Do you remember the Kalitins?
:02:08
Ksyusha Kalitina, that plump girl...
:02:11
I had an affair with her
which was even more annoying.

:02:14
I kept calling on them,
:02:16
putting her mother to great expenses
in terms of coffee.

:02:22
We took walks on shady paths.
I was young and timid then.

:02:30
So once they made me stay
for the night.

:02:36
Well, I stayed for the night.
I went to bed.

:02:39
And in the middle of the night,
you know...

:02:45
The door opens,
and an old woman appears in my room.

:02:50
She was about eighty, absolutely deaf,
and with an enema bag in her hands.

:02:55
And, pardon me,
she gave me an enema.

:02:59
I didn't resist. I decided
it was a custom at their house.

:03:04
And in the morning I found out
that she just got the wrong room.

:03:10
After that, of course, I stopped
visiting them as a suitor.

:03:15
- And what's even more funny...
- It's neither funny, nor proper!

:03:20
Thank you! My flesh is yearning for
a smoke. I haven't smoked today yet.

:03:25
Last winter at the opera
:03:28
I saw a young man cry
under the impact of beautiful music.

:03:33
- Do you think it's good?
- It's very good.

:03:37
Then tell me, please,
:03:40
why the ladies and gentlemen
around him were smiling?

:03:44
Smiling at what?
:03:47
- Porfiry Semyonovich.
- I'm listening.

:03:50
It's them, simple people like him,
are the keepers of morality.

:03:57
In them is the salvation of our idea.
