What is more, if we are to believe Chegem rumors, the old man rose to the occasion, because, even as a man with broken ribs, at least he succeeded in begetting two more children, if, as the Chegemians hypothesized, he had succeeded in begetting the first child before his ribs got cracked (4a).

"Your conversations were recorded when you called the [American] embassy. Our technology is first-rate and has allowed us to expose your criminal plans..." (1a).
         ♦ [Нина:] Отец у тебя отличный, Алька. Судьба ему определилась невесёлая... Не спорь с ним сегодня. Ни слова... [Альберт (помотал головой):] Я и не собирался ехать, а он подумал... [Нина:] Ладно, ладно, Жук, мы должны быть на высоте (Розов 4). [N.:] You have a splendid father, Al. It's just that life hasn't treated him too well....Don't argue with him today. Not one word... [A.
