In the film
"Plus One"
Tomorrow at 11 a.m. we'll have an audition.
The workshop will start on Wednesday.
Here's a detailed schedule.
Tom, it's for you.
Please...
Tomorrow at eleven o'clock...
...we have a custom session for seminar participants...
Ahh... The seminar will start on Wednesday...
Here is a... ...detailed schedule.
You look very nice from your best...
What do you think, Diggy?
Humm... Don't listen to him, Masha!
He hits in all the girls like that.
You'll get used to it.
What?!... Some friend, you are...
Don't believe a word he says, Masha.
It's him we shouldn't listen to.
What is our dear guest saying?
That he likes our city very much.
What? I can't hear you.
He likes Moscow very much!
Thanks.
Tom, you can settle in
and sleep the travel off.
Why don't you settle in and have a good night of sleep.
Sleep?
Masha will pick you up tomorrow at 10:30 a.m.
Masha will pick you up tomorrow at 10:30.
And now have some rest.
And now, you can have some rest.
"Rest". We'll get going.
Now, we are leaving.
What? No...
Masha! Don't leave us!
I promise, I won't let him hit on you again.
Hoy!... I wasn't hitting on her...
Are you implying that I'm the type of guy that does that?
Listen... Please, stop this.
Yeah... See? You've gotta shut your mouth.
Look, Masha, it's our first time in Moscow... Huh?...
Come on, Mash!... We'll be lost without you.
What is he saying?
He wants to see the city and he needs an interpreter.
Sure, you'll have an interpreter.
I'm not a tour guide.
We'll pay thrice for the overtime.
Masha... I must pop to my room.
Will you join me?
No, thank you. I'll wait for you right here.
I'm digging this!...
Not bad...
You know?... I could get to like it here!
Miss, do you want a memento photo?
- No, thank you. - Real exclusive!
- A beauty and three beasts! - Photos for good memories!
- I don't like photos. - It's cheap!
- A photo with us! - Don't touch me!
- In the heart of Moscow! - Leave me alone!
Stop pawing me!
It won't hurt!
- Stop it!!! - Done! Beautiful.
You can get your picture within a month.
If you don't pick it up it will be destroyed.
That's it. Don't lose the ticket!
I haven't expected to see you...
I haven't... expected... to see you...
Half knee bends! Twist the torso!
Left! Right! Left! Right! Left!
"Priviet", Mash!
He's such a dumb ass, right, Masha?
Come on in, don't be afraid!
He's dressed now!
Dear Masha, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you.
No... He wanted to seduce you.
Diggy!...
Allright!... I'll butt out.
Masha! I'm on a loss here...
All my socks are on their own...
...yeah, you'll have to mail it to me.
Oh, along with the schedule for June.
Right.
How's the set lookin'?
Yeah?...
Really? How did that happen?
O.k... Yeah...
O.k. Look, can you tell Alfie to pay special attention to Sarah's song?
Yeah? O.k., just keep everything under control.
All right. Don't miss me too much.
I'll be back soon.
Alright? Talk soon. Yeah. Bye... Bye.
He's such a damn "kozel"...
- What the hell? - "kozel"?
Kozel...
It's just an expression.
Masha... You're tired. Will and I will talk about ourselves.
What?
He wants to talk Russian.
Ah, all right.
Ahn... Hm... "Goot", "gooto"! "Gooto".
Look, Tom, do you have "semya"?
- What's he saying? - I haven't a clue...
- A family, you know? - "Semya"?
- Family! - Ah! Family, family!
Tom Family!
That's all? That's your family?
But you have "deti", yes?
- "Deti"? - Children.
Ah... yeah. Child. Children.
Children. Child.
Ah... So you are your own kid and your own family. Allright.
Hello?
What truck?
No, it's a wrong number.
- Who's there? - Lieutenant Stepanov.
Police station 38.
What's the matter?
It's personal.
Don't be scared. Look!
It's me.
- Maria? - Yes. What's the matter?
I'm Yuri.
I'm... so to say...
the bearer of...
tender feelings...
of an ad...
admirer...
It's for you. Sign the receipt.
I'm leaving.
It's for you, so to say.
I'm so sorry, Maria.
My bad.
You're in Apt. 18,
and it was intended for Maria from Apt.21.
I'm sorry, wrong floor.
I don't mind,
but if Captain Makarov finds out...
My apologies.
I'm so sorry.
Sorry.
Hello? Tom?
Why doesn't she ever say hi to me?
Hello...
Tom?...
A lot of people in this country never smile.
I haven't ever noticed.
I don't know.
That's better?
Yes, thank you.
We'll be practicing all sorts of "foolery".
We'll play the fool...
We'll fool around with each other...
We'll even rush in with other fools foolish fear to indulge in foolishness..
Now, this is not an easy task.
Right, Diggy?
How would I know?... You haven't even introduced me yet.
I'm sorry, Diggy. I was getting carried away then.
Please, allow me to introduce you to Diggy!
And Diggy works closely with me and also participate in the seminar.
Also participate? You'll be nothing without me!
Glad to meet you, gang!
"The Diggster" at your service!
I told you... She just ignores me!
Masha! Can you kindly translate my colleague.
I'm sorry.
Meet Diggy. He's my colleague.
He'll work with me and will also participate in the seminar.
And Diggy said, "Hi, guys. The star Diggy is at your service."
- He said "gang", not "guys". - And we'll continue this nonsense...
...for almost a month.
We'll play the fool, right up to the exam.
After which, the four greatest idiots will participate in the final show.
Dudes! Go on and on... talking to yourself...
Let the neighbours call the nuthouse on you!
Yeah!...
Yeah...
Yeaaaah...
Yeah.
One hundred and four...
Is it all yours?
Masha, I think I've left my wallet in the hotel.
Can you get this for me? I'll pay you... I'll pay you back.
Ok?...
It won't be enough.
Masha!
What an asshole, right?
You, see, Mash? You shouldn't take him seriously!
Mash, you shouldn't take anything seriously, it's bad for your health.
This was your "english humour"?
What Humour?
Talk after the beep...
Masha, where have you gone to?
Be sure and come to the conference, on Monday, at 6 p.m.
...ok, ok...
...nice and straight... nice and straight... Yeah?
Good! "Aroshni"!
This...
Yes... Let me see!
Let me see! You do it!
Straight! Yeah? The right angles.
Yeah? Straight! No! Not quite! Yeah?
Good, keep it straitened, here...
...keep it up, higher, imagine you have the curtain here.
O.k. So, keep them up, yeah?!
O.k. Now keep it, you remember what I said: straight!
We're saying, yeah? Keep it straight...
Please, keep it straight, keep it on the tip of your... Absolutely!
And keep your wrists relaxed, keep your wrists relaxed!
Now just relax that wrist...
...just relax that wrist... Like that...
I forget to all the time...
Keep this straight, keep your wrists straight. Are you saying that?
Wrists straight. Is that what you're saying? Wrists straight.
Wrists straight! And relaxed. Relaxed.
Keep this up. You know what, dance together!
Have them look at each other!
Hello, hello!
Give it about... O.k! O.k!
O.k. Keep it... Please... Keep it straight... And please... Do it. Yeah?
O.k? And then keep your arms straight.
Everything straight, straight, straight, straight, straight!
No, no! Stop it! This isn't working!
Yeah? You're killing it with this dull translation of yours.
You're totally incompetent!
I need you to be professional, all right?
Yeah? Did you understand?
Dull translation of yours!
Bla, bla, bla, bla...
Little miss mundane, aren't you?
Yeah? I need you to convey to them... ...the emotional energy!
Right, guys? I need you to sing an move...
...and dance with me. I do!
I need you to sing and dance like we...
...sing and dance and shake... Dance with me! Sing with me!
You can! You can, you can, you can!
You shake your booty! Come on, please!
Sing and dance! You can, you can!...
Stop this!
I'm doing all I can, Mr. Greenwood. All I can!
But you have the right to replace your interpreter if you think that...
...that I'm... incompetent.
- Masha, wait! - Please, forgive us.
Never mind. It's all right. Good bye.
Idiot.
He's nuts.
Well, captain.
So much for your tactics...
I wouldn't come if I were her...
I've no idea what you're talking about...
Oh, come on... You get me just fine.
In fact, it's me that is baffled by you.
Why did you have to go and ruin everything?
Dude! Shut up!
Whatever... Nobody likes to hear the truth.
O.k... O.k.
I hope she doesn't turns up soon.
I'm dying for a cigarette.
Riiight... Big boy is having a problem buying his own smokes, hum?
No...
No problem...
Excuse me, do you know where I can get some cigarettes?
Small cup for 5 rubles, big one for 10.
Excuse me... Do you know where I can get some cigarettes? Cigarettes?
Excuse me, do you have some cigarettes?
No? No cigarettes.
Hey, do you know where I can get some cigarettes?
Hey, have you got cigarettes?
Hey, dude, take one!
Very special!
You speak English?
Uhh... Little bit...
What is that?
My conscience.
Hey! Hey, Mash!
Mash!
Sorry...
Mash, Mash, Mash, Look...
Check it out! Look, you can't be angry with me. Please don't be angry with me.
Masha! Mash! Look! Please! Forgive me. Masha! Masha!... Masha, I'm sorry.
Mash, you can not be angry with me. Please Masha?
Yeah? Forgive me, Masha, please?
You like it?
Masha, look, please, I was an idiot, forgive me!
Yeah, please? Watch this, watch this...
You can't maintain it, you can't maintain it.
And now,... ...we will learn how to speak!
Let's try a few sounds...
Masha, my darling...
I hope you understand I didn't mean to make you feel bad...
It's just something I need you to do.
It's essential!
Yeah?... Utterly essential!
Will you do it for me?
Please, Masha!...
Please!... Just this once.
Please...
Try it.
For me?...
Hello...
Yeah! See? 'ain't nothin' to it!
O.K.! Let's try a few words.
Summer!
In the summer, I can stay out all night!
- Hi, sweetie. - Hi, Jeniffer. Hi. Yeah.
- Sorry, I have forgotten. - Hello? - Yeah. Yeah...
- The conference has started? - I got you, right. - What?
- Yeah, but wait, that's impossible... - I'm really sorry. - Some bread, and eggs...
- Are you joking? - I'll try to be on time. - And Pampers.
- Of course... - I'm really sorry.
- I got it, ok, yeah. - See you. - Kisses, my sweetie.
- Bye, bye-bye. - Talk to you later.
Can't talk right now.
Can we stop the car, please?
- What's he saying? - He's asking to stop the car.
No problem...
He'll get lost, sure as hell.
Esmeralda, good evening.
There's no chance for me to make it today.
I can't. I'm sorry.
I'll call you later.
...so where the investors go?
What? They didn't really stop the transfer, all right?
Well... Oh, God, allrigh, yeah...
Well, look, don't worry, Jen...
Yeah, I know we're totally skinned.
We will survive. Yeah, I promise.
Something will turn up. It always has done.
Yeah?... Yeah, please! Yeah.
All right. No, I am...
O.K. Just tell the guys "big sorry",
for both of us, right in front of me, all right?
All right, Jen. Chin up. Yeah... Big Hugs, and everything...
O.K. Bye-bye. Bye.
So, why did you suddenly decide to become a puppet master?
I guess it's something that is worth anything. Ahn...
Well, I wanted to be a big movie star...
...but I wasn't made for what it did.
So, I failed to audit enough to audition...
...and I got in mind to got a job in a puppet theater,
Just a temporary position, 'till they find a puppeteer of its own...
...for a week. And that was it, really. I was...
...drawn to it forever, you know?
Just felt so right. Then I gave birth to Diggy.
- You made him yourself? - Yeah!
All puppeteers make their own puppets.
It's easy.
Hi!
So, what did you wanna be when you were young?
Well... It may sound strange...
- Well... I... I wanted to dance. - Really?
Really.
My mom was overseas all the time, and I lived with my grandma, so...
...and I made up dances!
Once I showed them to one of my girlfriends and she said that...
What did she say?
She said that it was really awkward and stupid and I...
...shouldn't show it to anybody ever again.
- How old were you?
- Nine.
Mash, I 'p an idea. May I have this dance?
No.
No, it will be very funny.
Perfect, that's exactly what we want! Please, Mash!
Come on, Mash! I will not embarrass you!
No, no. - Come on, Mash! Come on!
You'll be fine!
No, no. No, please!
I'm sorry,
very sorry.
What are you doin'? Stop. Stop this!
Come on, just relax, Masha, let it go!
No... It's easier said than done.
I got it!
Come on! Hit me! Hit me!
Looking for a sugar daddy, baby?
What are you doing? Make it bolder!
You've never done it at school?
- And now? - Good.
Just a touch here.
Now that's good.
Let's go.
It'll make her happy.
As a kid I attended
a hobby group for young artists.
Masha darling, I love you!
Hi, there!
O.K. Get stuck in...
...now pick the one that looks you straight in the eye and reaches out to you.
And remember: it's not just you choosing them.
It's them choosing you too.
No woman, no cry... Yeah...
Oh, yes! What's his name?
Zabut Flop!
Flop? How does Flop fly?
I think this jumper... This jumper looks, err...
...looks flea within. I guess fleas, you know?
Yeah, yeah, good! Closer... Yeah?
So maybe we have it in the darkness...
And then, as the sun comes up...
Slowly...
...you waken the flower.
And then, one by one...
I think the flower likes it, yes?...
Tom, I've got this tradition... How about goin' tonight to...
Oh, no, I can't tonight. I'm sorry about that. I've...
...got a conference call in the hotel.
About a show.
Are you Ok?
- How's it goin'? - Yeah, yeah. Cool. Everything's cool.
Can I try it?
Please, do!
I don't know.
And now...
...homework!
Good evening, Masha! Nice to see you.
Come in.
He does again...
Well...
How's it goin'?
Cool-ads.
Uh... You know, uh...
We need to talk.
To talk?
You came here for that?...
Yes!...
I want to say it was a great mistake.
We shouldn't have...
...you know what together.
You didn't like it?
Yes... but...
No, we shouldn't have... It's wrong...
We work together and...
Yes! Let's rewind everything and... I don't know... Press delete.
As if there were nothing between us, ok?
O.k.
If that's what you want...
Yeah...
I'm... I'm sorry.
(fuck... I don't wanna come.)
I'm going...
Sure.
See you.
Bye.
And now, let's drink for our...
...for the health of our dear guest from Great Britain.
How do you say it?
Bottoms Up!
Up! Bottoms Up!
Cheers!
Tom...
Tom,
You...
You've done a great job!
Thanks.
Bravo!
I have to introduce myself, my name is Tom.
Can I ask you for your name, please?
Name? My name is Madeleine. But I don't speak English.
Masha, help me!
Sorry...
It's a great place, you'll like it!
I'm sure I will.
Can I have a cigarette, please?
Thank you!
Don't think too hard...
Makes... ...sense.
Do you mind babysitting Diggy? One minute...
- O.k. - O.k. Thank you.
- Good night. - Bye.
- Goodbye, my friend! - Bye! - See you tomorrow!
Good night!
- Got any vodka? - No!
Damn, if you come back again
I'll nail you to the wall!
- Nail me? - With huge nails!
Well, which of you is my Prince Charming?
Goosey, goosey gander,
Whither shall I wander?
Masha, can you help me out?
I need somebody to play up to me.
- I won't manage to. - Masha, please. I need it badly.
Clean the counter, idiot.
But it's clean.
It looks very dirty again.
Stop it, what are you doing?
In a moment, you will learn the results of the exam...
Now, it's very hard for me to decide who to choose and who to leave out...
...and for those of you who didn't make into the show...
I want you to know...
...that you were the craziest idiots I ever had the pleasure of playing with.
And I hope we can fool around together someday.
So, Diggy, over to you...
Eugene...
Tanya...
Lisa...
And... Volva...
- Hi. - Hi.
How are you? I wanted to see you.
Hold On, I'll get my interpreter...
...to interpret. Mash, can you help me out?
It's Madeleine.
O.k...
- Hi. - Hi, Masha.
Tell Tom that I'm waiting for him
tonight in the club. At 9.
If you want to, come over, too.
You'll be in the guest-list as "Greenwood + 1".
- All right? - Fine.
And tell him, please... that I send him kisses.
OK.
What did she say?
She said she can't meet with you tonight.
She's very sorry, but she is busy.
Really?
O.k.
That's how it is...
Hello?
A truck? Yes, I have a truck for sale.
What kind are you looking for?
Big or small?
I have another one with a checked pattern.
Will a golden one do?
Who's joking? I have no sense of humour.
Maria?
I said a glass, just one glass!
Have a chaser.
- Let's dance. - First eat something.
Listen... Listen, it's very important.
You... You can still make it.
And... I want you... Ah... Have yours... I didn't want you...
Forgive me please, I'm a jack, I know...
But now... Err...
Madeleine is waiting for you at crisis... right now...
I know.
I called her back...
...she managed to tell me she have been waiting for me at 9.
Why did you lie?
Masha! Wait up!
Let me walk you home.
No, I don't need you to take me home.
Don't touch me!
I told you.
It's be alright. You don't have to take me... home.
Let me go!
Don't touch me!
Who do... What... What do you want, Tom?
What do you want from me?
Listen, it's not serious.
You better go home.
Let me go! Come on!
Let me... go...
No!
Put me down! I'm not your puppet!
I can decide by myself,
what I should do.
I'm going to screeeeeeaaaaaam!...
So very silly...
No, you are silly! And I'm a fool.
A couple of fools.
Priviet...
Yeah...
Yeah, ok.
I'm already packed.
Yeah... O.k... of course... I'll be down in a minute. "Ciao". Yeah, ok.
- Mornin'. - Good Morning.
- Sleep well? - Yeah...
How's your head?
I'm fine.
Reception just called.
I might miss my plane.
- What are you doin'? - I have a plan...
We lie here. As if we were sleepin'.
And then we both wake up at the same time.
Together...
- O.k.? - O.k.
One... Two... Three...
Close your eyes.
- Good morning. - Are we getting late?
Who knows. The time's pressing,
but if there's no traffic, we'll make it.
- Maybe there's a bypass? - No, there's none.
Hey, relax, Masha!
One of my girlfriends is an air hostess.
She'll pull the emergency stop. We'll make it.
Maybe I should stay?...
No, you'll make it...
Well, babe... This is it.
I'll miss you, Diggy.
Thank you...
You...
Do you know why... people, in the movies, kiss sideways?...
No, really? Why?
Hey, that's easy, dude!
With noses so big, it's the only way they can do it.
You forgot to ask him... If he's coming back.
Yes, I forgot...
Good bye.
- I'm not going. - Oh, really?
- Where am I to go? - To Europe!
We can really chill out there! Have fun and earn some dough.
- What do you want? - I want to ride a cable car!
- To eat fried bananas! - OK. Go!
Let's go!
Look, catch him!
Does this kid have parents?
- Hey, lad, you hear me? - Come here!
What does it mean, you won't dance?
- Hi. - You came to get your photos?
Lunch-break! Time for rest.
- Are they ready? - Come back in an hour.
- No, I'm serious. - Oh, stop that "hit abroad" crap.
- It's a present. - Thank you.
You have to put
some effort into it.
I'm fed up with these talks of yours.
We'll go here, we'll go there!
Look, we're taking a bus to Germany, via Poland.
We only need to apply for a Schengen visa.
What visa?! I've no hot water at home!
Yeah. What I wanna try...
Uh... I don't have practice with this.
This is us, yeah?
I don't know. I'm not a big specialist.
"Fine, Jos�".
Yeah. Try this.
- Do you speak Ru...? - Yes, I do.
It's wrong.
Take this!
Taste it.
It's real beer for the evening.
...for evening.
Evening! Beer for evening.
Wait!
Translate it. If you drink it in the evening,
next morning you'll need this.
Because otherwise...
Wait!
And that one is the best!
This One!
Ekta wa-gakta-wa... wan wan-der-full...
Ekta wan-der-full!
