taking off now? To Georgievsk?
- Yep.
- Listen, friend--
- He won"t allow it.
Who won"t allow it?
- The lieutenant.
- Do you understand what"s going on?
I understand perfectly.
It"s not allowed. It"s strategic cargo.
- Hay is strategic cargo?
- Depends on who it"s for.
- For horses. Who else?
- Depends on what kind of horses.
Fine, your hay is strategic!
But you"ve got to understand.
I"ve come from the front.
I"m on leave. I"ve already used up
half a day and I only have two.
I understand perfectly,
but the lieutenant won"t.
- What kind of man is he?
- Him? A beast! Got it?
Listen, let"s forget
about the lieutenant.
I"ll climb into the car
and he won"t know anything about it.
As if I feel like getting
court-martialed for you.
Why court-martialed?
You set the wagon on fire,
and I get court-martialed.
- Why on earth would I set it on fire?
- How would I know?
What do you have in that bag?
Maybe something flammable?
It"s just canned beef. Look.
Canned beef?
So, you"re trying to bribe a guard?
- What? Give me that!
- What"s with you?
I was just kidding.
What, you can"t take a joke?
Well, you convinced me.
Climb in.
Not a sound. Got it?
Got it.
Where are you going?
Let me go! Mama!
Let me go, you scoundrel!
Let me go!
What are you doing?
You"re crazy!
You fool!
Leave me alone!
What have I ever done to you?
Don"t come near me!
- Are you insane?
- If you come near me, you"ll find out.
- Don"t even think about it.
Get away from the door.
Get away, I tell you!
- I won"t.
What"s with you?
- What"s with you?
- Why do you keep screaming?
- Don"t come near me.
- Then get away from the door.
I won"t.
I was right. You"re insane.
Well, to hell with you.
Go ahead and jump!
Break your neck!
Why should I?
We"re stopping soon.
Open the door. I"m getting off.
Keep away
from the military transport.
Anyone caught
will be court-martialed.
Hey, citizen, I"m talking to you!
Anyone caught will be shot!
- There"s no point in that.
- It"s all your fault.
I threw my things out
because of you.
You would have killed yourself.
It"s none of your business.
Quit pestering me.
Pestering you?
You jumped into the car yourself,
and I"m pestering you?
Then why were you hiding
in the straw?
- You think I was hiding from you?
- Who else?
From the lieutenant!
What lieutenant?
The one in charge of the transport.
He"s a beast.
I snuck on the train, too.
If they catch me,
they"ll make me get off.
I"ll have to wait
for a passenger train, or even fly.
I"m scared of bigger things than you.
I thought you were the lieutenant.
I had a terrible fright
and got slapped in the face,
and it"s all my fault.
I had everything in my bag:
my things, some bread, a skirt.
Everything.
It"s nothing.
When you go back,
you can find your bag.
- You think so?
- Of course. Where could it go?
It"s probably waiting for you
on a bridge somewhere right now.
This train just keeps
going and going.
We"re pulling in.
When you get off,
go quickly so nobody sees you.
What if I can"t find my bag?
You know what?
Don"t get out.
I have some food
and the car is comfortable.
No, I"d better get out.
Any chance you"ll stay?
No.
Someone"s out there.
Yes.
Want a bite to eat?
Eat?
No, thanks. I"m full.
If you want any,
you"re welcome to it.
Don"t be shy.
Look at this salo.
- Salo?
- Yes. Try some.
Well, maybe just a little piece.
Like it?
Dry rations.
I love the wafers too.
Remember, before the war?
- I lived in a village before the war.
- I lived in a city.
- Are you mad at me?
- For what?
Because I hit you.
It happens.
It made us friends.
-Stepanov, do you have the tarpaulin?
- No, Gavrilkin has it.
Call Gavrilkin.
Gavrilkin, do you have
the tarpaulin?
Please forgive me.
I was so foolish.
Me, too. I frightened you.
You know what?
Let"s introduce ourselves.
Let"s.
My name is Alexei.
And mine is Shura.
- Pleased to meet you.
- Pleased to meet you.
- Where
