CHEESECAKE

Mom, sit still. You've seen this rubbish a hundred times already.

Why rubbish? It's very nice. You are so handsome there, and your smile...

Come on! It's make-up, it's illusion. Mom, you don't have any inflammation.

Sorry, I'm very tired, it's been a tough day.

What's bothering you?

Nothing. What makes you think something's bothering me?

Well, that's the third time you've washed that spoon.

Yes, sorry it's... I'm on autopilot.

How is Galya doing?

She's fine.

Did she buy that handbag?

Which handbag?

The scarlet one, to match her shoes...

I don't know, she probably did.

Have you two had a fight?

Mom, let me through.

Why don't you ever tell me what's going on with you?

Because nothing's 'going on' with me.

I knew that Galya would finally leave you!

Mom, I'm really tired.

You could stay here for the night.

Another time.

Have you had enough to eat?

I have all I need.

Good evening, Mikhail Alexandrovitch.

Good evening.

Don't you recognize me?

You're hard to forget.

But, excuse me, I don't remember your name

and don't understand what you're doing here.

I'm Alyosha.

May I spend the night here?

Why do you think I'd let you?

I don't know you.

Go home.

Do you have a home?

Yes.

That's good. Now step aside.

Did you hear me?

Yes.

Go home.

Good night.

Yes.

Hello.

Yes, mom.

Yes, I'm watching, it's terrible.

Mom, I will be careful with fire.

I don't like electric kettles. They make the water taste bad.

There'll be no summer? Why? Summer has just begun.

It will be hot.

Your blood pressure will go up as usual.

Look, it's late, go to bed.

Yes. Good night.

Bye. Here's a kiss.

Are you afraid to go home?

No. Just don't want to.

I think, you're afraid.

You must have gotten a bad grade at school or something. That it?

I never get bad grades.

Then what the hell are you doing here?

This floor is cold, you'll get a chill.

Nothing to scary.

Are the police looking for you?

Why?

I didn't do anything wrong.

Your parents must be worried,

they don't know where you are, do they?

They don't care.

Good evening.

Good evening.

The dog needs his walk.

Come inside. Come on.

Your son looks like you.

I don't have any children.

First they act on TV,

then say they don't have children.

Look, this is the first and the last time you spend the night here.

Sorry, I don't need your troubles. I've got my own up to my neck.

- You understand? - Yes. - Excellent.

Where's your wife?

I don't have a wife.

But I saw woman's slippers and bathrobe...

I had a girlfriend.

Where is she now?

I don't know.

Please go to sleep I have to get up early.

Hello. Yes.

No, mom, you didn't wake me.

I'm feeling fine, just fine.

It's warm.

No, it's not to you, there's a warm pot on my stove.

What's in it? Porridge.

No, mom, Galya hasn't come back.

I'll call you anyway. Kiss you, bye.

And the dishes washed.

Amazing.

You made a mistake,

there, in the addition. You need parentheses there.

Of course!

Valechka, you remember that woman from TV?

With the cracked talocrural joint?

That's her! I need her phone number.

As I remember, it was she who asked you to be in that ad.

You've got perfect memory.

As soon as I finish the paperwork I'll find her number.

Of course, finish the paperwork.

May I help you?

No, thanks, I'm just looking.

- Well, look gently, okay? - Okay.

Hello, Irina.

This is Mikhail, your doctor.

Remember me?

Good afternoon.

How are you doing?

Fine.

I told you everything would be fine with your leg.

Ira, tell me how you found the boy who acted with me in that ad?

How did you find him?

Right off the street?

Yes, very nice person.

No particular reason.

Just curious, that's all.

Valya, pick up the phone. I'm covered in plaster.

Hello. Who's calling? I'll ask him.

It's about your son.

What son?

I don't know.

Hello, yes, that's me.

Don't have a clue.

He's not my son.

I'll tell you again, he's not my son.

What do you want from me?

Call the police!

Yes. Goodbye.

Ludicrous!

Take another film and bring it to me.

Okay doctor.

Hello again. It's Mikhail Alexandrovitch. We just spoke about that boy.

Yes.

Have you called the police?

I'll come, but I need about three hours.

- Good evening. Where's the boy? - Come in.

Follow me.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

It was an accident.

The clerk said you did it on purpose.

How did you get here?

Walked.

Why?

You were lucky I had money to pay

and that they recognized

'the boy from TV' and believed you.

Yes, lucky.

Now we're even, I paid for that vase,

for making the porridge and washing the dishes.

Was it good?

Delicious, thanks.

Bear in mind that next time I won't come,

and the police will take you away.

Do what you want. Got it?

Another one.

He's not home.

He's not home.

I see, thanks.

Are you going to wait?

Come into my apartment.

Don't worry, we'll hear him coming back.

My eyesight is poor

but my hearing is good.

Come on.

Do you like strong tea?

Yes.

"The table is set, the soup is ready. Whoever comes, will be fed."

Have some sugar, don't be shy.

May I have a candy?

I like both, too.

To the fifth floor, the fifth.

Have you loaned out your flat?

What do you mean?

Perhaps to your friend for the night

so that he could meet a girl...

Mom, what are you talking about?

I can't remember the last time

you spent the night in my house.

I just don't like to.

I mean,

I like to sleep at home.

That's it.

- Good night. - Good night.

I really didn't want to go home tonight.

I don't know why, though.

Kostik, faugh!

Hello.

Hello.

"I owe you for the broken vase. Thanks. Alyosha."

Hello. Good afternoon, Irina. It's Mikhail.

I'm worried.

Do you know how to find that boy?

OK, I'll wait.

Yes, I'm writing.

58-9-7. Got it.

34? OK.

And who's this?

His teacher, I see.

Thank you, Ira, thanks.

'Lyoshka, open up, pest!

I'm talking to you.

'Lyoshka, you hear me?

Open up!

Brat.

Why did you keep me waiting?

Vera, I didn't know it was you.

Asshole!

Motherfucker.

It's a problem family. No father, alcoholic mother.

You'll see for yourself.

Alyosha is a very talented boy.

Despite what people say

he's not like his mother.

35?

It's broken.

May I come in?

Michal it's this way.

Alyosha!

Why are you on the floor?

Come here, sweet baby.

Hello, Vera.

Hi.

Who the hell is this?

Oh, I know you.

You were in that ad with my Alyoshka.

Well...

how much were you paid for that?

None of your business.

How much was Alyoshka paid?

I don't know, ask him.

He hides the money.

Or it's been stolen from him.

Where's Alyosha?

Alyoshka!

Give her to me.

Vera Ivanovna, I think

you should be deprived of parents' rights!

What?

Give birth to your own children

then tell me what I should do!

Four of us in one room

we can't even afford bread!

But you always have money for vodka!

What?

Get out of here!

I'll report you

for beating on me!

I'll find you,

Shit!

- Good day. - Good day.

- Good day. - Good day.

- Good day. - Hello.

Next.

Come in, sit down.

Kid, you have a health-card?

It's OK, he doesn't need a card.

Valeshka, I think we're out of saline.

No, we have enough.

Then do we have syringes?

Syringes? Yes, we do.

If you want me to leave you alone, I'll go.

Excuse me, for God's sake.

Well, any problems?

Look,

you must be home every day before 10:00.

Any later and I won't open the door.

And no trouble.

From school, from neighbors,

and especially from the police.

That clear?

Nothing to say?

You agree to everything I say, huh?

Good afternoon.

Good afternoon. Running a household?

Just cleaning up.

Wait a minute, are you throwing those slippers away?

We don't need them.

May I have a look?

Of course.

They're almost new!

Take them.

Thanks!

Good day. Have any crosswords?

Sure.

Take your pick.

I'll take these two. How much?

50.

Thanks.

What would you like to order young man?

Coffee.

"Americano"? "Espresso"?

A big cup, with milk.

"Americano".

Coffee. Something else?

Maybe a nice pastry?

No, nothing sweet.

How about a sandwich?

I'll have whatever you bring.

Pardon...

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Bon Appetit!

Bill, please!

What are you doing here?

Come in, we'll talk in the morning.

Attention, get ready.

Natasha, are you ready?

Gleb, I'm always ready!

Speed...

Camera...

Action!

Second camera...

Natasha...

No matter what's going on,

stay cool with 'Novapasyet'!

Stop!

Thank you.

Thanks everyone, that's a wrap!

Take off your shoes, you'll damage the trim.

Turn it down, please.

Hello.

Yes.

How?

Something happen?

I'm sorry.

I swear it won't happen again.

Alyosha, I won't ask where you were last night.

That was the first and the last time.

One more trick like that

and it's back where you came from.

Is that clear?

Yes.

You want me to treat you like a man?

act like one and keep your promises.

Why did you throw away the slippers

and the bathrobe?

We don't need them.

Okay, I have a 'legal' holiday today

we should honor that

and spend it properly.

Let's go to the river.

May be.

'Lyosha

Would you like to learn

how to drive?

I sure would!

Natasha, no need to do it yourself. I'll do it later.

Let me dry the dishes at least. Where's a towel?

I'll get you one.

She's so young, and already a widow!

That won't last long.

Why? Does she have someone?

That's nonsense!

There's nobody. They were a perfect couple!

Happy Birthday Natasha

Hello, Olya?

Please come over.

I can't be alone.

Well, how are you?

Super!

Where you going?

'Business'.

What 'business'?

Secret.

Good luck!

Thanks.

You're in charge of the house,

but, please, don't throw anything away!

And buy us something 'interesting' for dinner.

Bye.

Hi.

Hi. Come on in.

What's wrong?

Whose?

Hi.

Galya, come meet someone.

This is the kid

who threw your slippers away.

A pleasure.

Galya.

Well

that's that

let's have some tea.

Misha, it's late.

Will you stay?

Not today.

I'll walk you out.

"I'm happy. Galya."

Delete Message?

Interesting?

Yes.

Want to be a doctor too?

No.

Then what?

Don't know yet.

At your age I dreamed

of being an actress.

When I was six

I wanted to work in a candy factory

or, at least, sell ice-cream.

Wait here.

Stay!

This one?

No, the one to the right.

This one?

Yes.

230-40

Don't buy that!

Hello. Why?

I tried it, it's awful.

Which one's good?

The green pack, with the camels.

Give me the green pack with camels, please.

This one?

Mm-hm.

Oh, I forgot something in the shop.

You go ahead, and I'll catch up with you.

Okay.

Kostik, Kostik, let's go.

Sorry, I bought this but decided to

get the tea in the red tin.

Hallo. Yes, Misha. Give me 5 min. to finish backups.

Yea, big kiss.

Please.

Why are you so serious?

These are for you.

Today's our first anniversary.

Oh! Thank you!

To the restaurant!

You're right! Today is July 19.

How could I forget?

You're the man of my dreams.

Do you believe it? I envy myself.

I do.

Misha, before we start celebrating

I'd like to ask you a question.

Go ahead.

Alyosha is a great kid, but...

But you must admit it can't last forever.

I may be a bit dramatic, but

anything could happen.

Are you ready to be completely responsible for him?

Okay, what do you suggest?

Well, I don't know,

we need to think.

I'm sure there are many options

to suit both Alyosha...

and us.

Galcha, let's talk about it later.

Today is our day,

you agree?

I agree.

I love you so much!

What the fuck you want, kid?

Looking for Kuzma.

I'm Kuzma.

Wait here.

"Galya, can't talk. Where r u?"

"Home"

"can u come out?"

"Why?"

"Surprise :)"

"What?"

"See :)"

"I'm outside"

"Go to the institute"

What's wrong with him?

He's unconscious. Multiple fractures.

We've been searching for you. Thank God we thought to call your mom.

My cell phone is gone, I can't find it.

"Arrived"

"go to the lab"

Hey kid,

were you in that cheesecake ad?

Yes.

Our foreign visitors saw you on television

and they would like to have a photo with you.

Would you mind?

OK.

Yes. Closer.

Smile.

Cheese!

"Next?"

"Right desk drawer"

Action!

Good morning. 'Olten'...

'Oilten'...

Stop!

Natasha, that's good, but make your smile more natural, will you?

Action!

Good morning. 'Olten'...

Stop!

Natasha. Personal troubles should be left at home.

We're working here, okay?

Action!

Stop!

What's wrong with you Natasha?

I just can't smile today.

Are you trying?

Fucking Sarah Bernhardt...

Fuck you.

Girl, the subway is full of girls like you

one call and I can replace you.

Go ahead.

Hi.

Come on, I'll help you.

Easy! Your boots...

Now the other.

Right, left...

into the room.

Careful!

At least eat a little bit.

I beg you.

Please.

You'll be late for work.

People are sitting there waiting for you.

Don't give a shit!

Should I call and tell them you're sick?

Should I?

Fuck off.

Idiot! Are you crazy?

Do you want to die? You moron!

Idiot!

You're a doctor!

What?

Doctor!

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Were you in that ad for cheesecake?

Yes.

Have you tried it yourself?

No.

It's immoral.

The cake was disgusting.

I had to throw it out.

You should be ashamed.

You're shameless!

Nobody home.

Where is she?

She went to sell her summer cottage.

Thank you.

Hello!

Don't you remember me?

Hello. No.

We were in that ad together, remember?

Ah.

Yes, I do.

That's heavy. Let me help you.

Yes, it is,

but your arm is bandaged.

No problem. I'll use the other one.

This way.

Well, here we are.

It's beautiful here.

Really?

Don't you like it?

Don't know, don't care.

Was that place by the store

the only place where you put

your notice about the cottage?

Um, yes.

May I ask you

don't put up

any more ads anywhere.

Why?

I'll find you a buyer.

Actually,

I've already found one.

Ok.

Goodbye.

I'm not saying we should buy this house.

We don't have the money, anyway.

We just have convince her not to sell it!

Listen, I don't understand!

First you say we need some fresh air.

Then you say we should buy some house,

and now you tell me we shouldn't!

What do you want me to do? I'm not going anwhere.

You're a doctor.

You must help those who aren't well!

And she isn't well!

But I don't even know her.

Yes, you do!

Let's go, we need to buy a cheesecake.

What the hell are you talking about? Cheesecake?

You can have tea here.

In the evening too?

Sure.

You can turn on the lamp and watch the moths.

Yes, a beautiful lamp.

It's old.

Come on, I'll show you the house.

Natasha, please forgive me.

I don't really want to buy this house.

I can't afford it.

So why are you here?

No idea.

He brought me here.

Let's have some tea!

Where's the kettle?

In the kitchen, on the stove.

What about teabags and stuff?

In the cupboard. I'll do it.

No, no. I'll do it. You two have a seat.

Strange.

Seems like it's been a very long time since we were in that stupid ad.

Yes, a different life.

My husband's hobby.

He was killed.

A month ago.

Thank you.
