-It's made of silver and treated oak.
-It's not the throne.
1:07:06
I'm very worried.
1:07:09
See that velour from Lyons.
It's completely worn out.
1:07:13
-We'II restore it. Be patient.
-You don't have the time.
1:07:16
You're right, Boris.
We don't have time either.
1:07:21
You won't ever see him again.
1:07:25
Speak!
1:07:27
He's your son.
1:07:31
What difficulty are they having?
They seem uncomfortable with each other,
1:07:37
What do you expect?
1:07:40
You descend from the heavens...
1:07:42
and no Ionger know how to behave.
1:07:46
Your son is Hermitage director.
1:07:50
Like you and I before him.
1:07:52
The wars ahead.... Terrible wars.
1:07:54
But we managed to preserve all this
through the catastrophes.
1:07:58
I can't hear anymore.
1:08:01
And you?
1:08:02
Yes, I hear, But not very clearly,
1:08:06
What are they saying?
1:08:09
The elder Piotrovsky is asking,,,
1:08:13
whether the director's telephone is
still under surveillance,
1:08:17
His son tells him, "Forget that,
1:08:20
"I would prefer telling you
about the Hermitage cats,
1:08:25
"They are still here,,,, "
1:08:32
There are so many people
that I wasn't able to help.
1:08:34
Ten years have passed.
You know what I'm referring to.
1:08:40
But everyone speaks well of you.
1:08:42
Your books are still in print.
Those of Mr. Orbeli, too.
1:08:46
That's particularly admirable.
1:08:48
The dead weep with joy when their books
are reprinted.
1:08:51
Especially 37 years Iater, Mikhail.
1:08:55
Is something still troubling you?
1:08:59
Is it the authorities?
