group of centaurs
Rushes somewhere,
Maybe, out for a stroll,
maybe, with a serious
task.
She's busy
with our amateur group.
-This man is also waiting.
-Waiting, very much so.
l have an order.
What is it?
l'm so happy for you, Alyona!
Come back after lunch.
-Think she'll sign it?
-Of course she will.
Then l'll go have lunch.
l'll go have lunch, too.
Nightfall in the XX century.
My heart is uneasy,
l'll lean on a birch,
Silent under the skies.
Close my eyes
And maybe l'll hear
how stars, like blue cobbles,
Ring under centaurs' feet.
Centuries have passed,
And they're gone
without a trace.
But l'm sure: centaurs,
centaurs existed!
Centaurs, where have you
gone? Where?
Centaurs!
Centaurs!
Centaurs!
Centaurs!
Centaurs!
And you want to show this
to the committee?
ln this form -
it will not do.
l believe
it's not that bad:
Energetic, light.
You? Here?!
Disappear, all ofyou!
Why so strict, Kira?
So that you don't stare
where you're not supposed to.
That's something new.
For the first time in 7 years
you're jealous.
You came in so unexpectedly.
l just came to say good-bye.
You're angry?
Consider the circumstances.
lt's the last time.
The service sector, Kira,
is infinite.
lt's endless,
like the Universe.
And just as eternal.
Unlike us.
l promise.
As soon as you return.
l'm tired!
Magicians can go round
in circles, too.
Not easy to love a witch?
lt's not easy not to be loved.
You are loved.
Bless you.
Yes... one needs
sound health to work here.
l'm not sure we'll see
each other in private
before the New Year.
So, here it is.
-lt's for you.
-Not that, please!
Why not?
l already have 13 watches,
all from you.
Let us stop
at that magic number.
But l don't have any other
present for you.
Here's what you can bring me!
You're something!
One can't really be angry
at you.
-You are still a child!
-l'm a woman.
And that says it all.
That's enough!
Hello... Speaking.
Rumor guaranteed.
Excellent!
Long live rumors!
All l hear is ''no'' from you.
-Once l said ''yes.''
-When was that?
You asked, whether
l hear you.
-Season's greetings, Alyona.
-Thank you for helping me out.
l'm so glad to see you
beaming.
-Up to something vile?
-No, pure.
l'm getting married.
Congratulations
from all my heart.
ls that the guy?
Of course not! He's in Moscow.
l'm flying out tonight.
-Night flight?
-Yes.
l'm on the same flight!
Then you'll be a witness
at our wedding.
l gladly accept
this invitation.
And, please, accept this,
without delay, so to speak.
l hope you like it.
Thank you.
l'm very grateful to you!
lt's so unexpected!
-Thank you very much.
-See you at the airport.
-Hope you're not late.
-Very unlikely now!
-l must talk to you.
-Not to me.
Our talking cat, or, rather,
silent cat, has run away.
-Which cat was that?
-There's only one!
You just mentioned
two.
You told him to see you
in 2 days - and scared him!
l didn't invite cats.
And you will come to my office,
as scheduled.
Could you tell me the way
to the director's office?
First turn to the left,
then to the right.
So, it's first turn
to the left.
-And the finished products?
-You'll see.
Although, Alyona
is flying out tonight.
And l'm not well-versed
in music, or pop groups.
They might send us something
unsuitable.
You've told her
my instructions?
She wouldn't
listen.
That's strange. What's wrong
with her? Tell me.
There is one thing.
Marriage.
-She's getting married.
-That changes everything.
To lvan Stepanovich
Kivrin.
-What's the matter?
-Nonsense!
Who on earth gave you
that idea?
Facts, as they say,
can be quite stubborn.
Does that surprise you?
He's handsome, free!
She...dresses quite well.
You look upset.
-Give me the facts.
-They are evident to everyone.
lt was he who prevailed on you
to accept the wand's design.
You wouldn't have ever
accepted its democratic look.
-Go on.
-Her fiance's name is lvan.
The whole lab
