Nastya

Yawn

Moscow 1992

Do you have any notebooks?

No, we have no notebooks either.

How about ink?

No ink either.

How about a geometric compass?

We don't have one, but we

do have the "goat legs" device

Here, take a look.

You stick a pencil in here,

stand it like this, and turn it

And do you have any

pencils in stock?

No. No pencils.

And what's in those

ink cartridges?

There's nothing in them.

They're just there for decoration.

And what did they

used to contain before?

Little boy, why don't

you take a hike?

You can do that yourself.

Whaaat?!

Well? Has it begun?

Saint Yakov Alekseevich

They're just going to the bath-house

Aunty-dear, do you have

any erasers?

Yes, we do have erasers.

Here

So, are you taking them?

I'm taking.

Varya, ring him up!

Ask if they said

anything over the radio

Well, ask, go ahead.

Well...those bastards!

- Is it a coup?

- No, not that

They stole our rubber hose

Yakov Alekseevich, may I please run home?

Mom's having a heart attack.

Mom, let's not talk about that

So you don't even believe

there's happy families out there

There are... one in a thousand

And you will have one, too.

Why do you refuse it in advance?

Mom, I thought we had an agreement...

OK, I'll keep mum

...And how is Val'ka doing?

Is she still rotating her boyfriends?

She is.

Well, that's the way to go.

She'll look around for some time

and finally find someone

Whereas I'm gonna die

and you will be left all alone

But you'd better ask me:

"Is it easy to live your whole life alone?"

Mom!

The majority of women have already been married,

got a divorce, and will never marry ever again.

not for anything!

But people will gossip that no one

wants to marry you

And what do you think? You think

I have no boys I know?

- I don't mean that

- Well, I have them!

Who?

A guy.

Then why are you sitting

at home all the time?

Go out with him.

Mom, where am I gonna go

if you are sick?

What do I need you for?

I'll knock on the neighbor's wall

and she'll come over

Come on, go out with him

And you know something!

Bring him here.

We could all watch TV together

And I could enjoy a bit more

Ah, here it is.

Hello...?

Well if you want, maybe

I will bring him here now

Sweetheart, put on my shoes

Mom, it's wet outside,

they'll get ruined

Just put them on

Shurik! Hello! How's life?

Life's normal. But who is this?

It's Nastya? Have you

forgotton me? Ay, ay, ay!

You and I met at Mymrik's

birthday party

Oh, are you Valya?

No, I am a friend of hers.

I was wearing a beige dress.

So, what are you doing right now?

Studying

And I had some free time,

so I thought, why don't I call you.

It's such nice weather,

maybe we can take a walk?

Well, I am actually busy

Shurik, I really need you.

I have a proposition for you.

We need to talk.

Alright, I'll meet you at 7

by the Engels monument.

Good. I'll be there.

Shurik! Here I am.

Hi.

Umm...Hi

Well... what's up!

So, what's going on? Report.

Are we just gonna stand around here?

Let's take a walk.

Let's.

Well...start talking.

Quite honestly, I don't have

any proposal for you.

I was just in the right mood,

so I decided to give you a call.

And I am glad that I called

Actually, I've got lots

of studying to do

You shouldn't study all the time. Your

whole life will pass and you won't notice

How about we go to my place.

It's better than freezing ourselves out here.

Let's go

- Young man!

- Me?

Could you please

punch me in the face?

Don't react to him

I deserve it

We're not bothering you,

and you please don't bother us

Come, come

I understand.

Sir! Could you please punch me in the face?

Sometime in the winter, I will.

- Hippy! If I hit him,

his head would fall off...

- Yes

- Hippy!

Ah, forget him. May I ?

Excuse me. I feel more

comfortable this way.

Excuse me for wearing high heels

Hey listen! How about we

go get your books and study at

my place?

Our place is quiet.

There's my sick mom there, but

she won't get in your way

Why? Why did you call me out here

if you can't even wear high heels?

Shurik, don't get upset.

My mom made me wear them.

Why did you drag me

out of the house?

For me to sit with your sick mom?

What the hell does she

need me for?

You'd better sit with her yourself,

instead of calling up random people

Next time keep in mind

No matter how I am,

I will always find me someone, if I need to.

And it will be someone

better than you.

Oh, it's you.

What's happened to you?

Come in. It's nothing.

Hi, Mymrik

Nastya, you're a reasonable person.

You make the call

We're going out of town to a concert

Just for one day

For one night

An administrator is coming with us.

Is this normal?

A female adminisrator.

The woman is 100 years old!

She's 40

What's the difference?

- Ah, here they are.

- Thank you.

- What's that?

- Glasses.

Ah, they've come for me.

I'll open it.

Please stop crying. Please don't.

Howdy.

Should I cancel my trip?

What do you mean "cancel"?

Have you totally lost it?

Howdy.

The train is coming in 20 minutes.

I'll call you

Come on, let's go, let's go.

Have a nice day.

Wait, you forgot the bag

Why the hell does he need

a suitcase for just 1 day?

- Here!

- OK, thanks a lot

- You're welcome

- I'll give you a call

- Bye bye.

Well, why do you always

torment him?

He's a total saint.

I never see him off.

I can't stand watching him leave.

I have only 2 people,

you and Mymrik.

and I have only 2:

you and mom.

Mom wants me to bring

home some sort of boyfriend.

Then she will calm down.

So now I wanted to

borrow Mymrik from you.

My poor poor girl.

Oh how badly you need a man.

Let's call Val'ka.

She's always got a

truckfull of boyfriends.

Perhaps we shouldn't?

Hi.

- Valechka, you see...

- You can tell me later

- To the center!

- Cost you a gran

Get in.

Hey there, little dame!

- What about the money?

- I'm sorry, chief, no can't do.

They don't like it when

I pay money to men.

- We don't like it, dear.

- OK, fine.

We'll be seeing each other.

Well why are you all shy?

Come over here.

Hello.

Hello to you.

Gentlemen, get acquainted. This is Nastya.

We need a third...

What to do?

Should we give Veller a call?

Lost your mind.

Then let's call Fima.

Shoot. We should have warned

them ahead of time.

Oh, why am I wasting everyone's time!

I totally forgot: I can't today.

That's right, I cannot.

Please do excuse me.

- Do you want me to come with you?

- No, it's fine. Thank you, so sorry, bye!

They're expecting me

I fell down. It's slippery.

Lady, your face is very familiar.

Where could I have seen you before?

I don't know.

Lady must not think that

Aleksandr Pechogin is a drunkard.

Aleksandr Pechogin went to the

dinosaurs to get a job as a driver.

And the dinosaurs give

Aleksandr Pechogin a glass of Vodka to drink.

I drank and they instantly give me

another one, telling me to chase it down

with water.

I drink it, but it's vodka.

Pranksters.
