spoiled her.
I say!
No one can build a
mansion better than us.
Who could paint like that?
Look at the carving.
Only Mitiai can do this
directly, without tracing.
It's like a bird singing.
Look. Maybe it is like a bird singing.
I don't care. I can sleep on the
hay. You are the Grand Prince.
Don't you like it?
I'll tell you this. It
should be repainted.
Walls, ceiling, everything:
brighter, stronger colors.
I've been in this trade for forty years.
It's not the years that matter...
...but your ability to glorify the
Grand Prince with your work.
That's enough. Go.
We won't redo anything.
It's time to go. We have another job.
They are waiting for us in Z venigorod.
Where?
At your brother's. They
have the stone already.
A beautiful stone. Whiter than this.
When your brother came at Easter...
...we made a deal and he said: " Do
what you like, whatever the cost.
" I'll tax the peasants more, just
build me the best mansion possible."
Then go to Z venigorod.
Here, I have brought it.
When I looked at the
Prince, he became numb.
- When I mentioned Z venigorod?
- Yes, he became paralyzed.
He fears his brother will outshine him.
- Who carved that?
- I did.
Why didn't you set it in the wall?
It didn't come out right.
Pity; it's rather good.
Everything crumbles: I told the Prince
to spare no expense on the stone.
Maybe now he's sorry when
he heard about Z venigorod.
I could have carved
beautiful things for him.
Come on, you ass!
Where's Stepan?
Where did Stepan gallop to?
He went to Z venigorod
with the others.
I've dirtied my hands.
We'll build another mansion just
as good for the Prince's brother.
Will the stone be better there?
Yes, it will.
Look, the Captain of the Guard.
Hold on, old man.
You, ass! Help him! In the bushes!
Where's my whip?
Has anyone seen my whip?
Damn. I've lost it. Have
you seen my whip, ass?
- Seryoga.
- What?
Read the Scriptures.
From where?
From wherever you like.
