:15:01
- It's always completely different.
- Before I met her...
:15:03
life was sad...
:15:05
meaningless, hopeless.
:15:08
You're over 30.
By the time a man's over 30...
:15:11
life should be sad,
meaningless and hopeless.
:15:14
- Father.
- All right, all right!
:15:17
Let's be reasonable.
:15:20
- Her family is nothing.
- Now, Father...
:15:23
Nothing compared
to the Bolkonskys. Nothing.
:15:25
Her father is well known
as a man who used to chase...
:15:28
every woman in Moscow
and St. Petersburg...
:15:31
without success.
:15:34
Now that he's grown older...
:15:36
he's well known as a man
who plays in every card game...
:15:38
in Moscow and St. Petersburg,
equally without success.
:15:43
They're a happy
and delightful family.
:15:45
That's a success too.
Perhaps the greatest success.
:15:50
But do you think you're
being fair to the girl?
:15:54
You're much older than she.
:15:56
You have a son to bring up.
:15:58
Who's going to take
the responsibility?
:16:00
A little chit of a girl?
:16:04
I beg of you,
put it off for just one year...
:16:08
and go abroad.
:16:09
There's this peace mission
to Prussia.
:16:12
The czar and the emperor Napoleon.
:16:14
They'll be signing
a treaty there.
:16:16
I know you wanted to go
on the mission.
:16:20
Now, after one year,
if you still have this love...
:16:23
or obstinacy, passion, whatever
you choose to call it, marry her.
:16:26
That is my last word
on the subject.
:16:28
It's my last word.
:16:43
Is it possible
that I, Natasha...
:16:45
am to be the wife of this strange,
dear, clever man...
:16:50
whom even my father looks up to?
:16:52
Can it be true?
:16:54
Can it be true that there can be
no more playing with life...
:16:57
that now I am grown up,
that on me now lies...
