Your package... - Ticket please? - It's a suit. How interesting. You've got it? Is it clean? I've just chosen the most stunning pair of shoes. I want you to see them. Do us a favor and wrap it up once more. I'm sorry, but there's a paper shortage in the country. Why is it that generals always have the same kind of wife? I would have made a perfect general's wife! For that you would have to marry a lieutenant first and for years move with him from one small town to another. In life, there's such a thing as luck, you know. That's why I buy a lottery ticket every week. You win yet? Sure I did. I won a ruble twice.It's the categorical imperative. It was Kant who thought of it. Mankind should work for the maximum... - That's Gourin. - Where? There must be a certificate that goes with it. How you doing? Want a drink? - Want some vodka instead? - Yeah, just a little. Excuse me, are you Gourin? Everything is okay. To solve these problems is yourjob. You're being paid for it. I don't want to hear that something can't be done. I'm interested in what you're doing so that it will be done! You were right to get tough with him. Does the chief engineer have any questions? The director? What were the reasons for missing last month's established quotas? We were short on tank trucks. - Why did that happen? - Because none were empty. - What measures have been taken? - We even called the minister. Sergey Stepanovich, you will personally look into this. We have to determine a schedule reducing future loading tie-ups. The meeting is adjourned. Could you tell everybody that this afternoon meeting is being cancelled. I'll have to be at the City Hall. At last the municipality is taking an interest in what we're doing. We're holding on on sheer enthusiasm. It's time the government thought about solving this problem. Do you know how many people are suffering from Ioneliness? Look at the numbers and you can see how alarming it is! In Moscow alone, it's alarming! Loneliness is the danger facing us. The birthrate goes down, alcoholism's up! From an economic point of view, a single worker is inefficient. He can't concentrate, he's obsessed by his Ioneliness. - I think it's open to discussion. - All right. Let's discuss it. The club was founded only three years ago. Is it a success? Have many lost souls found one another thanks to you? Yes, indeed! For this period we married twelve couples. Though marriage is not our priority. Don't think of us as a marriage broker. We're a friendship club. Today, Ionely souls don't know how to meet one another. People just watch television and don't even know who lives next door. Among those who got married, two were living in the very same apartment building. They wouldn't have met one another, it was only because of our club. And that's what you call urbanization! I came to enroll in the club. I'm sorry, but our enrollment for unmarried women is closed. We'll start recruiting women at the beginning of next year. But you're still accepting men? Yes, single men can join up. Why, isn't it unfair? We already have two single women for every single man. Couldn't you make an exception? Listen, call me at the beginning of next year. I see. Goodbye. Don't call us, we'll call you. You can see what's going on. You at the municipality do 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? ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Агония на английском - текст Иллюзия убийства 2 на английском - текст Звёздный путь 4: Путешествие домой на английском - текст Великое закрытие на английском - текст Вижу Землю! на английском |
