08:20thank you. thank you.
08:22well
08:32well Kostya?
08:36don't you think I'm a clever girl?
08:39oh
08:41oh
08:49all these months not one word.
08:51I was persuaded against my will to write and what happened?
08:55nothing.
08:57yes
08:59it's an intolerable situation.
09:01it's not that I mind so much about the divorce. but surely you still...
09:05it matters a great deal to Alexei.
09:07he's restless.
09:09out of sorts.
09:11why don't you go to the country?
09:13Dolly said you were both so busy and contented there.
09:17well we mean to go
09:19but somehow we find it hard to make decisions.
09:21and then Alexei's mother
09:23there's always some little thing or other that she wants him to do for her.
09:27hmm
09:29more tea?
09:31no more no thank you.
09:35the countess lives out of Moscow doesn't she?
09:39yes at Obiranovka.
09:41do you see her?
09:43oh you know better than that.
09:45so nothing changes
09:47sometimes I think it never will
09:49but it occurred to me that as you're going to Petersburg anyway...
09:53you want me to see your husband?
09:55would you?
09:57yes
09:59yes of course
10:01tell him he must make up his mind
10:03tell him I don't care what he decides
10:05but we must have a definite answer
10:07oh I hope I'll do better than that
10:11now I must go
10:13is there anyone else you'd like me to see in Petersburg?
10:17princess Betsy. oh if you see her
10:19oh but I forgot
10:21she finds you attractive.
10:23I know.
10:25and I can't help flirting with her and making improper suggestions.
10:27which she adores.
10:29indeed she does.
10:31it's always rather embarrassing because in fact I can't stand the woman.
10:41there is someone else I would like you to see.
10:43yes
10:45Serioja
10:47see him if you can
10:49find out if he's well if he's happy
10:51I want to know all about him.
10:53that's a tall order.
10:54yes
10:55I want to know how much he has grown
10:57whether his teeth have straightened out
10:59there was one at the front on on the left side
11:04and whether he's getting enough fresh air
11:06exercise
11:07yes
11:08he needs that
11:09especially the riding because he loves it so much
11:13and whether he's got anyone to play with
11:16make silly jokes about monsters and dreaded ogres
11:22of course he hasn't
11:26Steve I...
11:27I want to know if he remembers me
11:32is my father at home?
11:33he is
11:34good
11:35could you tell him please I should like...
11:37he's engaged
11:38I have my school report
11:40he always likes me to...
11:42who's with him?
11:44your uncle
11:46prince oblonski
11:47who?
11:48oh my uncle yes
11:53my uncle stephan
11:55of course
11:56will I dare say I can wait for once?
12:12but my main object incoming
12:18well I want to talk about Anna
12:20oh
12:23oh
12:26what is it you wish to say?
12:28if you had seen her all this winter
12:31her position is impossible
12:33literally awful
12:35I was under the impression that your sister had everything she desired
12:39now you know what she's waiting and hoping for
12:41I understood she declined to divorce if I insisted on keeping the boy
12:44and I do so insist
12:46the matter is closed
12:47then I beg you to reconsider
12:48reconsider
12:49it closed
12:50she herself asks for nothing
12:52but I her brother
12:54and her friends
12:55all those who love her beg and implore you
12:58what is the point of making her suffer?
12:59who gains by it?
13:01you're putting me in the position of a defendant
13:04no not in the least
13:05all I am saying is that her position is unbearable
13:07and only you can alleviate it
13:10and what can you lose by doing so?
13:13I shall arrange everything so you won't even notice
13:17now remember
13:18you did promise
13:23yes
13:24I promised
13:25well then
13:28but
13:29perhaps I did not have the right
13:32to give that promise
13:33but you can't refuse
13:36that would be inhuman
13:38well as to that I
13:40you profess yourself a free thinker
13:43I as a believer cannot go against the teachings of Christianity
13:46but in Christian societies divorce is allowed in Russia
13:48it's sanctioned even by the church
13:50maybe
13:51not in a case like this
13:53let's say
13:54I can't help remembering how you forgave everything
13:56you forgave Anna
13:57forgave even Vronsky
13:59surely this was the true Christian spirit guiding you
14:02guiding you
14:03you set yourself there
14:05you said
14:06if a man will take thy coat
14:07let him have thy cloak also
14:09no more
14:10I insist
14:15I insist
14:16that you drop this subject
14:18I'm sorry I had no wish to distress you
14:26I must
14:28think it over
14:29I must seek guidance
14:34the day after tomorrow I shall give you my final answer
14:39well that's all I wanted to hear but I hope it'll be good news
14:42my coat petroff
14:53my coat petroff

15:27I am pretty strong
15:29as strong as Berensky of course

15:33will you call him Sam
15:34Sam
15:35short for Samson

16:10we open the doors first you see
16:11I should hope so
16:12good sport
16:13yes
16:14you have to watch out when the train stops all of a sudden
16:17and when someone falls down
16:19but that's no joke
16:20I've been the guard three times
16:22oh you're a warrior
16:25thank you I'll carry them
16:28yes you're a warrior
16:30oh I wish your mother could

16:34no
16:35no I don't
16:36why should I
16:37leave me alone
16:49goodbye sir Asia
17:03and then I thought
17:04why go on waiting here for a decision
17:07won't it do just as well in the country
17:10I can't wait any longer
17:12and why should we
17:14don't you agree
17:15I do indeed
17:16what did you do at your dinner party
17:21who was there
17:22oh usual crowd
17:23Yashvin
17:24Garvin
17:25Milovsky
17:26few men I didn't know provincials I think
17:28no women
17:30yes there was one
17:31one
17:32a dancer
17:33no not quite
17:35nobody's in Moscow not content with an excellent dinner and good company
17:38they always have to introduce something ridiculous
17:41well
17:49the Queen of Sweden's pet gymnast
17:51well lady gymnast
17:53yes of a sort
17:54hideous tough old bird she was too
18:02well when are we off
18:04and that's too absurd what did she do
18:07and gave a display of her art if you can call it that
18:11exercises
18:12most energetic
18:13disgusting
18:16well not really
18:17rather tedious actually
18:20when were you thinking of going
18:22the sooner the better
18:24not tomorrow I'm afraid but I could be ready the day after
18:26good
18:28oh wait a minute that's Monday
18:30I have to see my mother I'm sorry
18:32oh
18:33oh

18:50Sunday no the business is to do with the power of attorney and the money won't be ready
18:53oh then we won't go at all
18:55why ever not
18:56I shan't go any later it's Monday or it's not at all
18:58why ever not
18:59because you don't speak the truth
19:01but you're always boasting of your honesty
19:05I never boast
19:07and I don't tell lies
19:08and it's a great pity if you can't respect them
19:10respect was invented to cover up indifference
19:13if you don't love me anymore say so
19:16tell me to my face
19:18that at least will be honest
19:19this is beyond endurance
19:21whatever I do whatever I say you make an excuse for a quarrel
19:24look I have a great deal of patience but by God Anna it has its limits
19:27what do you mean by that
19:28what do you mean by that
19:29you seem determined to tear us both to pieces
19:31and I cannot stand it any longer
19:33I will not tolerate suspicion
19:35and abuse without any reason
19:37now you just tell me plainly
19:39and without any hysterics
19:41what is it you want
19:42that you shouldn't desert me as you were thinking of doing
19:45I can see it
19:46I can see it in your eyes
19:49hatred the desire to be rid of me
19:51you ask what I want
19:53I want nothing but your love
19:55and that is gone so everything is over
19:57it's finished
20:21look madam you've thrown this out but I think it should be kept
20:23do whatever you like
20:24look madam you've thrown this out but I think it should be kept
20:38do whatever you like
20:57Annushka
20:58yes madam
20:59if Count Vronsky wishes to see me this evening would you ask him not to come in
21:02I have a bad headache
21:08yes
21:09it's over
21:11must end it
21:12how?
21:13where am I to go?
21:16seriously if I could
21:19no no no no
21:21it's impossible
21:26for you
21:28for you I nearly died
21:30I should have died then
21:31I wanted to
21:33I prayed to die
21:37Alexei
21:39oh Alexei would have been sorry
21:40he would have mourned for me
21:42perhaps forever
21:45but now
21:46now would he mourn?
21:48would he pity me?
21:49would he suffer if I
21:50never
21:56is that the solution?
22:04and what then?
22:11wicked man
22:13wicked
22:14you don't improve
22:15that's Petersburg
22:17any time I'm in danger of improving
22:20I catch the afternoon train
22:23now
22:24Steve
22:26so it's you
22:28princess yourself
22:30hmm
22:35tell me
22:37what news of your poor sister
22:39you didn't look at me like that
22:40I thought she did a very fine thing
22:43come Steve
22:44tell me about her
22:46well
22:48her position's very difficult
22:51she did what everyone else does
22:54except me
22:55only they hide it
22:56when they can
22:57she did even better by throwing over that half-witted Karenin
23:00oh excuse me
23:01but I always maintain the man's a fool
23:03everyone would insist that he's clever
23:05not I
23:06well I saw him yesterday and he seemed to me to be greatly changed
23:08for the worse if that's possible
23:10it's religion you see in Lydia Ivanovna
23:12yes I'm a little puzzled
23:15I saw him to get a definite decision about the divorce
23:19he said he'd think it over
23:20but now instead of an answer
23:23I receive an invitation for this evening from
23:26Countess Lydia
23:28exactly what you would expect
23:29they're going to consult Lando
23:31Lando? who's Lando?
23:33well a mystic if that's the word
23:35Lando let me tell you used to be a shop assistant in Paris
23:38one day he went to see his doctor
23:40and fell asleep
23:41and fell asleep in the waiting room
23:42in his sleep he began giving advice to the other patients
23:45and they took it the fools
23:46they took him for a saint
23:47a what?
23:48a saint
23:49Countess Beezubov was one of them
23:50she took him up brought him to Russia
23:52now he's making his fortune
23:54treating them one and all
23:55oh they do say he's handsome
23:57yes well that's as maybe
23:59but naturally Lydia has to be smitten with this Lando
24:02he's a religious mystical healer you see
24:04and now neither she nor Karenin
24:06can take any decisions without consulting him
24:10good god
24:11so
24:12your poor sister's fate is now in the hands of a French shop assistant
24:28so lucky for you to be able to meet him
24:33who knows whether another opportunity will arise
24:37I am honored Countess
24:38we all are
24:39especially those privileged to call him friend
24:43so gifted a person is rare indeed
24:47I introduced you to him as Monsieur Lando
24:50he is Count Beezubov
24:53I beg your pardon?
24:54he completely cured the Countess Beezubov
24:57so she adopted him
24:58she did what?
25:00as her son
25:01only he doesn't care to use the title
25:03worldly honors
25:05titles and such
25:06they mean nothing to him
25:07nothing at all
25:10the Countess Beezubov was here today poor thing
25:12his departure is a terrible blow to her
25:15is he really going?
25:16yes back to Paris
25:18he heard a voice yesterday
25:20a voice?
25:21oh a voice yes quite
25:26fine
25:46I'm so glad you came this evening to renew our acquaintance
25:49our friends friends are our friends
25:51my own belief Countess
25:53but to be a true friend one must enter into the spiritual state of one's friends
26:00I'm not quite sure if I follow that
26:02and you must ask yourself
26:03have you done this in the case of Alexei Alexandrovich?
26:07you follow me?
26:10no not entirely Countess but I do understand his position
26:13you should realize that a great change has been accomplished in him
26:16yes I have thought since his misfortune
26:18the change is not external
26:22his heart has been changed
26:25ah
26:27yes
26:28and what you would call his misfortune
26:29that has proved to be the greatest blessing
26:31now that his heart has been made anew
26:33and is filled with purity and grace
26:36surely
26:40such changes are a matter so private
26:43that not even one's intimate friend should speak of them
26:45no on the contrary
26:47only by speaking freely can we help one another
26:53I think he may wish to sleep now
26:56excuse me master
27:06I did not wish to disturb you
27:08will you sit here with us
27:10I pay no attention
27:23he prefers not to be observed during meditation
27:26who does Countess who does?
27:28his meditations are not of the intellect only
27:31no
27:32they're part of a profound religious experience
27:35I have noticed that Moscow people
27:37the men especially are extremely indifferent to religion
27:41oh no Countess
27:42Moscow is full of staunch believers
27:44but you're not one of them
27:46are you not indifferent?
27:49how can anyone be indifferent?
27:51I
27:54let me say that I suspend judgment
27:57I hardly think the time for such questions has come for me as yet
28:01we can never tell when the time has come
28:04come
28:05well it's not for us to think whether we are ready or not ready
28:09God's grace is not guided by human considerations
28:12sometimes it comes not to those who strive for it
28:14and yet comes to those who are unprepared
28:17as it did to Saul of Tarsus
28:19Saul?
28:20oh
28:22the essential thing is
28:24not to close one's eyes to the light
28:27if you knew the happiness we know
28:29feeling his presence ever in our hearts
28:32but supposing
28:35a man feels himself unworthy to rise to such heights
28:40what do you mean the consciousness of sin holds him back
28:43that's a false idea
28:45you see there is no sin for believers
28:47their sin has been atoned for
28:50faith is all
28:52faith without works
28:54now if I remember the catechism it clearly states that
28:57the epistle of St James
28:59nothing holds men back from belief like that
29:02misinterpretation
29:03the fallacy of that text
29:05I have no works therefore I cannot have faith
29:09are you saying that ethics
29:11the way we behave and so on
29:13have they nothing to do with religion
29:15nothing to do with faith
29:17to labor for God with works
29:20to save one's soul with fasting
29:21these are the
29:23crude ideas of our monks
29:25it's all fast simpler and easier
29:27you see we are saved by Christ
29:29who suffered for us
29:31we are saved by faith
29:33what you are saying then is
29:35forgive me if I got it wrong
29:37is that it doesn't matter how badly a man behaves
29:39or what harm he may do
29:41so long as he's a faithful Christian
29:45what I mean is that
29:46he's sleeping
29:50give him your hand
29:53gently

33:11I love you
34:17Yes probably Tuesday.
34:20So will you see that all Annie's clothes are clean and packed by tomorrow?
34:25Yes ma'am.
34:26What about the winter things?
34:31Take enough with you in case we have a late frost.
34:35Very good madam.
34:39Is that all?
34:41For the moment yes.
34:43I will see you later.
34:50What?
34:51Time.
34:53I'll be right back.
34:55I'll be right back.
34:57I'm alright.
34:58I'm going to go.
34:59I'll be right back.
35:31The post has arrived sir and there's a telegram from Petersburg.
36:01Any answer sir?
36:08No not yet.
36:12Good morning.
36:14Morning.
36:15Some coffee here for madame.
36:17Thank you no.
36:19Your headache quite better?
36:24Quite better.
36:26That's good.
36:27I'm just off to Oberilovka.
36:28I have these papers for my mother to sign and she can send me the money later.
36:31That means we can leave tomorrow.
36:33So it was possible after all but I doubt if I can be ready now.
36:39Who was your telegram from?
36:41From Stefa.
36:42Why did you throw it away?
36:44Because it annoyed me.
36:45Stefa has a passion for sending telegrams.
36:47Why telegraph when nothing is settled?
36:49About the divorce?
36:50Yes.
36:51She says...
36:52Could get nothing definite out of him promises definite answer tomorrow.
37:04I read it to yourself.
37:06Definite answer tomorrow.
37:08Very little hope that will do everything possible and impossible.
37:13Well I would say that that's as nearly settled as anything can be.
37:18If so you can understand why I was vexed.
37:20Not I imagine on my account.
37:22For us both.
37:24As I said yesterday I don't care when I get the divorce or whether I ever get it.
37:28So why are you so concerned?
37:30For your sake.
37:31Whether you wish it or not.
37:33And that of the children we may have.
37:35If it's only that you want sons to carry on your name.
37:38I said for your sake!
37:40Most of all for your sake.
37:43Do you think I can't see why you get depressed and miserable.
37:47Why you're so irritable.
37:49And ready to quarrel for the slightest thing.
37:51It is all due to the uncertainty of your position.
37:54If I am irritable that can't be the reason.
37:57I am entirely in your power.
37:59What is uncertain about that?
38:03When you say such things Anna I begin to despair.
38:06As far as we are concerned you and I.
38:11There is no uncertainty.
38:13But in your imagination there is.
38:16You imagine that I consider myself free.
38:19As far as that goes you can set your mind at rest.
38:23It's a matter of complete indifference to me what your mother thinks.
38:26Or what girl she wants you to marry.
38:28Ah so it's that again.
38:30Precisely that.
38:32Well I told you at least fifty times.
38:34Let me tell you.
38:35A heartless woman mother or no mother is despicable.
38:38I want nothing to do with her.
38:40Let's not speak like that of my mother.
38:41If a woman tries to undermine her son's happiness, honour,
38:43I say it again she has no heart.
38:45That's enough Anna enough.
38:47Your mother.
38:48Be quiet.
38:49You dare to order me.
38:50I forbid you to insult my mother whom I love and respect.
38:52You do neither.
38:53This is all talk talk talk.
38:54Well it's quite clear.
38:55We have to make up our minds.
38:57Mine is already made up.
38:59Tell me how can we live together?
39:02If we do nothing but quarrel.
39:04Who would wish to?
39:16You will be sorry for this.
39:26Damnation.
39:29I will not be threatened.
39:31I will not be threatened.
39:59I will not go to the club first.
40:01Then on to the station.
40:02I will take the rest of my things.
40:04I will make sure the carriage is sent back to the office in case we don't.
40:06Very good.
40:07I'll send that to the office in case we don't.
40:10Very good.
40:37He's gone.
40:44He's gone.
40:46No.
40:48No, he wouldn't go without saying goodbye.
40:54He has gone.
40:58Alone.
41:02He knows. He knows I mustn't be alone.
41:07Can't be alone.
41:15Is there anything I can do madame?
41:17No.
41:19Yes, I think so.
41:22Do you know where the count has gone?
41:24First to the club he said.
41:26Then to the railway station.
41:28He left word for the carriage to return directly in case you should wish to go out.
41:32Then will you please send someone to the club at once?
41:38No, Herman.
41:40Would you go yourself if you will?
41:43Would you tell him I must see him urgently before he leaves for the station?
41:49Would you tell him it's very important?
42:07No, no.
42:08Can't be right.
42:09It's nearly an hour.
42:10It's an hour.
42:11A hole.
42:13An hour.
42:14A hole.
42:15An hour.
42:16A hole.
42:17A hole.
42:18It's an owl.
42:20A hole!
42:21Owl!
42:45I...
42:49Must think.
42:51Think.
42:53What to do. What to do now.
42:56Because he...
42:58He's...
43:02The Count had already left the club madame.
43:04So I went to the railway station.
43:06Yes?
43:08The train was just leaving.
43:10Did you give him my message?
43:12Yes madame.
43:14The Count asked me to tell you that he's sorry.
43:17But he cannot be home until seven o'clock.
43:22Anything else madame?
43:24Wait.
43:26Wait.
43:27Wait.
43:29Wait.
43:30Wait.
43:31Wait.
43:32Wait.
43:33Wait.
43:34Wait.
43:35Wait.
43:36Wait.
43:37Wait.
43:38Wait.
43:39Wait.
43:40Wait.
43:41Wait.
43:42Wait.
43:51Would you see that this telegram is sent immediately?
43:53At once madame.
43:54At once madame.
43:55There's a good girl.
43:56There's a good girl.
43:57Serioja?
44:18There's a good girl.
44:20Serioja?
44:21There's a good girl.
44:23Serioja?
44:25is anything wrong ma'am? wrong? no isn't it time for his walk? beg
44:45pardon ma'am? oh stupid of me no no he isn't here is he he's at school of
44:53course
45:05Annie looks very well doesn't she yes yes she does I'm happy to say yes but she
45:12will be all the better for a breath of country air
45:23anuska anuska are you sure there has been no telegram for me no madam I just told
45:42you well go and no no what's the use of that when is the next train where to madam where to
45:57go a bit of a love car of course I'll find out yes yes and order the carriage
46:14oh he's there he's calm he's happy he's with the old woman and the girl he's making love to the car
46:23I saw them I saw them settling between them this morning doesn't care doesn't care how I saw them
46:35they'd be laughing together the way they did this morning so I shall go I see him once more
46:42to tell him how I hate him for what he's done to me oh yes yes that must be said
46:53and even supposing that I am mistaken that I only imagine horrible things so I implore him to forgive
47:07me I confess myself in the wrong what then it will all be the same the next time worse each time
47:15who can that be pretending to know me well he doesn't nobody does I don't even know myself
47:27as the French say I know only my appetites oh we all want the best but if we can't get it we take what
47:34we can kitty oh yes kitty wanted Alexei but she couldn't have him so she's hated me ever since
47:46she hates me now even though she's married to levin
47:51happily married there is no such thing there is always jealousy anger hatred yes however it may begin
48:02it ends in hatred oh the quarrels are made up but he's unfaithful over and over again and her love
48:11turns to bitterness anguish how can it be otherwise my own husband
48:21how he hates me he has every reason to though god knows he's had his revenge
48:27and I'm punished but when I think about him the touch of him his love
48:38the end would have been the same even if I had never met Alexei so what is it I want divorce marriage
48:48oh he'd go through with it because he's honorable but the zest has gone out of it for him oh yes
48:57that's quite clear and I if I could be anything but his mistress but I don't want more than that
49:09no if we were married he would treat me kindly gently but only from a sense of duty
49:15I would rather be hated outright honestly as people hate each other all over the world
49:25it's the same everywhere always
49:40so
49:56it's
50:06shall I take a ticket to Obi-Roulovka?
50:13what?
