reaction.
She lectures me,
I resist.
Has your aunt been living alone all
the while? She never got married?
That poor man hasn't come up yet.
Anyway, it's nice
meeting you, Slava.
Slava.
Quiet.
If you ever again hurt that
woman in my presence,
"I'll have you skinned alive and
let you go to Africa naked".
- You got it?
- Got it.
- What's the date we have today?
- The fifth.
So, in the days
I'm going to live in your house,
I intend to see to it that
this woman be absolutely happy.
You got it?
Got it.
Go and wash up now.
Evening Two
The tablecloth must preserve
creases after ironing.
They stir up
the remembrances of childhood.
Sounds lofty.
One should live wisely,
Slavik, without any fuss.
The book of life has too many
superfluous details.
But there's one little secret here:
we can leave out those pages.
That's it, comrade Ilyin.
I don't feel like
reading this very page.
Slava dear, don't make me angry,
go on working.
And you will do this
operation every Saturday.
Now stand up.
- Stand up.
- Why?
I don't feel comfortable
hitting you while you sit.
As you wish.
Lower your chin to your chest,
left arm stretched forward,
right arm protects your chin.
Taking a fighting stance,
you're invulnerable.
The most effective hit is
on the end of the chin.
There's no preparing
for a blow in boxing.
The fist moves along
a straight line,
for a straight line is the shortest
distance between two points.
Got it.
Hit.
- Unexpectedly, short and sharp blow.
- Once again.
Wait.
A short, unexpected blow,
with your fingers down, sharply.
I'll do it.
Come closer, don't be afraid.
And there he goes flying.
What are you doing, you vermin!
We're training!
I got my nail broken.
What did you come to
the telephone office for?
I was just passing by.
I thought you came on business.
Don't come just for nothing again.
- Why don't you stay for a while?
- What the hell for?
- Are you in a hurry?
- My babies are crying at home.
We're in a spot here.
Give us a hand.
What's it all about?
A celebration.
Called birthday.
Whose birthday? His?
No, his aunt's.
How old did she turn?
Well, it's an abstract
birthday.
I see.
There's a woman in our house
who got married at 38.
To a 70-year-old man.
At 38, Slava,
one can marry anything.
All right, let's get down to business.
There're two of you now.
Wipe the shelf and the chest.
Do it.
Who ever dusts with a dry cloth?
Is that supermarket number 17?
Can you get me Zoya from groceries?
It's you? I didn't recognize your
voice. Hello. It's Sasha.
Zoya, you see, something came up...
No, I can't.
Yes.
Hello.
I was speaking to a neighbor.
No, tomorrow neither.
And later, too.
All right, I'll be back soon.
- Yes?
- May we?
- Please. Good evening.
- Good evening.
We thought
you were watching.
Please, come on in.
Thank you very much.
Just a second.
- Wort we be in the way?
- No, not at all.
There goes a girl
on spike heels.
They cost 300 rubles!
If only they cost 150,
I would've bought them for sure.
Slava, let's go to "Uranus" for 8:30?
I know an usherette there.
Once I had two guys let in without
tickets. So I sit between them.
One says, "You came with me,
so turn to me."
Then the other began complaining.
If I happen to be the third,
you'll twist your neck turning.
Go clean up the other room.
Where are you going?
Thank you. We wanted to see "Swan
Lake", but it's only tomorrow.
Please stay.
Aunt Toma will be here any minute.
No, we'll be in the way.
Tomochka, we're sorry for
coming not at the right time today.
Why?
We didn't know you have company,
a celebration.
Congratulations, anyway.
We'll go to the Fedoseyevs'.
What celebration? What company?
What's going on here?
Who allowed you to lay
a clean tablecloth?
Why did you take thatjar?
We have to return it to the store.
Can you explain what it's all about?
Those were your tenant's orders.
He's supposed to be thankful
for being let in
