thief
is courtesy.
You take the third floor,
and you the fifth. Do it!
Why are you sighing like that?
- A thieving jackal, that's what I am.
- And What are you stealing?
Today I'm the lookout...
They've done the job!
I must go.
Hey you, stop!
Come back here!
Follow me, children, and hurry!
- Good afternoon, Yevgeny Ivanovich!
- Good afternoon, children.
- Halt!
- Excuse me.
Yevgeny Ivanovich!
Where are you going?
Just like a ballet!
The white swan!
- You've seen ballets?
- Yes.
Back in 1954 my wife and I
took a vacation
and visited Moscow.
She dragged me to the ballet
day and night.
- Where's your wife now?
- got No wife.
She's passed on?
I am dead.
- We have to lie low, Docent.
- Why?
The janitor got us cased. Ifwe show
up in the street, we'll be snagged.
I want ladies' shoes...
Three pairs.
Size eleven, thirteen and fourteen.
Nice legs.
What time is it, miss?
- Quarter past six.
- Miss!
What's your name, miss?
- Tanya.
- My name's Fedya.
Stupid!
That's him!
That's the man who came to see you.
Do you want opera glasses?
They'll grab us here.
You better hole up in the john.
Come in.
Nadyusha, I have to see someone.
Here's your number.
Do you recognize me?
What do you say?
Tomorrow. Square in front of
the Bolshoi Theatre. Five o'clock.
Excuse me.
Men
- Haven't you made a mistake, ladies?
- Come on in, man!
- What are you staring at?
- Excuse me.
Where's he? We're going to get snagged
here. We should've gone to the jane.
Here comes another one.
Let's split!
The cash!
It's under a floorboard,
where I hid it!
I see.
That's him who stole the cash!
You wrong number!
- Who are you calling a wrong number?
- I'll tear you apart!
Stop it!
Break it up!
Watch out!
It has been known all along,
There's no fun without a song.
And even if it's raining today,
We should remember, I and you,
There's no reason to feel blue,
Tomorrow'll be better
than yesterday.
Wake up and sing!
Wake up and sing!
And just keep smiling,
For once in your life, darling!
Wait for me right here.
However capricious may be luck,
it chooses those who don't duck
An opportunity to laugh at one's own
wrong.
Sing going to bed, sing in your sleep,
sing in the morn!
Professor Maltsev, please.
...All that is gone
Cannot return.
It's one-way street, no going back,
And ifyou're now offthe track,
Tomorrow you'll get back in the saddle.
Wake up and sing, wake up and sing,
And just keep smiling,
For once in your life, keep smiling!
- Fedya! It's you?
- Mishka!
- How are you, fella?
- How are you doing, Fedya?
I can hardly believe it's really you!
- It's not really him.
- Hey, get outta here!
Well, what are you doing?
I work as an engineer.
And you?
Way to go!
Me?
He's a thief!
- That's not funny, granny.
- No, it's not funny.
- Come on.
- where are We going?
We'll live in the country. I've just
made connections with the fence.
- Who is he?
- Fedya Yermakov.
We were in the orphanage together.
- Stop pouting. I had to.
- Listen here, Docent.
I know you're the headman
around here.
But why say it in front of Mishka?
You've seen him.
He's not like us.
He was so happy to see me...
And you called me a thief.
- What'll he think about me now?
- You're in for a surprise.
- He will envy you!
- Envy Me?
Sure! Who is he?
Just a regular engineer.
How does he live anyway? Goes to
work mornings, comes home at night...
To his wife
and sniveling brats.
So now and then he goes to a show,
in the summer to Yalta on vacation.
Intolerable boredom!
And who are you?
A gentleman offortune, outlaw,
robber, you really live.
You steal, drink, crash into jail.
It's much more romantic!
So cheer up!
Of course, the guy envies you!
One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
Lift your knees up!
No cheating!
Fall in right here.
Quick march!
That's it.
One, two, clap your hands.
One, two, stamp your feet.
Feet higher,
don't bend your knees!
Squat!
