Anna Karenina Page #4

- It's better than being a spectator.

- For the moment, yes.

For eternity.

There eternity ends.

Do you hate me?

You ought to hate me.

If I had pride. But with you

I have no pride, only love.

- I feel so humiliated.

- Is it humiliating to feel deeply?

Poor little Kitty.

It's better she should understand men

before marriage than after.

Dolly, you're tactless.

No, no, not you. You're charming.

Our meetings are so brief,

the dance also.

But our reunions are so frequent.

When I leave you,

I'm lost in a world of strangers.

- When I touch your hand, we're alone.

- I return you to the world.

- Delightful ball.

- Very.

My heart kneels to you.

Oh, Kitty, this mazurka makes me...

- What's the matter, Kitty?

- Nothing. Nothing at all.

I wish this dance would end.

- I shan't stay for supper after all.

- But you promised.

- I return tomorrow to St. Petersburg.

- Really? Why?

I have a husband and a son

to look after.

And it may be years

before I see you all again.

- Good night, Kitty.

- Good night, Anna.

Good night.

Conductor, it's very cold.

I'll tell the stoker

to make up the fire, ma'am.

Isn't it cold?

Don't you think it's cold?

Very cold.

Station Bologoye.

Train stops for five minutes.

I'm going to get a breath of fresh air.

May I help you at all?

I didn't know you were going

back to St. Petersburg so soon.

- Why this change of plan?

- Why? To be where you are.

You know that.

Forgive me, I had to say it.

You shouldn't. You shouldn't.

You must forget that you said it.

Nothing of you.

I'll never forget anything of you.

Here I am, burning

with impatience to see you.

It's very devoted of me,

after 10 years of married life.

- Is Sergei quite well?

- Is that all the thanks I get?

- Did you have a comfortable journey?

- Very comfortable. Thank you.

Count Vronsky, my husband.

- How do you do?

- So you left with the mother...

and returned with the son.

You've been on leave, I suppose?

Did they cry their eyes out

when you left Moscow?

- I hope you'll let me call on you.

- We shall be very pleased.

We're at home on Mondays.

Tell me, am I not a good husband...

to come and meet my wife

in my only free hour?

You're so sure of it,

it leaves me nothing to say.

- How did my Sergei get on without me?

- Sorry to disappoint you...

but your Sergei

hardly missed you at all.

I don't believe that.

Well, at any rate, not half so much

as your husband did.

Mother! Mother!

- Sergei.

- Mother.

I told you it was Mother.

I knew you wanted me,

so I came back sooner.

How was Moscow?

Did you have a good time?

I didn't have a good time without you.

Why didn't you take me with you?
