came up with a name for
him during the flight - Tarasik.
Remove the pig from the facility.
And take him where?
He's already got a name.
Tarasik.
We can't keep him fed.
Please, close the door.
Don't let the cold in.
- Hello, are you Ivan Yakovlevitch?
- What problems brought you?
Can you do something
to bring it back to life?
Chinensis Minima.
It's impossible. You should have
brought the whole bush in a pot.
That's what me and Zip,
I mean Lieutenant Nullin wanted,
but the old lady refused to sell it.
She just gave us one branch.
It's difficult to grow in open soil.
The rose is demanding,
yet generous.
It needs sun, warmth and bright
light almost the whole day.
And where can we get that?
Will there be a rose?
I'll try. I'm not omnipotent,
but it's got me interested.
Sergei Mikhailovitch,
in light of our pilot's delay
I've come up with an idea.
We need to schedule the arrival
of our pilots in such a way,
that they won't meet
the Americans.
This would give us more time
to prepare the fighters
and less problems with
undesirable contacts.
Do we want them
to start having affairs?
I'm serious about this.
You saw those young roosters
strutting for the Americans.
I don't mind, but you understand
that if something happens...
...there will be hell to pay.
I would write an order:
"Please arrange the schedule so,
our pilots time here will not
coincide with the Americans."
Go and write it.
Tuitko!
Tuitko!
Course - one hour fifteen.
Radio check every five minutes.
Visual contact
with closest links.
We're going home.
Why is the pig still
on the airdrome?
What can we do with him,
Comrade Commander?
I don't care.
Do whatever you want,
just get rid of the pig.
It's unsanitary to have
a pig in a mess unit.
But Tarasik's tiny and clean.
He likes it when we scrub him.
We need to present him to the
Americans. It's a rich country.
They can feed him.
Number 11 crashed
in our zone of responsibility.
Who prepared the plane?
Experienced mechanics.
I checked the plane myself.
They put inexperienced boys
behind the controls.
Remember last year,
how many planes we lost
that were the pilots' fault?
Why do you keep talking
about metal? A man died.
Nullin, Denis.
Born in 1925.
From the village of Hollow.
Education - seven years.
Completed his flight course
this spring. Young Party Member.
His biography is the least
of my interest.
Judging by the number of his
plane he was closing the ranks.
That means he was considered
to be a good pilot.
So they'll try to find a
technical reason for the crash.
The documentation.
It says the plane
was ready for flight.
You responded quickly.
The commander won't go hunting
today. A plane crashed.
He's got more important
things to do now.
Lieutenant Zip died.
He was a funny, cheerful guy.
He wanted to learn American.
What do you think,
could I become a pilot?
- No.
- Why not? I can speak American.
I'm healthy.
I shoot better than anyone
on the airdrome.
And you babble more than anyone.
And so the last point
on the agenda.
It's been submitted at
Commander Yurchenko's insistence.
What's to be done with the pig?
Foma Ilyitch, Tarasik is a hog.
He's not a pig.
You should have specifically
ordered what was to be brought.
They brought a piglet. Now we
don't know what to do with him.
We need to give him
to the Americans.
Let them feed and raise him.
Let them do whatever they want
Well, Sergei Mikhailovitch?
What do you think about
Tarasik's destiny?
Why make it a problem?
It's already too late.
I'm putting to a vote.
The question of presenting the
allies with a friendly token
a piglet, Tarasik the Hog.
In favor?
Opposed?
Abstentions?
Timur Fyodorovitch,
don't be upset.
Your piglet will have a better
life with the Americans.
Did they decide?
They're giving him away.
I now call this
Party Meeting adjourned.
Should I write "pig" or "hog"
Tarasik? Tactfully is better.
For example, "It was
