Troshkin; Dotsent : You're in for a surprise. He will envy you!
Fedya Yermakov : Envy me?
Troshkin; Dotsent : Sure! Who is he? Just a regular engineer. How does he live anyway? Goes to work mornings, comes home at night... To his wife and sniveling brats. So now and then he goes to a show, in the summer to Yalta on vacation. Intolerable boredom! And who are you? A gentleman of fortune, outlaw, robber, you really live. You steal, drink, crash into jail. It's much more romantic! So cheer up! Of course, the guy envies you!

Just a second...
Fedya Yermakov : Where's he going?
Khmyr : The devil only knows... You can never tell with him.

Fedya Yermakov : Afraid to catch cold? A guy who's hanged himself!
