songs?
- I heard that you sing charmingly.
- Exaggeration.
By the way, Indians dip their arrows in curare.
And those two guys from Kiev,
the doctors who experimented...
Volodya!
Well, this is not the Yangtze,
with its rough currents.
I can't look at these things. It's awful.
He's a daredevil. And talented.
- It's folly.
- If he had more sense...
patience...
I can't look, he'll get pneumonia.
An athlete, an Atlantes.
Can't look.
- Bravo! - Next time,
make sure I'm not there.
Make him dress, he's got gooseflesh.
It's unfair of you to flaunt
the benefits of youth.
Never crossed my mind, Professor.
- He's got gooseflesh.
- Ice-swimmers brave lower temperatures.
- You mean Arctic animals?
- No, some people do it.
Don't worry, he should in fact be warm now.
- Who are we waiting for?
- Volodya, come and get it!
- Lucie, this is yours.
- People, take turns for the shashlyk.
- Who are we waiting for?
- Lucie, I hope you haven't forgotten
our friendship. - May I have some?
- Alik.
- Thank you. - I am on a diet.
- Speech!
- A long Georgian toast!
- Make it a short one.
I always drink the same toast.
All the best!
- Does it mean 'goodbye'?
- It means 'all the best'.
Here goes.
It's a dream.
There is a huge number of
various shashlyk recipes.
First, of course, the Georgian.
- Karsky shashlyk.
- Rib shashlyk. - Bulgarian, on a spit.
- The kebab.
- That's a different dish.
- Shashlyk de mouton.

- Have some more.
We forgot the most important variety.

- That's a brand!
Here's one with a kidney.
- What's this horseshoe doing here?
- It's mine.
- Where have you found it?
- You know, it brings good luck.
- I know.
- Almost new.
- Good luck was lying in the road.
- Anatoly Alekseyevich.
- Well, Daddy, show us.
That's not the way it's done.
- Everybody bends his luck in his own way.
- Right.
Good show!
You surprise me, old man.
Quite a performance.
Now it's bent.
- Yuri Vlasov.
- A phenomenon.
All the best.
It's excellent exercise, by the way.
A prolonged physical effort without breathing.
That's what isometric gymnastics is all about.
It's an element of Yoga.
- Let's play a game.
- Name it.

- Oh, I quite forgot there's more than one.
- Wolfe.
- Forsh.
- Shapovalov!
- Well, now...
- Mine is not that great a name.
- Who knows who among us is great.
Maybe Lucie is a great person, maybe me.
The contemporaries are clueless.
- We were promised songs.
- I have none today.
The guitar is busted.
- Sing without it.
I don't sing without it.
I need accompaniment.
Let's tell stories from life!
Suppose somebody begins...
- Another joins in.
- Excellent soulmate.
- Funny stories?
- Where does he find them?
- Stories of the unexpected?
- Toy store, mechanical section.

Already scared.

It's passe, humanity has re-embraced the
concept of marriage.
So what's the problem?
You are against it?
No, I'm all for it.
I seem to be unlucky that way, old man.
Here's another. A man was pursued
