I love the 18th Century.
A time of genius and manners
:14:07
I would have to agree with you
:14:10
- Never contradict me
- Very well
:14:14
Where's the Empress? Gone!
:14:17
Russia is like a theatre.
A theatre!
:14:21
Careful!
:14:22
I think I know where we are
:14:26
How pretentious they are!
:14:31
Don't lag behind, sir
:14:33
I'm not.
I think we're speaking too loudly
:14:37
No matter. They're completely deaf
:14:41
I'm careful. I won't touch anyone
:14:45
Theatre... What actors!
And those costumes!
:14:57
Thank you, sirs. Thank you
:15:00
They can't see me
:15:09
This seems like the Vatican.
Is that where we are?
:15:18
Those reliefs are painted,
are they not?
:15:21
What naturalism!
:15:24
Weren't those decorations inspired
by sketches of Raphael?
:15:29
Raphael, yes.
:15:33
Better than the Vatican.
This is St Petersburg
:15:36
So they're copies?
:15:38
Your authorities don't trust
your own artists
:15:42
Russians are so talented
at copying!
:15:46
Why?
:15:48
Because you don't have
ideas of your own
:15:51
Your authorities don't want you
to have them
:15:56
In fact, they are as lazy
as all the rest of you
