"I've served my time, so I'm going home!" "Hey, soldier!" "Forward march!" "Soldier lived and did not bend," "Soldier served his homeland," "And for his good name of a soldier" "He would always firmly stand." "Bang, bang, my snare drum!" "Help the soldier through!" "Should you burst, my snare drum, I'll put patches on you." "What's his strength?" "What's his gain?" "Of our Russian Army man?" "He's strong for his right cause," "He's rich for many a friend." "Bang, bang, my snare drum!" "Help the soldier through!" "Should you burst, my snare drum, I'll put patches on you." "What you started bring to the end." "Never lose heart, my dear friend."

"Here." "Oh, woe is me!" "Woe!" "Is something wrong?" "Oh, very, very wrong!" "Why has that happened to us?" "Now, now, now." "Can you whine making some sense?" "Oh, soldier, our grandfather's got stuck in a trap." "Have pity, save him!" "Our grandpa is old and sick, poor, poor grandpa!" "We'll help him out." "Do not lag behind!" "Here, here, it'll make you feel better." " Grandpa!" " What?" "Leave some milk for me." "All right, I will." "Hurray!" "Hurray!" "We're going to treat you to some honey, soldier." "We've got delicious honey, white honey." "It's so sweet!" " Just look at them..." " Have some." "Thank you, Michael the Bruin." "Only I have no time for indulging myself." "You better tell me something." "Who put such a horrible trap here?" "Oh, soldier..." "Our forest was such a pleasure to roam about, but now even I go round it." "A creature that no one has ever seen or heard of made it its home." "All our misfortunes come from it." "I guess I have to drop in there and put everything in order." "No!" "No!" "Good day to you!" "Don't go, soldier!" "Don't go!" "You won't come back alive." "If I don't have fear, I'll be back here." "Goodbye, kids, be good." "Obey your grandpa." " Goodbye, Michael the Bruin." " Goodbye, soldier." "How quiet it is here..." "No birds singing, no beasts bellowing..." "Whom is this forest hiding?" "Whom is it guarding?" "I have a feeling of something bad coming..." "Lurking here must be that creature that no one's ever seen or heard of." "Oh, my gosh!" "Some monster!" "What do you know!" "Good day to you!" "You got scared?" "Don't be." "I am not scared!" "Why have you come to that dangerous stillness?" "I'm looking for my mother." " No, she's somewhere far away." " Where's she, your mother?" "She was kidnapped by a water wizard." " A water wizard?" " Yes, a water wizard." "Why?" "She's very skillful at weaving and embroidering." "I see..." "Goodbye, uncle soldier." "I have no time for chewing the fat with you." "Just look at you!" "So independent!" " Wait, lad!" " What else do you want?" " It's fearful here in the forest." " Heroes know no fear!" "Well, heroes come a bit bigger and taller." "It's not your height that counts, but your bravery." " And where's your father?" " He got lost in a blizzard." "I was a little kid then." "Now I'm my mother's sole protector." "Listen to me, big hero, let's go together." "We shall free your mother." "No, I'll do it on my own, I'm not so little." "Well, I'm not little either, but I always help my friends in battle and at work, and never refuse their help." "You're right, it's more fun being with a friend." "You see?" "When you're alone, it might get scary." "Oh, don't say, my dear..." "Who is there?" "Let's see." "Don't be afraid." "Shall we find my mom?" "We must." " Shall we save her?" " We must." "You will never find anyone," "You will never save anyone!" "And you won't save your own lives for anything!" "Who is that playing hide-and-seek with us?" "I'm dancing, hop-hop!" "I'm jumping, hop-hop!" "I'm evil, I'm a crook," "I'm the wettest water spook." "The thirteenth!" " Thirteenth?" " Thirteenth." "Thirteenth..." "Never heard of you." "You aren't lying, are you?" "Hey, easy, easy!" "Vanya, hold on!" "I hold on firmly!" "Ouch, it hurts!" "I'm going to show him, the bearded one!" "I can't abide noise!" "You hear?" "The echo's answering." "That's my army comrades answering." " Where are they?" " At the other end of the world." "Then it's all right, it's pretty far away." "If I call them, they'll be here in no time." "There's nothing like a soldier's friendship, you should know that." "Stop it, soldier." "Let's not fight." "Let's be friends." "That's quite another matter." "You want to be friends, let's be friends." "Wait, Vanya." "I see you're a two-faced man, Majesty." "Of course." "We kings can't be any other." "So it goes with your official responsibilities." " That's how it is..." " Yes, it is so." "Vanya!" "I'm the master of the seas, of the rivers, of the wells, and of the underwater." " Why are you so puffed up?" " Why, I'm the king!" " Oh!" "Carry on, then." " Carry on, carry on..." " What do you want?" " Vanya, what do we want?" "Was it you who stole my mother?" "Soldier, tell the boy not to be so loud." "To me it's worse than a drought." "Easy, Vanya." "Drop the stick and don't blink." "Pull your pants up, straighten your shirt and stop having fun." "I can't stand it when kids have fun." "I don't feel like having fun now, King." "That's good." "Clever boy." "Well, what do you want?" " You've stolen my mom." " What mom?" " Maria, the Wonderful Weaver." " Oh, that mom..." "Yes, yes, yes..." "No, no, no..." "That one I didn't steal!" "I give you my word of evil, I didn't." "I feel so wretched without her, it couldn't be worse." "That pleases me very much." "He's just a child, Majesty." "You shouldn't hurt an orphan." "It's not good." "Come on, cry some more!" "Oh, how I love when they turn on the waterworks." " Give the child his mother back!" " Are you related to her?" " To whom?" " Maria, the Wonderful Weaver." " I've never seen her in my life." " Then why do you meddle?" "I'm a Russian soldier, your Swampy Majesty." "I can't have peace when kids are grieving and mothers are languishing in captivity." "What troublesome people you are." "That's why I love to... drown, drown you all!" "Stop fiddling around, Majesty." "Take us to your underwater hut!" " It's not a hut." "It's a palace!" " Whatever, let it be a palace!" "All right, listen to my decision." "I will take you to my underwater palace and show you all my servants." "You can choose whoever you like." "I won't grudge you anything." "But in exchange..." "In exchange you will give me the drum!" "Is it a deal?" "The drum?" " That's going too far!" " Uncle soldier!" " The drum?" " The drum." "All right, it's a deal!" "Hurry up, hurry up!" "You will get it if there's no foul play." "Do you realize who you're talking to?" "I do, that's why I'm talking this way." "In that case..." " I'm alive!" " Alive." "Good." "What?" "You got scared, you foolish small fry?" "We're not scared, but enough of your tricks, we're not in the circus." "In that case, welcome to the underwater kingdom, to its very core, as long as you're not scared." "What?" "Let's go, Vanya." " Water!" " Water." "Don't be afraid." "Soldier!" "Look!" "I'm looking." "The forest where we met and got friendly was just half a miracle." "The real miracles are ahead." "The hand-railings are made of coral." " You don't say!" " That's right." "Brought from faraway, foreign oceans." "I got it from my second cousin thrice removed." "Gave him a thousand pounds of beluga caviar for it." " A thousand pounds?" " Right!" "Though..." " The stuff, the delivery..." " What?" " I'm figuring it out..." " Go on, figure it out." "And the craftsmen, and the grub." "No, you still overpaid, Majesty." "In these matters one shouldn't be too stingy." "It's just peanuts." "You'd better look." " Well, is it a hut?" " What do you think, Vanya?" " It's no hut." " It's a palace, Majesty, a palace!" " Holy mackerel!" "Well?" "When it's good, I say it's good." "As you were!" "You forgot the key, your Wettest Majesty." "Didn't I warn you, soldier, that you shouldn't make noise in the underwater kingdom?" "Listen to me, your Swampy Majesty, if you set your monsters on the child again," "I will make such a noise that it will upset your whole kingdom." " No noise!" " Then leave him alone!" "Abracadabra!" " Calling your dogs?" " No." " Who, then?" " You'll see." "Where's your soul?" "In my heels, my underwater master, that's why I'm bouncing like a ball." "Tremble before me!" "More expression!" "Do you love me?" "Like my own mama." "Like my own papa!" "Sing something for us." "Good boy!" "You sing well." "Croacolatura." "Croaqualification." "Enough of that froggy sentimentality!" " Give us what you promised!" " What did I promise?" "Oh, what I promised!" "I won't grudge you anything." " You may take him." " What for?" "He may come handy." "He made his career starting as a common frog." "Very intelligent!" "Very clever!" "Very bright!" " Well, Water Wizard..." " I was just kidding!" "Kidding, kidding." "Look!" "This way, please!" "Abracadabra!" "My dear Vanya," "My sonny!" "I pine for you, I grieve for you, my honey!" "It breaks my heart that you got" "A poor orphan's lot." "They took me prisoner by force," "They threw me in that dungeon so gross." "I ran away seven times - they caught me," "Behind seven bolts they locked me." "I'm pining for you," "I don't sleep nights." "Where are you?" "My sweet Vanya..." "Vanya..." "Vanya!" "Mama!" "My son!" "Open up!" "Vanya dear!" "Oh-oh-oh, poor thing!" "You tried to run away to your Vanya again." "You look and you sleep," "you walk and you sleep," "you stand still and sleep." "Forget about everything!" "May all your troubles go." "May all your thoughts lie low." "Like slumbering swamps." "Freedom or bondage - it makes no difference." "No difference!" "No difference!" "Freedom or bondage - it makes no difference." "No difference." "She's done!" "Well, my dear land mice, let's see and review my servants." "This one you already know." "Silent Sage!" "What?" "Is he gargling?" " Did you know or did you guess?" " I guessed." " You're right, he is." " Why?" "Not to put his foot in his mouth." " To keep away from trouble?" " Exactly." "Interesting!" " Mad lobster!" " Where?" "To your left." " Gone mad?" " Right." " Does he bite?" " No, just whistles like a boy." "Whistles?" "Just like you." "This is the chief custodian of the mad lobster, the underwater Cock the Beautiful." "Wow, he's so long!" " Arrogant." " Dumb as an ox." " He doesn't like it." " Absolutely useless." "Please, my dear guests." "And this is my chief treasurer Altyn Altynych." "And his most scholarly students." "He can calculate anything in an instant." " You don't say!" " Sure thing." "Altyn Altynych, how many chests with gold, silver and jewels do I, Water Wizard Xlll, have?" "God knows how many plus three and a half." "You hear?" "A very learned old man, he knows all arithmetic by heart." " A brainy guy!" " Didn't I tell you?" " How much is 7 multiplied by 8?" " A lot." " And two multiplied by two?" " Five." "Right!" "Good for you!" "Take him, soldier, give me the drum, and that will be that." "Majesty, you may keep him." "There's nothing we can surprise him with." "Then I'll show you my huntsmen." "They're all from foreign lands." "They were drowned pirates." "I revived them, nurtured and educated them." "Abracadabra!" "Caramba!" "Just remember: we're pirates," "Real, formidable pirates," "We're actually pirates - everyone gets shivering." "And as long as we're pirates," "You will not for the world from pirates," "You will nowhere from pirates" "Get away, all dithering." "Yo-ho-ho, no buts," "Run for your life and hide your guts!" "Yo-ho-ho, not buts," "Run for your life and hide your guts!" "Aren't they great?" "Great!" "Give me the drum, take them, and that will be that." "How many times do I have to repeat?" "We want Maria, the Wonderful Weaver." " I don't have her!" " You do!" " What's the matter with him?" " It beats me..." "He's getting something." "What is it?" "Ajewelry box." "Jewelry box." "Dolls!" "Dolls?" "Nothing of the sort!" "They are my diminutive mermaids." " A whole brood of them." " A whole company." "Exactly!" "They're dancing, Vanya!" "Uncle soldier!" " Give back my mom!" " Give him his mom!" "You impertinent boy!" "You have scared to death my diminutive mermaids!" "Let's make an exchange!" " Give back my mom!" " I've got no mom!" "Majesty, when you're lying, at least make it good!" "You've showed us your lackeys, now show us the prisoners that are working for you!" " Show them, or I'll bang!" " No noise, please!" "All right, you'll see the prisoners." " In a while." " Why not now?" "I don't keep prisoners near my palace." "That would be disturbing." "I've sent them away to the swamps and marshes." "It'll take time to send for them and bring them here..." "Don't!" "Hey, Croak!" "Show our dear guests to a VIP room." "Your Greenness, why so many guards here?" "Why?" "To pay honour to you." "You aren't lying, are you?" "These are your quarters." "It's quiet here like in an aquarium." "Take a rest, drink some kvas, try our pancakes." "Make yourself comfortable." " Why do you lock the door?" " You'll feel safer this way." "Uncle soldier..." "It looks not bad." "Bread is bitter in the house of an enemy." "Though it wouldn't be bad to fortify oneself." "Unfortunately, I forgot my backpack in the forest, Vanya." "Here!" "What?" "You're a very practical guy, Vanya." "Of course, I had a long journey to make." "Ah, Auntie Badweather!" "Stop!" "Stand still!" " Have you sneezed yourself out?" " I have." "Now report to me, have you tamed Maria, the Weaver?" "I have, my dear benefactor." "I've tamed her for good." "She used to carry her head high, but now she bent down like a cut spike of wheat." "I cast a spell on her and put her to sleep." "She won't run away now." "Good work!" "Away, infection!" "They flatly refused to eat the food we offered them." "I made all kinds of delicate approaches, but they wouldn't respond in any way." "My swamp lackeys, disloyal and treacherous, you see what guests the stream has brought us." "The treasurer failed to amaze them, the pirates couldn't frighten them, the mermaids didn't lull them to sleep, and we couldn't poison them!" "What are we to do?" "What do we do?" "We poor villains." "Right dress!" "Come on, my huntsmen, my pirates, let's think!" "Come on, think!" "Think!" "Order!" "One-two, all together!" "Good!" "Good!" "Think!" "Think, think, my dear pirates!" "Think!" "Think, pirates!" "Think!" " We know!" " At last!" "Report to me what you know." "It's a tough nut you've given us to crack." "It's not up to us." " May I pronounce my idea?" " You may." "In the underwater depths there lives Catfish Carp." " An ancient elder." " I don't like him." " He's an intellectual!" " He's wise!" "He knows all fairy tales by heart." "Fairy tales..." "You need to consult him." "For your gracious highness." "To dive or not to dive." "To dive and not survive." "To dive or not to dive." "To dive!" "Open up the pool, and hurry!" "It's cold in there!" "Catfish Carp!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Catfish Carp!" "Why are you disturbing me, you watery wizard?" "Come up here, Catfish Carp!" "Do me a favour!" "I need your counsel." "Dive down here!" "There's a draught." "It's too cold." "Come on, dive in." "Dive in!" "Dive in!" "My mama..." "What's the matter, dear?" "Sometimes I didn't obey her." " Sure, a little boy that you are." " I'm big." "You're big now." "But you used to be little." "Sometimes I even got mad at her." " I even grumbled." " Oh, my dear boy." "Come, come, stop it." "Stop it, save your energy." "You're a big boy, aren't you?" " I'm big." " You're big." " What?" " Where's the drum?" "Here it is." " Why did you get so scared?" " I thought it was gone." "Gone?" "So what?" "It's notjust a drum, my dear." " It's a cunning drum." " Cunning?" "It wouldn't help anyone." "If you've got a clear conscience, it'll help you." "And the water wizard, you think he has a conscience?" "He's got no conscience." "Well, come here." "Oh, how I love old fools!" "He instructed me, he advised me, he explained everything." "And he didn't charge me a kopeck for it." "Make haste to the treasury." "And prepare expensive gifts!" "The richer they get, the more compliant they'll be." "And you sneak, you spy, you eavesdrop." "Croak!" "Tell Alyonushka to come here!" "Huntsmen, be on your guard, keep your traps ready!" "And you..." "What?" "What is this?" " A thorn." " Did you place it, granddaughter?" " Yes, I did." " How dare you?" "Why?" "Because you ordered a spell placed on Maria, the Weaver." "Stop tossing your beard." "Can't I toss my beard in my own palace?" "You can't!" "When you toss your beard, it means you mean some meanness." "Some meanness, my ass!" "It's no time for meanness." "We're in such trouble that I might as well scream!" " It's not true!" " It's not true..." "They've come for your favorite pet, Maria, the Wonderful Weaver... crawling." "Who came crawling?" "My second cousin thrice removed, that outlaw swamp denizen." "And he brought his nephew with him." "It was them who cast a spell on Maria, the Wonderful Weaver." " Turn them out!" " How can I?" "My cousin has myriads of friends." "And they're all so noisy!" "Once he starts banging his magic drum, they'll all come crawling and utterly upset my underwater kingdom." "And they'll take Maria, the Wonderful Weaver away!" "Well, show me that cousin of yours and his nephew." "Show them to me!" "As soon as we find your mother, then I can draw free breath." "My hands are aching for the soil." "I will plough and mow and roam about my native land." "Gathering mushrooms and berries." "And singing songs." "You got tired." "Wait!" "I'll go and see what they're up to." "And you watch if someone of their retinue is already crawling." "Help me, Grandmother Falsehood." "Make the right look distorted and the distorted look right." "Oh, uncle soldier, what is this?" "Don't be afraid, Vanya, we'll cope with it." "It's all the green devil's nasty tricks." "Alyonushka!" " Uncle soldier!" " Don't be scared!" "Just look at the uncle tearing his nephew's hair." "Some uncle!" "It's worse than a nightmare!" "And his nephew is no better." "Tell me what we should do?" "How can we save Maria, the Wonderful Weaver?" "Take her to the boiling lake, make it peaceful, and then..." "The rest I'll whisper into your ear, lest the villains hear it." "You remember it well?" " Yes." " Hurry up, then!" "I couldn't find her." "I couldn't find Alyonushka." "But she herself found me!" "Don't start whining!" "Run after her, eavesdrop, spy on her." "As she pronounces six magic charms, push her into the lake." "After bathing in the boiling water, she will get tame." " Is it clear?" " Like in a fog." "Run!" "How cunningly I've outsmarted the girl!" "And made our guests look so bad." "No one can withstand slander!" "Thank you, Grandmother Falsehood!" "How are you, my noble sturgeons?" "Did you have a good rest, children?" "Yes, sir, we did." "Now take us to Maria, the Wonderful Weaver." "Everything in its own good time, my dear silver fishes." "Fishes..." "Abracadabra!" "Please." "Open up my secret chests!" "You see, soldier, what a marvelous water wizard I am?" " Yes, I see." " What did I tell you?" "Walk around, soldier, take a good look." " You may choose whatever you like." " Yes..." "You're rich, Majesty, very rich." "Oh, look at that, Vanya!" " We don't need this." " And you don't need this." "Don't be in a hurry, soldier, don't be in a hurry." "Just look at all those riches." "I've decided, soldier, to..." " What's the word?" ".." " To kill me?" "Come on, no!" ".." "To enrich you!" "Really?" "Why?" "Because you're not a rich man." "I wouldn't say that." "A Russian soldier's rich by his truth." "Lullaby, my nightingale," "I will tell you a nice tale." "Maria dear, my adopted mother, some monsters came for you, they want to enslave you." "Freedom or bondage - it makes no difference, no difference." "It's the swamp unlawful monster who cast a spell on you." "I'll save you." "Just be patient, my dear, we'll go to the land together, to your Ivanushka." "No croaky way." "We'll distract the swamp monster's attention and then set out on ourjourney." "Take some pearls at least." "About half a pound." "And precious stones, too, lots and lots of them." "Majesty, we don't need them." " Don't insult me by taking nothing," " Wait." "This treasure I do like!" " It's our thing." " Really?" "It's Russian." "This is an old-fashioned, secondhand thing." "This psaltery got damp, it doesn't play anymore." "Never mind, for a good cause it will play and get alive." "It'll get alive." "It'll play." " He didn't get richer." " He didn't get tamer." "Drop-drop, slap-slap." "Calm down, lake." "Maria, many a reflection take." "Drop-drop, slap-slap, the live Maria, divide in two!" "And repeat yourself six times." "Two, three, four, five, six." "Drop-drop, slap-slap." "Water, water, give back what you've taken!" "Mix up, the water Marias, distract the swamp monster, the lawless one." "Well, Marias, let's go." "One, two, three, four, five, six!" "Help me!" "Save me!" "I'm going to boil to death!" "It serves you right, you court villain!" "I'm almost done!" "Medium rare!" "I was boiled!" "Well now, soldier," "I'll show you all my prisoners, but only on one condition." "Before the mad lobster whistles for the third time, you must recognize Maria, the Weaver." "Then she's yours." "If you don't recognize her, she'll be ours for eternity!" "Is it a deal?" " I'll always recognize my mom!" " Shut up!" "Soldier, tell him to never interrupt grownups." "Vanya..." "And you, soldier, do you agree?" "Yes, sir, your Wettest Highness!" " The drum." " Not yet." " Not yet?" " No." "Hey, Croak!" "Something bad must have happened." "Croak!" "Croak!" "Croak!" "That's my girl, Alyonushka!" "Way to go!" "They look so good!" "So watery!" "So transparent!" "Well, everything is ready." "We'll begin now!" "Let's begin!" "Let's begin!" "Look!" "Look at them!" "But don't touch, they might die." "Well, is it time now?" "One!" "Don't look back, Vanya." "All the women are very cold, because they're from water." "But as you feel a warm human breath, then..." "Mommy!" "Hush, you demon!" "They might die." "Mommy!" "Two!" "And if you don't recognize her - she's ours for eternity!" "Mommy!" "Three!" "That's my mom!" "Mommy, mommy, wake up!" "Let's go to freedom." "Freedom or bondage - it makes no difference, no difference." "No, I won't let her go!" "I won't!" "I won't let her!" " I won't!" "Wait!" "Granddad, shame on you!" "You gave your word!" "I gave it, I'll take it back!" "You're a liar!" "I'll go back to land, to people!" "Psaltery, play a dancing tune," "Make the royal feet go in a real swoon." "Play, give no rest to the foot, So no one would go in pursuit." "You got my order?" "Catch them all!" "Drown them all!" "Impale them all!" "What is going on?" "Stop that outrage!" "Hey, my right foot!" "And you, my left foot!" "Where are you going?" "I'll catch you and I'll drown you!" "To that dance I am not prone." "Stop that silly, crazy song!" "But my feet on their own Go staggering along." "Old lady made a fire, And for water went outdoor." "And for water went outdoor, Coming out on river shore." "On the river, on the river Gray ducks sit and cry a call." "Gray ducks sit and cry a call, Making clear waters dull!" "That psaltery makes us dance Till we fall in a dazed trance." "All psalteries should be broken, All the strings should burst up open!" "It won't open!" "Abracadabra!" "Abracadabra!" "Come on, my doggies, go after them!" "You go ahead, and I'll delay the huntsmen." "I'll give them some presents." "Well, how did you like a soldier's presents?" "Good for you, Bruin, you've saved it!" "What a slush!" "I'm appealing to your sense of compassion!" "I'm repenting!" "Will you go back to being an ordinary frog?" "Of course." "Merci." "Hey, you incessant rains and thunderstorms, come here!" "Come here!" "Pour down, pour down, without rest!" "Give no peace to humans!" "How damp it is, how cozy!" "How lovely!" "Mommy, mommy!" "We're home." "Wake up!" "Everything around is our own." "Our own or not our own - it makes no difference." "Good!" "Don't be sad, kids." "Everything will be all right." " Will our mom remember us?" " Of course she will!" " Will she fondle us?" " Of course she will!" "But now, my friends, let's set to work." "You, Vanya, go fetch some water, I'll chop wood, and Alyonushka will tidy up the room." "Lullaby, lullaby," "sleep, my son, you'll be fine." "Gotcha, milksop!" "Mommy!" " Mommy!" " Ivanushka!" "Vanya dear!" "Oh, mommy, mommy!" " Let go!" " I won't!" " Why are you so strong?" " I'm fighting for my son!" "Let go, I said!" "Have pity on me!" "Water me!" "Water Wizard Xlll is no more!" "In his place, just a pool of water!" "All our troubles are over, it's time for celebration!" "Let's have a feast such as the world has never seen." "Soldier, our dear friend, invite the guests!" "Please come, dear friends!" "Welcome!" "Welcome!" "But how can we reach you?" "Show us the way." "To show the way?" "It's simple." "Just go straight ahead." "And meanwhile, everyone who sees me, everyone who hears me, everyone who knows me," "greetings!" "We're waiting for you!" "That's the end to our story."
