Every journalist throughout their career may deal with complicated interviewees.

For example, hostile people,

those who don't want to interact, or simply rude people.

It's been three days since I started waking up fat again.

Those three days became even worse than the previous 20 years of my life.

I wish I hadn't found out what it felt to be slim.

When you could find the clothes of your size in every store.

When you looked at yourself in the mirror not just out of bare necessity,

like to pluck the eyebrows, but just like this - with no reason at all.

And it didn't ruin the mood.

And when your friend monitor wasn't just the only person beside you,

but also the one you were thinking about each and every minute was there.

Under some circumstances you should stop interacting...

What if I remain slim only in photos?

Vershinina!

Repeat the task that I've just given to you.

What are you thinking about?

If it's better to eat sausages with mayonnaise or ketchup. Or put both at once.

Just for you, Vershinina, I'll repeat.

For the next class you'll have to interview any famous person.

You may be free.

If only he knew that Vika is closer than he thinks.

Just under one layer of fat.

- Hello? - Hi!

You're finally answering the call! You disappeared so suddenly from the cinema.

Listen, you could have just told me that you didn't want to watch that movie.

It wasn't the main reason.

What was it then? Is there something wrong with me?

No, Nikita, it has nothing to do with you.

I can't tell you everything now, I'm sorry.

I'll explain it to you later, I promise. I'll call you!

- Okay? - Okay. I'll be waiting.

- Bye. - Bye.

I'll lose weight myself! Whatever it takes!

And then I'll be at her place.

ANGELICA

Why should I be going shopping with you?

I'm that not good-looking friend who helps you with the coursework, after all.

For all this foolish stuff you have Kristina.

Kristina is busy with her coursework.

Today she is that not good-looking friend.

Zhenya, I didn't mean it! You are very pretty, really!

I just can't gather my thoughts.

I haven't been eating for six hours!

Well, it's nothing, I can do this!

- I can. - As if it's your first diet.

I didn't know then that Nikita would like me.

Kristina!

Is she working that hard on her coursework?

Maybe, her brain blew up because of knowledge?

I hope not. She did her hair so beautifully this morning.

It would be such a shame!

Kris...tina.

Roman... Alekseevich.

Quiet! Don't wake Roma up.

What is Roman Alekseevich doing here?

Naked Roman Alekseevich, to be more precise.

Roma and I were writing the coursework

but then we moved to the extracurricular activity.

I didn't expect you to come this early.

Kristina, what were you actually thinking when you brought him in here?

What if I turn in front of him? Haven't you thought of that?

- Exactly. - Where should we meet?

At the university? Where the Dean with the papers is?

I don't know. At his place, for example.

He doesn't have it.

He gave his apartment to his ex-wife and now lives at his friend's.

Lika, he really helps me with the coursework. I can't do it on my own.

Cookies!

Cookies! Cookies!

Cookies!

Alright then.

Let him come.

I mean, he can help you with the coursework and that's it!

Do your extracurricular activities someplace else.

Kiselyova!

It's time to resit your exam.

But don't forget about the whipped cream this time...

Candies!

Well, Kristina.

Finish your coursework and don't bring him in here after that.

Mom invites me to her place tomorrow morning.

Fine, I'll come and ask her about the diet.

- I'll miss classes tomorrow. Can you... - No!

I'll mark you absent anyway.

You're becoming stupid because of your diet.

What is going to happen to you if you start missing classes?

INNA, 39. MY MOTHER. AWESOME, RIGHT?

This is my beautiful mother.

She's Miss Moscow 1993, by the way.

But she tells everyone that she's Miss Moscow 2007.

Anzhela, baby, I'm so glad to see you!

Mom, I asked you not to call me Anzhela like a thousand times.

- How are you, sweetie? - I'm fine.

It was my birthday recently.

Do you think I forgot about it?

Actually, I've got a present for you.

Mom hasn't changed a bit.

When she was 17, she was offered a job in New York.

But I was going to be born in several months.

Mom was dreaming to shine in Manhattan but she ended up in a maternity hospital No. 3.

With no job offer but with four-kilo me in her hands.

Here.

Be beautiful, healthy and slim!

Thanks.

IVAN DAVIDOVICH SHULTS, 43. A LEGISLATOR

Of course the whole fraction is voting unanimously.

As usual.

You too. Yes.

- Hello, Ivan Davidovich. - Good morning, Anzhela.

It's been a while since you came by.

This is mom's husband, a legislator.

And I still don't know who my father is.

I hope, one day mom will tell me about him.

- Ivan Davidovich? - Yes?

May I interview you tonight?

It's my university assignment.

- To interview me? - Yes.

Unfortunately, I can't. I'm invited to one event tonight.

What event?

Come back home earlier, darling.

- Inna, dear, the traffic will be insane. - What traffic?

You have a blinker! You turn it on even when you go fishing.

So, please don't forget to turn it on when you're coming home.

He agreed. At seven.

Oh, thank you!

Mom is very jealous of her legislator.

She should! As she herself stole him from some gymnast.

Be back by 7. And don't turn off your phone.

Surely!

Here's your coursework.

Holy smokes! Why did you do that?

Oh, I got it. How much do I owe you? I don't have the money now, you know.

You owe me nothing. I was just bored yesterday.

I've never heard that someone can write a coursework out of boredom.

Is everything alright? I thought, you were writing an article.

I finished the article. And you can hand in your coursework right away.

And stop torturing Roman Alekseevich.

I mean, Lika.

Thanks.

You decided to lose weight, Anzhela?

I can't believe it! I've been dreaming about it since your birth!

If the food is tasteless like this, I can change my mind.

To lose weight even more? Be careful, the next step might be anorexia.

DI, 15. LIKA'S SISTER. 39 KILOS

This is my half sister Diana.

Mom is very proud of her,

as Diana takes part in fashion shows five times a week.

And I'm just studying to be a journalist. For free.

I've been thinking,

I should arrange a meeting for Anzhela with our nutritionist - Iakov Borisovich.

His pills work wonders! Each and everyone in Moscow is said to take them.

Do you think it will help?

Mom, why haven't you said it before? I need to visit him right now!

- Can I go today? - Today?

Nastya Volochkova has been trying to get an appointment for two months!

- And you say today. - How long have you been waiting?

We didn't wait at all. Ivan Davidovich just made it happen.

Well, not exactly he did it, but his documents.

Can Ivan Davidovich and his documents help me then?

No, he's got tired of it.

He has to get off this doctor's son from the traffic police officers every day.

So, I'd better do it myself.

But you'll have to wait for about half a year.

No, I've been waiting for 21 years already. That's enough!

ABRAMYAN IAKOV BORISOVICH A NUTRITIONIST

- Hello. I... - Hello.

We'll be glad to see you in six months. Everything is booked till summer.

I know, but...

I'm here from Ivan Davidovich.

- One moment, please. - I'm sorry, Ivan Davidovich,

let's presume this is your present for my birthday.

- Come in, please! - Thank you!

Fine, she can go. She needs it more.

Roma, how is your interview?

Tell me more. "Fine" is not enough.

Great! My congratulations. Tell me everything in detail tonight.

Okay, love you.

What interview did Roman Alekseevich have?

He's got a job offer in Petersburg.

He's got tired in here, the Dean is constantly threatening him.

So, he decided to move to Petersburg.

Petersburg? Are you coming too?

Yes. I'll transfer to the Petersburg university.

It's not Moscow but not Saratov as well.

Burdukovskaya, will you look after our dumpling?

- What dumpling? - Oh dear.

You mean Lika. Yes, I will.

The numbers are fine.

Your body mass index is above normal, but you can see it, right?

Don't worry, we'll fix it!

You'll come to thank me later unless the wind blows you away.

So, we'll start with the main medicine of mine.

I guess, you've heard of it. You can take it now.

But don't wait for instant results.

The long and hard way is...

It really works!

Granny, I didn't ask you!

Thank you for the pills, I need to go now. Goodbye!

What! Where are you going?

You will be the face of our company!

THE LETTER OF RESIGNATION

Hello, Burdukovskaya. What's it in your hands?

- That's mine. - In the Dean's office? Show me.

Did you want to steal it?

To save your friend and this poor man as well?

- He's a good man! - Oh really?

So you wanted to save Roman Alekseevich but not your friend.

It doesn't even surprise me anymore.

You stopped caring about studying, Burdukovskaya.

Although, don't even start. Sit down and start writing the same letter.

Stealing is bad. Why are you so tensed?

You don't care about studying, you care about Roman Alekseevich.

The article you wrote about bribing in the educational system is great, though.

- Just take it and print it in newspapers. - Thank you.

You know, Burdukovskaya, I can forget about it.

And give you the papers.

- Just like that? - Of course not. For a little favor.

For your article.

- You want me to give you my article? - Why not?

I'm lacking time now.

And having an article published in a good newspaper is always great.

- I can't give you my article! - That's odd.

I thought you would do it out of friendship or love.

- Think about it, Burdukovskaya. - I...

I can't.

Veronika, your coursework...

- I'm sorry. - What happened?

- Roman Alekseevich, forgive me, please. - Zhenya!

Zhenya!

Granny, this was not the best moment, you know?

I barely managed to run away from that crazy doctor!

Ivan Davidovich?

Hello, I'm calling you about the interview.

I don't think I will get to your place in time,

as I don't have a blinker. So, can we meet in a cafe downtown?

Yes, great!

See you then.

Roma, you are so strict!

Is it hard to wait till we're home?

- It is! - Indeed!

Margarita Sergeevna, we were discussing the consultation.

It may look different, but taking into account our letters...

Relax. There are no letters anymore.

By the way, Kiselyova,

you've got the best coursework among others. Excellent.

I guess, Roman Alekseevich's consultations were very helpful.

I don't get it. What's going on with her?

I need to think.

BRIBING IN EDUCATION

WRITTEN BY MARGARITA TASHKINOVA

CAFE "BY THE DUMA"

Here you are.

- I'm so sorry, I'll bring you another one. - Don't worry.

Hi, dear.

Sweetheart, where are you? Lika is coming soon.

But she asked me to meet her downtown.

- I'm in the cafe "By the Duma" now. - Why didn't she tell me?

I don't know that, dear.

Sorry, I can't talk now.

- Good evening. - Hello.

I'm here instead of Lika - she couldn't come.

- Do you mind? - Of course not!

- All in favor! I'm Ivan. - Victoria.

- Nice to meet you. Please take a seat. - Likewise. Thank you.

MOMMY

Excuse me!

- Yes? - Cancel the celery.

- Bring us a bottle of champagne. - Alright.

To begin with.

Come on, Burdukovskaya, tell me the truth.

- What are you talking about? - Don't make a fool out of me. I got it.

First, you wrote a coursework for me

so that Roma and I would stop doing this at Lika's place.

Then you were so worried that the Dean had caught us.

And when you found out about Petersburg, you somehow managed to steal those letters.

- I underestimated you. - Well, you shouldn't have.

Because I lied about Petersburg, and you believed it!

You don't like that Roma and I are together. You want us to break up.

You are in love!

You love me!

And you've always liked girls

and you've never had a boyfriend, am I right?

I see.

Ivan Davidovich, what is your greatest political achievement?

My greatest political achievement is meeting you, Victoria.

And I suggest drinking to it.

But...

And to Russia.

But we have just started.

- Don't you love your country? - I love it.

You can't enter with your coat on.

So, this is how the interview with Anzhela looks like.

Inna, please, not in front of all these people. It's not my fault, she came here.

Did she take off your ring as well?

I'll show you the interview.

And you too!

Let's go outside.

Run, Victoria!

Well, you wanted a rich daddy? This daddy is taken.

If I see you near him or my house again,

I'll rot you and all your relatives!

Now I'll never be able to tell my mom that this is really me.

Knowing how much your mom worries for her legislator, you're lucky to be alive!

Everything is so confused now.

Lika, of course I'm sorry for you, but also I feel sorry for my clothes.

You know that I can control neither my transformation, nor my mom.

You won't get my clothes anymore then!

You are a true friend. Where should I take the clothes from?

Maybe, I should wrap myself in curtains.

Or should I wear old mom's clothes that granny didn't allow to throw away?

Fine.

Well, here!

Banana jeans.

- They are cool, right? - Yeah.

A T-shirt with Leonardo DiCaprio on it.

- Does it suit me? - It does. Cool clothes!

I'm taking this sweater. I'll be like a hipster.

What's this?

It's my granny in her youth. She's beautiful, isn't she?

- I see who your mom took her beauty from. - Yes.

And who is this?

Is it granny too?

But it's her fat edition.

It means, granny had the same weird thing.
