To cast light on their love

and the toil of their hands,

and bring happiness and

fulfillment to their lives.

Time to light the family hearth!

May the fire of love

burn forever and ever!

- Is anything wrong?

- No.

Next, the wedding gifts!

Are you sure

you're all right?

Yes. What time do we do it?

How do they react?

Two options.

Open or secret gifting.

When someone hands you money,

people can see how much they gave.

Guests who are worse off

might not like that.

We could ask them to leave

money under a doll's house.

"Laying the Foundation

for the family budget."

Dear guests! Time for everyone

to contribute to the family budget.

Inflation keeps on rising, so

we accept everything, even shares.

Banknotes - red, blue or yellow!

A shot of vodka to follow!"

But those who gave more might

get upset because their heroism

will remain unknown.

At least, with the first option,

I'll find out who loves me most.

But with the second option,

you won't lose friends.

But need to know now...

A dance, then?

Whatever happens in your life,

Hold on to each other tight,

Let it be a wonderful dance

Through the years together!

Can't dance. I'm getting

some lessons this weekend.

I'll show you.

What's going on?

I'm anxious... don't

know how I feel.

You only get married once.

It's not the wedding yet.

Have to know exactly

what's going to happen.

Understand that.

Remembered him

proposing to me.

In this very cafe.

Was shocked.

He did not warn me.

Had not thought

that one through.

It came out of the blue...

out of the blue.

How did it feel?

Cried before, during

and after my cappuccino.

Thank you.

We're much more relaxed

now that it's all planned out.

Well, if there's anything

else you need organizing...

You organize other

things as well?

A wedding is just the

beginning of a long journey.

We haven't planned

that far yet.

Of course.

Wait!

You said you can organize

what happens after the wedding?

Well, if you want to

leave it all to chance...

Of course not. We thought it

was out of our budget.

Don't worry about it for now.

You want it to be special, don't you?

You want to do things

the European way, right?

First option:

Figure skating.

In six years, it will be

back in fashion.

You must plan it now

for your child's sake.

Option two:
Foreign languages.

In case you want to emigrate...

You must realize that in 15 years

the local economy will go bust.

You don't want your daughter

to end up at city hall...

Making 200 dollars

a month, right?

- No. - And you don't want your

son working for the police.

Why would he?

Because there will be

no other jobs, trust me.

It's all been organized.

If we don't counter-organize,

everything will go unorganized.

Sign her up for

foreign languages, then.

Why not figure skating?

Are you out of your mind?

Now, married life.

It's a great thing, of course.

Sorry?

How long before your

mutual attraction fades away?

We haven't thought

about it yet.

What have you thought about?

Are you going to

leave it all to chance?

- No. - Knew you would

take things seriously,

So I've made some calls.

Meet Lena - and,

by coincidence, another Lena.

Hello.

He's a nice feller. No cheating

for the first 6 years.

Lena and Lena

are completely different.

Lena is going to study

literature. She likes poetry.

The other Lena has no plans yet.

But she's really beautiful.

No, need a moment...

After Lena graduates, she could

work in the same office as Dmitry.

With Lena #2, they could see

each other at the dog owners' club.

We don't have a dog.

We'll see to that. So?

Girls, how old are you?

We're planning 6 years in advance.

Now, about you.

Are we planning well

in advance now, too?

Two years at most.

What you see is pretty much

what you're going to get.

Nice married men, all of them.

I'd like someone

who's good at sex.

Wouldn't you rather have

a shoulder to lean on?

Said sex.

Is it getting clearer for you?

I'll mail you the whole script later.

Let's discuss the ending now.

- The ending?

- Yes.

What options do we have?

Very few, I'm afraid.

Can offer 2050 and 2055.

- Separate endings?

- As usual.

- Who's going to be the first?

- Dmitry is a gentleman, so...

It's still too far away,

so I don't really care.

What am going to feel?

It's too far away,

so you shouldn't care.

I'd still like to know.

Time is running out.

Lunch break's over?

No, not right now.

Mean, generally.

Women have less time

to do things in life.

Youth, raising children...

Men have at least 10

more years to enjoy life.

And less years to live.

Men die sooner.

Hey, the jazz is here.

Hello!

Irina is a trained singer.

She is the person to go to

if you don't want traditional

Russian wedding songs.

When would you

like us to pay?

You'll pay

when it's over.

Olya, what the hell are you doing?

Get back to work, now!

Hello, it's Alexei.

You said you could help me with

the technical inspection of my car.

I'm on my way, near the garages.

How do get to you from here?

There seems to be

a roundabout here...

ROUNDABOU:

Hey, go straight down that lane.

When you pass the trash cans,

continue down lane B.

Don't miss the turn into lane A.

There's no sign,

so keep your eyes peeled.

You'll pass a heap of tires.

On the intersection, go left.

There's gonna be a sign

saying Car Repairs.

Say you're going to the body

shop and go through the gate.

- There's a No Entry" sign there.

- Just ignore it.

Hello!

Insurance papers... OK, seems like

we have everything we need.

- Do pay when it's ready?

- No, you pay now.

- Will it take long?

- Look, I'll go to the cops

after the weekend.

The paperwork takes three days.

So it's going to be a genuine

inspection certificate?

Of course it will. We don't print

them at night, you know.

OK:

Oh, and one more thing.

The photos in the database.

Read it on the Internet that

they take photos of every car

during the inspection

to avoid fraud.

Why do you think we charge

We have photos of all car makes,

all possible colors.

Taken at the inspection site.

And we have a dude who

photoshops license plates

onto these photos. Looks real.

- We'll call you when it's done.

- Great.

- Forgot - who gave you my number?

- Max who drives an X5.

Hello. I'm Kirill.

- I'm here about a travel passport.

- You're bleeding.

Do pay there

or right away?

Right away.

I'll pay them myself.

Sh*t, pardon me,

I'll clean it up.

A little blood is OK.

You said won't

have to wait!

Sh*t.

Call me in 10 seconds.

I'll think of something.

- There's a line here.

- I'm not here to file a request.

Those getting a passport

have to wait too..

I'm not here for a passport.

It's work-related.

That's what they all say.

Get in the line, smart ass.

Major Antokhin speaking.

Was just about to come in.

Care to see my badge?

You want to get that

passport, don't you?

Loginov!

May?

- Your passport will be ready
