- Yulia: I haven't heard a thank you.
- Alex: Thank you.
- Yulia: What's with the voice?
- Alex: What do you mean?
- Yulia: Exactly this.
- Alex: Thank you, Mommy, for this fucking marvelous breakfast.
- Yulia: Just listen to yourself. If you're so independent, maybe you'll clean up after yourself?
- [Alex brings his dishes to the sink]
- Yulia: And now wash it.
- Alex: [smirking] I won't.
- The Sniffer: Here you go.
- Alex: Thanks.
- The Sniffer: So it's only for the money that you came to me.
- Alex: Why else should I?
- The Sniffer: To talk to your father, for example.
- Alex: Okay, let's talk. You may ask how I am doing at school or how my mother is doing. The answers are: okay and okay. Have we talked? Will it be enough for a week? What's up with you? Are you offended? Then you shouldn't have given birth to me. You didn't want it anyway. I know.
- The Sniffer: Alex. You don't know anything. It wasn't like that at all.
- Alex: Oh, really?
- General: There was once a shy man who got a pimple on his ass. Well, he was too shy to tell anyone about it - it was a pimple, you know - so he started self-treatment. In a week, the pimple became huge. The poor guy couldn't even sit down, let alone walk, so he finally decided to go to the doctor. He hardly managed to pull up his pants and get to the door... and died. Why did he die? What do you think? It's because he didn't share information in time.
- The Sniffer: What did you want to talk about?
- Yulia: About your son. He's completely out of hand. He's rude and cheeky. Well, I know perfectly well it's because of his genes, but I'd still like to straighten him up.
- The Sniffer: It comes with age.
- Yulia: How easily you find an explanation to everything instead of simply solving the problem. But why am I surprised? I need only one thing from you: to stop giving Alex money without my permission.
- [the Sniffer takes a whiff and senses that Yulia recently had sex]
- Yulia: Do you even hear me?
- The Sniffer: I hear you, and now you listen to me: He is my son and it is up to me to decide when I give money to him and how much that would be. Besides, if you want to nag somebody, start with the one you're sleeping with.
