you.
We're in great shape, scrimping
on tobacco like this, eh?
Don't argue,
light up.
Go ahead.
Give it to me.
l'll have a couple of drags.
Smoke, Vanya.
Enjoy it.
Man, what a view
l have here!
''Join the army and see the world!''
Petya, let me give you a hand.
lt's unbecoming for the commander-
to be to dig holes in the ground.
Please help me, Vanya,
help me.
From here, we can really nail
the bastards.
We'll mow 'em down!
You will see.
l'll blast them to bits!
You sound very brave now.
And yesterday, when the tanks were
coming, you turned as pale as death.
ls that true, Petya?
l always get pale
when things get dangerous.
Sasha, give me a cartridge,
give me a cartridge!
As if l don't know what to do.
He was as nervous as a lady.
Hey, lvan the terrible!
You're just scratching
the surface, like an old man.
ln digging, like in making love,
one's got to go as deep as he can.
You've got to get
below the surface!
But you're all surface, Vanya.
That's why your wife doesn't write,
she has nothing to remember you by.
Oh, Vanya, Vanya,
you fucking jerk...
My goodness, Petya,
what a dirty mouth you've got.
You shouldn't swear so much.
Your ears pricked up like a hound
dog. You smell something?
Listen, Sasha, stay here
and garrison the fort.
l'm gonna take a peek around
in that barnyard there.
- What for?
- A reconnaissance mission.
ln case the sergeant or anybody else
asks for me, tell them l had cramps.
Tell them l couldn't wait,
l've been having the runs.
l may even have caught dysentery.
Glasha!
Hey, girls, look at the handsome
soldier come to visit.
Glasha!
Drat it, girl, l'm still waiting
for you to bring the mare around!
Don't worry, Luka Mikhailych,
you'll get across the Don in time.
Hi there!
- l'm Pyotr Lopakhin!
- Hello and welcome.
What is this place,
a collective farm's stable?
No, it's our dairy farm.
We're getting ready to retreat...
If they fight here, they'll
blow up everything in sight.
Yeah, looks like your farm is gonna
be the center of the action.
But we'll do our best
to hold the line.
God help you!
Say, can you spare any fresh milk,
or maybe a little butter?
You should ask our farm's manager.
She's over there,
the freckled one.
- What's yourjob around here?
- l'm a stable-man.
l've been working here 3 years now.
l do all the odd jobs. They even
promised me a bonus this year.
l hear you're a boss here, Glasha.
The prettiest boss l ever saw.
Like cream to a man that's starving.
And with my appetite,
l could eat you
right up!
l give you my word!
Chew you to pieces and swallow you.
l wouldn't even need mustard.
- l'll do l guess...
- Now, now, don't be modest.
You're a pretty thing, Glasha,
too bad you're not mine.
Tell me what made you
so big and gorgeous?
ls it all the fresh milk you drink?
Stop that!
Grab that pail and come on.
You'll get butter later.
l can come get the butter later? When?
You better watch out.
Or you'll get this.
Oh, that scares me!
So we'll fight?
Come here!
What do you want?
l'm going to yell!
Glasha!
What's keeping you so long? Your
skirt got caught in the ice box?
Get up here now!
And go bring me
that mare right away!
Are you going across the Don
or you staying?
l'm interested just in case.
We're leaving right now, soldier.
Maybe you'll go along too?
No, our paths go different ways
for the time being.
But if we're to meet again,
where can l find you, Glasha?
l don't see why you'd want
to come and find me.
But, if you really wanted
to see me very badly,
look in the forest across the Don.
We won't go far away from the farm.
l gotcha!
Well, l'll go, Sasha, huh?
- Don't. The sergeant will be mad.
- l wouldn't go.
But l'm doomed to.
Oh, Glasha...
l could stay with her the rest
of my life under a cow's belly,
just squeezing the udders.
The cow's or hers?
lt doesn't matter.
Be seeing you.
lt'd be a sin not to accept
butter.
- We must not leave it to
