All Devils Be Damned.
- This adult fairy tale features:
Ivan and Marya,
simple
newlyweds.
Vasilisa,
simply
Marya's friend.
The cat,
simply a friend of the house.
Yadviga,
simply Baba Yaga.
And these
are evil spirits.
- To this millionth wedding,
to the sweet couple in love
we now hand over our screen.
May Marya and Ivan
be happy forever.
We congratulate them heartily.
All those who can love like this
can never be parted from each other!
- Never?
Hah, that's a laugh.
I can
break anyone up.
- Kiss, kiss!
All happy folk into dust
we will grind, believe me.
- If people feel good,
We feel bad.
Oh, we feel bad.
Bad
as death.
- Looking for a room to rent.
Students.
Looking for a room.
Teachers.
Need a room right away.
Husband, child and wife.
It's all the same.
Everybody's looking,
nobody's letting.
- Yeah,
the outcome's not so hopeful.
Still, we'll put our ad up there as well.
- They'll rent a room.
Fantastic!
My next steps are crystal-clear.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on.
Do you want to rent a room?
A luxurious room
I can offer you.
Life will become like a song
for you and your wife.
It's cool in the hot summer,
The entrance is from the garden.
The spacious bathroom is tiled blue.
And there will be a fridge;
I'll put in mine.
The hot water is working,
and telephone, and gas.
A hammock in the shady garden
I will hang up for you.
A loggia with two bedrooms
And a television too.
And it's not black and white, it's colour.
In short, I'm letting you heaven on earth.
- Well, that's a shame.
How frustrating.
I can hear,
But can't look in.
- Come on, get a drill real quick.
Drill a hole right through the wall,
So that we can spy on them.
Now let's get down to business.
Do you get my drift? - We got it. - Break up the family.
- Don't get caught in the house. Got it? - Got it.
- Then get started.
- May joy dwell inside this home,
May the children frolic in it.
- A son for dad, a daughter for mummy.
I wouldn't mind being their nanny.
How's work going?
- I'm quite sweet on my kids.
Dear to me is my kindergarten.
Where'd I be, without those lads?
- Stop arguing amongst yourselves,
You must hurry and break them up.
Why're you lazing about in the house?
Get to work,
you idle slackers!
- Wow, it's really hot today.
Like in a devil's underworld.
- If we devils are called, we show up right away.
We don't keep others waiting long.
- Gossip, witchcraft... - Chance and fate...
Supply us devils with our clients.
Yes, it's people who need us, and not we them.
They don't swear for no reason, after all.
- The devil knows...
- To the devil with it.
- Devil take it. - I don't give
a devil's damn.
[BEER]
[No Beer]
- As always -
When summer comes,
there is no water, nor beer.
- What's water?
Water's nothing.
Water is nothing.
We have a bottle... - ...Of cognac.
Half a hundred years old.
You're going to love it, what a bouquet. - I'll not have any.
- Come on, old man.
- There's no occassion; not my habit.
I'll be a third wheel to you.
Though I'd like a beer, that's true.
It's hot. - A beer, what a marvel!
Okay.
Then a beer it will be.
[No Beer]
- Marvellous! Are you guys artists?
Or perhaps illusionists? - Don't be silly.
It's just a joke.
- Uh, just you hold on a minute.
- Well, so long, go break a leg!
Goodbye now, I've got to go.
- Don't be in a hurry to escape us,
We've got ladies, extra class.
Likewise, extra class.
- Vanya needs
to be rescued,
Something needs to be done.
It'll take a long time to wash it off,
But people are scared
to death of a black cat, everywhere.
Meow!
- It's still a hassle for us to work,
We don't want to work up a sweat.
Wherever we are working, We try to not be working.
We try to not, we try to not We try to not be working.
Finally.
Look.
She's coming. - Maybe we'll get lucky with her.
- Oops. - Have we met somewhere?
Ah. Down south, last summer.
- I have never been down south,
I haven't had a holiday at all.
- That's so romantic.
Oh, you're cinegenic, a wonderful profile.
- Oh, enface. - I'll film you for the movies.
- He's a famous film director. - What's there to discuss?
I intend that you be famous, every night will be enchanting.
Palm trees, stars, and many takes.
Beaches... - It's hard to describe it all. Restaurants,
Shish-kebabs and boulevard lights.
- Your offer is flattering,
but I've really got to go.
- Maybe we're going the same way.
We have a car, we'll give you a lift. - No, no, no.
Thank you, I'll walk.
Vasilisa, good to see you.
- Had your joke? Well, that's enough.
[FISHING]
- Bah, these faces are familiar.
What are you milling around for?
Two dudes and their hostess.
Come on, cat,
ponder this puzzle.
- The door's open.
Come on in. - I didn't call you first, excuse me.
Maria sends you a pie.
- Thank you very much, my friend.
Only, I do not eat flour.
- Even a little? - Even a little.
- If you're so strict with your diet,
why do you smoke so much?
- The Tibetan diet also allows cigarettes.
- I haven't heard of that one.
And you like to wear men's shoes? - Me?
Oh, yeah.
It's easier for me to walk in it than in heels.
I'm on my feet all day long.
- I have held you up, goodbye.
- Come on out, you two fools. - Why insult us in that way?
- I shouldn't insult,
but beat you lot.
- That's the reward for our hard work? - Your hard work...
Are you guys nuts?
What, do tell, have you managed?
You let Ivan get away!
You also didn't entice Marya!
- You give it a try, yourself.
- 'Twas a mistake...
...to involve you lot.
I was just about to say:
I'm taking this project over.
- The swift river spoke
On a bright night to the glowing moon:
"How I would like to build
a marvelous ladder between us."
- The moon answered her: "my heart
Is overjoyed by these welcome words.
I'll come down the rainbow to you
to plunge into the streams of light."
And since then they were engaged,
and are never separated.
And under silent willows
the moon's reflected in the river.
- I can help you dress up this beauty.
- Dressing her is my job.
You, though, can handle this photo.
- Cut out Vasilisa from there.
Glue Ivan into that spot.
It'll be difficult, without practice.
Okay, let's glue eyelashes up here.
So that this girl, the rival,
Would be modern and quite pretty.
- That's quite a heel!
And what if I should slip? - You'll hold on!
We're all set.
You look just like a lass, really.
- To make her more seductive, she should maybe have...
...more form.
- And she's as slender as a master of sports.
Well, break a leg. - The devil take it!
- Pardon me, entering without knocking.
There's a lady looking for you, Vanyusha.
- Vanya, Vanechka, my dear.
My dear man. I've been looking for you,
Going mad. Why did you
not write to me?
Never mind, I will forgive you. - I don't
understand a thing.
- What is this?
What's this performance?
- Oh!! A rival!
Treason!
I was pining for you, far away,
But I see you've found someone else.
And what about our kids?
Vanya, what will become of the little ones?
- This is nonsense.
What kids?
- What kids?
These ones here.
- Masha, honey, where are you going?
- This, Vanechka,
is the payback.
For the treason,
for the children.
- Hurry, bid each other farewell.
- Well, Yadviga,
job well done.
It's a wrap,
that family's done!
- What's the trouble?
- Ivan...
turned out to have, strangely enough,
another wife.
- Who would that be? - This is her.
There's a picture of their kids, too.
- Something seems a little strange.
Stop!
What's this? That is Kolya,
that is Lena, that is Olya.
This is Katya, here's Marat.
But this is my kindergarten!
What the hell is this?
I was the one leading them,
and now suddenly you're in the photo.
Oh, that's a crude job.
- I almost broke my leg.
Almost became disabled.
"I'll take care of it myself!"
Remember how you hissed at us.
- Look at you two talking!
Who's the mistress here, have you forgotten?
May you rot, the devil take you!
- Hey! Don't wear your throat out yelling.
- Oh, you old snake!
- I'm a snake?
You will...
I will...
- It's hard to live without happiness for people, and we'll try to find it,
we will not just wait for luck to come.
