:25:04
And you sit here,
like at a funeral service.
:25:06
Sophia Yegorovna and I
just played out a comedy for you.
:25:10
And nobody even smiled.
:25:13
Just look at them, they're as boring
as a choir of Moravian teachers.
:25:19
He can't stand it
when people sit quietly.
:25:22
Michel is right!
:25:24
He's absolutely right! We've deserved
it! We've deserved even more!
:25:29
He's the only one among us who lives
and breathes at his full potential!
:25:36
If it were not for him,
we would have withered altogether.
:25:39
You're such a clever man,
Sergey Pavlovich.
:25:43
What do you think, ladies and
gentlemen, is there any hope
:25:49
that we'd be given something to eat
today?
:25:51
Yes, Anna Petrovna, really?
:25:57
I'm so tired of him!
He's outrageously cheeky!
:26:04
Everyone is being patient and waits,
so you wait too!
:26:07
Do you ever happen not to be hungry?
:26:12
He eats and eats, there's no end of it.
:26:14
I made a point of watching him,
and was amazed.
:26:18
Two cups of tea,
a piece of beef that big,
:26:22
then five eggs, after which
he returned to his room
:26:25
and finished half a pie!
:26:28
Why's everybody shouting, quarrelling,
stamping their feet? No peace all day!
:26:34
What's that racket?
:26:36
Stop it now!
What is it?
:26:43
Aha! Hurray! My admirer's coming!
:26:48
Yes! Yes!
And I'll repeat it: You're toads!
:26:52
They tagged after their father here,
just to make a show of disobedience,
:26:58
and they put on those green dresses
to boot!
