"I'm a shy businessman." "I want to spend the night with you." "If you agree then keep this card." "If not - give it back to me." "I'm running out of them." "I love you, Tanya." "I love you, too." "I want to marry you." "Thanks God!" "You finally cracked." "No, is it really true that we'll gett married?" "No,you really want to marry me?" "I already told it to my mother." "Really?" "Very really." "And we will move to your place?" "If you want." "I love you." "Ok, I have to go now." "I'm going?" "Yes?" "No, no, I'm late." "Take the presents." "You know what?" "I will not take them, but you will bring them to me." "Ok?" "Ok." "And it is necessary to tell you mother about us." "My sweetheart." "Tanya, wait." "Yes?" "What?" "Here are 500 crowns." "Take them, as you always do." "In our country the rate of the dollar dropped right now." "Maybe it is not profitable for you?" "Put them away." "Stop it." "What?" "In our country wives don't charge money from their husbands for sex." "That's right." "But a wife is always worth much more." "Bye bye." "Bye bye." "Oh God, help me please." "Oh, Anna Matveyevna Tanechka Good morning, good morning.Here you are." "Oh, it's not needed, I don't really know.." "As always, as always." "You are as a mother to me." "Madame Larson." "Did Anna Matveyevna inform you?" "Come on, I don't recognize you, Tanya." "You are an experienced person." "Professional." "Zhenya, maybe you will let me go?" "What are you talking about?" "Let's go." "We miss you down there." "Zhenya, I'm getting married." "Congratulations." "Zhenya, Zhenya, let me out of here." "It's me, Zinka." "My darling, let me out." "It is stuffy in here." "Hallo." "Hi." "Oh, here are the best people of our community." "Now everybody is here." "Take you seats, please." "Hi." "Leave me alone." "Bitch." "Now, let's continue." "Where did I stop last time?" "I promise to go to school, to finish the 10th grade and get a diploma." "Of being sexually mature." "Zinaida Vasilyevna, you are disturbing." "I'm keeping silence." "Besides, I give you my word, scout's honour not to attend an Inturist hotel and never ever be a prostitute." "Natalya, who wrote this application 1 week ago?" "Well, me" "How many times already?" "Listen, your father, well, who is he, I think.." "My father is a professor, studying the culutre of Africa.Though he has never been in Africa." "In the Institute, he tells his students one thing, but when he comes home, he is laughing about what he was telling them." "And that is why?" "And that's why I know, nothing will happen to me." "Hallo captain, we have arrived." "Hi, wait there." "And who is he?" "This is my friend from Syria." "He is fighting for peace, you can even read it on the other side of that photo." "And in his room, you were fighting for peace, too?" "Yes, something like that." "Fuck, what an idiot, who is hiding stuff like that?" "Fuck.." "Natalya.." "Earlier I didn't find more than 50 marks in your bag." "But here is 100!" "Everything gets more expensive in the world." "And since when did syrians start to pay with finnish marks?" "I found those marks." "What a fortune!" "And where?" "In the elevator." "So when we arrested you, you were on your way to give your find to the state?" "Of course." "The headline in The Pioneer Pravda:" "Honest girl's actions." "Text itself: a pupil of the 10th (b) grade gave to the state 100 finnish marks, which she has found.." "In the underwear of a famous syrian peace fighter." "Stop making fun." "Why not?" "We have only just begun." "And stop immediately." "Now we start a custom examination." "Where is your search warrant?" "Yevgeniy Alekseyevich, fill out this form please that Zinaida Vasylyevna has been drunk in the Inturist hotel after 23.00" "Where do you work?" "Same place as always." "Lenmost project." "As who?" "An odd-job woman." "Poor labouror." "And what is your s.." "90 rubles." "Oh, not bad, how nice it increased." "The enemy propagandists only need to glance at Zinaida Vasilyevna Mileyko and they will start crying of embarassment." "The car is waiting, Anatoliy Andreyevich." "I'm finishing." "Now you will take those two." "And the chain of illegal operations began." "If only I would have a law against prostitution, Zinaida Vasylyevna, I would have isolated you long time ago." "If you would really want, you could put us away within 2 weeks without any law." "All over the country." "But we are still here." "So, that means that you need us." "We need you?" "Not necessary you, but your superiors or somebody else." "This way, please." "Let's go." "Young bitch." "Bye girls." "See you tomorrow." "Don't chew so loudly!" "Oh, the difference between us is only in age and in price!" "Go, go." "How much money?" "I don't remember really." "Something about 1200." "High class!" "So you were able to get 3 clients, for 100 dollars each, and even managed to sell the currency 1:4." "What currency?" "Nowadays, when apartments are constantly being robbed, I have to carry with me all my belongings." "But haven't you heard that street robberies also became more frequent?" "I beg you, Zhenya." "I don't use a public transport." "And I visit only decent places." "This is all my savings!" "And what about your bank account?" "Which bank account?" "Everybody knows that I'm spending lots of money." "I love to dress nicely." "I keep cats at home." "So which bank account could I possibly have?" "Why do you have so many condoms, Serafima Arkadyevna?" "What would you expect?" "Haven't you heard that there is an AIDS epidemy abroad?" "It is transferred only... in this way.. by having sex, excuse me." "We are just obeying orders of our soviet medicine." "And, in future interrogations, Anatoliy Andreyevich, I ask you to keep that in mind." "Serafima Arkadiyevna." "Do you remember how we warned you seriously not to come closer to the diplomatic delegations?" "I don't see them at all." "Anatoliy Andreyevich, I don't meet government representatives at all." "And I don't care about them." "Though they are also people like all normal people." "And who did today serve to Argentines?" "This is not true!" "This is absolutely not true, Anatoliy Andreyevich." "I didn't even think of coming close to Argentines." "I have met no single Argentine." "I even didn't come close to them." "Anatoliy Andreyevich, darling, is it possible to prevent them from approaching me?" "Take your belongings." "Thanks." "So, what is with Zaitseva?" ""A woman likes to look nice and hold her head upright with pride."" "Zaitseva is getting married, so everything is ok with her." "Yes, I'm getting married." "And I'm so sick and tired of you!" "And how we are sick and tired of you!" "We are fed up with you!" "This way." "You are on your knees, even though you outrank me?" "You are trying to show your abilities?" "But you already yesterday got 10 rubles from me." "You want more?" "Where shall we go?" "District Veseliy, Dibenko str. 28" "And a flat number?" "You will do without." "10 rubles." "Deal." "Let's go." "Listen, I recently was driving one guy from USA, to Pushkin, or to Petrodvoretsk, to Pavlovsk and some other places." "He didn't have sufficient of our rubles." "He payed me with dollars." "By the way, do you need dollars?" "I can sell you 1:3" "Excuse me, I don't understand what are you talking about." "Oh, like an actor from the theatre." "Combrade, maybe you are mixing me with someone else?" "Not a chance to mix you." "Take your 10 rubles." "Yes, and about the dollars..." "Article 88, paragraph 1." "From 3-5 years, with confiscation." "I'm begging you." "You will later beg the prossecutor and not me." "And which article applies to you?" "There is no article for me yet." "In our country this social phenomenon is missing." "Clear?" "Oh my sweet girl." "Maybe you will give me your phone number?" "Oh, you will not have enough of either rubles or even dollars." "You will remain without trousers." "Damned idiot." "He always parks his truck so that one can not drive or walk close to the house!" "Save your legs." "Hey you, idiot, I will come down now and pull your legs out!" "So, that is your truck in the middle of the way?" "Impossible to walk or to drive!" "Who do you think you are?" "Mama." "I'm getting married." "Thanks God." "Whom with?" "For Edik." "With the engineer Edward Larson." "How can we all fit in our little apartament?" "I will live at his place." "Does he have his own room?" "Apartment." "Where?" "In Sweden." "Oh my God." "And what about me?" "What have you seen in your life?" "My father, who is a horny bastard," "A salary 140 rubles." "This 1-room flat from the state." "This life?" "Why?" "Why did you give up university?" "To study 5 years in order to earn 100 rubles?" "Go fuck your university!" "Did your university give you a lot?" "Yes it did." "I'm bringing up and teaching children." "Mother, dear, the children are bringing you up and teaching." "But I want to have my own house, my own car," "I want to go to the shop and buy the things that I really need." "Understand?" "I don't want to go to people who illegally sell foreign clothes at higher prices." "I want to see the world with my own eyes." "I haven't become Sofye Kovalevskaya, or Valentina Tereshkova." "Mama, but I deserve much more, believe me." "Am I a woman or where?" "Or what!" "Or who." "Do you love him?" "Mama, don't make me laugh." "If It will be necesarry - then I will love him." "Tanya, daughter, but that means that you will have to sell yourself." "Right." "Right, mama." "But who nowadays does not sell himself?" "Who is not trying to sell his profession more expensive?" "Architects, scientists, lawyers." "And what has all of this got to do with you?" "Am I worse?" "Mama, don't be sad." "Mama, everything will be all right, I will come and visit you." "Sit, I will go and open the door." "This is Lyalka." "Hi." "Hi." "I'm waiting for you downstairs but you are not coming out." "Your parents are still fighting?" "Yes." "Did you get anything to eat?" "Don't ask." "Have you given breakfast to your child?" "None of your business!" "She should better go to the course for trolleybus drivers, then she will earn at least twice as much as her dad." "Stupid fool!" "Mama, we'd better go." "No, no, mama." "Take it." "Mama." "You are going to work for 24 hours, you should buy enough food to eat." "Take it." "Bye." "Wait a moment." "Look at this." "Oh, Tatyana." "How are you?" "Do you have a cigarette?" "Here in my pocket." "Take off your shoes." "Tanechka, could you give me a cigarette?" "Why are you throwing only one cigarette at a time?" "More, more." "Nefyodova, I'm warning you for the last time!" "You will get punished for 15 days more." "Turn away." "Why are you staring?" "Why did you take 2 rubles from your mother?" "You have so many!" "You think it would be better that she would know how many I have and where from?" "Hallo." "Hi." "We should take care of ourselves." "How are you doing?" "This guy who visited you today, is he your son?" "Yes, my oldest son." "Oh, he looks so much like you." "He has also a youngest son." "He is only 7 years old." "Tanya, do you love me?" "Now you will feel." "Tanya, while you were not here, Ivan Afanasyevich was moaning for 3 days." "Did not let anyone sleep." "But today he looks nice." "He probably loves you." "I love you, too, Ivan Afanasyevich." "Tanyusha, we will dance a Boston waltz together, once." "It's true." "Yes, sure." "Hold here." "Take some clean linen and bring it to ward N6." "There is a patient who had a heart attack there." "Change the linen on his bed and change his clothes." "Hallo." "Hallo." "What is it?" "What is it, I'm asking you?" "Why are the urinals dirty?" "Be quiet, it's almost over." "Think how we are giving birth!" "Mama, do we have relatives abroad?" "No, of course not." "Has somebody been captured during war or interned?" "Are you crazy?" "OK, then everything is good." "Thank you." "Tanya, there is a telephone call for you." "Me?" "Yes." "With a very pleasant foreign accent." "Hallo?" "Tanya, it's me, Edward." "Hi." "Have you told your mother about us?" "Sure I have." "She is very happy." "We will pay him a visit." "Her." "Yes, sure." "Good man." "Someone, who in a strange atmosphere is getting married with a russian whore.." "Woman." "Is obliged to meet her mother." "Even if she will turn out to be a KGB spy." "One moment." "Shut up, you damn fool!" "Good heavens, Edward, calm down!" "It was a joke." "A joke." "I love you, Tanya." "Albert Ivanovich, I can not stand it anymore!" "Kozlov is misbehaving each lesson." "He is very rude, Albert Ivanovich, it's a nightmare." "Kozlov, go out and wait there." "Take a seat, please." "Thanks." "We have to do something, Albert Ivanovich, I'm begging you." "Alla Sergeyevna." "We have got information..." "It appears that your daughter is getting married with a foreigner and is gonna leave her motherland." "This all is leading to very grim thoughts." "But she is in love with him." "And she is not going to change her citizenship." "She has always been, and will always be, a soviet citizen." "I don't know, Alla Sergeyevna, I don't know." "But Albert Ivanovich, times have changed nowadays." "For us, for the people, who are responsible for bringing up the children, Alla Sergeyevna, the times should always remain the same." "What a nightmare." "Come here, you bastard." "Maybe "bastard" for some people, but for others Yurij Petrovich." "Ok, Yurij Petrovich, I have to talk to you." "25 quid." "Do you know, how many times I have heard exactly that expression?" "25 "quid", 10 "quid", 100 "quid", from the bartenders, from the hotel staff." "From other people, working with us." "But I payed them because I had to pay them." "But what about you?" "What are you mumbling?" "25 quid, you say?" "Ok, deal!" "Come here." "Come, come." "See?" "Sit still!" "You smelly bastard, cheap idiot, if you one more time rise your scrappy tail to Anna Sergeyevna Sajtseva, your teacher, or say any single word during class," "I will smash you all over the wall." "Understood?" "I'm asking, understood?" "Yes, understood." "So, that's better." "It concerns all of you." "Good bye children." "Best regards to your parents." "Tanka, there are girls there waiting for you." "Tanja, may I go with you, please?" "Look at yourself!" "Straighten your clothes." "You look a mess." "Yes." "Thank you." "Hallo." "Hi." "Hi." "Why did you come?" "We wanted to see something shocking, how an intergirl is working for her country in her spare time." "Very simple." "One day and night and then 3 days of rest." "The job is not difficult, it's rather quiet." "Quiet for whom?" "What do you mean for whom?" "For me?" "for my mother, for the policemen?" "It's high time to go out." "No way." "Why did you come?" "We have a present for you." "Get in." "Tanyuha." "Do you need an arctic fox?" "A fur coat?" "Yes." "What size?" "Yours." "How much?" "1000 bucks." "Or, as our Moscow colleagues say, a thousand greenbacks." "I don't have any currency right now, but how much is it in rubles?" "Seven thousand." "Seven?" "Maybe I should buy it for my mother?" "Otherwise she doesn't have any winter coat." "Show me." "Lyalka, try it on." "Wow, what a beautiful girl!" "A competitor to be." "Forget it!" "Take it off." "You are too young to get used to such clothes." "Ok girls, a deal." "I will buy it." "I don't know when I will get money again, but my mother has nothing to wear for winter." "You will bring me the dough and get a fox." "Thanks." "Listen." "I kicked a frenchman out of the bar today." "Because he was packed, and could therefore not perform." "I only lost my time." "So you went unpaid?" "Lyalechka, go, you shouldn't listen to this." "Go!" "No, she has got her 100 bucks." "It was me who didn't get money today." "I'm giving 15 rubles to the doorman in a hotel restaurant, he brings me to a table with a huge frenchman." "Huge shoulders, horrible face." "I put him in my car and drove to my place." "But on our way he tells me that he is not interested in women but fancies only guys." "So if I will find a man for him right away, then he will pay me 300 franks." "Did he make it up to you?" "What have I told you?" "Get out of here!" "Not a chance." "Don't you know, french will never pay me any compensation." "He would kill for 1 frank, fucking queer." "Now you can count: 5 rubles for entrance, 1 ruble for hanging a coat, 15 rubles to Genka, 25 to the driver." "All wasted." "I have to go." "What's the matter?" "Tanya, could you take me with you once?" "Let's go and work. "take me with you.."" "Madame Larson." "But I envy her." "What are you doing to me?" "What are you doing to me?" "How can I sign a reference for a person who is moving to a capitalist country!" "?" "Permanently!" "Boris Semyonovich, dear, why are you suffering so much?" "Just write anything." "You understand very well, that this is only stupid formal bullshit." "Don't talk nonsense." "I'm being asked to bear a very serious political responsibility." "Wait, Boris Semyonovich." "The only thing that is needed from you is the truth." "So, just write down the truth about Tatyana Nikolaevna." "And I, as the main doctor of the department, will also sign it, if it will be the truth." "And I can dictate what to write." "Tatyana Nikolaevna Zaitseva is a healthy person, because she does not smoke drugs, nor sniff powder, doesn't inject herself, and she drinks alcohol with such a revulsion that it is a nightmare." "She only drinks tiny amounts on parties with her colleagues." "Everything is according to the rules and laws." "She is for peace, for friendship among the nations, she is smart in politics, she is a stable person." "And, at last, her life's principle is that proletarians of all the countries should unite." "Will it work, like that?" "It's wonderful." "Stop it." "Don't make fun of it." "Two young idiots are having fun, but I'm the old one.." "I'm not in the party, and you know to what it will lead me." "Boris Semyonovich, it is becoming boring." "Volodya, I would like to see you in my position." "I would also like to see me in your position." "Oh, that's what you mean?" "Of course, Volodya, as soon as I will sign this reference, my position immediately will be vacant." "And you will really nicely fit in this chair." "I don't know.." "Boris Semyonovich." "Maybe you really don't have to sign this paper." "Maybe Konovalov will do?" "Your deputy." "Who on earth needs those references?" "Who will read them?" "Volvos are good cars." "We are exporting them." "It is just wonderful that there is cooperation between our countries." "And I would like to make a deal with you." "Sure, I don't want any misunderstandings." "Golden words." "Two days ago, I have bought a winter coat for my mother." "I want you to give this present to my mother." "Just as a present from you." "But it will be not honestly, not good." "It will be good." "It will be much worse if I will give her this present." "She will get a lot of questions." "But in our culture people don't give winter clothes as presents during summer." "But we do." "You should be prepared for winter even in summer." "This is our small national peculiarity." "Maybe your mother will not like me." "You are such a silly boy!" "She loves you already!" "This is my mother." "This is Edward." "Yes." "I wish your house always to be preposterous, er, prosperous." "Come in, please." "I don't remember it anymore." "Lyalka." "Tanechka used to play rather well earlier." "So, what are you saying about the robots?" "We started to produce robots for fishing." "I'm participating in it's construction." "Really?" "The robot casts the hook into the water and when the fish bites, the hook catches automatically." "The robot will pull the line in and out until the fish gets tired." "Then all it has to do is to pull out the fish." "It's time." "Did you understand everything?" "Yes." "Go and call Edik and keep my mother in there." "take it please." "Go, go, don't hasitate." "Edward, Tanya is calling you for one minute." "How do you like him?" "Very good!" "So you like?" "He is good-looking." "Dear Alla.." "Sergeyevna." "I know.." "Dear Alla Sergeyevna." "You as the mother of my future wife, I want to give you a present." "Here you are." "Thank you Edward, I'm very thankful to you." "But you shouldn't do this." "And what's inside?" "Why are you asking?" "Just open it." "Shall we open and have a look?" "What a beauty." "Mama, it suits you so wonderful!" "Very nice." "Edik, how have you guessed, it's exactly what is needed." "You both lost your minds." "You really lost your minds." "Hostess!" ".. medical assistant!" "dear.." "Hi Tanyusha." "Hi." "Where have you disappeared?" "Oh, isn't it too early for you to hit the bottle?" "Now I am allowed to do everything." "Have you hooked someone?" "No, I was hooked by someone... for 10 days." "For 1500 for 10 days." "Not bad, eh?" "And the cops have not found out?" "Greenbacks." "The most interesting thing is, that for the cops I'm non-existant." "They take everyone but me." "It's not even fair." "Maybe somebody from above pulled some strings on our guys?" "I think so, too." "My client is.. he has some interesting deal with our fleat for about 70 millions." "I think, their chiefs have realized it and ordered our guys..." "For this amount of money, they'll let him fuck all the Leningrad prostitutes, rather than having him stop the contract." "That's economic policy for you.." "Maybe you will also be rewarded." "Yes, as if." "Oh, my purse is coming here." "This is my friend, Tatyana." "Very nice to meet you." "He is asking if he could give you a lift?" "No, thanks, I live nearby." "Thanks." "Don't you want to involve him in this business?" "No." "Have you forgotten that I've been in prison all this time under article 88?" "And I have my mother in Pskov, she is ill, my father as well." "I have a daughter, who will finish school next year." "Your daughter is already such a big girl?" "Oh my God." "And what did you think?" "I'm almost 40." "I'm just doing my best to look younger." "Who will need me after 40?" "Don't say so." "Oh my God." "I'm so sick and tired of all of you." ""I dreamt of autumn with the dim light coming through the windows,"" ""My friends, and you among them"" ""And like a falcon from the sky, who has caught some prey,"" ""The heart was sliding down into your hand."" "Tanya, why are you peeking in the book?" "10 years ago you knew all that book by heart." "Oh, an old lady remembered her childhood." "Edik.. so wonderful." "How did you come to this?" "I have asked a russian immigrant what is best to bring as a present from Stockholm to Russia." "He told me:" "Pasternak, Visotsky, Tsvetayeva." "So I went and bought." "Just went and bought?" "Yes." "Edik." "How is it possible?" "I want to make a toast for our mother." "Me too." "May I now start calling you mama?" "Sure, sure!" "Edik, last time I was in a restaurant was around 20 years ago." "How is that possible?" "I don't know." "Stockholm is a beautiful place." "Mama can come to visit us." "I have never been abroad before." "Not even to Rumania." "Why?" "God knows." "Thank you." "Why is it, that in front of the camera you are always shy?" "No, you look so natural, but I'm not." "But Lyalka is a real beauty." "Look.So beautiful." "You dress looks luxurious." "Yes, I did my best." "Mama, let's go downstairs and wait for Edik there." "Let's go." "Tanechka, where is the toilet?" "There, upstairs." "Go, I will wait for you." "Good." "Hallo Tanya-san." "Do you remember me?" "No, excuse me." "I see you for the first time in my life." "During the whole year I couldn't forget those days, we spent together." "Maybe you mix me with someone else?" "During the days I'm on the fur auction, but the rest of my time is only for you." "I live here." "In the hotel Europe." "Here is my card." "I will wait for your call." "Hi Tanya." "Hi girl." "Who are you?" "I'm Liza - rabbit." "Have you heard about me?" "Oh, of course." "Hi." "Tanya, we all know you and respect you a lot." "But our girls asked to tell you not to come here anymore." "Let everybody have his own garden." "Why do you need troubles?" "I have checked this out." "They have cheated us with the bill again." "Meet my friend, please." "This is my mother, Alla Sergeyevna and this is my husband, Edward Larson." "Rabbit." "Nice to meet you." "What a strange name does she have." "Rabbit?" "Mama, it is not a name, it is a nickname." "What?" "I will explain it later." "Come this way." "When and where was your husband born?" "Your father?" "Like hell he is my father." "In Sestrovedsk." "Yes?" "And when did he die?" "God beware." "Maybe he is still alive." "Ok. take some calming medicine and go to bed." "Ok?" "I will call you in the morning." "Good night." "Who is out there on duty?" "No one." "Everybody is sleeping." "There are no seriously ill patients." "Wow.. and what is the occasion?" "Do you like it?" "Yes, it's nice." "Take it." "No, are you kidding me?" "Take it." "A handsome man should have good-looking things." "Tanya, from where did you get all of it?" "What are we celebrating?" "Lyalka, go and open that jar, take the plastic bag out of it and try the stuff on." "I think it is your size." "Oh, Tanyka." "Such nice slippers." "But your feet will not sweat in them?" "A royal present." "Lyalya, happy birthday to you!" "I wish you happinness." "And I wish you to enter University this year." "Congratulations." "Oh, but my birthday is in January, but now it is only September." "Right." "But I will not be here in January." "And where will you be?" "You will be on vacation?" "I'm going to Sweden." "Exactly, or maybe to Brasil?" "No, to Stockholm." "I don't understand." "Are you going permanently?" "Yes." "What is not clear here?" "Our Tatyana Zaitseva is getting married." "Got married." "Yes." "And is moving permanently to live at her husband's place." "So, Sergeyevna, pour liquor in the glasses and we will toast for the beginning of my new life." "Married a foreigner." "And you kept it secret from us." "When did you manage to hook him?" "Why to hook?" "Aren't the foreigners people?" "What is the difference?" "A big difference!" "Didn't she have enough of our guys?" "Oh, and what is your business?" "The foreigners are not like our guys." "They are with good manners and they are rich." "And how do you know?" "I know." "Go to the Palace Square and have a look." "There are plenty of them there." "Neatly dressed, with cameras." "And our guys don't have cameras?" "During Stalin's times this did not happen." "Yes, We were poor, but like one family and with honesty." "But nowadays we are rich but no longer honest." "And why are you talking about Stalin?" "As soon as he died his daughter married a foreigner and moved abroad." "It's not true." "It couldn't have happened." "Nowadays everybody is telling bad things about Stalin." "Let's at least be glad that our Tanyka is not getting married to a German." "That's true." "Germans reached Stalingrad during war, but Swedes reached only Poltava." "Did you meet your Swede in Poltava?" "OK, the history lesson is over." "Pour some more into our glasses." "It is also good to eat something while drinking." "Excuse me please." "I think Ivan Afanasyevich died over there." "You don't have all the necessary documents in order to start the procedure, Tatyana Nikolayevna." "Why not?" "Let us check together." "Ok." "The forms in triplicate," "Yes." "A document from your job." "Yes." "The references, the invitation to Sweden," "The agreement of your mother, Zaitseva Alla Sergeyevna is officially registered by the notary," "Yes." "And where is the agreement of your father?" "Which father?" "All my life I lived with my mother and I don't have any father." "Tatyana Nikolayevna.." "Children are usually being conceived with the help of a man." "You gonna explain me now, how children are born?" "So, you have to give us the agreement of your father, oficially registered by notary, in his presence there," "That he doesn't have any economical objections to you leaving abroad, and gives his parental agreement." "Oh my God.." "Are you crazy?" "He has not lived with us for more than 20 years now." "It has always been only my mother who was supporting our family." "You understand that during all those 20 years we haven't seen any single penny from him?" "Don't you believe me?" "I do believe you, but the document is needed." "Ok." "But what if he died?" "Hallo." "Hallo." "Hallo." "Doctor, come in, please." "I've been told that you will come only in the afternoon." "I'm not the doctor." "I need Zaitsev Nikolay Platonovich." "So, then you are from social welfare!" "I am Zaitsev Nikolay Platonovich." "Stasik, why are you scared?" "The lady is nice." "Calm down." "Nastenka, take Stasik and go and play in another room so that you will not scare your mother." "Go, go." "Meanwhile I will talk to this lady in the kitchen." "Lyusenka, this is not a doctor, this is a comrade from a social welfare." "Are you really Zaitsev Nikolay Platonovich?" "You want to see my pass?" "Wait a moment..." "No... thanks...it's not needed." "Come in, please." "What is the matter with your legs?" "Why?" "You know well!" "I have arthritis." "You pay me a handicapped pension!" "You are from social welfare, aren't you?" "No." "I'm not from social welfare." "Interesting.." "So, where are you from then?" "Why don't you get some dental work done?" "Daughter?" "!" "I don't have time for the dentist." "Though since I'm a handicapped of the second category, they should do it free of charge." "That is why you don't shave?" "No." "I don't shave only at home." "But at my work or among the people, I'm always shaven." "Do you work?" "Sure!" "Care-taker in a tram depot." "One day and one night working and then 3 days off." "It's very convenient." "It's pure luck that I'm handicapped with the right for work." "So, we are actually living rather well." "Yes, I see." "The most important thing it to cure Lyusenka." "Otherwise she is only lying in bed, after she gave birth to Stasik." "The doctors say, it is something in her brain." "How is mama?" "What is your business with her?" "Well, just asking." "Listen, I'm getting married." "Congratulations, daughter!" "First of all I'm not a daughter of you." "Secondly, your congratulations to me are like a pair of glasses for an ass." "Thirdly, I'm getting married to a foreigner and moving abroad." "The only thing needed from you is to sign the document at notary's, that you don't have any economical objections to me and don't mind against me going abroad." "Are you crazy?" "Which objections could I have?" "Wow.. abroad!" "?" "But that means that you are leaving your motherland forever?" "Your motherland... but what about your mother?" "Have you thought about her?" "Have you thought a lot about her?" "We can't speak without some toast." "Would you like to drink with me?" "I don't drink." "That's good, daughter." "But this is my own moonshine." "I made it." "Pure sugar." "Can you imagine?" "A stick of yeast and no chemical rubbish." "When will we meet again?" "Ok, pour some." "Ok, daddy, let's drink." "Yes." "Let's drink, Nikolay Platonovich Zaitsev." "Because you, son of a bitch, old horny bastard, left us 23 years ago and not a single time you have wondered.." "How your wife, Alla Sergeyevna, is doing or your daughter, Tatyana Nikolaevna." "Let's drink that smelly drink of yours for that you have created 2 more kids but haven't be able to support them." "And that at least towards the end of your pointless life, they may become normal people and your wife may recover." "Why don't you drink?" "Drink, you wanted to." "What does it matter, what you drink for?" "Why are you all so cruel, comrades?" "!" "Comrades?" "!" "The wolf from Tambov is your comrade." "Get dressed and we will go to the notary." "Why?" "What why?" "You have to approve that you don't have economical objections to me and don't mind against me leaving." "But what if I have?" "Economical objections?" "What?" "You have them towards me?" "Yes." "What did you say?" "So what did you say?" "I will kill you.." "You will not go anywhere." "In our life we should pay for everything, Tatyana!" "How much?" "Well, it depends." "How much?" "What?" "3 rubles?" "or 30 rubles?" "or 300 rubles?" "3 thousand rubles." "Papa.. papa, mama wants to the toilet to take a dump, but I have Stasik, who is crying." "Go, my little children, go into the other room, wait for one moment." "Otherwise I will have to clean after her later on, wash the linen." "Ecxuse me, please." "Lyuisenka, one moment, I have to follow a comrade from social welfare to the door." "Oh my God." "What a luck that you dissappeared from our family 23 years ago." "I don't have money." "All my savings are converted into obligations at 3 %." "There will be a lottery in 2 weeks." "I can not take a risk." "Kisulya, help me, please." "Don't you have any dough?" "Last year you were working a lot with the clients!" "From where could I have the dough?" "I'm not saving as you do." "I had only 14 thousands." "I gave you 7 000 for that fur coat, 2 000 I kept for myself for some shoppings before my trip," "5 000 I put on my mother's bank account." "She has to live off something when I will be gone." "So, Now I have only 1500 and nothing else." "It is no longer possible to withdraw money from the savings account." "In the hospital nobody has an extra ruble to spare." "Girls, Simka, you know me." "As soon as I will move abroad, I will be able to give your money back." "Tanyusha, that's not a point." "All the money I have is in foreign currency." "I haven't been changing it for ages." "One of the guys who changed it for me, was arrested and now I'm very much afraid as well." "A second guy will most probably be arrested soon as well." "I have no rubles now at all." "I have bought a car and had to pay 4000 extra over its price." "But where?" "Where will I get him so much money?" "Why are you shaking like a pig on a noose?" "Why are you begging?" "Can't you earn them yourself?" "There is a exhibition for medical equipment with participants from all over the world." "There is a fur action." "There is plenty of work in the town." "And you are showing yourself to be an orphan." "You have been married." "Madame Larson." "Are you crazy?" "If the cops will come for me just once I will lose everything!" "But who is suggesting you to go back to the hotel?" "Take the key from this apartament, pay to us 50 rubles per day and work right here." "We are ready to sacrifice with everything for our friend!" "Girls, I'm going to the kitchen to make some koffee." "That means that I will pay you 50 rubles per day for the appartament but you will pay 200 rubles per month for it?" "You have an emergency after all." "We say "a spoon towards dinner time is more expensive"" "And who will exchange my currency into rubles?" "I can buy currency from you." "Fuck.." "Oh my God, what will I tell to my mother?" "and to Edward?" "You know, in our country a medical worker is obliged to work in case of an emergency as he is affiliated to the army." "It has always been like that here, I'm sorry that it happened exactly today." "I'm afraid whether it has something to do with the political atmosphere nowadays." "Don't worry mama, in our country it works the same way." "Even the policemen should go back to work in case of an emergency." "I love Tanya very much." "Oh, that is my flight." "Tell Tanya to call me in Stockholm." "Good bye." "Good bye." "See you." "Good bye." "Have a nice trip." "Where is she?" "Look into my eyes!" "Where is she, I'm asking you!" "Don't switch on the lights." "I don't drink." "As you wish." "I don't understand, Tanya-san." "Your friends pulled me out from the action and told me that there's an emergency!" "Yes,an alert." "Which alert?" "Tanya-san, I'm calm." "But what is the matter with you?" "The mysterious Russian soul." "By the way, doesn't your wife satisfy you?" "Sure, I have a wonderful wife." "Then why, as soon as you come here, you behave as if you finally got freedom and immediately visit us?" "I have never had such a woman like you." "You don't have to believe me." "But after our very first meeting I have been only thinking about you all the time." "And I understood..." "What have you understood?" "I understood that you need money very much." "How much do you need?" "3 000 rubles." "But I don't have rubles." "How much is it in dollars?" "Divide by 4." "750." "Maybe you want more?" "No.. just 750." "Tanya-san.. take as much as you need and I will go." "Tanya..." "Tanechka, is it you?" "How are you?" "Have you been fucked to death?" "Listen, Lyalka had to lie for you everywhere: at home and at work." "750 bucks are over there lying on the table." "I didn't even touch them." "So, this is already something new..." "Get up, get up." "Tanya, stand up, hold yourself!" "Madame Larson." "What a disaster.." "More.. more. oh, good girl." "Wash her stomach once more." "How do you like it?" "First she is like an innocent girl not drinking a single drop of alkohol, but here suddenly she got herself drunk!" "OK, take the dough, here is excactly 2000." "Why divided by 3 and not by 4?" "You told me that you will buy my currency at a normal price?" "Aren't you satisfied?" "Search yourself for other currency exchangers then." "I need 3000." "But you did say that you have at home 1500 rubles more." "So, add 1000 of your own money and you will get 3000." "You are really ripping me off." "But would you prefer that I would buy from you 4 rubles to 1 dollar and sell it 4 rubles to 1 dollar?" "This is not worse doing it!" "You are allowed to float pissed in my bathtub yet I should risk my freedom for you?" "Kisulya, your are not acting fair." "We are friends, aren't we!" "?" "And the state is not your enemy, Tanka." "When all the prices are rising according to the will of the labourers, you don't mind, do you?" "Don't ask them to sell cheaper!" "Come on, don't quarrel, girls." "A mess is a mess anywhere." "You are my 2 grey mice, my hares from the country." "After only a few years they already have their own car, apartment, bought a residence permit, lots of dough..." "While I, the native city dweller am only opening my mouth, they are already eating the best piece." "Stop it, Tanka." "Why did you start it?" "Damn..." "I just would like to earn around 10-15 thousands, move to a little town, where no one knows me, get married with a doctor, or an engineer.." "Yes a combine driver, a tractor driver..." "It doesn't matter." "The most important thing is that he would have to be a calm and kind person." "And to give birth to a child." "I'm so sick and tired of everything!" "You are a native city dweller.. but this, like the frenchmen say, is a big difference." "Have you noticed that in our business, there are much more provincial people than people like you, real Moscow or Leningrad city dwellers?" "You know why it's like that?" "Because you have your parents beside you, you have a roof over your head.." "But we, who came from Vologda, Novgorod.." "Cherepovets.." "Yes, from Cherepovets." "We don't have anyone to count on." "We need to do our best to survive." "But nobody will even ask - have you been eating today?" "But you have always had a piece of bread with butter at home." "And we had to do really a lot in order to have something to eat in the big city and to look decent." "Be blessed, provincials!" "If somebody would look at us, whores, prostitutes, intergirls, from the side.. who of us is the most clever?" "Who of us is the most cunning?" "And who of us is the most greedy?" "Girls, provincials, and you are also willing to get a good education.My two Lomonosovs." "Where was Zinka when she went to prison on article 88 charges?" "From the 5th year of the philosophical faculty." "Sim, and you also are one of our great scientists?" "Who were you in that physical training college?" "Master of sports?" "Candidate." "Candidate?" "Too bad." "Kisulya, I want to ask you, this diploma of yours, from the University of culture, does it help your when you are in bed with a client?" "As the final conclusion, how convenient is it to have a diploma in your bed?" "You woke up.." "Started to talk.." "So.. are you taking money or not?" "Tanka, come here, faster, I have already typed out everything." "Tatyana, but money first." "Damn..here.. you can count them later on." "Excuse me..." "Hurry up, papa, hurry up." "Why are they skipping the cue?" "Who is skipping the cue?" "They did!" "Who is skipping the cue?" "You yourself are skipping the cue, old witch." "Don't leave me, my girl." "I'll remain here all by myself." "Mama, I'm not moving away from you.." "I'm moving away from myself." "Stay.." "We are living a lie." "I'm lying, you know that I'm lying.." "I know that you know... but I continue to lie.." "And you are pretending to believe me." "And this is already lie." "I'm sick and tired." "We say one thing and think something else.. sick and tired." "My darling, it all depends on ourselves." "Stop it." "we are poor, me and you, and we are proud of it." "That's all." "Hallo." "Hi." "Hi Bella." "Hallo Tanya." "How are you?" "Fine, thanks. and you?" "Fine, thanks." "What do you want, the usual?" "Yes and for you?" "Oh, thanks a lot." "Are you gonna call Edward?" "Yes." "Hallo." "Mister Larson?" "..." "Yes.." "I would be very pleased, if you today, mister Larson, would come home earlier." "Yes.. no, no, the lights went out in the garage and I almost hit my face." "Yes.. health is more important." "Yes." "Come home earlier today, ok?" "I'm very bored." "Bye bye." "Why are you laughing?" "It sounds so funny when you speak russian." "Bye bye." "Bye bye." "Martin, what does this guy want?" "He is trying to speak German, but only in South Afrika people would be able to understand him." "Calm down.. what seems to be the problem?" "Oh, you speak Russian so well!" "I'm a gifted girl.." "Where are you from?" "I'm from Leningrad." "And you are from Sweden?" "Yes, something of the kind." "What street are you from?" "You probably don't know.." "Dibenko street" "Number?" "What does it matter?" "Just curious.." "The number is 32?" "Yes.." "So, it's because of you that I could never reach my building normally!" "Was parking his truck occupying the whole road, as if he was the only person in town." "From the Soviet Union we are exporting wood, georgian wine, polyethylene, peat." "But from you we are importing metal powder, rear windows with heating for Ladas," "Safety belts, parts for volvo trucks, beer, cigarettes and some similar stuff." "Do you often come to Sweden?" "Around 20 times per year." "Can you imagine, me and Viktor lived in the same building in Leningrad!" "Yes, do you remember, we could hardly come into our building because of his truck." "Excuse me, I have to go." "I have to be in Gothenburg very soon." "Wait a moment.. wait please." "Would you like..." "No, thanks." "The bag is for my mother and there is something in it for Lyalka." "And now.. what size does your wife have?" "I have no idea." "Why?" "What does she look like?" "Thin, thick, tall, short?" "She is like you." "So wonderful!" "Here are trousers." "I bought them recently and did not yet wear them." "I feel embarassed." "You are so silly and you are having cold years." "Why do you have to spend your small amounts of currency all here, when for me it is no problem at all?" "Well, I understand that illegal sellers in Leningrad sell all of this as well, but they charge much more for it." "And this shirt." "Ok?" "Imagine,. when she will put everything on!" "Yes, in the Soviet Union it is impossible to buy it.. take it, Viktor." "Keep it." "I will follow him." "Bye bye.. thank you." "Tell me, how do you like it here?" "Your Swede seems to be a decent guy." "Give that bag to my mother and tell her that everything is very good with me." "Why aren't you eating anything?" "On my new job, they raised my salary." "Edinka.. so now we can afford a tour to the Soviet Union." "Maybe it would be better for us to make some more payments for our house?" "No, no we already putting it off for a long time, our trip to Leningrad." "We could have gone to the Soviet Union if we hadn't bought a car for you." "Oh my God.. but I was hoping so much.." "And one more thing.." "It is not pleasant for me to tell you, but I should." "I asked you not to invite strangers into our house." "Not all of us can understand your russian soul." "This is true." "You are right." "As if it is not nice to invite people to your place, in your country." "At home in Leningrad I wouldn't even have thought twice about whether I should invite someone to my place or not." "You are wild." "To hell with all your national traditions." "You know what?" "You have your own national traditions, and I have my own." "Your tradition is not to save money." "You are spending too much money." "Am I?" "Yes." "But you should count the money." "Your salary per month is more than 20.000 crowns." "Is it little?" "Ok, I will explain you now." "First, more than half of my salary goes to taxes." "Then part of it is spent for food." "Every month we are paying a certain amount for the house, and for your car," "Look, how much is left." "What will happen tomorrow?" "I will also not sit at home anymore." "I don't want to." "A Russian diploma is not valid here." "In order to work as a doctor's assistant you are supposed to have a swedish diploma." "It will take you at least one year to study and knowledge of the language is very important." "You should speak swedish fluently." "I'm willing to take any job." "But most preferable is in a hospital." "I will try to find something for you." "Oh, excuse me.." "Can't you see that we are talking?" "You yourself got your eyes in your ass." "Bitch." "Oh, baby, where are you from?" "From Moscow. and you?" "From Leningrad." "You are lucky, you being loved." "But I have payed everything to my swedish guy in order to marry me and take me here." "Then we came here, divorced and then it started..." "I've got registered by the police." "That's what men are like." "Over there they are foreigners, but here...." "They pay very little, like the dog's tears." "We Russians here are like second class." "I support myself by getting welfare." "Are you getting enough?" "That is not the point." "I'm lonely here, you see?" "Just me and no one else nearby." "Maybe you should better go back?" "It will be the same there as here." "No way out." "Here it at least life better." "Maybe I should go to Hamburg?" "They say,." "Russian girls are popular there." "Where is your blessed democracy?" "I've been suggested some kind of work.." "If it will work out, I'll get enough money for the rest of my life." "What kind of work?" "I haven't decided whether I should agree to do this or not." "But if it will work out, then!" "Alla Sergeyevna, Tanya also asked me to tell you that everything is going perfect with her." "Thank you, Victor..." "Such a pleasant surprise." "So unbelievable that you have just been in Tanya's place." "Oh, she has such a luxurious house." "It has at least 5 rooms." "When will you go back to Stockholm?" "The 19th I will have my truck loaded, but on the 22nd I will be already there." "Then I will prepare a letter for her right away." "It is strictly forbidden" "Forbidden?" "Such are the rules." "We are not allowed to bring any letters or things." "Everything should go by mail." "But I will not seal the envelope, they are allowed to read." "That is not the point." "If it's needed they can open the envelope." "You better tell me and I will tell her everything you told me." "Strange.." "This is Lyalechka, excuse me." "Hallo Alla Sergeyevna." "Hi Lyalechka, come in." "I came for just one moment." "Very good." "This is Victor." "Hi." "Just from sweden." "Hallo." "He Has been at Tanya's place." "Oh, how is she doing?" "Very well." "I'm so happy for her." "Lyalya, you are just in time." "Here is a present for you from Tanya." "Oh, thanks a lot, I will open it later." "Alla Sergeyevna, do you have an iron?" "Mine is completely broken." "But my flight is in 3 hours." "I will go to the South, to Adler." "On vacation?" "Yes, every now and then I need a little rest." "Send her my greetings and kiss her from me, ok?" "I will." "Yes.." "I will give it back later." "Beautiful girl." "Yes, how she grew up quickly." "To Adler.." "Where did she get that much money from?" "Tell Tanya, that Alla Sergeyevna is absolutely alone here." "She is just drying out." "Tanya is enjoying her wealth there, but her mother is absolutely alone." "For weeks she is sitting inside her house and not going out." "Isn't she working?" "She had to quit her job." "How is she supporting herself then?" "She took some private students, so she earns something." "But that is not the point." "She clearly has lost the purpose of her life." "And strangely, she is burning a candle in the middle of the day." "It is for Tanya, so that everything will go well for her." "She has bad premonitions." "Ok, I will tell her everything." "So, how is it in Sweden?" "Are they rotting there?" "In the begining it is always fun, but later on you get used to it." "Listen, you know, could you buy for me batteries for my watch?" "Mine is old." "I will do my best." "And I will give you the dough." "The dough?" "What shall I do with it?" "I mean, soviet rubles." "Yes." "Nonsense." "The doctor said that I'm all right, we have to get you checked." "Can't we wait some more time?" "Since there is this situation, no children, both of us should be checked." "We haven't been together for so long yet.." "Please, don't.." "I'm so tired today." "Well, what else... your neighbours are in the summer cottage." "Yes.." "They are busy with their garden.." "Yes, I know." "Their daughter flew to the South." "Lyalka?" "Wow.." "Beautiful girl." "Lyalka flew to the South..can you imagine.." "What else did mother say?" "Mama?" "Well, she misses you, but all the rest is good." "Are you hiding something from me, Vitya?" "No, it's true." "What kind of a watch do you have?" "Ours, from Leningrad." "Do you like it?" "Yes.. maybe we can exchange watches?" "Are you crazy?" "You think I don't know how much does this thing cost?" "For me, this present is..." "This is not a present for you, this I need, this is a present for me." "You are for me like Liteyny, like Sadovaya, like all of our district in Leningrad." "Tanya, I can not possibly have so much money." "No, no.. have you forgotten our rules?" "Would you like to have anything else?" "This is real russian bread, would you like to taste?" "No, thanks." "1 loaf of cigarettes please, and 10 lighters in different colours." "Ok, thanks." "Oh, maybe you would like some more coffee?" "No, thanks." "I have to go." "I have to drive 500 km till Gothenburg." "I won't give you anything for my mother because I hope I will soon be able to come myself." "I cast a bag into your car, could you give it to my father, please?" "There are warm socks inside, medicine from arthritis, some small things for his children, ok?" "I wrote their address there." "Vitya, sorry that I'm asking you so many things to do." "It's just, that you are the only one I have..." "I mean... you understand..." "Oh, hell with you." "That's all." "Where have you been earlier, Vitya?" "And you?" "I was in such deep shit that it is better not to remember about it." "So don't remember." "Once in a while I'm reminded." "You hooligan!" "Switch off the vacuum cleaner." "I'm a stupid fool." "Because you married me?" "Do you believe me?" "If I wouldn't love you so much.." "Then you would understand everything." "What would I understand?" "You would understand that nothing happened." "I'm absolutely lonely here." "Can you answer my question... where have you.." "No.." "I'm not lying." "You ought to believe me." "Put your credit card on the table." "I'm sick and tired of everything." "By the way, in Leningrad I used to earn my own money and spent it how I wanted to." "I know what kind of money did you earn there." "That is why you can not have children." "Oh my God, Tatyana." "I only yesterday remembered you, even wanted to call you." "Something has happened?" "May I sleep at your place?" "Oh God, of course!" "Sorry, I'm leaving now, I have to catch my flight in time." "Remember, I told you." "It's about this business." "Excuse me, Tanyusha.. when you will leave, throw the key into the letterbox, ok?" "Excuse me." "Don't be sad, Tanyuha, if everything in this affair will go as planned, I will celebrate it with you!" "Help yourself." "We especially ordered this." "Maybe I could get some wine?" "In our culture, we only pretend that we are drinking." "But in our culture we pretend that we are not drinking." "This Russian prostitute is rather good-looking, isn't she?" "Did you also have sex with her in Leningrad?" "Sure." "And how is she in bed?" "I've got sick and tired of her." "Tanya, did you like our present?" "Yes, thank you." "Glass holders from plain iron, but very well crafted." "Thanks. a lot." "What kind of job did you have in Russia?" "I was a doctor's assistent." "You haven't yet exchanged your Russian passport for a Swedish one?" "No, why?" "With a Russian passport it will be much easier for me to visit my motherland." "I haven't seen my mother for ages. and also, I'm Russian." "But your children will anyway be Swedes." "We will see about that, who will win." "Surprise for everyone.. but especially for Edward and his beautiful wife." "The Russians have again asked us to take part in an exhibition in Leningrad and this time Edward will be the head of the delegation." "I'm very glad to tell you such news." "I'm very glad that you like it." "I wil go and change." "What are you doing?" "Go away." "I'm changing my clothes." "Go away." "I want you." "I will pay you." "I will pay you even more than I used to pay you in Leningrad." "Do you remember how much I used to pay you there?" "You are here, in my country because of me." "You owe it to me that you are here." "I put you underneath Edward, bitch." "Do you reme,ber, what you were?" "a whore!" "Madame Larson." "Let me go.. you bastard.." "You, horny bastard..." "Listen to me attentively and repeat after me." "You went inside the house in order to fetch some mineral water," "You got dizzy and you collapsed and hit yourself." "And you don't remember anything else." "Repeat, I tell you, bastard, otherwise I will shoot you!" "I don't have anything to lose." "You came into the house to fetch mineral water." "You got dizzy..." "You collapsed and hit yourself." "You don't remember anything else." "Good boy." "And now, close your smelly trousers and start rehearsing." "But I will cure you." "See you tonight." "Bye bye." "Hallo." "Hi." "Hallo." "Hi." "How is your head?" "Still a headache?" "Not at all." "But Edward is worried because of you." "Why?" "Do you know why Edward does no longer want to be sent to Leningrad to represent us at the exhibition?" "What do you mean, he is not going?" "He is the head of the department and he has to work." "This is his theory." "But in reality, the director's meeting has made the decision.." "That they couldn't allow our company to be represented by a person whose wife has a questionable reputation." "Couldn't you yourself tell me this?" "Ed, try to understand, he is the only thread connecting me to my mother." "Everything is gonna be all right." "Ok. but don't be too long, please." "Comrade, comrade, where is Viktor?" "The wolf from Tambov is your comrade." "Hi." "It's Bella." "I think you ought to come and pick up Tanya." "I think she should be brouught home." "Bye bye." "Don't you want to talk to me?" "See, I'm Russian." "Russian?" "Yes." "And why don't you like me?" "Keeping silence?" "Right." "One more question." "Do you want that Russia will prosper?" "Do you want that or not?" "Funny." "So, you don't want?" "!" "Why not?" "But I know, why." "But I won't tell you." "Why are you living?" "You live in order to eat, to drink.." "Do you have a mama?" "A mama." "A mama?" "No, I don't have a mama." "But I do have a mama." "You are listening to the criminal reports." "The Hamburg police arrested the former soviet citizen, Vera Gustavson." "Inside her car a big amount of heroin was found, worth several million crowns." "The police knows that Vera Gustavson lives in Sweden, and is a prostitute." "Idiot." "Tanya, let's go home." "Please, let's go.." "Go away, Edinka." "What are you doing, Tanya, let's go." "Leave me alone." "Do you think that I love you?" "Oh, you don't love me, you only tolerate me like a wound." "People, get acquainted, this is my sweet fucking Swede." "I saw my mother in my dreams tonight." "She was standing in one of Stockholm's backyards, in a queue." "Waiting to get a visa." ""I want to live with you." "Help me" she said." "I came towards her with bare feet." "I told her "Wait a moment, I will just put on my shoes and come back"." "And she disappeared." "What is happening to me?" "Hallo..." "Leningrad?" ".. mama?" ".. mammy?" "Tanka, it's me, hi." "Listen to me carefully." "They arrested Kisulya with currency" "And she told them that this money is yours." "Such a bitch she is." "So stay where you are and don't even try to come here or they will arrest you." "But, Sima, it is all a misunderstanding, you know, it's not true." "I will come and explain everything." "No, stay where you are." "That's all." "Bye." "Ed, .." "Ed!" "What has happened?" "I should immediately go to Leningrad." "I'm asking you what has happened?" "The police arrested Kisulya with currency." "She was selling dollars for rubles and she told them that those dollars were mine." "I need a tour to the Soviet Union for 5-6 days only." "Immediately." "I will explain them everything."
