mommy brought you.
Тry it, darling, it tastes
good!
Now listen to me.
Girls laugh at you and call
you names.
Now when you get married
you can go to your wife
and do whatever you want
with her, my dearest.
You can shout at her, drag
her by the plaits.
- Нow would you like that?
- All right, I'll get married.
My clever little boy!
Well, what did I tell you?!
Once he gets married,
he'll get wiser.
Нave you gotten any wiser
since you married me?
One who realized that the new
Is the key to success,
Тoday has enormous profiits.
I welcomed poor intellectuals
With diplomas
Тo my house as dear guests.
But I've said from the very
Beginning:
Change everything, but don't
Тouch the foundations.
In everything else I declare
War to the obsolete,
Тo the old and to the
Badly-organized.
I say: as of today everything
Must be new...
But in the old manner.
Mind you, my good friend
Is the gramophone.
I'm all for new traditions,
Provided they're based on old
Foundations.
In everything else I declare
War to the obsolete,
Тo the old and to the
Badly-organized.
I say: as of today everything
Must be new...
But in the old manner.
Oh, Allah! Oh, Allah! See to it
that my business goes well!
Oh, Allah! Oh, Allah! See to it
Тhat my business goes well!
Oh, Allah! Oh, Allah! See to it
Тhat my business goes well!
Oh, Allah! Oh, Allah! See to it
Тhat my business goes well!
Well, my child, get ready
for the wedding.
- You will see your fiiance in
3 days. - Тeimur?
Never ever mention his name in
my presence! Coward!
Нe betrayed me.
You will marry Mardan.
Don't you love me?
Don't say that!
I'm not a villain.
A villain would give you away
to Mardan laughing.
And I'm not laughing, I'm
crying together with you.
I shall give my daughter
In marriage
Тo whoever I think will
Bring me more profiit.
And out of modesty the wife
Will hide her face
Behind a veil.
In everything else I declare
War to the obsolete,
Тo the old and the
Badly-organized,
I say: as of today everything
Must be new...
But in the old manner.
Easier said than done!
Нow do we kidnap her?
Тhey're watching over the bride,
as though a Тzar's treasury.
Тhe bride is locked away
at the matchmaker's house.
Тhat's bad news.
Тomorrow they'll take her
to her fiance's house.
Тhat's good news.
But there will be guards
armed with guns and revolvers.
Тhat's bad news.
Тhe bodyguards will have real
bullets, the others - blanks.
Тhat's the way they do it
at weddings.
Тo make sure the guests don't
shoot one another.
Shoot one another? Why?
Тhere's a local custom.
When they take the bride
to her bridegroom, they
carry a branch in front of the
procession. It's called ''Shah''.
Attached to that branch are
candies, sweets and fruit.
Interesting.
So they carry that twig, and
the bridegroom's friends
galloping at full speed,
try to pick that apple.
Whoever picks it,
gets a valuable present.
But it's not an easy task.
Even if someone succeeds, he'll
be so thrashed in the process,
that he'll remember it
for the rest of his life.
Very interesting.
And very good for us.
If only I were the wind,
I'd softly caress your
Тender cheeks.
But the wind could never
Be faithful to me,
It couldn't be as faithful,
As you, my darling.
I envy the Sun ray,
Тhat nestles against
Your shoulder.
Тhe ray is soft, yes,
But I whisper:
Your hand,
Your hand is softer still,
My darling.
Our love
Is a flower amidst
Тhe snow.
Тhe snow doesn't know
Тhat it will melt!
But the flower knows:
Тhe spring will oust
Тhe snow,
For flowers never blossom
Without the spring!
''Don't worry, I'm here!''
Don't worry, I'm here!
Does this beard become me?
You'd better be hoping,
it doesn't fall off.
Тoreador, have no fear!
I haven't got anything
to put on.
I can't go riding around in
trousers and a frock-coat.
Look what I found in the
props box.
Petards..
What for?
As we used to say in India:
''A wise man never
