And besides, esteemed lady,
you've mixed them up.
It's Walter Weber we're talking about,
not Bruno Weber.
Fyodor!
You want a cigar?
I see you're in a better mood.
Did you make up with her?
Yes. We decided to not invite him
to our place any more.
Just think: Masha's name
gossiped about by the whole stadium.
It should be brought to a stop.
What about the party?
Didn't you invite him?
Big deal.
It can be canceled.
Uncle!
Hello, Kolya.
Uncle, I need a tailcoat.
You'll get it back, Kolya, won't you?
I'll be held responsible.
Kolya, I'm committing a crime here.
Uncle, I need a tailcoat.
I'm committing a crime here.
It's a tailcoat from "La Traviata."
I'm committing a crime,
I do.
You hear, Kolya?
It's a tailcoat from "La Traviata."
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
I'm here, Grisha.
How do you do,
Grigori Ivanovich.
Why are you looking in the mirror
all the time, Katya?
Because I'm ugly.
It's okay, Katya.
Beauty is a dialectical concept.
It only occurs between two people.
When a person is alone,
by himself, it's impossible to say...
whether he's pretty or ugly.
When another person appears
and tells to that first person...
"I love you"...
...the first person immediately
becomes beautiful. Do you understand?
Really?
- Of course.
I've had a person come to me
and say
"I love you."
That means you're beautiful now.
Am I?
Mom, am I pretty?
Of course you are.
No one told me "I love you"
yet.
You're beautiful anyway.
He's compiled the third set
of "Ready for Labor and Defense" requirements.
Who did?
Grisha Fokin.
What kind of requirements?
Moral ones.
What does it mean?
A set of moral values.
Which moral values a Young
Communist League member
shoud cultivate.
For example?
A clear goal is number one.
No double-mindedness
or ambiguity.
Persistence, to overcome
weekness and hesitation.
Strength of character.
That's right!
Go on.
Humanity - not just to love,
to hate, too.
Modesty - to avoid
rudeness and bad manners.
What else... Sincerity -
telling the truth.
Magnanimity.
Meaning what?
Don't you understand?
Not gloating over a friend's mistakes.
Generosity, to uproot
the feeling of property.
And sentimentality.
Oh, sentimentality?
To a certain point. To love
waltzes along with the marches.
Go on, go on!
Severity towards selfishness.
- That's right!
Well, and... chastity.
Chastity? Really?
Don't you understand?
These are bourgeois qualities.
- No, these are human qualities.
What does it mean - human?
Don't you understand?
The bourgeoisie has distorted these concepts
because there was the power of money.
Without the power of money, like now,
all these feelings...
regain their pristine nature.
Don't you understand?
Are you angry?
Are you by any chance jealous?
Who's that? Is that her?
Please, let's go back.
No, it's awkward now.
They all saw.
Which moral qualities,
according to that theory of yours...
are you currently developing?
Shyness?
I think it's cowardice.
- You came to see Grisha Fokin?
- Yes.
He knows you're here.
He saw you. But he's hiding.
Hiding?
Yes. He's afraid to look at you
because he loves you.
How odd!
Like in a dream.
A naked person comes up
and says that someone loves my wife.
Why are you here, Grisha?
You should come up to her.
Don't you understand?
What did he say?
What did you say? Masha?
I said that you're in love
with that citizen.
Masha, I think this is
a stupid conversation.
I'm right. According to his theory,
a YCL member must speak the truth.
So I did.
Grisha!
Grisha! Grisha!
He doesn't hear.
Don't you understand?
I don't know, mom.
Should I go or not?
You said yourself that a YCL member
must be resolute.
Yes, but they left the stadium
without saying a word to me.
All desires must be fulfilled.
Then a person can be truly happy.
Don't you understand?
If desires are not fulfilled,
a person becomes unhappy.
You can't suppress desires.
