Featuring:

"But I'm a worm, and no man, a reproach of men, and despised

of the people." Psalms XXII, 6.

You have different boots on your feet sir,

one black and the other red.

Send somebody home to fetch them.

Says the general: I did. There are the same boots at home.

Look.

This is the icon of St. George.

"A miracle of slaying the Serpent" narrates

about Holy Martyr George saving Palestinians

from the dragon that dwelt in a lake

and devoured babies who were sacrificed to it.

St. George's figure is like a boy tightly drawn.

The martyr's scarlet mantle is flying up triumphantly

like his symbolic standard.

The blessing hand against the background of the firmament

shows that George is being helped from above...

Sleeping, son of a bitch, eh?

- Man on duty. - Yes, private.

Move your ass.

- What's wrong? - Stop fussing.

Elin.

On my way.

What is it?

Why are you goggling at me?

Staring at me too.

- Just look at him. - It's OK.

You will remember this day, you sure will.

Take your places everybody. Get in by the window, Zyrin.

Where is the tray? Bring it.

Enough, Seryozha.

Enough, Lyosha.

To hell with you.

Well he can do it when he is willing to.

- Anything wrong? - Nope.

- Well, Roman. - Goodbye Lyoshai.

Find the time to write us a letter, you rascal.

Don't drink too much,

ensign.

Get into the car or we will be late.

Think kindly of me...

"No ferrying today"

Uncle Vanya, uncle Vanya.

Water.

Back.

You will kick the bucket here, I will be damned.

Belikov, form up, back.

Zyrin, form up.

Cheer up, boys. Step on it.

There is not much left.

Beilkov, catch up with the rest.

Come on, come on.

Make haste. Hold the belt.

Come on. Catch up with the rest.

I will make you into a good soldier.

Elin, fall in. Come on, Zyrin. Come on.

Inhale through your nose, Zyrin. Your nose, your nose.

To hell with him, bastard.

Easy, easy. As you were.

Easy. Elin, come on. As you were.

Lying support. Quick, Pasha. As you were.

Did you hear my command Belikov?

Lying support, comrade private.

Your man is tired. Let me do it.

Lying, support.

Lying, support.

Stop, Belicov, you sob.

Hold on.

Belicov, stop.

Get me the officers.

The man on duty Elin.

Man on duty.

You deaf, man on duty?

Are you deaf, man on duty?

There you are.

Is this your service uniform?

No sir.

- Are you the man on duty? - Yes sir

Attention, attention.

- It is really nice here.

You may receive the devil himself.

- It is much worse at the devils. - You are a real wit.

Umnov, there is a naked man in the cell.

I know.

Are they yours?

A soldier who was here before left them.

They are beautiful.

Halt.

Halt, you can't come here, you can't come here.

Don't you understand?

You see the icon of St. George.

"A Miracle of Slaying the Serpentin" narrates

about St. George saving Palestinians

from the dragon that dwelt in a lake.

St. George's figure is like a bow tightly drawn.

Valera, oh stop it, Valera, Valera, stop it.

Do you hear? Valera stop it, Valera, stop it, stop it Valera, stop it.

Did anybody call me?

No, sir.

The telephone is out of order.

Why do I stand here turning the handle then?

Reveille.

Form up for morning exercises.

Tell the unit officer of the day

that the company has been formed up.

Be quick, you must clean up.

Look lively.

Double time, march.

Be quick, be quick.

Be quick.

Quicker.

Daddy, will you make my bed.

Well, sonny. Do you want me to piss on you as well?

Go out for the morning dozen.

Hey, warrior.

You crazy or what?

Right, dress, ready.

Go.

Elin, do you need a special invitation?

No sir.

What? No sir.

As you were.

Captain, how many times...

- We aren’t divers after all. - Stop talking.

What have you been taught, you sprat?

Don't goggle at me.

Well when you are in the company...

Dress,

ready.

Go.

My dear brother,

I was surprised to receive such a letter from you.

It seems to have been written by a man unknown to me.

His words are callous,

his judgments of people are incompetent, his heart is

filled with despair. He must be very lonely.

Help him.

Georgy, you know how it is.

It isn't the way he thinks.

You have a clear head and a kind heart.

You know much and can do a lot,

because your heart feels what embittered souls can't.

I hope that being kind-hearted, you will help him Georgy.

You love and...

Assistant officer of the day.

Junior sergeant Chislov here.

It's for you lieutenant.

Yes. Officer of the day is here.

The End
