lives next door.
Among those who got married,
two were living
in the very same apartment
building.
They wouldn't have met one another,
it was only because of our club.
And that's what you call
urbanization!
I came to enroll in the club.
I'm sorry, but our enrollment for
unmarried women is closed.
We'll start recruiting women
at the beginning of next year.
But you're still accepting men?
Yes, single men can join up.
Why, isn't it unfair?
We already have two single women
for every single man.
Couldn't you make an exception?
Listen, call me at the beginning
of next year.
I see. Goodbye. Don't call us,
we'll call you.
You can see what's going on.
You at the municipality do nothing
but talk
when you should be helping us.
How can we help?
We're short of funds,
we're short of men!
You know as well as I do
that in Moscow
there're five single women
for every forty-year-old bachelor.
But we can't abandon those
who need us!
How lucky I found you!
Someone put me in the old group,
where all the women are grandmothers.
Well, you're not exactly
a spring chicken, either.
I don't feel like hanging
around old women.
All right, I'll have you
transferred to the younger group,
from 35 to 50 years old.
Couldn't you make it younger
than that?
There's only the group from 25
to 30, and you've got arthritis.
You can't dance with them, so don't
come complaining to me again.
I give you my word, I won't.
All right, I'll put you
in the youngest group.
Only don't say you haven't been
warned.
And you, please, drop in Thursday.
You'll fill in our test forms,
and then we'll send you an invitation.
- Thank you. Good afternoon.
- See you Thursday.
How about that? Chief engineer
in a factory and he comes to us.
99 percent are intellectuals.
They suffer more than the others.
But you should see the ladies.
Gorgeous human beings!
Well-bred, intelligent
and pretty too!
You wonder what do men want.
It's a mystery.
Of course, that's not a problem
for you there, at the City Hall.
Why do you say that?
I'm single, too.
Come on.
Well, if even at the City Hall...
Look, I might be able
to help you.
There's a man I set aside.
He's a chief executive.
And only fifty-three.
Thank you very much.
I can cope myself.
Your rear suspension is squeaking.
And I thought
I was just imagining it.
You ought to get it fixed soon
before it gets worse.
All right, I will.
Where are we going?
We're going to my place.
No, I'm not going to your place!
Don't get nervous. My wife and
daughter are still on vacation.
No, we shouldn't do that!
I want you to see how I live.
Please, say yes!
There's nothing in the fridge, but
I brought some apples from the south.
We haven't seen one another for ages!
The last time I saw you,
it must of been the 20th of June.
The eighteenth.
I'm always afraid that I'll call
my wife by your name.
I guess it's because I think of you
every minute.
No, not here, I don't want to.
I missed you so much!
That must be my mother-in-law!
- I'll go and look in the eye-hole.
- No, don't move.
- Does she have a key?
- No.
Calm down then.
It's all my fault.
I called her from the airport.
Now she'll have something
to tell my wife.
You can say you were sleeping.
I think she's gone.
Apparently.
I think I'd better be going too.
You said you had the whole
evening free.
I have a lot of work to do
for the office.
I meant it when I said
how much I missed you.
You're upset because of what
happened.
You think I'm foolish.
Come on, it could've happened
to anyone.
- Will you give me a call tonight?
- Yes, of course.
No, wait.
Don't forget, call me tonight.
Is something wrong?
Yes, something's wrong.
Oh, flowers? Where did you get 'em?
A man gave them to me.
When are you gonna get rid
of that piece ofjunk?
If you take care of a car
it can last a hundred years.
You've led a perfectly honest
sort of life,
and what d'ya got to show for it,
just a couple
