У нас во время конкурсов пол охраняется вышибалами, – говорит Вадик и импровизирует псевдодиалог.
– Куда ты идёшь?
– Хочу потанцевать.
– Нельзя. Я работаю на секьюрити, 10 лет просидел в тюрьме, 5 долларов и ты на паркете с любым заходом.
В машине я, Вадик, Наташа и Надя. Я везу всех к Наташе домой. Наташа недоверчиво критикует мою манеру вождения, противопоставляя мне уверенного в дороге Юру. Вадик так это пародирует. Cначала: «шш…», типа как шум рации.
– Yura, we are already 50 blocks away, but Boris is still not turning. Yura, we turned to 16th, but I do not think we are going to make it home tonight. Please save us. You are the only Communist I know of. We cannot trust these democrats.
Там же в машине. Мы поравнялись с джипом. В нем пара лет сорока. Бородатый мужчина с выпученными глазами выглядит немного озабоченным. Вадик наделяет его голосом:
– Martha, do not look at them! Just pretend you do not see them!
Passages on searching sponsorship in Toronto with Nadiya.
– Where is your coach?
– Right now, he is using an opportunity of making $60 an hour.
Dancing boss. We anticipated first real chance.
– We are dancers, and we know that you too… We are looking for sponsorship…
– How did you get into the building?
Bank president secretary. Leave before security throws you away.
We enter every door in a high-rise. How did you find us? Oh! We searched on the web, in Yellow Pages…
Delegation from Holland. So much garbage here. This room is bad. We are not from Holland, but we have been there.
We walk into the Hershey Corporation of chocolates knowing we are not going to get any sponsorship, but feeling hungry and in hope to try some chocolates. We do not tell it to each other but know it in our minds and recognize each other’s look. As we go in there, many important people go around waiting for the meeting. We see the receptionist and Vadim starts telling her the speech we learned by heart forever and used for thousands of times in other companies. «We are Canadian Champions… looking for sponsorship». While he is speaking, he looks at the dish of chocolates on the left side not concentrating on the receptionist. In the middle of the speech, he totally starts telling the speech to the chocolates as if they were to sponsor him. The receptionist interrupts him: «You can help yourself».
