charming, in fact.
That's true!
A lot of people say so!
You know, you're perceptive.
I even like you a little!
Praskovya!
Ivan Sidorovich proposed to me!
- You don't say!
- Today.
- And you?
- I said yes!
- Will there be a wedding?
- Of course!
- When?
- In the autumn.
- Why not sooner?
Well, we need to be sure of our feelings.
It's for life, after all!
Oh, Valechka, my dear!
Congratulations!
Thank you.
A souvenir for you.
- How does he get along with Boris?
- Marvellous!
- Does he love him?
- And how!
Tell me, Valentina!
Such a respectable man!
- Of course!
- And not bad at all!
- Have you kissed each other?
- Oh no!
Why not?
Because...I shouldn't.
I'm weak.
I faint.
That's strange.
It isn't strange.
You're right, anyway.
- That's not the main thing.
- Of course.
Valechka, darling!
Can you look after my precious?
Bring him in.
Where on earth is he?
Borya! Bor!
Boris!
What have you done now?
Come on. Don't test my patience.
You know my limits!
Well, come on!
Come on, come on!
He takes after his father.
Sit there, in the corner!
And stop giggling!
Like this!
Praskovya!
Have a look!
Mini.
Oh, Valya.
It's lovely.
Very handy. But short!
Yes, but also impressive.
- Really?
- Of course.
Okay, I'm off.
Go, take care of yourself.
Come here, please!
My God! What's that?
Jam.
Jam? Look at me!
Hide the jar.
He's well-fed as it is.
- Praskovya, I'm hungry.
- What?
- I'm hungry.
- Go wash your hands then.
Sit in. That's it.
No, one doesn't begin with jam.
Yes.
Coming.
Eat up. Don't move.
Listen, Praskovya!
Come here, I have something to tell you.
May I bring a girl to your
place...to study physics?
What?
Physics. To study.
To get into the institute.
- No. Impossible.
- Just an hour or so.
Impossible.
Well, thank you.
We'll see you in a minute.
Don't you see, we're getting ready?
Turn around.
Borya, I tell you!
Praskovya, have you read 'The Novice'?
I have.
Turn around Borya.
And Lord Byron?
I have.
- Have you read everything?
- No.
I've read everything.
Have you?
Come on.
Borya, get out of here!
Listen, Borya!
I told you!
Come on.
- Borya, please.
- Excuse me, please.
So what do you think?
I have good taste, don't I?
Yes, but you lack a conscience.
- Toma! Tamara!
- I'll tell your mother everything!
I begged you to leave!
- Why are you laughing, you little pest?!
- Pest yourself!
- What's new at the Physical Institute?
- Not much.
- I'm a zootechnician.
- Interesting.
- And you?
- I'm weaver at the factory.
- Aren't you surprised?
- By what?
By the suddenness!
- Of what?
- Of our encounter.
- I'm not surprised.
- Why not?
- You've been following me for two hours!
- Really?    - Really!
- But it wasn't me.
- Who was it, then?
I don't know!
- I know.
- Who?
You!
Do you like the theater?
I do, so what?
I like it very much too.
- Hi!
- Hello!
- I'm performing at the club. In a show.
- Who are you playing?
Baba-Yaga the witch.
Pash!
Hello!
- Where have you been these last three days?
- I've been working.
- And in the evening?
- At home.
- Have you been working too?
- No, resting. Why?
I've been waiting to dance with you.
I live here.
Up on the second floor.
- With your mother?
- No, with my wife.
So you're married?
I am.
And you have children?
A daughter.
Do you love your wife?
I do.
Ha!
Well, I'm going then.
See you.
See you.
Funny girl.
Do you dance?
I do.
Do you mind?
What it is, Arkady?
Nothing!
Domestic problems.
Things happen.
Let's dance to the
next number too!
Well.
I don't mind.
Good bye.
Impossible.
Why?
It's banal.
Nonsense.
Come in, come in.
It's cold out there!
Arkady!
You're endangering my reputation.
- What am I doing wrong?
- Nothing.
- Hello, Mr. Sasha!
- Excuse me.
You surprise me.
Well, won't you come in?
- I will.
- So come in.
Here's the newspaper...
... which you may read.
Do you want some coffee?
- It will wake you up.
- I
