10
00:00:50,670 --> 00:00:53,400
This is Mama,

11
00:01:00,020 --> 00:01:02,180
This is Papa,

12
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,300
This is Kitty,

13
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,630
This is me,

14
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:24,270
This is Kolya,

15
00:01:31,370 --> 00:01:33,380
This is Capa,

16
00:01:36,750 --> 00:01:39,210
And that's my whole family.

17
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,530
My whole family is crying today.

18
00:01:42,530 --> 00:01:45,150
Why that is, I couldn't say.

19
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:49,000
I'll describe that stuff and bother

20
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,300
in the sequence things occurred -

21
00:01:51,300 --> 00:01:54,040
What they said to one another

22
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,700
and the words I overheard.

23
00:01:56,700 --> 00:01:59,610
To begin,
I'll speak of Kolya:

24
00:01:59,610 --> 00:02:09,000
When he was a smaller boy,
he went through school, like anyone,
but it didn't give him much joy.

25
00:02:09,450 --> 00:02:14,100
They say that he could not sit
on his stool for even an hour

26
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,050
They say that from class to class
they had to drag him by the ear.

27
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,150
Then he got stuck* in his last year.
*(held back)

28
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,920
We got Uncle Vasya in here -
a strong* tutor - just in time
*(skilled)

29
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:53,480
to pull* Kolya back in line.
*(tutor)

30
00:02:53,890 --> 00:02:57,100
That finally squeezed Kolya through.

31
00:02:57,660 --> 00:03:03,720
Papa, Uncle Vasya, Mama, Capa
wondered what was to be done -

32
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,720
What should our Kolya become?

33
00:03:05,780 --> 00:03:08,080
The factory,
they were sure,

34
00:03:08,140 --> 00:03:10,100
Our Kolya would not endure.

35
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,560
He should rest a bit, our dear,

36
00:03:12,620 --> 00:03:15,820
Then go to college next year.

37
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,080
Kolya agreed to try his luck there -

38
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,020
He'd go to college, what the heck,

39
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,920
But he fell right through
the cracks there,

40
00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:31,080
and he landed on Dad's neck*
*(freeloaded off him)

41
00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:32,970
Now Kolya's job is mainly

42
00:03:32,970 --> 00:03:35,400
to shake out* Daddy's pocket daily
*(ask for money)

43
00:03:38,270 --> 00:03:40,620
Every day, as if it was work,

44
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:42,540
Kolya goes to the restaurant.

45
00:03:42,580 --> 00:03:45,120
There, he kicks his feet* about
*(dances)

46
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,360
and he throws money around.

47
00:03:47,380 --> 00:03:49,730
He bought himself a tape machine

48
00:03:49,730 --> 00:03:52,690
and can now with a beard be seen.

49
00:03:53,570 --> 00:03:56,520
Mama says he's like a cabbie,

50
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,040
whipping vodka* in a hurry.
*(drinking)

51
00:04:07,300 --> 00:04:10,710
Now I'll tell you about Capa

52
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:13,760
She looks like Mama, not Papa.

53
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,220
That girl Capa's a real looker,

54
00:04:17,260 --> 00:04:20,320
Capa doesn't need to work,

55
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,480
Capa doesn't need to study,

56
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,840
Capa can live without all that.

57
00:04:26,860 --> 00:04:29,760
This is what our Mama thinks.

58
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,240
For Capa she has a dream:

59
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,600
Our Capa is like a painting*
*(pretty)

60
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,940
so she must, while she still can,

61
00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:37,860
find someone who's solid, wealthy,

62
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:40,480
and jump in* behind that man.
*(marry him)

63
00:04:41,860 --> 00:04:44,860
Just like Capa's girlfriend Nina,

64
00:04:45,220 --> 00:04:47,700
And also her girlfriend Nellie -

65
00:04:49,460 --> 00:04:51,680
When a good man came along,

66
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,600
Nina and Nellie jumped in strong.

67
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,740
But Capa's attempts always went bad,

68
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,860
Which made Mama very sad.

69
00:05:08,860 --> 00:05:11,080
"All that's in our Capa's head

70
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,420
are rags"* - our Mama said
*(slang for fashion)

71
00:05:13,420 --> 00:05:16,800
Only rags and only dancing

72
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,240
and with foreigners romancing.

73
00:05:34,460 --> 00:05:37,560
But then for Capa came a chance

74
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,940
to get a "real" man to romance.

75
00:05:39,940 --> 00:05:42,600
He dropped in out of the blue,

76
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:47,520
followed her wherever she tread,

77
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:53,260
crawled to every rendezvous,

78
00:05:54,060 --> 00:05:57,940
and he even lost his head.*
*(fell in love)

79
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,720
He was Capa's luck and joy.

80
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,340
He had a dacha, that old boy,

81
00:06:11,340 --> 00:06:13,620
Which he offered out to let

82
00:06:13,620 --> 00:06:16,540
It brought in coins, as one may say,

83
00:06:16,980 --> 00:06:22,280
that the hens can't peck away*
*(he has money to burn)

84
00:06:26,860 --> 00:06:30,200
Our Capa could only dream

85
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,280
of life with a man like him.

86
00:06:34,060 --> 00:06:37,380
He would dress her like a queen,

87
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,540
He would worship at her feet,

88
00:06:42,540 --> 00:06:45,940
He'd carry her in his arms*
*(spoil her)

89
00:06:45,940 --> 00:06:48,760
But he let down Mum and Dad,

90
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,960
Didn't keep his promises at all:

91
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,040
After just a month, our Capa

92
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,700
was tossed away*, and he was gone.
*(abandoned)

93
00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:58,960
Our poor Capa was left stranded,

94
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,880
And on Papa's neck she landed.*
*(freeloaded off him)

95
00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:07,560
Father had to pull* the entire household
*(pay all the bills)

96
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,320
Papa got totally worn out.

97
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,660
So he chose to allow leftward*
*(to the black market)

98
00:07:13,660 --> 00:07:17,035
some refrigerators to go.*
*(sold them illegally)

99
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,400
Well, those fridges left their places,

100
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,900
but they later found the traces.

101
00:07:28,900 --> 00:07:31,120
And our Papa is afraid now

102
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,620
that they'll come and sweep him up.*
*(arrest him)

103
00:07:36,780 --> 00:07:40,880
Papa knows: his mean deputy
always looks at him askance.

104
00:07:41,100 --> 00:07:45,240
He would eat Papa for breakfast
if he ever got the chance.

105
00:07:45,620 --> 00:07:48,120
He hasn't eaten him just yet,

106
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,320
but for some reason, he's set

107
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,040
on releasing leaks* on Papa
*(compromising information)

108
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:56,480
and cutting the ground from
under his feet.

109
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,020
He showed his true character
the other day:

110
00:08:01,020 --> 00:08:04,160
Sicced an auditor on Papa
straightaway.

111
00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:10,940
To avoid scandal and shame,
Papa concluded

112
00:08:10,940 --> 00:08:14,260
That he'd grease* the auditor
if he intruded.
*(bribe)

113
00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:21,900
Papa said: the auditor

114
00:08:21,900 --> 00:08:24,840
would have his palm greased*...
*(be bribed)

115
00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:28,740
and he'd then close his eyes,
and leave Papa in peace.

116
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:32,040
But I guess Papa fails sometimes
when he tries,

117
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,380
Since the auditor didn't want
to close his eyes.

118
00:08:35,580 --> 00:08:38,120
He refused to shut his eyes and stop

119
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,360
so Papa started sewing up*
*(covering up his misdeeds)

120
00:08:42,660 --> 00:08:45,460
Papa sewed himself up in a hurry

121
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,980
He was ever so full of worry

122
00:08:48,980 --> 00:08:52,160
But I guess that later, Papa
thought he should start being shrewd

123
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,900
and make sure he wasn't screwed.*
*(evade blame)

124
00:08:54,900 --> 00:08:57,240
Papa tried to wriggle out,

125
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,660
but in vain, and it looked grim.

126
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:02,320
"I suppose that now," said Capa,

127
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,280
"they are going to plant* him."
*(imprison)

128
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:13,860
We're decried by all our neighbors.

129
00:09:13,860 --> 00:09:15,760
One old turner named Fedya

130
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,060
for my folks has his own phrase:

131
00:09:18,060 --> 00:09:20,580
We are "parasites", he says.

132
00:09:21,020 --> 00:09:24,220
I asked him matter-of-factly:

133
00:09:24,220 --> 00:09:26,620
What are "parasites", exactly?

134
00:09:26,620 --> 00:09:30,380
He took my question in stride,
and replied:

135
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,580
It is Kolya, it is Capa,

136
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:38,060
it is Mama, it is Papa,

137
00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:43,540
it is my whole family -

138
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,300
all except the cat, and me.

139
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,120
That is all.

140
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,880
Goodbye!

141
00:09:52,940 --> 00:09:55,760
The End
