Part One
'Happy families are all alike.
Every unhappy family
is unhappy in its own way...'
It's good... Very good!
Oh, God!
A telegram for you, sir.
How's Darya Alexandrovna?
She instructed me to tell you
that she is leaving
and that he can... that is you, sir,
can do as you like.
Anna Arkadyevna will be here
tomorrow.
Thank God!
Alone or with her husband?
Alone. Shall I get the room ready
upstairs?
Ask Darya Alexandrovna.
Do as she orders.
So what should we do, Matvey?
Oh, well, we'II wait and see.
Help me dress now.
It's six o'clock
and the children are unfed.
All they had was yesterday's broth.
- Send someone for milk.
- Whom shall I send?
The chef left yesterday,
and the cook's packing,
she wants to be paid off today.
Everything in the house
is topsy-turvy.
Leave me alone!
Go to her, sir. Ask her to forgive
you. She will come round.
- What?
- I say she will come round.
You think so?
Now why should this happen to me?
As you make your bed,
so must you lie in it...
It's terrible.
- Dolly!
- What do you want?
Dolly... Anna is coming tomorrow.
Well, what is that to me?
I can't receive her.
Oh, but you must, Dolly.
Go away!
Dolly...
What can I say?
Only one thing: forgive me.
Go away.
Cannot nine years of our life together
atone for an instant of
infatuation?
Don't talk to me about such filth.
Dolly, for God's sake, think of
the children! It's not their fault.
Punish me. Yes, punish me.
I can't find words to express
how guilty I feel.
Forgive me, Dolly!
Please, forgive me.
I do think of the children.
I would do anything to save them.
Tell me, after what has happened,
can we go on living together?
After my husband,
the father of my children,
had a love affair
with his children's governess?
What can I do?
What can I do?
You are loathsome, repulsive.
Your tears mean nothing.
You have never loved me.
You are disgusting!
A perfect stranger!
It's awful. One word more...
If you come near me,
I will call everybody and
let them know you're a scoundrel!
l'm leaving now.
And you may live here
with your mistress.
MOSCOW
A councilman, a landowner,
a gymnast, Grinevich.
A cattle-breeder, a sportsman and my
friend, Konstantin Dmitrievich Lyovin.
May I see you alone for a minute?
Excuse me.
Wait for me here.
My wife is ill.
I cannot invite you.
I only wish to say a few words to you.
All right. L'm meeting my sister
Anna from Petersburg.
How are the Shcherbatskys?
The same as ever?
Well, yes...
They're all right.
It's a shame that you hardly come
to Moscow.
- Why?
- Oh, nothing.
Where are you staying?
I don't know yet.
You haven't answered my question.
How is Kitty?
I always know a fine steed by
dum de dum... of his breed,
and a lovesick knight
by something in his stride.
- So that's why you came to town!
- Ah, then you've guessed.
What do you think of my chances?
Who? Me?
I could hope for nothing better.
You think it's possible?
Of course. Why not?
If you wish to see them,
go to the skating-rink.
Kitty skates there
from four to five.
You'II surely see her there.
l'II come and fetch you.
Vronsky! Your Excellency!
How are you? Whom are you meeting?
- Do you know him?
- Yes, we have met.
