can't be lying every minute!
During my many sleepless nights,
I've been thinking,
and I came to the conclusion
that we're no match for each other.
Can't you understand, Alexander, that
I live in the world of cinema, of art!
But your calmness
just amazes me!
You know, Shurik, I even feel like
making a scene.
- No, don't do it.
- You think so?
- I'm sure.
- A-ha.
Goodbye, Shurik.
But don't cancel my house registration.
Who knows what might happen.
Alexander Sergeyevich!
Please, tell Zinaida Mikhailovna
that Rozalia Frantsevna said
that Kapitolina Nikiforovna offered
Anna lvanovna a fur coat...
Zinaida Mikhailovna has left.
- Where for?
- With her lover.
What do you mean, with her lover?
And you're so calm about it?
- You're a very strange man.
- Excuse me, I'm very busy.
You are some character!
If I were your wife,
I would have left, too.
If you were my wife,
I would have hanged myself.
You jerk!
Is that the dental clinic?
Hallo?
Extension 3-62?
May I speak to Anton Shpak, please?
Anton, that's for you.
- Who's calling?
- A woman.
Keep your mouth open.
Speaking.
Anton Semyonovich? Hello.
At what time do you finish today?
I'm an actress. No, you don't know me,
but I'm dying to meet you.
So you work until four?
I'll call again, I'm very persistent.
I'm looking forward to it!
Well, let's continue.
A.S. Shpak
How lucky for me to drop by!
Folks, keep your money in a bank!
Naturally, if you have it!
What do you care about my relations
with my wife?
It's none of your business whether
we're divorcing or not.
That's our personal matter.
No, that's a public matter. Your
divorces lower our indices.
- What do You want from me?
- Wait until the end of the quarter.
Then you may divorce as much
as you like.
When you're talking, lvan
Vassilyevich, it looks like a raving.
What do you mean?
And about your suspicious machine.
I'm asking you to file an application.
Do it, or we'll file a complaint.
Wait. Wait! There's nothing
suspicious about my apparatus.
I simply invented
a time machine.
In other words, I can run through
space and go back to the past.
- Go back to the past?
- Yes, to the past.
These experiments, Alexander,
can be done only by permission
of the appropriate authorities.
Wait, lvan Vassilyevich.
This apparatus can be very useful.
Let me explain.
That's it!
And now we're going to test
the time machine.
You're witnessing
a historic event.
First, we'll try a close distance.
Look,
we're going to run through space.
- Did You see it?
- What?
- You see?
- What is it?
What happened?
Alexander Sergeyevich,
where is the wall?
What is it? What's going on?
There was a wall here!
Timofeyev, you will answer for it
in court. Inventing such a machine!
Go to hell
with your wall!
- Half a flat has vanished.
- No big deal.
What do you mean, no big deal?
I've seen some technical wonders,
but nothing like that.
- Excuse me, and who are you?
- Are you asking who I am?
- I'm a friend of Anton Shpak.
- And what are you doing in his flat?
What am I doing?
I'm waiting for my friend.
And how did you get into his flat
if he's not here?
Oh, go to hell!
What kind of questions are those?
Never mind. I've gone through time.
I've made it!
Tell me, can you lift
any wall like that?
A wall?!
Your invention is invaluable.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Why are you staring at me? There're
no pictures, nor flowers growing on me.
You're wearing the same imported
suede jacket as Shpak does.
Really?
Ajacket? A suede jacket?
Is Shpak the only one in Moscow
who has a suede jacket?
What is your name?
I'm an artiste of all big and small
academic theatres.
And my name is too famous
to pronounce it.
Do you want to get back to Shpak's
room? I can open the wall for you.
I'd better take a look at your
machine.
- I like it.
- I'm very glad!
You're my first witness.
It's my first time
being a witness.
Why are you staring? You're
