Edward, Robert, Rudolph... The French delegation just called. They'll be here in half an hour. Thank you. Katerina? Have I changed all that much? No. It's just I'm surprised... So many years have passed... I never thought you'd become a director. I've only been a director for three months. Shall we begin? I'm really very busy. All right, sure. We're ready to go here. Go ahead, please. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen! The men in the audience are free to do whatever they want to. Our products are primarily of interest to women. When I think of what I might've missed, if I had decided to sleep over at Tonia's that night. Or if I had taken another train. I was thinking the same thing. How come you never did get married? I was waiting for you. But there was a man in your life? Once... But now it seems like it happened to someone else. Are there any snapshots of you as a kid? Yeah, a couple. You must've been funny looking. - You must show them to me later. - Okay. - I warn you, I snore. - So what? I'll whisper in your ear "shsh" and you'll be quiet. There's another thing. I can't stop tossing and turning. I'll take you in my arms to make you stop. Good idea, let's try. Oh, my God! I didn't see what time it was! Alexandra'll be home any minute! So early? Put the sheets in the closet! The pillows, too. - There're glasses in there. - Put them in the bottom drawer. Who was the idiot who invented this contraption? Why are you sitting in the dark? Cause we're watching television. Hello. So what? Would you please stop bothering me! No! I have no desire to meet you. She's not your daughter. Born at the end of July, yes. You've been counting. May I come in? All right. We can meet on Gogol Boulevard at 17:45. But not more than 15 minutes. I'm really very busy. - Hello. - How are you? You're alone, not with your mother? My mother died eight years ago. I'm sorry. Now what do you want? I want to see my daughter. What for? You've been getting along without her until now. Until now I didn't know she existed. You didn't want to know you mean? You were never so cruel before. And guess who taught me that? As for me, I feel as if a new life has started now that I know I have a daughter. A grown-up daughter to boot. You don't have to look after her staying up at night, to walk her to school... If I'm guilty of hurting you, I've been punished enough, so there's no need to do it. Yes, I've led a useless life all right. I've always pretended it was just a rehearsal, that real life still lay ahead. I've been married twice. My first wife ran out on me and I left the second one. And now here I am, alone with no kids, with no wife, not even anyone I can really call a friend. How many times I've imagined what it would be like meeting you. All the words I've so carefully prepared. Now you're here and I don't know what to say. For many years I didn't stop loving you. But then I became hateful and bitter. I wanted you to know about my success, to make you see how wrong you were. But now I think that it was all to the good. I wouldn't have become a success if you had stayed. I'm glad that you didn't marry me then, because in that case I wouldn't have met a wonderful man whom I love now. Believe me, everything will work out for the best. Life begins at 40. It may sound trite, but it's true. Goodbye, and please don't call me up anymore. I want to see my daughter! No, you won't go there! I'm going with you! - This is none of your business. - This is my business! I'm gonna lock the door! I'm going with you! - Where are you going? - Nowhere. You're right. It's getting late. You can go there tomorrow. Wait, I'm coming with you! Let go of me! - What's going on? - There's gonna be a fight. - What about? - About me. All right, let's have the story. I used to go out with Volodya Kopylov. Now I'm going with Nikita ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Друг на английском - текст Раба любви на английском - текст Хорнблауэр: Лягушатники и Раки на английском - текст Четыре на английском - текст Человек-Амфибия на английском |
