Servant S-1 E-20: Funniest E in many E's

As Oksana is driving Mukhin to "holy shit-dom" (lol) the Swine is continuing her oligarchical seduction of Vasya. 




Vasya leaves the "natural resources briefing" to go into a cabinet meeting...wherein he receives the inevitable sexts.



They get stuck in an elevator together (because she pushed the stop button) and she claims to be claustrophobic and has difficulty breathing and asks him to undo her blouse to give her more air.

 


                                                              

                                                                          "Fan me."



Next, Ana shows up at Vasya's office at 11 pm with a bottle of wine. The screenwriters do something they have not done before: they have the character make direct eye contact with the audience. "YOU know what I'M doing." We're in on the secret. It is playful, delightful.

                                                         OH MY GOD! That is SOOO great!

BUT. Vasya is NOT ALONE! All the cabinet officers are in his office and THEY are not in on her secret.

 

                               Now, look at Olya's face. First, surprise, perplexity, of course.

BUT WOMEN ALWAYS KNOW! It takes Olya TEN seconds to size up Ana for what she is up to! lolol

 

"Yes, your 'adviser'...

One second later:

             "Girl, you may fool my ex-, HE'S just a dead head GUY, but I'M a female JUST like you and YOU CAN'T FOOL ANOTHER WOMAN, HONEY? Nah-ah! Didn't they teach you that in Compromise School?"

    "We could fill state coffers" with the exports of Carpathian wine! Look at that face! lolol.

 

                                         Anna leaves and Olya drills holes in her with her eyes.

                                     And then turns to mark Vasya.



Such great acting. Perfect. Such great camera work. Perfect. S-1 E-20: PERFECT! Audience, what do you say?!
