:52:01
I am one of the most june people
in all of the Russias.
:52:04
I have lvan's old pistol.
:52:06
Sonja!
Political assassination doesn't work.
:52:09
Violence leads to violence. He who
lives by the sword dies by the sword.
:52:12
Well, I'm out of clichés now.
:52:14
- Are you suggesting passive resistance?
- No, I'm suggesting active fleeing.
:52:19
- You can't run away all your life.
- I know, but murder.
:52:22
The most foul of all crimes.
:52:24
And not abstract murder like shooting
an unknown enemy on the battlefield,
:52:28
but standing in a closed room
with a live human being
:52:31
and pulling the trigger, face to face.
:52:34
And a famous human being, a successful
one, one who earns more than I do.
:52:38
My God, you figure Napoleon has gotta
be good for 10,000 francs a week.
:52:42
That's minimum. That's without tips
or extras. Nothing like that.
:52:46
And me, what am l? He's a great man.
:52:50
He thinks like the superman
and I'm just a worm,
:52:53
an insect, some kind of crawling,
disgusting, creeping little vermin.
:53:00
- You know, you can stop me.
- I will when I disagree.
:53:04
Sonja. Who are we to kill somebody?
:53:06
Boris, for the first time in my life
I feel free. Weightless.
:53:10
I have an exhilarating feeling
of human freedom.
:53:14
It's called the guillotine.
:53:15
Oh, look, Boris.
:53:17
The soft golden dusk is
already transmogrifying itself
:53:21
into the blue star-sprinkled night.
:53:24
Careful, cos that gun may be loaded.
:53:27
Several days later
we set out forMoscow.
:53:30
We took Berdykov with us partway.
He was on his way to Minsk.
:53:33
There was a village idiots' convention in
Minsk. Berdykov was planning to attend.
:53:38
Village idiots from all overRussia
were meeting there.
:53:50
We drove through
small villages and tiny hamlets.
:53:53
We had no greatplan, but when we
stopped at an inn, fate provided one.
