The Golden Calf Page #3

---

As long as any type of coinage

wanders over the country...

...then there must be people

who have a lot of it.

There are very wealthy people.

But do you know them?

Can you give me the name and address

of one undercover millionaire?

Even the Commissariat of Finance

with its all-powerful taxing apparatus...

...cannot find a Soviet millionaire.

And yet the millionaire may be sitting

at the adjoining table, drinking cheap beer.

That is what hurts!

I know such a millionaire.

Word of honor, Monsieur Bender...

Go on, go on.

I apply only on Saturdays.

Don't waste my time.

Listen, Shura, if you have definitely decided

to use the French language, then...

...don't call me monsieur but citoyen,

which means 'citizen'.

By the way, what is your millionaire's address?

He lives in Chernomorsk.

Why, of course, just as I thought.

Chernomorsk!

There even in pre-revolution days they...

...called a man with 10 thousand a millionaire.

While now... I can Imagine!

No, that's nonsense!

But no, let me tell you.

This is a genuine millionaire.

Not long ago...

I had the occasion to spend some time

in the house of correction over there...

What did you say was the name

of your underground millionaire?

- Koreiko.

- A splendid name.

Have I any gray hair?

- No, sir! - There will be!

Great battles are ahead of us.

You, too, will become gray, Balaganov!

Why? How did you put it --...

...he'll bring it himself

on a little saucer with a blue border?

For me on a little saucer.

For you on a little plate.

But how about Rio de Janeiro?

I want to have white pants too.

Rio de Janeiro is the delicate dream

of my childhood.

Don't you touch it with your dirty paws.

Now, back to bosoms,

as Guy de Maupassant used to say!

The troops must arrive in Chernomorsk.

Service uniforms.

Bugle 'advance'!

I will command the parade!

"We're born to build reality from fair tale,

to vanquish sky and conquer space beyond..."

You're listening to 'Comintern Radio'

broadcasting from Moscow.

Here is the latest news

An airplane 'Wings of the Soviets'

completed round-trip flight...

...Moscow-Berlin-Paris-Rome-

-London-Berlin-Warsaw-Moscow...

...'College of Northern Peoples' is reorganized

to become 'University of Peoples of the North' ...

...the first in the world...

Twins of domestic leather haberdashery!

...the first all-union convention

of young pioneers opened in Moscow...

...French Prime-minister Poincare has resigned...

An original construction.

The dawn of motoring.

Hi, how are you!

Do you see, what can be made

out of a simple Singer Sewing Machine?

A slight adaptation -- and you would have

an excellent bailing machine for a collective farm.
