- Have you seen Stalin? - I have.

- What did he say? - Ask me what I said to him.

What did you say to him?

I said: Some of our women...

don't want to be women any more.

They want to become men.

They are strange.

Stalin said: "If they want to - let them".

It'll be a national sensation - newspapers radio...

The triumph of Soviet science! The great beginning!

Lt'll be fantastic Ambrosy!

Our Motherland needs soldiers - and here they are!

Why don't you have a drink?

No thanks.

Let's drink.

It's difficult to change a person's sex Alexei.

There is no precedent forthis.

That's why Stalin is interested.

- It's not going to be easy. - Yes I know.

This would be easier if she were free.

I know how you feel:

You're here and your wife is there.

She'll get everything she needs.

And afterthe operation

we'll relase her.

Do you believe me?

We are friends aren't we?

We've made it.

- Is my reading lamp working? - Sure.

It's in the cupboard.

- Is my reading lamp working? - Sure.

Good evening Alexei.

You'll have to wait.

What good would it do...

if roosters laid eggs and hens crowed?

Personally I think no good will come of it.

But some so-called scientists disagree.

They plan to turn a woman into a man.

Why?

To confuse things and make it difficult to tell...

who is the Soviet woman

and who is the Soviet man.

Luckily our competent agencies identifiied...

this criminal gang and rendered it harmless.

Let our enemies know they will be caught too...

if they ever endanger the Soviet people's...

clear-cut socialistic principals.

Have it typed and fiiled.

- I need to talk to you. - I am busy now.
