BRIEF ENCOUNTERS

Comrades,

dear comrades!

Dear, dear comrades!

To wash the dishes

or to leave them?

wash them or not to wash them,
this is the question!

It's always so
first one thing, then another.

Why do you complain?

You always complain.

I did not say a word to anyone

I speak alone.

Can I complain to myself?

I don't wash the dishes.

You will get angry with me, true?

Angry also, I don't care.

I don't care!

- Hello.
- Stepans Stepanovich, here.

I cannot hold that conference.

How come?

I am not experienced in agriculture,
I don't understand anything.

- Gives the job to somebody else.
- Who says?

Who better than you
can excite people?

And Serghej is on vacation
and Marchenko is sick.

Marchenko is always busy,
its within his competence,

I am already very busy
with the town economy.

- You could be useful.
- And how?

On the 22nd I have a regional conference,
I have to go there.

- What conference?
- On the water supply.

- There you go.
- How? Thinking before you speak.

I always try to do so.

Why not take her to the conference?

- I have some appointments.
- Which?

Valentina Ivanovna,

in two years
she will take my place.

Then I will be able to inform
her about my commitments

and she can tell me to deal with
one thing instead of another.

The wait is becoming
too long, good night.

"Dear comrades!

All of us know that...

All of us know that
the development of agriculture...

Dear comrades!

Dear, dear...

comrades."

Sleep, leave me alone!

I am still me.

- I was in bed.
- Me too.

We postponed the conference.

No, it's too important.

We don't want to speak
agriculture, we must act.

- When were you telephoned?
- Yesterday.

This is not the war, it is not
necessary to call at night.

Excuse me.

Maja Jefimovna sent you, right?

I thought they'd send someone older

Enter.

- What's your name?
- Nadezhda, Nadja.

Enter.

There is nothing
special to be done,

to rearrange the rooms,
to wash the dishes.

I usually eat at the table,
except when it arrives...

You.

At the moment I live alone.

- Do you come from the country?
- Yes.

How many years of school have you done?

Seven.

- And what do you think now?
- Of what?

Do you think you will keep on studying?

You can enrol
in night school, what do you think?

Take off the coat
and also the shawl.

Do you agree with night school?

Why laugh?

Have I offended you?

- The maids a houseservant or not?
- Certainly.

Give me the suitcase.

Where do you want to go at night, alone?

Even if you don't want to be a houseservant,
you can still stay here.

You can work in the factory,
if you don't like work here.

You can sleep on the couch.

Do you need to eat something?

You can also cook for me.

I broke the dishes,
the cups are all different...

Taste the biscuits,
Here is the sugar.

The biscuits are a little dry,
but very good.

My husband bought them
on his last trip.

When he brings something,
it's always in enormous quantity.

Here.

Husband...

- Have I offended you?
- No.

Then what is it?

I want to go home.

- You have not been here long?
- No, it is that there is snow.

- It is also us...
- But we are so beautiful!

- Even with us here.
- Here is beautiful.

- What is there?
- So much that I return home.

You are only tired.

You go to sleep,

I have already made the bed.

Yes, I'll go now.

You don't have the money for the ticket?

Yes, I have a lot of money.

- Enough?
- Yes.

Me...

Where I lived before,
I had everything paid.

Hi.

- Well?
- What?

Anchovies, canned fish...

- Do you live here like this?
- How?

- This way.
- How "so?"

I also must work !

- And would this be a job?
- Why?

I earn as the others, 70 a month.

They are those with no money at all,
eh, Buran?

You can also get to 150.

Debt and credit
till the first audit.

- They won't come up here.
- Instead yes.

You will earn more,

however your jacket is torn.

- It needs mending.
- I'll do it myself.

- No matter.
- Give to me.

Okay.

Semjon Semjonovich and I

we found silver.

- Those that have money!
- This is not yours.

No matter, I can send a
hundred rubles from any city.

Even a thousand, if need be.

- That is public money.
- So what?

It is for the work.

Give me some salami and a beer.

Why do you look at me this way?

We geologists are unreliable,

Today we are here
and tomorrow somewhere else.

You are still young,

don't ever cross
my road, understand?

Yes.

The guitar! Take it.

On inaccessible paths
the horses hoof,

bringing the rider
toward an unknown destination...

When you are not there.

I imagine that we are always sitting here.

But we don't ever sit here!

You returned wild,

must I tame you again?

Chain me.

How?

Put a ring in my nose

and attach me to a fine chain.

Or to a big chain.

I don't know you at all.

While here stretched out....

I see your eyes,

the cheeks, the lips...

- Ears, hair and nose.
- Yes.

All this I know.

But you ... you do not know at all.

He is lying here,
thinking of something ...

What are you thinking?

Do you sleep?

I don't think about anything.

It is strange to you?

Do you always think about something?

Perhaps, like everyone else.

Try not to think.

- Do I annoy you?
- Your saying that!

When you are not there,
I often talk to you

at times we also quarrel.

Perhaps in your thoughts
I say more sensible things.

It doesn't have anything to do with it.

Then what?

You are just different.

Better or worse?

Neither one nor the other, only different.

You always leave in a hurry

so that I never get to know you

Then I invent you, I imagine you...

Do not make me complicated,
I'm simple.

I move my legs, my arms,

the feet,

the hands...

You are not simple.

- Alive as a plant.
- I am a palm tree, a cactus!

To me you are like a plant

of another planet.

The prawns will be cooked.

The prawns will be cooked.

The prawns are cooked

and I love you, understand?

Yes.

You don't like talking.

Where did you jump out from?

Ljuba!

- When did you arrive?
- Yesterday.

You look well !

- When did you arrive?
- Yesterday.

- Come live with me.
- No, I already have a place to stay.

- Where?
- With a Lady.

Always awake, like me!

The landlady makes me clean the place,
but she is a good person.

You're careful,
Get everything agreed upon immediately,

you know as they do in the city.

Put down the cabbage!

Her husband is a General
in the Army

and the lady is so old
that she looks like a dried pear!

- What's her job ?
- She works for the local council.

I'd be happy for you to meet her!

- A neighbor has fallen in love with me.
- So you still tell lies?

- Wait.
- Where are you going?

Go ahead.

- Well?
- What is it?

I cook for her at home
and she eats at the restaurant.

- Take a seat, and we'll finish.
- And what have I cooked for?

Can I corrupt you? Raja !

- Give a cake to this young girl.
- Alright.

You know everyone by name here?

- For you it would be a waste of time?
- In the restaurants?

- A dessert?
- Two.

She has two children

They came to me for eight months
asking for accommodation.

Why didn't you give it to them?

No, housing is not enough for them.

Am I forgiven,
Nadezhda Tikhonovna?

However I don't have time,
I must go to the second building,

let it go for later on.

Ladies can I join you?

You're welcome.

What a joy, to be here with you!

Are you Nadezhda Tikhonovna?

Nadja!

I had a daughter
which was called Nadja,

the Germans killed her.

She could not escape from
the city, she had a leg missing.

It was tough under the Germans,
very hard!

What are you eating, an ice cream?

No, a dessert.

I don't like sweets.

Also this one is so old,
he always drinks home-made vodka.

In the dense and scarey

woods of Muromsk,

a group of demons

sowing fear among travelers.

As souls howl, they howl damn her,

and also the nightingales...

Did you know that Tikhomirov is dead?

What a fear, that chills!

Whose that?

You always ask me who he is.

I must have forgotten.

You seem happy that he died.

Happy?

They made him resign,

they had suggested the pension.

Then something went wrong,

they gave him another assignment.

Just to spite me,

they made him responsible
for the water supply.

- Do you understand?
- Yes, you deal with sewers.

What are you saying?

The aqueducts were invented
by the ancient Romans.

We are in the 20th century and
our city still lacks water.

It's just a small town
of the province.

You really lack a sense of humour!

It's no joking matter.

When they removed Tikhomirov,
a guy came to me.

He said that to his house the water
suddenly disappeared

and he lives on the fourth floor.

I explained that the water problems
have not been resolved yet.

But before then he had water.

Tikhomirov lived
at the same landing

and when they removed him from his position

they stopped sending the water.

They pumped the water just for him.

It's terrible.

Perhaps I am really sorry
that he died,

Indeed, I feel even
a kind of respect for him.

Fortunately, he died a natural death

or you would have poisoned him.

- True?
- It's likely.

Don't turn the knife in the wound.

I understand you.

I also have that kind of head

Many are like Nicholas II,

They turn anxiety into anger.

They enter, they howl,

they eat the words...

But remain indifferent.

What a fear, that chills!

In the spellbound swamps

inhabit the "kikimore".

You do the tickling

and take you down to the bottom

If you go walking...

My other boss was the opposite.

Blood went to his head,

but he remained quiet,

talking about football, women...

Then it suddenly exploded.

I actually thought alot,

I thought it was not worth it

and I left.

Now I am a free man,

as much as possible.

Dangerous!

- What's your name son?
- Serghej.

Serghej, son!

I too had a son,
like you,

but the Germans killed him.

The saddest thing is that
this is all true,

the Germans have killed
his son and daughter.

- But life goes on.
- I've got to go see a house?

- Can I come?
- Sure.

I try to hurry,
but they are always behind schedule.

Here she is!

- We waited for you.
- I'm late, as always!

Come on.

Serghej Petrovich,
go up to the fourth floor.

Why the fourth?

You can see for yourself
the work we did.

We have put everything right
in the entire building.

- Put everything right.
- We shall see!

You should read the letters
of complaint we recieve!

Every day they come to me

and they ask me when they will have the water.

And every time I respond.

"In one year."

There is detatched paint?

This is unimportant,

whether the case ought to be
even the paint...

And who should do the case?

We can not wait

for something that happens
once a year or once a month,

they are human beings,
they live now!

...and we think
about a stupid faucet!

Why don't the gypsies
become geologists?

They live in the same tents
and sing the same songs.

- But this is a job.
- Yes, I had forgotten.

I don't try to paint you as a heroin.

Do not try to do anything.

You try to unmask me.

Want to prove something.

Perhaps that I am a slacker

Only you live in the right,
others do not.

For you, a person
turning like a spinning top,

until you are sick.

Long live the sense of duty!

Then you respect it only.

I turn as a top because I like it.

Certain! Only you are real,
others are made of paper.

Why do we always quarrel?

Lets go, we will stop fighting.

- You are like in my head.
- Yes?

And every time you think

It's not worth anything

and escapes into the woods.

More or less so.

I really felt that I had
to tell you these things.

You had raised till now the
ideological side of the being a geologist.

With you we can't talk.

What I say is never right.

I don't want to be examined under
the microscope, I am not a worm.

I am not examining you.

I just look at you, I like it.

- Must I keep my eyes closed?
- Just half open.

I live with my eyes half open
and I'm doing very well.

It's no good preaching to me,

I am an adult and armed,

it is useless.

If you love me, you look at me
with eyes in love, blind.

Lets kiss!

You smile.

Now I understand why you are going,
but why go back?

Why?

Is it because you love me?

Everything is possible

Kirill Petrovich, begs her to give approval.

A mere formaility,
the problem lies elsewhere.

A formality for you!

We must pay
salary to the workers.

Well? Still up and down, eh?.

We had already checked the faucets.

- Yesterday there was no water.
- there was.

In a staircase there was, in another none.

It became an obsession!

- Okay, control yourself.
- Should I come with you?

No, I definately wont get lost.

- They say water is there!
- I want to check.

- Your going to see if water flows?
- Yes.

It was better in the Navy,
with no women on the ship.

It's not nice, we are here
and a woman is on the stairs.

This is not a woman,
this is a slave driver!

It's all good, right?

So-So.

That road leads to my house,
without a bend.

Here in the city water doesn't seem
water,it knows the pipes.

Then why are you going?

I don't like the sun in winter,

I like the snow,
high and thick...

without the sun.

And the silence.

- What do you have?
- Nothing.

He tells me that
he has no wife or children,

and me: "And the stamp on the passport?"

You always talk nonsense.

I was about to grab the passport,

but you have removed me from him.

I wanted to throw myself under a bus,

but you have stopped me.

Why do you laugh?

They have said
that I have all my life in front of me.

They are all lies,

your mother says that you have married him.

If it were true,

why would I come into the city with you?

I will earn a lot of money and
then head right home.

A ride!

Nobody can give me orders.

If it suits me, I wont return at all.

I will buy a pair of true
boots, not those of felt.

I like the noise of the snow
under the boots.

- "Looking for a waitress and a dishwasher."
- "Names to the bench."

There is a place to take off from,

the maid was married.

Good Luck, work a week
with us and you'll find yourself married!

Your saying, I can stay?

Perhaps yes.

We choose randomly?

You remain pure,

here it will be more boring
than in the city, I'm going.

- How many years of school have you done?
- Seven.

- Why are the glasses upside down?
- Why?

You must not leave them like that
they need water in the bottom.

My God!

You are a fool.

For example, when you pour the vodka
you must turn the measures in hurry,

so a few drops remain in the bottom.

Why do you laugh?

If a customer asks for
150 grams of salami,

do you give him 150 or 148?

For him it is the same,

you don't harm him any,

while for you it is a profit.

For two grams?

Have you really done seven years of school?

- How many people came today?
- I don't know.

70, and you know what
70 multiplied by two?

- 140.
- 140 grams.

And they are yours.

For the business
needs to start with the brain!

Otherwise where is the beautiful one?

Who would serve all this nonsense?

You understand what I'm saying?

Why in the menu
are there no flat hots?

This is not a tea room,
but a bar.

- I will cook, I like it.
- You can try.

Who are those people, gypsies?

What a fool!
They are geologists, they look for the gold.

- Here?
- No, they're waiting for someone.

A car will come for them
and they will go.

- Why does it go this way?
- As if?

It runs, we spoke on the phone...

All of these sheets,
these people who turn...

It is my job.

- What?
- It's true, maybe I should quit.

It's an idea.

Turns without ever stopping.

You mean they turn too much
for what they pay me?

No, it was easy to say.

I like when the things around me change.

It stops everything,
if you don't keep up.

There's always a way of doing more
otherwise it's boredom.

Otherwise we would have children.

I want everything.

But perhaps it is an illusion,

then you wake yourself up
and everything is equal.

Between One and Fifty years
we have made three twins!

I had come for the salt
and instead found company.

And what company!

Zina !

- How are you?
- Good.

I brought her back the books,
can I take some more?

You always ask me, of course you can.

- Do you want some Tea?
- I think so.

Take a paper.

Lidija Serghejevna,

I don't like these things.

The tea is ready.

Zina, the facts are in the paper.

Have you made good tea?

I'll pour it.

Zina, I have heard
you are about to get married,

bound to make the paper with a big picture.

Why are you teasing me?

Even at work they ask me

if I've gotten married.

What meddlers!

Leave her alone,
you should not force her to marry?

No, I must marry.

- It's your fault if they are not married.
- How?

It's this way.

I know her,
I have moved from her lap,

but not near to his.

I have started to only
read detective books

and they seem all so interesting!

It's exciting to talk to her.

To me she is interesting,
I never find you to be.

To me you are interesting,
because you talk this way?

Understand?

I had forgotten the conference on the 22nd,
I have to prepare the report

On what?

I have to convince people
to move to the country.

As adults, can I convince them?

Poor girl!

And that's what I meant,

it's his fault I haven't got married

Does he know I've liked boys before?

Those who, in the street,

People allowed to pass.

I liked them good-looking.

I now like those intelligent,

but I don't like them,

if they don't find me interesting.

Does it depend on their education?

Or on something else?

Before I wanted so much to get married

because I lived in a house,

but I am now in a hostel.

I was sad when I lived in the house,

because I saw the family around.

- What?
- The family.

The owners of the house were
a husband and wife with children.

I was suffering, I thought:
"Why am I so different from them?"

In the hostel
I have known Anja Sovelova,

a good girl,
reserved, not like me.

Aswell, she doesn't complain.

There is also Tonja Belenkaja,
she is alone, but it's for the best.

I am not suffering now,
it is good in the hostel.

Don't be sad, Zina,
facts are in the cards,

I have a light hand.

Enough of this nonsense!

Show me the cards.

I am a witch,
what I say comes true.

Hold on to the cards.

Who doesn't believe she could distract you.

Lets start.

For you, for the house, for the heart...

No, you play my favorite game,

"the oracle of the four kings."

- You choose four men.
- Four?

We'll make another game,
you choose one man only.

Have you chosen?

-How can I?
-What do you mean "How can I"?

- A dark haired man?
- No.

Anchovies and canned fish,

Dutch cheese and salami from Moscow.

Who knows when they'll bring the beer.

No Vodka, it's not a room for it

but a cafe, am I right?

What do we take, Semjon Semjonovich?

Beer, salami...

Don't be a fool!

Look here.

It may be nonsense, but it's beautiful

-See the similarities in the colors.
-For sure.

Beautiful, isn't it?

She's sitting on the armchair,
in front of the...

fireplace.

My girl!

I see something,
I tell you everything.

He waits for news of you,
of what appointments you have to do.

What is this?

An unlucky man,

he fears meeting you
and you are anxious also.

-What does she have in the glass?
-Cognac is written there.

-You don't drink cognac!
-Instead you can.

But no!

It waits for her boyfriend

and then they will drink together.

"Kherese", "Tzinandali"...

"Zaperavi"...

"Kindzmarauli"...

"Nukuzali"...

Mineral water!

Russian vodka "Stolichnaja", 40 degrees

do we deserve it?

Bring me...

-Do you know what?
-Vodka.

-This is obvious.
-A lemonade?

No, I guess.

Salami?

Bring me...

a comb, I have lost mine.

Immediately.

Here it is.

Do you think that I need it to comb myself?
You are wrong.

You make me laugh so I can't make the noise

he doesn't do this!

Haven't we passed many?

Have you found the gold?

We have found the silver,

we only looked for that.

Pity there is no guitar,
He plays very well.

Shame, I left it at home.

Patience!

I'll just buy another guitar.

Great!

-Just good.
-A man left it behind

- What's your name?
- Nadja.

Take a seat.

Nadja, little Nadja,
if only money could...

The clouds are firm above the city

in the air the scent of a storm.

Over the distant Narvskaja...

Speak to me,

at least you,

my guitar,
with your seven chords!

My soul is filled with you,

and clear like the moon

it illuminates the night.

Again,

another time

and so many other times still!

Again, another time

and so many other times still!

On the hill there is a tree,

and under that tree there is a cherry

I fell in love with a gypsy

but she married another man.

Again, another time

and so many other times still!

Again,

another time

and so many other times still!

You turn all directions.
Will you need a guide?

The guide is there,
but there are no tyres.

Neither tyres, neither time.

What should I say?
Go to the Regional Committee.

An signature here and the
mine is in your name.

-Name me your treasurer.
-Ivan Mefodievich is not a nice name.

A signature, "madame".

Don't call me "madame".

I am tired,
enough with all this talk.

You have been here since four,
my working day is over.

Why should I give you priority?

These are thee rules of hospitality,
geoligists are guests here.

-Are you a guest?
-Yes.

-You work with the Department.
-I have resigned.

And have plunged into nature,
an act that should be encouraged.

A geoligist that rots in the
offices of the department...

- Where must I sign?
- Here.

What do you need a phone?

We are civilized people,
we cannot live without a telephone

Wait a minute.

-I am very hungry!
-Happens if you don't eat.

You behave as wise
as a statesman.

- Should we go to the cinema?
- What cinema?

American! Shoot-outs,
chases on horseback...

"cow-boys" the first men on earth,
geoligist the second.

I like "cow-boys" less than
I like geoligists.

-I'm sorry I can't, I have...
-Personal Commitments

Very personal, it's my birthday.

- If it's an invitation, I accept.
- No.

I haven't organized anything,
no big party for me.

It is for me.

I invite you to celebrate
in the best tavern in the city,

-Do I seem intrusive?
-No.

We can talk on the way there,
lets go.

Hi, Katja.

-What's happened?
-It's about the apartment.

-What?
-Your getting tired of me.

So, what's new?

It's the seventh time that I've come.

The first of the month you can move in.

You had promised the 20th,
then the 25th and now the first.

-On the first you can move.
-I understand, but...

Your building is unsafe.

But you always promise
and the neighbors say...

Don't listen to the neighbors, listen to me:
on the first of the month move.

-We hope.
-Oh, please.

Goodbye.

It's the seventh time that I've come.

So, what?

I can't stand these women anymore!

Always complaints, complications...

With men everything is easier

At least at work there are only men.

-They only make trouble.
-Who, men?

No.

Zina,

the others...

When I watch a movie
or I read a book,

the women and the men
are so beautiful,

their feelings and actions
are so sensible and complete!

Also in suffering
everything is logical and correct,

there is cause and effect,
the beginning and the end.

Here everything is so vague...

Lets leave!

Instead, I'll read you
what I will say at the conference.

"Dear Comrades..."

On inaccessible paths

the horses hoof...

They recieved the telegram the other day.

One day, two...

The transport doesn't think.

True?

They will come to take us tomorrow,

or at latest the day after tommorrow.

Sit down.

I have brought your jacket

He who seeks shall find!

Some sunflower seeds.

I don't want to ruin your Sunday,
but considering that we met...

I can't spend time with you.

-There's no chance?
-No.

Why?

My friends criticize me
about becomming a bureaucrat,

always with the right foot in one
building site and the left in another.

You will tear in two.

It's already happened!

It pulls on me here and I sink.

You'll help me

-How can I help?
-Send me my order.

We have already sent it to you twice.

-The order is for the sixth building?
-Yes.

They have checked it,
but have not approved it.

We will approve it and everything will
be right, but there's no water now.

We have repaired the whole building,
it all works well,

I have checked it personally.

Here are the keys.

You send the order as soon as possible

otherwise the tenants will cry!

The quarter has expired,
it's your reward that they cry,

the tenants will cry to bringing
buckets of water to the fifth floor.

All will cry, the old,
women and children!

- You think only about the reward!
- It is already the 17th.

It's the 17th October.

The 17th October? That's my birthday

Kirill Fedotovich,

if it's all in place,
we can have a quick look now.

On Sunday? Lets break in.

Why not today?

If everythings in place,
tommorrow I will send the order.

Give me the keys, I'll go there alone.

You check?

The last time he spoke of
the windowsills.

Look here,

everything has been fixed as it should be.

The floor is in place, can't you see?

What do you hope to achieve?

Everything has been fixed in the
cheapest way, to obtain approval.

The main thing is to be able to move.

It's scandalous!

I only want to move,
you give the approval.

-How long must we wait?
-They can repair the bath later.

Who will repair it later?
No one, if we give approval now.

You will come and complain
that you don't have water.

Having an apartment is more important

-Really? You, for example...
-You need a meeting with the people.

How will you live without water?

On which floor is your apartment?

I will go and get water from the fountain

as I do now!

I need housing,

as we now live in a room.

What are you waiting for? Sign the order.

I don't know where to live,

I also have my children...

Formalize everything.

I'm going to complain.

Please!

The building will not be approved

until the water in connected.

That's all right.

-Please get out of here.
-Why?

You cannot chase us out!

We are good and will obey!

Be ashamed!

Permission to enter!

Who is honoured with this?

- What is it?
- I don't know him.

- Where is the electric outlet?
- What is it?

- You will now see him.
- But who...

Madame,

I beg you to accept
my congradulations,

my best wishes and...

I cannot talk forever
I am in a hurry!

So, madame,

I beg you to accept my wishes
and this recorder.

I assure you that the
day of the 22nd or 25th

I will have the pleasure of making
you personally my best regards.

In this city there is also home delivery!

I send you my best wishes.

It's me, Maksim.

Okay, enough.

You, sign the receipt of the delivery.

-When...
-Now.

I had also given him two pillowcases,
two sheets and two blankets.

There's some varnish?

But never return it to the hostel,
it always comes back to me.

He says: "Mother,
from you there is a good smell,

on them in no smell at all."

But from my house it is
inconvenient for him to go to work.

He can't live with Anna.

His job is a long way from my house.

It is not easy

to stay in the same room as me.

Certainly.

He says he wants to do good by Anna,

but they have gotten tired
of one another.

Do you realize?
There is no more attraction between them.

These young people!

What will happen?

He is good looking

and she's not bad either.

He is very cute,
he looks like a kitten.

I like to call him,
"young kitten."

Tell him that's what I call him.

-He has noticed you.
-Really?

He said:
"What a nice manicure you do!

Also that your husband is quite big.

It's true, your husband is big.

It's that I am tiny, not that he is big.

But I do like big men.....

Do you know what?

-What?
-Shrimp is the food of the gods.

You have already eaten a lot.

-Do you want to put them in the kettle?
-Sure!

- Will you put them in the hot water?
- The shrimps must be boiled alive.

- Haven't you ever eaten them?
- I think a long time ago.

Then you have never lived!

What is there that's better than shrimps?

See you later.

-Do you know who it is?
-Who is it?

It's Sviridova,
and you chat in that way!

Is she not a woman?
And a normal woman.

But behaves
as if she were special.

-She's not evil is she?
-Yes.

Just not bad!

A man with a beard often visits her,
he is not evil.

-Do you have mice, rats?
-Why?

No.

-In the electrical shop?
-Yes.

I have a question.

Who bought a recorder with
home delivery?

-They delivered it?
-Yes.

I wanted to know the date of purchase,
the First or after March 15th?

-It's not possible.
-Why? check the reciept.

We don't give out this information

I call from the Regional Council,
my name is Sviridova.

Wait a minute.

Here.

It was purchased on February 20th
with home delivery.

-Definately before March 15th?
-Yes.

Thank you

15 MARCH

Who will be here?

Only your husband?

Why? I have my work
and you have yours.

What job would it be, if I don't like it?

You don't love me, that's all.

Try to understand,
there are various professions.

- The sailors for years...
- You don't love me.

Why do you keep saying that?

Because I want us to be together.

Alright,

come away with me, pack your things

I'm completely serious.

Me too, take your things and we'll go.

-Should I cook you something?
-Not if you don't want to.

Let's go then.

I will give up everything
and go to who knows where?

It's here I wanted you, always "mine".

And what about me?

You are selfish!

Worse than ever,

my affair went
worse than ever.

Then suddenly,

went up in smoke,
reduced to ashes.

For a whole year

I lived happy and content,
then she left me

And here I am,

again, between my happy affairs.

Affairs!

My affair torments me every day.

They are reduced to ashes
songs and poems,

all rubbish!

-Enough!
-I have another song.

On the Vatican
it had stopped raining,

the Pope had gone...

Stop it, you cannot always play and sing!

I want you to love me other ways.

How?

I want you to let go of everything for me,

Everything you know.

You talk like a book!

I cannot stay at home
and wait for you to return.

Why at home? You have already worked
for the Director of the Mines.

The papers, the accounts...

Slowly I would start to hate you.

Where is my clock?

Where have I put it?

We belong to two different tribes,

I am of the tribe of the Mumba-Jumba

and you from the tribe of Miki-Naki.

Don't you want to us? Give us a try.

Don't you want to rest

after your wanderings?

And don't you want to rest

from this daily grind?

It's incredible!

My Dear we are not goats.

We and you eat fried men,

we start from the head,
you from the feet.

And this is the fundamental differrence.

However we are near in the spirit,
the other tribes eat boiled men.

Certain savages have not yet
been civilized

and eat men raw.

Now nobody eats men alive,
thanks to progress.

You turn everything into a joke,

you reason as if you had
an eternity before you.

And as if I was 18 years old.

Here's a clock, on my wrist.

I have forgotton are you
either 19 or 28 years,

this is the problem.

I am tired of all this,
I see us, I don't see us...

-Better not seeing at all.
-Enough!

In my life I have two jobs,

to wait and be angry
because I have waited.

I do not do anything!

You also have a job don't you?

I don't want to wait for you,
I can't do it anymore!

But you can't do anything else.

-True?
-But I can.

Go on.

Sure I can!

Besides making a useless scene,
I will have to leave anyhow.

Go away,
I don't want to see you anymore!

"Gone as you want,

miserable young goat..."

Why don't you sleep?

The light is off,

but you did not move.

I was scared.

I can't cope anymore.

I am such a difficult person!

I love him so much,
but can't stand it anymore!

Let's go to bed.

What else can I tell you?

I saw your Mother.

How is she?

Whose handkerchief is this?
It's mine, why?

How is everyone?

Will you sleep on the sofa?
It is so soft!

-Have you seen my sister?
-No.

I only saw your mother.

What does this do?

It's to make you beautiful.

I saw your mother yesterday...
or was it the day before?

The day before yesterday.

How is Verka?

She has enrolled in night school.

-Verka?
-Yes.

Dear Comrades!

We all know that agriculture...

-What?
-My speech for the conference.

She is your landlady?

...the scientific achievements.

On this matter
enough has been said,

now we must act.

It passes in the foreground...

I'm going aswell.

-How are you going? You have flat feet.
-How come?

Those with flat feet
cannot join the military

Why join the military?
When you're going.

My uncle is a great friend
of our manager,

he has spoken to him about me
and I have put in a good word for Nadia.

You also say: "I'm going.

We can't change the situation.

They tell everybody.
Perhaps we will change her.

I don't go anywhere.

What will be there that we haven't seen?

I have said this with thought.

They are not all individual people.

Are you fellow countrymen?

-Have you put the water on for the tea?
-Excuse me.

We are settled
as if it were our house.

-Why did you get up?
-Let's go, Ljuba.

Sit down.

Are you husband and wife?

No.

I live in the city, He's a General.

Maybe I'll marry one from the city.

find a boyfriend
as you should, a good one...

Why haven't you got married
in the country?

There is no one to marry.

There is no one,
they're all in the city,

there are only girls.

The old men are left,

married or too young,
still going to school.

There is Vitka, who has returned
from the military, but we have quarraled.

Am I a boy?

You have the feet...

You have the flat feet!

There are the twins Fedka and Kostka,

you should see how similar they are!

I should marry them both,

so I have two husbands at once!

Stupid people, like you,

they won't find peace anywhere,

not in the city or the countryside.

It's the second time I bring pork here
and I'm not complaining.

I don't walk worse than
those in the city

and perhaps better than the people
with their heads in the air.

How much does it cost?

The pork is three rubles,
salami five...

Five rubles? But it is so much!

So much? Have you ever bred a pig?

-No.
-Exactly.

And that says so much.

You know we need to feed the pig?
Yes

That is why it's five rubles.

I don't want any,
but it still seems so much.

Are you offended?

You'll enjoy it take it.

If you return to the city,
come visit us.

Thank you.

If you could set her straight...

-Who?
-Ljuba.

- You show her how to behave like us.
- Why?

I have serious intentions but her...

Why does she always have
to wonder aimlessly for the city?

She also talks to you...

-I will try.
-We are not that poor.

Do you feel ayou are a traitor?

I'll go, the landlady is waiting for me.

I have to go to the cinema,
even though I went yesterday.

Who is there?

I don't understand.

It wont start!

Have you touched yet?

He didn't want to...

It cannot be made so!

Instead you can.

Why do you say this?
You know he served me.

It's a lot of foolishness.

Why?

It's a lie.

-Is is not true...
-Yes, it's true!

But at the same time it's not true.

Why should those of city
go to the country?

They must not all go,
only the most aware.

How long will they stay aware?

-We must love these things.
-Do you love them?

Yes.

-Then why have you not gone?
-I wasn't sure but now I know.

You're right, everyone
must take care of their own things.

Today I have the conference
on water supply.

-At least I know my speech.
-I'll be going.

Why?

Do you want me to let you
into the factory?

The factory?

- Zina says that the hostel is beautiful.
- You can keep on living here.

No, I'll go.

I have grown fond of you,
it would be sad here without you.

But it is always full of people!

I know.

You have already been in the factory
and the cafeteria,

there was a lot of people.

In the country returning from work
I ate too much minestrone.

I paid at the cafeteria,
but didn't eat a thing.

-Why?
-I was ashamed.

42-30 ?

Hello?

Miss, give me the line!

-Here it is the service intercity.
-Hello?

You speak.

- Now Listen Okay.
- Who is it?

It's me!

Valja, you listen to me?

You listen.

- Listen...
- How?

I can't hear you!
- I arrive tomorrow.

-No.
- What do you mean "no" ?

Not tomorrow?

- I thought you would't come again.
- Why?

- Never again.
- Why?

I thought you would not come again.

I thought so too,

you did throw me out

Do you hear me? I arrive tomorrow!

- He arrives tomorrow.
- But I leave.

Yes, leave.

In autumn we will build a mine...

We must get a start.

First they will set up
a cafeteria, like always.

What will you be? A cook.

You'll need to manage.

Your man, he went away?

He went to look for gold.

You go, stroll about with the first one
that understands, and I'll wash the dishes.

Miss, where are you going?

I have found a new place to live.

It's in the city, it will be ready soon.

It isn't now

- This is for you...
- Thank you.

Is it a family member?

No, me...

He had promised me a job as a cook.

Careful with the suitcase!

Pick it up or you'll forget it.

Let's go!

Hello Miss.

Why not greet me?

You must greet people!
