• Yuri: There. We normally would buy more than this amount of flour,
  but Ivan Ivanovich has raised the payment again.
• Nosh: So what is it that you buy from this Ivan-Guyovich that costs so much?
• Nosh: Scowls and frowns?
• Yuri: Our son owed many people money from gambling, and Ivanovich is the last of them.
• Nosh: But I thought you were not havin children.
• Yuri: Sergei was a promising young poet, but like his parents, he sadly had no talent for numbers.
  To pay off his debts, Sergei joined the armada, but his transport crashed while taking off.
• Nosh: Ah. That is a sadness.
• Yuri: If we don't pay Ivan Ianovich, he will take the shop.
  But it's hard to stay open when he asks so much.
  It's as pushkin says:
  "I've lived to bury my desires,
  And see my dreams corrode with rust;
  Now all that's left are fruitless fires
  That burn my empty heart to dust."
• Nosh: This sad man Pushkin is friend of yours?
• Yuri: Pushkin was a son of Russia, Earth's greatest poet! He had within him a heart of infinite sorrow and a soul of cosmic joy.
  He was more than a man -
  he was the conscience of humanity itself!
• Yuri: ... "Pushkin" is also the name of my wife's canary.
• Nosh: Ah! I am big fan of his work.
