THE WRESTLER AND THE CLOWN
Screenplay Nikolay Pogodin
Direction Konstantin Yudin Boris Barnet
It's all or nothing!
I bow before "Ivan the Great"!
Hello Nikitka!
What a smell! Just by being near you I'd get drunk!
Hello!
But get out of here!
Hello Ivan Maximovich!
Ivan Maximovich Poddubny is an old friend of mine!
But he's not a bastard like I am!
How are the profits going, guys?
In Odessa...
Well, do you accept me ?
Why are you still quiet, are you idiots?
Don't fear, I don't want them to steal the bread...
I came to the city with other motives.
Good day.
Goodbye, men.
I'll tell you : you're just a bunch of cretins!
If you knew the man you insulted !
He's a worker like no other!
We're not against ! Come on, call him back!
It's not so easy.
Poddubny has character, he's not a bum like me.
The wrestling championship continues with prizes.
The Turk, Abbas Kipchiak, the Italian, Semipatia...
The Russian is Lurich...
Mister!
How do I get to the circus?
To get to the circus, take these stairs...
Then continue ahead, then turn to the right.
- At the end, take the Deribassovskaia... - What?
The Deribassovskaia, and there, to the right.
- Then to the right... - Thank you very much.
Excuse me. You're a wrestler?
Indeed I am.
- Do you want to work in the circus? - Yes.
Me too.
Are you by any chance an artist ?
Yes, I was, but the circus burnt down.
- Anatoly Durov. - Ivan Poddubny. Let's go!
What attracts you to the circus?
They say I have a particular force and an invincible heart.
I've always liked the circus. Since I was only a boy!
I even ran away from home!
You can't imagine what I suffered!
Use your strength, please!
Dad, I love Orlando, and we'll marryn that's all !
I'll throw you out on the street along with your lover!
Don Giuseppe! Esterina and I love each other!
I beg you! We want your blessing!
She wants to marry this idiot!
And what do you want?
- We want to talk with Mr. Truzzi. - Truzzi what ? I am Truzzi!
What the hell do you want?
If Truzzi doesn't accept me, I'll kill myself.
I have my wife and my son in an inn with my wardrobe...
and I only have one ruble left.
Don't worry.
I'll win something at the port. It'll work out.
How are you doing?
Let's go!
Let's go! You're losing courage!
Why must he shout like that ?
What do you want?
- We want to work for you. - What can you do? The big guy?
Yes, I fought a little in the Feodosia circus.
What do you mean by... "a little"?
A little.
And what's this? What happened?
Why are you coming down?
Excuse me, Mr. Truzzi.
- I have to rest a little. - What?
How can you tell me that? One must work!
Then you are a simple man. An lumpen one.
What do you mean "lumpen"?
- A bum. - No, I'm not a bum.
It's not hunger that brings me here.
Ask Lurich about his encounter with the longshoreman at the port.
Ah, I know this man...
What's that ?
Are you alright?
It's nothing, thanks.
I'm tired, nothing more.
What a girl!
She can't work in the circus!
She eats little, and badly.
She doesn't have the strength for a career in the circus.
This is force!
Come on, let's sign the contract.
- Mr. Truzzi. - Yes, what do you need?
- I'm a buffoon. - A buffoon? What is that?
- Durov ! - Durov. Never heard.
Give me an opportunity!
- Mine is a very demanding public... - Just one!
I don't need a clown from the Russian barracks.
A clown is an artist.
We're going to sign the contract.
- Sir. - Yes?
Test him!
If this man fails, I'll work a week for free.
Take him, you won't regret.
Good. I'll give him an opportunity.
Let's sign the contract.
Change that face...!
Do you feel better?
- Yes, a little. - Are you feeling dizzy?
Let's go! Let's go!
Thank you.
It's nothing.
The world lies at our feet! Truzzi hired me...!
What's up with you?
- The boss confiscated the wardrobe. - What?
The boss took away our wardrobe.
And why?
To account for what we owe him.
What a cretin!
It doesn't matter. Don't cry. We'll find a solution!
There's still time.
One moment.
Close the door.
What are you thinking of making?
An unparalleled clown suit!
When the boss sees it he will be petrified.
What are you doing?
Wait and you'll see!
He has a fabulous suit! It shines on all sides.
After him, with these clothes, we'll look like idiots!
Enrico ! Truzzi doesn't like clowns from the barracks.
I am a clown.
I also want to be famous. Like everyone else!
And it doesn't matter to me if, for the public, I'm nothing more than a laugh.
There was an age in which fools made kings laugh.
And sometimes told them the truth.
But I don't want to offend anyone.
And if I do offend someone...
I apologize beforehand...
because I want to entertain, not to infuriate.
And that's why I keep making jokes...
What are you doing here?
Mr. Durov, don't you hear?
No.
- You seriously hear nothing? - No.
Where are those moans coming from?
They're my assistants.
Call them in, please.
I'll be glad to!
Let's go to my office.
My beloved piglet, behave well.
Don't follow the example of the big pigs.
You're terribly audacious!
Where did you learn those things?
Haven't you been with the big pigs?
If I give you some sugar, will you behave yourself?
Who taught you to graft off?
Could it be some pig bureaucrat?
I don't get it. What is this farce?
It's a satire, Your Excellency.
Satire?
It's not amusing.
Tolya, see to getting your pay.
Trunzi said you're hired.
Well...
Come.
Mr. Tanzi, you can congratulate me! I'm hired.
Congratulations...! Bravissima!
That Russian piglet brought him luck.
One must teach him a lesson.
"Come by the pharmacy next to the circus tonight.
"It's a very important matter.
"When we meet I'll explain everything.
"My respects. Mimi"
- What are you looking at? - You've been here an hour.
I ordered a lot of medicine before it started to rain...
...and you were already walking by here. Are you a spy?
Worse, my little one ! I'm a desperate, gallant guy.
Ah, gallant guy!
Indeed, you're a gentleman! You waited for me.
My friend has problems.
Tell me how I can help.
How can you help us?
Marry Orlando and all is resolved.
How can I do that without my parents' blessing?
Durov and I will bless you.
- He will agree? - I'm sure of it.
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
Oh, she loves him so much !
What Mimi !? Marusia! Marusia Nicolaevna!
Where are you from?
I was born in Elz.
My parents cursed me after I ran away from home.
I...
I wanted so much to work in the circus.
- Do you like me? - Yes.
Maria Nicolaevna, I have for you very serious intentions.
If it's so, I'm very pleased.
You've made me lose my head.
I've suffered for you ever since the moment in which...
- What moment? - When I saw you in the ring.
- Don't remind me. - I won't.
I won't.
Will we be happy?
Very happy, Marusia.
Enrico! Hello!
What are you buying?
Gypsum.
- Gypsum... for the face? - Yes.
- What's up with you? Are you angry? - Yes!
Do you have a pair of weights?
- How many? - Two or so.
I'll find them now. Pay at the register.
- What do I charge him? - The lime!
How can you carry them?
It's very easy.
Is he a wrestler?
No, I know all the wrestlers in the circus.
And this one I've never seen.
Mr. Poddubny!
An idea just occurred to me.
While you greet the public...
...I enter from there, and offer you this bouquet of flowers. So then.
You take it, smell it, begin to sneeze...
...get mad and throw it in the ring.
I then give you my hand in congratulations. You press it...
No, not like this!
It's not meant seriously...!
Later I'll do jokes for the public.
Here's your costume.
What's the point of this farce?
Truzzi imagined a surprise for the public.
Alright! Let him imagine!
I don't understand. The championship is near to the end... Why this farce?
The public thinks it's about to finish...
but in fact, it has only begun.
My face burns. My eyes...
Mr. Poddubny, you must leave now.
- Do you remember your part? - Yes.
- Sir, can I ask you a question? - Sure!
- Can I challenge your wrestlers? - You surprise me.
- Who do you want to challenge? - Whoever will come.
Very well! And now go...
Can someone come?
Someone help me, please!
Who is it?
The clown Anatoli Durov!
Due to unforeseen circumstances,
Anatoli Durov's number is suspended.
The show goes on!
But what happened to you?
I don't know. My eyes burn, my face...
How painful!
- Doctor, what is it? - His face is burning.
- Perhaps lime was used... - Lime?
Doctor, take him to the hospital immediately.
Take a car.
What pain!
Referee! Please!
You'll do the announcement at the sports gala.
Wrestlers, to your positions!
To the ring!
Occupy your places!
Where are you going? The public awaits.
Ladies and gentlemen!
Today is the last day of the championship!
The gala parade!
Ladies and gentlemen!
Today...
... the jury of our championship will deliver...
... the prizes to the winners!
Gentlemen of the jury...
... announcer, sir... Can I ask a question?
It's Ivan Maximovich!
What is your offer?
Can I challenge the wrestlers?
You surprise me!
- Who did you want to challenge? - Whoever will come.
- What'd you say? - I said: whoever will come!
- This man, too?
Ladies and gentlemen!
I have to consult with Mr. Truzzi!
I plead him to approach the ring.
And who are you?
Ivan Poddubny, longshoreman of Feodosia.
How can you demonstrate for us...
... your physical force?
Give me a horseshoe.
And what other way?
I can make the sign of the cross with a weight in my hand.
And what more can you do?
I can pick you up and toss you to the heavens!
Gentlemen of the jury...
Our respectable public wants...
to contemplate the actions of this powerful stranger.
I insistently plead that you attend to the request...
... of our respectable public.
At the demand of our respectable public...
... the match will begin between the winner of the championship,...
the Black Mask! ...
...and the Longshoreman of Feodosia...
- What's your name? - Poddubny.
Mr. Poddubny!
The fight with the cinch.
Attention! In 33 seconds...
Mr. Poddubny has the Blask Mask down!
I challenge the longshoreman to a wrestling match!
Ladies and gentlemen!
The Black Mask wants revenge for tomorrow!
It's in accordance with the rules...
...of classic, Greco-Roman wrestling!
What do you have?
My congratulations, sir!
- What are you doing? - I'm going to break your head!
What did I do to you?
You didn't perhaps put the lime in Durov's box?
Help!
You're breaking my hand!
- Did you? - Yes!
Let's go!
Come!
Mr. Poddubny, I beg you to listen to me!
I behave like trash, but we're all like wolves!
It's custom to annihilate the competition!
Don't denounce me!
- Mr. Poddubny, don't denounce me! - Shut up or I'll kill you!
If you denounce me, my career in Russia will be over!
I will die hungry!
If something happened to his eyes, I'll kill you!
I am the only support of two elderly parents!
Ah, yes? Tolya!
What should I do?
How's Durov?
Durov? Who's Durov?
- The actor! The clown! - Ah, the clown!
He's well. The woman is with him.
- How are his eyes? - Yes... the eyes?
The doctor says he won't lose sight.
You can consider yourself lucky...
And don't approach me. I don't like wolves.
Get away or I'll crush your head!
Many thanks.
Sir, where are you going?
Durov is ill and Orlando isn't here. Not even Esterina...
Where the devil are they?
They're going to ruin me!
Who can tell me where they are?
Who can tell me?
Who?
Mr. Director, I'll tell you the truth...
So they finally married, no? Who helped them?
Don't put it like that. They're in love!
Durov and I helped them.
It was Durov! Get him out in the street, now!
And you too, fast! No, I'll speak with you later!
Mademoiselle Mimi!
Today, you'll do Esterina's number.
- Whatever you say. - What are those sloths doing?
Leave now!
Mr. Director!
- Then I'll go too. - Do you want to ruin my business?
You're not going to succeed.
You're under contract. You work here...
... until the end of the championship. If not, I'll send you to the shadows.
Go! You're a beast.
Yes, a beast...!
But I'll let nobody ruin my circus.
I'm so nervous! The first time is always terrible!
Nothing will happen, Marusia.
Courage! The first time, I trembled too.
The leap from under the dome of the circus!
The number is performed without a net.
The Director requests the most absolute silence.
Marvelous!
Very well! Now go greet the public.
Smile!
It was all a success! Now you should return to the ring.
No, I can't go on.
- Should I announce the next number? - Wait.
Mimi?
I'm tired.
I'll enter in the interval, so Mimi can rest a little.
So? A little better?
Now go do the pirouette.
- I'm tired. - Mimi, you're an artist!
So?
Smile!
Marusia! Marusia!
Ivanushka.
What happened to you?
I always said Marusia can't work in the ring!
Her heart is too weak...
Announce the next number.
- Moreno, to the ring! - To the ring!
To the ring!
And where will you go now?
Solomonsky wants me for his new circus in Moscow.
Good...
And you?
I have to fight, unfortunately...
If it weren't for the contract, I'd return to the country.
- Why to the country? - My father would be furious...
- ... if I don't go. - No, you won't return to the country.
Fighting is your life...
I no longer have a life.
I don't need anything more.
- We'll meet again. - Alright.
Poor Vanya!
THE TOUR OF ANATOLI DUROV
THE TOUR OF DUROV ARRIVES IN MOSCOW
Come in.
It's so good to see you!
You don't know yet?
I only know that a friend is here who I haven't seen in a year...
I've come to...
to express my admiration...
You're the king of the clowns!
I'm only the king of fools, but not the fool of kings.
You're the best clown in the world...
... who has the courage to perform without a white mask.
My dear Enrico, since my colleagues put lime in my makeup...
It was I...
I can't believe it...!
It's an old custom to give and receive blows.
The German strike the French, the French the Italian...
Now you can show me the exit.
I understand, Enrico.
I understand.
- Tolya, you're still here? - I can't work today.
You're tired?
How is he?
He's sleeping.
Is something worrying you?
Yes, my son is gravely ill.
I beg you! Anything you need, count on me!
Many thanks.
Let's go!
- You come recommended by Mr. Durov? - Yes.
You don't know what you're getting into.
Yes, I know it.
The spectacle ruined me today.
He thinks he can do anything, but I'm the boss, you know?
Yes, you're the boss.
But Mr. Durov's son is very sick.
He can't work.
Really?
Let's see!
It's him, looks like the playbill...
We're here for you.
We have orders to take you to the boss.
Get dressed warmly, sir.
The boss made the accusation in the precinct.
You haven't respected the contract.
Let's go.
Listen...
My son has just died...
That God receive him in His kingdom!
Let's go!
I'm a clown.
I also want to be famous. Like everyone else! ...
I don't want to offend anyone... But if I do... beforehand I apologize
To entertain my desire, not to infuriate... So then...
I'll begin...
Anatoli, know that I'm with you in sentiment!
My beloved beasts!
Perhaps it's time for us to leave for the south.
Yes, the hour approaches...
To the south? And the contract?
No, don't do that!
Don't go, Anatoli Leonovich!
I'll revise all the accounts and I will pay you.
I've sold out nine shows and they're anticipating you!
My beloved German!
If you manage to calculate...
the years of life that the show will cost me today...
I'll stay with you forever.
Don't go!
If you do, I'll have to refund everything...
to the last kopek!
I'll leave, Mr. Solomonsky, I'll pay you and leave.
You haven't enough money !
He has enough.
Friends will help you.
Once again in Odessa...
Don't waste any time! Come see the tour of A. Durov!
Ivan Maximovich, don't you remember me?
I'm the one who told you how to get to the circus.
- Ah! Hello? - How are you?
- I wish you the best! - How are things?
- I'm good, I'm good!
- Have you come to work here? - Yes.
One other thing I wanted to tell you...
Come see the famous trainer Anatoli Durov!
Nikifor, music!
They're arriving now!
Today we have in our house an exceptional banquet!
Ivan Maximovich, before leaving for St. Petersburg...
... say some words of goodbye for the longshoremen.
Fill your glasses with vodka!
Guys...
friends...
longshoremen!
You don't know the fear this trip to St. Petersburg gives me...
where I'll have to face wrestlers from all around the world.
But one must go.
I thank you for your friendship, and this food.
Thanks for inviting me, and for your company.
Let's do a toast!
Mr. Durov.
Come here.
I looked for you all over the city.
- How can I help you? - Read.
Hold this, please.
"Roosters, chickens, hares, dogs, pigs...
"... rat trainers at liberty. " What's so terrible?
Where did they go to stop these rats?
"At liberty. "
You can't use the word "liberty" here. It's prohibited.
Has it been such a long time since we suppressed the rebellion...
... of the Battleship Potemkin? No!
What are we going to do with you?
I try...
not to have problems with the police.
- So you're going to have them. - If you want...
I'll accompany you in the direction of the circus.
Drink, Mr. Policeman, drink something!
Accompany me.
Indiukov!
- At your orders! - Who has given permission?
- At your orders! - Silence!
Who has authorized that he drive a cart drawn by a pig?
- This man is a clown. - So arrest him for me!
- At your orders... - Your excellency...!
no law prohibits the use of pigs in carts.
Indiukov!
This man... do you know who you're speaking with?
He doesn't know...
- I have no idea. - I'm governor of the city.
Stand, when you speak to me!
My name is Zelyoniy (green).
Ah, Green!
I'll wait for you to mature, and then I'll stand.
Indiukov, let's go!
What are you thinking of doing?
Soon you'll know. Pour!
I'll dedicate the farewell ceremony...
to the governor "Green".
Ivan Maximovich!
Hey!
- How are you? - How?
- I asked you how you were. - What did you say?
Nothing, nothing...
Don't you think this pig looks like the governor?
He must disappear from the city in the next 24 hours!
THE TOUR OF DUROV IN EUROPE
BERLIN THE CLOWN ANATOLI DUROV
LONDON
PARIS
MADRID
A bear in superb condition.
And who are you? What do you want?
My name is Fish.
I come to propose something colossal.
I take you on a world tour:
Berlin, Rome, Madrid, London,
New York, Paris... All around the world!
All around the world?
Interesting... And the conditions?
You shouldn't defeat Buchet.
- What? - A tie is ok.
You can go to hell, Mr. Fish!
- What did you say? - To hell!
- So you don't accept... - No.
What a pity!
Such a good bear... but stupid.
Apply it well...
so it penetrates the skin.
Raoul...
You'll do that some times.
Do what I tell you.
We can't do this.
Then you can go now.
Up until now, I have always coached wrestlers...
... never charlatans.
You can go to hell!
Mr. Buchet!
Mr. Buchet, think about what you're doing.
Go away!
Read all about it!
The fight between Ivan Poddubny and Raoul Buchet.
The visit in Russia of the Greek King Constantino!
Evening edition!
The strike in the factories of the River Amur.
My friend! I see you've been drinking...
It doesn't matter. Sit down.
- You're in trouble? - Yes.
- Which sort of trouble? - I quit work.
- But it's no worth getting drunk? - It's worth!
I still can't find work because I'm honest.
Who imagined that the types they're looking for are charlatans?
Who are you talking about?
I'm talking about my ex-boss, and the boss of my ex-boss.
- That doesn't mean you have to drink! - I have to!
They want to play a dirty trick on the Russian champion.
And I'm not taking part in that.
- Who's plotting? - What difference does it make?
A dirty trick, I'm telling you!
The International Championship continues!
Now the decisive match will begin...
... for the title of World Champion!
Bring out the contenders!
The great French champion of wrestling...
Raoul Buchet!
The Russian champion, undefeated until now...
Ivan Poddubny!
Olive oil.
He's completely covered in oil.
Judges, my adversary was greased with olive oil.
- It's impossible to fight. - No oil, no!
Well, yes, it is! That's olive oil!
Olive oil!
Gentlemen!
The members of the international jury have confirmed...
that Mr. Buchet's skin...
has a strange greasy substance.
The jury has determined that the match will continue...
and that Mr. Buchet will be dried...
every five minutes.
Gentlemen!
I demand that, following such a dishonest gesture...
this wrestler be disqualified.
- Go to the ring! - No!
Mr. Poddubny, continue the match!
I'm accustomed to fighting honestly.
This is a farce!
- On with the match! - No!
The refusal of the Russian champion...
... will be considered as a defeat.
The winner is Mr. Raoul Buchet!
A boogeyman!
The boogeyman!
Children... You don't remember me?
I'm the son of Mr. Poddubny!
- The boogeyman! - I'm not the boogeyman!
I'm not the boogeyman. I'm Poddubny's son.
What would I be the boogeyman for?
Oh! My son!
Mom!
Don't cry. I'm back for good.
Don't cry.
- Good tidings, Ivan Maximovich! - Good tidings, Ivan Laurentich!
Good tidings!
Good tidings, Ivan Maximovich!
She's our Lenka... You don't recall her?
Hi Lena! And where's dad?
In the country.
Mikolka, run and tell Uncle Maxim to return home.
- Ivan has returned! - Hello good people!
Don't look.
Aliona, Hello!
- Good morning! - You became a beautiful girl.
Yesterday was like the arrival of a count.
What do you say!
Why did you get up so early today?
I went to see the river. It's so good here.
- And how is it in St. Petersburg? - It's a beautiful city.
Although you know: "Honey is sweet but it'll get your tongue stung. "
- The cow's escaping! - God! Come on, do something!
Trap it!
Son, take the spoon.
- No, leave it. - Take it!
My hand is trembling.
- The scythe wears it out, eh? - Yes.
- You lost the habit! - I'll get it back again.
There isn't a circus here, nor St. Petersburg, neither.
Aliona!
- Good day, Ivan Maximovich! - Hi!
Which pleasure do you find In the country. Let's go to the city!?
No, Aliona.
We'll always stay here.
I'll manage to get you to town. I have a dowry.
My secret desire is to live in St. Petersburg
to open up a business.
With your dowry we can buy a mill.
Yes, and we'll make a pile of money...
But we'll go to St. Petersburg someday!
When we're rich, surely we will!
Is dad reaping?
Yes.
Listen Ivan, buy us some tickets.
I want to see what your damned circus is like!
Leave it, it's all fake.
- I say, go and buy them! - No, leave me alone!
But I want to see it, your damned circus!
Let's go, Ivan!
- What are you waiting for? - No, it's better not to...
Ivan! Give it to him, let's go!
Do what the girl says.
Alright.
The sports review!
To participate in the championship...
the following wrestlers have arrived.
Uncle Vanya, where is the champion of Siberia, Saikin?
Saikin went crazy...
and got married. No, excuse me...
First he got married, then he went crazy.
And where is the famous wrestler...
Ivan Maximovich Poddubny?
The multi-award-winning Russian champion...
and until now unbeaten...
Ivan Maximovich Poddubny,
is actually in this city.
And in this circus.
Seated in the fifth row...
in seat number 34.
Goodbye, Aliona.
Good luck, Ivan!

IVAN PODDUBNY VERSUS MURSUK
IVAN PODDUBNY CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS
THE RUSSIAN WARRIOR IVAN PODDUBNY ARRIVES IN PARIS
FOR THE FRENCH FESTIVAL OF WORLD FIGHTING
Tomorrow is the championship!
Ivan Poddubny and Raoul Buchet will face off!
Help me! These things kill me.
Vanya, they ask if it's true that you want to defeat Buchet.
I'll only tell this:
Whether I defeat Buchet or not, we'll see in the ring.
That's all I'll say.
Vanya, it's said that you seduced a princess.
True!
Do you like the Parisians?
- What number do you wear? - Enough!
That's enough... C'est assez!
Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen. Until later!
Until tomorrow.
What does she want now?
She wants to know if you hunted bears in Russia.
Yes, I hunted them, killed them, cooked them and ate them!
The bets are strong for Poddubny.
Listen to me, Fish.
When Capulet gets serious, better to make peace.
He never loses...
- Where is he? - He's arriving now.
- You know why I've come? - I know.
- Do you want to place a bet? - For whom do you want to bet?
- I for Puddubny. - And I for Buchet.
- How much? - 10,000.
And how does 100,000 sound?
I will go to this match.
It'll be better to bet at night.
And why not now?
I should consult with my banker. The figure is very high.
It's nice to do business with a gentleman.
Where are you going to get 100,000?
The woman you knew in Paris...
will help me plunder Capulet of his 100,000.
- Where is that beast? - She's not a beast.
Unfortunately, she's a very nice lady.
She'll be there tonight.
How did you know I was a friend of the Russian champion?
Business, Madame. Business can do everything.
- You're familiar with this word? - Yes.
Sure.
Does madam like jewels?
Of course, as all women do...
This is all for you.
But... why?
You'll have to spend a night with your old acquaintance...
A happy night.
I want that Russian champion to enjoy all the pleasures of Paris.
Do you want to throw him off the saddle?
A nice evening in a restaurant will suffice.
How much?
3,000.
5,000... But later, when all is finished!
You'll see it with your own eyes.
It's nice to speak to an intelligent woman.
Vanya! What's going on?
- Go or I'll kick you out... - Get out of here immediately!
- Did you hear me? - Leave now!
The French plus!
Do you want to dishonor the Russian sport?
You, on the other hand, brought fame to our circus everywhere!
How will you be able to look people in the eyes when you return home?
If you were us, you'd hide behind a dowry.
You are an actress.
You should know what you're doing!
The day before the match! Stop!
- I don't like this company! - Stop!
Don't get angry, Tolya!
We're only doing this...
for the delinquent of high society: Fish!
- That! - There was tea in the bottles.
Mr. Capulet. Poddubny has just arrived.
He's drunk, he can't fight.
- Did he forfeit? - No.
He wants to fight, but he shouldn't.
In other words, you lose, Mr. Capulet.
Raoul Buchet, France!
Ivan Poddubny, Russia!
Vanya! Beat him! Come on!
Come on!
I'm going to teach you how to apply olive oil!
Champion of the world!
Hello Nikitka!
Welcome, Ivan Maximovich!
Let's see your breath!
He's sober!
For the occasion, I abstain... until tonight.
Accept this, beloved Ivan Maximovich.
Thank you.
Home at last!
