Yes.
Right.
Everybody's going far nowadays.
But why?
Who knows?
I lost a nail.
Could you help me find it?
You have nothing to do, anyway.
Come in.
The stove and chimney
will never burn down.
Here's a straight nail.
No, it won't do.
Where's your ma? Alive?
A nazi shot my old woman, too.
Where can it be?
I saw it a minute ago.
He was a tall fellow...
He wore glasses.
And had long hair.
- What's your name?
- Ivan.
Pelageya will be back soon...
That's my wife's name.
I'll have the house all ready for her.
Ivan!
Why'd you run away, Vanya?
You think I have nothing better to do
than chasing after you?
I didn't ask you to.
Don't talk back at me. Look at him,
he wants to join the partisans!
Get into the car!
You won't run away again.
Yes, I will.
I said get into the car!
I'll run away
from that military school,
just like I did from the children's
home.
"I ran away from Granny,
And from Granddad, too..."
O Lord,
will this ever end?
Vanya, can't you understand, silly,
that war is for grown men?
You promised you won't issue
that order!
Lyakhov and Moroz were killed because
they were big. I can get through.
Besides, I'm all alone.
You know I have no family left.
That's enough, Vanya.
It's been decided.
Nothing is decided!
You're not my dad to decide.
Shut up!
Or I'll spank you.
I'll run away anyway,
if you don't let me go.
I'm my own boss.
Indeed!
You're my pain in the neck.
D'you know that there's lice
in Company 5?
The linen isn't disinfected properly.
Do something about it.
Yes, Comrade Senior Lieutenant!
The situation is out of control.
Yes, sir.
There'll be no time for that
when the offensive begins.
Yes, Comrade Senior Lieutenant!
Thank you, Comrade Senior Lieutenant.
- A letter from home?
- Yes.
- Everything all right?
- Yes.
Greetings!
I've been looking for you.
Carry on. I'll wait here.
You're a commander. You must be
strict with your subordinates.
But you try to do everything yourself.
There's a lull now, and we have time.
When the offensive starts,
there'll be the wounded.
I don't know what to do about you.
Since you're a commander,
get the medical service in order.
You've got two days. Then report back
to me.
Yes, Comrade Senior Lieutenant.
Don't worry.
Everything'll be... in order.
What's your name, Lieutenant?
- Masha.
- That's a pretty name.
My name's Leonid.
Lennie for short.
Have you ever had a boyfriend
called Lennie?
- No.
- So I'm the first?
Are you from the Ukraine?
- Why?
- You're beautiful and stubborn.
No, I come from near Moscow.
Peredelkino. Twenty minutes by train.
In Siberia, where I come from,
300 km is considered "near".
Surikov, the painter, used to live in
our town. Ever heard of him?
And in our town, writers used to live.
We once saw Alexei Tolstoy.
And Korney Chukovsky.
He's very tall, with a white head.
They were walking in the woods.
- Were you ever wounded?
- Yes, I was.
Why are we so formal?
Let's be on first name basis.
- I find it hard to so quickly.
- And I don't.
I'll start now, and you start
gradually, okay?
- What is it?
- A cobweb!
So what? Aren't you a brave soldier!
Some brave commander!
I'm only afraid of spiders.
Nothing else?
Vassiliev!
Have you seen Captain Kholin?
He went that way with the doctor's
assistant.
Walk the trunk! You said
you're not afraid of anything.
Well, I will.
That's enough.
Jump! I'll catch you.
Got scared?
Then why don't you?
No special reason.
So you were frightened?
All right, I forgive you.
I don't need your forgiveness.
You don't?
- Let me help you.
- I'll manage.
She'll manage!
Come here, Masha.
What for?
Come on, Masha, come here.
What for?
Come here, quick!
Hurry!
Now go away...
Go away, Masha.
You hear me, Masha? Go!
Go away quick, Masha...
Let's go and have a look
at your troops.
There they are, Lyakhov and Moroz.
Go have a smoke.
- Good morning!
- Hello, Katasonych.
Galtsev, give me the
