The Diamond Arm Page #2

on words

with the use of local idiomatic

expressions.

Comrades, its time!

The ship leaves in half an hour!

Those idiots claimed

he was unconscious.

So the poor fool has no idea

whats going on.

Thats perfect!

Whats this?

Nothing. Just contraband items

someones trying to smuggle in.

Dont worry.

Calm down... Drink some of this.

I never touch the stuff.

Havent you read about it in House

and Home? Doctors recommend it.

It will calm your nervous system

and soothe your arteries.

Drink up.

Captain,

what do I do now?

Nothing.

Just have fun and relax.

But dont breathe a word to anyone

about that contraband stuff.

And if someone wants to know

what happened to my arm?

Say you slipped, fell down

and got a closed fracture.

You were knocked out, and when you

came to, it was already in a cast.

I slipped, fell down,

a closed fracture.

I was knocked out,

I came to-a plaster cast.

And dont worry,

Ill notify everyone concerned.

Thank you very much.

Dont you remember a thing?

Be careful!

- Why? I remember very well.

- You remember what?

I slipped...

got knocked out.

When I came to, I had this cast.

Thats all!

- I wish I fell instead of you.

- Thanks. Thats nice of you, Guesha.

Please, take care of your arm, Senya.

Nadia is going to be upset.

Thats cest la vie,

as Frenchmen say.

Im sorry, friend!

Are you finished? Must I go already?

Yes, move along, youre in the way.

- Youre through with me?

- Thats right.

Could it be that the Captain didnt

notify the customs? What do I do now?

There he is! The stuff is safe.

As safe as in a safe.

And the key?

To quote our chiefs immortal words,

Once a halfwit always a halfwit.

- I dont get it.

- Youll get it. Lets go to the chief!

Hands off me!

- Where are we going?

- Home.

So you had a look at some foreign

ports?

Yes, foreign ports.

Where should I go?

To the police? Or home?

This is the way home.

I didnt give him my address.

Wheres he taking me?

Theres just one road here

that goes into the city.

I want to go to Morskaya Street,

number 21, apartment 9.

entrance three, third floor.

Whats wrong with your arm?

Why is he interested in my arm?

He looks suspicious.

I slipped, fell down, got knocked out,

came to already in a cast.

Excuse me, youre an amateur actor,

arent you?

Yes, thats right.

Why did I lie to him?

Why did he ask me?

Hes trying to get information from

me. He looks more and more suspicious.

Why did he turn there?

He should have kept going straight.

The highways blocked for repairs.

We should make a detour.

- Stop! Lets give them a lift!

- I cant. Its against regulations.

He didnt pick up those girls.
