Nastya Page #4

---

Do you remember what we talked about

when you walked me home?

Yes... in general terms...

And how you set a date with me?

Have you forgotten?

You forgot.

Of course I remember!

Where, then?

- You tell me where. I remember.

- Metro station "Makhno"

- At 7

- Right, Makhno at 7

Nastya, I am sorry, I

landed a small job here.

Hey, chief, be a pal,

can u stop this machine?

Nastya dear, take a look,

which way fits me better?

Up to here, or down to here?

It was good like it was.

No, why should I look like a relic?

We have people visiting nowadays.

Yeah, up to here.

Mom, do you know how to tap-dance?

Peace of cake!

Oh, I am not supposed to.

So, did you return the cigarettes?

I did.

Was he glad?

He was.

OK, come what may,

I'm gonna trim it.

Mom, do you think it's acceptable

if I ask Teterin to hire Sasha as a driver?

Of course it's acceptable.

But how does it look? I barely met him

and I'm already bugging him for favors...

Oh, please.

Does he have a drivers license?

Yes, he does...probably.

- Teterin speaking.

- Vladimir Nikolaevich, hello again.

- Margunin has stopped by. They want

to install the toilet door for me.

- Can you imagine?

- Mom...

They're simply tormenting me and you!

I could punch a hole through this door with

my bare finger. It's as thin as cardboard.

- Punch through what?

- The closet door

- What door? Who is speaking?

- It's Tonya Plotnikova?

- What Tonya?... Who?!

Nastya's mom.

- Hello

- Mom, say about Sasha

- Oh, whatever.

- I beg your pardon.

Vladimir Nikolaevich, Nastya has

given me an idea here...

You know we have this one

relative here, named Sasha

So well-mannered, quiet, not a drunk.

Can we give him a job as your driver?

- Well why not? Of course. Tell him to come by today

- Thank you.

No problem. Tell me, is Nastya there?

Could you give her the phone?

Nastya? Yeah, sure.

- It's for you

- I'm not here

- Alright, please send her my regards.

- I will. Thank you, Vladimir Nikolaevich.

- So you won't forget about that door?

- I won't

- OK, thanks, bye now.

Mom, so what about Sasha?

Also settled. You're taking Sasha and

bringing him there with all his work papers.

But tell him it's gotta be today.

There's too many applicants for a gig like that.

- I'm listening...

- Hello, Olya, this is Nastya

- Olya, did Sasha come home?

- No

I'll go ahead and hang myself

And they will bury me

[WESTERN ACCENT] Oh, you look fine...

- Hello

- Hello

I am sorry for making an acquaintance on the street,

but perhaps we will be dining together?

- ...and making photographs?

- Nah, we won't be.

Then maybe we'll buy some brand-name clothes

and you will be in my collection of Beautiful Russian Women?

- No

- I'll pay in dollars

- Mister, want me to show you a trick?

- I don't understand very well.

- May I?

- What for?

A trick, look!

OK? Let's run!

[SINGING]...I'll go ahead and hang myself...

- Woa! We ran away.

- Olya, you're nuts.

We should have ripped out

his sideburns, that foreign pervert!

- But where is your hat?

- Oh no, it fell off back there.

- Wait here

- Forget it. Don't go, they'll beat you.

Pardon me.

But this hat already has an owner.

Do pardon me.

Hey, beauty, where are you off to?

Stop, I am asking you nicely.

But the hat is ours.

Just try and come closer! Just try it.

- I'll slam you so hard that you'll spend your

hole life working off the hospital bills

- Oh yeah?!

- Say what?!

- Have you no decency?

Say what?!

- We're not bother you...

- Why, look at you...

- ...and you leave us alone

- ...and look at how you behave

Come on, there's no one around.

Nothing but trash here.

- Hey, Crooky, hold this

- Let's go.

And how about the TV set?

And what about the china?

I'm bringing it

You know, Nastya, until the

age of 13, I was an Ugly Duckling

- Where to?

- We're to see Teterin

But when I realized that someone could like me,

I lost all interest in being that.

What do you think of love, does it exist?

- It probably does

- Well, I can't fall in love.

I want to... We're to see Teterin... and I cannot.

- Why is that?

- Perhaps you are overly demanding

- What do you think of Shakespeare?

- Shakespeare is an English writer.

How do you interpret Hamlet's words:

"One must be cruel only to be kind"?

Excuse me for a second

Pardon me, can you tell me

where Mr. Teterin's office is?

- It's over there

- Thank you

- Here's the documents, I'll wait for you here

- But what if they ask me something. No, come along.

Excuse me, who is the last in line here?

We are.

Then we'll be after you.

And here everyone is amazed at you, too.

Or have you gotten used to it?

Not quite.

Thank you, gentlemen, please...

Here, please meet the

most beautiful girl in Moscow.

Anastasia Plotnikova herself!

Vladimir Nikolaevich, you have

a call from Washington, D.C.

As soon as I am done,

send in Plotnikova.

Goodbye.

I see you took the time to charm even Teterin.

Olya dear, I've known him for only 20 minutes.

Oh, Nastya, this isn't my hat.

- How can that be?

- Someone else's...

It's totally new, with a new label.

Nightmare, what have we done?!

Turns out we stole it from him?!

Not stole it... we "privatized" it.

You cannot come in. He is

on a call with Washington.

- Will it be long?

- I don't know.

- But next appointment is Plotnikova

- Who?

Plotnikova. His orders.

You just tell him I am here.

Vladimir Nikolaevich, do excuse me,

Zhukova is here.

but you ordered to send in Plotnikova

I am all confused, don't know whom to send in.

Vladimir Nikolaevich, did you hear me?

Send in Plotnikova.

- As I understand it, you are Plotnikova?

- I am

- What for?

- Trash

Hey, where are you going?

So you're buying beets for newbies,

you slimy democrat!

- Scumbag!

- Let go of my hair, you fool!

Olya!

- What now?

- Please hear me out.

What is there to hear? That you

have known Teterin for only 20 minutes.

And you leave us alone, got it?

- But this is unfair.

- One must be cruel only to be kind.

Shakespeare, Hamlet.

Wear it, buddy. An investment.

Mercedes 600 will take you away from all your...

Yakov Alekseevich, may I please sit here awhile?

- I am a relative of Nastya Plotnikova.

- Actually, no, you're not allowed to.

Swimsuits from the firm Kitaina.

Sold in the USA and in Beryozka stores.

What are you...?

What for?

Please don't. We'll fix it ourselves.

Oh, come now...

Don't be so upset.

Our Nastya will come and fix it all.

Come now... don't cry.

Calm down.

- I'm so cold...

- Please don't

- I got hit in the face for no reason

That's alright. Nowadays everyone

gets it in the face.

I keep calling and calling him,

but she hangs up on me.

Yakov Alekseevich,

maybe you can call him?

- No, I wouldn't feel right.

- It's not for me. It's for your beloved Nastya.

- For Nastya?

- Yes.

You see...she met one young man.

But his sister decided that Nastya is a slut.

Nastya?! Plotnikova?!

Yes.

- How can I reach her?
