Charlie, don't wake me up!
8
00:00:39,056 --> 00:00:40,341
Oh, Charlie!
9
00:00:41,797 --> 00:00:45,181
Charlie, Charlie,
the lights are burning!
10
00:00:45,182 --> 00:00:48,382
Charlie, Charlie,
Paris is alive with noise!
11
00:01:41,573 --> 00:01:43,692
You're Krylov!
12
00:01:44,220 --> 00:01:47,478
That is correct. By your leave.
13
00:01:48,038 --> 00:01:53,909
Right... right...
that's not it... no...
14
00:02:05,256 --> 00:02:06,401
I'm Lucy.
15
00:02:06,502 --> 00:02:09,552
Lucy? That is, Ludmila Ruslanovna?
16
00:02:09,667 --> 00:02:11,021
By no means!
17
00:02:12,122 --> 00:02:14,222
But your fables are beautiful.
18
00:02:14,367 --> 00:02:17,589
Thank you, thank you.
I am much obliged.
19
00:02:17,690 --> 00:02:19,789
There's no need for that.
20
00:02:19,790 --> 00:02:23,690
Instead, you would do well to ponder
more over your wonderful creations.
21
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,776
Even the best of them.
For instance, you may say:
22
00:02:27,082 --> 00:02:28,782
"The Dragonfly and the Ant"...
23
00:02:28,783 --> 00:02:33,083
Excuse me, did I say anything, miss?
24
00:02:34,130 --> 00:02:35,273
Let us see.
25
00:02:35,913 --> 00:02:40,762
What is it that made you
so dislike my creations?
26
00:02:44,101 --> 00:02:47,861
That's my dolly Kate. She loves to drink
tea in the theatre at nights.
27
00:02:49,653 --> 00:02:51,758
But we are talking about something else.
28
00:02:52,860 --> 00:02:56,940
Now... just a moment... now...
29
00:03:07,968 --> 00:03:11,382
Look, just look at what's
going to happen now!
30
00:03:13,585 --> 00:03:16,531
What else can happen here, Lucy?
31
00:03:16,682 --> 00:03:20,980
She sang and danced throughout
the whole summer.
32
00:03:21,131 --> 00:03:23,883
And only now has she stopped to think...
33
00:03:24,136 --> 00:03:27,304
She never did prepare for winter,
poor thing.
34
00:03:27,405 --> 00:03:29,005
So, Ant is the good one?
35
00:03:29,141 --> 00:03:31,777
He is! He's a hard worker.
36
00:03:31,928 --> 00:03:36,528
See, he's fixing up a
sixth boot for himself.
37
00:03:37,679 --> 00:03:41,029
Don't abandon me, friend cherished!
38
00:03:41,230 --> 00:03:44,030
I'll bounce back; don't let me perish.
39
00:03:44,131 --> 00:03:47,231
Give me shelter, food, and drink
40
00:03:47,332 --> 00:03:51,432
For a half-year,
till the Spring.
41
00:03:54,833 --> 00:03:58,633
You've been gaily
Singing daily;
42
00:03:58,784 --> 00:04:04,334
Now, you'll have your chance
To dance. A-ha-ha-ha-ha!
43
00:04:05,712 --> 00:04:07,042
You see!
44
00:04:07,393 --> 00:04:12,243
He looks nice, but it turns out
he's not so nice after all.
45
00:04:12,443 --> 00:04:17,393
Take me: I'll grow up,
become a ballerina...
46
00:04:18,048 --> 00:04:21,069
And then what? Should I also suffer?
47
00:04:21,348 --> 00:04:23,769
Well, that is...
48
00:04:23,856 --> 00:04:25,877
But what should I do, Lucy?
49
00:04:25,978 --> 00:04:27,578
Give me the drawstring.
50
00:04:43,904 --> 00:04:46,329
That's how it should be.
- Is it?
51
00:04:46,561 --> 00:04:50,385
Yes! Yes, yes. Only like this!
52
00:04:51,065 --> 00:04:54,841
And everything will be
good and joyful!...
53
00:05:07,492 --> 00:05:09,742
A lively dance in Paris ought
54
00:05:10,493 --> 00:05:13,043
Not be cotillion, nor gavotte,
55
00:05:13,194 --> 00:05:16,194
But be this dance of urban streets
beneath roofs sparkling and free.
56
00:05:16,295 --> 00:05:17,545
Dance, all Paris!
57
00:05:23,195 --> 00:05:26,395
But be this dance, this dance, this
dance of moonlit roofs free,
58
00:05:26,496 --> 00:05:27,796
Dance, all Paris!
59
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:13,845
Lucy, Lucy, where's the moral?
60
00:06:14,145 --> 00:06:16,800
There is no fable without a moral.
61
00:06:16,901 --> 00:06:18,401
Moral, moral, moral...
62
00:06:18,494 --> 00:06:25,817
The moral's simple - there are evil ants.
But it's better when they're good.
63
00:06:26,409 --> 00:06:30,561
What an extraordinarily
smart girl you are.
64
00:06:33,602 --> 00:06:36,338
So, why are you living in Paris?
65
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:38,539
Well, you probably know...
66
00:06:38,699 --> 00:06:40,881
There was a revolution in Russia,
- Is that so...
67
00:06:40,982 --> 00:06:43,382
- Dad and mom fled from there...
- Ah...
68
00:06:43,982 --> 00:06:45,566
Why, do you live there?
69
00:06:45,767 --> 00:06:47,317
Mostly there.
70
00:06:47,561 --> 00:06:50,495
I have friends there. Say, Pushkin,
71
00:06:50,596 --> 00:06:55,146
Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol...
lots of them.
72
00:07:43,346 --> 00:07:48,396
Now, Aleksandr Sergeyevich Pushkin
praised my fables a lot.
73
00:07:48,647 --> 00:07:50,847
Well, he also has peculiarities...
74
00:07:51,244 --> 00:07:53,604
- Pushkin does?
- Yes.
75
00:07:54,213 --> 00:07:55,266
Yes. For example...
76
00:07:55,717 --> 00:07:59,341
Clouds are surging,
clouds are swerving;
77
00:07:59,442 --> 00:08:00,942
Indiscernible, the moon
78
00:08:01,043 --> 00:08:03,793
Lights the snowstorm madly swirling;
79
00:08:03,894 --> 00:08:06,844
Sky's all darkness, night's all gloom.
80
00:08:06,942 --> 00:08:09,616
How did he see all that
if "the night's all gloom"?!
81
00:08:09,717 --> 00:08:12,017
Oh, dear, I should ask him...
82
00:08:12,118 --> 00:08:16,518
I'll ask.
I will most certainly ask him.
83
00:08:17,082 --> 00:08:19,667
But "Ruslan and Ludmila" is wonderful!
84
00:08:20,140 --> 00:08:24,475
And which of my works do you like?
85
00:08:25,281 --> 00:08:26,296
Everything!
86
00:08:26,397 --> 00:08:30,097
Oh, dearie me. Oh, dearie me!
87
00:08:31,338 --> 00:08:33,251
Look.
88
00:08:47,077 --> 00:08:49,158
Hey tell, old man,
89
00:08:49,659 --> 00:08:54,809
had we a cause
When Moscow, razed by fire, once was
90
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,810
Given up to Frenchman's blow?
91
00:08:58,905 --> 00:09:00,550
Just what are you trying to pull here?!
92
00:09:00,651 --> 00:09:04,701
That is Lermontov!
Lermontov wrote that.
93
00:09:04,802 --> 00:09:07,052
It is called "Borodino".
94
00:09:07,231 --> 00:09:09,081
It's about the Russian-French war.
95
00:09:09,232 --> 00:09:13,332
Frenchmen wouldn't be glad
to hear it,
96
00:09:13,433 --> 00:09:15,583
and you live in Paris!
97
00:09:15,684 --> 00:09:18,884
Confused. Confused, what can I say!
98
00:09:19,021 --> 00:09:20,965
Kate is fooling around.
99
00:09:21,619 --> 00:09:23,265
If she's fooling around, then hang her!
100
00:09:23,416 --> 00:09:25,916
In China we do five at a time...
101
00:09:28,341 --> 00:09:34,093
I learned Russian only
when you read me fables aloud...
102
00:09:34,194 --> 00:09:37,144
We in China honour elders...
103
00:09:39,997 --> 00:09:44,211
but you teach him how to write fables.
You're a bad girl.
104
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:49,882
Quiet! Why do you pick on the girl?
105
00:09:49,883 --> 00:09:52,983
I will send you back to China,
you registered parcel!
106
00:09:53,373 --> 00:09:54,962
Oh, don't do it.
Don't do it, grandpa!
107
00:09:55,063 --> 00:09:56,563
I love her very much!
108
00:09:56,763 --> 00:10:00,463
"Love"... heh, you love everyone...
109
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,174
Let me, let me rather
read you something else...
110
00:10:05,045 --> 00:10:08,194
Well, actually... I have to get going.
111
00:10:08,295 --> 00:10:11,095
Wait. Wait.
112
00:10:14,426 --> 00:10:16,910
Here. Look.
113
00:10:17,261 --> 00:10:21,011
What is this thing?
114
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,013
Is it to grind coffee?
115
00:10:33,444 --> 00:10:37,671
The fable "The Dradonfly and the Ant"
116
00:10:37,772 --> 00:10:40,772
Once, a playul Dragonfly
117
00:10:40,973 --> 00:10:44,073
Spent all summer gaily singing;
118
00:10:44,224 --> 00:10:47,674
...ly singing ...ly singing
...ly singing...
119
00:10:47,929 --> 00:10:51,894
Oh no, it's stuck... but it can go on.
120
00:10:52,595 --> 00:10:55,595
This is a gramophone.
121
00:10:55,696 --> 00:10:56,846
What a thing!
122
00:10:58,547 --> 00:11:01,047
What a fine thing!
123
00:11:01,158 --> 00:11:03,400
Alexandr Sergeyevich
would have likely...
124
00:11:04,651 --> 00:11:07,501
laughed himself silly!...
125
00:11:08,629 --> 00:11:11,450
You know what, take it.
126
00:11:12,251 --> 00:11:14,401
That's for you, from us.
127
00:11:14,531 --> 00:11:18,402

128
00:11:37,437 --> 00:11:38,612
He forgot it.
129
