Hi!

They'll be a couple of minutes.

Right.

- Is that OK with you?

- Yeah.

Max, are you coming?

Just a minute.

How are you?

Do you have a novel?

No.

People aren't buying this kind

of thing at the moment.

They want blockbusters -

big narratives.

Do you have a novel?

No.

SHORT STORIES:

a Mikhail Segal film

like the way they redesigned it.

It used to be...

Used to be a...

FIX-IT-ALL

like the way they redesigned it.

It used to be a kids cafe.

Excuse me a moment.

Hi!

Whew! Traffic...

You got here all right?

Bumper-to-bumper at the park

like the way they redesigned it.

A kids cafe, remember?

- No, I don't.

- The place to come for ice cream.

Served in silver goblets.

Nothing like that for kids now.

- A play center at the supermall.

- Not the same.

Are you ready to order?

- A capuccino.

- Americana. What desserts do you have?

- Try Elegy.

- Elegy?

- Have you ever had

our Fruit Delight? - No.

It's like Elegy,

but without the fruit.

I'll think about it.

Do you have ice cream

in silver goblets?

Sure, 30 rubles a scoop.

Same or different? Avors.

I'll have an espresso and

one scoop of ice cream, please.

Excuse me...!

- You said later.

- He said he'd think about it.

I'll have the Elegy...

Could I have a look at it first?

So, the only difference is the the fruit?

Elegy is flavored with liquor.

The Delight, then.

What did you order?

Delight.

Nice place, isn't it? Modern.

It's the only place around

with an European vibe.

Wrong vibe can really

kill the conversation, right?

You are very thorough. Like it.

Good organization

always pays off in the end.

A friends mom recommended you.

You're a trendsetter.

We want it to be really special.

Can imagine the offers you had.

Ghastly, most of it.

We want something different.

And we'd like to plan it all out.

Yes, you're clearly

a modern couple.

You've chosen this

modern place...

Do you mind if we

move over there?

Why did we move?

We're going to talk for a while,

so ambience is important.

If you stayed there,

what would you see?

- The window.

- Right. And what's beyond?

- A store.

- Which store?

Fix-It-All".

And buses running

up and down the street.

- Not very feng shui, is it?

- Right.

Now, you see a bookcase.

Sunlight falling across the room.

A completely different experience.

Feng shui is pretty cool!

Back when worked

in Moscow...

You used to work

in Moscow?

We're across the street

from Fix-It-All...

Please meet Oleg.

- Hello!

- Hi!

Here's to health and prosperity

To you and your posterity!

Of course, it's not set in stone.

The most important thing

for us is knowing exactly

what is going to

happen when.

Like recently,

at my friend's wedding-

at first, everything

was great,

but then the mc sang

something utterly...

Out of the question.

That's way outside

Oleg's vocabulary.

Could play jazz.

Jazz is cool, classy,

but not cringe-making.

We'd go with an accordion

if it there's a place for it.

We could cope with that.

We just want to be prepared.

Have it all planned

to the minute. Let's start.

Oleg, stay close.

I've just the person for you.

A great singer who does jazz

and the rest!

Hi! Can you come to the

cogwheel factory?

Opposite fix-it-all"?

You can? Great.

Have you chosen a venue?

We've been thinking

about Poultry.

Modern place. I've done

weddings there before.

Takes about 100 guests.

- We'll kickoff at 3 pm.

- Why?

Because of the poplars.

They cast a shadow.

When you step out of the limo...

You want the photos to turn

out well, don't you? - Of course!

The sun will be over the river.
