- i'd like to meet her.- she'll be in later. i had this realcool teacher. she was stacked.an interesting lady. one day she was showinga science film to our physics class. i was in the last row. she sat down beside me.it was dark. i got excited - and moved closer. she acted like she didn't notice.and what happened?
when i put my armaround her, she said: "see me after class, miroshnikov."that's my name. i did. she was in the lab.her breasts were heaving. she said, miroshnikov, my dear boy.and she fell into my arms. can you imagine? i had a crush on a teacher, too. he was very handsome.he taught russian literature… what happened?
i wrote him a letter, but henever answered it. i'm a girl. i couldn'tthrow myself at him. of course.so what do you do? i'm a freshman at the university. i could've been, too. i scored 100 at the entrance exam, but decided i'd get somework experience first. join the army… i didn't want to go to school,either, but my parents- my parents never interfere.
i'll comefor the manuscript tomorrow. i don't think i'll saygoodbye to your father. good idea. you kind ofgot him riled up. bye. listen to this, ivan- thy glass will show theehow thy beauties wear, they dial how thy preciousminutes waste; the vacant leavesthy mind's imprint will be and of this book this learningmayst thou taste. the wrinkles which thy glasswill truly show
of mouthed graveswill give thee memory- - did pushkin write that?- no, shakespeare did. once, prof. rosenfeld said: "this is your third attemptto get into acting school. "each time you do tragedy, but "you've a real talentfor comedy." did you want to be an actress? yes, but your father said: "don't knock at a locked door."
i was in love with him. we had an office party today. they asked me to recite something. i didn't want to,but i pulled myself together. i recite "they are beating a woman…".it's by voznesensky. at first, there was silence.then, can you believe it, an ovation and flowers. everyone congratulated me. men offered to take me home.
a colonel even invited meout to dinner. but i came home alone. the earth is visible belowthrough the round porthole. we miss it as a sonwill miss his mother, for it's our oneand only one. and all the same,the stars are cold, though they are near us. and just as inthe darkest hours, we wait for light and dreamour earthly dreams.
we dream notof the launching pad, nor of this light-bluestillness, but of the grassaround our house. of all the green,green grass. are you crying? no. go on back to bed. what'd you do at kuznetsov's? why? he called this morning andsaid not to send you again.
- i said there's nobody else.- what'd he say? he said, it was too bad our fineorganization hired such punks. - what'd you say?- i said, "he's just a cog in the wheel." you look like a corpse. what'd you do there? his daughter fell in lovewith me. now he's scared. you're a fast operator. and smart. kuznetsov'san important man. why're you sitting around?
go pick up the photographs. then get the msfrom kuznetsov. it's stuffy in here. open the window, ivan. way to go, clutz! should i open it? never mind. are you okay? what d'you think? the paperpunch landed on my head. who put it up there?
i've been looking for itfor 3 weeks. being brained by this - it could draw blood. yeah, if it fell from high up. - it could even kill you.- i doubt it. if it hit you full-force? let me see it. sure, if it were full-force,it could kill you. hello, oleg. what was that crash?
our messenger fell offthe windowsill. imagine, the paper punchlanded on his head. no, yours is small. but oursis an office-size punch. not a scratch. okay, i'll be right down. go get those photos, ivan, andthen go by kuznetsov's. i've come for the manuscript. come in. you're just in time.we're having dinner. i won't let you go withouteating.
hello. pull up a chair. serve our guest, katya. this calls for wine. is today a holiday? you now have the honorof meeting a typical representativeof today's youth. a mix of nihilism and impudence. he's a fascinating specimen.

- why're you ribbing him?- it's a matter of principle! our generation wants to know what we lived and fought for. who will take overthe edifice we erected? why should that trouble you? i'd like to know, young man, by what principles you intendto exist in society? i'd like to have good pay,a car, an apartment in the center of town,a dacha -
and a cushy job. true, earthly possessionsare necessary. there's nothing wrong in that. but you don't get themfor nothing. one must work hard,acquire knowledge - then you'll have earnedthat flashy car. sounds pretty grim. i guessi'll do without the car. right. it's the only way. not at all. if i seduce yourdaughter and marry her,
i'll have it made. you have connections and money.you don't want to make your only daughter's life unhappy.you'll find me a cushy job and buy us a condo.right, agnes... ivanovna? a condo! did you hear that? out! get out!senya, senya, calm down! get out, you punk! wait, ivan! you were great. he'll complain to the office.

sometimes i can'tunderstand you, though. what the hell's going on!and in broad daylight! making out in public! -you bastard!-what? - wait, katya! i hate you! this is all your fault.don't you dare follow me. there's a letterand gifts from your father. it looks good on you. "it's hellishly hot here.i was in the savannah
"and saw the masai hunting."-who? -the masai. "the chieftain gave me a spear. "he's really powerful.a real hercules and smart. "i'll be home on vacation soon. "regards to mother.write me. papa." i take it this is thespear in question. he always liked toys. they sparked his imagination. why'd you do that?
ivan? i thought it was stepanov. hello, hero. we weren'texpecting you. i want to apologize, sir, ma'am,and to katya for what i did. relax... katya told us all about it. let bygones be bygones. katya, a cavelier'scome calling for you, excuse me, excuse me!i'd like you to meet ivan. he's the most original of allof my daughter's friends. is this the one you told us about?
the very one! he recently saidhe wrote poetry and recited a poem by pushkin. imagine, i nearly fell for itlike a first-grader at a magic show. that was stupid of me. young people today are an enigma. the most enigmatic of enigmas! but,we must communicate with them. -oh, you communicate alright,but it's all work, work, work! i repent, i repent!... that's why i ended upgetting messed up. -eat, eat, vanya, don't be shy.the day's fast approachingwhen we'll cease
understanding our own children. you're complicating things. they're just spoiled.their life has been too easy. it's trite, but true. my father whipped meuntil i was 17. for all the good it did. take my son, for instance. he's a good boy, a sportsman. it's hard to find fault with him.
but he loves to drink milkout of the can! it's those yellow cansof evaporated milk. i ask himwhy he drinks it undiluted. he says, "i like it." it's the same old song: we had it hard, so whyshouldn't they? that's just stupid. today's youth is heroic. i watch tv and know our youth. but he goes on drinking itfrom the can!
why does it upset you so much? to hell with the milk!i want to understand him! why does a big, burly fellow punch a hole in a can and - when i talk to him,he won't answer. he listens, says nothing andstarts sucking another can! he doesn't want to study,he's sloppy about his job. i thought he wanted to becomethe judo champ. but no. "why spend so much timeworking out, then?" i said.
"why all those biceps, triceps…""what for?" so he picked up the empty canand... scrunch. "you can't do that," he said.tell me, why would he say that? calm down. you're exaggerating.i know your son, he's a good kid.you're just too strict with him. i want to know what he wants! i want to know what i fathered!don't i have that right? don't i? if he said: "you're an ass.your entire life was messed up." i'd understand. but he acceptsthe good things and is silent! he's at a difficult age. our sonnever said a thing. now he's in grad school.
he'll outgrow it.isn't that so, ivan? yes. we'll sow our wild oatsand be just like you. why just like us? be even better than us.keep pressing on. we'll press on. "friends, this is just like work: talk and more talk." i hope you'll excusemy fatherly pride if i ask my daughterto sing for us. lovely!yes, do! sing "the nightingale"for us, katya. she sings it great! i don't feel like singing.
- why not?- i just don't! i'll sing it. can you sing? i was in the school glee club. nightingale,my nightingale, sweet-voiced nightingale. whither are you winging? where shall yousing the night away? fly away,my nightingale,
far, far away -sing "electric train" next! wait, wait. forget "electric train."can you tell me what you want out of life? what you wish for?enough, oleg, enough! wait, wait! let him answer me.- i'll tell you what i wish for. i want to be irresistible. i want to drive a fast sports car,wearing a long red scarf, to drive men wild.and have a stereo and a lap dog. that's what i want. - why, katya -- i will sing for you, after all.
- some other time, perhaps?- you wanted me to. there once was a goat,not a snake, not a stoat - stop it! don't come to see me. and don't call. it's all right, katya. it's all right. our company's gone.let's go home. i can't, papa.i just can't. everything will be all right.
it'll be all right. come on, it's late.let's go home. why're you wearing a coat?are you cold? d'you have a wish, bazin? what d'you wish for? - i wish i had a coat.- is that all? winter's almost here,and i don't have a coat. i wore a jacket last yearand always caught cold. can't your folks buy you a coat?
my dad's has to pay alimony.mom won't give me a kopeck. she says i don't need money. she's sick in the head.what can you do? stand up. -why?-stand up, i say. it's all yours. wear it in good health.-have you gone crazy? -i'll be called up soon anyway. wear it and wishfor something great. written byalexander borodyansky directed bykaren shakhnazarov director of photographynikolai nemolyayev
