Kukhnya (2012–2016): Season 1, Episode 18 - Episode #1.18 - full transcript
All girls that work in the restaurant,
deep down hope that one day
a prince charming will come
and take them away
from this world of obliging smiles.
As a rule, dreams remain dreams.
But sometimes you can meet some,
for whom the fairytale
about Cinderella became a reality.
Kristina, good afternoon.
Gelechka, but why "Good afternoon"?
May be you'll start calling me "Kristina Semenovna"?
- Keep it casual.
- I can't, I'm at work.
I totally understand you,
I've toiled here a year.
- Sashulia.
- Kris! Hi!
Hello, my darling.
- Hey, you look great.
- Thanks.
When did you come back?
The day before yesterday.
But it's so boring here,
I think to fly to Monaco.
You are so lucky!
- Good afternoon, Dmitrii Vladimirovich.
- Hi.
Good afternoon.
Hold on, sweetie, I'll check the reports
and we'll go and do some shopping for you.
- Ok, baby.
- All right, dear.
What are these funny numbers?
Why is so little we've got?
Did you forget to add some zeros?
Why is it so little?
You know, Dmitrii Vladimirovich,
this month we have very low traffic.
most probably because of the opening
of "Arcobaleno".
And what should I do?
Should I stop providing my wives,
children?
Let me, guys, maybe start taking the metro!
Dima, there are no people.
We can't drag them here by force.
We can't... I didn't manage...
It's an endless story that follows me,
since I've started to work with you.
Sorry.
Good afternoon, Viktor Petrovich.
Good afternoon, Kristinochka.
How are you?
Everything is good, thanks.
Good afternoon, Viktoria Sergeevna.
Hello.
- What dear?
- Love, will we go soon?
Of course we'll go.
Not today. Go without me
You see, we're working here
with colleagues.
And you go without me.
Here.
- I'm waiting for you.
- Go on, my dear.
Tell me why...
the moment I stop controlling here everything,
everything falls apart.
Burst at the seams on the ass
as my granny got used to say.
So from now on
In my restaurant I will control everything..
What?
Right!
... myself.
No need to roll your eyes.
-Hello.Who are you looking for?
- Hello.
- Is Kostya at home?
- Yes, just a minute.
Kostya!
Hello.
Nastya, call Kostya.
Someone is asking for him.
Ok, right away.
He just went to the bathroom.
A minute.
Maxim, he asks who is asking for him.
Tell him, that it's Svetlana Ivanovna.
The owner of this apartment.
Pardon.
Svetlana Ivanovna. You are so unexpected.
- Why didn't you tell me you'd come?
- You know, I wanted to tell you.
Now I understood, it's good that i didn't.
So Kostya, are these all housemates
or there are someone else?
That's it.
Svetlana Ivanovna,
here is the money for the apartment
for this month.
Oh, Kostya!
There's not enough.
How is that?
Well look, you are here... what?
One... Two... Three
Three.
And you are paying for one.
I don't mind.
There can be ten of you living.
But pay for everyone.
One more time, hello to everyone.
Hello. Hello, Dmitrii Vladimirovich.
Where will we start?
Dima, everything is fine here.
I'll work out, where its fine and where it's not.
Whose frying-pan is this?
- Mine.
- Yours?
Everyone, look at this frying-pan.
Tell me, why this frying-pan is here empty
and warming up on the stove?
What are you cooking there?
- I'm warming it up.
- Warming up? Cooking the air.
Here, look, the air is heated up. Eat!
Come on, dig in.
From now on,
if there is no people in the dining-hall,
we use only one stove.
Is it clear for everyone?
It's clear for everyone.
Well done. Proceed.
Light.
- Why is it so bright?
- What do you mean?
(Stammering)
Exactly, you are totally right!
Switch off all the light!
Do we cook by candlelight?
- All right, all right, I got you, all right.
- (Stammering)
All right, switch it on a bit.
Guys, let's get it together.
I understand that you don't give a damn
about my money
I invest it, and you waste it.
Get it together! Enough already.
Enough!
Hell!
Where to find so much money
within a week?
Listen...
Let's sell your watch.
You said it's expensive.
Are you nuts?
It's my granddad's trophy watch,
family relic.
Kostya, I'm a cook,
it's unreal for me to earn money.
Only if I start stealing meatballs for dinner.
But you are barmen,
you shouldn't have
any money problems at all.
What do you mean?
Don't tell me,
you don't make extra on the side.
What?
Are you serious?
You've never cheated guests?
Are you nuts? Be quiet.
Actually it's ...
...bad.
Man, they have to nominate you
for sainthood.
First honest barman.
St. Konstantin.
Anyway Kostya,
if we don't want to live under the bridge,
we have to get money.
And the only way I see it's...
barman's tricks.
You haven't heard of it?
Then listen.
There are several ways to f...
to cheat the guest
So the most common
way of cheating is...
... ice.
Ice is everything for a barman.
- Make an order.
- Whiskey with ice.
Maybe some ice?
A little bit more of coke
and just a little bit of whiskey.
Voila.
- You didn't pour enough.
- Try to prove it.
Few minutes and ice is melting
And not a single expertise
in the world will prove
that instead of entitled 50 gms
I put just 30 gms.
And this is...
take-home pay.
"Net income"
Let's talk about jiggers.
Here is a standard 50 grams jigger.
But you can earn much with it.
But if you do like this...
It's called " Spot 10 differences"
It seemed to be just 10 grams.
But throughout a day
you can save up to 2 liters.
"Net income"
There's more. Listen.
Okay, you take a glass...
- Pour me 50 grams XO cognac.
- You got it.
Please.
Here, take it.
I showed you one more way.
Guests don't understand what they drink.
And we sold him 300 rubles cognac
for 1000 rubles. Got it?
And what if they catch us?
We'll go to jail.
We won't, you are a future lawyer.
You'll get us off.
Listen, why is it so dark?
- I've almost broken my neck.
- Cost-cutting.
Ah, it's good, it's right.
Oh, Dmitrii Vladimirovich, how are you?
Here I got meat for you.
I don't understand, is it meat or a tank?
- Why is it so expensive?
- What is expensive?
This culf didn't even suspect
in the morning,
that he would go to Moscow.
- It was chewing grass in the mountains.
- Are you nuts?
For this money I can buy the whole calf
with all his family.
If you buy for this money the whole calf,
then figuratively speaking,
it has died last century.
And this one, if you listen...
you can hear how it's breathing.
It's truth, Dima.
Timur always has the best product.
The best you'll buy with your own money,
and with my money buy just... good.
Take it back.
Get it anywhere you want.
Senia, did you lose your mind?
Your oil is almost black.
When did you change it?
The owner said
to use it not less than 10 times.
Cost-cutting.
Vika...
Why is it so bright...
same as at New year night in Kremlin.
In the kitchen they are already saving electricity,
- But guests are here... people...
- It's fine... guests...
Are they moles? Are they blind?
Light the candles.
Yes, light the candles and save money.
Marketing strategy.
Dima... he is kind of inadequate.
I've never thought
that I would agree with you.
- We have to do something!
- What?!
Well...
We have to think it over.
What?
- Our rent money.
- In what sense?
Literally.
I'll explain now.
Let's assume Timur will get for us
"Good Cheap cognac"
5 liters of cognac
every week absolutely free.
This cognac we'll pour in empty bottles,
of the famous cognac brand.
These bottles we exchange
with real cognac,
that you have on your balance in storage .
After we sell it to Timur
at lower market price.
He is ready to buy for five.
And the fake one
we'll sell to our guests as an expensive one.
at appropriate price.
Got it. Cool.
But that's okay, we just tore off it's leg...
- Hi.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- Hi.
Shit, forgot to take it home yesterday.
So its you crooked the fish.
Lyova blew my mind yesterday
that I have shortage.
It's off already, throw it away.
- Are you stupid?
- Move!
Do you know how much it costs
in the menu?
- How much?
- 1500 rubles. That much!
By the way if you don't breath,
it's really good.
You are an animal.
Take off you hand!
Take your hand off, I said!
I am against it, she can't stand me.
Understand, people like Dima are unruly.
The only one who can
manipulate them somehow is a wife.
I know it from personal experience.
When you were living with Tania,
she couldn't manipulate you a lot.
Believe me, if she didn't influence me,
I would kill you long time ago.
Just trust me.
Hello, Kristinochka, hi.
It's Viktor Petrovich.
Hello, how are you?
Not that good.
Did anything happen?
You know, Dima is doing inventory here.
Yes, he told me something .
So...
It's very painful to watch
how he's ruining everything,
that took years to build.
Built with your help.
Do you remember...
how difficult was it?
Yes, I remember.
So could you,
for old time's sake talk to Dima?
Explain to him,
that the restaurant's business
should be run by a competent person.
Well, you understand...
I understood everything, Viktor Petrovich,
I'll talk to Dima.
Thanks a lot, dear.
Thank you very much.
Bye, bye.
You see... and you were scared.
Are you sure that it's a good cognac.
Who cares?
What do you mean "who cares"?
Maybe it's horrible.
Ok, let's check.
Drink it.
Are you nuts?
What if I get poisoned?
Drink it yourself.
I won't drink it.
Listen...
Let's plant it on Louis.
Recently someone has tried to unload
some trashy cognac,
he has tried it and then the whole day
was yelling that he wouldn't use it.
It might work.
- Are you alright?
- No.
I've told you not to eat that fish.
Did you take activated charcoal?
(type of pills for digestion)
Yea, swallowed two packs,
but it didn't help.
Listen when I had service in the navy,
once, by mistake, I swallowed a jellyfish.
If boatswain didn't give me
absolute alcohol on the spot,
I would die.
Do you hear what I say?
You need have a shot of something strong.
Ok, I'll look for something.
God...
If I survive...
I'll stop stealing.
Did they arrive?
Yes... Waiting...
Ok, let's go and find out where we stand.
Guys, perhaps these days
I was pushing it over the edge , right?
Dima, we understand everything.
It's your restaurant,
your heart aches.
It aches, aches,
otherwise I wouldn't poke my nose everywhere.
But I stayed at home, thought it over,
run it with Kris...
Certainly, the restaurant should be run
by someone competent, who lives in it,
understand everything, right?
Well, yes.
And this person...
is among us now.
Dima... well...
I'm always ready and Vika...
It's my wife... Kristina.
In what sense?
Literally.
She is smart and beautiful.
And she graduated something...
in management of restaurants and cafes
And then she has been working here...
- Yea.
- Yea, the whole year, the whole year.
Please, give her a warm welcome,
she is your new boss.
(Inaudible)
You look really bad.
Senya, do you know
what you should do in such cases?
Pepper and...
Senya!
Senya!
Ambulance!
Senya, Senya!
Me and Dimochka
discussed the business of the restaurant,
and I have few ideas
how to make it cost-effective again.
But before I'd like to discuss it
face to face with you, Viktor Petrovich.
If you don't mind, of course.
Do you mind, Viktoria Sergeevna?
Yes, of course.
Excuse me.
So, I'm listening.
Wait a minute.
Kosty, this is the end.
- Just now Senya...
- Shush.
Maksim, Kostya...
give me a bottle of cognac.
Give me XO.
- More to the right.
- This one?
- No. To the right.
- This one?
More to the left, sniper.
- This bottle?
- This bottle.
Just now Senya...
got poisoned with this cognac.
So Viktor Petrovich,
I checked payroll list of our staff,
und understood,
that in order to cut costs
we have to fire people.
What are you talking about?
Well, for example...
Some of our staff
get just indecently high salary.
Well, for example Viktoria Sergeevna
gets 150 thousand per month.
Kitten, did you lose your mind?
We can't fire Vika like this,
she is a very good manager.
But in general, I like your idea.
In general, let's say.
Let me check it out.
We have to take this bottle away, Kostyan.
Come on.
Why are you looking at me?
I can't come near them.
Go on, Kostyan, come on, buddy.
Excuse me,
wish you a very enjoyable evening.
What do you want?
I....
this bottle...
What's with bottle?
I'll take that one, and will leave this one.
You don't have anything to do, do you?
No, but I'll just take that one
and leave this one here.
Get out of here.
Got it.
Arseniy Chuganin...
Fedor Yurchenko...
100 thousand?!
Louis Benoit...
Lev Soloviev... 150 thousand?!
Vitya, it's half a million every month...
Drip, drip, drip...
Let me work for this money here, Vitya.
We need to fire them... fire, fire them.
What's wrong with you?!
They can not be fired.
They are professionals!
Hello. These are professionals
and what about the others?
The others are as well,
but these are the best in Moscow.
Please, I beg you,
what's the difference who will grate carrots?
Cheaper to teach cheap ones,
than pay to expensive ones.
Are you shitting me?
- Vitya, sit down.
- It's my team!
You can not fire them!
Why are you shouting?
Apologies (to guests)...
I told you sit down!
Vitya, sit down, we'll sort it out.
You'll sort it out?
Sort it out! And till then I resign!
Come here. Come here.
Come here I told you. Come here.
He can't differentiate a carrot
from a knife and he'd cook.
Wait, baby, wait.
Wait,
Wait. Why... why are you getting angry?
Big guy, but acting like a small girl.
I told you, if you fire them you'll lose me.
Just... let's sit down and have a drink.
We'll sit...
have a drink and talk.
I have nothing else to tell you.
All right, all right sit down and relax.
Just relax.
I assure you,
that everything is not that bad.
Calm down.
Get out! I'm busy!
Vitya...
You can resign any moment,
it's right.
But what will you do, when it's...
...time to pay your bills?
Where is your older daughter studying?
In Paris?
How much do you pay?
Probably around 20 thousand
per year, right?
Then bills for Alisa ...
Debts...
And on and on...
Go on, resign.
Dima, I'll always find a job.
Thanks God, I also don't eat consomme
with jackboot.
Of course, of course.
But where will you find such an idiot
that will bear your drinking?
They'll kick your ass out
after the first bender.
Where will you go then, Vitya?
- Do whatever you want.
- Of course, come on, let's have a drink.
Here we go,
we saved a bit
on the barman.
You are fired, idiot.
Idiot? Right?
Louis Benoit
Arseniy Chuganin
Fedor Yurchenko
Soloviev
L-l-lev.
Due to unstable position of
our restaurant
unfortunately
we have to let you go.
One wise man said
"Before taking a step forward,
make sure there is no abyss ahead of you."
Hello.
Senyka.
Sorry.
How are you?
Man, imagine, they put
that big ...
... colonic in me, I almost have died.
What?
Why and where are you going so early?
We got fired.
- How is so?
- You got fired as well, by the way.
What?
Wait... and Chef?
And Chef is...
prick!
Given our nature, very often
we walk straight into the abyss,
because we look somewhere upwards,
at the top of our stupid arrogance.
Eighteen, nineteen...
twenty.
Here is your end of service, Kostya.
Twenty thousand.
The rest is at the end of the month.
Man, at least we have a place to live.
We fall, suffer from pain, get up
and keep going and then fall again.
and so it's endless.
Maybe it's time
to start watching where your step.
deep down hope that one day
a prince charming will come
and take them away
from this world of obliging smiles.
As a rule, dreams remain dreams.
But sometimes you can meet some,
for whom the fairytale
about Cinderella became a reality.

It's very painful to watch
how he's ruining everything,
that took years to build.
Built with your help.
Do you remember...
how difficult was it?
Yes, I remember.
So could you,
for old time's sake talk to Dima?
Explain to him,
that the restaurant's business
should be run by a competent person.
Well, you understand...
I understood everything, Viktor Petrovich,
I'll talk to Dima.
Thanks a lot, dear.
Thank you very much.
Bye, bye.
You see... and you were scared.
Are you sure that it's a good cognac.
Who cares?
What do you mean "who cares"?
Maybe it's horrible.
Ok, let's check.
Drink it.
Are you nuts?
What if I get poisoned?
Drink it yourself.
I won't drink it.
Listen...
Let's plant it on Louis.
Recently someone has tried to unload
some trashy cognac,
he has tried it and then the whole day
was yelling that he wouldn't use it.
It might work.
- Are you alright?
- No.
I've told you not to eat that fish.
Did you take activated charcoal?
(type of pills for digestion)
Yea, swallowed two packs,
but it didn't help.
Listen when I had service in the navy,
once, by mistake, I swallowed a jellyfish.
If boatswain didn't give me
absolute alcohol on the spot,
I would die.
Do you hear what I say?
You need have a shot of something strong.
Ok, I'll look for something.
God...
If I survive...
I'll stop stealing.
Did they arrive?
Yes... Waiting...
Ok, let's go and find out where we stand.
Guys, perhaps these days
I was pushing it over the edge , right?
Dima, we understand everything.
It's your restaurant,
your heart aches.
It aches, aches,
otherwise I wouldn't poke my nose everywhere.
But I stayed at home, thought it over,
run it with Kris...
Certainly, the restaurant should be run
by someone competent, who lives in it,
understand everything, right?
Well, yes.
And this person...
is among us now.
Dima... well...
I'm always ready and Vika...
It's my wife... Kristina.
In what sense?
Literally.
She is smart and beautiful.
And she graduated something...
in management of restaurants and cafes
And then she has been working here...
- Yea.
- Yea, the whole year, the whole year.
Please, give her a warm welcome,
she is your new boss.
(Inaudible)
You look really bad.
Senya, do you know
what you should do in such cases?
Pepper and...
Senya!
Senya!
Ambulance!
Senya, Senya!
Me and Dimochka
discussed the business of the restaurant,
and I have few ideas
how to make it cost-effective again.
But before I'd like to discuss it
face to face with you, Viktor Petrovich.
If you don't mind, of course.
Do you mind, Viktoria Sergeevna?
Yes, of course.
Excuse me.
So, I'm listening.
Wait a minute.
Kosty, this is the end.
- Just now Senya...
- Shush.
Maksim, Kostya...
give me a bottle of cognac.
Give me XO.
- More to the right.
- This one?
- No. To the right.
- This one?
More to the left, sniper.
- This bottle?
- This bottle.
Just now Senya...
got poisoned with this cognac.
So Viktor Petrovich,
I checked payroll list of our staff,
und understood,
that in order to cut costs
we have to fire people.
What are you talking about?
Well, for example...
Some of our staff
get just indecently high salary.
Well, for example Viktoria Sergeevna
gets 150 thousand per month.
Kitten, did you lose your mind?
We can't fire Vika like this,
she is a very good manager.
But in general, I like your idea.
In general, let's say.
Let me check it out.
We have to take this bottle away, Kostyan.
Come on.
Why are you looking at me?
I can't come near them.
Go on, Kostyan, come on, buddy.
Excuse me,
wish you a very enjoyable evening.
What do you want?
I....
this bottle...
What's with bottle?
I'll take that one, and will leave this one.
You don't have anything to do, do you?
No, but I'll just take that one
and leave this one here.
Get out of here.
Got it.
Arseniy Chuganin...
Fedor Yurchenko...
100 thousand?!
Louis Benoit...
Lev Soloviev... 150 thousand?!
Vitya, it's half a million every month...
Drip, drip, drip...
Let me work for this money here, Vitya.
We need to fire them... fire, fire them.
What's wrong with you?!
They can not be fired.
They are professionals!
Hello. These are professionals
and what about the others?
The others are as well,
but these are the best in Moscow.
Please, I beg you,
what's the difference who will grate carrots?
Cheaper to teach cheap ones,
than pay to expensive ones.
Are you shitting me?
- Vitya, sit down.
- It's my team!
You can not fire them!
Why are you shouting?
Apologies (to guests)...
I told you sit down!
Vitya, sit down, we'll sort it out.
You'll sort it out?
Sort it out! And till then I resign!
Come here. Come here.
Come here I told you. Come here.
He can't differentiate a carrot
from a knife and he'd cook.
Wait, baby, wait.
Wait,
Wait. Why... why are you getting angry?
Big guy, but acting like a small girl.
I told you, if you fire them you'll lose me.
Just... let's sit down and have a drink.
We'll sit...
have a drink and talk.
I have nothing else to tell you.
All right, all right sit down and relax.
Just relax.
I assure you,
that everything is not that bad.
Calm down.
Get out! I'm busy!
Vitya...
You can resign any moment,
it's right.
But what will you do, when it's...
...time to pay your bills?
Where is your older daughter studying?
In Paris?
How much do you pay?
Probably around 20 thousand
per year, right?
Then bills for Alisa ...
Debts...
And on and on...
Go on, resign.
Dima, I'll always find a job.
Thanks God, I also don't eat consomme
with jackboot.
Of course, of course.
But where will you find such an idiot
that will bear your drinking?
They'll kick your ass out
after the first bender.
Where will you go then, Vitya?
- Do whatever you want.
- Of course, come on, let's have a drink.
Here we go,
we saved a bit
on the barman.
You are fired, idiot.
Idiot? Right?
Louis Benoit
Arseniy Chuganin
Fedor Yurchenko
Soloviev
L-l-lev.
Due to unstable position of
our restaurant
unfortunately
we have to let you go.
One wise man said
"Before taking a step forward,
make sure there is no abyss ahead of you."
Hello.
Senyka.
Sorry.
How are you?
Man, imagine, they put
that big ...
... colonic in me, I almost have died.
What?
Why and where are you going so early?
We got fired.
- How is so?
- You got fired as well, by the way.
What?
Wait... and Chef?
And Chef is...
prick!
Given our nature, very often
we walk straight into the abyss,
because we look somewhere upwards,
at the top of our stupid arrogance.
Eighteen, nineteen...
twenty.
Here is your end of service, Kostya.
Twenty thousand.
The rest is at the end of the month.
Man, at least we have a place to live.
We fall, suffer from pain, get up
and keep going and then fall again.
and so it's endless.
Maybe it's time
to start watching where your step.
