:40:07
It was she.
:40:10
It was Kitty...
:40:12
on her way to Yergushovo.
:40:16
Quiet, sweet.
:40:22
Loot at her face, mama.
:40:25
So spirited and yet so gentle.
I feel she could almost speak.
:40:31
A fine horse.
:40:33
Everybody's betting on you.
Not entirely for the right reasons.
:40:37
What are you
implying, mama?
:40:39
Don't be coy with me.
:40:41
You must know how you've
become the center of gossip.
:40:48
An affair
in the highest society
:40:51
puts a finishing touch to
a brilliant young man.
:40:55
Lord knows
I shouldn't preach, but there are those
:40:57
who are becoming displeased with you,
Alexei. I want you to break it off.
:41:02
I will not have anyone cast doubt
on the honor of my...
:41:04
Her honor is nonexistent.
So is yours.
:41:08
I've been told you've refused
a post in Moscow.
:41:12
A promotion.
:41:14
Mother, I would ask you
respectfully not to pry.
:41:17
You only get one chance
at a career.
:41:20
Why throw it all away
on some passion?
:41:24
A brilliant, worldly liaison
I would approve of,
:41:28
but not this desperate...
:41:31
Oh, if my love were some ordinary,
:41:33
vulgar society intrigue,
:41:35
you would leave me alone.
:41:38
You have not the remotest
idea what I feel.
:41:42
I find the lying, the deceit,
the scheming intolerable.
:41:46
Then give her up.
