:58:01
Not at all.
:58:02
I am...I have been advising
Larissa's mother for many years.
:58:06
I'm interested in what happens to her.
:58:08
There's something I have to tell you.
And that is this:
:58:11
I am committed to the Revolution.
:58:14
Nothing...
:58:16
...not even Lara,
has more importance for me.
:58:22
You misunderstand.
:58:24
Your political views do not concern me.
:58:26
So far as that goes, I'm probably
more in sympathy than you suppose.
:58:30
I have a few contacts of my own,
which might surprise you.
:58:33
How do you propose to live?
:58:35
I've been offered a teaching post.
:58:37
- May I know where?
- Gradov. It's in the Urals.
:58:40
I know it. Not much of a place.
:58:42
It's beautiful country,
Monsieur Komarovsky.
:58:45
It'll be a quiet life, won't it?
:58:47
That's what we want.
:58:49
Well, you'll excuse me.
Will your salary be adequate?
:58:52
Adequate. If not more.
:58:58
Pavel Pavlovich, my chief impression is,
and I mean no offense...
:59:03
...is that you're very young.
:59:04
Monsieur Komarovsky,
I hope I don't offend you.
:59:07
Do people improve with age?
:59:10
They grow a little more tolerant.
:59:11
Because they have more
to tolerate in themselves.
:59:14
If people don't marry young,
what do they bring to their marriage?
:59:17
A little experience.
:59:20
I'm 26. My mother died, needlessly,
when I was eight.
:59:24
My father died in prison.
I have fended for myself.
:59:27
I've worked my way
through higher school and university.
:59:30
I am familiar with things
that you can hardly guess at.
:59:33
All this is an experience
of a kind, certainly.
:59:37
I've no amorous experience,
if that's what you mean.
:59:39
None whatever. Lara's 17.
That speaks for itself.
:59:44
You probably find this situation comic.
We don't.
:59:47
We're going to be married next year.
:59:57
I hope I haven't offended you
by speaking plainly.
