Tofk, I'd like you to meet...
Dear Taya.
Tofk, I'd like you to meet
an old friend of mine.
just look at her, shameless.
- This is my friend Taya Solomin.
- Hello.
Very pleased to meet you.
This is Tofk Rustamov, my chief,
a renowned oilman from Baku.
Have you heard of him?
A hero of Socialist Labor.
Only he's hiding the medal because he's shy.
A master of sports,
an excellent family man.
Father of fve kids.
Three girls, two boys.
The oldest girl is 28.
The youngest, still a baby.
So here we are.
- Thank you, Alexei.
- My pleasure.
- Watch the goat!
- Leave me be!
- You should thank me!
- Dream on!
- So you made it here, Nephew.
- That's right, Uncle.
I've been looking forward
to our reunion.
Well, here Iam.
You look great.
Look at this hero of Elan.
Meet my uncle
Spiridon Solomin.
He killed my father, by the way.
Killed indeed.
And paid to the Soviet authorities in full.
Ifought in the penal battalion.
Ihave a medal.
- Iredeemed myself with blood, understand?
- Sure.
- And I've no regrets, understand?
- Sure.
What are you gonna do now?
Stab me
or shoot me?
- What are we gonna do?
- Alexei.
We won't do a thing.
We'll put up a derrick at the Devil's Mane
and drill till we fnd gas.
Then we'll demolish your Elan,
lay asphalt and build modern houses.
And we'll live with you in the same building,
with all the comforts.
The City of the Sun.
Got it?
I'm not gonna unload
those transformers.
- Let me smell your breath.
- Ted!
You have a granddaughter, pops?
- Will you put me up?
- You coming with us or not?
How are the lodgings here, pops?
Volodya, take the next hut.
This one doesn't have windows.
- Sasha, did someone bring my dumbbell?
- What?
- Did you bring my dumbbell?
- Who needs it? Ask Pete.
Are you nuts?
Hey, Pete, did you bring my dumbbell?
Get your dumbbell yourself!
Iwish you had killed me then.
Look at that.
What a beautiful thing.
How beautiful.
Look, will you? Oh, my.
Oh, get over it.
Man, oh, man!
I'll be right back, guys.
You monster!
They're having their mating season now.
You came,
cursed out the old man,
knocked down the gate.
Give me the gun.
So now you're going
for the swans, huh?
Give me the gun. Go on.
- Taya...
- Don't "Taya" me. Give me the gun.
Don't you know it's against the law
to shoot swans?
You out of your mind or what?
- Why, you're so quick.
- I'm quick.
Iwasn't looking for you.
You came of your own will.
- Why here? Ilive in a house.
- The house is for later.
- It's starting to rain!
- Here's a raincoat.
- I'll take it off myself.
- Well...
You'll take it off yourself?
- Yourself, you say?
- Don't scratch. Hey, you're scratching me.
Hold on. Wait.
Move over.
We're on an anthill.
Move your leg, will you?
That was your gun, dear Alexei.
That scared me.
What is it?
My dearest, my sweetheart Alexei.
Alexei, dear, sweet...
And you...
You didn't recognize me.
Forgot me completely.
Who could have known?
You were just a kid then.
And look at you now.
You don't look at all like a village girl.
Not by looks or by manners.
Ireturned here six months ago.
Before that Iworked
as a barmaid on a ship.
Deluxe rooms, restaurants,
velvet couches.
- You liked it?
- You bet.
So why didn't you stay?
Too much of a good thing.
Ihave to look after Spiridon.
He's mean, but Ifeel sorry for him.
His wife's gone, so he's all alone.
And how come you're not married?
- Wanna know?
- I'm listening.
Can't you...
guess for yourself?
Me? No clue.
Nope.
It's a long story.
Gee!
Oh, my! People are waiting for me
at the banquet.
Listen, we should
go back separately, okay?
People will start wagging their tongues
and Ihave my work team, after all.
Okay? Great.
Well, I'm off.
