Jump, Comrade Captain! Jump!

Iva-a-n!

What are you looking at?

Don't you see what's happening? This is a short way to

misfortune.

The last is being taken, how to feed the children?

The church is closed. The priest is taken, the icons were burnt.

And what now? I am sorry. People come to me for a piece of

advice.

But what can i do? My grandfather was a real Cossack, and

what about me?

Would you pay attention to this, otherwise misfortune...

Father, what is this for?

This is a shelter for God. He has to be in every house

But does He exist?

In our house he does, but there is no more in the church

Is the grain also for God?

No, it's for us.

Dodoka! Dodokas! Where is your rye?

Next year will be a year of famine.

We go through medical board twice a year! Why again?

At least this one is the last one.

About face!

What is the course?

The last course.

About face!

Right wheel! Forward march!

Dodoka! Dodoka!

Cadet Dodoka! To the commander of the school!

Double-time!

Four hours ago following regular rout, a plane departed with

the post.

It hasn't arrived. Your aim is to find the plane, to give help to

the pilot in case of need,

and evacuate him and guard the place of the crash until

engineers'arrival.

Here is he!

Here is he!

What's wrong with you? Help me!

So, is he alive?

Stop! She's got wolf cubs!

(speaking Tatar) Listen to me! You mustn't kill the pilot.

Because we love each other, and I have to bear him a son.

Hey, pal, we're late for the lights-out time!

I don't get it! She took the shuriken with her bare hands!

When It's spinning, the temperature reaches 6 000 degrees!

It's all about love! Degrees have nothing to do with this.

You can't walk here for free.

Have you got money?

50 copecks

I also have one rouble.

The sham fight was shown very well, I admit, but when they

were flying together

at the end of the film... it doesn't happen.

She was the first time in a plane, and he was performing such

flight manoeuvres!

The loop, Immelmann turn, spin, barrel-roll...

I've been just born.

You know, it's my birthday.

Marry me! I mean, will you marry me?

And what is your name?

Dodoka Ivan Orestovich.

You'd better think faster, I've got morning parade in an hour.

I will.

Keep step! Dress! Attention! Doubl-quick!

Lyubov Anvarovna!

Do I know you?

I would like to wish you on your birthday, Comrade Karimova.

The head of the special department has to know everything

about the full strength.

Let me introduce myself... Stepan Shulika.

Can I give you a lift?

Thank you!

Please, don't you be shy, I'm talking in a neighbourly way.

You don't worry, Iwon't lose my way.

Cadet Dodoka, we have found this at the site of occurrence,

acquaint yourself with it.

I've come to rescue you, noodle.

Stepan!

I will serve in the Army here, I've been advanced.

They entrusted me with the special department...

I brought this, as if I had known that I'd meet you. Take it.

So you came from home!

They gave me a ten day holiday, so I went home straight

away.

Mmm, and how is the village, and everybody?

You eat, eat...

Your father was imprisoned.

At your home the hiding place was found, empty.

Father knew, he knew everything before, what would happen

next.

All right. I've got to go. You'll get out, and we'll talk.

I've got three more days.

What did you think to get for AWOL?

Orderly officer!

Lyubov Anvarovna! Why didn't you sign up for our cycle

group?

Well, I can't ride.

I will teach you. At once if you like.

Bicycles can be two-wheeled, three-wheeled,

seven-wheeled...

Yesterday it wasn't here.

How are you?

You'd better blow?

Abicyclist consists of two parts: a huge kind heart and...

Let me go!

I am getting married!

Whom to?

To a Colonel.

But all our Colonels are married.

Lyubov Anvarovna! Dear! You took it all wrong!

I mean... I wanted to say... Let me explain everything!

This is myfriend Ivan.

War.

Lyubov Karimova to Ivan Dodoka

Lyuba, finally I ventured to write to you.

I regret my rash action deeply.

On that last peaceful morning of our Soviet Motherland I

went off my heat.

But I admit, as a man, I don't regret it.

Your image doesn't leave me since I first saw you.

I trust paper with what I had to tell you at our first meeting.

First time in my life I experienced a feeling that blazed up and

I lost my mind.

I love you, Lyuba!

And I can do anything for you.

To live without you is torture. Your Stepan.

Petka, keep a seat for me!

Comrade Colonel, report. To the front.

Again? You'll go to the front, and who will teach them to fly?

Don't come to me with this no more.

Comrade lieutenant, Ivan Orestovich,

I was removed from flights.

They are ging to transfer me.

you are said to teach a rail to fly.

Follow me, double-quick!

Is it a battle plain?

You were removed! My grandfather was flying a plough

astride.

How is it?

He was a Cossack wizard.

Sit here!

You know there were such Cossacks,

cast-a-spell-over-Cossacks, neither bullets nor sabres harm

him,

and they could fly anything.

Close your eyes.

Without sails, from the ground,

take me up to the skies, hey, hoy, tailless hound.

What?

Without sails, from the ground,

take me up to the skies, hey, hoy, tailless hound.

Close your eyes.

Without sails, from the ground,

take me up to the skies

hey, hoy, tailless hound.

You have to repeat this 17 thousand 3 times...

hey, hoy, tailless hound...

and you'll be able to fly either a plough and a fighter.

Comrade lieutenant, do you also believe in God?

That's all for today. You may leave now.

Post. Stepan Vasilievich, may I go?

You may go.

Hello, Stepan. We can only be friends.

I love an other man, an I don't need anybody else.

Stepan, could you help me to find Ivan?

My dear Ivan, I don't know what to think!

At any free minute I write a letter to you, but I don't receive a

reply.

I want to hear from you so much.

Of course you are at the front already, otherwise my letters

would find you at the military school.

It seems an eternity since I saw you last.

Lyuba, my dear, all my letters are unanswered.

They don't let me go from the school, but I have thought

everything over.

I will be at the front soon, and not a single fascist bomb will

fall on the ground where I will fly.

Every time when a wounded pilot is brought the world

stands still, is it you or not?

I reread the only letter from you... about the storks that live
