nothing but talk when you should be helping us. How can we help? We're short of funds, we're short of men! You know as well as I do that in Moscow there're five single women for every forty-year-old bachelor. But we can't abandon those who need us! How lucky I found you! Someone put me in the old group, where all the women are grandmothers. Well, you're not exactly a spring chicken, either. I don't feel like hanging around old women. All right, I'll have you transferred to the younger group, from 35 to 50 years old. Couldn't you make it younger than that? There's only the group from 25 to 30, and you've got arthritis. You can't dance with them, so don't come complaining to me again. I give you my word, I won't. All right, I'll put you in the youngest group. Only don't say you haven't been warned. And you, please, drop in Thursday. You'll fill in our test forms, and then we'll send you an invitation. - Thank you. Good afternoon. - See you Thursday. How about that? Chief engineer in a factory and he comes to us. 99 percent are intellectuals. They suffer more than the others. But you should see the ladies. Gorgeous human beings! Well-bred, intelligent and pretty too! You wonder what do men want. It's a mystery. Of course, that's not a problem for you there, at the City Hall. Why do you say that? I'm single, too. Come on. Well, if even at the City Hall... Look, I might be able to help you. There's a man I set aside. He's a chief executive. And only fifty-three. Thank you very much. I can cope myself. Your rear suspension is squeaking. And I thought I was just imagining it. You ought to get it fixed soon before it gets worse. All right, I will. Where are we going? We're going to my place. No, I'm not going to your place! Don't get nervous. My wife and daughter are still on vacation. No, we shouldn't do that! I want you to see how I live. Please, say yes! There's nothing in the fridge, but I brought some apples from the south. We haven't seen one another for ages! The last time I saw you, it must of been the 20th of June. The eighteenth. I'm always afraid that I'll call my wife by your name. I guess it's because I think of you every minute. No, not here, I don't want to. I missed you so much! That must be my mother-in-law! - I'll go and look in the eye-hole. - No, don't move. - Does she have a key? - No. Calm down then. It's all my fault. I called her from the airport. Now she'll have something to tell my wife. You can say you were sleeping. I think she's gone. Apparently. I think I'd better be going too. You said you had the whole evening free. I have a lot of work to do for the office. I meant it when I said how much I missed you. You're upset because of what happened. You think I'm foolish. Come on, it could've happened to anyone. - Will you give me a call tonight? - Yes, of course. No, wait. Don't forget, call me tonight. Is something wrong? Yes, something's wrong. Oh, flowers? Where did you get them? A man gave them to me. When are you gonna get rid of that piece of junk? If you take care of a car it can last a hundred years. You've led a perfectly honest sort of life, and what d'ya got to show for it, just a couple of hairs on your head. Baldness is in style nowadays. - Is that in style too? - That happens when you're nervous. What a surprise! It's great to see you! How did you know we were here? I didn't find any of you home, so I figured you were in the country. I came to say goodbye. I've decided to go home. I've hung around Moscow for too long. I owe you money. I'll send it when I get my first paycheck. Are there a lot of people under you? Nearly three thousand. Organizing all that must be very hard work. It's hard getting the first three workers organized, then it's easy. - Is something wrong, mother? - I'm all right, go on talking. I'm always holding you up to the children ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Анализ крови на английском - текст Увлечения на английском - текст Слон и Моська на английском - текст На безымянной высоте на английском - текст Письма с Иводзимы на английском |
