He always said:
"Children,

spread your wings and fly!"

Is it interesting to be a mailman?

Everything is interesting to me.

What "everything"?

Give me an example.

Well... not everything.

What's going on?

What are you both talking about?

Alex, can you tell me?

Or you, Max?

I don't know.

As a matter of fact,

only you know what's going on...

...and nobody else.

Me? No.

I don't know.

But on the other

hand I might know...

See?

I have always known...

Yes, I know.

Tell me what you know

that I don't know... Tell me!

I might tell you...

...if you would live here.

Just a little bit.

Dad, when are we going home?

I don't know.

Go and play.

It's still early.

- I've had enough playing.

- Go and play.

What do you say about this?

She had enough of it.

Three daughters. It's like

having three more wives...

You mind if I have another?

Forget about it Liza,

I'm going to wash them.

It doesn't bother me, Vera.

Look at her.

If she wants... She can stay

like that all afternoon.

If she wants.

- Stand up, Dad.

- I will.

Everything is normal.

Everything is under control.

Stand up, Dad.

Come on kids, let's have some tea.

Let's meet somewhere.

- Where are you at?

- At the train station.

- Come over.

- No, I don't want to.

But we have guests.

Georgy?

- Yes. With Max and Viktor.

- OK.

Take Georgy's car.

I'll be waiting for you.

OK. I will.

- Dad, who was on the phone?

- Uncle Robert. Do you remember him?

He's waiting. Business.

- May I take your car?

- The keys are in the ignition.

- Why isn't your friend coming over?

- He doesn't know the way.

- Dad, I want to go with you.

- Come on.

- I want to go too.

- No sweetie, you stay here.

I'm going anyway.

I've said no.

What does he want?

- Who?

- Uncle Robert.

Actually we're going to meet

Uncle Mark, not Robert.

Then why did you say Uncle Robert?

I had no other choice.

Do you like him?

Who?

Uncle Robert.

Of course. We're friends...

...we work together.

You know that.

I hate him.

Why do you hate him?

He came to our house.

When?

When you went to make money.

And why didn't you

tell me until now?

I don't know.

Mom said that she was going

to take us to see the circus.

But then she changed her mind.

We went there with Nina.

He was home when we came back.

I waited all night for you.

You were gambling at

the casino all night.

I didn't find a car.

So what happened?

Vera is pregnant. It's not my child.

She told me yesterday.

And what are you going

to do about that?

I'm afraid that I

am going to kill her.

How many months?

I don't know... a

couple of months I think.

Oh God!

Mark, what's going on?

What's to be done?

It's going on what's going on.
