" "Won't yield anything to anyone!" "What, isn't it so?" " How are you talking to the father?" "Do you know this saying: "Found your place in life - wait until it's vacant"?" "Well, vacant now!" "Grab it!" " Sergei!" "Olga!" "Olga!" "Phone!" "Mom" "Andrei Zakharych" "Abrikosov" "Andrei Zakharych, it's Abrikosov" "Coming to you" "Is it true?" "Firstly, greetings" "What are you talking about?" " That Petelin" "Yes, true" "Well to whom has this come to mind?" "Can you explain to me?" "Why suddenly Petelin?" "Ridiculous!" "A person without a face!" "Now that's too much: "without a face"." "Just the opposite, he's got a handsome face" "Maybe someone's attracted to him with this face?" " Perhaps, won't rule it out" "And how do you think the staff's chosen?" " On business grounds." "That's what I think" "Also, I figured it wouldn't be a sin to consult with me." "Somehow I could have picked you a worthy person" "It's not that simple - "a worthy person"" "A worthy person has to not only please YOU, actually probably you - the least" "Why's that?" "Because we do not need your copy." "2nd Abrikosov - what's he for?" "We already have one" "Had!" " Well, "had", if you prefer" "If you have to change - change for something different" "And you found Petelin?" "Thanks" "Maybe a cup of coffee?" " No" "Right, don't go in for it" "I've got 180/110 pressure, and it's already consistent" "Slightly below - head's bursting Our age!" "I'm not complaining about age yet" " Well god bless you" "Listen, Sergei!" "Sit down, relax, it's flashing in my eyes because of you" "I think there's some emotion speaking inside you..." " Well?" "How to say this..." " Well-well?" "Petelin is your man" "You've created him." "And now it's hard for you to imagine..." "Oh what's that got to do with it?" "What's that got to do with it?" "Petelin is a capable engineer, but then there are different natures" "You know as well as I" "There are executives." "And he's a typical executive" "And what could he have been with you, think about it!" "You wouldn't have tolerated another!" "Isn't it so?" "In short, here's what I'm going to say to you" "It's not my idea, you understand it yourself" "Even more, it's no secret" "I advocated you, but..." "The minister has his own reasons." "That's why he's a minister" "And in this case on this position he... wants to see, well, like, a person from a different generation" "What you gonna say!" "Sound idea" "One can no longer operate using the old methods" "Have you got new ones?" "Don't play stupid!" "You're fully aware of what we're talking about" "After all, something happens to us with age" "We're gaining experience, correct." "But..." "But maybe this is actually a bad thing." "What is experience?" "A habit." "A habit for the good, but also a habit for the bad" "These are all your arguments or the minister's?" "Ours, Sergei Nikitich, ours:" "both his and mine" "And since he's the minister, and I'm working with him" "Drink!" "It's going to cool down" "Got a car?" "No, no need." "I'm on foot now." "Pedestrian" "But I'm not talking about that." "Own car, "Zhiguli"" "No, didn't get one" "And the villa?" "Government property" " Well why so?" "For naught" "All of our generation - idealistic fools." "We don't think about tomorrow" "We think we're eternal" "Too soon you're writing me off, Andrei" " Wait." "Wait!" "Well who's writing you off, weird guy?" "Wait." "Hold on a bit" "The minister asked about you, he's definitely going to summon you." "I think he's going to offer something worthwhile" "Just a piece of advice:" "don't walk around with a bitter expression" "A sort of a living reproach." "It'll do you no good" "Do you understand me?" "Stay healthy" "And Sergei?" "Why are you in such an outfit?" "No good" "Yes." "Excuse me please." "A minute" "Good evening" " Good evening" "Yes?" "Opened the door, sorry." "Well-well?" "It's just like him" " I'll feed you" "Strong tea." "Where's Marina?" "Already in bed." "A child couldn't fall asleep for a long time" "We've made bed for them in the office, your bed's in the bedroom" "Yeah?" " ...well ultimately I don't care." "Let him assert himself all he wants It is a sort of assertion" "Don't see the difference." "Effeminate man of our time or manly - what's the difference?" "Well how's one better than the other?" "Oh, with such a pleasure!" "With pleasure I would have gone there!" "*lists places* (muffled speech) Anywhere!" "(muffled speech)" "Thanks, yes?" "Probably won't be possible now, no" "Circumstances have changed" "Yeah" "Well this isn't a phone conversation, yeah" "OK" "Call me." "Or I'll call" "Anyway, someone'll call" "Gran, had Sergei had a meal?" " No, he hadn't even finished his tea" "Want me to give you something to read?" "Don't look at me" "What shall we do with Marina?" "Maybe rent a house?" "Yes, probably" "How much money do we have on a (savings) book?" "Do we have a book?" " 1600" "Not too thick, by today's standards" "Have you been to the ministry?" " Yeah" "And?" " Nada" "Turn away" "And with whom were you on the phone?" "When?" " Right now" "Valentina" "Valentina?" "Which Valentina?" "My friend." "You know her" "I think you've seen her" "Yeah, can't recall" "You've got a lot of new friends, whom I don't know" "Naturally, of course" "Give me your hand" " What for?" "Well, I need your hand" "Come on, Sergei, don't play games." "Enough!" "Let's go to sleep." "I'm killing the light" "Gimme." "Gimme" "Won't" "Gimme" "I give up" "Moscow time 11:06" "Our information desk" "Since June the 15th, regular flights have been opened from Moscow to Nairobi" "Comfortable aircraft TU-154 will take you to the capital of Kenya in 5 hours and 40 minutes" "Use the services of Aeroflot" "Retirees are invited to work as gunners for paramilitary security" "Recruits are issued uniforms" "For information call:" "574-32-70" "I repeat:" "574-32-70" "Hello?"

"Sergei Nikitich, enter, but no right away:" "I'm not clothed" "Sergei Nikitich, enter, I'll be a second" "How do you do, Sergei Nikitich." "What brings you here?" "Oh why did you, let me hang it up" "I was now at my old friend's" "Wanted to have a drink to the meeting" "But a friend of mine for 2 years now is no longer among the living" "But how can that be?" " Like that" "Let's commemorate his soul" "Do you have any glasses?" "Well, why glasses?" "How do you live, Sergei Nikitich?" "Do not live!" "Going to" "And you?" " Well you know, same old for now" "I honestly thought that Victor Sergeievich would take another assistant" "So I've been told, that "all of you will be substituted"" "But so far no change" "Good" " And how are you, Sergei Nikitich?" "I think about you all the time" "But stop thinking." "Don't" "I'm fine" "As you see:" "I'm visiting acquaintances, friends" "Previously, I only had to deal with superiors and subordinates" "And now such an advantage" "Seeing those whom you want to see" "Oh, Nelly Petrovna." "The way we live" "In this bustle one can live 20 years without meeting a familiar person" "Friends unseen for years" "Can't even find out about a passing, if on that day you missed a social" "And with this friend of mine..." "Grigori Melnikov..." "We lived together for many years" "Were friends" "Studied" "Worked" "He literally saved me from a bullet" "If you begin to remember..." "Why won't you drink?" "I generally don't drink Sergei Nikitich" "Well here you've lived such an interesting life" "Why don't you write?" "To just sit down and write down" "To be published in a luxury cover" "Well even if unpublished?" "It'll remain" "But really." "Come visit me, I'd write down." "I've got a machine there" "Come visit me?" "You know, that's dangerous!" "Why?" "One had already been visiting and visiting, and then bam and..." " And what?" "Love, what?" "Well, you know, I don't think it's a threat for us" "You think so?" " Sure" "I've never seen you laughing" "To your health" "Got time to read?" " Nah, a little" "And who's this?" "And that's my husband" "Though we weren't signed" "He had a family apart from me" "But anyway, I'm grateful to him for everything" "I was happier than most married women" "How so?" "Like that!" "All the best was ours." "How else to explain it to you?" "By the way, his name was Sergei." "Your namesake" "And all this has been over for a long time" "Here's all about myself for you" "Yeah..." "Affairs" "OK" "I'll go" "But wait, Sergei Nikitich." "But where are you going?" "But stay more!" " Nah" "Want me to call a taxi?" " What for?" "I'll...step out" " Let me..."

"In what sense?" "In the sense of money, you mean?" "Well, Dad, it's no problem" "You can make money" "How?" "Clean the streets?" "So what, is that not a job?" "One could, by the way, as an insurance agent." "I had an offer" "Agent?" " Insurance" "Good job." "Decent income" "And free time" "Is that important for you?" "Free time?" " Yes, Dad, yes!" "You've never had it, that's why you don't know what it is: free time" "Excuse me, but you knew nothing, except your work" "Whole life for work!" "And not because - believe me - the job needed it." "You!" "You needed it!" "Because you didn't know what to do with yourself" "Sunday: it's been a nightmare" "You don't like TV, guests bore you, idleness irritates you" "Idleness, yes" "And maybe it's not idleness at all."

" Victor Sergeievich has big plans" "Well how do you like him overall?" "A pawn" "Promoted to a queen." "But still a pawn" "Well I don't know In my opinion Victor Sergeievich has very warm feelings for you" " Yeah" " No, really" "By the way, yesterday one person (I'm not going to name him, you know him)... allowed himself to comment on the old management" "So Victor Sergeievich cut him short and in the presence of everyone..." "Let's be silent" "Nelly honey" "And are you always that devoted to your superiors, huh?" "Nelly honey" "Here's what concerns me" "You must know women psychology." "Can I ask a question?" "Please" "Well, woman, as is known, is a creature of higher order" "A man is capable of living a double life." "This is also known" "But what about a woman?" "What do you mean, "what about"?"
