star media presents based on tatiana moskvina’sthe crime of the sun solstice dad! are we going? starring aleksandr kobzar alesa kacher i shouldn’t have gone with you.why are you taking me there? i have negotiated it masterly, kostia.

i said, my cousin who liveswith us needs some polishing. irina leonidovna said itwas ok. so don’t sweat it. it’s really awkward. a tutorgoing to his pupil’s grandma and taking all his familywith him, plus the cousin. right. ok, everybody, hop in. written by yelena karavayeshnikova her children went togermany for 3 years. so they had to hire atutor for her grandson.

a male tutor! that’s unusual. no, it’s a right thing to do. a boy needs a smartand strong man around. irina always knows whatshe wants, and gets it. remember pushkin’s verse? monsieur… what-s-his-name,the mediocre, reluctant to exhaust the boy,treated his lessons as a ploy. our mikhail is far from mediocre! he’s smart, calm, andstrong. also, good-looking.

isn’t this too much for one man? you never brought me flowers like these. are you saying i never gave you flowers? not like these! it’d never occur to meto give you a chandelier wrapped in cellophane. dad, what’s a chandelier? sure, anything will do for me! besides, we don’t have roomfor such bouquets at home.

what’s wrong? we are going home. right, misha! let’s go home. dad, i want to meetmatvey! you promised me. misha, what did i say? lena, either you shake offyour mood or we’re going back. i’m not listening to your nagging. misha, come on. i didn’t mean it. masha, you promised to sing for us.

you have to stick to your word. some people are lucky. i’m just saying! is it somebody singingor is it the radio? misha, what’s wrong? one, two, three, lightenup, christmas tree! wake up! freeze! you’ve intrudeda classified facility. get out of the car, nice and slow. hands up!

don’t do anything stupid. ok, got you. dasha, this is matvey. we have a pond with ducks inthe backyard. wanna see it? sure. let’s go! dasha, no! you’ll fall down. let her be. irina leonidovna, hello.

hi. meet my lena. this is for you. thanks. they are beautiful. this is kostia, my cousin.i told you about him. nice to meet you. we heard somebody singing. it’s masha. come inside, i’ll introduce you.

albert and i are goingto italy again this year. and we’re going to berlin. thanks. after that – it dependson matvey’s parents. masha is a genius, a unique talent. she has a 5 octave range.she can sing anywhere. in a bar, in royal opera, onpop stage, even at the beach. the beach is definitely better. who can appreciate agood voice these days?

two and a half men. that’s funny. most tutors are women. you could find job at acollege or high school. this pays better. we have to pay the rent.lena is out of job so far. i spend days with matvey and work evening shiftsas a guard at a cafe. so i only have spare time at nights.i’m working on a sort of a novel. a love story?

there is love in it,too. it might be good. do you perform somewhere?i’d like to come. i’m singing at the free opera. we are performing carmen theday after tomorrow. do come. – i’ll book a seat for you.– free opera? it’s a half-amateurtheater in the south-west. how many seats? one, please. somewhere closeto the stage, if possible. what’s it you’re talking about?

mikhail is writing a novel. really? they are normal people. no snobbishness. and this singer – she’slike a fairytale character. which fairy tale? the firebird. stop swooning! ok, she islucky to have this gift. but it’s bad for your personal life. all female singers are unhappy.

i read a book about mariacallas. it’s a nightmare. never let yourself stand out,and you’ll live 100 years. these talents arenothing but troublemakers. i can see what you’re thinking about. why don’t you tell me what it is? there’s only one thought inyour head, and it’s auburn! wow! what are you doing with this tutor? i wanted to make you nervous.

i know you will dump me sooner or later. but it won’t be easy!i’ll fight for you! i’m a small but mean beast.i’ll eat the tutor alive. his wife is probablynagging him on the way home. first thing tomorrow she’llgo to the beauty parlor, to fight for her mikhail. she’ll win. in the end of the day, yes. but she’ll end up with a cripple.

you’re my beast! i’ll drive us into the oncoming lane! mikhail? what do you want, my dragon? tell me… what if one fallsin love with a woman like her? what if i do? she needssomething special, doesn’t she? she needs money. lots ofmoney. and she’ll find it soon. she’s not like that. she is, too.

you bastard! you’vefallen for her yourself. how do you know what she needs? i know. i see people in kerzhachstill dream about fair ladies. they do. it’s an unhealthy dream. supposeyou demonstrate strong will and become an oligarch, a soccer player,and an artist all at the same time. you win your beloved and find outthat she’s an easy girl. wouldn’t you be traumatized?

anyway, while dreamingabout my fair lady, i would work and strive to my goal. i would go forward, i wouldbelieve, i would be in love! is it better to spend alllife with someone like lena? i’d be bored to death. let’s make a deal, cuz. this was the last timewe discussed lena’s faults and virtues. good night. – mikhail. polina, hi.– hi.

mikhail, do me a favor,cover my shift tomorrow. i really need it. – tomorrow?– yes. i can’t. i swear it’s an emergency.be a good friend! pasha, i have anemergency tomorrow, too. you? i can’t believe it. i’llhave to talk to sania, then. is your emergency pretty? go to hell.

misha, are you going on a date? you should take a breakfrom family once in a while. how long are you going topretend to be a perfect husband? i’m not pretending. i am who i am. and it’s not a date. i’m going to the opera. carmen. it’s wrinkled, as always. i can’t button it. lev davydovich, we are performingwithout the second violin.

i remember. igor, you haven’t fixed the curtain yet. misha, if you screw up withthe batten again, i’ll kill you. yes, lev davydovich. – hello.– hi. girls, may i? no! we haven’t finished yesterday, masha. you’re wrong. you needanger! it’s a primeval world.

everything happens forthe first time here. "they are whole-hearted people; "people made of wood, of stone, of fire! carmen hates weakness. she hates everything petty,pathetic, wishy-washy! i don’t know. carmen is anice girl. she loves everybody. anyway, you don’t burdenyour prima with concepts. "i’m a simple person; alli want is sing in tune." do me a favor, give memore anger! just a shade! ok, you’ll get your shade.

thank you, milady. i appreciate it. act warning. please go to the stage. thank you! thanks! take your time in this place. they will start as soonas you’re ready. you win! let’s argue tomorrow at 11. masha? that’s a spirit. you promised,and you came. my respect. can i take you to dinner?

are you driving? yes. let’s go, then. where are we going? there’s this place i likeon leningradskoe highway. thank you. bye. do you live in the neighborhood? no, across the city. good. the farther fromthe family, the better.

speaking about families:i almost forgot. hi, darling. i’ll stop by at this placeand be home in a couple hours. or in the morning, ifyou don’t stop nagging me. or never. bye. that was brief and clear.was it your husband? that yura, who was with you at irina’s? yes. he’s not my husband, though. sort of a husband? he handles my affairs.

sort of an agent, then. i need peace. peace andfreedom. i can’t love anybody. me neither. what’s this about? isthis the tutors’ ways? making moves on a tired andhungry singer! shame on you. i’m very sorry. let’s go. no guts, no glory. one more glass. waiter. i can’t drink beer at all. itmakes me gain weight at once.

they say singer’s voice needs nutrition. you should sing in atheater. a real one. you think when you have a good voice, everybody drops totheir knees immediately? i’ve been to tons of auditions.one needs connections. you? with your power? i don’t have power. i have a gift. you? you can smash aperson without noticing. you like to think that i’mstrong to get it off conscience.

no. are you a loyal husband? what are you doing here, then? ok, i’m not loyal to mywife. it’s wrong. so what? misha, you know this isn’twhat we’re talking about. we both know it. anyway, i’m tired. i have togo home. let’s call it a night. check, please. thanks for the beautiful evening.we shouldn’t do it again.

misha, don’t. which is yours? i’llwalk you to the door. please don’t. yura likesto look out the window to know who i came with and where from. is that so? good luck, then. why did you turn off your cell? how many times do i have totell you it’s not about jealousy! i have to protect you, do youunderstand? are you hungry? i had dinner with an admirer.

we actors have our little perks. put these roses in a separate vase. who is this admirer? a young man? not too young. does he have money? i don’t know. where did he take you? what do you care? i’m going to bed.

you forget that i’vejust performed carmen. "leave me alone; i’m on my last legs." can i at least kiss you before bed? goodnight, baby. yura, what if… what, masha? is anything wrong? no. i was just thinking. what if we have dinnertomorrow at some nice place?

sure. no problem. good. find something interesting. ok, i’m going to bed. misha, i’m sorry. i fellasleep and didn’t hear you come. how long have you been home? not long. where is kostia? he went home to collectsome papers. he found a job. where? i don’t know. he wasvery secretive about it.

don’t you see anything? you’ve had your hair cut. and dyed. nice. you look so fresh. you like it? yes, a lot. misha, why have webecome so down-to-earth? why don’t we do something fun? you silly girl with dyed hair.

let’s have dinner tomorrow. we could take dasha with us.i’m with matvey till 4 pm. after that i’m all yours. misha, do you love me? i do. hi. dasha. mom, can i have some beer? why? why you can and i cannot? have a sip.

are you crazy? let her see for herselfthat it’s not that tasty. why would you bring me here?it’s an ordinary pub. hi! is this the singer wesaw at irina leonidovna’s? dasha, please sit down. daddy said i could. and i say you can’t. i’ll be right back. it was gertsel, saying he’s sorry.we had a fight at the rehearsal.

have you made up your mind? yes. i’ll have pork chops.i’ll be right back. what the hell are you doing here? can i see you tomorrow? yes. after 8 pm. this was crude. no imagination at all. you need audience. his wife is here, and hisdaughter, too. you don’t care! i told you she’d dye her hair.

guinea pig. i’ve been waiting for you for an hour.what happened to your cell? why were you waiting for me? i’m stalking you. you want to get me cheap. are you a high-maintenance girl? i am. i don’t take money, though. what do you take? life.

you can have it. it’s all yours. you have a long life line. but you’re not goingto give me anything. never mind. let’s go to my aunt forthree days! i want sun. i want to go to the crimea. what? are you chicken? i’m thinking. we need to organize it. besides, there’s money question.

i forget you’re a poor tutor. if you keep humiliating me,we’ll have to finish this. that’s cheeky! wehaven’t started anything. we’re caught in thisalready. it was inevitable. you sleep so quiet, like a bird. i kick, turn from side to side and speak languages in mysleep. i’m a restless partner. kick all you want. i need some sleep.

i’ll say you’re myhusband. my aunt is ok. ok, husband it is. but youhave to listen to me, then. don’t i? aunt galia, we’re here. masha! what was that cable about? “i’m coming”! when are you coming,what flight? nothing! galia, dear! let me look at you. you’vebecome even prettier, you bitch.

who is this? my husband, misha. nice to meet you. galina. mikhail. you could have written me abouthim. let’s go to your room. i’ve cleaned it up.come inside. don’t be shy. well? my sweet old room. i can see it withmy eyes closed when i’m in moscow. what stops you from coming?

ok, get settled. lunch inan hour. have some rest. why are you looking at me? your eyes are so… you’re glowing. my home is the sun! eat, my dear girl. i can imagine what theysell in moscowâ supermarkets. frozen trash! eat. when will we see you on tv? forget it, aleksey ivanovich.it’s not that easy to get on tv.

god knows what they showus. those girls in underwear. no voice, no looks. does your mother call you? sometimes. did she at least come to your wedding? there was no weddingparty, aunt ksiusha. we married at the judge’s office. so you haven’t seen yourmother-in-law yet. too bad. one should pay to look at this woman.

inga, my mother, gotmarried and moved to israel. do you like my wine? it’s great. i could drink a whole pail. i wouldn’t recommend it. it’s tricky. the trick happens whenyou drink your third liter. it comes to your head,and you’re as good as dead. masha, will you sing for us?we remember you when you were this big. you’d always singthat song about mother. how does it go? the sun comes up…

your mom will smile.i’ll sing you another one. my boyfriend walked me to my house,holding my hand all the way. because of his goddamn lovemy hand hurts like hell. see? now we’ve had somethinglike a wedding party. it was one-sided.â no guestsfrom the groom’s side. i’ve told yura. he will clear the apartmentby the time we come back. misha, you shouldn’t thinkthat… we’re grown-up people. what are you babbling about?

you’re free. you don’t owe me anything. free? what do you mean? we come back to moscowand go our separate ways. why would you turn out auseful person, then? poor yura. it’s my business.i stay away from yours. masha, i don’t knowanything. what shall we do? nothing. let’s get up, look at the sun and melt in it. it didn’t work. we didn’t melt down.

we’re too solid. well, misha, have youvisited your mother-in-law? have you fought? no. why? you look gloomy. – how did you find me?– you told me yourself. – i forget.– no wonder. looks like you suffer fromshort-term memory loss. masha, i didn’t have a chance…i had to have my car fixed.

then my cousin kostia cameback. i sent you a text. you didn’t even call! you’retoo much of a coward for this. why call if there’sno chance to see you? i was going to sort itall out and come to you. why call? how about findingout if i’m still alive? besides, where were yougoing to come see me? your place. you said you’d dumped yura. why would i ruin my life like this? – oh, that’s how we stand.– yes, that’s how we stand.

excuse me, then. i’m working. don’t you ever do this again, or i don’t know what willhappen to me. i’ll die! do you understand? why don’t you answer the door? i was asleep. come on, masha.â i don’tneed these tricks of yours. i’m doing all i can and even more. it was so beautiful. italways is, in the beginning.

and then it turns into trash. that’s what will happen with us. it’s 3am, i have to beup at 8. why did you come? i was worried about you. i thought you were alone, crying. i wasn’t crying. baby, don’t be mad at me. we’ve started on a high note. we have to be a littlesimpler, more down-to-earth.

i don’t need you in mylife. i need a reliable man, one who will take care of me every day. i need to pay my rent, buygood clothes, make my career. as for the bed… you wake upand you forget everything. masha, you think i need youin my life? i have everything. a full set. so let’s break up. well said, masha. i love dasha. she’s too young.

we don’t have money for anapartment. lena doesn’t work. how would i leave her? i understand. just remember that whatwe have is very serious. it’s dead serious. i know it. what does kostia say? did he find job? he says he did. there’s anopening in the neighbor school. they need a junior schooland daycare teacher. i’d like to take it.

what do you say? we should think about it. misha. are we ok? we’re fine. masha, you’re awful today.you have a premiere tomorrow. are you sure you can sing? there will be experts fromthe golden mask there. i’m sorry, lev davydovich.of course i can sing tomorrow.

masha, can i have a minute?sveta, 5 minutes break. what’s wrong with you? is it a man? is that serious? too bad. is he married? an actor? a musician? that’s even worse. masha, you’re not an ordinary person. you don’t need anything ordinary. this is your realm.

all that is not for you. it’s sorrow, humiliation, broken heart. every time you stuckyour beautiful face in it, somebody will giveit a blow. it’s a law. only those who can’t livethere are given talent. do you believe me? masha? don’t worry, lev davydovich. i’ll sing. ok, we can start now. ready for takeoff! you’re so cheerful today.

i’m always cheerful when it’s sunny. well, kostia, take goodcare of the apartment. you never said whenyou were coming back. i will come back, i promise. masha, i’m so hungry. i’vebeen driving for 6 hours. you’ve obviously cheered up after sending yourfamily to the country. don’t start it. i’ll have some free time in two weeks.

let’s go to the crimea.yes or no? tell me. honestly, masha, i don’t have money. but i’ll think of something. i’ll have to go to dad’s.he always has some savings. why don’t you come with me? he’ll like you, i knowit. he lives on a farm. there are bunnies! why not. i wonder what you’regoing to tell him about me. i’ll say that i loveyou. he’ll understand.

he used to be a ladies’ man,too. even when mom was alive. so infidelity runs in the family. my dad was an orthodoxcommunist. when we, so to say, lost our way, he decided toseparate himself from the state. you can die without mein the world ruled by cash. “you’ve betrayed yourfathers and forefathers”. at least he seems an honest man. so, how about our plans?i could go tomorrow. you? i’m singing carmen tomorrow.after that, i’ll have a 5-days break.

by the way, your cousin has beenfrequenting our theater lately. he stares at me and brings me flowers. kostia? he never told me. see how you affect vladimir boys? kostia, people saw you at the opera.you’ve become a fixture there. how do you know? are you seeing her? i’ll let this subject drop.it’s you i’m worried about. you used to be light and cheerful,

and now you’re dark andsad. tell me about your job. it’s a sort of a security company.the guys are only starting. what’s the name of thecompany? do they have a license? what are you doing for them? there’s nothing to tell yet. where does she live? haveyou been to her place? kostia, your passionis doomed, believe me. misha, we’ve got aproblem. mom is coming. whose mom?

my mom, from israel. i don’tknow what she’s thinking. she’s coming tomorrow. i have to meet her. ihaven’t seen her for 2 years. then we’ll meet her. i’ll come get you. is that her? no, bro, that’s not her. sheis inaccessible for mortals. just don’t mind her. momlikes to shock people. just bear with her. mom!

baby! your prodigal mom isback. i’ll call you back! shalom, russia. masha, oh god. why are you so skinny? mom. my god, who’s this?is this your husband? are you crazy, marryingsuch a handsome man? what’s your last name? trofimov. what?

is he russian? pureblood? yes, mother. not a drop of healthy blood in him? a polish grandmother,maybe? a jewish grandfather? no, nothing. what’re you gonna do? inga birman, artiste. i mean, former artist ofthe former soviet union. come on, mother. yes, the carriage of thepast. you can’t go far in it,

as gorky wrote in hisplay the lower depths. you remember it, of course. vaguely. masha, your husband is anignorant, illiterate man. he is literate. he’sa teacher by training. misha, i’m awfully sorry, buthow do you make your living? i sort of have a job. how much does it sort of pay? is it an israeli custom

to ask about your son-in-lawssalary first of all? yes. we, jews, always wantto know who supports whom. mom, that’s enough. it’sall a one woman show. mom has no jewish blood in her. ukrainian on her mother’sside, polish on her father’s. blood doesn’t matter.this is my nationality! this is my israel! my yakovbirman and his 300 relatives. how is uncle yakov? sending his projects to israeli papers:

how to make the promisedland a super-promised land. the power of habit, you know. how about you? are you performing? don’t sleep togethertonight. it’d make me nervous. you have to deliver thisthingamajig to this address. this, too. put it in theattic. i’ll give you the key. what’s in it? presents from santa claus. to blow off noses fornosy parkers like you.

take the money and zip yourtrap. ok, like the yankees say? daddy! dad? i’m here. this is a marvelous estate!misha, is your father a prince? something like that. dad? hello. drive in. daddy, meet my wife masha.and this is her mother inga. i know. i read your cable. come inside.

put your stuff in this room,and inga’s to the next one, with the mirror. lunch is waiting. he’s so stern. i almost froze. misha, why didn’t he say hi to us? greetings are for pussies.you’ll get used to it. it’s all home-grown. help yourself. the sausage, too? dad keeps some pigs. hemakes his own vodka, too. this one is from veggies,and that one – cranberry.

sour cream! i have two cows. yesterdayi caught a pike in the lake. i’ll cook it for dinner. doyou want to go to the sauna? oh yes. now, tell me why you’re here. i need money. 30,000. why did you lie about the wife? it’s for her mom’s sake.dad, please try to understand. i fell for this woman.

do you need money for her? we want to go to the crimea. i see. you’re going abroad. your masha is pretty. and girls like lena are dime a dozen. you can do better than her. i’ll give you this money.i’ll give you more than you ask for. you’ll take her to the crimea and then buy her somethingnice as a farewell gift.

a ring, maybe, or a brooch. they tend to cry lessif you give them a ring. you’re up early, beauty. good morning. i feel like i’m in a fairy tale. i walked round the houseand found the secret place. it’s my wife, polia. is it a memory nook you made here? it’s a grave.

you buried your wifehere? can you do that? no, masha, you can’t. of course you can’t. russiais a bureaucratic land. when you’re born, theyput a tag on your hand. when you die, you have to lie in the landallotted for this purpose. i came out of thecrematorium with the urn, and suddenly i thought:to hell with all that. i’ll bury my wife in myown land. you won’t get her!

i won’t give youanything of mine anymore. you’ve gone rather far inyour war against the state. if i buried her in the city,who would tend to the grave? see? here, she’s always close to me. did you have a good life? i can’t even start telling you. sometimes i’d be silent fordays, and she kept smiling. she never pried into my life. she was a merry woman!

ginger! come here, ginger.here. take it. isn’t it good? dad, we’ll probably leave after lunch. you can take home somedill and radish with you. farm cheese, too. i’d love to. i’m impressed by your farm. i myself don’t have a green finger. sometimes i think if i plant a beetroot, it will grow into pumpkin.or won’t grow at all.

you’re good at growingchildren, though. look at masha. no, masha is a god’s gift.there’s nothing from me in her. i didn’t raise her:she grew up by herself. children don’t grow by themselves.if you withdrew from her, somebody else musthave taken your place. i didn’t withdraw. i justdidn’t hover over her. she was growing up freely. here. take it. ivan petrovich, i wish you all the best,

and thank you for theson. we’re family now. family? dream on, old woman.i’m not your family. did you call me an old woman? that’s who you are. no floral pants or smocks willchange that, old chatterbox! ivan petrovich, what’s wrong? dad!

your dad is at home here,on his own land. and these people! you moved to israel? so stay there! instead of screwing around, you should have kept an eyeon your daughter. family! father! look at yourself, youschmuck! me, an old lady? i dress as i like. and i won’tbe bullied, your bastards. i’m not an old lady,i’m a charming woman in her golden years.

and my daughter is a genius,a beauty, a clever girl. she’s too good for you.go to hell, you old fool! get out of here, all of you! i’m not going anywhere untili have something to eat. why are you doing this?what’s wrong with you? i’m not used to being around people. i’m tired of you as if you’vebeen here a year, not a day! i don’t see any people around.does anybody live in russia at all? we’ve seen a russian man today.

he’s a nice guy. he just gotbarbarous from living alone. if i had a little more time… i got it you haven’tregistered your marriage? we haven’t got to it yet. i see. what do you see? that you’re a fool. where are you going? stop falling apart!

if you burn down ourhouse, i’ll kill you. misha, are you with her? who else? him? i want to die at her feet. i can organize it for youwhen i’m back. you will die. i made scrambled eggs with vegetables:tomatoes, onions, and bell peppers. i don’t like fried tomatoes. i didn’t know that. you could have asked.

masha, get yourselftogether. control yourself. it’s your phone. yes? lena and dasha are inhospital. there was an accident… in the country… damn it! how is she? just a small concussionand a bruised arm. we were in the back seat. shehit her head, and so did i.

how are you? does it hurt? not anymore. now we’llbe all right. you’re here. these bastards, friday noon– and they were drunk already! the brute on the track… my mom… she died on the spot, withoutregaining consciousness. come on. hush. uncle tolia, too! andwe were in the back seat. misha, what are we gonna do?

i know. the main thingis you two are alive. i can’t get rid of this picture.i still see it in my head. misha, your phone. i’ll call them back. let me take something else. i’ve got it. kostia, are you at home? kostia? misha, come here.

dad, look what i’ve got. where did you get it? did you buy it? where did you get the money?who died and made you rich? misha, are you with her?and she’s with you, right? where’s the money coming from? they told me to deliver a bag.i did. then i saw it on tv. what did you see? yourself? the same street and thebanker who was killed. the same street wherei delivered the bag to.

they set you up, you patsy!you’re an accomplice now! it’s at least four years’ term. maybe they won’t find me. you wish. so you’recelebrating with this money? that’s where dasha’spresents come from! idiot. you’re a hopeless idiot. i didn’t know. first they paid me andthen gave me that errand. i thought it was somethingabout private investigations.

don’t shout. cousin, you’re a fool. i feel awful. what if i go to the policemyself? will they arrest me? i guess so. you wanted easy money, easy life? it’s my fault, too. i should have seen thatsomething was wrong. but i was too busy with other things.

you really think they will arrest me?i didn’t know anything! crying won’t help. weneed to make a decision. right. a decision. these are cool. one pill, and you’ll bewatching cartoons for 24 hours. how much? 500 rubles. how much for all of them? yes, i’m listening.

inga? what happened? is she at the hospital? is she alive? i’ll be there. hertsel. you talk to him. lev davydovich? yes.masha can’t talk right now. she’s asleep. yes. how did it happen? don’t lie to me! did you try to kill yourself?

i just wanted to feel happy. even if the happiness wasn’t real. the pills were probablyfake. or maybe i just od’d. forgive me if you can.i’ve failed this test. i can’t deal with everythingand everybody at once. you should have called. i couldn’t. you very well could. i know why you were doing this.

you decided that it was god’spunishment to you, for me. that your family got intothat accident because of me. right? it’s me who is dead. the masha you used toknow doesn’t exist anymore. the poor thing died inpain. now i’ve replaced her. masha, i’m a jerk. but what can i do? i’m responsible for lena, for dasha.they don’t have anybody else. i decided we can’tsee each other anymore.

i can’t cheat on my wife, whohas recently lost her mother, for my own pleasures. so that’s what i am: a pleasure. it doesn’t matter anymore, though. masha, you’re not yourself. i’m scared for you. don’t be. you don’t have toworry about this new masha. i feel sorry for theone who died, though. she was a nice woman.

well, go. go! i’m listening. can i see a detective? which one? any one. the detective said if i hadn’tconfess i’d be an accomplice. but since i statedthat i was a hired help, unaware of their criminal intents and was used for individualerrands, i’m just a witness.

are you scared? i spent all my ability to be scaredwhen drinking under this table. come on. cheers. you drink too much. yesterday you came homedrunk, and now again. lena, stop lecturing me.don’t get on my nerves. i’m sick and tired of this shit. i’m getting on your nerves allthe time lately. why is this? i never loved you, that’s all.

nonsense, misha. dasha! we’ll celebrate our success today. i wouldn’t call it success. you should. this isn’t our home country. here, with some luck, a talentcan find adequate reward. it’s a victory, masha. i mustsay i was worried about you. after that… thing you couldn’tcontrol yourself for a while.

way to go! you didn’t fall for it. for what, yura? love is a bitch. it takes everything and leaves, and you stay alone – pathetic, lost, as if you were muggedat a train station. yura, don’t talk about love. it’s no use, whether you have it or not. i want beer.

whow do you say it? beer! zwei beer. i’l learn german, i promise.i’m a quick guy, you noticed? you’re my little cockroach. i’ll go get us some beer. hello?
