Constantinople! - Exactly! - To the hospital, Maria Konstantinovna. Well, brother Janizary... We are done... Finished! And what a lovely battle it was! I won in vint a white felt cloak... White... White, white... ...like snow. It was a lovely battle, brother Janizary! Stop, stop! Viva! Don't you recognize me? Excuse me... I am Tihiy. I almost hanged you in Crimea, do you recall? You are so inattentive to people! I humbly ask for 10 - minute confidential conversation, considering our old acquaintance. - Be brief. I am leaving for Paris. - I won't delay you, Your Excellency! - I am listening. - I will be brief. My perspective is an almshouse. Too bad. - I have a principle not to lend anyone. I don't ask. Not due to the pride, but because I know who I am dealing with. - Sit down. - Thank you. I want to work. - I am sorry, but I don't need you. - Yes, you do. - No, I don't! - Yes, you do, you do! Let me explain. I made a huge study to clarify the political picture among emigration. I gathered data about many people that might be of interest. Excuse me, but what does it have to do with me? I am not in the least interested. I have processed and registered the collected data in relation of intellectual qualities, as well as the peculiarities and features of characters! This will give certain guarantee of not making a mistake while using a person. Well, this is smart, but what do I have to do with it? I am not interested in politics. Yet, out of mere curiosity - let me read it! - Well, only if out of curiosity... - Out of mere curiosity... Here, for example. So... Gregory Lukyanovich Charnota... Due to the lack of time and not to tire you, I will read selectively... For example, the "merits" column, "Landowner. In 1918 lost his manor and stud farm in Chernihiv. Was at war, in theory healthy. Sly. Brave. Lucky in cards." In total 107 merits. And here is the "Weaknesses" column. "Drinks... Hot-tempered. Straightforward. Sly. Brave."... - Excuse me, you've just listed these characteristics as merits! - That's right! Sly and brave are both merits and weaknesses, depending on the situation. Let me continue. Thank you for entertainment and I won't keep you any longer. I am sorry, I didn't keep within the time... I strongly ask for 3 minutes more! Here is this folder... The title is "Paramon Ilych Korzukhin". - Me? - That's right. Excuse me, Your Excellency. - Well, it's curious. - Allow me to skip the biography, I hope you know it. - Yes, I do. - Here is a curious article. "Political beliefs". It's written: "Is not interested in politics..." Pardon... It is generally known. You do not need to be very perspicacious to... - It's true, but I have a footnote in this article. - What? A footnote! - Oh, a footnote! - That's right. Here it is: "Connected with organizations aiming to restore the overthrown system in Russia. In the recent months had 7 informal meetings with persons concerned." - I did? - That's true, you did! "Finances a newspaper in Russian through men of straw... " - Enough! - Yes, sir! - What can you do? - Everything! Shoot, cook halvah, shoe a stallion, open a safe, falsify documents, assist in childbirth, write an article... sing... in the choir. Tenors sing: "Those evening bells..." We sing: "Bom-bom..." They: "Those evening bells...", and we: "bom-bom, how many a tale their music tells..." Of youth, and home, and those sweet time... Bom-bom... Enough! - Yes, sir! - You moved me. What is your full name? - Just Tihiy. You are an intelligent person, Mr. Tihiy. I will think what I can do for you. I need faithful people. Remember - faithful. - Allow me one question, Your Excellency. - Please. Do you have any doubts that I would have hanged you, if oredered respectively? Not in the least. I am certain of that. - Your Excellency... - Eat, eat! - Thank you! - Did you hear? - Yes, sir! Give
