Бриллиантовая рука (комедия, реж. Леонид Гайдай, 1968 г.)

I have to leave right now for Dubrovka. Good! But not now. Tomorrow we will send you a taxi. Will eight o'clock be okay? But why not today? Today we will need your help. We want you to meet your friend. The one you went on a fishing trip with. The man who invited you to dinner. Ah, Gennady Petrovich... You will see him and casually tell him that tomorrow at eight you plan to go to Dubrovka. And, most importantly, you will tell him, also casually, that the day after tomorrow the cast will be removed from your arm. - Is it Gesha? - Yes.

So why don't we...? We didn't want to scare away a more important fish. ANNOUNCING THE TRIAL OF COMRADES OF THE LIBERATOR AND DRUNK S.S. GORBUNKOV - You sing beautifully! - Oh, come on... Have you known Citizen Gorbunkov for a long time? Yes, ten years, I'm sorry to say. So for ten years he drank, indulged, and led an immoral life? For ten years he has very cleverly disguised himself as a decent person. I didn't trust him though. Don't you think we should always trust people? I don't think you can trust a man except in the most extreme cases. - Is that really your opinion? - Yeah.

Listen... who are you anyway? I work with him. Let's say he is a colleague. I see. Drinking companion. Get out of here! As you say among yourselves, back to your cage! Very good, but just one question. Did you use good glue to stick it? Don't worry, lush, you can't tear it off! Now take it off please. Boss, we're done. They're going to remove the cast, the client leaves... I'll kill him!.. Where are you going so early in the morning? See my family in Dubrovka. Did you call a taxi to go to Dubrovka? Yes, I do. Enters. - Bye bye. - Have a good trip.

Why didn't Mikhail Ivanovich come? And Volodya? They are busy? - What is your rank? - What rank? Are you like Volodya, a police lieutenant? A lieutenant... First lieutenant... Can I, to impress my wife, call him that? Comrade first lieutenant? - Is it okay if I do? - Yes, sure. And please be sure to tell him that you put me on a special mission that night at the hotel. And so she doesn't worry, keep quiet about smugglers, diamonds and gold. To silence? It can not be done. I have to consult with the boss... with those above me. - With Mikhail Ivanovich? - Yes, with Mikhail Ivanovich.

Give him my best regards. Hello? Boss? It's me... Boss, this is me, Lyolik! He left for Dubrovka twenty minutes ago. In a taxi. It was a beige ''Volga''. The number was 28-70 OGO. Roger. I have it. Gesha is nineteen kilometers away. To hell with him anyway. Roger. We are going for a new operational plan, maintaining a low profile. Mikhail Ivanovich sends you his regards. Everything will be fine and even better. Your old lady will get you fit as a fiddle, without a cast. Mikhail Ivanovich ordered the plaster to be removed today. - Have you caught him? - You bet you do. - And who is it? - Some idiot.

Why go back to your house? There's no point in wasting time. We have a place by the road where we can take off the cast. To quote our dear boss... Mikhail Ivanovich, you have to strike iron when you are close to the loot. We will tear it to pieces and take out every stone and coin it contains. Could you take an inventory and make a list of everything? Of course, we are going to do everything legally, with receipts and everything. We'll even take your fingerprints. Our operation will take a maximum of fifteen minutes. Soften the cast while I pick everything up.

A lot of work. Wow, you have everything you need, right? We have to flee. The boss just gave me the order to find another platform. So we're leaving here. Your mustache... one side has fallen off. Thank you. Hands up! Helicopter Seven, what do you see on the way? Are you going to report? All I see is a milk truck heading towards the city. There are no signs of any taxis. I keep observing. End of the first part MOSFILM THE DIAMOND ARM A cinematographic novel in two parts about the life of smugglers, with a prologue and epilogue.

Synopsis of the first part. Part Two THE BONE LEG No beige taxi ever entered Dubrovka. Could you inspect Quadrangle 45? Arrest! Arrest! Wait! - Could you take me to town please? - What's happening? It's a top secret state matter! - Very good, go up. - You have to hurry! I'm learning to drive, can't you see? We're short on time! Time is money. When you see money, don't waste your time. We must strike the iron when we are close to the loot. Hands up! You two! Or this will explode! They did everything for nothing. There are no diamonds there.

There are none? Who ever told you they were in the cast? That man with the fake mustache thought the same thing. The police took them away a long time ago, boss. Hey, wait! Stop, idiots! To quote an old friend of mine who is now buried: "I knew too much." Seven calls Five and reports that a cherry-colored "Moskvitch" has been seen on the logging road speeding towards the national border. Seven, listen to my orders! Mother! Lyolik, stop it! Don't worry, Kozlodoyev, there will be room for everyone in the can!
