I'll go to work every day, and he'll think I'm still a student. That goes on for a year, then I'll get pregnant and become a housewife. And even if he does find out, it'll be too late. He will have gotten used to me, and he'll adore his kid. He'll probably even beg me to forgive him. Why would he do that? Well, I'll find a reason when I have to. So you'll do it? We'd never get away with it. Oh, Katia, do it for me, please. No, I don't like it. Then I'll tell them that you're my maid. What a bore you are. Take a chance for once in your life. I don't even look like a professor's daughter. All we have to do for it to work is avoid making two mistakes. One is lousy grammar, and the other is asking dumb questions. What if they ask me a question and I give a dumb answer? Do it, but like you mean it. That's called "point of view". - Take me, I'm pretty vulgar, right? - You said it, I didn't. Well, guys call it eccentric. So will you do it? No! I just don't believe you can act like something you're not. Pleased to meet you. - Katia. - Anton. And what's your last name? You can call me just Anton. The last name is for my office. Please, come right in. Put these in some water. Gentlemen, I think you can make your own introductions. Kruglov, industrial executive. Seryozha. Perov. I'm a scientist. Edward Ozeryansky, research engineer. Kruglov, industrial executive. The one with the badge is a scientist. - What science? - Just science. - Oh, you shouldn't have... - That's my contribution. - It wasn't necessary. - Go ahead, let's have a look. Oh, pardon me! Could you take all this in the other room? I'm sorry, I was delayed at the studio. I understand. Meet my little sister. It's a pleasure. - Katia. - Rudolph. I don't agree. Poetry is definitely on the rise. There are interesting young poets. Yevtushenko, for example. Who? You don't know him? He shows a lot of promise. Although in my opinion, Robert is more daring. Rozhdestvensky. You've heard of him, haven't you? He's fabulously talented. A young rebel. There're too many rebels now. They criticize the older generation. They want to know why we kept silent for so long. I wonder what they would have done in our place. We would have spoken up. Seryozha, you haven't touched your wine. - I'm not allowed. - Poor health? No. The coach won't allow me to. Cause I'm in training. You are Gourin, aren't you? Yes, Gourin. I thought you looked familiar. I used to broadcast the games you played. We should be honored to be at the same table as Gourin. Don't be so modest. I read what the Swedish press wrote about you. - You play for Moscow now? - That's right. I think we should all drink a toast to the great hockey player Gourin. Just one glass toasting yourself. No. Thank you for your kind words, but really I'm in training, and I don't like the stuff anyway. - Have you been long at the TV? - Two years now. - It must be very interesting! - Yes, very. Someday television will change our lives. We'll never go to the movies, and theatre and literature will die. We'll only be interested in television. Don't you think you're getting carried away? Theatre, I agree, isn't going to last long, but really, movies, books... Just wait twenty years and you'll see. Well, in twenty years everything will be completely changed. It isn't all that much, twenty years. In twenty years I'll be old. Believe me, at forty you'll think that your life just begins. At forty? You're joking! If God really created us all, he should be generous and give us at least a thimbleful of hope. Where did you graduate from? We don't have any special school for television yet. Seryozha, you're like a bear. Well, what do you think of Sweden? We just looked out a bus window. We're still at the beginning of TV, but it already represents the future. - Have you been to a studio? - No, I've never been ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст В созвездии быка на английском - текст Жидкое небо на английском - текст Вечера на хуторе близ Диканьки на английском - текст Ночь страха на английском - текст Как я съел собаку на английском |
