the cameras.

Can't we do it in the morning?

A normal man doesn't work in

the evenings.

I even brough araka with me.

What araka? A true scientist

can't miss an entire night.

Yes, he can't. When we filmed in Africa

twenty hours a day no one whined.

Ah, Ahsar. The equipment -

it's very expensive, so you'll be

watching it, while we

set up the cameras.

Watching? There's no one here.

I don't even lock the doors.

- For a separate fee, obviously.

- Nevermind, go on.

Thank you.

Why did you become an entomologist?

It's a prestigious occupation in the US.

Even Nabokov was

interested in entomology.

Well, if Nabokov himself...

Why not a doctor, as your dad?

I tried studying,

but didn't feel anything for it.

Did you fall unconscious

during your first autopsy?

Yep.

Landed with my head right

inside the intestines.

No way. Yuck.

The head got stuck, they

pulled me by my feet.

They called the cops and firemen.

And then?

Then? That's it! I've been

like that ever since.

It was a minor joke, Zhenya.

- Can I laugh now?

Yep.

Thanks.

Blissus leucopterus!

What's that?

An aspirator.

It works like a vacuum cleaner.

Michael, what's wrong?

Michael!

- Call 911.

- What 911?! Breathe!

I won't do a mouth-to-mouth breathing.

Spit it out!

I swallowed it.

What was it?

A chinch bug

...of the lygaeidae family.

Have you ever used

this piece of junk before?

A thousand times.

You haven't even peeled off a price tag.

There was a ladder.

Imagine your butt sticking

out of the rocks

and a butterfly is sitting on top of it.

Yes, yes, ok?

You know, it's my first time

catching insects,

and we visited Africa with

Jessica as tourists.

I can't do a single thing!

Is this what you wanted to hear?

Is it? Why the hell did you

come with me in the first place?

It's your dad who called up my mom

asking to find someone to

keep an eye on his boyscout, who

all of a sudden rushed to

Ossetia.

- Don't even continue.

But frankly, I just wanted to

see the guy whom I

had a crush on in high school.

Yeah, and he was blind and

didn't pay attention to how I

followed him. Then he

left for America, and I was writing

letters for three years and never

received a single answer.

I didn't receive any letters.

We moved frequently.

And Jessica has been my girlfriend

since high school.

We'll soon be engaged.

Well, I also have a very cool

boyfriend you can only dream of.

I don't dream of men.

Let's go on, boyscout.

So you plan to leave your

cameras throughout entire Ossetia?

I didn't invite you here.

Let's sort it out once and for all

who's helping whom.

Where did you get them from?

Our counter-intelligence officer
