Who's there?
Who's there?
- We were in a different place.
- We were. Now we're here.
l don't remember a thing.
There won't be a moon tonight.
lf you watch the moon
for a long time, you go insane.
That's what they said in Middle
Asia, when l was in the army there.
l don't remember a thing.
l don't understand a thing.
There was a shed.
Kuzmich, yesterday
you had a shed. Where is it?
l have a lot of buildings.
- There definitely was a shed.
- Nice weather.
- Maybe l dreamt it.
- Agreeable weather.
- Didn't l drink a lot yesterday?
- Blacker than a king's hat.
Sometimes l'm sure l've got
a 100 ruble note in my pocket.
- lt's time to go fishing.
- May l go with you?
l've never really been fishing.
You can come. You must start
from elementary things:
First you angle with worms,
then - with spoon-bait, and then -
the other forms of fishing.
Dynamite, for example.
We don't use it, though.
We only fish sportingly.
Maybe you've got some
mermaids here and naiads?
l've got loads of things that
go beyond ordinary sense.
There are lot of women wandering
about. This place is great.
- Should l dig up worms here?
- Dig, there're plenty here.
Prosecutor, just dig deeper.
- There are no worms here.
- Dig, there're plenty here.
What's the Prosecutor
doing in the field there?
l wanted to plant Soya-beans here.
Or was it Gaolyang...
Kuzmich! l've found one!
Lyova, straight ahead,
there're plenty of fish there.
l haven't thrown any bait out there.
- What should l fish with?
- There's a sinker there.
- This one?
- That's right.
And how do you use it?
You put the worm on the hook,
then you cast it.
lf it starts jerking, you pull it out.
Hook on the worm,
and then overboard. OK.
Where's my worm?
What've you got there?
- ls that all?
- l dug up half a field.
Give it a swing. That's it.
- You cast it. Here, take it.
- Thank you.
- Pull it out and try once again.
- lt's got stuck on something.
Pull harder, it's a strong line.
Who is this?
l mean, what's its name?
- lt's a bream.
- ls it a big one?
lt's not small.
A big bream!
We'll catch an even bigger one!
- Should l put another worm on?
- Yes, and the sinker into the water.
We're going to catch
a massive fish now.
Lucky.
What are you looking at? Cut it!
Get the first aid kit.
How did you manage it?
This is my first time fishing.
Well, you won't forget it in a hurry.
- We've got nothing, not even vodka.
- We should get him to a hospital.
You should put your finger into
the water, to stop the worm from dying.
Otherwise the poison
will get into the wood.
Do something!
Watch you step.
Hey! We need some help.
- Bon appetite.
- Thank you. What's wrong?
- When did you get it stuck?
-Today, out fishing.
Show me.
We put it into water,
so that it wouldn't die.
Do you understand?
Here you are.
An anesthetic.
Give me the instrument.
Yes. lt's gone right through.
But the end sticks out.
lt's a piece of luck for you.
We won't touch the worm.
We'll just cut it away.
Never mind,
all my stuff is sterilized.
That's it.
You can have this as a keepsake.
- Thank you.
- Thank yous don't pour.
My sister's husband
got hooked right here.
We thought he would
never be a man again.
But he is lucky: he's still got
his wife and his mistress.
Put your finger in some vodka.
The worm might have been ill.
So, to the operation!
What, l have to drink this?
Well, if you're not squeamish.
When you brought that worm
on the finger, l nearly went sick.
Meat dumplings are a traditional
Russian meal, they came to us
from Siberia and in translation
they mean "boiled ear".
lf we'd caught some fish,
we wouldn't be doing this.
Meat dumplings
are the essence of life.
This food is rather simple,
but it is very healthy for man.
The main thing is the proportion,
especially of dough.
You can eat up to a hundred
without any consequences
for your health.
l caught this big fish.
Lyova, what is it called?
- A
