- Have you seen Stalin?
- I have.
- What did he say?
- Ask me what I said to him.
What did you say to him?
I said: Some of our women...
don't want to be women any more.
They want to become men.
They are strange.
Stalin said: "If they want to -
let them".
It'll be a national sensation -
newspapers radio...
The triumph of Soviet science!
The great beginning!
Lt'll be fantastic Ambrosy!
Our Motherland needs soldiers -
and here they are!
Why don't you have a drink?
No thanks.
Let's drink.
It's difficult to change
a person's sex Alexei.
There is no precedent
forthis.
That's why Stalin is interested.
- It's not going to be easy.
- Yes I know.
This would be easier
if she were free.
I know how you feel:
You're here and your wife
is there.
She'll get everything she needs.
And afterthe operation
we'll relase her.
Do you believe me?
We are friends aren't we?

I can't talk. I want to sleep.
I'm so tired I can't leave.
Get some sleep. I'll take over.

An engineer?
He was a linguist. He studied
words.
Why "was"? Did he leave you?
No he was executed.
Oh it hurts. Please give

I wonder if it's habitable.
Why aren't you asleep?
It's late.
Relax relax!

Awouman should be discreet.
And a man must be agressive.
I'm neither here northere.
