:58:04
But what am I accused of?
Am I not a good citizen?

:58:08
I pay my taxes,
though God knows they're high.

:58:12
I respect the authorities.
:58:14
Kostylyov, this is not my doing.
:58:16
I just came to give you
a friendly warning.

:58:19
Someone high up
has their eye on you.

:58:22
I can't risk my position.
:58:28
Can't we work something out?
:58:51
If it's a question of money,
:58:54
in spite of my poverty,
I could make a sacrifice.

:58:57
It's a touchy situation.
:58:59
You're in a bind,
and I don't want to be dragged into it.

:59:03
It's so hot today!
:59:07
May I offer you some tea?
:59:09
Please don't bother.
:59:12
I insist. I’ll call Natasha.
:59:16
She makes wonderful tea.
:59:19
Excellent idea.
:59:21
But is your sister really here?
I thought she was out.

:59:24
Oh, no. She just -
:59:28
We'll have someone call her.
:59:31
A little woman like her
is just what I need.

:59:33
A sweet and lively housewife.
:59:37
It's simple, lnspector.
She does everything here.

:59:41
A hard worker,
inexpensive, easy to feed.

:59:43
She's full of virtues.
:59:45
All that and a pretty face, too.
That never hurts.

:59:50
The truth is,
she's healthy and well-built.

:59:54
With all the work in this house,
:59:58
I don't know what we'd do
without her.
