Get off, please.
I have a pass.
Look at him.
You put a pair of glasses on,
pretend to be an intellectual,
and you're too miserly to pay
three roubles for a ticket?
So, show me your pass,
or get off the tram.
Stop the tram!
Leave him alone.
Take this.
You should be ashamed
of yourself, young man.
Intellectual!
Lout!
Hooligan! Lout!
People like you...
Wretched intellectual!
Why the long face?
What's up now?
Murik, I need some money.
What did I tell you last time?
I told you not to come to me
with this obscenity again. Never!
Didn't I tell you that?
I'm telling you honestly
what I need the money for.
It's nice to know
you're not decieving me,
but I'm not giving you
any money, do you understand?
I went to the other end of town,
to Haly-Galy's.
Even though I was having
really violent withdrawal symptoms
as a rule they come
on the second day without...
I got off a stop
before I needed to.
I had to collect my thoughts
about what I was going to say
and to make sure
the house wasn't being watched.
I already owed Galya
for four doses,
and she had already
sworn three times
that I wouldn't get round her
like that again.
Listen, PiK.
Where do you think you are,
in heaven?
It's like you can't live
without the high
and you're too scared
to start thieving?
There's lots of you
and only one of me.
What am I supposed to do?
To pay the man with my body?
Listen, PiK.
Don't come back here again
without the readies.
I'll set the dogs on you.
Got it?
I could, of course,
have phoned beforehand.
That would also have been
less dangerous.
But, that would have meant
being left with nothing, for sure.
And with the surprise visit
I still had some chance.
It would be good
if Galya wasn't at home,
but Valya was,
Galya's younger sister,
who was also in the know,
but wasn't such a b*tch yet.
if Valya wasn't there,
but Gerasim was,
Valya's fella, alone.
He's a f***ed up old Junky,
but a big heart.
And it would be ideal
if the whole gang was there.
Then it would be easy
to shoot up on the sly.
The artist presented a series of
works called "Temporary presence".
A compressor inflates
shapeless forms with the air,
turning them into men and women.
And in a second
the air is blown out.
The same air gives life
and takes it away.
You're watching
"The Culture news".
I stopped about a hundred metres
from the cherished house
and sat down on a bench to catch
my breath and have a look around.
Sitting was even
more difficult than walking.
To my left I saw a swing
and I suddenly and desperately
wanted to have a swing.
Picky-Wicky, brother.
How's it going?
That was Gerasim.
