The Last Station Page #5
Let me assure you that
I'm not a very good Tolstoyan myself.
before asking my advice on anything.
"Torture. "
Kalya was her name.
She's an old woman now.
White hair, old body, like me.
Hardly remember my name,
I suspect.
She may even be dead.
Do you think all that
meant something?
What do you mean?
Well, I mean, that little romance.
Well, I think you would say...
I mean...
...I think I've read where you say
that the physical body is not real.
That it's all an illusion.
I say a lot of things.
But what do you say?
What do you think?
I don't know.
I don't know, either.
Oh, smell that.
- Lilac.
- Precisely. Lilac.
Scent gets stronger
when the sun goes down.
Does it?
Papa!
He's free!
He's coming back!
My friend.
He has come to try again to persuade
your father to change the will...
...to give the copyright
as a gift to humanity.
- The reptile.
- Papa's not in his right mind.
He can't defend himself
against these thieves.
You're a fine son, my darling.
None of this fake chastity
or made-up religion.
I wish all my children
had turned out like you.
Vladimir Grigorevich,
what a surprise.
Sofya Andreyevna.
- I'm happy to see you.
- And I'm happy to make you happy.
Come, come, my friend.
Now, we have a great deal
to talk about.
I'm happy to have a moment
alone with you, Valentin.
- There seems to be some confusion.
- What do you mean?
You send me commentary
on Tolstoy's writing...
...and that's all very interesting,
but not very useful.
See, I need to know what goes on
with Sofya Andreyevna.
You must see by now
how committed she is...
...to undermining
her husband's best intentions.
It's not quite so obvious to me.
The woman understands nothing
of what we're doing.
We simply want to distribute
Tolstoy's writing...
...to the widest audience possible.
I can only be of limited use
to the master...
...if I don't know what's going on.
The survival of our movement
depends upon it.
- You value our work?
- I do.
- The ideals we share?
- It's why I'm here.
Very good.
- Good morning, darling.
- Good morning.
- Do you mind if I join you?
- No, of course, of course, my dear.
You know...
...it's quite insane, my darling,
how people are making fun of you.
- What are you talking about?
- Even the muzhiks.
I heard them laughing about it in
the horse barn.
About what?
Laughing about what?
About the fact
that you've developed a senile crush...
...on a fat, middle-aged flatterer.
Your passion for Chertkov
I have a great affection
for Vladimir Grigorevich.
Let them laugh
if they find it so amusing.
