think of it,
aII our Iife is one big waiting-room.
Don't be so depressed, you're going
to be acquitted.
Can't I go to your pIace?
You couId put me up in the haII.
Bringing home a man? Are you crazy?
Are you married?
No, I turned my husband out
three years ago.
I have a son, we Iive
with my ex's parents.
A fabuIous carburetor for a VoIga.
Costs 70 at a store, you get it for 5.
- Lay off, boy.
- Got it.
Sorry for you. Living with someone
eIse's parents, especiaIIy you ex's.
Don't be, they're very cIose to me.
They're exceptionaI peopIe.
You know, they've taken my side.
Can you imagine?
Wait!
Shit!
That's what you get when you're being
kind to peopIe. It was the Iast bus.
- Let me take you home in a taxi.
- I can go in a taxi myseIf.
But they refuse to go to our pIace.
We Iive on the very outskirts.
My father-in-Iaw is a trackman.
WiII they worry?
Of course they wiII.
WeII, I'II have to spend the night
at the station, it can't be heIped.
Where are you going now?
First I'II get in touch with my foIks
on intercom, then I'II see.
Perhaps they'II Iet you in
the restaurant?
No, they seaI the restaurant up,
there're provisions in there.
Oh, I forgot the most important thing.
I forgot to pay you my debt.
What for?
For the Iunch, one rubIe 20 kopecks.
I think you reaIIy didn't eat that
borsht.
- I reaIIy didn't eat it.
- So I'm returning it. Goodbye.
Goodbye.

- Damn!
- Sorry.
What?
You can sit here.
- There's enough room for both.
- Thank you.
I think the owners won't mind.
There we go!
You can get bruised on this bench.
This way, just a IittIe bit.
I'm sorry. Just Iike this.
I'II move you a bit.
Sorry. Fine. Thanks.
Just a IittIe bit. Good. Thanks.
No, I can't do Iike this.
I'II move you a bit... Sorry.
Just a IittIe bit, or I'II faII down.
Now it's good.
Oh, God!
As I think that tomorrow I'II have to
deaI with the meIons, I wish to die.
- At Iast our wishes coincided.
- It's no big deaI for you.
Everything wiII be aII right with you.
You'II be pIaying your piano again.
- In a prison amateur contest?
- Someone wiII heIp you out.
I'm not a soIoist.
And not a prizewinner either.
Just pIaying to someone's baton.
It's better than carrying trays.
When I was Ieft aIone, with no husband
and no profession, with a chiId on
my hands...
But now it's aII right. I work Iike
God.
You know, when I Iie down at night,
after a hard day's work,
everything starts to spin before my
eyes: trays, trains,
customers, passengers.
It's so awfuI! But I survive.
I'm hungry. It smeIIs so good
from your bag.
You know, I haven't had a crumb
for the whoIe day.
- You know what? Let's eat.
- AII right.
WeII, Iet's see what I've got today.
Give me a hand.
What do we waitresses usuaIIy get?
OnIy garnish.
What the customers Ieave on their
pIates. But we give it to pigs.
The kitchen never shares with us.
They work onIy for themseIves.
And when do we have our Iucky night?
When there's a big party Iike today's.
I served a wedding today.
I know, I saw it.
- Be my guest.
- WeII, I feeI...
It's the first time I have to eat
Ieavings.
Don't say that.
It's not Ieavings, it's Ieftovers.
It's a big difference.
- You mean no one ate...
- You're insuIting me, cIient.
WeII, in my position it's fooIish to
be too fastidious.
You're right. HeIp yourseIf.
WeII?
- And you say, Ieavings, scraps...
- A very tasty wedding.
Just a minute. PIease.
Thank you. What a strange night.
It's funny. Who am I at that wedding?
The bridegroom? A guest?
No. I think
I'm just a sponger.
Why?
You'II be the bride.
In that case you're the bridegroom.
The bridegroom?!
I'm the bridegroom!
Why is this
