head.
You're so beautiful, mom.
You'll never grow old.
We'll see.
l am a reckless girl.
lt's not such a big deal
to have a child.
A second child.
l'm so glad you're not the beanpole
type like everybody is today.
You're a girl for all times.
Birds get into flocks again.
You're my little birdie.
There're exactly 273 days left
until the end of the school year.
lsn't it too many?
A new girl.
l don't think
she's got in the right class.
Yes, she's wrong.
The new one,
why are you so small?
People are good for nothing now,
just too small.
Though pretty.
He doesn't like it
on our wall, folks.
That's how the classics are.
They wouldn't accept leveling.
Do you mind?
lt turns out
we're aesthetically underdeveloped.
"Westside Story", they tell us,
is the real thing!
Attention, people! Here're some
pearls for you. Only for the educated.
- Well?
- He won't understand anyway.
"The nervous fabric of form!"
How is that?
"Plastic suffering!"
"Symbolism's swinging blows!"
Yes, the modern art
of love is real bullshit.
Right.
What if it stays for
at least another five years...
Don't worry, it won't.
We lump everything together:
love, five-year plan, tree felling.
ln this case, even racism.
Only sex is unadulterated.
Right, baby?
Enough about sex, we're sick of it.
Where're you going, Roma?
Are you betraying me?
Bite! Search for your owner.
What are you doing?
Good morning.
Oh, it looks beautiful here today.
Sit down.
Alyona, those braids are very becoming.
Katya Shevchenko.
Sit down, please.
We already got acquainted,
Tatyana Nikolayevna.
All right, everybody looks beautiful
and well.
So we can begin our lesson.
Couldn't l see you somewhere before?
- Have you ever lived in Ostankino?
- l don't even know where it is.
Oh, it's where the Sheremetyev Palace
and the Ostankino Tower are.
Really, l couldn't have dreamed you,
could l?
l got an idea! After classes,
a field trip to a department store!
Roma, are you coming?
And you?
On the 2nd floor, to the left,
there're departments of
women's and men's apparel.
ln the center of the hall
you will find
the cosmetics
and haberdashery departments.
Gotcha!
Everything's just fine.
You know,
the tailor is quite young,
but l think he's all right.
- Was it mother who sent you?
- No, l was just passing by.
- Please, don't imagine things.
- l'm not imagining anything.
lt's just a new suit.
Sure thing.
Some day we'll run into each other,
and l'll tell her: "Hi..."
- Yes?
- Accept my condolences.
Oh God, why?
What do you mean, why?
The beginning of a new school year.
What are your plans for the evening?
l was just thinking about it.
Well... why don't you come?
l don't sense any enthusiasm.
Whether l come or not.
Miss, are you wooden?
Cold as charity.
Had a good conversation?
l'm a swine.
Don't lose heart. Even if you are,
you're a very attractive one.
l'll take you at your word.
lf l'm attractive, why not have
lunch with me, a lonely man?
With pleasure.
Just let me take my smock off.
Stop kidding!
Where're you going?
Wait! Wait!
Catch her!
Tatyana Nikolayevna,
why is he pestering me?
You're just like little kids.
lsn't it good here, guys?
So beautiful.
Grass, grass, a green field of grass.
To hell with you, l'll go walk alone.
We didn't dig the theatre.
Nor the green leaves.
What ever can amuse you, kids?
Guys!
- There he is!
- Who?
The iron one!
Hurray for the mighty piece of iron!
Let's all to a man send all iron beds
to recycling! We swear!
Hurray for open-hearth and blast
furnaces!
- Hurray for progress!
- Hurray for stainless steel!
Hurray!
Say thank you to our cast-iron friend!
Turn swords to plows!
We swear!
Some plowboys!
lt has a life of its own.
What is it like?
l get crazy when l think about it.
What about you?
No, not me.
Those tiny bugs
don't fit into my head.
Too bad.
Sorry.
Starting from today,
l'll love them like family.
Alyona, what's the
