Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears Page #2

---

You're such a liar!

Stop teaching me how to live

my life.

You know, you're quite a catch.

A car, a place in the country...

If I had gotten to you first...

You're not my type.

As for the place in the country,

it's not much more than a cabin.

Oh yeah? That doesn't suit us.

Turn around!

Stop frightening her.

Can't you see how worried she is?

There's nothing to be scared of.

You don't have to marry him at all.

Why talk about marriage?

You're just guests for the weekend.

Come on.

My parents.

Ludmilla.

And Katerina. This is Tossia.

How are you?

In '33 she came

to our factory.

And she had only one suitcase,

that was all.

Mother, please, don't butt in.

I'm barely making

We'll help you get by.

In two months

I'll be at the sixth level.

Out of the way!

This is the black currant bush

I planted last year.

These are strawberries,

over there, gooseberries.

Here we'll have an apple tree.

Why don't you grow cabbages

over there, to have it all year round?

You're right, we'll do it.

- This is great...

- What's so great?

I take one look at all this

and it depresses me.

I'd kill myself rather

than live here.

Everything's decided in advance.

You save up to buy a TV set,

after that it's a washing machine,

then a refrigerator.

You've got a twenty-year plan

like the government.

- What's so bad about it?

- What's good living like that?

Don't you understand that

we live in Moscow?

And Moscow's one big lottery,

you can hit the jackpot.

Moscow is full of diplomats,

artists, actors and poets.

Practically they're all men.

And we're women.

What do they need us for?

They have their own women.

But we're no worse than the others.

Where can we find those artists?

That's the point.

We have to find them.

Leave it to me.

Galia, get up! You told me

to wake you up at nine.

Girls, strip your beds today!

- What happened to the hot water?

- They turned it off.

Still sleeping? You're going

to sleep your life away.

It's Sunday. Why are you

bothering me so early?

- Where's Antonina?

- Went to the country with Kolia.

She's got bogged down in the

bourgeois mire. Where're you going?

I'm going to visit some relatives.

They sent me a card.

What relatives?

- Uncle Lyosha.

- Who's that?

He's a professor.

He's my mother's cousin.

I stayed at their place for a week

when I first came to Moscow.

Oh yeah, I remember now.

- Where are you going after that?

- To the Tretiakov Gallery.

After all I taught you about how

to get a man and you go there.

The only kind of men you're

going to find there are tourists.

I go to see the paintings,

not the men.

Well, I'm going to visit the Lenin

Library's biology department today.
