- Maybe A police check?

Go ahead!

That's it. It's full up.

Close it.

You said that we'd be riding

an empty tank!

- What slime!

- Same as in Turkey.

Come on!

Move it!

Hey! Wait!

Nikolai Grigorievich, don't you

think that it is pointless?

- So they made it out through the pipe?

- Then tell me where they are!

- There's no hay here.

- You're telling me!

You sure it isn't your memory again

playing tricks?

- Maybe it's not in a haystack?

- I'm going to clobber you!

Say, this is high grade cement.

You can't wash the stuff off.

- Listen, why did you break out?

- Everybody was, so I did, too.

He'll whack him,

or lightning strike me dead!

You better tell him, Raspy,

that it wasn't part of the deal.

You tell him himself.

Get out of here! Did you hear

what I said? Out! Go on!

You're a bad man, Cross-eyes.

You're just mean.

He's bound to sell out.

You hear, Docent?

He'll squeal right away.

Okay, we'd better keep him with us.

- Stop him!

- Hey, you!

Come on back.

How long were you in for?

I got a year.

Now you're going

to get three more years.

For breaking out. Article 188.

Docent! Look at that!

What do we do?

- We'll go dressed like this.

- Like this?

- They'll pick us up.

- We go dressed like this!

Let people think

we're on a track team.

Come on!

Clear the track, grandpa!

See you at the Olympic games!

Salaam aleichem!

Yes, what can I do for you?

Just a second.

- Slavin sends greetings.

- But who's Slavin?

- Vladimir Slavin.

- I don't know him. What d'you want?

- They made a reservation for us.

- How many of you?

Three...

That is, four...

There's one too many.

We'll manage somehow.

May I see your papers?

The coach will bring them tonight.

- What club are you running for, guys?

- Reserves of Labour.

- We have the keys!

- It's a habit.

What about groceries?

Yes, I'm starved.

It's chow-time at the camp.

Macaroni...

You just stay put.

I'll be right back.

Would you be so kind

as to lend me a pair of pants

for a few minutes? Our clothes are on

the way, but I've got to go out...

You want a game of chess?

When I come back.

Police station.

- Lieutenant Slavin?

- No one by That name here.

- What do you mean?

- I mean What I said.

- I'm Docent.

- Congratulations.

- Didn't they tell you I would call?

- What about?

- Hey, boy, what town is this?

- Novokassimsk.

- And Alibakan?

- Oh, it's a long way. 20 kilometers.

- Sit down.

- Thank you, I'd rather stand.

I'm from Moscow. I'm your colleague.

I'm principal of Kindergarten 82.

- There're four of us.

- All of you principals?

- In a way...

- Well, tell me your problem.

You see, a load of cement was poured

in a tank truck we were riding in.
