tyrant, damn you! What's going on, damn it! Some merry-go-round. The Whites rob us, the Reds rob us. What is a peasant to do? They come here, and we shout: "Hurray! Hurray!" Damn them! Are they your boys plundering in the village? Did you let them to? Me? I don't know nothing about it. Do you realize what it means? All right, we'll talk tomorrow. And now you're under arrest. Who's under arrest? Me? A war commander? This is not something to toy with. Stupid. Arrest him. Wait. First issue an order, so that everything be returned. - Where's Zhikharev? - He's here, under arrest. - You know Zhikharev's my comrade-in- arms? - I know. - And you arrest him? How dare you? You red-tape worm! - And do you know that he allowed... - Never mind what he allowed! What he allowed, only I can forbid! You get it? No, Comrade Division Commander! Who's heading the division? You or I? You... and I. I'm Chapayev! Do you understand that I'm Chapayev? And you? Who are you? Who sent you here? Want to have a free ride on my fame? Get the hell out of my division! I don't need your fame. As for recalling me from the division, only the Party that sent me can do it. You're a Communist too, so you must know that. Comrades, citizens, Red Army men, who is Chapay among you? - I am. - Aren't you lying? No, I am not. I'm him. Then I'm here to see you. Thank you very much. Your boys have returned everything, to the last thing. Otherwise it was some merry-go-round: The Whites came and robbed us. The Reds came and started robbing too. What is a peasant to do? So thank you again, from all our community. Commissar, call up a meeting, I'll be speaking. Vassily Ivanovich, the Commissar seems to be a... - And I thought he's a... - You thought... They wouldn't send some nobody to Chapayev. What's going on, comrades? Such a disgrace for our division! The entire Red Army's been smeared! Who are you robbing? You're robbing your brother, the peasant! We're sacrificing our lives for that peasant and for the worker. 'Gainst 'xploitation, 'gainst all sort of capital! Is that what the Chapayev men famous for? Are we some bandits? So watch out, heroes! I'll shoot everyone who'll be caught plundering. With this hand of mine, I'll shoot the bastard! And if I'm caught, go ahead and shoot me! I'm your commander only in action. When at ease, I'm your comrade. Come to see me at midnight and later. If I'm drinking tea, join me. If I'm having dinner, help yourself. That's a commander I am. Am I right? Right! I weren't taught in academies. I ain't finished any. Vassily Ivanovich, men are wondering. Are you a Bolshevik or a Communist? What? Tell me, are you for the Bolsheviks or for the Communists? I'm for the International. - Which one, Second or Third? - What second? - The International. - I'm for the right one. - So Which one? - Lenin was in which one? - The Third. He founded it, the Third Bolshevistic. Then I'm for the Third International, too. That's it. And even ahead of time. Good for you, Anka. You excelled in technology. So much for the studies, Anka. Now you're buddies with the Maxim gun. Remember what you said about being heroes with women?.. I'm going to pay a visit to the Whites. Chapay and the commissar sent me on an important mission to get a prisoner. - Can you? - I can do anything. Don't even try it! I've taken out the charges. Drop the gun and no tricks! Have you got many perches? Craving for fish soup? Some bungler. - It's for Mit'ka... - For whom? - For Mit'ka... My brother. He's dying... he wants fish soup. -Is he wounded or what? - No. Lashed with ramrods. With ramrods? And you serve them after that? Mit'ka's dying... He wants fish soup... Please let me go. - And you let him go? - I did, Vassily Ivanovich. - But I've got his gun. You scatter-brain! Under tribunal, you loafer! Yes, under tribunal. And you should make yourself more ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Аэроплан! на английском - текст Осень в семействе Кохаягава на английском - текст Русский ковчег на английском - текст Набалдашник и метла на английском - текст Рыжая Соня на английском |
