:54:00
No documents and no money.
:54:02
He's a passenger, left behind his
train.
:54:05
So let's put
an Uzbek cap on him,
:54:09
and he'll be selling the melons
like a farmer from Central Asia.
:54:12
- Selling?
- Me?
:54:15
What are you talking about? I never
sold anything and am not going to!
:54:19
It's easy. Just think of how they sell
at stores and do the other way round.
:54:24
They're rude there, and you smile.
:54:26
They cheat with the weight,
you give them extra.
:54:28
What?
:54:29
Give them 50 or 100 grams more,
and the customer will be pleased.
:54:35
- You know, they sell wet vegetables.
- Why?
:54:41
- Were you just born?
- Well, he doesn't know life at all.
:54:45
To make them heavier.
:54:47
So that they weigh more, understand?
:54:49
And your melon will be dry and nice.
:54:51
I'll give a call to the manager, so
that instead of giving you a thrashing
:54:58
he'd give you a robe, a scale...
:55:00
I'm not going to sell them.
Let Vera do it.
:55:03
I can't show myself at the market
place, I work in the service sector.
:55:06
And I'm a musician.
:55:08
So you can trade with music.
:55:10
Oh, I forgot, he's an international
competition prizewinner.
:55:13
I could become one if they
had sent me there at least once.
:55:18
You can be sure they'll send you
somewhere at the market.
:55:21
No, I'm not going to trade.
:55:23
Why do you refuse to help me out?
:55:26
I don't want to profiteer and I won't.
:55:29
Oh, that's what you hold us for?
I'm not a profiteer!
:55:34
We're intermediaries between
the earth and the people.
:55:36
And you're being entrusted with
an important, honorable mission.
:55:40
Please spare me!
:55:43
- He's ashamed.
- Yes, I'm ashamed! And afraid!
:55:47
Fourteen rubles, please.
The melon's yours, the money's ours.
:55:52
Come, folks! There's nothing phony!
It's half sugar, half honey!
:55:55
- This one, please.
- You've chosen a fine melon!
:55:59
Twelve rubles, please.
Come, folks! There's nothing phony!
