reading is

the best medicine.

I do not have time to eat.

I have another room to finish.

It should be ready for tomorrow.

Stay supper tomorrow then

and if it is too late,

you will sleep here.

Pardon?

You've distracted.

Splendide!

If I may so express myself,

it is a true work of art.

You're an impostor,

I knew it.

An impostor?

You are presented

as a simple worker,

but I see that you are

resourceful.

And I intend to profit from it.

There is little time

I had the misfortune

receive

a brick inheritance.

It is operated

a boy competent

but particularly dishonest

responding on behalf of Proshko.

I want it back

on the right path

you confident in accounting.

The salary

are 50 rubles per month,

free housing

the site of the brickworks.

It is forbidden to stay there,

but if the job is promising,

buy fake papers

and kiss the Cross.

It's clever.

I never papers.

Childless, a man can not

look anyone in the face.

He lost his pride.

As a woman,

when her husband regrowth.

Sleep with a woman sterile?

I spent 5 years with you

what it gave me?

An empty bed.

Raisl, whither goest thou?

Find someone who loves me.

And also ...

Something

concerns me even more.

Girl!

Why?

She makes eyes.

Sometimes you need to know

sacrifices.

Accept the job.

Do you ...

romance, Yakov Ivanovich?

How?

- Want herring?

- Oh, no.

But take it back in,

please.

At times ...

I think that sometimes

let love fly away.

Like a cloud,

a day of high winds.

If you are a little too ...

shy.

As you can see ...

after the appearance of this house,

I'll never be penniless.

That is certain.

I know you and I

we come from different backgrounds.

What could make you doubt

opportunities

a lasting relationship.

Even if you have the desire

at heart.

I've been cool.

Yes, I see. Thank you.

I thought ...

it would be fair

put you at ease.

I love you, Yakov?

Just a little.

I'm sorry, Zinaida,

I do not like you.

But you do not lose anything.

I am ignorant, indecisive

and my uncertain future ...

Yakov Ivanovich

please.

For heaven's sake,

stop being so serious.

Kiss Me.

I defy you.

I know my leg is ugly.

But my face ...

sometimes is nice.

Often, I see

that men notice me.

Even young.

Want to see my room?

Forgive me ...

to put it bluntly.

If you are innocent,

it is better not continue.

Only mark of respect.

In addition,

we must think of your father.

He would notice.

He has never seen.

Will you prepare

my room is right there.

With a Russian!

This is ridiculous.

If I told him that I was Jewish,

she scream

like a hunted animal.

I can not do that.

It is impossible.

On the other hand,

times are tough.

Undressing in a goy in

Dalton Trumbo

James Dalton Trumbo (December 9, 1905 – September 10, 1976) was an American screenwriter and novelist who scripted many award-winning films including Roman Holiday, Exodus, Spartacus, and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. One of the Hollywood Ten, he refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1947 during the committee's investigation of communist influences in the motion picture industry. He, along with the other members of the Hollywood Ten and hundreds of other industry professionals, was subsequently blacklisted by that industry. His talents as one of the top screenwriters allowed him to continue working clandestinely, producing work under other authors' names or pseudonyms. His uncredited work won two Academy Awards: for Roman Holiday (1953), which was given to a front writer, and for The Brave One (1956) which was awarded to a pseudonym of Trumbo's. When he was given public screen credit for both Exodus and Spartacus in 1960, this marked the beginning of the end of the Hollywood Blacklist for Trumbo and other screenwriters. He finally was given full credit by the Writers' Guild for all his achievements, the work of which encompassed six decades of screenwriting. more…
