matter?
What will we name them?
- Senya.
- And Venya.
- l'm Roman.
- Katya. Nice meeting you.
Only, please,
don't get sold.
- They'll sell them.
- No!
We're going to mark them.
Give them to me.
One cross.
Another cross.
Why have you been following me?
You're small. Someone may hurt you.
l'll give them back in kind.
When did l draw
your attention?
When we prayed
to the lamppost.
All were on their knees, just
kidding, but you did it for real.
Really?
l was kidding, too.
And then, what?
And then you were saying silly things
with a very clever air.
Discoursing on your dear bugs,
showing off your erudition.
- Even got as far as the Mongol yoke.
- l was just fooling.
Yes, trying to be clever.
That's why l decided
to call you a Mongol.
What?
Thank you.
Good afternoon. l'm sorry, it's my
first visit to you, and l'm late too.
But l don't belong to myself,
only to the breastfeeding schedule.
Yes, l know. You got Pavlik.
My sincere congratulations.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
Roman Lavochkin,
is he in your class by chance?
Yes, he is.
The world is small, indeed.
l used to know his father.
What kind of a boy is he?
He's a very decent boy.
Decency is their family trait.
Didn't Katya tell you anything?
They're friends.
- Friends?
- Yes.
How interesting.
And how funny.
How long is it going to hang here?
l'll put it on tomorrow.
We have a commission coming.
Didn't you get a chance yet
to wear it for its direct purpose?
Stop it, Vera. You've got
a science-fiction imagination.
By the way, if you're interested,
l had a crush as a young girl, too,
and a very big crush.
- He's a famous actor now.
- Some actor!
Playing impoverished peasants,
as skinny and ragged as himself.
And what about your Lyusia?
She's no Alain Delon either!
Leave her alone!
And me, together with her.
Oh, together?
All right, then.
Hi.
How was it at school?
Have you seen our Tanechka?
Did she say anything about me?
And about Katya?
Lyudmila Sergeyevna had a baby,
so Katya got a brother now.
She had a baby?
A second baby? At her age?
What do you mean, "at her age"?
- So Katya's her daughter?
- Right.
What's all this about Katya?
And l was wondering why
all l hear is "Katya, Katya".
Are there no better girls than
Katya at school?
Of course, there're not. Katya
is the best girl on earth.
l don't want to hear about it.
Go and take yourjacket off.
What was it all about?
You've heard it, haven't you?
Why ask, then?
Yes, l've heard.
And l have seen her.
All dressed up.
l wonder where the money comes from.
Whom are you discussing?
We know whom.
And you should forget about
those Katyas.
You have a graduation coming.
Like father like son.
What do you mean, "Katyas"?
There's one Katya.
The only one.
Do you recognize him?
l like those fashions!
This is the Kostya
who was jumping then, remember?
You know, he looks a bit like
his son, don't you think?
l hope this family is of no interest
and of no use to you, either.
You think so?
How did you like our Tanechka?
- l didn't like her.
- Why not?
l don't like former
actresses and old maids.
l hope she isn't spying on you?
Come on, mom, she's so moral.
l don't like the moral ones either.
Guys!
ln this weather?
- We came just for a second.
- What happened?
Nothing. Here.
Someone threw it out.
We went around. No one wants it.
- And we got a baby.
- And my father is allergic.
lt's so cute!
Will you take it in?
l don't even know what to do with it.
Will l be able to raise it?
Come on in, let's have tea.
Thank you, we're in a hurry.
We got to go.
Goodbye.
Now you're an old maid with a kitten.
Shall we go in?
Come on, let's get warm.
Don't worry, folks.
Wait a minute.
lt happens sometimes,
we've just finished repairs.
You know...
l suddenly fancied as though
there was a war.
And these are our last crumbs.
Then l'm not eating.
The crumbs are for the children.
You think l'm small and chicken?
Wait, don't
