ANATOLY KTOROV

I contend...

that from a scientific point of view...

the most important thing in the profession of a thief,

as in the profession of a saint, of course is...

to slip away right on time.

Just between us, of course!

IGOR ILYINSKY

By the way...

Birds of the air neither sow nor reap.

But the Heavenly Father feeds them.

Tested!

MARIYA STRELKOVA

Ah, gentlemen!

The true vocation of women is, naturally...

Love!

The love for the bridegroom.

For the Heavenly Bridegroom!

Honored Art Worker IGOR ARKADIN.

My beloved brethren!

Do not store up for yourselves treasures here, on earth!

But store up for yourselves imperishable treasures,

there, in heaven!

People's Artist of the Republic MIKHAIL KLIMOV.

May the blessing of St. Jorgen be with you!

Truly great is the grace of the Lord...

who elected our city as a place of life,

death and the resurrection of St. Jorgen.

PROLOGUE

THE MAJOR CUSTOMERS

VICAR OF THE CHURCH OF ST. JORGEN, RIGHT HAND OF GOD

TREASURER OF THE CHURCH, THE HUMBLE KEEPER OF THE CHURCHLY KOPECK

ASSIDUOUS PERFORMERS

This is an outrage. Five times I'm forced to fly, for a pittance.

Let's see the footage.

THE LIFE AND MIRACLES OF ST. JORGEN In Six Parts.

Yesterday we issued an order from the petroleum trust, today, an order from the church.

500 YEARS AGO

ST. JORGEN WAS A SHEPHERD

THE BRIDE OF JORGEN

TOWN NOBLES DECIDED TO DESTROY JORGEN

WHO PROTECTED THE POOR AND OPPRESSED

ENEMIES ATTACKED HIM ON HIS WEDDING NIGHT

INTERLUDE

Less psychology, Mr. Director, and more miracles!

Truly, truly, I say to you, it is time...

to catch not fish but the souls of men...

Cut it immediately!

Man walks on the sea as on dry land and you film a vacationers' boat ride.

The day will come and I will return to earth.

Wait patiently and uncomplainingly.

Throw in a couple of miraculous healings and finish.

The picture should be ready for the holiday.

END OF PROLOGUE

ANNUAL HOLIDAY OF ST. JORGEN STARTS WITH USUAL PREACHING IN THE TEMPLE

An annual feast of our temple is approaching.

Today, my beloved children...

We ought to remember again that ineffable wonder...

witnessed three years ago by our Father-Treasurer, who is present here...

well-known for his unselfishness.

And I...

humble servant of God.

In that year...

Myriad worshipers flocked from all sides to Jorgenstadt...

To venerate the miraculous cloak and the crown of thorns of St. Jorgen.

Do not forget that God's flock of sheep is in need of supervision.

Truly it is said in the Gospel of St. Jorgen...

"Inscrutable are the ways of God,

and no one knows, when the Lord will call him."

Go to St. Jorgen's! They will not find us in the crowd!

How richly these people live! I suppose they wash their hands every day.

TO POLICE STATIONS OF ALL RAILWAYS HUBS

Today will be elected the bride of St. Jorgen for the current year.

According to custom, the bride's parents will receive 100,000 from the Temple.

FEMALE CANDIDATES FOR THE BRIDE OF ST. JORGEN

OLEANDRA - daughter of the Vicar VAN-GUTEN - Minister of Defence.

Take steps to check the trains. The international criminal has escaped.

The reward for the capture of Mikael Korkis and his accomplice Francis Shults - 10,000.

PEOPLE EASILY ACQUAINTED ALONG THE ROAD

If they will continue to offer him such brides it's unlikely he will ever return to Earth.

They caught the famous Korkis and some tramp with him!

THEY GUARDED THE VALUABLE BOOTY ALL NIGHT LONG

Do not be afraid! We will break through.

It turns out that miracles are possible in our time.

At this hour the breath of Spirit of the Lord is invisibly sweeping over Jorgenstadt...

And over countless crowds of worshipers.

as well as the miraculous spring and cloak, tears and hair of St. Jorgen.

As usual, like three years ago...

The holiday of St. Jorgen began with solemnity - the election of his bride.

I vividly remember

how we, humble servants of the Lord, gathered in the sacristy...

to prepare for the rite of the election of the bride.

We talked piously and made concessions to each other in all matters.

And our hearts were open to God.

This is daylight robbery! It was my niece's turn.

Why your daughter? It's time for others to take advantage of the dowry!

ANEL, ERIKA, OLEANDRA

Brothers and children! Now St. Jorgen elects a worthy of the worthy.

I prayed to St. Jorgen,

who elected my daughter, the immaculate Oleandra...

as his heavenly bride.

OLEANDRA, OLEANDRA, OLEANDRA I remember how the Father-Treasurer, known for his selflessness...

gently whispered to me...

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND IN GOLD gently whispered to me...

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND IN GOLD

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND IN GOLD "God rewards those who are most worthy!"

"God rewards those who are most worthy!"

Better not to play cards with you as you can undress anyone.

Crowd scenes involving up to 10,000 people.

BELIEVERS, SAVE YOUR SOULS!

THE KEY!

OLD FRIENDS CONGRATULATED THE CHOSEN OF HEAVEN...

I know so many countries.

And the waves of all the seas.

But there's nowhere such beautiful gardens!

And the blue waves...

And the stars shine brighter.

NEW FRIENDS ALSO DIDN'T FORGET HER And the stars shine brighter.

And the fragrances of flowers become stronger.

Announce. I'm instructed to convey this in person.

It's like singing:

"Oh, beautiful Jorgenstadt!"

"Beautiful, beautiful!"

"Oh, beautiful Jorgenstadt!"

"Beautiful, beautiful!"

Oh, my beautiful city

I dream about you.

I breathe freely by your fragrance.

And in the silence of the night...

In the darkness of the night I hear...

What the wind whispers and hums...

And a choir sings to me.

Sings and repeats...

"Oh, beautiful Jorgenstadt!"

"Do not forget those who walk by unjust means..."

The Gospel of St. Jorgen, chapter 4, page 19.
