dreaming till the war is over. Where are you going? To the hospital. I'm on duty. She wanders around like a ghost, all nerves. The poor thing is waiting for a letter. From whom? Her husband's not up at the front like ours. She's not waiting for any letter. - D'you have the 2nd shift at school? - Yes. Cranes like ships, Sailing up in the sky... I can't get those silly verses out of my head. There she is! - Who? - The mail carrier. If I can count up to 50, there'll be a letter for me. - One, two, three, four... - Stop it, Veronica. - Fifteen, sixteen... - Veronica, this is madness. - Nineteen, twenty... - Stop it! Forty-seven, forty-eight... - Good morning! - Good morning! Sorry, nothing for you. Here you are. - Lebedeva? - That's me. - Paliukaitis? - Nothing. From my eldest. From the Ukrainian Front. I didn't know Boris. But everyone says what a fine, talented boy he was. Was? Listed as missing in action doesn't mean he was killed. Of course not. I just didn't put it right. - What's wrong, Veronica? - I'm dying, Anna Mikhailovna. Come on, Veronica. You poor child. I've lost everything. You have your whole life before you. I don't want it! What's it good for? You must forget the past. It is human nature to forget. I don't want to forget. I don't need it. But you can't go on tormenting yourself for your mistakes. I should do it. All my life. You teach history. You're a wise woman. Tell me what's the meaning of life? The meaning of life? Maybe it's in... - Did Chernov get here yet? - Not yet. Wow, I'm really famished! Try to be nice to Chernov when he comes, please. He makes me ill. I feel exactly the same way, but after all he's my boss. That gives you a reason to lick his boots? Please, Veronica, this can't go on. You're always so irritable, always criticizing. Tell me, how can I make you happy? Just disappear. Come in, it's open. Come in! Mark, pardon my invasion. Not at all. It's a pleasure. Here, let me take that. Did you see the paper? The Germans have advanced in the Caucasus. Yes, it's awful. But we'll show them what we're made of yet! Please make yourself comfortable. It's warm here. Your place is nice and cozy. My wife and children are in Tashkent, so I'm kind of homeless. - Good day, Veronica. - Good day. - Where are you going, darling? - To the hospital. I'm on duty. Bundle up. It's very cold. I admire your wife. She's so honest... She must be very happy with you. - I was looking for you at the Philharmonic. - Was there a concert? No. But are you going to the birthday party tonight? I might. - What are you giving her? - What can I give her? The war! Yes, this war. It's nothing gorgeous, of course, but tie a little trifle to it and Antonina will be pleased. It's wonderful! What do I owe you? - It's really nothing, forget it. - Thank you very much. Mark, can you do me a favor? - Is someone up there? - No. Could you get some drugs for me from Feodor Ivanovich? Fine job, Irina. He'll pull through. I hope so. It would be downright mean of him not to. Irina, you should have been a man! I'm doing all right as a girl. Veronica! What are you doing here so early? The clock was fast. Poor girl... I can't forgive her for what she did to Boris. New patients again! I told them I have no more room. I'm running a hospital, not a barrel of herrings! - Are these from Kalach? - From Stalingrad. Some from the front line, others from the hospitals. No place for us here, either. Don't worry, they'll find room. I'll take 80 men. The rest will have to go to other hospitals. Let's see now... Please give my regards to Sergei, Feodor, Vassily, Aunt Maria, Agraphyona, Catherine, Barbara, Nikolai, Catherine... - You already said Catherine. - That's another one. - Don't you want to explain it? - They'll figure it out. So, Zinaida, Antonina, Kuzma... Nurse! - What do you want, Vorobyov? - ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Марс на английском - текст Святой Ральф на английском - текст Джек-попрыгун на английском - текст Тысячелетие на английском - текст Счастье на английском |
