Mommy!
:46:22
l don't know if Sandro Barateli can
be compared to the great Botticelli,
:46:27
but l know that Nino Barateli looks
like Botticelli's heavenly Madonnas.
:46:38
l hope l didn't scare you,
lovely Nino?
:46:41
One kisses hands
of common mortals,
:46:44
as for goddesses and saints,
one ought to bow down to them.
:46:52
Dear Nino,
l've heard so much about you,
:46:57
about the artist Sandro Barateli
and his beautiful wife.
:47:02
l have dreamed of meeting you
and seeing your pictures.
:47:05
But Mikhail and Yelena
kept me waiting...
:47:08
That's slander, esteemed Varlam.
:47:11
lt's you who is constantly busy,
especially lately.
:47:15
Dear Sandro, l'd like to apologize
for my zealous assistants.
:47:22
l'm glad you so timely stood up
for the unfairly punished old people.
:47:28
- How long had they been there?
- For 24 hours.
:47:31
- Poor things must have been scared?
- Not much, they're not easily scared.
:47:37
Well, they're the old guard, right?
Esteemed Mosse, beautiful Miriam.
:47:42
And this is the most important member
of the family, Keti Barateli.
:47:47
Dear Keti!
:47:52
Dear Keti, please!
