Gromozeka Page #4

- It was here yesterday. Please don't yell at me.

You are yelling like a pig.

- You are always yelling at me.

- Stop yelling!

- Who was on duty yesterday?

- It was Gromov!

What for?

It will be better. It's what I want.

And Lena agreed to go along with it?

Yes.

I don't have much room.

You have a wife. An apartment.

Somebody else needs that cot more.

Can I use my influence

at least once in my life?

I won't cause any trouble.

I will buy a coffin

and I'll buy a plot.

Strange.

How long do you have?

A month.

More or less.

- Odds?

- Zero.

I told you to stop smoking.

- Back when we were freshmen.

- I've been hearing that...

...since fourth grade.

A**hole.

Is it a yes?

Damn you.

Yes.

Another thing.

I knew there'd be

something else.

Give me some Phenobarbital.

Can't sleep?

Yes.

Do you carry hydrochloric acid?

Spirits.

Ammonia spirits.

I'm driving.

Hi.

Hi. Why are you calling?

- I miss you.

- I see...

Why don't you say anything?

Why don't you say anything?

Are you alone?

- Are you at it again?

- Sorry.

When will you be back home?

In the morning?

Why?

Just curious.

In the morning.

I'm on night duty.

Good.

What's good?

- Don't pick on words.

- Sorry.

Well, bye.

- Bye.

- Bye bye.

[Be back in 15 minutes. ]

Yes?

Hey man,

- ... got any booze?

- No.

Fair enough.

Hey,

... need a priest?

What?

Want last rights?

I know a priest. Cheap.

I'm not baptized.

- Are you a Jew?

- Yeah, yeah.

I can get a rabbi.

He's more expensive

because he doesn't drink.

I don't need one.

Cosmopolitan?

No. Agnostic.

Agnostic.

Listen, agnostic,

...you really ought to

believe in God.

- Does he believe in me?

- Sure.

He believes in everyone.

You putting it off. But if you wait

too long, it will be too late.

Get out of here.

I'm sick of it all.

Who do you think you are?

Archangel Michael?

- How did you know?

- Know what?

My name.

OK, I get it.

I came here to die quietly,

but it isn't working.

Listen, Archangel Michael.

Get going.

Where do I go?

To hell.

You go there yourself!

She didn't give you a key?

Captain Gromov.

Let's see some ID.

Stop!

Stop.

Well?

How long?

A long time.

Hold this.

Stop!

How are we doing?

The usual. OK.

OK.

The usual.

Please, Dad.

Let's just drink tea.

Work wore me out today.

Sure. It's hard work.

Please, Dad.

Sugar?

Lemon.

Lemon...

Stop right where you are!

To hell with you. Shoot me.

Where... did you come from?

Katseveli.

I waited tables in a restaurant.

That's where I met her.

I remember you.

I don't remember you.

I love her.

I've loved her my whole life.

What about her?

Don't say a word.

She loves me.

- I'm busy.

- You're a doctor, right?

Was.

A man is dying.

Everyone here is dying.

This is my second day.

I don't know what to do.

Help me.

Dude.

Gosha.

I just killed a man.

Hold his head.

Spoon.

He's biting his tongue.

Is he dying? Is this the end?

It's just ordinary epilepsy.

- I thought he was dying.

- What have you been giving him?

Ethosuximide as prescribed.

Ethosuximide works

for petit mal seizures.

It won't help with a grand mal seizure.

You learn that on day one.

Where did they find you?

- I'm a volunteer.

- Got any carbamazepine, volunteer?

- I'll go see.

- Run. Faster!

Easy, easy.

Good job.

Good job.

Easy, easy.

Good job.

Mike. The archangel.

- Hey.

- What?

Got any... booze?

Let's see.

- Where's the hole?

- What hole?

The round bullet hole.

I'm telling you I didn't shoot him.

He just fell dead.

What?

He fell down.

He isn't breathing.

- He died on his own?

- Yeah.

Dad, don't scare me

like that next time.

- Come on.

- Where are you going?

The hell away from here.

Hurry up.

But I killed him.

Oh yeah? Wake up, Dad.

He died on his own.

Nobody saw you.

Someone will find him.

I can't do that.

That's inhumane.

Did you say inhumane?

Why don't you say it's un-Christian?

Calm down already.

And try to control your desires.

- In what sense?

- You stick out like a sore thumb.

- We should call an ambulance.

- What can we tell them?

That you wanted to kill Mom's boyfriend,

but he died on his own?

- You knew him?

- And you didn't?

Where are you taking her?

To a burn center, of course.

Will she be OK?

- Her leg will heal, right?

- We'll see.

Can I go with her?

- Who are you?

- What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

He's my dad.

I'm my dad.

I'm sorry.

I am sorry.

Gosha,

...when did you find out?

I mean, about him.

I don't remember.

I think I've always known.

Why didn't you tell me?

- About what?

- About him.

Why upset you?

You felt sorry for me?

Maybe so.

Hey Gosha,

...what are we going to tell Mom?

Nothing.

But she'll be expecting him.

She'll worry.

Dad, are you totally

out of your mind?

Yeah, to tell you the truth.

It's okay. It happens.

The first time.

- What do you mean the first time?

- Never mind.

Well?

Happy now?

The subscriber is unavailable.

Please leave your message.

Lenka, hi.

Lena.

Damn.

Not that.

Who wants seconds?

Boys?

- Me.

- Me.

You... Larisa...

Keep it together.

Don't cry.

You have us.

I love you so much.

I love you...

...very, very much.

I can't live without you.

My heart...

...is ripped... into pieces.

I love you so much.

Lord.

What a...

...bastard I am.

I so want to keep living.

I so want to keep living.

- How's life?

- Fine.

You?

Fine.

Bird of happiness of tomorrow...

Flew into my window.

Pick me! Pick me!

Bird of happiness of tomorrow!

How much silver there is

in the star-filled sky!

Tomorrow will be better than yesterday!

Better than yesterday! Better than yesterday!

Tomorrow will be

better than yesterday!

Somewhere a guitar is playing.

A true heart will hold on to love.

My heart will hold on to love.

But the bird of luck...

...will fly away again.

When tomorrow morning comes,

...someone else will be

first instead of me.

Someone else, not me.

Someone else, not me.

It will be his turn to sing

this song of tomorrow.

My song will play.

A true heart...

...will hold on to love.

A true heart will hold on to love.

And the bird of luck...

...will come back again.
