express everything
a person feels.
Words are flaccid.
I just dreamed ofyou in my sleep.
As though I were still a child...
By the way, what year was it
when dad left us?
1935. Why?
And the fire? Remember the hay-loft
that burned down at the farm?
That was in '35 too.
All right, stop pulling the wool
over my eyes.
You know... Lisa died.
The one I worked in the printing
house with.
- Oh God... When?
- This morning, at 7.
And what time is it now?
What is now?
- Almost six.
- In the morning?
What's the matter with you?
ln the evening.
Mom, why do we have to fight
all the time?
I'm sorry if I did anything wrong.
Printing-house.
Next stop: Serpukhovskaya.
What's the rush?
Hello.
Where're the proofs
I've been reading?
I don't know. Just a minute.
Yelizaveta Pavlovna is here.
Marousia, what's wrong?
Something in yesterday's proofs?
In the Goslit edition?
Don't be so nervous!
We should look in the typesetting
case.
Nothing terrible has happened.
It's such an important edition!
Although misprints have no place
in any edition.
Shut up, you idiot.
- What happened?
- Nothing serious.
I just want to check something.
I may be wrong...
Let's start from the beginning.
I'd rather do it myself.
Everybody's rushing,
no one's got any time!
You think I'm afraid?
No, let other people
be afraid.
Some people should work,
and others should be afraid.
Well, nothing awful has happened.
If it happened, it happened.
We've been printing all night...
I waited for you since yesterday's
morning.
That you won't come they probably
guessed.
Remember what a beautiful weather
it was?
A holiday weather!
And I walked coatless.
Today you're here, and they have
arranged
An utterly gloomy and cloudy day,
It rains, and it's getting unusually
late,
The rain drops run down the cold
terrain,
Unsoothable by word, unwipable
by hand...
You see, it wasn't there, was it?
Everything is all right.
It wasn't...
That would've been a horrid mistake.
Why are you crying then?
I even saw that word typeset.
What word?
Great!
This is pure alcohol.
Not much, but it might help.
You've got all drenched up.
You look like a scarecrow!
Really, I'm all wet.
I guess I'll go and take a shower.
Where's my comb?
You know who you resemble now?
- Who?
- Maria Timofeyevna.
What Maria Timofeyevna?
Here. You've been looking for
your comb, haven't you?
Tell me, who's Maria Timofeyevna?
There was such a woman,
Captain Lebyadkin's sister.
You're the spitting image
of Lebyadkina.
In what way do I resemble her?
Yes, Fyodor Mikhailovich was...
Whatever you may say...
What?
Lebyadkin, bring some water!
The difference is her brother would
not bring her water, but beat her.
Explain it. I don't understand.
All your life is just that
"bring some water!"
Just an appearance of independence.
If something doesn't suit you,
you pretend
it doesn't exist.
What nonsense you're talking!
I'm amazed at the patience
ofyour ex-husband.
He should have run away
much sooner.
What do you want from me?
Have you ever admitted
you were wrong? Never!
You just made up
this whole situation!
As long as you haven't succeeded
in elevating your dear husband
to this nonsensical emancipated
condition ofyours,
then you can be sure
he has been saved just in time.
As for your children, you will
definitely make them miserable.
Stop this idiocy!
Come on now, Masha!
Leave me alone!
My earthly life traversed but
by a half,
I found myself lost in a twilight
forest...
I always said
that you resemble my mother.
Apparently, that's the reason
we divorced.
I notice with horror how much
lgnat is becoming like you.
Why with horror?
We two could never talk
like normal human beings.
When I recall my childhood
and my mother,
somehow she always has your face.
I know why though.
I pity you both,
you and her.
Why?
Ignat, put the glass down!
You won't be able to live
a normal life with anyone.
Probably.
Don't
