00:30THE END
01:00LILAC
01:22I see you in lilac at the ball
01:26Why lilac especially?
01:28I don't know
01:29It would suit you
01:33You will come
01:35I know why you want me
01:38You're expecting great things
01:40And you want everyone there to share them
01:41Yes
01:42Oh it's good to be your age
01:45I remember that blue haze
01:49Like the haze on a Swiss mountain
01:51It envelops everything in those blissful years
01:55It's the time when childhood is over
01:57And its huge merry circle narrows
02:01To a broad golden path leading upwards into life
02:05Oh this gaiety there
02:08But there's dread as well
02:11Am I right about the great things?
02:15Steve had told me I congratulate you
02:19Told you what?
02:20I met Vronsky at the railway station
02:22Oh
02:23What did Steva tell you?
02:26Everything
02:27I'm very glad for you
02:28I liked him
02:29His mother and I traveled together
02:31And she talked about him without stopping
02:32Her favorite son
02:34Well we all know mothers are biased
02:36But even so
02:37What a chivalrous nature
02:39Yes
02:40Apparently he wanted to give up all his property to his elder brother
02:43But his father stopped that
02:45Thank goodness
02:46What else?
02:48He did something wonderful when he was still quite a boy
02:50What did he do?
02:51He rescued a drowning woman from the river
02:53In fact
02:54Oh he's a hero
02:55Then at the station
03:03The man was killed
03:05And he gave 200 rubles
03:08Oh go on Anna
03:10Anna
03:15I think you're cold in that room upstairs
03:18I have a good mind to move you down to this floor
03:20He mustn't bother truly
03:22Sleep like a doormouse
03:24Anywhere and at any time
03:25But it means changing the curtains
03:27And I'll have to
03:27Now Dolly
03:28You can leave that to me
03:29I'll do the whole thing
03:30I know how you do it
03:32You give Matvey all sorts of impossible instructions
03:35And then go off
03:36And let him make a muddle of everything
03:37Am I not right Matvey?
03:39Without a doubt madam
03:40Straight up
03:41Let's sit down and be comfortable
03:45Oh Dolly
03:46I'm so pleased
03:48Now Anna
03:50Would this not be a good time?
03:52For what?
03:53Didn't you tell me you brought some photographs of Seriosia?
03:57They're in my room
03:57But are you sure you want to see them?
03:59Oh I do very much
04:00I do too
04:01And I carry it unanimously
04:02Then I'll get them
04:04Who can that be?
04:08It's too early for me to be fetched
04:10And too late for callers
04:11Someone with papers for me I should think
04:13Bronski
04:14Take your coat off and come along up
04:28No no no I won't excuse me
04:30There's only the family here
04:31Well if you won't I'll come to you
04:32Well if it's a private matter come along to my study
04:43Oh yes now these were taken this year
04:51Oh Seriosia with his railway set
04:54He does look absorbed
04:55Oh indeed he does
04:56It's all put on especially for the photographer
04:58Anna no
04:59Oh yes I can assure you
05:01What an odd fellow he is
05:03Wouldn't come up
05:05Wouldn't stay
05:06What did he want?
05:07Well that was what was so odd
05:08A completely trivial matter
05:10Some detail about a dinner we're giving at the club next week
05:13Don't you think it was odd?
05:15Yes
05:16Yes I do
05:17Stiva do come look at this one
05:47It's odd
05:48Give it to me

06:16Uh
06:16Uh
06:17Uh
06:17Uh
06:17Come along, hurry.
06:47I'm glad to see you here on time.
06:53People think it's fashionable to arrive late.
06:57I call it bad manners.
07:00You dance extremely well.
07:06Such lightness, such precision.
07:13You know, of course, I dance with everyone.
07:20I do know.
07:21As master of ceremonies, it's your metier.
07:24Alas, yes.
07:26But to dance with you is unalloyed pleasure.
07:30No more than that, it's, why, it's a vacation.
07:38I love you.
07:46I love you.
07:52I love you.
08:49Marsha, go and get us our supper.
08:53Bring us some wine.
08:55There isn't any left.
08:57Go and find some.
09:03Nicky there's a gentleman.
09:05What gentleman?
09:07What does he want?
09:13Gentlemen.
09:15What are we to do with gentlemen?
09:21Kostya.
09:23Oh Kostya.
09:25Nicky.
09:31I don't know you.
09:33I don't want to know you.
09:35What is it?
09:39What have you come here for?
09:41Nothing. I just came to see you.
09:43I wrote!
09:45I just came to see you.
09:49Well in that case come in.
09:51Have some supper.
09:53No wait.
10:01Do you know who this is?
10:03No but I should like to see my friend.
10:05Kritsky from Kiev.
10:07Remarkable man.
10:11He's persecuted by the police.
10:13Of course because he's not a scoundrel.
10:15Now wait I said!
10:17My friend here was expelled from university
10:19for trying to start a benefit society for the poor students.
10:23He organized Sunday schools.
10:25Did you?
10:27Yes but they didn't like that.
10:29So he went as a teacher
10:31to a peasant school
10:33and they drove him out and they put him in jail.
10:35You tried to teach the peasants?
10:37Yes.
10:38The illiteracy of the peasants.
10:39And this woman
10:41this is my lifelong companion
10:45Maria Nikolaevna.
10:49I took her out of the whorehouse.
10:53But I love her.
10:55And respect her.
10:57And anyone who wants my acquaintance
10:59anyone
11:01who wants to know me
11:03must love and respect her too.
11:05She's the same as a wife to me.
11:07Exactly the same.
11:11Now!
11:13Now you know who we are.
11:17If you don't like it
11:19there's the door.
11:21My dear old Nicky
11:25I do like it.
11:31Good.
11:33All right master supper.
11:35Look and wine.
11:36Be quick about it.
11:51Another turn perhaps?
11:55Or are you tired?
11:57Not at all.
11:59But...
12:01A little rest perhaps?
12:03Then where may I take it?
12:04Over there please.
12:05To Madame Karenina.
12:07No no you're wicked to say such things.
12:23Anna why didn't I think of you?
12:25Because for some obscure reason
12:27you saw me in lilac.
12:29Lilac?
12:31Now don't waste time Kitty.
12:32I can see your toes tweaking.
12:34I will tell you Madame
12:35in my opinion the Princess Katerina
12:37is an ornament to this or any other ballroom.
12:39As are you yourself Anna Arkadievna.
12:43Well you know each other.
12:45Whom do we not know my wife and I?
12:47We are like white wolves.
12:49Everyone knows us.
12:51Then perhaps the white she wolf will do me the honor.
12:54Thank you I should be delighted.
12:56Madam.
13:02A short walks perhaps?
13:06I never dance if I can help it.
13:08Ah but tonight you must.
13:14Well naturally.
13:16If waltzing is now compulsive.
13:26I beg your pardon would you go to dance?
13:28Yes. Yes I'd like to very much.
13:32So you see?
13:34Here look at this.
13:35What is it?
13:36A new enterprise.
13:37We're starting.
13:38A productive association.
13:40What for?
13:41You know how capitalism is.
13:43Strangling the worker.
13:45And who is it that carries all the burden of laborers?
13:49The worker.
13:50The peasant.
13:51It's treated like a beast of burden.
13:53Worse.
13:54The harder he works.
13:56The more profits he makes for the merchants.
13:59Yes.
14:00And learned owners like you.
14:02He keeps no profits for himself.
14:04All that's got to be altered you see.
14:07But how?
14:08Ah.
14:09Well we're making a start by founding.
14:12By founding a locksmith's association.
14:16All.
14:17All tools.
14:18All production.
14:19All profits will be common property.
14:21Where's it going to be?
14:22In the village of Osdron.
14:24Kazan province.
14:26I thought they did things like that in villages anyway.
14:29Why start a locksmith association in a village?
14:31Because the peasants are still serfs.
14:33Just as they were before serfdom was abolished in 61.
14:37Abolished.
14:38That's a joke.
14:39Filthy stinking joke.
14:40And because people like you and Sergei.
14:42Don't want people to try and help them out of their slavery.
14:45Oh yes I know the aristocratic view of men like you and Sergei.
14:52Sergei Varnish.
14:54That man has a powerful, a powerful intellect.
14:58He has indeed.
14:59And he employs all his power in justifying existing evil.
15:02It's not so.
15:04Why do you talk about Sergei?
15:06I'll tell you why.
15:07Because he wrote an article.
15:09That's why.
15:12Oh what's the use?
15:16Why did you come here?
15:18You despise all this.
15:20And you're welcome to.
15:22And...
15:26Oh go away.
15:27In God's name go away.
15:29I don't despise it in the least.
15:32I don't even dispute it.
15:34Where's my supper?
15:35Where's my supper?
15:36It won't be long.
15:37Where's my supper?
15:38It won't be long.
15:39I don't want to do anything.
15:40You just don't want to.
15:41You seem so, honey.
15:42You're too hot.
15:43You're not too hot.
15:44that's just right I'm not well so I get irritable
15:59no wonder you come here talking about Sergei and his fatuous article is such rubbish
16:09moonshine a self-deception have you read my brother's article I have not why not
16:15because I don't choose to waste my time allow me to ask how you know it's a waste
16:21of time it's never a waste of time study the enemy's propaganda

23:44Come now. Come tomorrow.
23:51Not if that damn Sergei is there.
23:53No, he won't be there.
23:55All right.
23:58All right, but you know...
24:01You're going to have to choose whose side you're on.
24:06I'm on nobody's side.
24:08But I'll tell you what I think.
24:09I think you're both in the wrong.
24:12You're wrong in the letter.
24:14And he's wrong in the spirit.
24:16You realize that, do you?
24:17I think you're not.
24:18Let go.
24:19Let me go or I'll beat you!
24:23You see?

24:36She knows it all.
24:37Better than any of us.
24:39Don't you think she's good?
24:42Really good.
24:43Yes, Nicky.

25:50Modening his送 不しか ни格好,
25:52...
25:53...
25:55Disgraceful.
26:06Disgraceful.
26:07Where's my little kitty?
26:09I don't see her.
26:16Kitty, darling.
26:19It's only a dance.
26:21One dance.
26:23It's not the end of the world.
26:24It is.
26:26It is for me.
26:28No, dearest.
26:29Whatever you say, I will not go back in there.
26:33Everybody knows.
26:35Kitty, you must.
26:38You must show everyone that you don't care.
26:41That he means nothing to you.
26:44Yes.
26:46Yes, that's true.
26:51Now?
26:51Hello?
27:10Dolly.
27:11Dolly.
27:13There, yes.
27:13Yes.
27:34Yes.
28:05But you can't leave now. Ridiculous.
28:15There's supper.
28:16And after that, I've arranged a wonderful cotillon.
28:20Un bijou.
28:21No, no, forgive me. I can't stay.
28:24I've danced more in Moscow with this one ball
28:26than I have the whole winter in Petersburg.
28:33I'm sorry, but...
28:35I must rest before my journey.
28:38So you really are going tomorrow?
28:40I'm afraid that I must.
28:42Or at least
28:43I know that I should.
29:05Anna?
29:07May I come in?
29:09Come in, Dolly.
29:14Oh, so you're really going?
29:15Yes.
29:17I came here with only one purpose.
29:19A good deed, Anna.
29:20I know.
29:20Yes.
29:21And you achieved it.
29:22I've done nothing.
29:23I could do nothing.
29:24What could I do?
29:26There was enough love in your heart to forgive, that's all.
29:29If it hadn't been for you,
29:31God knows what would have happened.
29:34God knows what did happen.
29:35I don't.
29:38Oh, you mean at the ball?
29:42Yes.
29:44Kitty was fond of me and now she hates me.
29:46She's jealous.
29:48I don't blame her.
29:49I spoiled her wonderful night.
29:51But truly, it was not my fault.
29:54At least, only a little bit.
29:57How you said that?
29:58Just like Steva.
29:59That's not true.
30:00I am not like Steva.
30:03I mean only
30:04how absurd it all was.
30:07All I intended was to
30:09help things along between them
30:11and then
30:11all at once it happened quite differently.
30:15Or perhaps in spite of myself, I...
30:17And he sensed it, of course.
30:19They always do.
30:20Anyway, he's a very attractive man.
30:23And you're beautiful.
30:26Anna,
30:28to tell you the truth,
30:29I'm not very taken with this match for Kitty.
30:32If Vronsky is capable of falling in love with you
30:35in a single evening,
30:36in love?
30:38That's ridiculous.
30:40Well,
30:42whatever happens,
30:43whatever doesn't happen,
30:45I'll never forget what you've done for me.
30:48You're my friend.
30:49and my saviour.
30:52And perhaps your Kitty's too.
30:55So there.
31:02Steva's coming home for dinner.
31:04He'll take you to the station directly after.
31:06Nonsense.
31:23What nonsense?
31:26Are you telling me I won't look the facts straight in the face?
31:29What facts?
31:32A young man looked at me.
31:36Don't they always in Petersburg?
31:40Ten a dozen at a time,
31:41it means nothing.
31:44Nothing at all.
31:46Oh,
31:49the way he looked.
31:53Oh,
31:53the way he looked.
31:55Are you getting out, isn't this?
32:19I want a breath of fresh air.
32:22Would you get us some tea?
32:49I want a breath of fresh air.
33:19Can I be of service to you?
33:40Is there anything you need?
33:42Thank you, nothing.
33:43All I want I have.
33:45The night air, the snow,
33:47this wonderful storm.
33:49Don't you think it's wonderful?
33:52I didn't think so until now.
33:54Now you do.
33:58Yes.
34:00A blizzard
34:00or a ballroom
34:02they're both equally wonderful
34:05if you are there.
34:07I had no idea you were on the train.
34:10Have you been recalled to Petersburg?
34:12You know why I'm here.
34:18I came to be where you are.
34:23Nothing would prevent my coming, certainly not myself.
34:26Whatever you are,
34:28I have to be too.
34:30It's very simple.
34:31It's very simple.
34:38No.
34:38No, you shouldn't.
34:41You mustn't speak like that.
34:43And I beg you to forget that you did.
34:46As I shall.
34:48You can beg
34:49and you may try.
34:52But I'll swear this,
34:56neither you nor I
34:57will ever forget this night.
34:58No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
35:07Let's go.
35:37Here I am, sir.
36:05Well, there you are, Herman.
36:07You needn't wait.
36:08Take my baggage to the apartment and I'll find my own way.
36:11Very well, sir.
36:11Alexei.
36:35Alexei.
36:41You've got my wire then.
36:43How good of you to come and meet me.
36:45How could I refrain?
36:46Here I am.
36:47Fresh as a bridegroom burning with impatience to see you.
36:53How is Sergio Ja?
36:55Is he well?
36:56Is that all the reward I get for my aunt?
36:59Yes the boy is well. Very well indeed.
37:02Forgive me I'd forgotten how much you must have felt this long separation from your beloved child.
37:06There's no need to exaggerate.
37:08Although indeed it seems long enough and now I'm quite reassured.
37:17Good morning I do hope you had a pleasant journey.
37:35Excellent thank you.
37:38Do you know Count Vronsky?
37:41Ah yes I believe you have met before.
37:44I had the good fortune to travel to Moscow with the Countess Vronsky and...
37:48So you uh...
37:49You set out with the mother and returned with the son.
37:53That's a very neat arrangement.
37:55Were you on duty in Moscow?
37:59No a few weeks leave from my regiment.
38:01Not quite.
38:02Well Anna shall we go.
38:08I do hope I may have the honor of calling on you.
38:10Delighted.
38:11We're at home on Mondays.
38:13That's not serious behavior I'm told you've been very good.
38:19I haven't missed you at all.
38:20Unlike you.
38:22Unlike me.
38:23Now you'll forgive me if I put you in the carriage.
38:25I have a mountain of work in my office.
38:30Delighted.
38:33The blind.
38:37Boy.
38:38But the clouds.
38:39I'm not ready for the clouds.
38:43Afraid.
38:48The wind.
38:51Now I'm ready sir.
38:53Bring on the clouds.
38:55But the clouds.
38:57Mama!
38:59Mama!
39:01That's enough.
39:02Enough.
39:03You're choking me.
39:04So you're pleased to see me?
39:06Of course I am.
39:07Jolly glad aren't you?
39:08Oh jolly glad.
39:10Herr Castle I've interrupted the lessons.
39:12For the best of reasons madame.
39:13How do they go?
39:14Recht gut madame.
39:15Recht gut.
39:16We work.
39:17Then we make each other laugh.
39:18And then we work some more.
39:19Excellent.
39:20You've just had a little dictation.
39:23I hate it because it goes so fast and I can't keep up.
39:26Yes you can.
39:27Oh I can but it's so boring.
39:29All about a hard blind boy.
39:31And a fellow called Yanko.
39:33Yanko.
39:34Yanko I ask you.
39:36Leomontov the fair smuggler.
39:38That's a charming story.
39:40Seriozha you're pretending when you say you don't like it.
39:42All very well but you don't have to write it down.
39:45And get spellings right and the commas.
39:48You won't even give me the commas.
39:50Oh that's monstrous.
39:51Herr Castle you're a tyrant.
39:53Yes madame.
39:54Now I know it's early but could you spare Seriozha for half an hour.
39:58You could have your coffee.
40:00Yes but Alexei Alexandrovich distinctly told me not.
40:03Ah my husband will forgive us if we play truant for once.
40:07I want to show Seriozha the things I brought back from Moscow.
40:10Presents?
40:11Well there's one from me.
40:12What is it?
40:13Nothing much.
40:14It's rather miserable really.
40:16What is it?
40:17You'll see.
40:18And there's one from Aunt Dolly and one from Tanya and Grisha and the baby.
40:22Has the baby sent me a present?
40:24Oh yes.
40:25For its age it's very precocious.
40:27It's like you.
40:29Come along the presents are in my room.
40:31What did you do in Moscow?
40:32Lots of things.
40:33Parties.
40:34Yes one.
40:35Any good?
40:37Yes.
40:39Yes it was rather.
40:42Thank you Herr Castle.
40:43Enjoy your coffee.
40:47If that's one of the villains Herrmann don't let him in.
40:53Villains?
40:54What villains?
40:55Paula Darling are far too rich ever to have heard of them.
40:58Debt collectors.
40:59Bloodsuckers.
41:00Fiends.
41:01Howls.
41:02They sniff me out wherever I go.
41:03Even in the haunts of my well-to-do acquaintances.
41:05Silly Pierre.
41:06Silly.
41:07We won't let them catch you.
41:09Who won't?
41:10I will.
41:11Vronsky!
41:12Hi Vronsky.
41:13Welcome to your own home.
41:15Forgive me if I pay more attention to the coffee than to you.
41:18It's much more important I do agree.
41:20This is a truly devilish invention.
41:22It makes devilish good coffee.
41:23At least it does when I make it.
41:24Paula give our host some coffee.
41:26It isn't ready.
41:27By the way you two do know each other.
41:29Baroness Shilton.
41:30Count Vronsky.
41:32Yes indeed.
41:33We are old friends.
41:34You've been to Moscow I hear.
41:36Just got back?
41:37Then I'll run.
41:38Did you see a brougham downstairs?
41:41A very handsome one.
41:43Good.
41:44You're tired.
41:45Travel worn.
41:46The last thing you need is a chattering woman.
41:49So I'll be off home.
41:51But you are at home.
41:53Wherever you are.
41:55Oh Pierre.
41:57You don't say pretty things like that.
41:59Oh yes I do.
42:00After dinner.
42:01There's no merit in it after dinner.
42:04Now then.
42:07Where's your wife?
42:09Wife?
42:10All your friends here have been marrying you off.
42:13Don't say that you haven't brought back a wife.
42:15Not even a small one.
42:17No Baroness.
42:18A bohemian I was born and a bohemian I shall die.
42:22So much the better.
42:24Shake hands on it.
42:26And I mean surely speaking as a wife yourself.
42:29Ah now that's exactly what irritates her.
42:31Oh?
42:32My husband won't agree to give me a divorce.
42:35The brute.
42:36Why should he? I wouldn't.
42:37Oh you.
42:38What am I to do?
42:40I can't get hold of my property without a lawsuit.
42:43Then I suggest you bring a lawsuit.
42:44No it's too absurd.
42:46Just because I am supposed to be unfaithful to him.
42:49I do see the difference.
42:50He thinks that he can enjoy my property.
42:52Well he's got a case you know.
42:53After all it's the only enjoyment he can get.
42:56Count.
42:57Advise me won't you?
42:58I suggest you take a dagger to his throat.
43:00No.
43:01Seriously.
43:02I agree.
43:03I think it's an excellent plan.
43:04What?
43:05But.
43:08Hold the knife.
43:10So that your little hand just touches his lips.
43:14Then he will kiss it.
43:16And all will be well.
43:18What a perfectly romantic...
43:20Oh!
43:21Oh!
43:23And the others?
43:24What about the others?
43:25Not ready Maddy.
43:26Not ready.
43:27But I do not understand.
43:29I simply do not understand.
43:31And this one.
43:32Look at it.
43:33You were here when I told her.
43:35What did I say?
43:36You said that the cream lace was to be removed and the bodice was to be made.
43:39Exactly.
43:40Black velvet for the bodice.
43:41Black.
43:42So what does she do?
43:43This fool of a woman.
43:44This so-called dressmaker.
43:45Blue.
43:46Prussian blue!
43:48Did she bring it herself?
43:54Yes madam.
43:55An hour ago.
43:56Then send for her.
43:57I want her here at once.
43:59Now.
44:00Now!
44:01Well it's no good you saying now like that.
44:03She has other clients.
44:04For all I...
44:05Anushka!
44:06Yes madam.
44:07Come in!
44:10Is anything wrong?
44:11No Alexei.
44:12Nothing.
44:13Oh there now.
44:15Anushka.
44:16It's not your fault.
44:17But do please find that woman and tell her quite nicely
44:21that whatever happens I cannot wear Prussian blue.
44:24It does not become me.
44:25In fact I never heard of any woman it could become.
44:28Except perhaps a Prussian.
44:31I'll tell her.
44:33She won't get it tonight.
44:40Are you sure?
44:42Well I've mentioned this before but wouldn't you be better with a French maid?
44:46No.
44:47Anushka and I get on very well.
44:50It was only that...
44:52Alexei you know how careful I am about spending money on dress.
44:55Oh admirable yes.
44:58Alexei.
45:00Please.
45:02Oh beg your pardon.
45:03So before I went away I left word for three evening gowns to be altered.
45:07Two last me the rest of the season you understand.
45:10Yes indeed.
45:11But two aren't finished and the third it's quite wrong.
45:15And I was hoping to wear one this evening.
45:17Will you be in?
45:18For dinner yes.
45:19You know...
45:20I'm glad to be back.
45:21Safe and sound in my own home.
45:23I thought of going out but...
45:24Oh where?
45:25Princess Betsy Tverskoy sent a note she has an evening.
45:26I...
45:27I don't approve of that woman.
45:28I know.
45:29So I shan't go.
45:30I'm glad to hear it.
45:31Because I haven't a thing to wear.
45:33And you.
45:34Oh after dinner a council meeting.
45:36That's rather important.
45:37Before that there is a meeting.
45:39I'm glad to be back.
45:41I'm glad to be back.
45:43Safe and sound in my own home.
45:45I thought of going out but...
45:47Oh where?
45:48Princess Betsy Tverskoy sent a note she has an evening.
45:50I...
45:51I don't approve of that woman.
45:52I know.
45:53So I shan't go.
45:54I'm glad to hear it.
45:55Because I haven't a thing to wear.
45:57And you.
45:58After dinner a council meeting.
45:59Before that there are people to see but I shall fit them all in.
46:02Well you know what I say my dear.
46:04Yes my dear Alexei I do.
46:06Without haste and without respite.
46:08That's your motto.
46:10Each day an hour and minute accounted for.
46:14When will you be home?
46:16At ten.
46:17Ten sharp.
46:19Of course.
46:20Of course.
46:21I shall be here.
46:29Now Patritsky this rumor about my getting married.
46:32Not my doing.
46:33Carcass office in Moscow came back and told us some pretty weird stories.
46:37Oh?
46:38All about a charming virgin princess.
46:40Who had you in thrall.
46:42You've gone all respectable.
46:44Wouldn't go to any late night parties.
46:46In fact I don't mind telling you we were getting a little anxious.
46:50You know me better than that.
46:52I thought I did.
46:53I had yes a princess.
46:55Charming and virginal is a good deal of dancing.
46:57A little flirtation.
46:58Innocent flirtation.
46:59And nothing else.
47:00Sounds deadly boring to me.
47:02She is very pretty.
47:04As you know I'm not the marrying kind.
47:07And of course she knew that and enjoyed the fun as much as I did.
47:11And she doesn't lack for admirers.
47:14And I found it amusing to cut them out.
47:16I'm relieved.
47:17It was a small idyllic interlude and goodbye.
47:21Well I don't suppose you wasted all your time.
47:25Any real women?
47:27Yes.
47:28Who was she?
47:29Gypsy?
47:30A Hungarian dancer?
47:32Neither.
47:33Come on tell me.
47:35No.
47:36Not another virgin surely.
47:44You know Patritsky it's a strange thing.
47:47Or at least it may sound strange to you.
47:50But I have no desire to talk about this.
47:53Whatever happens and nothing may happen.
47:58It lies in the future.
48:00I have no idea.
48:01Oh Jane's favourite, she's a good lady.
48:02She's a good lady.
48:03It was a good lady.
48:04standardship.
48:05Tell me about her.
48:06She's a good lady.
48:07Why are you?
48:08She's a good lady.
48:09Grandma?
48:10You rech!
48:11Why are you pretending?
48:12I thought you'd be down to kiss me and I'd jump up with a shriek and...
48:19Mama?
48:23You wretch. Why are you pretending?
48:26I thought you'd been down to kiss me and I'd jump up with a shriek and...
48:30You'd frighten your poor mama to death. Not to death.
48:33You won't expect a goodnight kiss after that.
48:36If you don't, if you don't I will shriek and howl like a wolf.
48:41Go on, see if I care.
48:43You monster!
48:45You're a horrible monster.
48:49I'm a horrible monster.
48:52If I give you a kiss, will you let me go?
48:55Two?
48:56Well, all right.
48:58One.
49:00Two.
49:01Um, one for luck.
49:03Oh, one for luck, darling.
49:06No, that's a lot better.
49:09Now snuggle down.
49:16Eyes shut.
49:19Horrible monster.
