Character: Anatoly Efremovich Novoseltsev. Page 2

Well?.. And what happened after the dinner?

- Why did you eat playdough?
I sugar eat!

- Think personal life! There are many other interests. I love my work. I love my work. I am respected by many. Some are even afraid. Incidentally, I have just seen the Minister, and he praised me. So I need neither your sympathy nor your protection.
I thought you were real this morning. But I was wrong. You are real now.

- I think you are the most hardworking...
Hmm! You, you!
- Don't "Um" and hardworking employee.
- What are you, Ludmila prokofievna, whether or not so to spoil me?

- Dear Anatoly Efremovich! I want to give you your due. As the saying goes, to each according to his ability, isn't it? Our guide, I mean, I was born, oddly enough, the idea: to appoint you, one of the leaders of Soviet statistics (what there to hide, ha Ha) the head of the light... Le-Agency industry. As you look at it, Anatoly Efremovich?
- Negative, Prokofia Ludmilovna. I'm inert, slow, awkward, and shy, Ludmila prokofievna. I will screw up the work of the division is easy... Le-Agency industry.

- My friends say that I have a beautiful baritone voice.... treble.
- Wait, I just guessed: are you drunk?
- No, thank you! When I'm drunk I become violent. Gee-Gee-Gee! Here. But now I'm quiet.
- I was lucky.

I haven't brought you any flowers! Why am I... What am I nuts, or what?! Henbane stuffed?!

- And, maybe, do not you have brought this ill-fated bouquet?
- No, Ludmila prokofievna, I really am.
- Well, you know! Enough! No you have no shame, no conscience!

- Let's drink to everybody's health!
- An excellent toast!

- Take off you dress! Quick, shoot! Ah! No, no. Not now, not here.
- What do you say "shoot"?

- Well, how's the cat?
- Said it best.
- Said?
- Yes, said so.
- Wonderful cat! The best cat in the world, right?

- In short, I already signed the order appointing you head of the Department.
- For what? What have I done wrong?

I have a mitigating circumstance. I love you. Love.

- And what about the circus?
- I have enough of it in life.
