:07:01
about a demonstration of table
rapping and spiritualism she attended.
:07:06
Oh, that would be fascinating.
:07:08
I've never seen anything
supernatural.
:07:09
Do you believe in spirits,
Constantine Dmitrich?
:07:12
Why'd you ask me that? You know
perfectly well what my answer will be.
:07:15
But I want to hear you opinion.
:07:17
My opinion's that table rapping
merely proves
:07:20
that the so-called educated classes
are no better than the peasants.
:07:22
They, too, believe in the evil eyes
and spirits.
:07:24
But I've witnessed it myself.
:07:26
But don't you think
there's something in it?
:07:30
If we admit to the existence
of electricity
:07:34
of which we know nothing,
:07:37
Why shouldn't there exist
some new forces yet unknown to us?
:07:40
Because with electricity when
you rub wool and resin together,
:07:42
you invariably produce a
recognizable phenomenon.
:07:46
But with this hocus-pocus...
:07:50
Suppose we try now.
:07:52
Do let us try,
Princess Kitty.
:08:16
Ah, Stiva.
:08:18
Who are you meeting?
:08:19
My mother.
:08:22
-You were missed last night.
-Where?
:08:24
The Chateau des Fleurs,
of course.
:08:27
My God, there was this wonderful
little girl doing the cancan.
:08:32
I went home. I felt in such an agreeable
frame of mind when I left the Scherbatskys',
:08:36
I didn't want to go
anywhere else.
:08:38
"By the mark of your steed, I can
tell your fine breed
:08:41
and a young man
in love by his eyes."
:08:45
-And who are you meeting?
-I've come to meet a pretty woman.
:08:48
-Oh, indeed.
-Shame on you.
:08:50
My sister Anna.
:08:52
Karenin's wife?
:08:55
Yes, well, you must know her.
:08:57
I don't think so. I know Karenin
by sight and by repute.
