:50:00
Too sentimental.
:50:04
That winter
Sonja and I had a wonderful time.
:50:07
We found a new friend,
Berdykov, the village idiot.
:50:10
Berdykov would sit smiling for days
and stroke a little piece ofvelvet.
:50:14
Sonja would make him happy
by feeding him cookies.
:50:17
We looked forward to the spring,
when we could have a child ofour own.
:50:21
Little did we know...
:50:23
War! Napoleon
has invaded Russia! It's war!
:50:31
Oh, what about all our plans?
We were gonna be parents this year!
:50:35
There's gonna be a slight change.
Instead, we're gonna be refugees.
:50:39
- That's terrible!
- We have to take everything and flee.
:50:42
I'm very good at that. I was the men's
freestyle fleeing champion for two years.
:50:46
We have to burn the food so the French
don't get it. But it's tough to light borscht.
:50:51
- Boris, I have an idea.
- What?
:50:54
Let's assassinate Napoleon.
:50:57
Yeah. Interesting.
Do you want to start knitting dinner?
:51:00
- I'm serious.
- What do you mean?
:51:02
I mean, let's you and I kill Napoleon.
:51:05
You been drinking from
the glass we use for the village idiot?
:51:08
- It's the answer to our problems.
- It's not the answer. It's an answer.
:51:12
And it's the wrong answer.
The correct answer is flee. F-L-E-A. Flee.
:51:16
- The French occupy Moscow. He's there.
- Sonja!
:51:20
Two innocent-looking types like us
could get in and shoot him.
:51:24
We'd never get near him,
and if we did, we'd miss.
:51:26
He's a tough target. He's very small.
:51:28
Boris, it's our chance
to perform a truly heroic act.
:51:31
Since when is murder a heroic act?
:51:33
Violence is justified
in the service of mankind.
:51:37
- Who said that?
- Attila the Hun.
:51:39
You're quoting a Hun to me?
:51:41
Don't you know
that murder carries with it
:51:44
a moral imperative that transcends
any notion of inherent universal free will?
:51:50
That is incredibly jejune.
:51:54
- That's jejune?
- Jejune!
:51:56
You have the temerity to say that
I'm talking to you out ofjejunosity?
