Overview
Anatoly Novoseltsev is a mousy single father and office stumblebum working at a statistics bureau in Moscow. In the hopes of being promoted, he is coaxed into charming his disagreeable and seemingly unfeeling boss, Ludmila Kalugina, or "Meany" as she's otherwise known by her subordinates. Helped by his colleagues Olya and Yura, Anatoly attempts to ease the yoke of Ms. Kalugina, and what follows in the wake of his graceless manoeuvres is completely unforeseen, as he awakens a side to her not yet known, even to herself..

00:08:24 People, stay here, who has not paid!
00:14:43 [Novoseltsev is waiting.]
00:19:14 I never borrow from my superiors.
00:24:45 It's a small apartment!
00:30:51 What's that!?
00:37:37 Why are we sitting here silent, as if we have nothing to talk about?
00:44:14 Our breaths are jumbled together.
00:51:18 Don't hang me... Why?
00:57:36 You're lying again, comrade Novoseltsev.
01:07:35 By the way, I have just seen the minister. He praised me.
01:15:23 Meaning... matching things.
01:20:40 What's that you've been doing here?
01:25:20 Please don't. Let it stay as it is. I don't want this position.
01:35:16 I mean, from Bublikov's wreath...
01:42:35 Go roving all over the world...
01:48:46 I have to disappoint you.
01:57:06 I shouldn't've put it on.
02:02:22 Here's Borzhomi and lemonade.
02:08:39 - Yes. - What?
02:17:33 Sure. I'm no God's gift, either.
02:25:05 ...about appointing you the Head of Department.
02:31:32 I haven't called you!
02:50:04 Thank you. Keep the change.
