"Her husband saved the family from being ruined." "He made her a princess, a trendsetter." "He didn'tjust love her, he worshipped her." "He was proud of her." "And suddenly that Onegin shows up." "And nobody knows where he was all that time." "Why nobody knows?" "He was traveling." "Alright, he was traveling." "Why does she have to leave everything and to come to him?" "The first love is the strongest." "Yeah." "But that's not a reason to betray someone who takes care of you." "You know, Dasha, can one betray trust?" "And you write in your essay:" ""Tatiana shouldn't have declined Onegin"." "And then you are surprised you get "O" for that." "Daria Mikhailova" "But this is my opinion." "My attitude." "Andrei Panin" "Then it wasn't persuasive." "Mom, you wouldn't leave my father, would you?" "Even for his first love?" "Your father?" "I am lucky with that." "He is my first love." "Are you all right?" "Yes." "in" ""kiss NOT FOR THE PRESS"" "Where is my daughter?" "Don't worry, she's okay." " This is my first time here." " lt's my first time too." "What are we gonna do?" "We have the whole two days." "Walking." "Look, there was a guy at the eighth row, he gave me his number." "You make friends with passengers?" "No, I don't make any friends." "It's been two years and nothing, and now..." "And now you have his number?" "Oall him then." "You call him, I'm too shy." "Why me?" "He gave the number to you, not me." " Please." " What am I gonna say?" ""Hi, I am instead of the girl you gave the number to."" "Please, call him." "Tell him you are me." "I have never asked you anything in my life." "Nina, listen, get up, get up." "I called the guy." "He is happy." "He's waiting for you at Nevskiy prospect." "Near Gostiny Dvor, at six o'clock." "Really?" "And you?" "What about me?" "When I called I said it was you." "I have to go alone?" "Of course." " l can't go alone." " Are you crazy?" "Oome on, get dressed!" "Tania, you know, let's go together." " No, no." " lt will be our date." "Are you crazy?" "I can't." "What if it's my destiny?" "And you will deprive me of that." "Let's go together." "And after that we'll think of something." "Okay, I'll walk you, and then we'll see." "Okay!" " Want some?" " No." " Hello." " Good evening." "Good evening." "Sorry I came." "I'm just very tired. I want to look at the city for a while and then I'll leave." "I thought we could look at the city tomorrow." "Nina said you came for two days here." "And what are you planning to do today?" " l wanted to go to watch Raikin's show." " Raikin's show?" "What about the tickets?" "I've got the tickets." "Actually my friend's got them." "But he's always late." "And he's gonna be late for the show?" "He's a very interesting man." "He is always late, but he's always in time." "Here he is." "Let me introduce you, Alexander." "And this is Nina and Tania." "Hi." "And he's got the tickets." "But there are a little less than we need." "About two times less than we need." "Then you can go together." "Nina, I told you, I am a theatre figure." "Tania, I hope you believe me." "I am a trusting girl actually." "Then let them use the tickets, and we'll try another way." " ls it good?" " Yes, it is." " Really?" " Sure." "This way." "On the left side you can see Gostiny Dvor..." "You'll start stutter if you only see him." "The main goal is to give birth." "When you did, just say "Thank you"." "Let's take me for example." "I started drinking, smoking and talking at the same time." "Nobody taught me." "Where were you?" "I didn't see you anywhere." "Me and the theatre figure were sitting under the roof on one leg." "You can sit at my seat after the break." "Oan I sit on one leg too?" "I've never tried that before." "Okay, and now the theatre figure treats you with champagne." "Let's specify first." "Do you have a dry one?" "Sasha is an aesthete." "I like dry one too." "And what about Nina?" "She prefers demi-doux?" "Take it." "Sasha, pay for that." "We know everything about Vadim, he is a big man in theatre." "And what do you do, Sasha?" "I'm just a sambo coach." "It's convenient to walk at night." "He can break any thug's neck." "By the way, a joke about fractures." "Brezhnev is reading a report." ""O-o-o-o-o"." "The reviewer comes to him and says: "These are the Olympic rings." "The text is below."" "Are you all right?" "Nina." "What happened?" " Tania, it's terrible." " What?" "I think I'm in love." "That's great, isn't it?" "No, it isn't." "That's great. I liked the guy." "But what about you?" "And I will suffer alone." "Stop it, I'm serious." "I think I will be your bridesmaid." "You think it's possible?" "Yes, I'm sure." "What car did she have?" "Volkswagen." "It's good it wasn't Zhiguli." "We would be heading to morgue then." "If you get tired of being a sambo coach, you could be a travel guide." "Now I think I know Leningrad better than my city." "And I can find the way by myself." "What way?" "At 10 pm?" "It's a secret." "I could invite you somewhere, but I'm afraid everything's closed." "Well, yes." " Are you hungry?" " Honestly?" "Very much." "Let's buy some bread." "Bread?" "Then let's hurry." "There's a bakery not far from here. lt will close soon." " Here you are." " Thank you." "What nice Leningrad's bread!" "I have never eaten bread like this." "Everything's best in Piter." "Yes, I've noticed that." "It's good I'm moved to the Leningrad's flights." "It means you'll be here often?" "Does it really bother you?" "Yes, of course." "Vadim is all nervous about that." ""When will I see Nina again," he says." "I have to go." "Write down my number." "I don't have paper here." "And leave number please." "Just in case." "I don't have a phone." "I just have an address only." "Tania, Vadim took my address and my phone number." "It's great. I gave mine too." "What?" "I mean to Sasha." "My God." "You don't have a phone, do you?" "I gave him my address and he gave me his number." "Look, Vadim says Sasha has a heart of stone." "He never gives his number and address, because he doesn't seriously like anybody." "Then he likes me not seriously." "Will you call him?" "I don't know." "The condition is unstable." "She goes out from time to time." "I think it's a concussion." "Probably spine injury." "We must take blood samples, brain tomography, X-ray." "And to find relatives because of the possible operation." "Sasha, it's Tania, who..." "Yes, I remember, hi." "I'm in Leningrad." "I understand, it's too late, I'm just leaving tomorrow." "Then see you at the same place?" "When can you be there?" "In thirty minutes." "The bridges are moving." "So beautiful." "Yes, it is." "I guess we walked too much." "And what should we do?" "I guess I have to invite you to my place." "is it okay for you?" "It would be not okay if I left you here at night." "My parents wouldn't approve me." "So don't worry, let's go." "Leningrad's bread?" "Yes." "The one you like." "And who is this?" "This is my brother." "He passed away." "And this?" "My mother." "She works in the hospital." " And this?" " This is me and my father." "And this is me and my classmates." "And what did you graduate from?" "LGU." "Law department." "And how did you become a sambo coach?" "That's true. I'm graded." "This is more hobby." "Where do you work?" "In the Society of the Soviet-German Friendship." "Yes, I know German." "Now much better." "Because you came." "You are here." "With me." "Ira, tell me, did you find his husband?" "I can't find that Platov anywhere." "You shouldn't dash about in a flap." "The condition became stable." "She will lie till tomorrow, and then we'll see." "Don't rush." "I said to prepare her for the operation." "And you try to find Platov." "It's not hard to find a governor advisor." "It's me." "I'm very glad to hear you." "I can't see you this time." "I have a very urgent work to do." "I'm sorry." "Tania!" "Tania, do you hear me?" "Moscow, first booth." "Leningrad, second booth." "Hello." "Oan I talk to Sasha?" "When will he come back?" "Thank you, good-bye." "Platova must be prepared for the operation." "We can't find her husband." "I don't understand how we can operate without relatives' agreement." "I don't care." "I said we must operate her." "There's her mother's phone number in her notebook." "But she is in Kaliningrad." "I don't care if it's mother or father." "Oall her." "Okay." "Slava Yakushev came back from his voyage." "He asked you to call him." "I don't want to eat." "Oome on, eat. I know what you have during your flights." "Ooffee and chocolates." "Eat." "Mom, why do I have to call Slava Yakushev?" "Tania, it's been two years you're flying to that sambo coach." "Why?" "Switch to something else, get yourself free." "I love him." "You'd better love yourself." "How long are you gonna chase him?" "You'd better call Slava Yakushev." "Mom, I'm not gonna call him." "Of course, there's no reason to call him now." "Your heart must be free before calling someone else." "Tania, new love can come only to an open heart." "Don't take the lead." "He can find you anywhere if he needs you." "Men are always like that." "Tania, I can talk to your boss if you want." "Please, mom!" "They will move you to other flights." "Mom, I will flight one more time and then I'll quit it." "Excuse me, where is the nearest phone booth?" "A booth?" "In Leningrad." "Tania!" "Finally you are here!" "I didn't know what to think." "The flight was delayed." "And you worried, didn't you?" "I worried and now I'm frozen." "And I'm tired of waiting." "That's enough." "Marry me." "Tania, do you hear me?" "Oan you talk?" "How's my daughter?" "She's okay, she's at home, don't worry." "You can't worry." "Tania, Tania." "We won't wake her up?" "They don't react to music till they are three years old." "I read about that." "You did?" " Do you mind?" " No." "I just doubt it." "Ask your friend." "She studied that in her University." "I'm given a new assignment." "We're going to Germany." "And what about my degree work?" "We'll go once you defeat it." "And you said they don't react." "He read." "We interrupt our program to inform you about another big crime in our city." "15 minutes ago a governor's car was blown up." "Besides him and the driver, governor advisor Alexander Platov was also in the car." "According to preliminary information everyone who was in the car died." "And she is gonna be operated." "Poor woman." "You'd better study the language, Tatiana Mikhailovna." "Instead of reading love novels." "Why do I need German?" "I'm always at home." "Knowledge is power." "I can't apply it here." "You promised I'd work here too." "Okay, okay." "Not everything depends on me here." "If a place is free, you'll work there." "Let's eat something, I'm very hungry." "I've warmed it up three times already." "Then I'll warm it up fourth time." "A taste of food doesn't change of warming." "You know, when someone serves food with this attitude, it becomes poisoned." "I understand, you brought me here, so you could save on a housemaid." "All wives are part-time housemaids." "Yes, part-time." "As for me, it seems permanent." "Your food is perfect, by the way." "Maybe I should work in a cafeteria?" "You know what I'm thinking?" "When you are mad, you are... different." "You don't like me, do you?" "We must bear it." "Everything's gonna be fine." "Tatiana Mikhailovna, you are a young teacher." "You gotta understand, your husband is not an ambassador yet, why do you give "A"'s to children of such people?" "I'm sorry, Nikolay Stepanovich, I have to go to the lesson." "Take into account my remarks on the lesson." "I'm listening." "Your home assignment was Tatiana Larina's letter by heart." "You know, I think Tatiana's letter must be learnt by girls only." "Boys must learn Onegin's letter." "Okay, I'm listening to Onegin's letter." "There was no such home assignment." "Then read any fragment from "Evgeniy Onegin" you know by heart." "I wonder, does any teacher know anything from "Evgeniy Onegin" by heart?" "I know it whole." "Whole?" "You mean I start reading and you can continue?" "Easily." "My uncle was a man of virtue, When he became quite old and sick," "He sought respect and tried to teach me, His only heir, verte and weak." "He had the fun, I had the sore, But gracious goodness!" "What a bore!" "To teach some lazy guys in class And ask them always to revise." " lt's not correct." " And what is correct?" "But gracious goodness!" "What a bore!" "There was something about bedplace." "Yeah, about pillows, blankets." "Have a sit, Uspenskiy." ""A" again." "It's a famous picture from a third grade book." " Sasha?" " Yes." "Why are you so late?" "I was at the German tutor." "It's hard for you too?" "Yes." "Don't worry, you'll be okay." "See you tomorrow." "Good bye." "Excuse me." "It's falling from your bag." "You are not German." "Take it, please." "I think I understand." "There's a consulate somewhere here." "Yes, sure." "You're Russian." "Very strong accent?" "No." "Not an accent." "I'm just very pleased to hear Russian speech." "Take it." "Let's walk." "I think we're going in the same direction." "During the war Germans turned me out." "I didn't come back." "It's been 40 years I'm here." "Do you miss Leningrad?" "You didn't get used to it though." "Many times I tried to go to Russia." "When someone is far from his motherland, he starts believing in signs." "For example, a kissing couple is a good sign." "Sometimes someone thinks he has big troubles." "But in fact he is lucky." "You are real lucky." "You and your husband." "And together you can achieve much." "You think so?" "I'm not gonna tell you what you will achieve." "You won't believe me anyway." "But trust me, I'm able to see beyond my nose." "I want to give you these two apples." "So you will remember me." "These are the apples for you and your girls." "Thank you." "I hope you are smart enough not to give them to children?" "I didn't give them." "Here they are all four." "Let's throw them away and finish with that rubbish." "Maybe it is rubbish, but it's a nice one." "Well, a very critical condition." "Breathing is normal." "The condition became stable." "The pressure is okay." "Anatoliy Gavrilovich, someone is asking for Platova." "Who is?" "The one you asked for." "Her husband." "But he was blown up." "I saw it on TV." "Are you sure it's him?" "I don't know." "I didn't check his id." "Look at him, will you?" "I need to go in. lt's urgent." " You can't go in." " My wife is here." "Platova Tatiana Mikhailovna." "What's going on here?" "Leave this room immediately." "Her husband is killed today." "What do you mean killed?" "Today it was said on TV that Platov died." "The car he was in, was blown up." "And everyone died." "Hold on." "When I found out about the accident, I came here." "I came by another car." "Sasha." "What?" "Sasha, how's Dasha?" "She's fine." "She's fine." "What?" "You are not happy?" "Why?" "I am." "You wanted to see Berlin." "It's beautiful." "It looks like Leningrad." "Oome on." "They are very different." "Sasha, I didn't want to tell you, but your boss' son will get an "A" this year." "But the headmaster lectured me for that." "You want a piece of advice?" "Oall his father to school." "No." "The headmaster will have a heart attack." "No problem." "He'll take some medicine." "He must read at least "Evgeniy Onegin"." "But you'll have troubles because of that." "Troubles." "Wait a second." "Sasha!" " Smile." " Sasha, where have you been?" "Smile, come on." "Tomorrow morning we are gonna meet Nina and Vadim." "Why didn't you tell me before?" "Surprise." "I love you." "I love you." "I love you." "And where are we gonna go?" "Nina wanted to see striptease." "So don't think about your problems in school." "We'll be just having fun." " Let's drink." " To art." "Nothing special." "Why so much talking about striptease?" "You can't understand that." "Women are not for women." "If we touched this art enough, maybe we could go home?" "Don't hurry." "We have to get up early tomorrow." "I think, Sasha, tomorrow you'll have to go to work sleepy." "Vadik." "Are you all right?" "I must've eaten something bad." "You're laughing." "That's good." "It means you're gonna walk soon." "Anatoliy Gavrilovich said it's time." "You know, doctors sometimes may be wrong." "I can't walk." "I even can't stand up." "Anatoliy Gavrilovich is never wrong." "Why isn't he?" "Because he drag you out of the other world." "Because if he'd waited for my permission, you..." "Maybe it would be better." "I wouldn't be here, I wouldn't burden you." "What are you talking about?" "And you think you can go home?" "Girls are waiting for you." "My mother is doing fine with them." "She is their grandmother." "Your mother." "And their mother is you." "I understand, Sasha, but I can't get up." "Let's try together." "Let's give a try." "Oome on. I'll hold you." "Oome on." "Just raise yourself and make two steps." "No!" "Don't cry." "You can't get up today, you will tomorrow." "No, tomorrow I'm leaving." "In Moscow, with the governor for one week." "But don't miss me." "I'm surprised how you can come here every day." "That's what I'm saying." "You should go home." "Okay, I have to go." "Bye." "Alexander Alexandrovich, hello." " Hello." " Good afternoon, Alexander Alexandrovich." " Glad to see you." " Hello." " Do you have a couple of minutes?" " Yes, sure." "The problem is that your wife is too long here." "Yes, I understand, she just..." "No, that's not my point." "We can always find a place in our hospital." "I think it's rather psychological than physiological." "I don't know, maybe we should find something for her." "Maybe massage, bathing." "She's able to walk, she's just afraid." "She's afraid. lt happens with people who had a serious trauma." "I understand, but what can we do?" "Maybe to find a psychologist?" "I don't need a psychologist." "I don't even want to leave." "Like in old novels." "Strawberry jam, home-made cake." "Yes." "Tania, it's so pity that not all patients are like you." "No, it's just my mother." "She makes us happy with jam and cakes." "And you make me happy." "You make me happy with the way you look." "Yes." "Antonia Yurievna, I'm very happy for your daughter." "Soon we'll have a dance party." "Dedicated to her complete recovery." "Anatoliy Gavrilovich, I'm so grateful to you without any parties." "If it wasn't you... I put you some cakes." "No, I can consider it as a bribe." "I know Alexander Alexandrovich." "He won't be happy about that." " We won't tell him." " No, we will." "Will tell him that his cakes were taken away by the doctor." "I'll make more." "He won't come back till midnight anyway." "All right." "Tania, will you walk me to the car?" "No, I don't want to take away the opportunity to gossip about my health." "It's a pity." "Okay, good bye." " Good bye." " l'll be here soon." "Well, everything is going fine." "In a month we'll make a course of physiotherapy." "In summer everything is fine anyway." "The sun, the air, the cakes." "What else do we need for our health." "Yes." "I'll be here next week." "Okay, thank you." "We'll be waiting." " Please." " Thank you." "You are too thoughtless about yourself and your family." "The car is blown up, people died." "And you could be one of them." "And maybe the car accident with Tania is not accidental." "You didn't think about it?" "Who needs me?" "What my death can change?" "I'm not a governor." "Don't forget, you are my man." "Till they can't reach me, you are their target." "With you they can get me." "You shouldn't decline a guard." "Ivan Sergeevich, don't worry." "People are watching my family." "A guard in Duma..." "Unfamiliar faces twenty four hour." "Tatiana is just from the hospital." "She just got up." "I don't know." "Okay, you are the doctor." "If I were you, I'd ask Tania's mother for advise." "Antonina Yurievna seems to be a very wise woman." "I'll think about it." "The doctor said everything is going fine." "You could've walked him to the car." "To show some respect to such a remarkable doctor." "He left everything, he came to your country house." "How am I supposed to walk him?" "With my crutches?" "You think anyone wants to see that?" "I do." "I've almost lost you, but you're alive." "And you can walk." "And he said you can walk even without crutches." "Mom, stop it." "It will never recover." "I will always be lame." "Why are you saying that?" "Don't refuse God's gifts." "You fell so many times and everything recovered." "And it will now." "The main thing is that you have two beautiful girls." "And a beautiful husband who adores you." "Mom, how can you be so blind?" "He adores me." "He's living with me out of pity." "Why are you saying that?" "Don't you see the women who surround him?" "Look at his secretary." "And thatjournalist who calls him?" "I saw her on TV." "And I saw her." "Nothing special." "You are thousand times more beautiful than her." "But she has two legs in comparison with me." "Legs are not important in married life." "Mom, he's a normal man." "It's only you who needs me in any form." "You know what I'm thinking?" "Take us to your place." "What place?" "In Kaliningrad." "Maybe I'll start walking." "I'll start working in school." "Will give lessons." "Will work as a private tutor." "I've wanted to offer you to live with me." "But there was another reason for that." "I'm scared for you." "And that accident." "An explosion where his friend died." "Phone calls." "I can't guard everyone." "I think Sasha won't be against that." "You think the accident and the explosion are connected?" "I told the girls to play so I could see them." "Sasha will come in the evening and we'll ask him." "If he's agree for you to leave, then I am right." "Or I am right." "No, it's not here." "Keep on going." "Tania, where are you?" "I'm here." "Why didn't you call me?" "I would've switch on the light for you." "No need." "Let's sit without it." "It's so good to be unemployed." "I've never made so many cakes during all my life." "Why Sasha hasn't come yet?" "It's too late even for him." "Yes." "It's too late even for him." "Something happened?" "We made you some cakes." "The cakes are so good that you can eat them only in dark." "Look." "Beautiful." "Tomorrow there will be an opening of this fashion house." "We'll go there, we'll look, you'll choose something." "And you'll order." "That's right." "You are sitting here in one cloth." "I called Hohlov." "Asked him about your health." "He praised you." "Gave some instructions." "Sasha, what are you doing?" "Am I gonna go on a trolley to the fashion house?" "It's so beautiful." "Antonina Yurievna, put it in water." "In a minute." "My God!" "Oome on." "Let's rehearse your appearing in society." "Oome on." "Antonina Yurievna." "What a wife I have." "You like the walk?" "Like a model." "Don't laugh." "And now let's eat the cakes." "Very hungry." "It turns out it's hard to find a stick in this town." "This blue dress' color is like the color of your Aeroflot's uniform." "Maybe we should order it?" "Where am I gonna go in it?" "To the river." "Mosquitoes will eat me in it." "I will keep them off." "Thank you." "Thank you." "I've never had such dress." "Tatiana Mikhailovna, are you going home?" "Yes, I got tired." "I was also going to leave." "And where is Alexander Alexandrovich?" "He'll come up." "Why does he let you go alone?" "Why can't he?" "He didn't tell you then." "You know, it's not the reason to be scared." "but the situation is difficult." "I'm not overcautious, but anyway, I want to ask you to talk to your husband." "He acts like a boy." "He needs guard, but he declines it." "And he leaves you alone." "He's jealous." "He shouldn't leave such woman alone." "I'm notjealous." "Yeah, right, I saw how quickly you came." "Tatiana Mikhailovna, I ask you to remember about our conversation." "What was he talking about?" "It's private." "We used to be such great singers." "We should be quiet now, Let's sing quietly." "No, I don't agree." "Are we old people or something?" "Let's better walk." "I'll show you my surprise." "That's right." "The surprise!" "Let's go to our summer glade." "It's winter now, not summer." "Let's run there then." "Let's." "Tania, you can run!" "Hurrah!" "Look, look!" "Ania, get up." "Quiet!" "Vadim!" "Mom!" "Mom!" "My God!" "There's our car on the back side." "There's a full tank of gas." "Are you all right?" "Daddy." "Go, go!" "Antonina Yurievna, we're on fire!" " What about the girls?" " Take it easy." "Girls, come on!" " Where's Pasha?" " He's with girls." "Mom, where are the girls?" "Sasha!" "You can't go in!" "Sasha!" "The window. lt's Sasha." "Did you call to the fire station?" "Vadim. give me the ladder." "Be careful." "Oareful." "Oome on." "Don't hurry." "Oareful." "Go away from the house!" "Away from the house!" "Sasha!" "Sasha, hurry up!" "No, no." "No compromise with Gavrilov." "I hope that's all for today?" "Not quite." "My wife is waiting for you." "She's afraid to leave you?" "Ivan Sergeevich, be short." "Don't remember about the bed rest." " Yes, yes." " May I?" "Sure." "Hello, Ivan Sergeevich." "Hello." "How are you feeling?" "I'm feeling, and that's already an achievement." "It's just a very bad year." "When it's over everything's over." "And my governorship will be over too." "You will be reelected." "I'm sure of it." "No, Tatiana Mikhailovna." "if only everything depended on electors." "They won't let me work here." "I'm like a bur in the throat for them." "I want to talk to you about your husband." "You're starting it again." "Ivan Sergeevich." "Why don't you like me?" "Tatiana Mikhailovna, think about it." "You have two daughters." "What do you mean?" "You have a nice job, calm position." "In the capital." "Whatjob?" "I didn't tell you, because I didn't see any sense in it." "Ivan Sergeevich offers me to move to Moscow." "I didn't offer. I insisted." "No, Ivan Sergeevich, we'll stay with you till the end." "It's not much to wait." "Today we received the results of the investigation." "It was an arson." "So I don't know if they let you work here." "I repeat, my advise is for you to move to Moscow." "Maybe you want some tea?" "I don't want it." " Are you waiting for anybody?" " No." " Yakushev!" " Tania." "Pale, but attractive." "This is for you." "Thank you." "I came here to announce that I'm almost your neighbor." "Yes. I live in Moscow." "I didn't call you so you wouldn't say no to my visit." "Oome on in." "Well, well." "I'm a big businessman, by the way." "Almost all steamship line is mine." "I mean regional line." "I travel back and forth." "Kaliningrad" " Moscow." "Haven't seen you for a hundred years." "We must celebrate it." "I think you have already." "Tania, don't grumble." "Tania, where's your husband?" " He's..." " l see." "He's running in Moscow, searching for a job." "I'm sorry, Slava, that I'm so inhospitable." "I guess you heard, Tregubov died." "Today we were at the funeral." "We're just from the plane." "I heard that." "Listen, Tania." "Leave Moscow." "Let's go to Kaliningrad with me." "You don't know." "I'd do everything..." "Slava, don't start it." "Okay. lf we're not married, then let's call each other." "May I leave you my phone number?" "Okay." "But you won't call me." "I know." "Tania, is your husband jealous?" "Sasha, you are notjealous, are you?" "All right." "I gotta go." "She won't call me." "She never calls. I will." "is it good or bad?" "What?" "That I'm notjealous." "It's good." "But sometimes it's a pity." " And are you jealous?" " Yes, very much." "By the way, the position you are offered, is it a promotion or a demotion?" "You're wondering, aren't you?" "I'm used to think you don't care." "No, I care." "If it's a demotion, I'd be very glad." "We'll see each other more often." "Mom, why are we like children give dad pictures as a present?" "Ania can write verses." "Dad likes her verses." "He always quote them." ""Dad is late at home again, Mom is gonna have some pain."" "I wrote it before school." "Now she's writing about love." "About love is okay too." "Mom, I know." "Let's make a cake for the father." "And we'll write on it:" ""New Year with us!"." "My husband will never be a boss." "Your husband will be a street cleaner." "That's good." "30 minutes to work in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening." "And the rest of the time he'll be with me." "Mom, why aren't you saying anything." "I like this watch so much." "Tania broke a bird last year." "If I was born earlier, I would've remembered what you broke when you were a year." "It always shows 12 o'clock." "At this time my father always comes." "As Santa Olaus." "You're wrong." "It's not even 8 pm." "And I'm already here." "If it's not even 8 pm, I have to serve you real supper." "You are always hungry, aren't you?" "You like it?" "Fantastic." "I bought computer to the girls, as we agreed." "And dolls." "They still remember those which were burnt in the country house." "Sasha." "I miss you." "When will it be over?" "When will we have a normal life?" "It's just such time." "We have to wait." "Do you want I will show you what I presented you on a New-Year?" "Do you like it?" "I'm speechless." "So sudden." "I am a very tired man." "Thank you." "The food was great." "Such scent!" "Yes." "Yes, it's me." "Yes, the trip is confirmed." "Who else?" "And Natasha." "If Natasha goes the New Year celebration will be perfect." "All right, yes." "Thank you." "I didn't want to upset you." "I have made a decision." "I'll go." "But what about New Year celebration?" "Actually, that was an idea." "Guys are far from home." "And suddenly Natasha comes." "Natasha is the general Tatartsev's wife." "He can't go anywhere without her." "So you can take her and you can't take me." "I fear for you." "And I fear without you." " What about the girls?" " What about them?" "As their father said, they are already grown-up." "They'll find someone to celebrate." ""lf their father has just left Mom is waiting for their dad." " Oause she hate..." " ... to be alone."" "Okay." "Are we gonna have verses this year?" "She promised some love ones." "And Dasha and I wanted to make a cake for you." "Sasha, what?" "Then make it." "I'll take it with me." "We can't land here." "Visibility is very poor." "The pilot is gonna request information about the nearest landing places." "But we can't land in Kutirmes for sure." "Okay." "Ask for the cars to the helicopter." "We have celebrated New Year in a plane." "Let's celebrate it in the helicopter." "Do we have more champagne?" "Of course." "Here it is." "This is my first New-Year celebration in the air." "By the way, the cake was great." "Daughter and I made it." "Get in the cars!" "Meteorologists promise tomorrow to be good weather." "Then send a helicopter for us tomorrow." "Tania, they prepared a room for us." "Sleep there well and then I'll come." "Such a long way just to sleep?" "I'll sleep in the car." "What do you risk for?" "You have children." "And you have children too." "It's cold." "Oomrade lieutenant general, during our duty..." "Okay." "We've already stopped waiting for you." "My daughters say I come as Santa Olaus." "So I'm gonna be your Santa Olaus." "And you brought presents to everyone." "Hello." "Don't stand up." "This is, as we say, an unofficial visit." "I wanted to be here before the New Year started, but the way is long, the weather is bad." "Let's think that the New-Year celebration is not over yet." "And it's time for presents." "Happy New Year." "Thank you." "Happy New Year." "This is for you." "Thank you." "Hello." " Happy New Year." " Thank you." "I was afraid we won't be in time." "Sasha is always late, but he's always in time." "Uspenskiy, if I'm not mistaken." "That's right." "Senior lieutenant Uspenskiy." "Relax." "Tatiana Mikhailovna." "Hello, Tatiana Mikhailovna." " Hi." " l guess, you didn't recognize me." "Lesha Uspenskiy, 9th grade." "Of course, I did." "Happy New Year, Lesha." "Thank you." "How are you?" "Had a fight with my father." " And also entered Military Academy." " Do you regret?" "No." "Otherwise I'd be the same father's boy." "And here you have to be more serious when you're in command." "So you've changed?" "Very much." "Maybe you finished "Evgeniy Onegin"?" "No, I didn't." " No?" " l've learnt it." "It's so handy." "When you don't know what to say, you quote "Evgeniy Onegin"." "In every situation you will find the right words." "It saved me so many times." "And when you're saying that you can think about the situation, to make the right decision." "Even my friends know some quotes." "Thank you, guys." "Good luck in your hard job." "Good bye, Uspenskiy." "Good bye." "Good luck, Lesha." "Do you want to check?" "Tania, we must go." "In a minute." "Okay, let's check." "You are the teacher who knows "Evgeniy Onegin" by heart?" "How come you know that?" "It's like a saying for our senior lieutenant." "It's as easy to learn "Evgeniy Onegin" as to learn the structure of a gun." "If the school didn't study, the army will." "It's written about the school years of our senior lieutenant." "We all study here." "Somehow and something." "What else can we do here?" "Only to study verses." "That wasn't somehow and something that Tatiana Mikhailovna taught." "Who knows "Evgeniy Onegin" better, I'll give him..." "Tania, we gotta go." "People from the other unit are waiting for us." "We're late without it." "Give me a minute." "This is a magic pen." "Whatever you write, it comes true." "And we'll give you a cap." "From my heart." "General's present." "I start." "Well, I was born for peaceful life, For soft bucolic soundlessness," "Where my voice sounds stronger And dreams are full of vividness." "I recollect the sea before the storm, I envied waves that lilac day," "The waves that rush, they're crowned with the foam, To knee in front of her and stay." "Will there be the day when I am free?" "It is the time!" " l call for it, I cry, I wait for wind, I walk along the sea, Allure the sails of vessels passing by." "I give up." "Here it is." "Thank you." "Only for love letters." "And this is for you." "To remember us." "Thank you." " Good luck." " Good bye." "Thank you." " Bye." " Good bye, Tatiana Mikhailovna." "We're late because of you." "Oan we be late because of me once?" "What happened there?" "The road is blown up." "Oomrade general lieutenant, 20 minutes ago three cars were passing by," "All torn to shreds." "Maybe they were waiting for you?" "Usually they say, "Who is guilty?", "Pushkin is"." "But this time he saved us." "Yes, Alexander Alexandrovich, if your wife wasn't so passionate to "Evgeniy Onegin", we would've..." "So that was the reason I wanted her to go with me." "Did you want me to?" "Didn't you understand?" "Mom, everyone calls and asks if that's true that dad is promoted." "Maybe you answer the phone." "I can't." "What should I tell them?" "Tell them you don't know." "And better turn off the phone." "And bring me some strong tea, please." "Hello." "Yes, granny, just a minute." "Thank you." "Mom, this is grandmother." "If you don't answer, she'll be here in a minute." "Hello." "Yes, mom, hi." "Everything's fine." "I don't know." "No, we heard something about the possible promotion." "We didn't discuss anything." "What do you mean to be a good girl?" "Mom, whose mother are you?" "His or mine?" "I understand, he's like a son to you." "Feel sorry for him then." "Only work and nothing more." "Okay, bye." "Hello." "Yes, Anatoliy Gavrilovich, hello." "Why do you think I'm having headaches?" "Then you shouldn't be a Minister of Health, but to open a clinic." ""Diagnostics by phone"." "Busy." "Busy again." "I do everything you say." "I don't feel that bad." "Let's go home." "Just for a few minutes." "Yes, thank you for your worries." "Good bye." "Mom, where are you going?" "I'll go for a walk." "I have a headache." "And you study." "If you don't finish your homework till I come back, I'll tell your father." "And what if the father comes back?" "If he comes back, he'll be very upset that you don't study." "Tania." "I was always afraid that you disappear some time." "When I saw you now, I understood, that's it." "She's leaving." "I'm just having a walk." "I thought, "That's it." "She'll turn around the corner." "And I will never see her."" "Tania, I understand, you are overstrained." "You're scared, I understand." "I don't know myself if I want that all or not." "I understand that." "The life goes this way." "It's silly to sell potatoes, when I can be at the highest level." "You'll be proud of me." "But then I'll quit and be a simple surgeon." "Or write books." "For children." "And we'll be happy till the end of our days." "You've never said you want to live with me till the end of your days." "I didn't?" "Oh, come on." "But I did marry you." "You bet!" "What do you mean?" "Not every girl comes to their date by plane." "I guess, you forgot everything." "I remember much." "I remember much." "Look." "Does it remind you anything?" "Thank you." "is it a presidential room?" "There's nothing more luxurious?" "I don't know." "Then I don't regret I agreed to your promotion." "Maybe you should've agreed to Olinton's offer?" "What Olinton?" "Slava Yakushev." "By the way, it's an option." "Maybe it's not too late." "Or maybe you forgot his number?" "I remember everything." "It's not only you who remembers everything." "Well, I didn't doubt about it." "Mrs. Platova, we can't wait any longer." "I called and they said, Mr. Platov will be 15 minutes more late." "Maybe you start." "You'll say a few words." "You'll answer some questions." "That wasn't in our schedule." "It's force-majeure." "Rescue us." " l'm not ready." " Just talk." "Don't worry." " What am I gonna say?" " You'll figure that out." "Hello, gentlemen." "Let me adduce an excuse that Alexander Alexandrovich is late." "Until he is here, I can try to answer your questions." "I don't have the authority though, but I hope he won't get mad." "And you will not hurt me, will you?" "Please." "There are rumors in the west, that your husband has some commitments with the prior authority," "which don't let him be more determined." "is that correct?" "Alexander Alexandrovich never shifts his responsibility onto others." "And if anything goes bad, he tries to overcome it, and he doesn't blame previous leaders." "If you mean anything specific, you'd better ask him." "Independent radio station." "Russia is in black list of persecutors of free press." "There are cases of businessman chasings." "is that your husband's policy?" "I'm surprised to hear this question from my countryman, who reads our newspapers, watches television." "I think they are more independent than in west." "Freedom of speech is the first winning of the New Russia." "As for your second question, nobody chases people, who is fair in his business." "And those who break the law must be responsible for that." ""Shpigel" magazine." "Within several years Russia will pay debts to western creditors." "Does it bother your husband." "Yes, it does." "And I know, Alexander Alexandrovich supported the creation of the stabilization fund, which will accumulate funds for that." "Yes, but the government refused those recommendations." "And it didn't include this in the budget project." "It didn't?" "I didn't know that." "I think not only the government, should think about it." "It's not a secret that Russian money is on foreign accounts, and it worked for foreign economics." "It must come back to Russia." "I am a Russian businessman." "I found out about this meeting by chance." "Only abroad one can talk to our government." "I agree with you." "But I don't believe this money will not be in a black hole." "Don't you afraid that money will be cleaned up?" "I do." "That's why I'm ready to be the head of that fund." "And I promise, every penny will stay in Russia." "As for the trust, if we stop lying, they will start trusting." "You gotta understand, nobody can help us, besides us." "The kiss is not for the press." "Oome to me." ""Finally the weekend came, And our father stays the same."" "It's cold." "Finally we're alone." "You're right." "My hands are freezing." "Yeah, we're not lucky with the weather."
