genuine? Or is he not that serious?

I told you everything I could.

Now go.

Natasha. How did you find me?

- Hi.

- Hi.

Where are we going?

Come on, Petya!

- I won't tell you.

- Why?

- Because it's a secret.

- A secret from me?

- Petya.

- No, it's a secret from me, for you.

- Come on, tell me!

- Nope.

- Petya! Please!

- Let's go. You'll see it soon.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

Living in this world is so scary.

But it is here and now

that we will get rid of our fears.

Let us start yet another lecture,

"Self-help is the best help."

And now I need a guide.

Any volunteers?

Come here! Let's welcome the lady!

Don't be afraid!

Let us raise our hands.

Higher!

Sit up straight.

And now repeat after me.

- I am holding the Universe...

- I am holding the Universe... Say it.

- ...in my hands.

- ...in my hands.

Good. Louder!

- I am holding the Universe in my hands.

- Good! One more time!

I am holding the Universe in my hands.

Well done! Even louder!

I am holding the Universe in my hands.

Yes! Yes!

I can see this thread now.

Like a titanic sword,

it pierces this cloud

of the negative energy

which we accumulated inside.

Can you feel it?

It pierces the cloud!

I am holding the Universe in my hands!

I am holding the Universe in my hands.

Louder! I am holding

the Universe in my hands.

I am holding the Universe in my hands.

- You, guys.

- I am holding...

I have to ask you to leave.

You're disrupting the lecture.

- Why?

- You're drinking wine.

- Please, leave immediately.

- Sorry.

- It is outrageous.

- We're sorry.

I am holding the Universe...

Louder! ...in my hands.

Louder! I am holding the Universe

in my hands. Once again!

Now, this is not the main entrance.

It's a fire escape

in case of emergencies.

Now wait...

Where was it? Just a moment.

- What are you looking for?

- It's locked. There's a... There's a...

- We can't get in here.

- We can. There's a secret entry point.

- Honestly.

- For seasonal ticket holders?

- Let me help you.

- No, wait. I'm almost done.

- Do they always keep the sign on?

- Yeah...

- Follow me!

- Cool!

- You OK?

- Yeah.

But this gate is locked.

We'll have to...

- Go back?

- No way!

- The girls climb here...

- Let me help you.

- Help me up!

- Come on!

I am holding the Universe in my hands.

- Don't make me laugh!

- No, climb over!

- See this big cage?

- It's huge!

This one is for birds.

- See him?

- That's a vulture.

- A vulture?

- Yes.

- Do you know them?

- Wait, they are...

Birds of prey.

They...

- They eat all the sh*t.

- Yeah, yeah.

- Look there.

- You can see it well. He's sad.

- Is he hungry?

- He ate some carrion.

- And he feels bad about it.

- Really?

Wow.

- Is that a zebra?

- Yeah.

- A real one?

- Come here.

I'll introduce you to someone.

- Hello, hello.

- Can you touch them?

- But they know me.

- That's right.

- Can I touch them, too?

- Just be careful. They can bite you.

Hello.

No, no. I just want to pet you.

- OK. Bye!

- It's beautiful. Bye!

And here are the dwarf rabbits.

- Dwarf rabbits?

- Yeah.

- Are they fairy-tale creatures?

- They're very small.

- I see. Hey!

- Hush! The little ones are asleep.

- Sorry. Look, those two are awake!

- They're the parents.

The daddy rabbit is shocked!

Did you see his ear?

He had one ear down

and the other one up.

Can you see the cat? Come here.

- Now that's a cat.

- You can see it from here.

- Is it alone there?

- No, there's another one.

The cage is big. The other one

is in some far-off corner.

Both are males? Are they together?

- See how big the cage is?

- It's really big.

- They want it spacious.

- Good for them.

And here we've got a lion

and a lioness.

- See?

- Cool.

- Yeah. See them?

- Yeah.

She's on night patrol

to give the lion some sleep.

But he isn't asleep.

- He's taking a rest.

- Right.

This is a good place to observe them.

See?

They're watching us, too!

Both are looking at us.

And whose cage is this?

There's no one here.

They are preparing it for some animals.

And we've got chimps here.

Well, if there's no one here...

- I'm gonna live in this one!

- Where are you going?

All right.

It's a good one.

I'm gonna have my office here.

And a rocking chair.

I like high ceilings,

lots of light, and a balcony.

French windows. Two chairs.

This is... This is my hammock.

My hammock.

- The hammock's not that good.

- Don't hit the chair.

Careful, careful!

It just happened all of a sudden.

It sure did.

You're so special.

Yes, very special.

- Where are you going?

- It's late. I have to go home.

Mum?

Mum...

- Mum, what are you doing?

- I went to the church.

I talked to Father Andrew.

He said I need protection.

What protection?

From the tailed one. This witch of ours.

What are talking about?

She takes people away and brings

diseases to the neighbourhood.

I will scare her away.

She won't come to visit us.

I'm tired. I need a break.

Let's go and have some dinner.

Mum...

I'm scared, Mum.

Can you hug me?

Mummy, can you hug me, please?

Can you cuddle me? I'm so tired.

I can't take it anymore. Please.

Mummy.

Can you cuddle me?

Please. My dear Mummy, please.

You're drunk.

Go and sleep it off.
