Why do you always
wear mourning?00:01:36
Black matches my life.00:01:38
- I am unhappy.
- I don't understand it.00:01:41
You are healthy,00:01:42
and though your father is not rich,00:01:44
he has a good competency.00:01:47
Happiness does not depend
on riches;00:01:49
poor men are often happy.00:01:50
In theory, yes,00:01:52
but not in reality.00:01:54
Take my case, for instance,00:01:55
our big family.00:01:57
We must all live somehow
on my salary00:01:59
of 23 roubles a month.00:02:02
- You want to borrow some money?
- No, thank you.00:02:07
There is no ground00:02:09
on which your soul and mine can meet.00:02:11
And this is quite understandable.00:02:13
You can have no inducement00:02:15
to marry a poorman.00:02:18
I am touched by your affection,00:02:21
but I cannot return it,00:02:23
that is all.00:02:25
You shall be called00:02:26
when the play begins, my friends,00:02:28
but you must not stay here.00:02:33
Let's go.00:02:38
Of course the whole effect
will be ruined00:02:40
if Nina is late.00:02:47
She should be here by now.00:02:57
You need to have your hair
and beard trimmed.00:02:59
They are the tragedy
of my existence.00:03:02
Even when I was young00:03:05
I always looked as if I were drunk.00:03:08
Women have never liked me.00:03:13
- Why is my sister out of temper?
- Why?00:03:17
Because she is jealous and bored.00:03:20
She hates my play
without ever having read it.00:03:25
Yes, she is furious because Nina00:03:28
is going to have a success
on this little stage.00:03:30
Keep calm.00:03:31
Your mother adores you.00:03:33
She loves me,00:03:36
loves me not...00:03:42
...loves me not!00:03:45
You see, she doesn't love me,00:03:48
and why should she?
She likes life00:03:52
and love and gay clothes,00:03:55
and my being 25 years old
is a sufficient reminder to her00:03:57
that she is no longer young.00:04:01
She adores modern theatre.00:04:04
She thinks she's playing
for the benefit of humanity,00:04:08
but to me the theatre
is all about convention,00:04:12
when all those "geniuses" attempt00:04:13
to extract a moral00:04:15
from their insipid talk,00:04:17
when they give us00:04:20
under a thousand different guises00:04:22
the same old stuff,00:04:24
then I must needs run from it,00:04:27
as Maupassant ran
from the Eiffel Tower00:04:29
that was about to crush him
by its vulgarity.00:04:31
But we can't do without a theatre.00:04:34
No, but we must have it
under a new form.00:04:37
Yes, we need new forms.00:04:41
If we can't do that,
let us rather not have it at all.00:04:48
I love my mother,00:04:50
I love her devotedly,00:04:52
but she always has this writer00:04:54
of hers on her mind.00:04:57
Plain, human egoism00:04:59
sometimes speaks in my heart,00:05:01
and I regret that my mother00:05:03
is a famous actress.00:05:06
If she were an ordinary woman00:05:08
I think I would be a happier man.00:05:10
I like literary men.00:05:16
I once passionately desired00:05:18
two things:00:05:20
to marry,00:05:22
and to become00:05:24
an author.00:05:28
It must be pleasant00:05:31
to be even an insignificant author.00:05:38
It's her.00:05:42
- It can't be that I am late.
- No, no, no!00:05:45
I have been in a fever all day,00:05:47
I was so afraid my father
would prevent my coming.00:05:50
What's so funny?00:05:52
You have been crying?00:05:54
- You mustn't do that.
- It is nothing.00:05:56
I must go in half an hour.00:05:58
- Do let us hurry.
- It is time00:06:01
- to begin now.
- Let me call them.00:06:03
Let me call them.00:06:14
My father and his wife
never will let me come here;00:06:17
they call this place Bohemia00:06:20
and are afraid
I shall become an actress.00:06:25
My heart is full of you.00:06:48
Don't go away early, I implore you.00:06:51
I must.00:06:53
I shall stand00:06:55
in your garden all night00:06:56
with my eyes on your window.00:06:58
Don't - the watchman would see you.00:07:02
- I love you.
- Shh...00:07:16
- Are you nervous?
- Yes, very.00:07:22
I am not so much afraid
of your mother00:07:24
as I am of Trigorin.
He is so famous.00:07:27
- He's coming, too?
- Yes.00:07:29
What beautiful stories he writes!00:07:31
I've never read any of them.00:07:39
Your play is very hard to act;00:07:40
it seems more like a recitation.00:07:44
I think00:07:46
love should always
come into every play.00:07:49
She acted most beautifully00:07:51
at the Poltava Fair in 1873;00:07:54
she was really magnificent.00:07:56
But tell me, too,00:07:58
where Tchadin the comedian00:08:00
is now?00:08:02
He was inimitable
as Rasplueff,00:08:05
better than Sadofski.00:08:08
Don't ask me where
all those antediluvians are!00:08:10
I know nothing about them.00:08:16
Kostya!00:08:20
When will the play begin?00:08:22
In a moment.
I must ask you to have patience.00:08:24
Pavel Tchadin!00:08:26
Pavel Tchadin!00:08:28
There are none left like him.00:08:29
The stage
is not what it was in his time.00:08:32
There were sturdy oaks
growing on it then,00:08:33
where now but stumps remain.00:08:36
With your permission,
I'll sit next to my wife.00:08:38
- Evgeny!
- Yes,00:08:41
we have few dazzling
geniuses these days,00:08:44
but the average
of acting is higher.00:08:47
I cannot agree with you,00:08:49
however,00:08:51
that is a matter...00:08:54
of taste.00:09:02
Attention, ladies and gentlemen!00:09:05
I shall commence.00:09:09
O, ye time-honoured, ancient mists00:09:14
that drive at night
across the surface of this lake,00:09:18
blind you our eyes with sleep,00:09:21
and show us in our dreams00:09:25
that which will be00:09:27
in twice ten thousand years!00:09:29
There won't be anything00:09:32
in twice ten thousand years.00:09:35
Then00:09:37
let them now show us00:09:39
that nothingness.00:09:41
Yes, let them - we are asleep.00:10:03
All men and beasts, lions,00:10:05
eagles, and quails,00:10:07
horned stags, geese, spiders,00:10:10
silent fish that inhabit the waves,00:10:13
starfish from the sea,00:10:15
and creatures invisible to the eye00:10:18
in one word, life - all, all life,00:10:22
completing the dreary round
imposed upon it,00:10:24
has died out at last.00:10:27
- What decadent rubbish is this?
- Mother!00:10:29
A thousand years have passed00:10:31
since the earth last bore00:10:33
a living creature on her breast,00:10:36
and the unhappy moon now00:10:38
lights her lamp in vain.00:10:43
All is void,00:10:45
void,00:10:47
void.00:10:50
The bodies of all living creatures
have dropped to dust00:10:54
and eternal matter has transformed
them into stones00:10:57
and water and clouds;00:10:59
but their spirits00:11:01
have flowed together into one,00:11:03
and that great world-soul am I!00:11:06
In me the consciousness of man
has joined hands00:11:07
with the instinct of the animal.00:11:09
I understand all,00:11:10
all, all,00:11:12
and each life00:11:14
- lives again in me.
- I smell sulphur.00:11:17
- Is that done on purpose?
- Yes.00:11:19
I am alone.00:11:22
My voice00:11:24
echoes mournfully
across the desert earth,00:11:27
and no one hears.00:11:32
And you, poor lights of the marsh,00:11:35
you do not hear me.00:11:37
Like a captive00:11:39
in a dungeon deep and void,00:11:42
I know not where I am,00:11:44
nor what awaits me.00:11:47
I only know00:11:49
I am destined
to be victorious in the end.00:11:52
Matter and spirit00:11:53
will then be one at last
in glorious harmony,00:11:56
But this can only come to pass00:11:58
by slow degrees,00:12:01
when after countless eons00:12:03
the moon00:12:04
and earth00:12:06
and shining Sirius himself00:12:08
shall fall to dust.00:12:11
Until that hour, oh, horror!00:12:14
Put on your hat,
or you'll catch cold.00:12:17
The doctor has taken off his hat
to Satan father of eternal matter.00:12:20
Enough of this!00:12:23
Down with the curtain!00:12:25
Down with the curtain!00:12:34
I forgot that only a chosen few
might write plays or act them.00:12:38
I have infringed the monopoly.00:12:41
What is the matter with him?00:12:44
Tut-tut, sister.00:12:47
You should not handle
youthful egoism00:12:50
- so roughly.
- What wrong have I said?00:12:52
He told me himself
this was all in fun,00:12:55
so I treated it
as if it were a comedy.00:12:59
Now it appears we were watching
a masterpiece, if you please!00:13:02
- He had hoped to give you pleasure.
- He did not choose an ordinary play,00:13:07
but forced his decadent trash on us.00:13:10
I am willing to listen
to any raving, for fun,00:13:12
but he pretended
to be introducing us00:13:14
to a new form of art.00:13:23
It was simply
an exhibition of bad temper.00:13:26
Everybody must write as he feels.00:13:28
Let him spare me his nonsense.00:13:32
I see the play will never
be finished,00:13:34
so now I can go home.00:13:36
- Bravo! Bravo!
- Bravo!00:13:39
Bravo!00:13:41
We were quite charmed
by your acting.00:13:44
It is a crime
to hide yourself in the country.00:13:47
You're talented.00:13:49
- You must become an actress.
- It's the dream of my life,00:13:51
- which will never come true.
- Perhaps it will.00:13:53
But let me present
Monsieur Boris Trigorin.00:13:56
I am delighted to meet you.
I have read all your books.00:13:59
Don't be afraid of him, dear.00:14:01
He is a simple, good-natured soul.00:14:05
It is depressing to have
this curtain drawn.00:14:07
Jacob, my man!00:14:09
Draw the curtain open!00:14:15
The famous Silva in the Opera House00:14:18
once took the low C.00:14:21
It was delightful!00:14:23
And at this very moment00:14:26
one of the church cantors,00:14:29
who happened to be sitting00:14:31
in the gallery,00:14:32
suddenly boomed out:00:14:35
"Bravo, Silva!"00:14:38
a whole octave lower.00:14:40
Like this:00:14:43
Bravo, Silva!00:14:50
The audience was left breathless.00:15:00
An angel of silence
is flying over our heads.00:15:03
I must go.00:15:05
- Good-bye.
- Where to?00:15:07
- Don't go away.
- My father is waiting for me.00:15:09
If you only knew how hard it is
for me to leave you all.00:15:12
- Somebody must see you home.
- No, no!00:15:15
- Stay just one hour more.
- No, no, I can't.00:15:20
Good bye!00:15:27
Come, let us go in -
the night is damp,00:15:32
and my legs are aching.00:15:35
Let's go,00:15:37
oh my hapless old brother.00:15:41
Oh, yes...00:15:46
Madame!00:15:49
Yes,00:15:51
a whole octave lower:00:15:53
"Bravo, Silva!"00:15:57
And he wasn't a singer either,00:15:59
just a simple church cantor.00:16:01
What salary
does the church pay its singers?00:16:11
It's you, Doctor?00:16:17
Masha has been yelling
for me all over the park.00:16:21
An insufferable creature.00:16:26
Your play00:16:28
delighted me.00:16:32
It was strange,
and I did not hear the end,00:16:36
but it made
a deep impression on me.00:16:39
You have a talent,
and must persevere in your work.00:16:43
What I mean is...00:16:47
A work of art00:16:48
should invariably embody00:16:51
some lofty idea.00:16:55
Only that which is seriously
meant can ever be beautiful.00:16:58
- So you advise me to persevere?
- Yes,00:17:02
I have led a colorful life,00:17:04
as you know,00:17:06
and am a contented man,00:17:08
but if I should ever experience
the exaltation00:17:11
that an artist feels,00:17:15
I think I would spurn00:17:17
all things mundane!00:17:18
- Yes, I would!
- Where is Nina?00:17:23
- She has gone home.
- I want to see her,00:17:25
I must see her!00:17:27
I shall follow her.00:17:29
Your mother wants you
to come in.00:17:31
She is waiting for you.00:17:34
For heaven's sake,00:17:36
all of you, leave me alone!00:17:38
Go away! Don't follow me about!00:17:41
Come, come,00:17:42
old chap,00:17:44
don't act like this.00:17:46
Good-bye, doctor, and thank you.00:17:51
Ah, youth, youth!00:17:56
It is always "Youth, youth",00:17:59
when there is nothing
else to be said.00:18:03
How horrid.00:18:07
I must go in.00:18:11
Wait a moment.00:18:16
I do not love my father,00:18:18
but my heart turns to you.00:18:20
I feel with all my soul
that you are near to me.00:18:23
Help me!00:18:25
Help me, or I shall do
something foolish00:18:28
and mock at my life, and ruin it.00:18:31
I am at the end of my strength.00:18:35
How can I...00:18:37
help you?00:18:42
I love Constantine.00:18:46
Oh, how excitable you all are!00:18:49
And how much love00:18:53
there is about this lake of spells!00:18:59
But what can I do for you, my child?00:19:04
What?00:19:06
What?00:20:27
Are you asleep, Irina?00:20:55
So we are happy now, eh?00:20:58
Kostik is off hunting.00:21:00
He is weird.00:21:02
Yesternight he wanted me00:21:03
to come out,00:21:05
but I was receiving my cousin.00:21:07
I told him that much,
and he got offended.00:21:10
But I was having
a guest, that's why.00:21:12
Princes coming galore.00:21:15
One must be lucky
to be in love with a prince.00:21:18
On Boulevard de la Croisette00:21:20
I met three princes,00:21:21
one following another.00:21:24
Good tidings.00:21:26
Nina's Father and stepmother
have gone away to Tver,00:21:30
and she is free
for three whole days!00:21:32
I am so happy.00:21:34
She looks lovely to-day.00:21:37
So sweet-looking.
And beaming, too.00:21:38
Yes, indeed.00:21:40
That was nice of you.00:21:42
But we mustn't praise her too much;
we shall spoil her.00:21:46
- Where is Trigorin?
- He is fishing off the wharf.00:21:53
- I wonder he isn't bored.
- What are you reading?00:21:56
"On the Water," by Maupassant.00:22:04
Jacob!00:22:08
Good day.00:22:10
I am delighted to see you
looking so well.00:22:13
Jacob!00:22:14
Hurry up.00:22:18
You mean to go to town
with my wife to-day,00:22:20
- Is that so?
- Yes.00:22:23
That is splendid,00:22:25
but how do you intend
to get there, madam?00:22:28
What horses would you take?00:22:31
How do I know
what horses we shall have?00:22:34
Why, we have the carriage horses.00:22:37
The carriage horses!00:22:40
This is astonishing!00:22:44
I'm sorry...00:22:46
My dear madam, I have the greatest
respect for your talents,00:22:49
and would gladly sacrifice
ten years of my life for you,00:22:51
but I cannot let you have
any horses to-day.00:22:53
- By no account.
- But if I must go to town,00:22:55
- my dear sir?
- How splendid!00:23:00
You do not know, madam,
what it is to run a farm.00:23:03
We are hauling rye to-day.00:23:05
I beg your pardon,00:23:06
but you have crossed the limit.00:23:09
Then I shall go back
to Moscow this very day.00:23:11
Order a carriage for me
from the village,00:23:14
or I shall go
to the station on foot.00:23:16
I shall never set foot here again.00:23:23
Under these circumstances
I resign my position.00:23:26
You must find yourself
another manager.00:23:30
Take the yoke.00:23:33
Take this stuff away!00:23:35
Hurry up!00:23:39
It is like this every summer:00:23:44
every summer I am insulted here.00:23:47
We are leaving now!00:23:53
How could he refuse anything00:23:55
to Madame Arkadina?00:23:57
- Unbelievable!
- What can I do about it?00:23:59
What the deuce!00:24:02
How tiresome people are!00:24:05
I want all the horses
brought here00:24:07
at once!00:24:11
- Hey there!
- Let me help you.00:24:17
Hey there!00:24:25
Your husband deserves00:24:27
to be thrown out of here,00:24:30
but it will all end
by this old granny Sorin00:24:33
asking the man's pardon.00:24:40
I cannot endure his rough ways.00:24:42
If you only knew
how they excite me!00:24:45
He makes me feel ill.00:24:50
Eugene, my darling, my beloved,00:24:54
take me to you.00:24:56
Our time is short -
we are no longer young,00:24:59
let us end deception00:25:01
and concealment.00:25:08
I am fifty-five years old.00:25:10
Too late to change
my ways of living.00:25:14
I know there are other women00:25:15
who are near to you00:25:18
and you cannot take everybody.00:25:21
Of course you are a doctor
and cannot escape from women.00:25:30
How are things in there?00:25:33
Madame Arkadina is crying,00:25:37
and Sorin is having
an attack of asthma.00:25:39
Let us go and give them both
some valerian drops.00:26:10
I was base enough to-day
to kill this gull.00:26:12
I lay it at your feet.00:26:14
What is happening to you?00:26:16
So shall I soon end my own life.00:26:19
I fail to recognise you.00:26:21
I have changed00:26:23
since the time when I ceased
to recognise you.00:26:26
You have grown so irritable lately00:26:29
and you talk so darkly
and symbolically. This sea-gull...00:26:33
I am too simple to understand you.00:26:35
What is there to understand?00:26:38
All this began00:26:39
when my play failed so dismally.00:26:41
A woman never can forgive failure.00:26:43
Your estrangement
is to me terrible, incredible;00:26:45
it is as if I had suddenly waked00:26:47
to find this lake dried up.00:26:50
You disliked my play,00:26:53
you already think of me00:26:54
as commonplace and worthless.00:26:58
How well I can understand
your feelings.00:27:00
And that understanding00:27:02
is like a dagger in the brain,00:27:05
together with my stupidity,00:27:06
which sucks my life-blood00:27:08
like a snake!00:27:16
There comes real genius,00:27:19
like another Hamlet,
and with a book, too.00:27:22
"Words, words, words."00:27:24
You feel the warmth
of that sun already,00:27:27
you smile, your eyes glow liquid
in its rays.00:27:29
I shall not disturb you.00:27:53
- How do you do?
- How are you, Miss Nina?00:28:51
- Am I interrupting?
- Of course not.00:29:08
It seems that we are
leaving here today.00:29:12
Such a shame. I like it here.00:29:36
Boris! Boris!00:29:39
She is calling me,00:29:41
probably to come and pack,00:29:45
but I don't want
to leave this place.00:29:55
- What is that?
- A gull.00:29:58
Constantine shot it.00:30:00
What a lovely bird!00:30:03
Really, I can't bear to go away.00:30:12
Can't you persuade Irina to stay?00:30:24
What are you writing?00:30:26
An idea just occurred to me.00:30:30
An idea for a short story.00:30:34
A young girl grows up
on the shores of a lake,00:30:38
as you have.00:30:41
She loves the lake and is as happy
and free as a sea-gull.00:30:45
But a man comes00:30:47
and destroys her00:30:49
out of idleness,00:30:51
- as this gull here.
- Boris!00:30:54
I am coming this minute.00:31:03
We are not going away, after all.00:31:16
How strange to see00:31:18
a famous actress weeping,00:31:20
and for such a trifle!00:31:24
Is it not strange, too,00:31:26
that a famous author,00:31:28
his works have been translated00:31:30
into many foreign languages,00:31:33
and yet he is overjoyed00:31:34
if he catches a couple of minnows.00:32:41
I saw an inkpot on this window-sill...00:32:48
But it's not here.00:33:21
- What?
- Nothing.00:33:28
What is it like to be famous?00:33:32
What sensations does it give you?00:33:35
What sensations?00:33:37
I don't believe it gives any.00:33:40
Either you exaggerate my fame,
or else, if it exists, all I can say00:33:44
is that one simply doesn't
feel fame in any way.00:33:47
But when you read
about yourself in the papers?00:33:50
If the critics praise me,
I am happy.00:33:53
If they condemn me,
I feel out of sorts.00:33:56
Yours is a wonderful world.00:33:59
If you only knew how I envy you!00:34:05
Men are born to different destinies.00:34:07
Some dully drag a weary,
useless life behind them,00:34:12
to one out of a million, as to you,00:34:15
comes a bright destiny00:34:17
full of interest and meaning.00:34:21
Your life is beautiful.00:34:25
I see nothing especially
lovely about it.00:34:29
Excuse me, I must go at once,00:34:31
and begin writing again.00:34:34
You have stepped on my pet corn,
as they say,00:34:37
and I am getting excited,
and a little cross.00:34:43
On the other hand,00:34:45
let us talk.00:34:48
Let's discuss this bright
and beautiful life of mine.00:34:55
What shall we begin with?00:34:59
Violent obsessions sometimes
lay hold of a man:00:35:02
he may, for instance, think
day and night of the moon.00:35:05
I have such a moon.00:35:09
Day and night
I am held in the grip00:35:11
of one besetting thought,00:35:14
to write, write, write!00:35:18
Hardly have I
finished one book00:35:20
than something urges me
to write another,00:35:22
and so on.00:35:24
I write ceaselessly.
I am, as it were, on a treadmill.00:35:29
Do you see anything bright
and beautiful in that?00:35:32
You've been spoilt by your success.00:35:34
What success have I had?00:35:37
I have never
pleased myself as a writer,00:35:39
I do not like myself at all.00:35:41
I love this lake, these trees,
the blue heaven,00:35:44
and I am overcome00:35:47
by an uncontrollable
desire to write.00:35:50
But I am not only a painter
of landscapes,00:35:53
I love my country, too,
and her people.00:35:56
It is my duty of the writer
to speak of their sorrows,00:35:58
of their future.
So I write on every subject.00:36:00
And the public hounds me
on all sides,00:36:03
and I race and dodge like a fox
with a pack of hounds on his trail.00:36:06
I see00:36:07
life and knowledge
fleeting away before me.00:36:10
I am left behind them00:36:12
like a peasant who has missed
his train at a station,00:36:16
and finally I realize00:36:17
that all I am fit for
is to describe landscapes,00:36:20
and that whatever else I attempt00:36:22
rings abominably false.00:36:24
You work too hard00:36:27
to realise the importance
of your writings.00:36:35
For the bliss of being
a writer or an actress00:36:39
I could endure want,
and disillusionment,00:36:43
and the hatred of my friends,
and the pangs00:36:45
of my own dissatisfaction
with myself;00:36:50
but I should demand
in return fame,00:36:53
real, resounding fame!00:36:58
Whew! My head reels!00:39:31
Will you excuse me,00:39:34
I must go and attend
to my business.00:39:39
I must go, too.00:39:43
Sorry for not being able
to see you off.00:39:48
Good bye, my dear sir.00:39:52
I was delighted to meet you.00:39:57
Shall I pack things
into the grey box?00:40:00
- I'll manage myself.
- I'll help you.00:40:03
Semen Semenych...00:40:17
I'll go and get ready, too.00:40:31
I tell you honestly,00:40:34
I should not have lived
another day00:40:38
if he had wounded
himself fatally.00:40:42
I'm serious.00:40:49
Yet I am courageous:00:40:51
I have decided00:40:53
to tear this love of mine out
of my heart by the roots.00:40:56
How will you do it?00:40:58
By marrying Medvedenko.00:41:02
- The school-teacher?
- Yes.00:41:07
I don't see the necessity
for that.00:41:21
Don't look at me like this.00:41:23
Women drink oftener
than you imagine,00:41:26
but most of them do it in secret,00:41:29
and not openly, as I do.00:41:32
Yeah...00:41:33
They even drink vodka
or cognac, you know.00:41:38
To your good health!00:41:51
You are so easy to get on with
that I am sorry to see you go.00:41:55
- And I am sorry to leave.
- You should ask her to stay.00:42:01
She would not do that now.00:42:05
Her son has been behaving
outrageously.00:42:08
First he attempted suicide,00:42:10
and now he is going
to challenge me to a duel,00:42:13
but why on earth?00:42:16
He is sneering and preaching
about a new form of art,00:42:20
as if the field of art were
not large enough00:42:22
to accommodate both old and new00:42:24
without the necessity
of jostling.00:42:37
That schoolteacher of mine
is none too clever,00:42:41
but he is very good, poor man,00:42:44
and he loves me dearly,00:42:48
and I am sorry for him,00:42:51
and for his good old mother, too.00:42:57
However,00:43:01
let me say good-bye.00:43:04
Thanks for your goodwill.00:43:09
Send me your books,00:43:12
and be sure to write smth
in them, like:00:43:17
To Masha,00:43:19
who, forgetful of her origin,00:43:23
for some unknown reason00:43:25
is living in this world.00:43:28
Good-bye.00:43:41
Is it odd or even?00:43:44
Even.00:43:48
No, it is odd.00:43:51
I had only one pea in my hand.00:43:53
I wondered whether I was
to become an actress or not.00:44:00
If only someone would
advise me what to do!00:44:03
One cannot give advice
in a case like this.00:44:09
Perhaps we'll never
meet again.00:44:13
Accept this little medallion,
with your initials00:44:17
and the name of one
of your books engraved.00:44:27
How sweet of you!00:44:31
That's all.00:44:33
- Think of me sometimes.
- I shall never forget you.00:44:41
I shall always remember you00:44:43
as I saw you that bright day,00:44:48
a week ago,00:44:52
when you wore your light dress,00:44:54
and the white seagull
lay on the bench beside us.00:45:00
That's all, someone is coming.00:45:02
Let me see you alone
for two minutes before you go.00:45:06
Stay here at home,
you poor old man.00:45:09
How could you pay visits
with that rheumatism of yours?00:45:17
Who left the room just now,
was it Nina?00:45:20
- Yes.
- I am afraid we interrupted you.00:45:34
Page 121, lines 11 and 12.00:45:38
Shall I pack your fishing-rods,
too, sir?00:45:42
Yes, I shall need them00:45:44
but you can give the books away.00:45:51
Have we my books
here in the house?00:45:53
Yes, they are in my brother's library.00:46:07
Really, Peter, don't go anywhere.00:46:09
What would you do in town?00:46:14
Oh, nothing in particular,00:46:18
but somehow...00:46:20
They'll lay the corner-stone
of the new court-house.00:46:26
I should like to leap out
of this minnow-pond,00:46:30
if but for an hour or two!00:46:32
To feel like a normal
human being.00:46:35
Well...00:46:38
Don't be lonely,
and don't catch cold.00:46:41
Keep an eye on my boy.00:46:44
I don't even know
why Constantine shot himself,00:46:50
but I think it was out of jealousy,00:46:53
and the sooner I take
Trigorin away, the better.00:46:59
There were00:47:03
other reasons besides jealousy
for his act.00:47:08
Here is a clever young chap00:47:11
living in the depths of the country,00:47:14
without money or position,00:47:16
with no future ahead of him.00:47:19
He is a misery to me!00:47:21
He might possibly enter the army.00:47:23
You should
let him have a little money.00:47:30
He ought to be allowed
to dress like a human being.00:47:34
See how he looks!00:47:36
Wearing the same little old coat
for three years.00:47:42
And it wouldn't hurt him
to sow a few wild oats;00:47:45
let him go abroad, say, for a time.00:47:48
I think I might manage
about his clothes00:47:52
but I couldn't let him go abroad.00:47:55
And no,00:47:57
I can't let him have
his clothes even, now.00:48:02
I have no money at present.00:48:06
Of course, of course.00:48:10
Don't be angry.00:48:12
I have no money!00:48:15
I should let him have
some myself,00:48:17
but I haven't even a penny.00:48:21
The farm manager
takes my pension from me00:48:25
and puts it all into the farm,
and in that way it is lost for ever.00:48:29
The bees die, the cows die,
they never let me have a horse.00:48:33
Of course I have some money,
but my expenses for dress alone00:48:36
are enough to bankrupt me.00:48:40
Peter!00:48:42
Peter!00:48:44
Dearest!00:48:45
I am very fond of you...00:48:48
What?!00:48:50
Smth is the matter with me again.00:48:52
Help!00:48:54
Help!00:48:58
- He is fainting!
- Bring some water!00:49:00
He's fainting!00:49:03
These attacks are not dangerous,00:49:06
my uncle often has them now.00:49:09
You must go and lie down, Uncle.00:49:12
Yes, I think I shall,00:49:17
for a few minutes.00:49:25
I am going to Moscow00:49:27
all the same,00:49:32
but I shall lie down a bit00:49:35
before I start.00:49:47
Page 121,00:49:50
lines 11 and 12.00:49:57
11 and 12...00:50:02
"If at any time
you should have need of my life,00:50:06
come and take it."00:50:21
If at any time
you should have need of my life,00:50:25
come and take it."00:50:39
He gave me a dreadful fright.00:50:44
It is not good for him
to live in the country.00:50:46
It fills him with ennui...00:50:52
If you would only lend him00:50:54
a thousand roubles!00:50:56
He could then spend
a whole year in town.00:50:59
I have no money.
I am an actress and not a banker.00:51:05
Please change
my bandage for me, mother,00:51:07
you do it so gently.00:51:12
Sit down.00:51:29
You look
as if you had a turban on.00:51:34
A villager yesterday asked00:51:36
to what nationality you belonged.00:51:46
Your wound is almost healed.00:51:57
You won't try it again, will you,
when I am gone?00:52:01
No, mother.00:52:04
I did that in a moment
of insane despair.00:52:07
It will never happen again.00:52:14
Your touch is golden.00:52:17
I love you again, these last
few days, as I did as a child.00:52:21
I have no one left me now but you.00:52:26
Why do you let yourself
be controlled by that man?00:52:32
You don't understand him,
Constantine.00:52:35
- He has a noble personality.
- A noble personality indeed!00:52:40
Here we are
almost quarrelling over him,00:52:44
and he is probably in the garden00:52:46
laughing at us at this very moment,00:52:48
or else enlightening Nina's mind,00:52:50
trying to persuade her
into thinking him a man of genius.00:52:53
You enjoy saying
unpleasant things to me.00:52:56
- I respect him!
- But I don't!00:52:58
Don't speak ill
of him in my presence.00:53:00
You want me to think him a genius,00:53:03
but I refuse to lie:
his books make me sick.00:53:05
You envy him.00:53:07
People with no talent
always criticise00:53:09
those who are really gifted.00:53:11
Those who are really gifted,00:53:12
indeed!00:53:14
I am cleverer than any of you!00:53:17
You are the slaves of convention,00:53:18
you have seized the upper hand00:53:21
and now lay down as law
everything that you do,00:53:23
all else you strangle
and trample on!00:53:25
I hate such people!00:53:27
- It is the talk of a decadent.
- Go on00:53:30
playing your miserable
ditch-water plays!00:53:31
I never acted in a play
like that in my life!00:53:35
You couldn't write even
the trashiest farce,00:53:37
you idle good-for-nothing!00:53:40
- Miser!
- Rag-bag!00:53:45
You, Kievan bourgeois!00:53:57
You non-entity!00:54:09
Don't cry!00:54:14
You mustn't cry!00:54:16
You really mustn't.00:54:18
My darling child,00:54:20
don't cry.00:54:22
Forgive me.00:54:24
Forgive your wicked mother.00:54:27
I'm so sorry!00:54:29
I'm sorry...00:54:31
Oh, if you could only know00:54:33
what it is to have lost00:54:36
everything under heaven!00:54:39
She does not love me.00:54:41
I see I shall never
be able to write.00:54:43
- I can't.
- Don't despair.00:54:46
This will all pass.00:54:49
He is going away to-day,00:54:50
and she will love you once more.00:54:53
Stop crying.00:54:55
All right?00:54:56
We have made peace again.00:54:59
- Yes?
- Yes, mother.00:55:10
Make your peace with him, too.00:55:13
You surely won't fight?00:55:15
I won't,00:55:18
but you must not insist
on my seeing him again,00:55:21
I couldn't stand it.00:55:24
It's more than I can stand.00:55:31
I'm going.00:55:47
- Have you packed your things?
- Yes.00:55:52
The carriage will soon be here.00:56:03
Do let us stay!00:56:09
Please.00:56:23
I know, dearest,
what keeps you here.00:56:26
Be sober: your emotions
have intoxicated you a little.00:56:29
You're such a good woman.00:56:31
You are capable of self-sacrifice.00:56:33
- Be a friend to me, release me!
- Are you so much in love?00:56:36
I am irresistibly
impelled toward her.00:56:38
It may be that this is just
what I need.00:56:39
What, the love of a country girl?
How little you know yourself!00:56:44
I had no time for it
when I was young and struggling00:56:47
with want and laying siege
to the literary fortress,00:56:51
but now at last
this love has come to me.00:56:53
I see it beckoning -
why should I fly?00:56:55
You are mad!00:56:57
You have all conspired together
to torture me to-day.00:57:01
She doesn't understand me!00:57:04
She won't understand me!00:57:09
Look at me!00:57:11
Am I then so old and ugly already00:57:12
that you can talk to me like this
about another woman?00:57:15
Oh, you have lost your senses!00:57:17
I could never endure it00:57:18
should you desert me.00:57:20
- Some one might come in.
- So what!00:57:23
So what!00:57:24
You are mine, you are mine!00:57:27
This forehead is mine,
these eyes are mine,00:57:28
this silky hair is mine.00:57:31
You are so clever, so wise,00:57:33
the first of all living writers.00:57:35
Only I can appreciate you.00:57:37
Do you think00:57:39
I am not speaking the truth?00:57:40
I alone tell you the truth.00:57:43
Oh, my very dear,00:57:46
you will go with me?00:57:49
You will not forsake me?00:57:51
I have no will of my own;
I never had.00:57:54
I am too indolent, too submissive,
to have any.00:57:57
Is it possible that women like that?00:58:01
Take me away with you,00:58:03
but do not let me stir a step
from your side.00:58:19
But you must stay here, if you wish.00:58:24
I shall go,00:58:25
and you can follow
in a week's time.00:58:28
Yes, really,
why should you hurry away?00:58:30
Let us go together.00:58:32
As you like.00:58:34
Let us go together then.00:58:38
What are you writing?00:58:40
A happy expression
I heard this morning:00:58:43
"A grove of maiden pines."00:58:47
So we are really off again,00:58:50
condemned once more
to railway carriages,00:58:52
to stations and restaurants,
and endless arguments!01:00:04
- Come in!
- I am sorry to have to inform you01:00:08
that your carriage is at the door.01:00:10
It is time to start, honoured madam,01:00:12
the train leaves at two-five.01:00:13
- I've packed everything.
- Thank you.01:00:17
Would you inquire for me01:00:19
where Suzdaltzeff the actor is now?01:00:22
We both have had01:00:23
many a jolly time together.01:00:26
Madam,01:00:28
you still have five minutes.01:00:32
He was inimitable
in "The Stolen Mail".01:00:34
Used to be a remarkable personality.01:00:38
I'll be waiting outside.01:00:40
Here are some plums
for the journey.01:00:41
Very delicious.01:00:43
You are very kind, Polina.01:00:45
Good-bye.01:00:47
If we did you wrong,
please forgive us.01:00:51
It has been delightful, delightful.01:00:58
You mustn't cry.01:01:00
Our time is going away...01:01:04
It can't be helped...01:01:07
Your mother is leaving
and wants to say good bye to you.01:01:11
No, thank you, Jacob.01:01:14
We already said goodbye
to each other.01:01:18
I would gladly see you off
to the station.01:01:20
Come with me, then.01:01:22
This is your carriage, Madame.01:01:24
Peter, are you coming?01:01:26
I'll ride in the other carriage.01:01:28
Boris...01:01:31
Hurry up,01:01:33
ladies and gentlemen.01:01:35
- Your plums...
- Thank you.01:01:38
Send us a line to cheer us up.01:01:42
Good bye, sir...01:01:45
Don't be too long
at the railway station.01:01:49
- Godspeed to you.
- Good bye.01:01:51
I gave the cook a rouble01:01:53
for all three of you.01:02:27
I think I left my cane01:02:29
on the terrace.01:03:01
We are off.01:03:03
I knew we should meet again.01:03:05
Die is cast:
I am going on the stage.01:03:08
I am going, as you are, to Moscow.01:03:11
Go to the Hotel Slavianski Bazar.01:03:14
Let me know
as soon as you get there.01:04:42
They're being so long...01:04:44
It's raining,01:04:46
7 versts to get to the station.01:05:03
I think that old theatre
ought to be knocked down.01:05:07
It is still standing there,
naked and hideous as a skeleton.01:05:10
I heard a voice weeping in it01:05:13
as I passed there last night.01:05:15
What an idea!01:05:22
Come home with me, Masha.01:05:25
I shall spend the night here.01:05:27
Do come, Masha.
The baby must be hungry.01:05:31
Nonsense,
Matryona will feed it.01:05:35
It is a pity to leave him
three nights without his mother.01:05:40
You are getting too tiresome.01:05:43
You used sometimes to talk
of other things01:05:45
besides home and the baby,
home and the baby.01:05:49
You can go home if you want to.01:05:51
Your father won't give me a horse.01:05:54
Yes, he will, ask him.01:06:01
I think I shall.01:06:05
Are you coming home tomorrow?01:06:07
Yes, yes,01:06:09
tomorrow.01:06:32
Who is that for, mother?01:06:34
Mr. Sorin asked to sleep
in Constantine's room to-night.01:06:41
Let me make the bed.01:06:47
Old men are twice children.01:06:51
Well, I am going.01:06:57
Be off, in God's name!01:07:01
Good bye.01:07:04
- Good bye.
- Good night.01:07:13
You turned01:07:15
into a real author,
Constantine.01:07:19
The magazines pay you well
for your stories.01:07:23
You have grown handsome, too.01:07:28
Dear, kind Constantine,01:07:30
be a little nicer to my Masha.01:07:33
Leave him alone, mother.01:07:36
She is a sweet child.01:07:38
A woman asks only for kind looks.
I know that from experience.01:07:50
You have vexed him.01:07:53
I told you not to bother him.01:07:56
- I am sorry for you, Masha.
- Much I need your pity!01:08:00
My heart aches for you.
I see how things are.01:08:03
You see what doesn't exist.
Hopeless love only exists in books.01:08:07
My husband has been promised
a school in another district,01:08:11
so soon I shall forget it all.01:08:13
I shall tear my passion out
by the roots.01:08:16
I have six mouths to feed now,01:08:18
and flour is at 7 kopecks.01:08:20
What a riddle to solve.01:08:22
It is easy for you to say so.
You are a rich person.01:08:26
You think I am rich?01:08:28
My friend, after practising
for 30 years,01:08:31
during which I could not
call my soul my own01:08:34
for one minute
of the night or day,01:08:38
I succeeded in scraping together
2000 roubles,01:08:40
all of which went, not long ago,01:08:44
in a trip which I took abroad.01:08:45
- So you didn't go home?
- They won't give me a horse.01:08:49
- I hate the looks of you.
- Where is my sister?01:08:52
She has gone to the station01:08:55
to meet Trigorin.01:08:56
I must be dangerously ill01:08:59
if you had to send for my sister.01:09:02
Here I am dangerously ill,01:09:04
and you won't even give me
any medicine.01:09:07
What shall I prescribe for you?01:09:09
Valerian drops? Soda? Quinine?01:09:12
Don't inflict any of your discussions01:09:13
on me again.01:09:16
Is that bed for me?01:09:18
- Yes, for you, sir.
- Thank you.01:09:20
The moon swims01:09:23
in the sky to-night.01:09:26
I am going to give Constantine01:09:29
an idea for a story.01:09:31
It shall be called01:09:34
"The Man Who Wished".01:09:41
When I was young,01:09:43
I wished to become an author -01:09:46
I failed.01:09:49
I wished to be an orator -01:09:51
I speak abominably.01:09:54
I wished to marry,01:09:56
and I didn't.01:09:59
I wished01:10:03
to live in the city,01:10:06
and here I am ending my days01:10:10
in the country,01:10:12
and all.01:10:14
You wished to become
State Councillor -01:10:16
and you are one!01:10:19
I didn't try for that,
it came of its own accord.01:10:21
Come, you must admit
that it is petty01:10:24
to cavil at life at 67 years of age.01:10:27
Can't you see I want to live?01:10:31
Every life shall come to an end.01:10:35
You speak like a man
who is satiated with life.01:10:39
But even you dread death.01:10:47
Oh, flowers,
convey my love message...01:10:51
- Are we disturbing?
- No matter.01:10:54
Tell me, Doctor,01:10:56
which of foreign cities
did you like the best?01:11:00
- Genoa.
- Why Genoa?01:11:04
Because there is such a splendid
crowd in its streets.01:11:09
You move with it01:11:11
without aim or object,01:11:13
and you begin to believe at last01:11:15
in a great world spirit,01:11:17
like the one in your play01:11:20
that Nina acted.01:11:25
By the way,01:11:26
where is Nina now?01:11:28
Is she well?01:11:31
I believe so.01:11:34
I hear she has led
rather a strange life -01:11:40
what happened?01:11:43
It is a long story, Doctor.01:11:46
Tell it shortly.01:11:51
She ran away from home
and joined Trigorin.01:11:54
But you know that.01:11:56
I know...01:11:58
She had a child01:12:01
that died.01:12:05
Trigorin soon tired of her01:12:07
and returned to his former ties.01:12:10
He had never broken them, indeed,01:12:13
but out of weakness of character01:12:15
had always vacillated
between the two.01:12:19
As far as I know,01:12:21
Nina's domestic life01:12:23
has not been
altogether a success.01:12:25
What about her acting?01:12:29
She made
an even worse failure of that.01:12:32
She was a beautiful girl.01:12:35
What?01:12:38
She was a beautiful girl.01:12:42
Even the State Councillor himself01:12:47
was in love with her01:12:49
for a time.01:12:52
You old Lovelace, you!01:13:02
- He's being late.
- Let us not lose time.01:13:07
Dinner will be served soon.01:13:08
Pray, sit down.01:13:22
- They have arrived.
- Yes, I can hear mother's voice.01:13:27
Boris is here.01:13:30
It's so warm here...01:13:33
We all grow old and wither,01:13:36
and only you keep the secret01:13:38
- of eternal youth.
- Don't you jinx me,01:13:41
you tiresome old man.01:13:43
How do you do, Peter?
Still ill? Too bad.01:13:50
Your mother says
you have forgotten the past.01:13:54
Boris has brought a magazine
with your latest story in it.01:13:59
Many thanks.01:14:01
Everyone in Moscow
and St. Petersburg01:14:03
ply me with questions about you.01:14:05
They all think that you are
no longer young.01:14:09
You are as great a mystery01:14:11
as the Man in the Iron Mask.01:14:14
Do you expect to be here long?01:14:15
No, I must go back
to Moscow tomorrow.01:14:17
I am finishing another novel.01:14:19
In fact,
it is the same old business.01:14:24
How do you do, Masha.01:14:27
Oh, you recognized me?01:14:29
So, you're married?01:14:31
Yes, quite for a while already.01:14:32
Are you happy?01:14:35
We're going to play lotto.01:14:38
Don't you want to take
a hand with us01:14:39
- until supper time?
- Sit down, my friends.01:14:42
Sit down.01:14:43
- I shall go on foot, Masha.
- On foot in this weather?01:14:46
It is only six miles.
Good-bye, mother.01:14:50
Good night, gentlemen.01:14:52
I don't want to be a nuisance,
but I must go to our child.01:14:54
Good night.01:15:11
He has read his own story,01:15:12
and hasn't even cut the pages of mine.01:15:19
"The placard cried it
from the wall...01:15:24
a pale face
in a frame of dusky hair..."01:15:33
Cried...01:15:34
...a frame...01:15:37
That is stupid.01:15:41
I can feel I'm gradually slipping
into the beaten track.01:15:46
Descriptions are so easy
for Trigorin:01:15:48
the neck of a broken bottle01:15:50
lying on the bank
glitter in the moonlight,01:15:53
the shadows lie black
under the mill-wheel...01:15:56
There you have a moonlight
night before your eyes.01:15:59
But I speak
of the shimmering light,01:16:01
the twinkling stars,01:16:05
the distant sounds of a piano...01:16:10
And the result is abominable.01:16:13
You know, Doctor:01:16:17
I'm beginning to realize
that good literature01:16:21
is not a question
of forms new or old,01:16:25
but of ideas01:16:29
that pour freely
from the author's heart,01:16:32
when he writes01:16:35
without his bothering his head01:16:37
about any forms whatsoever.01:16:42
Doctor!01:16:44
Constantine!01:16:45
- Let's go.
- I'm not in the mood.01:16:49
I'll stay here and have
some reading.01:17:00
When the long autumn evenings
descend on us01:17:03
we while away the time here
by playing lotto.01:17:07
We used this old set01:17:09
when our mother01:17:11
played with us as children.01:17:16
It is a monotonous game,01:17:18
but it is all right
when one gets used to it.01:17:22
The stake - 10 kopecks.01:17:25
Will you do it for me, please...01:17:28
Yes.01:17:31
I shall begin.01:17:35
- 31...
- Yes...01:17:38
32...01:17:43
86...01:17:44
81...01:17:47
Don't go so fast.01:17:49
74...01:17:53
- 33...
- I am still dazed by the reception01:17:57
- 51...
- they gave me in Kharkof.01:18:01
34...01:18:04
The students gave me an ovation,01:18:06
27...01:18:08
they sent me 3 baskets of flowers.01:18:11
30...01:18:12
Here you go...01:18:15
58...01:18:17
I wore a magnificent dress.01:18:20
22...01:18:24
- Where is Constantine?
- 38...01:18:27
Constantine!01:18:30
77...01:18:33
He has been severely
criticised in the papers.01:18:35
59...01:18:37
Why should anyone bother!01:18:40
- 36...
- He is not lucky, you know,01:18:44
he can't somehow strike01:18:46
- the right note.
- 44...01:18:49
He has never created
a single living character.01:18:52
65...01:18:54
- 44?
- Yes.01:18:58
87...01:19:00
Are you bored, Peter?01:19:03
13...01:19:05
- He is asleep.
- The Councillor01:19:07
- is taking a nap.
- 67...01:19:11
I have great faith in Constantine.01:19:13
- 21...
- I know there is something in him.01:19:19
- 3...
- He thinks in images,01:19:22
his stories are vivid
and full of colour.01:19:25
79...01:19:27
It is only a pity01:19:29
- that he has no definite object in view.
- 24...01:19:38
- 12...
- Are you glad, madam,01:19:40
that you have an author for a son?01:19:42
89...01:19:44
I have never read anything of his.01:19:47
I never have time.01:19:49
- 62...
- I'm so bad.01:19:52
72...01:19:55
7...01:19:57
10...01:19:59
1...01:20:48
Who is there?01:21:01
Nina, Nina! It is you, you!01:21:04
I felt you would come!01:21:06
Oh, my darling, my dearest one!01:21:08
- Do come in.
- There is some one here.01:21:11
No one is here.01:21:32
- Lock the door.
- No one will come in.01:21:35
I know your mother is here.
Lock the door.01:21:42
There is no lock on that one.
But no one shall come in.01:21:56
Let me look at you.01:22:00
It is warm and comfortable in here.01:22:10
- Have I changed much?
- Yes, you have grown thinner,01:22:15
and your eyes are larger
than they were.01:22:19
Nina, it seems so strange
to see you!01:22:21
Why didn't you
let me go to you?01:22:25
You have been here nearly
a week - I know.01:22:27
I have been several times
to where you live.01:22:35
I was afraid you might hate me.01:22:39
I dream every night01:22:40
that you look at me
without recognising me.01:22:45
Oh, if you could only know...01:22:50
I have been wandering
about on the shores of the lake.01:22:54
I have often been near
your house.01:22:56
Let us sit down.01:23:08
Let us sit down
and talk our hearts out.01:23:13
It is so quiet01:23:16
and warm in here.01:23:19
Do you hear
the wind whistling outside?01:23:23
As Turgenieff says,01:23:26
Happy is he01:23:29
who can sit at night01:23:33
under the roof of his home...01:23:37
I am a seagull...01:23:43
And yet... No...01:23:47
What was I saying?01:23:54
Oh, yes, Turgenieff. He says,01:23:59
"and God help01:24:02
all houseless wanderers".01:24:08
You are crying again, Nina!01:24:12
It is all right.
I shall feel better after this.01:24:20
So you are an author now,
and I am an actress.01:24:25
We have both been sucked
into the whirlpool.01:24:30
My life used to be as happy
as a child's,01:24:33
I loved you and dreamt of fame,01:24:38
and what is the reality?01:24:43
Tomorrow morning
I must start for Eletz01:24:44
by train in a 3rd-class carriage,01:24:48
and at Eletz the merchants
will pursue me with compliments01:24:52
It is a rough life.01:24:55
Why are you going to Eletz?01:24:57
I have accepted an engagement
there for the winter.01:25:00
- I have to go.
- I hated you,01:25:02
I have torn up your letters,01:25:04
and yet I have known
that my heart and soul01:25:07
were yours for ever.01:25:10
From the time I lost you
and began to write,01:25:13
my youth was suddenly
plucked from me then,01:25:16
and I seem now to have lived
in this world for 90 years.01:25:19
I have kissed the ground
you walked on,01:25:22
wherever I looked I have seen
your face before my eyes,01:25:25
and the smile01:25:27
that had illumined
the best years of my life.01:25:29
Why, why does he
talk to me like this?01:25:31
I am quite alone,
unwarmed by any attachment.01:25:34
I am as cold
as if I were living in a cave.01:25:36
Whatever I write
is dry and gloomy and harsh.01:25:39
Stay here, Nina,
I beseech you,01:25:43
or else let me go away with you.01:25:51
Nina, why do you do that?01:26:04
Let me have some water.01:26:32
Why do you say01:26:34
that you have kissed the ground
I walked on?01:26:36
You should kill me rather.01:26:41
I am so tired.01:26:45
If I could only rest...01:26:48
Rest...01:26:52
I am a seagull...01:26:55
No... No...01:26:57
I am an actress.01:27:15
He is there too.01:27:18
He used to laugh at my dreams
about the theatre,01:27:22
so that little by little
I gave up my dreams,01:27:24
I became down-hearted.01:27:26
Then came all the cares of love,01:27:28
the continual anxiety
about my little one,01:27:30
so that I soon grew trivial
and spiritless.01:27:34
You cannot imagine the state of mind01:27:36
of one who knows how
terribly badly he is acting.01:27:42
Then my little daughter died...01:27:47
That is an idea
for a short story...01:27:53
What was I saying?01:27:55
Oh, yes,01:27:57
the stage.01:28:01
I have changed now.01:28:04
Now I am a real actress.01:28:06
I act with joy, with exaltation,
and feel that I am superb.01:28:12
I feel the strength of my spirit
growing in me every day.01:28:16
I understand at last,
that for us,01:28:18
whether we write or act,01:28:22
it is not the honour and glory
that is important,01:28:25
it is the strength to endure.01:28:28
One must know
how to bear one's cross,01:28:31
and one must have faith.01:28:33
I believe,01:28:35
and so do not suffer so much,01:28:39
and when I think of my calling01:28:42
I do not fear life.01:28:46
You have found your way,01:28:50
you know where you are going,01:28:55
but I am still groping
in a chaos of phantoms and dreams,01:28:58
not knowing the sense of all this.01:29:03
I do not believe in anything,01:29:06
and I do not know
what my calling is.01:29:15
I must go.01:29:21
Good-bye, Constantine.01:29:33
When I have become a famous actress
you must come and see me.01:29:37
Will you promise to come?01:29:40
I can hardly stand.01:29:42
I am fainting. I am hungry.01:29:44
Stay, and let me bring you
some supper.01:29:58
No, no, I can find the way alone.01:30:08
So she brought him back with her?01:30:12
However, what difference
can that make to me.01:30:16
Don't tell Trigorin anything
when you see him.01:30:21
I love him.01:30:23
I love him even more than I used to.01:30:26
It is an idea for a short story.01:30:29
I love him to despair.01:30:34
How pleasant the old times were!01:30:36
Do you remember?01:30:38
What a gay, bright, gentle,
pure life we led?01:30:43
How a feeling01:30:45
as sweet and tender as a flower
blossomed in our hearts?01:30:49
Do you remember,01:30:54
"All men and beasts, lions,01:30:56
eagles, and quails,01:30:58
horned stags, geese, spiders,01:31:01
silent fish that inhabit the waves,01:31:04
starfish from the sea..."01:31:10
Farewell, Constantine...01:31:39
35...01:31:43
80...01:31:46
3...01:31:49
7...01:31:52
88...01:31:55
Mine is filled in!01:31:58
- But...
- Bravo!01:31:59
This man is always lucky.01:32:02
And now let us have some supper,01:32:05
our Mister Celebrity is hungry.01:32:07
And then we can go on
with our game.01:32:15
What was that?01:32:18
Probably one of my medicine bottles
has blown up.01:32:22
Don't worry. I'll go and check out.01:32:45
It is as I thought,01:32:47
a flask of ether has exploded.01:32:51
Spellbound once more01:32:53
I stand before thee.01:33:00
Heavens! I was really frightened.01:33:03
That noise reminded me of...01:33:05
Everything is black before my eyes.01:33:08
Let's have some supper.01:33:11
Put the claret and the beer here,
on the table.01:33:15
Mr. Trigorin!01:33:17
There was an article
from America in this magazine01:33:21
about two months ago01:33:25
that I wanted to ask you about,01:33:27
I am very much interested
in this question.01:33:34
You must take Madame Arkadina
away from here...01:33:38
What I wanted to say was,
that Constantine has shot himself.01:33:59
