Nastya Page #2

---

Still, you have a very

familiar face.

Where could I have seen you before?

Excuse me, on which dates

did they say they'd cut off the electric

current to the tram line?

on even or odd days?

on even ones.

and today is which one?

an even one.

Aleksandr Pechogin, wake up.

We've arrived.

Lady

Lady, wait. I just remembered...

I saw you under comrade Engels

- Why are you following me?

- I am walking you home

- What for?

- Because I am a gentleman

Listen, gentleman, go home

and get some sleep

Understood

People!

She does not need me.

In fact, nobody needs me

I am a stranger to this

festival of life

Forgive me and good bye!

What are you doing?

So long

Over here

I'm sorry, but it wasn't meant to be.

Why, you... you...are an idiot!

- It's all over now

- You're an imbecile!

I've been condemned to remain alive.

Why, you...you're a total psycho!

There's a ledge here

And if you missed it, you'd be

falling 20 meters down

And that would have been the best scenario

What should I do with you?

- Call the cops?

- What for? They'll pick me up anyway.

Where do you live?

Ivan the Terrible Street #6, apt 9

- Let me walk you home.

- No need.

Hey, do I have a bruise here?

You asked for it.

Why did you want to get it?

I am an epitomy...

What?

A punishment because I...

too long to explain

Alright, then. Take care.

All the best to you.

Take off your coat.

Oh, button up your shirt.

And comb your hair.

Do you have a comb?

Come over here

Mom, why did you get up?

I'm feeling much better. Hello.

This is Aleksandr.

Nastya's mom. Very pleased to meet you.

Oh, no. Please don't. We're informal here.

Nastya, please get him slippers.

Please have a seat.

You over here, and Nastya over here.

And I'll be here on the edge.

Help yourself.

Macaroni from flour.

Homemade cabbage.

- Salt.

- Mom, we already ate.

- We were visiting friends

- Is that so? What a pity.

Well, let's drink a shot,

and then I'll leave you two alone.

I've got things to finish up in the kitchen.

He's gonna take a pass.

I'll pass.

In that case I'll drink alone.

To our encounter!

Mom, you've lost it.

You've got a heart condition,

and you're drinking

It's alright.

Please do go ahead and smoke.

I can smoke later on.

Pardon me, Aleksandr,

so when did you first meet Nastya?

Because she's got nothing

but secrets from me.

He frequents our store... every day...

And that's where me met.

I see.

And all this you see,

Nastya sewed it all by herself.

That one there is

Van Gogh... Vincent.

The one who cut off his ear.

You recall?

It's called "Sunflowers"

And these days, Nastya is

working on "The Swan Lake"

Do you remember it

from the ballet?

He comes to the lake, and

when the swan sees him, it comes

alive and starts to dance.

That's very pretty

It came alive and started dancing

like so:
tam, tam...

mom...

I'll be right back

I'll have something to eat.

- Whom are you trying to reach?

- Did you order the engine oil?

- No

There was this man with a beard-

he told me it was apartment 9

Oh, that's one flight down.

This building has two #9 apartments

He fell asleep. He's probably tired.

Maybe we should give him

the roll-out bed?

No can't do.

Sasha!

you fell asleep

You need to walk him home.

So that our local hooligans

don't harass him.

Watch out!

And there's your tram.

And here is my tram...

- You're a good person. We should get together.

- We can...

How can I call you?

- 333-77-22

- I'll remember it

Well, take care, Tanya.

My name is Nastya.

Forgive me. I've got these lapses... Bye.

So you call me, alright?

Hey, move aside.

Airhead.

Oh, shoot, damn it!

They opened up all the

holes in the city, damn parasites!

Here, here, let me help you,

did you hurt yourself, grandma?

They removed all the lids

from the sewers on purpose

So that people fall right through them

Not really, granny. People are stealing it

for themselves- for iron recycling

Look at that. Can one call

this a potato?

It's only good for shooting

with a slingshot

It would be nice to take this potatoe

and shoot her right in the eye!

Who?

Why, that seller girl

Now yank my bike out of there

and I will head home

Maybe you shouldn't?

Now it's dark and dangerous.

In that case, you pull it yourself

Follow me

OK... This way.

Bring the bike up

- You...watch it there, don't bend the spokes

It'a an imported vehicle.

- I won't bend them, granny

- Do you have a hex on you?

- A what?

- You know... an evil eye.

- I don't think so.

- I can remove it

- Thanks, no need for it.

Alright. Do you have a sacred wish?

- No, granny, I don't have one.

- You're lying.

I will fulfill TWO of your sacred wishes.

As an exception to the rule.

For I see you are not quite a scumbag yet.

Granny!

- Granny, let's put your bike in. They might steal it.

- That does not concern you.

TWO and no more.

And that's that.

Aleksandr left his cigarettes here

You already told me

Oh, yeah. Seems like a nice guy.

- So quiet

- Yes, quiet

- And knows when to stop drinking

- Yes, he knows.

- Tell him to stop by more

- I will

- And he liked the Van Gogh

You shouldn't criticize your work.

Look, finish this swan.

We can give the Van Gogh to Aleksandr

and move the swan here. It will fit better here.

- Mom, if only I could be like that...

- Like what?

Like her

She's all covered in feathers

like some American Indian

Alright... let's go to sleep.

If only I could be like that...

Young lady,

Please take a seat

- Me?

- Yes, you

Please go ahead

What... What is it?

Did my face get dirty?

Pardon me.

Pardon me.

Mom!

Have a look at me.

- You're my beauty.

- You recognize me?

What, you want me to not recognize you?

- Office supplies.

- Hello, Yakov Alekseevich

- It's me, Nastya

- Where are you?

- Yakov Alekseevich, my mom is really sick

Can you give me a few

days off, without pay?

Really?

- Yakov Alekseevich, I have

never asked you before

- All right, take it.

- Thank you, Yakov Alekseevich

And who are you?

Plotnikova's replacement, are you?

Yeah, I am Plotnikova's replacement.

If this job's too hard for her,

she should come out and say so.

We'll find someone else, no problem.

- We give her free living quarters

- Why are you yelling? I am working here.

Gentle lady,

Howdy.

Hi.

This task is not for you, lady.

We can handle it without you.

You go right ahead, have fun, enjoy, get some rest

Margunin!

What is it?

All your sewer covers have been stolen

and look what you're up to.

- Did you deliver the pipes?

- Where am I to get them?

- Alright, go and they'll sign out the pipes for you?

Young lady, you rest up and enjoy yourself.

I'll send the right person here now.

So you are our new maintenance man?

I'm replacing Plotnikova

Plotnikova?

I know... Sounds familiar.

Cuz...they stole all the sewer covers

and no one has put any flags up

somebody will surely fall

into the hole

it happens

Huh! Precisely,

one already fell in!
