Crime and Punishment Page #4

I would have come sooner,

only I didn't know where you lived

or even your name.

Then I remembered the pawnbroker

could tell from her books.

Excuse me. I had to thank you.

I'd better go now.

Not until you meet my mother and sister.

- Mother... What's your name?

- Sonya.

Sonya. A friend of mine.

- How do you do?

- How do you do?

My sister, Antonia.

I don't think you should be asked

to meet a person

who's a nameless acquaintance

of your brother's.

Which one of your two government

positions permit you to insult her?

- Roderick, please!

- It's my duty to protect the honour

of the woman I'm going to make my wife.

Did you say "honour"? If she marries you,

she doesn't know what the word means.

- Roderick, what are you saying?

- Don't get excited, Mother.

I know you didn't mean it. You're upset.

I forbid you to speak to him.

I'm sorry, Mr Lushin.

I expected a different sort of welcome

for you.

I shall not hold this against you, Antonia,

but you are never to see your brother again.

Do you understand? Come.

- Tony, don't go with him.

- Leave me alone. I'll do what I please.

Mother, you must stop her.

Take her home with you at once.

But, darling, we've nowhere to go.

Mr Lushin promised to pay our hotel bills

after we got here.

You mean without his help

you have no place to sleep tonight?

Roderick, don't you see?

There's no use fighting against

the will of Heaven!

All I can see is that my sister

is selling herself for a night's lodging.

Don't make this seem worse than it is.

- She's doing this for you.

- I won't have it.

This is only a question of money.

Are you going to let him buy

Antonia's future,

and yours and mine?

We'll talk this over again

in the morning.

I'm sure you'll feel differently

about it then.

Money.

Money!

Money! Money!

Money, money, money!

- What are you tying all those knots for?

- You'll find out. Just wait.

You've studied these things.

You know better than anyone else

that crime is always found out.

I've studied these things.

They won't find me out.

I won't make mistakes.

The ideals that we hold precious.

The future is yours.

Take it into your strong, young hands

with a high purpose.

- I'll take it into my strong young hands.

- Coward!

Antonia's marrying him for your sake.

She won't have to marry him for my sake.

- Move along, move along.

- Get out of my way!

What do you want? It's after hours.

It's me. Don't you remember?

I've got a valuable cigarette case.

Nice hour this to come around

with your rubbish.

Come in.

Let's see this valuable cigarette case

of yours.

- What's it made of, lead?

- Gold.

What's the idea of making so many knots?

It must be inlaid with diamonds,
