have to look around first.
Luba, easy on me.
You did not give me a minute's break.
Work and work.
We used to say, work is not a hare - it won't escape.
Let's wait.
Why did you lie to me?
I wrote to your director.
And he answered me.
That's what's the matter!
Go then, Luba, speed along,
pour bravely!
You wrote such nice letters...
I remember them by heart.
I may have buried my talent.
"Prisons destroyed my talent and youth..."
What's the rush now?
Wait, let's talk.
To hell with that director.
Cool how I made myself look like a goody, huh?
An accountant.
Accounting of the
goods for the general public.
What did you expect, Egor, by lying to me?
Wanted to rob me, or something?
That's too much.
To go to the other end of the world to steal
two pairs of felt boots.
You're insulting me, Luba!
Then what did you want?
I don't know. A little rest for the soul.
I want a holiday. How long should I wait for it?
Ah, Egor!
What?
You are really tired.
Like a horse going up the mountan.
Only there's no foam in the mouth yet.
You'll drop dead.
Do you really have no relatives?
Luba, don't hit below the waist, please!
I'm not a beggar yet.
In any case, I can always rob a liquor store.
Sometimes, I am incredibly rich, Luba.
Too bad you did not meet me back then.
You'd see that I have nothing but contempt for
this stinky money.
Nothing but contempt, but it makes you go
through such torments.
Not because of the money.
Then why?
I can by nobody else on this earth, expect a thief.
Oh, look how scary you are.
Only no one is afraid.
Drink up and let's go.
Where?
To my place. Didn't you come to me?
Or you have another penpal elsewhere?
Even though we established that
I am not an accountant?
That's clear.
But just so you know, madam,
I am a driver of the first category.
Well, not first, but second.
Do you have a license?
No, my license is in Magadan.
See now? You can sew slippers and you're a driver.
You'll be priceless here.
Let's go.
Typical peasant psychology. Head on.
I went to jail seven times, you fool!
I am an incorrigible thief!
Quiet, quiet. Are you drunk?
Then what's the matter?
Let's go to my place. Have a week's rest.
I have nothing to steal. Catch some breath.
Then you can go and rob your stores.
Or people would say - she did not welcome him
and sent him away.
Why did I invite you then?
Everything is okay. They're coming!
In a red shirt, like an executioner!
Why are you standing around?
What to do?
Let's go.
Why are we running away?
What happened? Who's coming?
Now we'll start a new life, according to the protocol.
He'll make us line up.
What a stubborn girl, so headstrong!
What could I do?
Don't show that you're afraid.
Like we have not seen the robbers before!
Look at him, like some Stepan Razin,
the steppe invader.
But we have to greet him properly.
We will.
Let's do everything like we should.
Then we'll see.
Maybe we'll even have to die because
of our own daughter.
God, what are you talking about?
Ah, Luba, Luba. Thank you, dear daughter.
Come!
Good afternoon.
Here is our accountant.
Sit down, Georgiy.
Come, sit down!
Thank you. May I sit next to you?
There you go.
He's not a robber at all.
He got into the jail by...
Egor, what's the word?
By accident.
By mistake.
And how many years does one get 'by accident'
these days?
Five years.
Not too long. Before there was more.
What kind of accident was that, sonny?
His boss was embezzling, and he had to cover up.
Well, are you all satisfied?
Now it's time to feed him, the guest had a long trip.
I'll go check the sauna, Egor.
Although, stay.
Mom, you need to feed him.
May I smoke here?
You may.
Would you like a cigarette?
I don't smoke.
Are you orthodox Christians?
I'm not a believer, I just don't smoke.
I don't want to.
Don't want or can't? It is not the same.
One guy said: 'Ah, they're killing me!'
They ask him: 'Who's killing you?'
He says: 'My boots are killing me'
