00:00:22 THE LITTLE GOLDEN CALF
00:00:30 It was long ago...
00:00:32 Very long ago...
00:00:34 Very...
00:02:39 No, this is not Rio de Janeiro.
00:02:43 This is much worse.
00:03:05 Look up and down

00:04:48 Out of pants.
00:05:25 Poor Yorick!
00:05:26 Citizen! It is forbidden to touch anything here!
00:05:35 - By the way, what's the name of this city?
00:05:48 Arbatov! Now I see.
00:05:53 No, This is not Rio de Janeiro.
00:06:00 Whom do you want, comrade?
00:06:02 Private.
00:06:05 Hello!
00:06:09 Hi!
00:06:11 Hi, don't you recognize me?
00:06:15 No, I don't.
00:06:17 And yet many people think that I am
00:06:21 I also resemble my farther.
00:06:25 The whole point is in the father.
00:06:30 I am the son of Lieutenant Schmidt.
00:06:35 Don't you remember?
00:06:38 Yes, yes. Very glad you dropped in,
00:06:47 We get lost in work.
00:06:52 - I suppose you're from Moscow?
00:06:57 Our churches are remarkable.
00:07:04 Tell me, and do you yourself remember
00:07:10 Dimly.
00:07:12 In those heroic times I was
00:07:18 - Excuse me, but what is your name?
00:07:26 And... your patronymic?
00:07:33 Nowadays many people don't know
00:07:38 The pernicious NEP!
00:07:40 The old enthusiasm is lacking.
00:07:47 I came to your city quite by accident,..
00:07:50 ...got into difficulties on the way,
00:07:53 Don't worry, comrade Schmidt.
00:07:57 You did very well not to have gone
00:08:02 I need only 50 rubles.
00:08:04 We are limited by the narrow frames
00:08:09 That's all I can give.
00:08:25 Who's in charge here?
00:08:31 Everyone's waiting.
00:08:40 Everyone's waiting.
00:08:43 Come in, comrade.
00:08:47 Calm down, comrades!
00:08:52 Son of the hero of the revolution,
00:09:01 But the comrade sitting there,..
00:09:04 ...is the son of the great, unforgettable hero
00:09:14 It happens.
00:09:17 It doesn't look good...
00:09:22 Vasya!
00:09:29 Vasia! Don't you recognize me?
00:09:38 Shut up! Don't you recognize your brother Nick?
00:09:44 Of course I recognize my brother Nick!
00:09:51 Nick! I recognize him.
00:09:53 You're so grown up!
00:09:59 Ochakov! Ochakov!
00:10:01 When did you come from Mariupol?
00:10:05 Yes, I lived there - at her.
00:10:09 Why did you write me so rarely?
00:10:12 - I was busy. And why didn't you write?
00:10:16 I sent you registered letters.
00:10:20 I have piles of receipts.
00:10:30 By the way, speaking of childhood.
00:10:32 When I was a child I used to kill guys like you
00:10:36 - Why? - Such are the implacable laws of life.
00:10:43 What made you come to the private office?
00:10:47 - I thought...
00:10:50 What is your name, Thinker?
00:10:53 Jean Jacques Rousseau?
00:11:00 Well, I forgive you. You may live.
00:11:05 We're brothers, and kinship has its obligations.
00:11:09 - Permit me to learn your original surname.
00:11:14 I'm not asking about your profession,
00:11:17 I'm sure it must be something intellectual.
00:11:19 - Have you been tried many times this year?
00:11:22 No man should come to trial.
00:11:27 I'm sure your mother made you familiar
00:11:32 It is moreover an aimless waste
00:11:36 Look, do you see that man in a straw hat?
00:11:41 I see. What of it?
00:11:45 - That is Panikovsky, a son of Lieutenant Schmidt.
00:11:51 This is getting funny.
00:12:05 Lieutenant Schmidt had three sons.
00:12:18 - He must be warned.
00:12:34 Have you ever seen a bull fight in Spain?
00:12:38 Come, let's watch.
00:13:03 - General retreat.
00:13:09 Hats off! Bare your head.
00:13:17 The body of the deceased
00:13:24 O, my God! First came out the widow.
00:13:26 After a short civil ceremony...
00:13:30 ...the body of the deceased...
00:13:35 ...was interred!
00:13:53 What a sod! There were 69 of us,
00:13:57 We divided the whole country into districts,
00:14:02 He got Mordovia.
00:14:06 He's trespassing my district for a long time,
00:14:13 So then Balaganov, you are a fop.
00:14:16 Yes, a fop. Don't be offended.
00:14:19 ...that you occupy under the sun.
00:14:20 - Go to the devil!
00:14:23 - Are you member?
00:14:25 I'm a member of the Trade Union of Proletarians
00:14:31 But you yourself are a son of Lieutenant Schmidt!
00:14:34 You are a fop. And the son of a fop.
00:14:39 Don't be a child! What occurred
00:14:44 A gentlemen in search of a ten-spot.
00:14:47 And what sort of a profession it is.
00:14:51 I'll grant you one year, All right two!
00:14:53 Then your auburn locks will be noticed
00:14:57 What am I to do then?
00:15:01 You must think.
00:15:05 Hey, let's ride!
00:15:12 Fare is reduced by 10-12%
00:15:22 Bear in mind that for every vitamin you receive
00:15:30 I see that you are in love with money
00:15:32 Tell me, what sum would appeal to you?
00:15:35 - Five thousand.
00:15:38 A year.
00:15:41 In that case, our ways part right here.
00:15:43 I need 500 thousand, and, if possible,
00:15:47 Wouldn't you take it in installments?
00:15:57 I shouldn't mind taking it in installments,..
00:15:59 ...but I need it all immediately.
00:16:05 Why do you need so much money?
00:16:08 As a matter of fact, I need more.
00:16:11 I want to go away, Comrade Shura,..
00:16:14 ...very far away,..
00:16:16 ...to Rio de Janeiro.
00:16:21 Have you relatives there?
00:16:25 Why? Do I look like a man
00:16:30 I have no kinsmen,
00:16:36 I had a father once who was a Turkish subject,
00:16:42 Ever since I was a child
00:16:45 I see.
00:16:46 You, of course, are not aware
00:16:49 This is a clipping from Soviet Encyclopedia.
00:16:53 See what it says here about Rio de Janeiro.
00:16:56 Population 1 360 000
00:17:01 ...in the wealth of stores
00:17:05 ...its main streets rival
00:17:08 Can you imagine that, Shura?
00:17:11 Mulattoes, millionaires, export coffee!
00:17:15 A Charleston entitled 'My Girl Has A Little Thing'...
00:17:19 But what's the use of talking?
00:17:23 One and a half million people,
00:17:28 - But where will you get 500 thousand?
00:17:31 Wherever you like.
00:17:32 Show me a rich man
00:17:37 What!
00:17:43 Murder?
00:17:49 Do you know, Shura,
00:17:52 Note this: Ostap Bender never killed anyone.
00:17:57 He has been killed. That happened.
00:18:02 I'm no cherub, of course.
00:18:04 But I respect the Criminal Code.
00:18:07 But how do you propose
00:18:09 That's not the point.
00:18:12 I personally have 400 comparatively
00:18:15 The point is that nowadays rich people
00:18:18 And yet they exist!
00:18:22 As long as any type of coinage
00:18:24 ...then there must be people
00:18:27 There are very wealthy people.
00:18:29 But do you know them?
00:18:31 Can you give me the name and address
00:18:36 Even the Commissariat of Finance
00:18:41 ...cannot find a Soviet millionaire.
00:18:45 And yet the millionaire may be sitting
00:18:49 That is what hurts!
00:18:53 I know such a millionaire.
00:18:56 Word of honor, Monsieur Bender...
00:19:00 Go on, go on.
00:19:02 I apply only on Saturdays.
00:19:07 Listen, Shura, if you have definitely decided
00:19:10 ...don't call me monsieur but citoyen,
00:19:13 By the way, what is your millionaire's address?
00:19:16 He lives in Chernomorsk.
00:19:18 Why, of course, just as I thought.
00:19:21 There even in pre-revolution days they...
00:19:24 ...called a man with 10 thousand a millionaire.
00:19:28 No, that's nonsense!
00:19:29 But no, let me tell you.
00:19:33 This is a genuine millionaire.
00:19:37 Not long ago...
00:19:39 I had the occasion to spend some time
00:19:45 What did you say was the name
00:19:47 - Koreiko.
00:19:50 Have I any gray hair?
00:19:52 - No, sir! - There will be!
00:19:55 You, too, will become gray, Balaganov!
00:19:57 Why? How did you put it --...
00:19:59 ...he'll bring it himself
00:20:01 For me on a little saucer.
00:20:03 But how about Rio de Janeiro?
00:20:07 Rio de Janeiro is the delicate dream
00:20:09 Don't you touch it with your dirty paws.
00:20:11 Now, back to bosoms,
00:20:14 The troops must arrive in Chernomorsk.
00:20:16 Service uniforms.
00:20:18 Bugle 'advance'!
00:20:20 I will command the parade!
00:20:24 "We're born to build reality from fair tale,
00:20:46 You're listening to 'Comintern Radio'
00:20:53 Here is the latest news
00:20:56 An airplane 'Wings of the Soviets'
00:20:59 ...Moscow-Berlin-Paris-Rome-
00:21:12 ...'College of Northern Peoples' is reorganized
00:21:20 ...the first in the world...
00:21:27 Twins of domestic leather haberdashery!
00:21:39 ...the first all-union convention
00:21:53 ...French Prime-minister Poincare has resigned...
00:22:30 An original construction.
00:22:34 Hi, how are you!
00:22:35 Do you see, what can be made
00:22:38 A slight adaptation -- and you would have
00:22:45 Go away!
00:22:46 What do you mean 'Go away'?
00:22:48 Why then did you brand your threshing machine
00:22:53 My friend and I desire to make a business journey.
00:22:59 - Citizen-gentleman, please!
00:23:04 You cannot go far in this carriage of the past.
00:23:07 If you please. Where may I take you?
00:23:09 This time, nowhere. There is no money.
00:23:12 Can't do anything about it. Sheer poverty.
00:23:15 Never mind, get in!
00:23:18 Why such sacrifices?
00:23:20 Promise only not to drink vodka,
00:23:24 What makes you think that
00:23:26 - Get in! Hey, let's ride!
00:23:35 - Where?
00:23:37 Where?!
00:23:39 Merely 1000 km southward.
00:23:45 In Chernomorsk antiques are appreciated
00:23:48 While in Arbatov you have nothing to lose
00:23:52 You'll not go hungry on the road;
00:23:55 In a word - the gasoline is yours,
00:24:31 Participants of the auto race have been greeted
00:24:37 What auto race?
00:24:40 You should read newspapers, Shura.
00:24:43 Sometimes they reveal that
00:24:46 We are located in the line of auto race
00:24:50 For a period of time we'll be
00:24:54 That's Panikovsky running! Panikovsky!
00:25:25 - Stop! Stop!
00:25:29 - Save me! - God will help you.
00:25:33 Don't. He'll know better next time
00:25:36 Take me! I'll be good!
00:25:40 - Drop that bird! - I can't do it!
00:25:57 - Adam! What do you call your wagon?
00:26:00 That's a hell of a rotten name!
00:26:02 An automobile, like a battleship,
00:26:06 Your Lauren-Dietrich is distinguished
00:26:09 ...and a noble beauty of line.
00:26:11 Therefore I propose that we give
00:26:15 Any objections? Unanimous!
00:26:18 The session continues.
00:27:09 - Greetings!
00:27:30 Comrade Koreiko, how much is 836 by 423?
00:27:40 353,628
00:27:46 Phenomenon!
00:27:47 Another man in his place
00:27:50 but he is just an idiot.
00:27:52 He'll sit here the rest of his life
00:27:59 A church with a village to the starboard, sir!
00:28:03 For 5 minutes. Behind us are first-class machines.
00:28:08 - How about the gasoline?
00:28:10 - Shall we respond to greetings?
00:28:15 I forbid you to open your mouths.
00:28:21 The Udoyevites themselves
00:28:39 The sweet burden of fame...
00:28:45 Greetings to participants of the auto race!
00:28:48 - Out of gasoline.
00:28:52 Our agenda includes rally,
00:28:57 Could we switch it?
00:29:00 People arrived already.
00:29:03 Let's cancel lunch, then.
00:29:04 We'll take the lunch packed.
00:29:07 Also, give them a barrel of aviation gasoline.
00:29:10 The rally has to be very short.
00:29:14 - How are the other machines?
00:29:17 ...the enthusiasm of the population --
00:29:19 Are you in the commander's car?
00:29:22 I took Kleptunov out of the race.
00:29:24 And Professor Pessochnikov --
00:29:28 And the woman writer -- Vera Cruz?
00:29:31 - And Nezhinsky. Is he also with you?
00:29:37 - Are you in the Studebaker?
00:29:41 ...but until now it has been called
00:29:44 But there are no Lauren-Dietrichs in the race.
00:29:48 I read about two Packards, two Fiats
00:29:54 Go to devil's mother with your Studebaker!
00:29:56 Who is this Studebaker?
00:29:59 Is Stidebaker your father?
00:30:00 Why do you annoy a fellow like this?
00:30:03 ...that at the last moment a Lauren-Dietrich
00:30:06 ...and still he bothers me!
00:30:08 Experts! Such experts should be shot!
00:30:30 I rejoice in the opportunity...
00:30:32 ...to violate the patriarchal peace
00:30:35 ...with an automobile siren.
00:30:38 The automobile, comrades, is not a luxury
00:30:44 The automobile is vehicle of internal combustion!
00:30:51 The automobile is also vehicle of the culture!
00:30:57 We must work for the uninterrupted production
00:31:01 The iron steed comes to take the place
00:31:07 Use automobile, comrades. Everybody!
00:31:12 Let's race against aimlessness, slovenliness...
00:31:17 ...and bureaucracy!
00:31:21 After a bite to eat
00:31:25 Purchase auto club lottery tickets!
00:31:30 Improve the roads!
00:31:41 City of Gryazhsk
00:31:42 Welcome!
00:31:43 Hip, hip, hurrah!
00:31:44 The iron horse!..
00:31:45 Thanks!..
00:31:49 City of Novozaytsev
00:31:50 Brave motorists!
00:31:51 Hurrah!
00:31:51 Join auto club!
00:31:52 Thanks!
00:32:01 City of B.Pogost
00:32:01 Welcome!
00:32:02 Hurrah!
00:32:03 Thanks!
00:32:10 City of Luchansk
00:32:16 Comrades! I believe in automotive future
00:32:24 In a short while ...
00:32:27 ...one of every three--
00:32:32 ...become a motorist.
00:32:34 Straight like an arrow
00:32:42 I recall an old French joke...
00:32:45 Remove the photographer!
00:32:50 Comrades, I'll respond to your questions later.
00:32:55 A Frenchman returns home from a business trip
00:32:59 ...finds his young wife...
00:33:04 Join auto club, comrades!
00:33:11 These are crooks! At them, boys!
00:33:20 Stop! When I catch up with you
00:33:23 Stop! Can't you see that we've lost our chief?
00:34:17 Mommy!
00:34:18 Faster, Adam!
00:34:21 Full speed ahead!
00:34:35 Help!
00:35:00 I'm coming, greybeard. I'm coming.
00:35:12 "She is coming"! Did you hear it, Alexander
00:35:18 A man is late and "she is coming".
00:35:21 Here is the main course and then I have to run.
00:35:25 They are awaiting me in "The Youth News".
00:35:31 This puzzle is tough to solve.
00:35:39 What the hell is "sation"?
00:35:43 A challenge, indeed... Especially the goat.
00:35:54 How are you, Alexander Ivanovich!
00:35:59 What about the "industrialization"?
00:36:02 Thanks God, I have the beginning!
00:36:04 "Hindus"..."three"..."Ali"... Still struggling
00:36:15 Do not serve extra plates, Zosya
00:36:20 - Beginning today I'm your only patron.
00:36:24 Bomze is on vacation
00:36:27 ...so that from worry
00:36:30 I hope it's not for long, isn't it?
00:36:32 I forgot to tell you, Zosya - things are not good.
00:36:36 - Your scholarship is our only hope.
00:36:42 I'm rushing to "The Youth News".
00:36:48 Oh! My puzzle.
00:36:55 Yes, that's the way it goes,
00:37:01 Have you heard the news?
00:37:05 He is a native of Chernomorsk, they say.
00:37:14 That's how I live -- in loneliness --
00:37:22 What's that? Not knowing what?
00:37:25 Without knowing a woman's attachment.
00:37:31 I'd like to tell you...
00:37:37 Just to show how it happens in life...
00:37:40 There is a man whom I know, an old man...
00:37:43 Not exactly old but no longer young...
00:37:45 And not exactly no longer young, but...
00:37:49 ...simply time flies, the years pass.
00:37:56 And all this, in his words,
00:38:00 About matrimony, for instance.
00:38:03 He is an utterly harmless man.
00:38:10 He could even be loved.
00:38:13 He is not a fop like others,..
00:38:17 ...and he doesn't like
00:38:19 Honestly and sincerely...
00:38:22 Why shouldn't some girl marry him?
00:38:28 Do you really think that pilot Sevriugov
00:38:35 Time really does go horribly fast.
00:38:38 Not so long ago I was 19,..
00:38:40 ...but now I'm already 20...
00:38:42 ...and in another year I'll be 21...
00:38:46 What a coincidence! A friend just told me
00:38:54 She said that he was a good
00:38:59 But precisely at this time,
00:39:03 -- what, she does not yet know herself.
00:39:06 Generally speaking, for the present
00:39:12 Besides, what sort of life
00:39:15 She is a seeker,..
00:39:16 ...while he, if one is to speak honestly,
00:39:21 Am I right?
00:39:27 All in all, she does not love him yet.
00:39:34 - We'll still be friends, won't we?
00:39:46 They're holding up the pay.
00:39:50 We even complained to the trade union.
00:39:53 I want to go to a cinema.
00:40:01 - I didn't know that you smoke?
00:40:07 Zosya!
00:40:09 I have two passes to a cinema.
00:40:14 I'll go, OK?
00:41:50 Gimme million, gimme million!
00:41:52 What? What's the matter.
00:42:00 Let him gimme million.
00:42:03 Gimme million, just one million!
00:42:05 Go away!
00:42:10 - One, just one million!
00:42:12 - Gimme million and I'll go away.
00:42:16 You have many tiny millions!
00:42:20 Ha has many millions and I have none.
00:42:23 I follow him for half an hour already.
00:42:52 Comrade Koreiko!
00:42:54 [LOAD ORANGES BARRELS BROTHERS KARAMAZOV]
00:42:59 Could you help us, how much is 47 306 by 251?
00:43:05 No, I don't know. May be... initially...
00:43:08 What happened. You don't feel well?
00:43:14 No, it's simply... I'll be fine, fine.
00:43:20 I'll personally hand this to comrade Koreiko.
00:43:26 You have wonderful relatives.
00:43:33 A postman brought this
00:43:49 "Capitalist Sharks"
00:43:56 Most important of all is to create confusion
00:44:00 He must lose all peace of mind.
00:44:08 In the final analysis, it is the incomprehensible
00:44:15 I am convinced that my last telegram,
00:44:19 ...produced a disastrous impression
00:44:24 The defendant must be educated to the idea
00:44:27 He must be morally disarmed.
00:44:29 His reactionary instinct for private property
00:44:36 Assistant Panikovsky!
00:44:38 You were told to meet the defendant to-day...
00:44:43 ...and again ask him for a million,
00:44:47 - As soon as he saw me, he crossed the street.
00:44:52 The defendant is becoming nervous
00:44:57 He is now passing from stupid perplexity
00:45:01 - Don't make a cult from eating!
00:45:04 He jumps up in the middle of the night
00:45:08 Just a little more, the final brush-stroke,
00:45:14 He will creep tearfully to the sideboard...
00:45:17 ...and take out a little plate with a blue what?
00:45:22 -Border.
00:45:41 Enough gaiety!
00:45:45 The little plate of money is still
00:45:48 ...if it exists at all -- this magic little plate!
00:45:50 It exists, Commander!
00:45:53 We may consider the preparatory work finished.
00:45:58 Presently we shall go and touch an udder
00:46:04 The udder will be touched by you, Shura
00:46:08 Great blind man
00:46:12 Kefir is very good for the heart.
00:46:23 Believe me, Shura. Mere theft.
00:46:28 Mere robbery.
00:46:29 - Mere theft.
00:46:32 - You are a pathetic nonentity.
00:46:36 - Who's the chief?
00:46:41 You?
00:46:42 Yes, I.
00:46:43 You?
00:46:45 And who else could it be?
00:46:49 - And who do you think you are?
00:46:59 Did you see it? Everybody saw it!
00:47:08 Citizen, this is a dairy cafeteria,
00:47:11 What will I do to him! You'll see a sea of blood!
00:47:16 - Now watch what I...
00:47:20 Sit down! Watch your manners, Shura?
00:47:25 You convinced me. You are the chief,
00:47:32 - Why not rob him? Is it so difficult?
00:47:37 Koreiko walks in the street at night...
00:47:41 I come up on his left hand,
00:47:44 It's dark, very dark!
00:47:45 I push him from the left,
00:47:49 The fool stops and says: "Bully!" to me.
00:47:53 "Who's a bully?" I ask.
00:47:57 Here I swing at his jaw...
00:48:02 No, we can't beat him!
00:48:05 That's just the point --
00:48:10 Bender doesn't permit it.
00:48:12 I know it... Bender, Bender!
00:48:20 OK, go to Kiev and that's it.
00:48:23 Why?
00:48:24 Go to Kiev...
00:48:27 ...and that's it.
00:48:28 What do you mean -- Kiev?
00:48:29 Go to Kiev and ask what Panikovsky was
00:48:32 I insist upon your asking...
00:48:39 ...and they will tell you that before the Revolution
00:48:45 If it were not for the Revolution,...
00:48:48 ...would I ever descend
00:48:56 Why, I was a wealthy man!
00:49:01 ...nickel-plated samovar on my table.
00:49:04 - And how did I make my living, you'll ask?
00:49:08 Blue glasses and a little stick -
00:49:13 Why did you quit this business?
00:49:16 The Revolution!
00:49:17 Prior to it I used to pay the policeman
00:49:25 ...and no one touched me.
00:49:26 The policeman even saw to it
00:49:30 He was a fine man!
00:49:35 Such a crystal soul.
00:49:36 I met him the other day.
00:49:39 But nowadays
00:49:42 The police! I know them better then you.
00:49:50 I hate them!
00:49:55 Oh, how I hate them.
00:49:57 And so in my old age,
00:50:06 Take my hand, Shura. Take it!
00:50:10 For this special business...
00:50:13 I could resort to my old glasses and stick...
00:50:17 ...and you'll see for yourself
00:50:22 - Where is a men's room?
00:50:25 Mere theft... mere theft.
00:51:13 Yield to this poor blind man!
00:51:17 I'm sorry thousand times!
00:51:21 I'm sorry thousand times!
00:51:41 I'm sorry thousand times!
00:51:49 Thank you. Thank you very much.
00:52:19 - Idiot! Can't you see the auto-bus!
00:52:52 Panikovsky's being beaten!
00:52:56 Already?
00:52:58 Rather soon.
00:53:00 Panikovsky's being beaten!
00:53:02 Near "Hercules"! Around the corner!
00:53:09 Why do you bellow
00:53:12 How long have they been beating him?
00:53:15 - About five minutes.
00:53:18 There's a silly old man for you!
00:53:19 Let's have a look.
00:53:30 Pardon... another pardon.
00:53:33 Didn't you lose a permit for jam
00:53:35 Run along quickly.
00:53:40 Madam, your child is crying in the bus.
00:53:44 Let me through, disfranchised kulak!
00:53:49 This one?
00:53:51 Calm down, comrades. I shall ask the witnesses
00:54:01 Where are the witnesses?
00:54:14 Display your apprehension.
00:54:18 Where are witnesses, after all?
00:54:22 There is no place for hooligans in our city.
00:54:26 Are you a witness? Give me your phone.
00:54:30 - Who's a witness? You?
00:54:34 Come with me...
00:54:42 Another great blind man has been discovered!
00:54:44 Homer, Milton and Panikovsky!
00:54:52 And as for Balaganov!
00:54:53 Like a sailor from a wrecked ship!
00:54:56 - While he himself... Hell, I'm likely to fire you!
00:55:01 You are a pathetic nonentity.
00:55:05 Don't you dare to touch me!
00:55:10 You're a fine pair of bunglers!
00:55:17 No, Ostap Ibrahimovich! You'll see!
00:55:21 Under the cover of nocturnal darkness.
00:55:23 My honest and most honorable word.
00:55:40 Over my dead body!
00:55:42 Under the cover of nocturnal darkness.
00:55:59 - How warm it is! Don't you swim at night?
00:56:05 Well then, will you wait for me here?
00:57:06 May I have a light?
00:57:09 I don't smoke.
00:57:13 Is that so? Can you tell me what time it is?
00:57:17 About twelve.
00:57:23 - Hands up!
00:57:24 I said "hands up".
00:57:32 Why are you beating me?
00:57:39 I'll show you what time it is.
00:57:45 Kick him! Kick him!
00:58:12 I dropped it accidentally. It's nothing.
00:58:15 What a wonderful night!
00:59:21 - Who do you think you are?
00:59:43 I think I disturbed you. It seems to me
00:59:49 Oh, it was money you were dividing?
00:59:51 Pray, continue -- it's interesting.
00:59:57 I shall watch.
01:00:03 I wanted it done honestly and fairly.
01:00:08 You, Ostap Ibrahimovich,..
01:00:09 ...him,..
01:00:11 ...Kozlevich...
01:00:12 ...and me.
01:00:15 10 thousand? Good. Mr.Koreiko's salary
01:00:24 Now let Panikovsky divide.
01:00:26 He seems to have his own opinion
01:00:32 I do have my own opinion.
01:00:38 As if I've never divided the money.
01:00:44 As if this is real money, just 10 thousand.
01:00:51 To me. To Ostap Ibrahimovich.
01:01:06 I'm leaving. Right now.
01:01:12 To me. To him. To me.
01:01:23 So?
01:01:27 You and I get 4 thousand apiece.
01:01:30 And Balaganov two.
01:01:36 But Kozlevich?
01:01:38 Why give anything to Kozlevich?
01:01:40 Who is this Kozlevich that
01:01:42 We don't know any Kozlevich!
01:01:44 Have you finished? - Yes.
01:01:46 What has Kozlevich-Shmazlevich to do with it?
01:01:48 And now I shall show you
01:01:50 - Honestly and fairly?
01:02:05 Stop joking, Bender!
01:02:08 Let's divide it fairly.
01:02:10 I have no desire to jest with you
01:02:13 What did we work for then?
01:02:20 We tried -- me and Michael Samuelievich.
01:02:25 To you, seeing that you are the favorite son
01:02:31 ...that we didn't come here for 10 thousand.
01:02:38 Why did you send us then?
01:02:41 - The point is, Shura...
01:02:43 Who do you think you are?
01:02:48 ...that I'm not a bandit.
01:02:52 I'm a high-principled fighter for currency.
01:02:56 This was merely a test.
01:02:57 Consider: a clerk with a salary of 46 rubles
01:03:02 This presents us with great opportunities.
01:03:06 Tomorrow I shall return the 10 thousand
01:03:12 And precisely here will come his downfall.
01:03:17 Being a wise man, he'll understand
01:03:23 ...and for fear of losing all
01:03:28 And at this point, Shura, there will appear
01:03:32 Border... You're right!
01:03:42 - Why are you crying?
01:03:51 I haven't had a bath for a year!
01:03:56 Girls don't like me.
01:04:00 I refer you to the Universal League of Sexual Reform.
01:04:04 Perhaps there they will help you.
01:04:06 - Nobody loves me!
01:04:13 Girls don't love the like of you.
01:04:16 They love young, long-legged,
01:04:20 When you die no one will write
01:04:23 "Another comrade has killed himself with work."
01:04:26 Or ''Death tore comrade N away from our rangs"
01:04:31 And no beautiful widow with Persian eyes
01:04:39 And no weeping children will ask,
01:04:46 Don't talk like that! I'll outlive all of you!
01:04:51 Panikovsky will yet sell and buy you all!
01:04:55 You had better tell me
01:05:00 I'm asking you for the last time.
01:05:15 I want to.
01:05:17 Citizen Koreiko?
01:05:20 Yes.
01:05:25 Alexander Ivanovich?
01:05:28 Quite so.
01:05:35 Please, be seated.
01:05:42 - I've come to you on an errand.
01:05:51 - We want to please you
01:06:14 I don't smoke.
01:06:26 Exactly 10 thousand. Count'em if you want.
01:06:30 - Will you please signed a receipt for it?
01:06:34 You are mistaken, comrade.
01:06:39 You were robbed yesterday evening,
01:06:43 No one robbed me.
01:06:46 Yesterday evening by the sea!
01:06:51 The robbers were arrested!
01:06:54 So help me God, nobody robbed me.
01:07:01 Sorry, I'm have to go to work now.
01:07:08 What do you mean, work! What work.
01:07:12 The case is solved. You'll get the money.
01:07:15 What do you think?
01:07:22 Quite right.
01:07:29 Exactly.
01:07:31 - So you have no complaints to make? - No.
01:07:35 Not in the least. I'm a very healthy man.
01:07:39 - And you are not tormented by nightmares?
01:07:43 So long, then.
01:07:45 Don't forget your police cap.
01:07:49 I could only beg you not to eat too many pickles
01:07:58 You're an interesting man, Alexander Ivanovich.
01:08:06 Remarkable! Such luck -- and still at liberty!
01:08:22 Well?
01:08:27 The plate?
01:08:35 You'll ruin you health with so much liquid.
01:09:02 I get it!
01:09:07 What's inside if it's not a secret?
01:09:12 My little pigeons! Everything is inside this:
01:09:24 Palms, girls, Blue Expresses,
01:09:30 ...a scarcely worn dinner jacket, a Japanese valet,..
01:09:35 ...platinum teeth, socks without holes,
01:09:40 ...and, what is more important, the power,
01:09:46 ...from money.
01:09:51 Stop your cruel jokes!
01:09:54 Back to business, boys.
01:09:57 The defendant does have money.
01:10:03 This is a private investigation of citizen Koreiko.
01:10:07 ..."we need legal status, legal status and, once again,
01:10:13 At any rate, we must become a part of
01:10:17 What office employees? What vivid mass?
01:10:27 Comrades, let's sit down.
01:10:32 - When else, Ostap Ibrahimovich?
01:10:37 The money will be deposited to the bank account
01:10:46 - That's it, Shura.
01:10:50 - This is the end.
01:10:56 ...of part one, only!
01:11:00 Gentlemen of the jury!
01:11:08 Ilya Ilf and Eugene Petrov
01:11:15 Part Two
01:11:21 Office for the Collection of
01:11:24 Closed for Lunch
01:11:48 Closed! The collection of hoofs
01:11:52 I also have a right
01:11:57 My name is Funt!
01:12:02 And do you suppose that is sufficient to justify
01:12:07 Here, you're laughing,
01:12:15 I am 90 years old.
01:12:18 You have an office.
01:12:25 Yes, yes. An office. Go on, go on!
01:12:39 Old guy, indeed.
01:12:42 Well, what do you want?
01:12:46 Do you see these trousers?
01:12:52 There was a time when I put them on
01:12:56 Now I wear them every day.
01:13:02 - Don't you need a chairman?
01:13:06 An official one -- in a word,
01:13:09 I'm the chief myself.
01:13:12 In other words, you expect to do time yourself?
01:13:17 Why didn't you say so in the first place?
01:13:22 I'm Funt! All my life I've done time for others!
01:13:28 - Oh, so you are a professional figure-head!
01:13:34 I've done time at the time of Alexander II,
01:13:38 ...at the time of Alexander III,
01:13:41 ...at the time of Nicholas II, the Bloody.
01:13:44 At the time of Kerensky I also did time.
01:13:46 At the time of Military Communism,..
01:13:49 There was no work for me.
01:13:51 But how I did time in the days of the NEP!
01:14:00 Right away you can see that he is
01:14:05 There are few of his kind left now,
01:14:11 During 4 years I had less than
01:14:15 - And now I cannot recognize our Chernomorsk.
01:14:20 Where is private capital?
01:14:23 Where are the joint stock companies
01:14:28 Where are they all? Monstrous!
01:14:35 Well,..
01:14:37 ...now when you've finished,..
01:14:40 ...tell me, don't you know a fellow
01:14:46 Don't know him.
01:14:49 And did you ever have
01:14:51 "Hercules"? Well, of course I have!
01:14:54 Several private joint stock companies
01:14:58 - Who in particular?
01:15:05 "Intensifier" received a large advance of money...
01:15:09 ...for the purpose of doing something
01:15:12 -- the substitute-chairman was not supposed
01:15:14 ...and immediately it crashed.
01:15:20 But who got it?
01:15:24 Who can tell.
01:15:26 This man has a head on him!
01:15:30 I would not put my finger
01:15:36 Who was this man? Try to recall.
01:15:38 Funt does not know it.
01:15:41 All I had to do was do my time.
01:15:46 I've done time at the time of Alexander II,..
01:15:48 ...of Alexander III,..
01:15:49 ...of Nicholas Romanov,..
01:15:51 ...of Alexandre Kerensky,..
01:15:52 ...during NEP, after NEP.
01:15:57 I did time under Tsarizm,..
01:15:58 ... and under Socialism,..
01:16:00 ...and under the Hetman...
01:16:01 ...and now I'm between jobs.
01:16:03 But didn't you see
01:16:06 ...about the business of advances?
01:16:09 - Any name?
01:16:16 But I'm waisting my valuable time on you.
01:16:24 My price is not high: 120 rubles a month at liberty
01:16:28 ...a 100% increase for damages.
01:16:30 I suppose we can give you the job.
01:16:33 Make out your application
01:16:36 My table will be over there.
01:16:37 And you, comrade hoof-specialist,
01:16:44 The document is mandatory!
01:16:50 On your knees!
01:16:53 Stand up.
01:16:55 Approach.
01:16:58 I've heard a lot of interesting stories about you
01:17:05 You're goner, Berlaga, but let's talk.
01:17:17 - Be truthful.
01:17:21 Tell us about you colleague Skumbrievich.
01:17:27 I'm fascinated by his artistic image.
01:17:41 He was born in 1891.
01:17:45 Our short-term relationship
01:17:48 ...that he is an honest man.
01:18:19 This is surely the place to look for him.
01:18:21 If they say that he is attending
01:18:25 ...then he must be here.
01:18:27 Granted that our department
01:18:32 There are all sorts of deficiencies.
01:18:35 But such as exist in "Hercules"!
01:18:41 I love instant photography!
01:19:12 Look! This is his stuff.
01:19:18 Citizen Skumbrievich! Zhorik!
01:19:27 He has evidently swum far away.
01:19:32 I have no intention
01:19:35 I shall have to act
01:19:45 Hey dude, let me have a look.
01:20:02 Over there, behind the buoy.
01:20:11 Balaganov! Undress and get Berlaga ready!
01:20:42 Comrade Skumbrievich! Just one inquiry.
01:20:48 Who authorized advances for "Intensifier"?
01:20:52 - Those that you took...
01:20:54 Then who took them?
01:21:08 Shura! Launch Berlaga!
01:21:17 Dude, gimme a drink.
01:21:35 Witness for the prosecution, name the amount
01:21:45 Do not dip!
01:21:49 Everybody to the surface!
01:21:57 Face-to-face testimony continues.
01:22:20 Our Skumbrievich has confessed.
01:22:28 Squealed, did he, the viper?
01:22:31 I didn't do it in the interests of verity,
01:22:51 Here I sense the hand of Koreiko.
01:22:59 Funding of advances was authorized
01:23:04 ...him personally?
01:23:07 Polykhaev.
01:23:27 As I said, it did not take long.
01:23:36 What will happen now? I will perish!
01:23:46 How can I be calm? I have a wife, children
01:23:54 I did not hide anything. Word of honor!
01:24:04 Can I live in peace? Can I?
01:24:08 Man can have complete peace
01:24:12 Any life insurance agent can tell you that.
01:24:19 Comrades! Personally,
01:24:22 But the government
01:24:33 Somehow I have stopped believing in Bender.
01:24:38 Well, well, Nobody asked your opinion.
01:24:41 No seriously! I greatly respect Ostap Ibrahimovich.
01:24:46 What is he spending our money for? Just think.
01:24:50 Why all this foolish office?
01:24:54 And the ink well for 200 rubles!
01:25:03 I respect Bender very much but...
01:25:09 ...he is an ass.
01:25:11 He's a pathetic, insignificant person!
01:25:13 After all, Bender made a man out of you.
01:25:19 Do you remember how you ran
01:25:22 Now you have a job, receive a salary,
01:25:26 I don't want to be member of society!
01:25:30 He started all these silly investigations...
01:25:32 ...when we can get the money to-day
01:25:34 Why, I ask you, did he go to the Caucasus?
01:25:37 He says he went on business.
01:25:42 I don't believe him.
01:25:44 Panikovsky doesn't have to believe everything!
01:25:49 Yesterday I secretly penetrated into Koreiko's room.
01:25:51 Of course I did not find any money there,..
01:25:53 ...but I discovered something better:..
01:25:57 ...dumbbells,
01:26:10 I have discovered the secret of those dumbbells!
01:26:13 What kind of a secret can it be?
01:26:17 Shura, you know how I respect you.
01:26:20 But you are an ass too.
01:26:34 Those are gold dumbbells!
01:26:37 Together, 120 pounds of 24K gold.
01:26:45 I stood there before those dumbbells
01:26:48 What a scoundrel this Koreiko!
01:26:56 I'll get myself some gold teeth,
01:26:59 My honest, honorable word! I'll get married!
01:27:05 Do you think I would have told you this secret
01:27:11 But I'm a sick old man,
01:27:14 And I appeal to you as to a kinsman.
01:27:17 I'm not Bender; I'm honest, Shura!
01:27:21 But suppose they aren't gold?
01:27:24 Just look at him!
01:27:27 Well then, what are they, according to you?
01:27:31 Now it's all clear.
01:27:36 Pay for the kefir, Shura.
01:27:57 There is a watchmaker of my acquaintance.
01:28:03 Not as in the government store
01:28:23 The author!
01:28:29 What fair share.
01:28:34 He's writing again!
01:28:37 But where will we saw off
01:28:39 - Did you think about it?
01:28:41 So why are we standing here like madmen?
01:29:11 And there's no one who can
01:29:20 Now I will not take less then a million,..
01:29:24 ...or the good mulattoes
01:30:03 I will command the parade!
01:30:50 Who's there?
01:30:53 Telegram.
01:31:15 What's the matter?
01:31:18 Lift it off.
01:31:29 Now go, lift mine.
01:31:32 This is precise scale -- from a drug store.
01:32:23 I'm dying of boredom.
01:32:26 I've been only talking to you
01:32:29 ...as if I had known you all my life.
01:32:32 With such a disagreeable character
01:32:34 But here a millionaire should be
01:32:36 - You are insane.
01:32:40 I'm the son of a Turkish citizen,
01:32:43 Janissaries know no pity,
01:32:46 ...for children, or for underground
01:32:50 Go away, citizen. It's already almost 3 o'clock.
01:32:55 What the hell do you want with me, anyway?
01:32:57 I want you to fall in love with me,..
01:32:59 ...and as a token of your regard,
01:33:09 I have told you a thousand times,
01:33:13 You understand?
01:33:14 Well, then, get out!
01:33:18 You'll never lodge any complaints against me.
01:33:22 Let's get serious.
01:33:24 See this folder.
01:33:29 But let's come to an agreement: no excesses.
01:33:34 Otherwise I'll be in a very foolish situation.
01:33:37 The fruits of long conscientious labor will perish.
01:33:39 So. Here is a folder.
01:33:45 First you come to me with some mysterious money.
01:33:49 Then you invent some case.
01:33:51 I's simply ridiculous!
01:33:52 Will you buy it? It is at a rate of only
01:34:01 What information are you talking about?
01:34:04 The most interesting. Information concerning
01:34:07 ...which is so radically different from your first --
01:34:12 Your first life is known to everybody.
01:34:16 But of your second life from 4 to 10,..
01:34:21 only I'm informed.
01:34:24 Have you estimated
01:34:28 You know, you are not descended
01:34:32 You are descended from a cow.
01:34:36 I repeat: the folder is being offered for a million.
01:34:40 Show me the case.
01:34:42 Don't bother. I'll command the parade!
01:34:54 I don't understand what you want of me.
01:35:01 Let's begin on that basis, which,
01:35:09 Gentlemen of the Jury!
01:35:15 My defendant was born...
01:35:24 In those days little Sasha had not yet
01:35:28 Further goes the rosy adolescence.
01:35:34 The first important enterprises
01:35:39 trade in government medicaments at the time
01:35:43 ...and work in the Supplies Department,
01:35:48 ..and the supplies directed
01:35:51 All these facts, gentlemen of the jury, interest us
01:35:58 We shall omit some pages...
01:36:00 Those with weak nerves should leave the audience.
01:36:07 Not altogether devoid of curiosity...
01:36:09 ...was the appearance of my defendant
01:36:15 Just look at him...
01:36:45 I can't make it out.
01:36:52 No, this is not gold!
01:36:57 Go on sawing, Shura! Go on.
01:37:11 Don't come to me with this iron.
01:37:26 Don't press my psyche!
01:37:33 You're interfering with business!
01:37:36 Where... where are you going, mammy?
01:37:41 Gentlemen of the jury!
01:37:46 And as you see, the ice is breaking.
01:37:51 The defendant has attempted to kill me.
01:37:56 He merely wanted to find out
01:38:01 Inside of me is an honorable
01:38:08 ...excellent lungs, and a gall bladder
01:38:10 I request that this fact be entered into the protocol.
01:38:15 It's no longer a secret
01:38:18 I shall never obtain that which
01:38:24 ...obtained from the Polish beauty Inga Zaiac.
01:38:27 He did obtain her love.
01:38:29 You may consider the serenade over.
01:38:32 I'm addressing you as one juridical party
01:38:43 I beg the court's permission
01:38:47 Did not the defendant have extra-official duties
01:38:53 He did not?
01:38:58 Also not?
01:38:59 And with Herculean Polykhaev?
01:39:04 I'm tired and hungry!
01:39:09 Tell me, don't you happen to have...
01:39:11 ...a cold meat ball stored away on your bosom?
01:39:13 No?
01:39:15 Surprising poverty if one takes into consideration
01:39:17 ...which you, with the aid of Polykhayev,
01:39:24 Yes, gentlemen of the jury,
01:39:31 That has been proven.
01:39:35 What punishment does he deserve?
01:39:43 Bad luck, Alexander Ivanovich.
01:39:47 However, I shall permit myself to plead
01:39:54 ...that the defendant buy my folder
01:40:08 It's dawn. Ah, how quickly the night passed
01:40:14 When you came in the guise of a Kiev investigator,
01:40:22 To my regret, I was mistaken.
01:40:28 Anything might happen, to quote the Polish beauty
01:40:39 Well, now I understand the role of that idiot beggar.
01:40:43 But the dumbbells?
01:40:46 - What dumbbells?
01:40:50 I did not steal any dumbbells.
01:40:54 Generally speaking, you pulled
01:40:57 Quite possible. I'm no angel.
01:41:00 However, we're talking too much. The mulattoes
01:41:06 Yes, the money.
01:41:11 The folder is a good one.
01:41:14 But a million is an excessively large figure.
01:41:18 Au revoir.
01:41:21 According to my estimates, you've got 8-9 millions.
01:41:26 A splendid carriage with bars will call for you.
01:41:28 That's no way to do business
01:41:30 That may be so. But I'm not a financier.
01:41:34 I'm an independent artist and a cold philosopher.
01:41:37 By what right should you receive this money...
01:41:41 I didn't only earn it, but I have even suffered!
01:41:45 After having examined your past
01:41:52 - Isn't that alone worth a million rubles --
01:41:55 It's worth it, it's worth it.
01:41:57 You wouldn't be haunted
01:42:01 Don't be afraid.
01:42:02 Well then, shall we go to the corn bin?
01:42:11 - Please.
01:42:37 You're much better than
01:42:40 Indeed, one should part with money
01:42:42 A million is not too much for a good man.
01:42:55 Citizens, you are in a poison gas zone!
01:43:20 Scabby old fellows!
01:43:25 Citizen defendant, what are these tricks?
01:43:38 Citizen! You are poisoned.
01:43:47 Citizen! You're poisoned by the gas.
01:43:54 Boys, tell my deceased father,
01:43:59 ...that his favorite son,
01:44:03 ...has died the death of the brave
01:44:06 "Sleep, fighting eagles! Nightingale,
01:44:10 How to defend yourself against
01:44:18 Is it possible at all?
01:44:37 ... the choking, the tear-producing,
01:44:40 ...the festering, the irritating...
01:44:55 ...Chlorpicrin, Bromidic Benzyl,
01:45:01 You're pathetic nonentities!
01:45:07 You'll have to answer for this.
01:45:10 Commander!
01:45:14 Stop. You are poisoned aren't you?.
01:45:22 Not a word about dumbbells.
01:45:34 Where have you been?
01:45:38 Well, swan-brothers,
01:45:42 So help me God,
01:45:47 My honest, honorable word!
01:45:53 Don't you see that these are Balaganov's tricks.
01:45:56 And you believe him?
01:45:59 Do you suppose I would have taken
01:46:10 So it was you who took the dumbbells!
01:46:15 Panikovsky said that they were made of gold.
01:46:46 And how does it go with the defendant?
01:46:48 Fine, but for the fact that
01:46:56 - Do you see the young lady sitting there?
01:47:01 - She's the one with whom Koreiko used to walk.
01:47:06 So, that is Zosya Sinitskaya!
01:47:10 Well now, really!
01:47:18 Are you the girl who lived near Marcelle
01:47:23 In what year?
01:47:24 Then, it must've been another woman.
01:47:30 Do you know what you comb is made of?
01:47:33 It's made of horns'n'hoofs.
01:47:36 I'm interested in technology.
01:47:40 During a reconstruction - privately speaking -
01:47:42 everything is decided by technology.
01:47:45 but liberal art and philology...
01:47:47 Do you like Byron?
01:47:48 Oh my God, what a woman!
01:48:20 By the way, meet Panikovsky,
01:48:30 - Shura Schmidt.
01:48:58 - What were you talking to her about?
01:49:02 - Well, you roughnecks, let's get back to business.
01:49:07 We must find the defendant.
01:49:11 8 trains with far destinations had already departed
01:49:15 After all, there's nothing terrible about it.
01:49:18 In China it would be rather difficult to find the man.
01:49:23 We have only 160 million, and so it is 3 times
01:49:28 All we need is money,
01:49:33 Next morning...
01:49:37 This is all that remains of 10 thousand.
01:49:41 And I thought we had a balance of about $7000.
01:49:46 Everything was so fine!
01:49:50 Life was smiling at us.
01:49:53 And suddenly...I understand!
01:49:59 A bureaucratic apparatus
01:50:05 Let's divide the money.
01:50:13 - And Kozlevich?
01:50:19 We'll keep this money for a rainy day
01:50:23 ...when we're all get scurvy.
01:50:26 What is to be done?
01:50:29 What do you mean by "what"?
01:50:32 The inkstand will be bought by any establishment,
01:50:36 And the typewriter, and the hole puncher,
01:50:41 All of that can be sold...
01:50:48 This is simply criminal!
01:50:49 Through the entire campaign they have
01:50:53 They'll face the court for this!
01:51:08 The office is dead.
01:51:40 Shura, do you have cash?
01:51:44 I've one ruble. Why?
01:51:45 Give it me.
01:51:49 Thanks.
01:52:05 What is it? What are you doing?
01:52:08 You'll take these flowers to Zosya Sinitskaya.
01:52:10 This was our last money!
01:52:13 - Why all this pretension?
01:52:16 I have a big heart, like a calf.
01:52:20 And anyway, this isn't money.
01:52:23 And we have none... Go, Shura.
01:52:28 Bender is mad! He is simply ruining us!
01:52:35 It's warm and dark here,..
01:52:39 ...like between the palms of two hands.
01:53:04 Why did you fall in love with me?
01:53:06 You are lovely and wonderful.
01:53:10 You are better then anyone else in the world.
01:53:19 Do you remember I was telling you about Koreiko?
01:53:23 You know -- the fellow who proposed to me?
01:53:30 Do you remember I told you
01:53:35 Just imagine! To-day I received a letter from him.
01:53:44 What?
01:53:46 - Are you jealous?
01:53:52 What does that dull fellow write you?
01:53:55 He's not a bit dull.
01:53:58 He's merely a poor, very unhappy man.
01:54:02 Why did you get up, Ostap?
01:54:09 Seriously, I don't love him at all.
01:54:12 He wants me to come to him.
01:54:15 Where? Where does he want you to come?
01:54:19 No, I shan't tell you!
01:54:22 I'm merely curious to know
01:54:25 He is now working on the construction
01:54:29 Upon my word, you are too curious.
01:54:33 You make me laugh, Zosya!
01:54:40 I simply want to know on which part of
01:54:46 He has a job as a switchman
01:54:52 That is its only name. As a matter of fact,
01:55:00 This train lays down the rails
01:55:05 And another such little city
01:55:09 Then there will be an official union.
01:55:13 All sorts of things are in the desert,
01:55:17 Isn't it interesting?
01:55:25 It's cold. It's cold here, Zosya.
01:55:39 It's very late. It's time to go.
01:55:44 And anyway... let us go.
01:55:48 Aren't you going to see me home?
01:55:53 What? Oh, home! You see, I...
01:56:02 - Don't go!
01:56:05 And don't come to me any more,..
01:56:10 ...do you hear?
01:56:12 Wait!
01:56:25 Lovely and wonderful!
01:56:41 No, this is not Rio de Janeiro.
01:57:01 In a day...
01:57:16 ...two...
01:57:32 ...three...
01:58:21 Adam, we must go. The course is due East.
01:58:36 The antelope was a faithful machine,..
01:58:38 ...but there are many other machines in the world.
01:58:41 Soon you will be able to select any one you like.
01:58:45 A new car! How will we name it?
01:58:54 Life is beautiful, in spite of its drawbacks!
01:58:59 Where is Panikovsky?
01:59:22 - Come, come. We have far to go.
01:59:27 Pathetic, insignificant people!
01:59:32 Don't whine, old man.
01:59:34 Golden jaws await you.
01:59:36 A fat little widow...
01:59:38 ...and a whole reservoir of kefir.
01:59:40 - Onward!
01:59:46 I'll buy a little sailor suit for Balaganov
01:59:51 And our driver will receive a new machine.
01:59:57 - "Lincoln"? "Studebaker"?
02:00:04 Bender! You don't know how I respect you!
02:00:09 You don't know what a goose is.
02:00:14 - Oh, how I love that bird!
02:00:20 I kill a goose like a toreador, with a single blow!
02:00:23 When I attack a goose, it's an opera!..."Carmen"!
02:00:31 It's an opera!..
02:00:33 A wing!..
02:00:34 The neck!..
02:00:37 The drumstick!...
02:01:00 The old man is impossible.
02:01:04 Shura!.. Shura!..
02:01:08 Shura, go and bring that malingerer here.
02:01:18 [ Car Exchange ]
02:01:35 I was frequently unjust to the deceased.
02:01:39 Was the deceased a moral person?
02:01:42 No, he was not a moral person.
02:01:48 He was an ex-blindman, usurper and goose-thief.
02:01:56 He devoted all his powers to the task
02:02:00 But society did not want him
02:02:03 [ Here Lies Mikhail Panikovsky
02:02:05 ...and he could not endure this contradiction in views
02:02:10 And therefore he died.
02:02:13 That's all.
02:02:20 Say something, Shura.
02:02:24 Comrades!
02:02:26 The international situation...
02:02:29 Our response to Chamberlain...
02:02:32 Rest in peace.
02:02:35 And to think that I beat him for the dumbbells!
02:02:40 And even before that, I fought with him!
02:03:04 Onward! We have to go!
02:03:16 Why did you stop?
02:03:19 The nearest station is 20 miles away.
02:03:22 Then we'll move toward the east.
02:03:27 Well?
02:03:32 I will not go. Don't be offended,
02:03:38 I don't know where we ought to go.
02:03:42 I shall remain.
02:03:43 This is just what I wanted to tell you...
02:03:46 I have no faith.
02:03:47 As you wish. What are you going to do?
02:03:52 I'll become again on of the children
02:03:54 I'll put the Antelope together.
02:03:59 I'll find her, look over her and fix her up.
02:04:55 The northern and the southern parts of
02:06:24 The rally is over.
02:06:27 The dinner for the builders and guests is served.
02:07:07 Hey, you, there on the schooner!
02:07:12 Why don't you pull out the whole suitcase?
02:07:14 Anything else?
02:08:00 Where are we going to split our money?
02:08:33 Station Khatsepetovka!
02:08:38 By the way, I have entirely forgotten
02:08:41 Perhaps you intend to cut my throat...
02:08:44 ...to chop in parts and ship them
02:08:49 Also ferment my head in a barrel of cabbage...
02:08:52 I want you to know I'm opposed to it.
02:08:58 You need not check it.
02:09:02 I conduct business with the efficiency of a bank.
02:09:06 What a good folder it was.
02:09:11 I wish I can keep it but I need money.
02:10:05 And so I'm a millionaire!
02:10:10 Then, make me a movie star.
02:10:12 The dreams of an idiot have come true!
02:10:40 Let's go!
02:10:42 Stop!
02:10:47 Let's fly, Alexander Ivanovich!
02:10:53 Stop! Don't rush.
02:10:59 We are passengers. Two tickets!
02:11:05 Do you have first class?
02:11:10 We accept no passengers.
02:11:13 Wait. I'm buying the airplane!
02:11:31 - Did you see it?
02:12:04 Wake up! And so came day six.
02:12:11 I'm Emir Dynamite!
02:12:15 ...I'll rouse some tribes to rebellion.
02:12:17 Upon my word! I'll declare a djihad.
02:12:22 There's always a cause.
02:12:23 Why did the Danes torture their Prince Hamlet?
02:12:27 I'll buy rifles from the English --
02:12:31 Can you imagine the invasion of tribes in Denmark?
02:12:35 I shall ride on a white camel at the head of all!
02:12:43 There is no Panikovsky!
02:12:50 Wake up, Alexander Ivanovich.
02:13:21 Here is a little city
02:13:25 I was here 5 years ago...
02:13:28 ...and gave anti-abortion lectures.
02:13:31 There used to be a pair of saloons
02:13:36 But this is not Rio de Janeiro.
02:13:40 I'm going to the railroad station right away.
02:13:50 I've had enough. I'm going to the station
02:13:56 ...and get a job somewhere.
02:13:59 Good accountants are now in demand.
02:14:57 - Allow me?
02:15:06 And those are souvenirs for your services.
02:15:09 Must be a foreigner.
02:15:46 Arise, Count!
02:15:53 Ochakov? ... I will not do it again. ...
02:16:03 Do you recognize me?
02:16:09 - Commander!
02:16:14 You're brown!
02:16:18 Yes, I've become brown.
02:16:23 The ring finger of my hand is adorned
02:16:30 Well, what are your attainments?
02:16:34 So,so. Mostly little things.
02:16:49 Tell me honestly, Shura, how much money
02:16:54 100 rubles.
02:16:55 But no! Not just for to-day, but in general.
02:17:03 So that you will live well in the world.
02:17:06 For a total happiness?
02:17:12 6 thousand and 4 hundred.
02:17:16 Very well.
02:17:25 Here's 50 thousand.
02:17:35 - Was it really on a little plate?
02:17:38 Yes, with a blue border.
02:17:41 The defendant brought it in his teeth.
02:17:44 ..before I agreed to accept it.
02:17:47 Now I am in command of the parade! I feel fine.
02:17:52 But what about Rio de Engineiro?
02:17:56 The devil take it!
02:17:58 There is no Rio de Janeiro!
02:18:01 And there is no America!
02:18:03 And there is no Europe!
02:18:06 There is nothing over there.
02:18:07 The waves of the Atlantic Ocean
02:18:12 [*Ostap means former border point
02:18:15 A certain doctor explained everything to me.
02:18:17 The rest of the world is a myth
02:18:20 He who goes abroad never returns!
02:18:23 It's simply a circus!
02:18:26 What a fine time I'll have now!
02:18:35 Poor Panikovsky!
02:18:39 I propose to honor the memory
02:18:53 - Sit down.
02:18:57 And Kozlevich...
02:19:00 He actually put the "Antelope" together
02:19:07 He sent me a letter.
02:19:09 Wrote that he was fine but out of money.
02:19:17 Asked me to send him an oil pipe
02:19:22 He's a good old man.
02:19:26 Now I'll run out
02:19:29 Don't bother. I'll buy him a new machine.
02:19:31 As for you, we'll have to get you some more clothes.
02:19:37 Let's go to the Grand Hotel.
02:19:39 I've reserved a room
02:19:43 And what do you think is conductor's name?
02:19:45 It's a circus!
02:19:46 I'll put you in an elementary school.
02:19:54 You'll become a real man.
02:20:00 Hey, old man, how much?
02:20:03 Beat it. That is the carriage of the past.
02:20:08 My bet there's no taxi.
02:20:16 Shura, mind your pockets!
02:20:46 I've been robbed!
02:20:48 Hold him!
02:20:50 There he is!
02:20:54 Bandit! Finger! Thief!
02:21:00 There was a powder box
02:21:04 Hold him!
02:21:08 There was also my trade union id.
02:21:16 Don't let him go.
02:21:24 How did it happen?
02:21:30 Swear to God. I did not want to...
02:21:41 I'll show you -- mechanically!
02:21:52 Goodbye, Commander!
02:21:56 It was an accident.
02:22:00 In a train to Chernomorsk...
02:22:41 They've cremated homeless boy.
02:22:45 Furnace opens -- what they hear?
02:22:56 Peter, called the Great (poor Pete!)
02:22:59 Just a snake and one old nag,
02:23:12 The Seer has come!
02:23:14 Favorite of Rabindranath Tagore.
02:23:21 ... Iokanaan Marusidze.
02:23:25 Performance of Sherlock Holmes experiments.
02:23:29 The invisible hen.
02:23:32 The prophet Samuel answers all questions.
02:23:35 The materialization of spirits
02:23:39 ... elephants.
02:23:44 What's going on here, citizens?
02:23:49 Get out, all of you, citizens from the 'hard' car!
02:23:57 Otherwise, I'll go to the chief!
02:24:00 These are guests.
02:24:04 We're returning from our summer factory practice.
02:24:06 It's against the rules.
02:24:09 What the matter with you, papa.
02:24:10 Passengers ought not to be lynched
02:24:13 You must be more hospitable.
02:24:19 A remarkable thing. This morning
02:24:23 ...but now we feel as if
02:24:31 According to the laws of hospitality!
02:24:33 That's how it should've been done in the first place!
02:24:36 This zwieback is removed by one step
02:24:39 And this step has already been taken.
02:24:43 Come to our polytechnicum!
02:24:47 You'll live like a god!
02:24:50 We have a table with stewed fruits every day.
02:24:53 I've already graduated from a liberal art school.
02:24:57 What are you doing now?
02:25:00 - Work along what line?
02:25:05 Accountant?
02:25:06 Cash messenger?
02:25:07 Bank clerk?
02:25:09 No, Raya, I have no job.
02:25:14 I'm a millionaire.
02:25:18 - How many millions have you?
02:25:21 Not much! Not much!
02:25:24 It's enough for me.
02:25:40 Wow!
02:25:48 Everything is in place.
02:25:52 One million minus some change.
02:25:58 Great!
02:26:01 That's how it is, Sasha.
02:26:03 I live like a god, or like a demi-god,
02:26:08 - How much do we owe for the tea?
02:26:12 How many did we drink, comrades?
02:26:17 I'll go check our luggage.
02:26:23 I also have to check my stuff.
02:26:30 When did they all run to?
02:26:36 - Why did you devils suddenly become sad?
02:26:39 Where are you going?
02:26:43 I have a marvelous Volga bass!
02:26:49 - Where did they all run to?
02:26:52 Wait. I was joking!
02:26:54 I'm the director of a symphonic orchestra!
02:26:56 Believe me! I'm the son of Lieutenant Schmidt!
02:26:59 My farther is a Turkish subject...
02:27:32 I have deceived you, Adam.
02:27:34 I cannot present you with
02:27:37 ...not even a "Buick".
02:27:38 The government does not regard me as a purchaser.
02:27:40 They want to know how I earned the money.
02:27:44 The only thing I can do is to buy you
02:27:47 My "Lauren-Dietrich" is a good machine.
02:27:52 I have brought you the pipe.
02:27:58 With this I wouldn't need any "Buicks".
02:28:07 Do you know, Adam, here's a bit of news.
02:28:11 A column of air, weighing 214 kilos,..
02:28:13 ...presses upon every citizen,
02:28:17 - No, But why?
02:28:22 And recently I have found it extremely oppressive.
02:28:25 Think of it! 214 kilos!
02:28:29 I don't sleep well.
02:28:32 What?
02:28:33 Nothing. I'm listening.
02:28:37 I feel very bad.
02:28:39 Nobody loves me,
02:28:42 By the way, let's honor his memory by rising.
02:28:53 Let's drive.
02:29:03 Let's drive.
02:29:04 Drive where?
02:29:05 Wherever.
02:29:07 Yesterday in the street an old woman stopped me...
02:29:10 ...and asked me to buy an everlasting wick
02:29:14 I don't need an everlasting wick!
02:29:16 I don't want to live forever.
02:29:21 I have all the banal symptoms of being in love:
02:29:23 absence of appetite, sleeplessness,
02:29:28 Listen to what I wrote last night...
02:29:31 ...by the guttering light of an electric lamp:
02:29:36 I recollect a wondrous instant;
02:29:42 beloved, like a passing shadow,
02:29:47 Good, isn't it?
02:29:49 Talented!
02:29:52 And only a dawn did I remember that
02:29:57 Such a blow delivered by the classic!
02:30:00 Have you called on her... on Zosya Viktorovna?
02:30:05 I shan't go.
02:30:09 I sent her 350 rubles worth of telegrams
02:30:13 ...and did not receive even
02:30:15 i did it! I! With whom
02:30:20 ...and even a woman dentist,
02:30:22 No, Adam, I will not go! Good-by.
02:30:26 Where are you going?
02:31:04 Wrap it.
02:31:29 Thanks.
02:31:50 [To the People's Commissar of Finance. Valuable.]
02:33:24 Zosya...
02:33:27 I have arrived:
02:33:43 Do you know, Zosya, every man
02:33:47 ...of a column of atmosphere
02:33:52 What a lugubrious lover!
02:33:53 Indeed, I'm a typical Eugene Onegin,..
02:33:56 ...and, at the same time,
02:33:58 A fine knight you are!
02:33:59 Don't be angry, Zosya.
02:34:04 It seems to me that it presses upon me
02:34:07 This is because I love you.
02:34:09 And besides,
02:34:11 That's another reason.
02:34:12 Also it's because you lie
02:34:15 That is not a lie. It is a law of physics.
02:34:19 And yet, perhaps there really is no column,..
02:34:22 ...and all this is only my imagination.
02:34:27 I am 33 years old.
02:34:30 But what have I done until now?
02:34:31 I have created no religion.
02:34:32 I have wasted my disciples.
02:34:34 I have not brought the dead Panikovsky to life,
02:34:37 and only you...
02:34:39 Well, good-by. I'm going to the restaurant.
02:34:42 I'm also going to dine. I'll eat some shchi
02:34:45 - The restaurant is only for students.
02:34:49 - Let me introduce you.
02:34:56 Bender-Zadunaisky.
02:34:58 What! Are you also Zadunaisky?
02:35:01 You, too, are no longer Sinitskaya.
02:35:04 I am Sinitskaya-Femidi.
02:35:07 For 25 days already.
02:35:15 I like your husband.
02:35:18 I like him myself.
02:35:28 It happens sometimes
02:35:30 ...as you have imagined
02:35:35 ...and life proves to be coarse
02:35:47 In this sailor's borshch
02:35:56 What are you line of work?
02:35:59 I'm secretary of the art-collective
02:36:07 A representative of a collective.
02:36:11 However I shall no longer interfere
02:36:17 ...which are indispensable to health.
02:36:20 The girl was stolen!
02:36:24 The representative of the collective...
02:36:25 ...stole from the private millionaire...
02:36:32 Here is another Apostle Paul for you!
02:36:38 Accursed Seventh Day Adventist!
02:36:42 Goody-goody, son of a bitch!
02:36:45 I shall hang myself.
02:36:47 Such a Tolstoian deserves to be killed.
02:37:02 I only...to inquire. My mother!.. Uncle!
02:37:11 My I have my parcel back. Just for a minute.
02:37:21 Comrade, we never give parcels back.
02:37:25 What! Have you sent it already?
02:37:30 We never give parcels back.
02:37:37 But it is my parcel. Do you understand?
02:37:43 You see, I forgot to put in a jar of preserves.
02:37:47 My uncle will be frightfully disappointed.
02:37:49 We never give parcels back. Comrade.
02:37:56 - It won't hurt your uncle any.
02:38:00 "My uncle is so well respected" [A.Pushkin]
02:38:05 Impoverished childhood in Kremenchug!
02:38:07 The uncle weaned me... using a woman.
02:38:12 I ask you as a public-spirited citizen!
02:38:15 Where can I find it now?
02:38:17 Over there.
02:38:18 There are 3 tones of parcels over there.
02:38:20 My uncle!
02:38:24 He will not survive this.
02:38:31 OK. We are not animals, not leopards.
02:38:50 - Never do it again!
02:39:03 Enough of psychological excesses!
02:39:06 Enough of suffering and self-torture!
02:39:09 It's high time to begin
02:39:12 To Rio de Janeiro.
02:39:14 Epilogue.
02:39:26 Throughout the winter the great schemer
02:39:32 He had bought US dollars with their portraits
02:39:42 gold watches...
02:39:47 cigarette cases...
02:39:51 wedding rings...
02:39:54 diamonds...
02:39:59 and other precious articles.
02:40:04 His fur coat weighed a ton.
02:40:08 He was opressed by gold -
02:40:14 His back itched under the watches.
02:40:22 This remarkable load...
02:40:23 ...was to secure an easy,
02:40:31 for the commander
02:40:41 In Rio de Janeiro.
02:40:53 I greet you, seigneurs!
02:41:01 Bonjour, my friends!
02:41:08 But, but! Hands off!
02:41:11 Souvenirs from Paris!
02:41:13 They'll put color
02:41:18 Bracelet!
02:41:25 I shall complain about you to the large Khuruldan!
02:41:28 This is for you, gentlemen.
02:41:36 Oh. what treatment!
02:41:42 Move over!
02:41:59 Exploiters of hardworking people!
02:42:11 Accursed Siguranza!
02:42:29 The ice is breaking!
02:42:53 The ice is braking, gentlemen of the jury!
02:43:32 No ovations are necessary.
02:43:36 I did not become a Count of Monte Cristo.
02:43:40 I shall have to qualify as a superintendent!
02:43:52 This is the end.
02:43:57 The end.
