I heard the bell, don’t you know where it was?
Not October 28, but February 29; not a guy, but a woman; not to meet, but to marry; not in Russia, but in the UK.

Is it true that Rabinovich won the Volga in the lottery?
Everything is right. Not Ivanov, but Ivanov. And not a Volga, but a hundred rubles. Not in the lottery, but in the cards. He did not win, but lost.
