Birthday Girl Page #3

Nadia's cousins?

No, no, no, Alexei

doesn't speak English.

We are actors.

Although he is

actor/musician.

He is very, very good.

I'm not so good.

I just strum along.

He makes me look like

a retard.

He smokes me.

No, I don't mean

he "smokes" me... you know?

What?

You... You say "smoke"

in England?

No.

No, okay. So I can say

"he smokes me," huh?

So I come to England with

other actors to make shows.

And I meet this crazy guy

from Novgorod.

I tell him about you, about

chicken, and birthday cake.

And here we are!

So how... how long

will you be in England?

Oh, plans.

Come on.

Plans are for architects,

politicians, not for us.

Uh, but you must have

a visa or something?

Are you asking me

for my documents?

- No.

- Yes, you are...

Get this.

He's asking me for my passport.

Okay, John, yes.

I've put on a few pounds.

Come on, John.

Don't tease him.

John, please.

Can I have a light?

So... John, you have nothing

to say to your fiance?

Maybe to a wife of 40 years,

I can understand.

But... come on. You speak and I

will translate if you want, okay?

I will help you.

Hello.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Yuri:
"Hello. " She say

"hello" to you, John.

It's good.

Go for it.

Um...

Do you like England?

That's a classic.

Do you like England?

Yes.

Hey, whew!

Thanks God she say "yes"!

Go, go, go, go.

Can't think

of anything.

Tell him

I have a secret to tell.

Okay, now, Nadia...

she has secret to tell.

What?

Okay, she says that

she watched you at airport...

I saw you standing there

by the gate...

She says,

When I was a little girl,

my father had these beautiful,

old glasses for watching the birds.

Binoculars.

Binoculars. Okay.

That he had kept from the war.

I would pretend binoculars

was a camera,

and I would take pictures

of the things I loved.

The day before

I left Russia,

my father gave me

the old binoculars...

And he said that when I was to

see you, I was to stand far away...

And look at you

through the binoculars...

and if you were a bad person,

I could run away.

She say,

She took picture...

In the head.

Took mental picture.

Okay. Take picture.

Closer. Closer.

Okay.

Hey! Is like

Hollywood, eh? Come on.

A 1... 2... 3! 3!

Ahh!

John.

John.

John.

Huh?

John...

John, John, John,

John, John!

John! We can see you.

Come in. Come in.

Alexei:
John.

Johnny!

Some rabbit.

Hangover medicine

for yesterday.

- You want some?

- No. No, thank you.

Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!

Hey, John! John!

Hey, John!

Look... John!

You've got something

on your face.

Stop that! That hurt!

One... two... three!

I won!

I won!

I won! I won!

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

What are you doing?!

I couldn't breathe!

You bastard!
