Long live Tsar Boris Fyodorovich!
Long live our father, our tsar!
Glory!
Damn!
Hey, what's the matter?
No electricity again!
It's outrageous!
Timofeyev has burned the fuses again!
- Comrade Timofeyev, when will it end?
- I'm finishing.
When will be the end
of your experiments
which leave our whole building
without electricity?
There you go.
Ivan Vassilyevich, if you knew
what an important invention
I'm working on, you wouldn't have
said that.
Experiments with electricity
should be done at your office,
and at home electricity must be used
only for peaceful, domestic purposes!
How many times did I tell you...
I'm on leave, so I work at home.
And anyway, my experiments are safe.
As the public representative,
I demand that you stop it!
Today you've burned the fuses,
tomorrow you'll burn the house!
STUPID
And what is this?
You see?
That's the result. Pah!
I'll need to raise the voltage.
Dangerous! Of course, it's dangerous,
but, as they say, nothing ventured...
Your only love
is not so easily found.
Our planet's turning,
round and round.
The planet's flying
in everyday beat.
It's very hard
to fall in love on it.
A winter blizzard is raging,
And thunderstorms are blazing,
And stars in the sky are racing,
and cities din in the rain.
And people don't see each other,
They just pass by each other,
They always lose each other,
Never to find again.
But there's somewhere
my only love,
My unforgettable,
My true big love.
I look for it,
But in everyday beat
It's hard for us to meet.
A winter blizzard is raging,
And thunderstorms are blazing,
And stars in the sky are racing,
And cities din in the rain.
And people don't see each other,
They just pass by each other,
They always lose each other,
Never to find again.
Never to find again.
I can imagine what's going to happen!
I hope we can avoid a scandal!
Those scandals are so tiresome.
I was divorced three times.
Yes, that's right, three times.
Zyuzin doesn't count.
I've never been as nervous as today.
Well, I'm going to do it!
Oh, Shurik!
Your apparatus is going to kill you!
My apparatus, Zinochka, will make me
famous. And you, too.
Really?
I'm sorry to bother you,
but I have terrible news for you.
My gloves have been stolen from me
today.
And I fell in love with another man.
Do you understand, Shurik?
- Yes, your gloves. What about them?
- Forget the gloves. I love another man.
Well, it's done!
Only, please, no objections,
and don't make scenes!
What?
Are you asking who is the man?
You probably think it's Molchanovsky?
No, you're wrong.
Zupperman?
Wrong again.
All right!
Let's not beat about the bushes.
He is... film director Yakin.
Well, well, well.
It's strange though. It happens
for the first time in my life.
The man is told that his wife is
leaving him, and he says, well, well.
At the very least, it's impolite.
You mean that tall, blond man?
Unbelievable! To show so little
interest in his own wife!
The blond one is Molchanovsky.
Can't you remember it? Molchanovsky.
And Yakin is...
Yakin is very talented!
What? You ask
where we're going to live?
Today we're leaving for Gagry
to look for the film's location.
And later, he will be given a flat.
Of course, if he's not lying.
Sure, he is lying!
Oh, all this is so ridiculous!
To insult a man because you're
jealous!
He
