The Golden Calf Page #3

---

Also, give them a barrel of aviation gasoline.

The rally has to be very short.

Save you speeches for other machines.

- How are the other machines?

- Lagging behind. Punctures, breakdowns,..

...the enthusiasm of the population --

-- all these things cause delay.

Are you in the commander's car?

Is Kleptunov with you?

I took Kleptunov out of the race.

And Professor Pessochnikov --

is he in the Packard?

And the woman writer -- Vera Cruz?

I'd like to have a look at her.

- And Nezhinsky. Is he also with you?

- You know, I'm rather tired from the race.

- Are you in the Studebaker?

- You may consider our car a Studebaker,..

...but until now it has been called

a Lauren-Dietrich.

But there are no Lauren-Dietrichs in the race.

I read about two Packards, two Fiats

and one Studebaker.

Go to devil's mother with your Studebaker!

Who is this Studebaker?

Is Studebaker related to you?

Is Stidebaker your father?

Why do you annoy a fellow like this?

I tell him in plain Russian...

...that at the last moment a Lauren-Dietrich

was substituted for the Studebaker,..

...and still he bothers me!

Experts! Such experts should be shot!

He will have a Studebaker.

I rejoice in the opportunity...

...to violate the patriarchal peace

of the city of Udoyev...

...with an automobile siren.

The automobile, comrades, is not a luxury

but a means of conveyance.

The automobile is vehicle of internal combustion!

The automobile is also vehicle of the culture!

We must work for the uninterrupted production

of Soviet automobiles.

The iron steed comes to take the place

of the puny peasant horse!

Use automobile, comrades. Everybody!

Let's race against aimlessness, slovenliness...

...and bureaucracy!

After a bite to eat

we shall continue our long journey.

Purchase auto club lottery tickets!

Join auto club!

Improve the roads!

Merci for the reception!

City of Gryazhsk

Welcome!

Hip, hip, hurrah!

The iron horse!..

Thanks!..

City of Novozaytsev

Brave motorists!

Hurrah!

Join auto club!

Thanks!

City of B.Pogost

Welcome!

Hurrah!

Thanks!

City of Luchansk

Comrades! I believe in automotive future

of Luchansk. It's gonna be beautiful!

In a short while ...

...one of every three--

no, one of every two inhabitants of Luchansk...

...become a motorist.

Straight like an arrow

highway will unite Luchansk and Udoev.

I recall an old French joke...

Remove the photographer!

Comrades, I'll respond to your questions later.

A Frenchman returns home from a business trip

and quite unexpectedly...

...finds his young wife...

[...take the car into custody...]

Join auto club, comrades!

Thanks for reception!

These are crooks! At them, boys!

Stop! When I catch up with you

I'll fire all of you!

Stop! Can't you see that we've lost our chief?

Mommy!

Faster, Adam!

Full speed ahead!

Help!

I'm coming, greybeard. I'm coming.

"She is coming"! Did you hear it, Alexander

Ivanovich, "she is coming"!

A man is late and "she is coming".

Here is the main course and then I have to run.

They are awaiting me in "The Youth News".

This puzzle is tough to solve.

Could be a real challenge for you.

What the hell is "sation"?

A challenge, indeed... Especially the goat.

What could be the meaning of the goat?

How are you, Alexander Ivanovich!

Please, excuse me.

What about the "industrialization"?

Any progress?

Thanks God, I have the beginning!

"Hindus"..."three"..."Ali"... Still struggling

with the "sation", damn it!

Do not serve extra plates, Zosya

Viktorovna. There's nobody but me.

- Beginning today I'm your only patron.

- Really! Why?

Bomze is on vacation

and Podvysotsky was fired...

...so that from worry

he had lost his appetite.

I hope it's not for long, isn't it?

I forgot to tell you, Zosya - things are not good.

- Your scholarship is our only hope.

- C'mon, greybeard. We'll survive somehow.

I'm rushing to "The Youth News".

May be I can earn something there.

Oh! My puzzle.

Yes, that's the way it goes,

Zosya Viktorovna.

Have you heard the news?

They rescued pilot Sevriugov.

He is a native of Chernomorsk, they say.

That's how I live -- in loneliness --

without knowing pleasures.

What's that? Not knowing what?

Without knowing a woman's attachment.

I'd like to tell you...

Just to show how it happens in life...

There is a man whom I know, an old man...

Not exactly old but no longer young...

And not exactly no longer young, but...

...simply time flies, the years pass.

And all this, in his words,

inspires him with certain thoughts.

About matrimony, for instance.

He is an utterly harmless man.

He could even be loved.

He is not a fop like others,..

...and he doesn't like

to cast his words to the wind.

Honestly and sincerely...

Why shouldn't some girl marry him?

Do you really think that pilot Sevriugov

was born in Chernomorsk?

Time really does go horribly fast.

Not so long ago I was 19,..

...but now I'm already 20...

...and in another year I'll be 21...

What a coincidence! A friend just told me

that one man proposed to her.

She said that he was a good

and very kind man.

But precisely at this time,

she is seeking something --

-- what, she does not yet know herself.

Generally speaking, for the present

she cannot marry this man.

Besides, what sort of life

would they have together?

She is a seeker,..

...while he, if one is to speak honestly,

has only 46 rubles a month. And his age...

Am I right?

All in all, she does not love him yet.

This is also important, isn't it?

- We'll still be friends, won't we?

- It would be better if you would marry me.

They're holding up the pay.

We get our pay very irregularly.

We even complained to the trade union.

I want to go to a cinema.

Could we, Alexander Ivanovich?

- I didn't know that you smoke?

- No, I quit. Going to quit...

Zosya!

I have two passes to a cinema.

Decide immediately.

I'll go, OK?

Gimme million, gimme million!

What? What's the matter.

Let him gimme million.

He has many millions.

Gimme million, just one million!

Go away!

- One, just one million!

- Get lost!

- Gimme million and I'll go away.

- Get lost, I said!

You have many tiny millions!

Gimme one tiny million!

Ha has many millions and I have none.

I beg him for one million.

I follow him for half an hour already.

I need one million!

Comrade Koreiko!

[LOAD ORANGES BARRELS BROTHERS KARAMAZOV]

Could you help us, how much is 47 306 by 251?

No, I don't know. May be... initially...

What happened. You don't feel well?

No, it's simply... I'll be fine, fine.

I'll personally hand this to comrade Koreiko.

You have a registered mail package.

You have wonderful relatives.

Telegrams, packages - every day!

A postman brought this

shortly after you left for work.

"Capitalist Sharks"

Biographies of American Millionaires

Most important of all is to create confusion

in the camp of the enemy.

He must lose all peace of mind.

In the final analysis, it is the incomprehensible
