Stop! This way.

What's this here?

- A tap.

- I can see that. What kind?

- It's to water.

- Good. It's a watering tap!

And what comes out of this tap?

- Water.

- Sure as hell it's not beer.

A spurt of water as thin as a match

ends up in a leakage of

Comrade mechanic!

- Over here! The 9th floor!

- On my way!

Wait a second, Afanasy Nikolayevich.

I'll wind the tap closed.

Wait! This is Belikov's sector.

He's got his own students.

Cm'on!

Semyon! Start the elevator!

Need to get to the 9th floor!

Can't do that.

Come back after lunch.

Outrageous! He's been fixing it

for 3 days.

Right, we'll come back after lunch.

Afanasy Nikolayevich, water's

flooding the apartment up there.

- Wrench!

- I only twisted it slightly, and...

'Twisted it'! Wrench! Hurry up!

Give him the wrench!

All I needed is this pain

in the ass.

Where do you work anyways,

Archimedes?

In the planetarium.

What if I'd tried to twist one

of your microscopes?

- A catastrophe.

- See what I mean? Cm'on, wiseguys.

Well, grandpa, I turned off your

water main.

And don't you attempt to open

the main tap.

When'll you open it?

Hell knows. There're no 'o' rings

at the warehouse.

- What am I supposed to do?

- Think!

You're an astronomer, aren't you?

- Maybe you could get one someplace?

- Where would I get it?

- I'm no Magic Gold Fish.

- I'll be much obliged.

Get me my magic case, Vova.

Think I had something like that

in store. Just one.

My own personal one.

Cost me 2.80. It's made in Japan.

There.

- Sly dog!

- Who, me?

We'd rather like milk soup

and potato cutlets.

You talk too much.

Well hey there!

- You work here now?

- 81 kopecks.

These are on me.

Them my students.

Hello.

It'll be 2 rubles 43 kopecks.

Why aren't you a foreman yet?

They won't make you?

Who, me? They offered me a thousand

times. But what do I need it for?

Your ambitions are completely

atrophied.

- Wha..?

- You've no urge to become famous.

How can a foreman be famous?

He's no cosmonaut or hockey

player.

A foreman has heaps of work

and a fixed salary.

Whereas I'm paid piece rate.

- Plus overwork.

- Plus tips.

Archimedes! He can use

his brains alright.

Here's for the movie tickets.

Thanks.

No thanks. And I'll give you back

- You so rich, eh?

- Can't say we're poor.

You think I'm poor?

- I let them go.

- What'd you mean, you let them go?

They learned fast.

Clever guys.

Borschov, wait!

- Do you realize you...

- Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- You never get tired of joking.

- Who's joking?

Why do you hang around here?

I let you go, so off you go.

We ask to be transferred to another

specialist.

We refuse to work with Borschov.

- Why?
