When Ruchnikov has a chance he fishes
the tally out of the man's pocket.
She gets a fur-coat in the cloakroom
and off she goes. That's it.
Any woman can get a fur-coat, even
if she is not that beautiful.
Oh no. A beautiful woman
catches your eye.
You want to do her a favour, right?
And he takes more pleasure in sharing
profits with a beautiful one, right?

He uses a woman as some picklock
or a forcer.
Pity!
A beautiful woman can make
a man happy for all his life.
- What?

l enjoy the show. He'll stay at his
place till the intermission, won't he?
Sharapov, do you think he hung around the
Englishman in the lobby all for nothing?
l'm sure he's got the tally.
Pickpen has got it.
lntercept her at the door. But first
let her put the fur-coat on!
Well, come on!
Wait a minute, citizen!

So you'll have to talk with me. And
no tricks! l don't want to force you.
- Who are you? What's going on?
- Comrades!
