I swear to God!
- It's as simple as that.
- Yes. And very truthful.
- What did you do in the plane?
- I flew.
- Flew?
- Sleeping.
I slept...
Supposing you don't remember
how you got on that plane.
But you have to remember
how you got out of it.
Yes! I have to.
But I don't.
But I do remember
that I came here by cab.
I said my home address,
and the driver brought me here.
Supposing the key fit.
Nadya, please...
Supposing the key fit,
the address was the same,
but you had to notice,
that the furniture was different!
It's the same!
But there's a mess here,
because the people have just moved in.
We've also just moved in!
Me and my mother.
That's enough!
Here's 15 Rubles, now leave.
You don't know how grateful I am,
friends!
You have to pay for your pleasures.
I can't leave
without kissing you good-buy!
You could have at least
waited until I leave.
- Ippolit, wait!
- Who do you take me for, an idiot?
Ippolit!
- What did you tell him?
- The truth.
What truth?
Would you please help me
to my feet.
I wore myself out with you folks.
I told him, we go to this bathhouse.
On December 31.
It's a tradition we have. We wash every year.
That's exactly what I told him.
Please don't cry.
I'll go get him. Ippolit!
Wait, don't leave!
Ippolit! Sorry, I don't know
your patronymic.
Wait!
Don't leave! Wait!
Don't bee a fool!
Be a man, for Christ's sake!
He left.
He drives faster than I run.
Here, take your 15 Rubles.
Thank you,
I'll wire the money tomorrow.
I hate you. You ruined my life.
He will come back, believe me.
You'll see.
The hot-tempered and the jealous
don't bear grudges for too long.
If you only knew,
how well I understand you.
My situation is even worse.
A woman is waiting for me
in Moscow in an empty apartment.
The woman I love.
And here I am, in Leningrad.
And?
She doesn't know where you are?
No, she must be hysterical.
- Call her.
- I don't have a telephone card.
Call credit. Through the operator.
You are a sympathetic person.
- Do you mind if I take my coat off?
- Whatever.
Thank you.
Operator!
Happy New Year!
I need to make a phone call.
To Moscow.
Number in Moscow? 454-60-21.
Who will answer? Galya.
That is, if she answers.
In Leningrad? One moment please.
Stay there!
- What is your number?
- 14-50-30.
Operator! 14-50-30.
When?
Can you make it faster?
She said, within an hour.
Oh, God...
I'll wait on the landing, and you
will call me.
Or you can explain everything
yourself.
And I'll go.
Oh no, you sort out your own
problems.
2 minutes to go before the New
Year.
Open the Champagne.
It's in the fridge.
No luck again. It's just not my day!
I'm sorry.
Happy New Year.
What's your name?
Nadya.
I'm Zhenya.
Happy New Year, Nadya.
Same to you.
What a good beginning of a new
year.
Couldn't be better.
That's true.
There is an omen:
You will live through the new year
the same way you see it in.
What doctor are you?
I'm a surgeon.
And what are you?
A teacher.
I teach Russian and literature.
Literature - that's wonderful.
I have to find out, when's the first
flight to Moscow.
- How do I do that? - There's a
telephone book over there.
Hello? Operator? Happy New Year.
When is the first flight to Moscow,
please?
That's the first one?
It's at 7 a. m.
Nadya, don't worry. I'll leave as
soon as I talk to Galya.
I'm beginning to think, you will
never leave here.
Please don't worry.
Everything will be fine.
There's Moscow now!
Moscow?!
I think it was Ippolit.
- Who?
- Ippolit.
Why did you have to pick it up? Who
asked you to?
How was I supposed to know? I
thought it was Moscow.
I'm terribly sorry.
Hello! Hello!
Leningrad?
I'll answer it!
Hello? Yes, Moscow.
Moscow? Hello!
Would you please.
- Galya, darling, it's me.
- You are in Leningrad?
Thanks for calling anyway.
Galya, Happy...
Happy New Year.
You called to wish me a Happy New
Year?
- Not only that.
- I'm touched.
I will explain
