Rodion 'Rudolph' Rachkov
Look, don't try to make me the villain. I feel like we're personages from some melodrama. He's a jerk, she's a saint. Only in our case, you're the one who lied to me! Well, no use crying over spilt milk. We can still be friends though.

Someday television will change our lives. We'll never go to the movies, and theatre and literature will die. We'll only be interested in television.

Don't you think you're getting carried away? Theatre, I agree, isn't going to last long, but really, movies, books...

How can we help?
Club director Olga Pavlovna
We're short of funds, we're short of men!
Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova

You know, he's so shy.

I do now.

Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
This is great...
Lyudmila Gurina
What's so great? I take one look at all this and it depresses me. I'd kill myself rather than live here. Everything's decided in advance. You save up to buy a TV set, after that it's a washing machine, then a refrigerator. You've got a twenty-year plan like the government.
Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
What's so bad about it?
Lyudmila Gurina
What's good living like that? Don't you understand that we live in Moscow? And Moscow's one big lottery, you can hit the jackpot. Moscow is full of diplomats, artists, actors and poets. Practically they're all men. And we're women.
Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
What do they need us for? They have their own women.
Lyudmila Gurina
But we're no worse than the others.
Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
Where can we find those artists?
Lyudmila Gurina
That's the point. We have to find them. Leave it to me.

What if they ask me a question and I give a dumb answer?
Lyudmila Gurina
Do it, but like you mean it. That's called point of view. Take me, I'm pretty vulgar, right?
Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
You said it, I didn't.
Lyudmila Gurina
Well, guys call it eccentric.

Anton Kruglov
There're too many rebels now. They criticize the older generation. They want to know why we kept silent for so long. I wonder what they would have done in our place.

Georgiy 'Gosha'
I can tell that you're not married.
Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
Because you don't see a wedding ring on my finger?
Georgiy 'Gosha'
Even if you were wearing three wedding rings on each hand, you still have that unmarried look about you.
Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
You mean single women have a special look about them?
Georgiy 'Gosha'
Their look is kind of searching. The same look police usually have, an executive has it, and a single woman has it too.

Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
You go to the theatre or museum and what do you see? Only women. The men are watching television or drinking with their friends. Once they reach forty, they vegetate. They don't even polish their shoes, it's disgusting! I hate men who wear dirty shoes. It's crude.

Aleksandra - Katerina's Daughter
Where did you find him?
Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
In the train.
Aleksandra - Katerina's Daughter
I didn't know you were cruising for men in trains. I'm a little surprised.
Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
Not half as surprised as I am, though.

Lyudmila Gurina
I was told how to meet a single man. You go to a cemetery. You're bound to meet an intellectual who's a recent widower. You let him look at you, and the next thing you know... A friend of mine actually married an architect that way.

Aleksandra - Katerina's Daughter
You mean that you want to marry her?
Georgiy 'Gosha'
Yes.
Aleksandra - Katerina's Daughter
Have you known her for a long time?
Georgiy 'Gosha'
Forty-four hours and about twenty-two minutes.
Aleksandra - Katerina's Daughter
But Mother has always been of the opinion that you have to know a man well to marry him, and that takes time.
Georgiy 'Gosha'
Right, to marry a person after only a two-day acquaintance is a very thoughtless act. It's best to wait about a week. So you can let me know next Wednesday.

Aleksandra - Katerina's Daughter
Why didn't you continue your education?
Georgiy 'Gosha'
What for?
Aleksandra - Katerina's Daughter
To become an executive.
Georgiy 'Gosha'
Should everyone be an executive?
Aleksandra - Katerina's Daughter
No, not at all, but everyone wants to.
Georgiy 'Gosha'
Ever hear of the Roman emperor Diocletian? At the very height of his empire, he just gave away the crown and settled down somewhere in the country. And when he was asked to take over again, he said: Once you've seen the cabbages that I've grown, you'll stop asking me.
Aleksandra - Katerina's Daughter
He never went back?
Georgiy 'Gosha'
No. You see, not everybody wants to be some kind of leader. Although it seems to be the only case in the history of the world.

Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
Using your fists is no way to settle problems.
Aleksandra - Katerina's Daughter
And if they don't understand words?
Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
Then you didn't explain properly.

Nikolay
Does he have any particular marks I can look for? A scar, for instance?
Aleksandra - Katerina's Daughter
Not that I know of.
Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
They took out his appendix.
Nikolay
That's not what I meant.

Club director Olga Pavlovna
Today, lonely souls don't know how to meet one another. People just watch television and don't even know who lives next door. Among those who got married, two were living in the very same apartment building. They wouldn't have met one another. It was only because of our club. And that's what you call urbanization!

Lyudmila Gurina
Where are you going after that?
Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
To the Tretiakov Gallery.
Lyudmila Gurina
After all I taught you about how to get a man, and you go there. The only kind of men you're going to find there are tourists.
Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
I go to see the paintings, not the men.
Lyudmila Gurina
Well, I'm going to visit the Lenin Library's biology department today. Imagine the clientele it's got. The kind of men there. Doctors, academicians, philosophers.
Katerina 'Katya' Tikhomirova
Are you going to spend your morning watching them read?
Lyudmila Gurina
No, I'll hang around the smoking section.
