Anna Karenina Page #3

An excellent statement of my position.

- I've heard a good deal of you.

- I've heard of you too.

- Kitty, will you dance?

- Wouldn't you rather...?

- Please, let's dance.

- All right.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

You weren't very nice

to Madam Karenina.

I spoke to her.

You call that being nice? She's the most

beautiful woman at the ball tonight.

Not to me.

I couldn't wait to see you, Kitty.

I love you.

I love you, Kitty.

Does it please you that I love you?

There's no one whose friendship

I value more.

- But you don't feel...?

- Please.

Madam Karenina.

Princess.

Konstantin Dmitrich Levin...

Stiva's told me that you're

supporting the movement...

to educate the peasants.

- Yes, I am.

- Won't you dance, Madam Karenina?

- No, thank you, Count Vronsky.

- I haven't seen you for days.

- Kitty.

Won't you dance?

Yes, I'd like to.

What are you thinking about?

Nothing. Music, dancing, rhythm.

I feel you're not...

- I feel there's something else.

- Why?

Because it's not, somehow, like all

the other times we've danced together.

- You're...

- What?

Strange. You're strange.

You're very charming, Kitty.

Do forgive me, I must speak

to Stiva for a moment.

Certainly.

Stiva, for heaven's sake, tell me

the truth about Vronsky and Kitty.

Very well. Now, you know my wife

is a wonderful woman.

That's the Princess Lvov.

Don't you think she's attractive?

- Yes, but about Kitty.

- Well, in these matters...

my wife has a wonderful intuition.

She says positively that one day...

Kitty will be your wife.

- Does she?

I always said Dolly was a dear.

More than that, my dear Levin,

she's a wonderful woman. She's...

Forgive me.

I feel at such a disadvantage

here in Moscow.

- Why should you?

- I don't feel brilliant or dashing...

or anything like that.

- Oh, there are other things.

Kitty, will you marry me?

Now, please, Konstantin,

don't spoil the ball for me.

If you won't promise to marry me,

will you dance the mazurka with me?

- I'm afraid not.

- May I have the mazurka?

- I'm afraid it's already reserved.

- For whom?

What chance do we stand

against a guardsman?

A St. Petersburg guard to boot.

What a relief it will be when Vronsky

goes back to his regiment, eh?

Won't you relent?

Won't you dance the mazurka with me?

Where is Kitty?

Thank you.

She's entirely surrounded by admiration.

Do you insist on making my evening

a total failure?

Oh, go on, Anna.

Well...

Kitty, will you dance

the mazurka with me?

- No.

- It's better you do.

Otherwise, it'll look...

All right.

I will.

I knew it at the railroad station.

Nothing else has mattered since.

I shall never forget your kindness.

I'm glad Kitty is dancing with Levin.
