need quiet night and day!
I have a house of plenty,
Marusya!
I've got everything — citations,
costly presents... Wait, Marusya.
Here, Marusya. A watercolor!
Inna, phone for you! It's Prague!
Inna, come to the phone! It's Prague!
- Inna Nikolayevna, it's from abroad!
- Coming! Coming!
Inna, hurry up! It's Prague!
Hello? Hello?
Prague? Prague!
Hello, Joseph!
Good afternoon!
See, Marusya?
So much work has accumulated.
I have no time to work.
I'm sick all the time.
You know I've been
on a sick leave for 2 weeks now.
How about you? You don't get sick?
Of course you don't, you're
in the fresh air all day there.
And I get sick all the time.
I can't even go out to buy bread.
I have to ask my neighbor to do it.
Varelik!
Wait, Varelik!
- How are you, Varelik!
- Ah, Konovalov!
Hello, Izoldochka!
Nothing personal, but you look
like Fantomas in these clothes.
Have already treated your hangover?
Varelik, it's embarrassing,
I'm with a woman.
I owe you a ruble!
Wait!
Wait, Varelik!
Marusya, give me a ruble, quick!
Wait! Marusya, come on, give me
a ruble or Varelik will be gone!
Thank you, Marusya!
Varelik!
Keep it.
- Thank you for your kindness!
- You're welcome.
Thank you very much!
Wait, my beauty, wait, please don't
go yet!
Marusya, my dear, you're my million!
Wait a minute!
Wait, my beauty, wait, please don't
go yet,
Let my eyes enjoy this so wondrous
fete!
Konovalov, stop yelling!
I got a call from abroad!
I pity you, Volodya.
I really do.
Oh, my God...
No need to pity me, Marusya.
You'd better, Marusya...
pity your chief engineer
of a fishing factory.
Do you get me?
I guess you eat only fish
all week in your family?
And we, Marusya, have got gas
in our apartment.
- What nonsense are you talking?
- Oh, God!
The wife of a fish engineer!
Isn't it great!
That's not what matters,
my dear Marusya!
I used to be a chief
and a senior, too.
And now I'm just a regular bookkeeper
at a local municipal office.
And I'm happy because I'm not
dependent on anyone anymore!
I can pull my hat over my ears if I
wish, or take it off to someone,
to someone who pulls strings.
You get it, Marusya?
In 3 years,
I shall retire
and come to your village on a bike.
You won't even recognize me.
Why haven't you come earlier?
I couldn't come earlier, Marusya.
With whom would I have left
my sick mother then?
So many years have passed
since we buried her.
You know, Marusya, she did... love you.
I loved Aunt Dasha, too.
And I loved you, Vovchik.
You know, Marusya...
A wife can find
another man, Marusya.
But a mother will never find
another son.
- Please don't cry.
- I can't help it, Marusya.
You don't know what you've got
till you lose it.
There's no point in crying now.
Why don't you come to the village?
It's your village, you could rest there.
What village, Marusya?
Think what you're talking about!
I have to do my work.
I must go to the Ministry,
and you say, to the village!
Village!
Here's my village,
here's my home!
Wait a minute, Marusya,
I'll be right back.
Varelik!
Varelik!
Moscow time is 13 hours 7 minutes.
Careful!
Only not this one. Not him!
Where are you going?
Come back!
- Just wait, I'll catch you anyway!
- You don't want to get a haircut?
- Does Lyuba Konovalova live here?
- Yes, here.
- Where?
- Her room is over there. Why?
- Where's she?
- She's not home.
Come here.
- What's your name?
- Kirill.
- Having a party?
- About to.
- And who are you?
- A horse in the Zoo.
- We're waiting for you!
- Close the door.
Come on, close it!
Just look at you, all shaggy,
Kirill Vladimirovich.
Have a seat.
What a cheeky lot!
When did you last see your father?
That's what it's all about...
And who are you?
A relation.
What are you doing to the man?
Just look how you live.
And what about him?
He's sick all through,
he drinks some poison.
After all he's your father
and her husband.
How can earth carry such people,
with
