Let me through

Don't be afraid. Touch him when he's running

Touch him when he's running

You

Touch him when he's running

Step away so she can pet him

This one?

- Are you scared of him a little? - No, I'm just afraid that he...

- Must be his mum - Has he got bitten?

He's doing something she doesn't like so she bites him

I want a chocolat bar

Alright

Someone left and another one came

Lots of people walk here. Security guards, journalists

- Institute employees - Why do they walk here?

- It's an institute, people work here - What about these ones?

- These people work as well - Then why do they

- Hello - They walk like they

Just ignore them, people work here

- Are they guarding the street? - It depends. Let's turn here

Who's the first one to run...

Lia, let's go look for mum

Yes, with Borya

And we'll see who's at home

Are you running to the canteen? She's gonna outrun you

What?

- She wants to run to the canteen - Dad, look

Yes, that's great

Have you eaten yet, sweetheart?

Mum, Mum, hi. Where've you been?

We saw the piggies, I did some shooting, and rode on a motorbike

And which was your favourite?

The piggies ran away from me, and from Borya too

You didn't catch one?

No, I got to hold one little piglet

You have to grab him quickly, like this

Borya, Borya, did you eat? Have you had dinner?

He hasn't, no

Sorry, honey, but you have to eat

I just had two glasses of birch juice

Borya won't eat the marrow

You have to eat. And anyway, where are you going? It's late

- I'm going to go for a ride and then... - Borya

one lap and then we eat

That's the deal. That's it

Here. I need to p-p-...

Pee? Hold on. Evacuation time, evacuation time

- Let's run, go go - Evacuation. Evacuation

Evacuation

- Evacuation - If it's a poo... tell me if you want to poo

Deary me. I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry

If the cottage cheese isn't sweet enough, add some sugar

All right, I'll do it now

It's very sweet

We can go out at night

No, we can't. Night time is for sleeping

Then why did Borya want to go out?

Borya got confused. He thought it was already morning

We'll go out in the morning

It's all right, dear

Sweetheart, let's go brush our teeth

Go here instead. Then, you control more of them places

- THOSE places - Thanks

Borya's brushed his teeth. Now it's your turn

- Have one more plum and then we go - Me?

- You too if you want - You've brushed your teeth though

Well... Can I just rinse later?

Of course. Have another plum

Liya, do you want it or not? We're going

No, it's plum, then brushing her teeth and that's it

Then let's go, Liya

I can't go over there, I'm too tired

Too tired to brush your teeth? We'll help you

- Let's go, honey - Brush my teeth

Right here?

Let's go, honey

I can carry you if you want?

Can Mummy brush my teeth here?

I don't think she can, Liya

And the glass?

Mum will help you. She'll brush your teeth

Come on, I'll carry you to Mummy

Liya, the toothbrush is waiting for you

"Where is Liya?"

"Where are those little teeth?"

Let her finish it. I'll take it here

Honey...

Mummy, I can't. I'm tired

You're tired? Do you want to finish your plum, or not?

Liya

I'll eat it

You're misbehaving. I'm taking away the plum

- I'll finish it - Be quick. The tooth brush is waiting

- What's this? - The queen

That's a shame. All right

That was silly of me

That's the last time you get to take a move back

Fine, thanks

I'm bringing out Old Knighty

No, it's fine

"On the meadow a huge djinn was making a fire"

"little djinns were bringing him dry brushwood"

"And more and more new djinns were coming out of the wood"

"young, old, black, red, hairy, tailed, with terrible fangs and glowing eyes"

"When the fire flared up all djinns sat around wailing"

"Oh Master, don't send the tailors to us"

"have pity for our coats"

"Have your coat sewn from something else"

"Deliver us from the tailor with his scissors"

"There was so much roaring, screeching, squealing and howling"

"that the poor terrified Weaver let go of his branch"

"and fell right into the middle of the djinn gathering"

"The Weaver thought he was doomed, but luckily the Tailor kept his cool"

"He jumped down from the tree, started clicking his scissors"

"And shouted with all his might"

"Grab them, hold them, bring them here"

"With an awful yowl, the djinns scattered, and disappeared into the dark"

"The tailor and weaver waited till morning, then hurried back home"

"You see?" said the tailor, "You wanted more than you needed"

"And your greed very nearly killed you"

Nikita, what's bothering you?

I feel that something very important is happening to me

and I don't know how you'll react

But I want you to be

a part of this process, you know?

I also want to be a part of this process

Especially because

working in the Institute has helped me to understand

or understand something about myself, that

My ideas...

The ones I've had since I was young, about how everything is organised

and how it should be organised are actually all

unrealistic

As it's happened... it's happening here

I think it's very important and I'd like you to...

to feel it with me

What's unrealistic?

For example...

You know, I've always wanted to control everything in all matters

in simply everything

As it turns out, I live in an imaginary world

inhabited not by people, but by my ideas

Well

In a way, it's always like that

- We all live in our own worlds - I think happy people are...

- Can escape - Can get through this and

talk with real living people, and not with

ghosts

In any case, you'll always perceive others your own prism

It's just a question of hearing others

Yes

That's...

That's what I'm working on

But what can I do about it?

Well...

You know, I think you're doing everything right

You trust me and...

It's not that you're ruling me with an iron rod

It's me, who is like

holding the rod above myself

But if you say it to me then it will be a lot easier

Well

Just don't...

I'm running off my feet too

And I'm just not ready to listen to you in certain situations

because I spend the day running around

then rush home to look after the children

and when I've put the children to bed I just collapse

I'm not ready to listen to anything by that point

not even my own children

But... that will pass, you know

At a certain point the children will grow up

Yes, we just have to get through it

At a certain point

there'll be... I don't know...

You'll no longer have so much on your plate at work

I don't know, something will happen and then

it will turn out that I'm a different person

Yes, and that I don't know you

And that you're a different person too

because, you know, I'm rushed off my feet too

And on my way I'm trying to

to do the parenting

to save the world, to...

to write formulae, and to look at beautiful girls too, you know

I think

that on my part, in our relationship there's been

for, I don't know, about the last five years

the situation has been that

I have kind of closed myself up from you

and

But at the same time I closed myself off from myself too

That is, I...

I tried to shove myself into a little box, into some limits

into some kind of bunker

where I just keep turning the same handle round and round

I just do everything that needs to be done

I'm completely...

just... like...

cutting myself with scissors from all sides and

Instead of taking off

I try to find axes with which I hack off a couple more of my feathers

Then I suffer and wonder why I'm in such pain

What is it, Nikita?

For example, I understood that I can fall in love

Have you fallen in love?

I have

But... It's not... It's...

It's not what it was before

What is it then?

It's that... I love you

I... I...

I love our children

But at the same time

I can have some feelings for other people

How do you see it?

How do I see it? I don't see it, I feel it, feel it

No. How do you see this situation?

No. Well, it's only a theoretical situation

It... it's not... the thing...

How can I put it? There isn't a specific

Nothing's going on, it's just...

No, Nikita, we're all human

- I can fall in love too - You can fall in love too

It's just... what do we do next?

I'm not trying to say that

I need to have sex on the side, or something like that

That's not what I'm talking about

What I want to say is that

I want to feel that I'm a free... a responsible and free person

- How does that work? - I don't know

Any second now we'll hear the "Mu-u-um"

You know, someone's already running around up there

We're not going to get any sleep now

Let's call up the nanny

Though we still won't get any sleep

I...

What?

Tell me

- It doesn't matter - Tell me, tell me

It's just, you know I... I won't...

I won't be able to be new and different for my whole life

You don't need to be, I love you just as you

The way you were when I fell in love with you

You don't change for me

That's not true, Nikita, it's just an illusion, can't you see?

It's just that once again you're afraid

of seeing things the way they really are

No, that's not what it's about

It is about that too, it is...

I don't know... I'm too tired to think

Shall I help you?

What?

Stop. You'll tear it again

It's like with Borya, I ask him not to lie

because otherwise I'll never believe him in the future

It's one and the same, how can you trust someone

who tells lies?

But you mustn't say that

There are very few people who don't lie

- I don't lie - Well, I do

And because I myself don't lie I always believe other people

Why doesn't it ever occur to me

that people can lie?

I've told you hundreds of times

that I believe what people say to me

I was just afraid to tell you

Also, it would be nice to know that this isn't the last time

you'll tell me things

and that I'm not going to be taken by surprise

whenever I go somewhere

And then you're surprised that I'm not cheerful

Have you got a handkerchief, Nikita?

I'll have a look

Nikita, you know, I know that you're like that

And there's no need to...

I guess if it's not there...

...you don't get passionate about anything

I just knew it all already

Tanya, you mean, you'd rather

admit that I'm like that in theory

but not know the details?

Borya's awake

I think the thing is that I've just grown up a bit

And managed to put it into words

I'm up already, I've been lying there for hours

- I can't keep my eyes shut - What's the matter?

I don't know, I just... I can't do it

I already slept for a bit

But I'm all awake now

You can go and play quietly if you like

Why have you got dressed, Borya? It's still very early

Go and lie down a bit longer and you'll drop off

It was the same yesterday

Can I go downstairs?

Yes, go down, just don't wake Lia up

Are you expecting me to say to you

"Go on then, introduce me to her"

- Are you? - No, Tanya, I'm not

If I say to you "Go on, introduce me to her, Nikita"

If you say that, then...

You'll organize a little party

Right?

Yeah, that might not be such a bad idea

It could even be fun

What if I were to tell you that?

That you'd fallen in love?

What would you be like?

I don't know, I can't say before it happens

- Well, should I tell you? - Go on then

- That I've fallen in love? - Yes. Definitely

I can't tell you before it happens either

No, I'm only asking you

to tell me what you feel when you feel something

- Now, I feel bad - I understand

- I want to feel sorry for you - Don't feel sorry for me

Well, not "sorry" but

give you a cuddle

Well that's how you should act in life then

as if I'm...

a pet dog or something

who you have to feel sorry for and stroke

Don't mistake love and pity for one another

If you could go back and do it again, what would you have done?

Or what would you want to do?

Tanya, due to the fact that I went through all that

I understood something about myself after that

If I'd started from the point I was at back then

- Yes, now - then I wouldn't be in that situation

Where would you be?

What would have happened?

I wouldn't have paid any attention to those girls

- Why? - Because they were completely irrelevant

Whom would you have paid attention to?

It's nothing to do with falling in love. You see?

Yes, I understand, you fell in love

You had a sense of duty, you were overwhelmed by emotions

- All in one go - And out of the blue a stranger

turned up in the heat of the moment

If everything had been how you'd wanted, how would it have been?

Your emotions would have overwhelmed you whatever

you don't control whether you fall in love or not, what can you do?

You know, the only thing that makes your whole life experience valuable

is that it lets you do things in the future, not in the past

Or perhaps it's not at all valuable

History teaches that it teaches us nothing

You simply found out that you are able to do something like that

No, just that I can't control myself

Did that surprise you?

Yes

Because

I found out that I can't control myself

in situations in which I understand, or so I thought

all the boundaries and limitations

and all the circumstances

It even

turned out that I can't even control myself in a situation like that

What help have limitations and boundaries ever been to anyone?

Boundaries and limitations are put in place to provoke people

Not to stop them

No one ever anywhere has ever been

helped in any way by boundaries and limitations

They helped me

- How? - They helped me realise

that I can't be stopped by any boundaries or limitations

I shouldn't have said anything

What does "should" or "shouldn't" even mean?

You're just saying what you feel

I'm asking you to say what you feel

Don't pick what you should and shouldn't say

It's me who gives the wrong answers to all the questions

You know where I get my sense of should and shouldn't from?

I've already told you that I'm an absolute egoist

I know what I should and shouldn't do

Very well... then that's your choice

I accept it

What else could you do?

Where could I go to get away from you?

Go on, downstairs

Dad... Dad

Take this

Go on, go downstairs

Please

Have you been up for long?

- Borya? - Yep

For an hour

- Did you hear what we were talking about? - What?

Did you hear our conversation?

Yep

Do you have any thoughts about it?

- What do you mean? - Doesn't matter

Borya, I'm hungry. Do you want to come to the office with me?

- Have you finished your chicken? - I've already had some

- Shall I finish it for you? - Nah

- Are you going to finish it or not? - Nah

- You're not going to finish it? - Nope

I'll finish it off then

A quick game

- A quick game, go on then - Look... No, no, look

Your horses got there quick

Like Red Army men

Ah, no, it's not check... It's not checkmate

Not yet? That's good

Yeah, they did get there quick

Why is it always you? I also want to play

You've been playing with it on the way here

No, not all the time

Borya, please sit down on the bench

- Lia, let's go sit on the bench - No, no

You see, there is a car coming. You can't jump the rope here

- With Borya? Sit down - No, with Borya

- Shall we keep on walking? - It's up to you

I'll go

I will go further without you

- Will you go further with me? - If you like

All right. Do you want your jumping rope?

- As you like - Alright then

You will have to catch the ball with the jumping rope

- Alright then - Run and catch it and give it back to me

- Try not to hit the car - I'll also try to catch it

- Why is mum not coming back? - I don't know, she's busy with her things

Lia, let's go

Let's go

Borya, you're waiting for Mama, right?

I'd rather you waited with us

Come

It's really good

Just don't put them on the chessboard

- Why not? - Because I'm still playing with it

It's "chessBOARD", not "CHESSboard"

- CHESSboard? - CHESSboard

- You're embarrassing me - This paper will be my board

Lia, dear, where shall I put your plate?

EMployee of the month, or employEE of the month?

Right

- Where do I put your plate? Next to Daddy? - Can I put it on the paper?

I would be so happy if you sat next to me

I want it on the paper

What do you want on paper, honey?

To play chess without Borya

I'm giving you a napkin, on which you're going to eat

And I'm giving you... a newspaper

No, a whole magazine for you to play on

I can't put you there, next to such a big cake. Your mother needs that

Are you sure you don't want some chicken first?

Yes, absolutely

I thought I'd brought more forks. Here

Your chess pieces can go here. Did I not bring the forks?

- Where did I put them? - How should I serve the chicken?

- One plate would be fine - Sure

- One, two, three, four... - You found them?

Thank you so much

Would you like some juice or water?

What kind of juice is there?

- Apple - I don't want it

- You'll have water, Lia? - I want apple juice

Borya, take your glass, please, and one for Daddy

Thanks

- and one for Mummy - Thanks

That should do

I'm playing against myself, Lia, so could you...

These red ones

And the white ones, you can give them all to me

Here

Thank you

Just don't make me another sandwich

Liya, dear

Since you're the youngest, you get first pick

- We'll quickly eat up the rest - The one with the skin

- Do you want the skin? - Just the skin

- Let me... - No, just the skin

Honey, you can't eat just the skin

It won't fill you up

Here's some more skin with a little bone

Can you manage it? Liya, sweetie, I've given you a fork

- Mate - Well done

Congratulations

With the king again?

- No - With the queen?

Thank you, Anya dear

I couldn't have taken in anyway because there was a rook

How much chicken do you want, darling?

I'll say when

I think... now just a little piece, please

- This one? - Yes, that's it

And that one as well

Nikita

I'll have cottage cheese

Daddy, will you fire the cannon with us?

- Tanya, take some - No... bread and cheese will do me

Thanks

- Thank you - Till next time

Bye

Well, did you find a strong move?

A strong move? Well...

At any rate, I'll take a pawn

- No, that's not the strongest move - I know

Then make a strong move

- What? - Then make a strong move

I don't know what would be a strong move

How do I recognise it?

Consider your possibilities

Right. First possibility, the rook takes me

Second, the queen takes me

Third, the knight takes me

Fourth, the knight...

This is... hopeless

Why is it hopeless?

Whom does the knight threaten if he takes that pawn?

Well, the king

So what if he does?

I'll be in check

So what?

That's not where your strength lies

You're threatening rook, king and queen at the same time

I can't protect all of them

It's called a "fork". It's a very strong move

I either lose the game or lose the queen

There lived two fellows

You're doing ever so well, sweetheart

Where did we stop?

Right there

This is where I started

Yes, but you reached the full stop

Two fel-lows. Full stop

There lived two fellows

Full stop

- O - Good girl

On.. on...

On... on...

Ong.

What's that last letter?

O. N... On

One...

Ones... One...

One

it says... Si... Sa...

Sa. Sa-n... San

- Borya beat me, you know - He told me. Did you let him win?

I can't believe it

Of course, I overlooked a lot of things

- But no, I never gave in deliberately - I forgot the plate

I never held back

I'm so glad

He was so happy

- Can you move this? - It's great Borya's so into chess

- And many other things as well - Your napkin...

He's grown up so suddenly. He said "Mummy dearest"

- "Mummy dearest"? - Yes

He said to me, "darling father, you're not going anywhere"

Something like that

No, that's not how he said it

Liya's something else

She wouldn't leave the pigsty

But she couldn't grab one of the little pigs either

- Maybe she was scared? - No, even I couldn't catch one

No, they're just too agile. But she wouldn't leave

They must be charming in some way

whatever is might be

I'm getting tongue-tied, that's how knackered I am

The thing is...

It's always like that with us

We get so tired we can't even talk

And this fatigue happens on such levels that

it makes it impossible to talk about the things you want, because...

You come home from work

the kids are all over you, you put them to bed

There you go

I want to tell you that I've fallen in love with a woman

who doesn't reciprocate

It's hurting me and I want to share this with you

First off, it's ridiculous that I want to share it with you, but I do

And secondly...

She doesn't feel the same?

No

What if she did feel the same?

Or say, in five years I meet someone who does?

Or tomorrow

I'd like to know...

I don't want it to keep secrets from you

I don't think you know me, really

because

I don't think you know what I'm capable of

Such as?

Well, for example... to get drunk

and hit on a girl I don't care for

then reach the point

where you need to fuck

realise that I don't have any feelings for her

and to just leave

And leave her with her feelings hurt

Just to get out of bed saying "I don't love you"

"I love some other girl"

This has happened to me

And what do you want from me?

I want you to know that I'm capable of that

and some

And what is it that you want?

I want to have an opportunity... I don't know

say

to rent the house next door and have the girl I like move in there

and go live there three days a week

Nikita, I won't live like that

I simply won't

So that is the line you won't cross?

I'm not saying that not talking about uncrossable lines

I just don't want it

- I don't want it - And at that moment your love will end?

It's not a question of my love. It's a question of my choice

It's a question of what I want for myself. It's not about you, me or the kids

I mean, it IS about me

And I don't want it. It won't work for me

- What would work for you? - In that scenario you just leave

If you love somebody that much - you go

I don't want you going back and forth

I don't want to because I couldn't live like that

I don't think I could live like that

What if I rent a house

and move the man I love in there?

We rent two houses next door. One for you and one for me

I...

I don't know how to play the victim, Nikita

Could it be accepting me, rather than playing a victim?

Yes, if you did the same for me

- So I rent another house? - But hold on

If that's what you wish, of course

Because in this particular scenario, I'll need to prove to myself

that I, too, can turn elsewhere emotionally

Why does it have to be such a battle?

Because it hurts me, because I have feelings for you

And for you to just go away somewhere, to me it's...

It's hard for me

It's hard that you come temporarily

If you need to go, go, I won't hold you

You need to, you go, that's all

But for you to live next door, no thanks

If you need to go, then go

But I love you

And I don't want to go

And I can't live in two houses, Nikita

So I have to bring a girl to our house?

You can. Then I will go

So what do we do?

So if I went to work

- and went to my lover without telling you - No

it would be a less painful option?

No, Nikita, we have tried it and it didn't work

It's straightforward

You are not capable of living for two women

You can fall for someone but that's...

You know, the excitement lasts while...

while it's still an infatuation

As soon it becomes an issue of changing your family

you will have to resolve it anyway

I don't really believe that you can love two people

You can be infatuated with one and love another

The option of being infatuated with me is in the past, you see?

I don't know, Nikita. I mean...

I think this situation is possible

I just can't tell you in advance that yes, this is how it will be

Do you see?

Do you want to know why? I'll tell you. Because...

Right now, and for the last

couple of years or just under...

I've had an absolute priority in my life, which is my two children

Ten years from now, they'll become independent from you. Maybe fifteen...

No, even in a few years I'll have a far greater degree of freedom

But given that at this stage, you and I have different priorities

- Our situation is not equal - No

That's why I can't tell you in advance

with my acute sense of equality and brotherhood

how long... my patience will last

You see, I won't...

I won't get in your way

I won't help you

I'd very much like us to be able to talk about it

But I can't promise you what my feelings will be

At least while I love you

I do need to have that wave

of having a new woman in my life

No, Nikita, dear. You need it

When your life isn't exhausting otherwise

While it's overwhelming you...

Like when Borya was little, all those sleepless nights

Like me not having a job, waiting for you at home

If I quit my job now, stay at home, take full care of you

not be as the exhausted mum I am, you wouldn't need that wave

for some time at least. And if at the same time we move

if our house starts falling apart or if mum or dad gets sick

you won't need it

You just have a certain pot that needs to be filled to the top

and if it's not full you'll fill it with something

Of course it's best to fill it with something pleasant

Tanya, everyday chaos is not enough for me

neither is caring for sick parents

or with career or what-have-you

Nikita, in that sense maybe I'm just not quite right for you

If it were another woman, maybe she could fill you

I don't think so. I think you are the only one who's right for me

Because you're the only one who tries to understand me

You say you're selfish but you're not

You're always looking outwards, as I see it

- And not inwards - I do that for myself

For myself

I live with you so I try to understand you

But the fact that you live with me and not some Vasya, Petya or Maxim

is that pure coincidence?

That I don't know

- But none of it matters anyway - What do you mean?

You're hugely exaggerating

Don't you think I'm showing a side you weren't aware of?

No, I don't

No, I don't. That you can get drunk?

I already knew. That you...

you need to fall in love? I already knew. What's the big deal?

Well, you know

I know that I'm capable of crazy things in a drunken state

You're trying to buy an indulgence from me

I'm not. I'm trying to figure out the limits of your love

I can say anything you want right now

- But I don't know how I'll feel then - Just imagine

But Nikita

If you're drunk...

I've told you a hundred times not to speed where we live

Because there are little kids around

I think you're a crazy driver. But what am I supposed to do?

- I don't drive like I'm crazy anymore - Yes, you do

I had a conversation about it with the neighbour

- It's just that the car is loud - That's not the problem

That you are... kind and gentle

and a basically honest man? I already knew that

And that's why your lies are killing me

Your lies are indirect, they're all by omission. You lie to yourself

when it suits you

And one time it really devastated me and offended me for life

When?

In the situation with Liya

When I said that you made me come back because you got pregnant?

Yes

That was low of me

It wasn't about being low. You were dishonest, you were lying

But I don't want to discuss it now

- Why? Let's talk about - I told you, I don't want to

That's it, end of discussion

I think that's one of those cases when it's clearly unfair

It's unfair to me, because I've never been dishonest with you

And never tried to trick you

And that time wasn't a trick either. I was totally honest with you

I told you everything beforehand

which day it was and what would happen

It's not like I was forcing aphrodisiacs down your throat

So you don't get to tell me

that I was dishonest with you. You were the dishonest one

You were dishonest and unmanly for not taking responsibility

For not saying to yourself "yes, that's how it was"

You know why? Because you...

Because in another woman's eyes

you didn't look as honest and responsible a man as you wanted to be

You know, Nikita

even emotionally I've put a lot of effort into

being able to survive certain things

Certain things being my adultery?

Just your leaving

You know, I've gone through all of it

And I knew that if you left, my life wouldn't end there

It's very hard and very painful, but my life is way beyond you leaving

More than that, I know

I will survive it without falling apart

Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to live with you at all

Because I know you, or I think I do

And I don't need those half-truths from you

when you say that you're going somewhere and it's not true

Don't say that, because every time I believe you

Every time I hope that we've passed that stage

where you had to say just a bit of truth

Because the most painful thing is to realise that

I'm not your closest person, but people around you are

They know more about you

That's what really hurts

Shall we go for a walk?

- We actually don't argue often, you know - Very rarely

What is it with this thing?

That was just...

It's like Liya said today - "you're guarding me, right?"

D2, Nekrasov, good evening, why I can't get through to you?

- How do these things work? - D2. Nekrasov

We need someone who can watch the kids while we go out

Thank you

This might wake the kids

That? No, if they're asleep, they'll be fine

Thank you

They're sleeping like angels. Sniffling a little

A simply idyllic scene

Liya hasn't even done her ninety-degree turn

Remember, we got married because we wanted each other's child?

So there's no question that we both wanted Borya

It was... well, you could say

our first joint project

- That formula of yours came together too - Yes

For the first time

While

in Liya's case

From my side everything was horribly twisted

Of course I wanted the baby

and you and I had tried before

But at the point when...

when we'd made Liya

for me it was more of...

I'd call it a return ticket, you know?

I was leaving, but I knew I'd be back, because I was making her just then

And there I was justifying myself by thinking

that you were using your tears to...

Nikita, that wasn't true

It wasn't true

- It wasn't true about my tears - That's how I wanted to see it then

It wasn't true

- It's true that there were tears - Of course there were tears, but

- They were about something else - I asked you at the time

Yes, you did. And I just

followed the path of least resistance, and said yes, we were making a baby

The main thing is that she's such a marvel

Yes, that she turned out to be a joy

and I have no idea what I did to deserve her

The result so completely fails to match the circumstances

- And that's when a new formula appeared - Yes, a little later

In the process

And Borya...

He's so good, and he wants to be better and to push Lia too

- It gets to the point of ridiculousness - He really is

But at the same time, he's trying to stay ahead of her

- Yes. But he is exactly like you, Nikita - He is

- Nikita... I love you - I love you too

What made you fall in love? What was the catalyst?

That was different with each woman

With some it was a feeling

With one girl I fell in love because

everything was so light and easy and beautiful

- You mean her? - Yes

Therefore I thought it would all be safe

Because it seemed unlikely to get serious

The other was the opposite. It took much longer

Time is very relative... because

She's a very serious and thoughtful person

I mean she's very impressive

These are my impressions of them

Let's sit down for a while

- Do they know you love someone else? - One of them does. The other doesn't

- You told her? - Yes

Why?

That was what gave rise to our relationship

the fact that I could talk to her about anything

And that's what

I realised I want to have with you

Because the contrast made me see that you and I don't have that

Hush now, hush, time for bed

Don't lie right on the edge

The little grey wolf will come along

And grab you by your flank

He'll drag you back into the woods

and underneath a willow tree

Little grey wolf don't come to us

Don't wake our baby up
