So, he kept his word.
Come in, gentlemen.
But, my dear?!
Do you think
she has gone mad?
Not in the allegoric, but
in the medical sense.
This a 100 thousand roubles.
ln this dirty parcel.
He was bargaining for me.
Started at 18,
then jumped to 40,
and now -these 100!
He's kept his word.
Look, he is so pale!
- Nastasia Philipovna!
- lt's indecent or what?
Nonsense!
As if l've been sitting
virtuously at the theatre?
A statue of
inaccessible virtue?
What a silly little
idiot l was!
And this man put down
a 100 thousand on the table!
After 5 years of innocence!
He must have his troika
sledge waiting for me.
He values me at a 100 thousand.
Dear soul, calm down,
please!
You' never go with this
fellow, in spite of his money!
Take his money,
and kick him out.
That's the way
to treat him!
Don't be cross,
Daria Alexeyevna,
l don't know
what has come over me,
why l wanted to enter
an honest family like this.
Gania, you're still
angry with me.
Surely you never wished
to take me into your family,
me, Rogojin's mistress?
l came and stirred up
all this fuss,
just to see how much
you could swallow.
Surely you could never
marry me?
A woman, who accepts
jewelry from your general
just before she marries.
And Rogojin?
He bargained for me
in your house!
And you came to ask for my hand!
Surely what Rogojin said
about you must be true:
that you'd crawl on your hands
and knees for 3 roubles.
He would.
lf you were dying of hunger -
then l'd understand.
But they say you get
a good salary.
And you wanted to take a wife
you hate into your family.
You must hate me.
l know it.
You're so shameless!
l'm shameless,
and you're even worse!
ls it really you?
Once so refined,
and delicate of speech.
What language! How dreadful!
General, l'm
intoxicated!
l'm having a day out!
lt's my birthday,
my special day!
l been waiting for it so long!
Daria Alexeyevna, do you see
that man over there?
Monsieur aux Camellias,
who's laughing
at us.
l'm not laughing, but
listening quite attentively.
Why have l tortured him
for 5 years?
Was he worth it?
He's only
what he ought to be.
He thinks l'm to blame,
too:
he gave me an education,
kept me like a countess.
And all the money he spent!
Found me a husband.
And what do you think?
These 5 years l didn't live
with him, but took his money.
And considered it justified.
l was completely
lost.
You say: take the 100
thousand,
and kick the man out.
lt's an awful business.
l might have married long
ago, and not to Gania.
lt would've been awful, too.
Would you believe it,
four years ago l wanted
to marry my Afanasy
lvanovich!
l would have had him!
He's quite weak,
he can't help it.
And then, thank God,
l thought:
is he worth taking
advantage of?
l felt so awful,
had he asked me to marry him,
l wouldn't have done it.
No, it's betterto go on
the streets, where l should be.
Or take Rogojin, or become
a washerwoman!
l'll go away, leave everything,
to the last rag,
who'd have me
without anything?
Ask Gania, would he?
Even Ferdishenko wouldn't
have me!
Perhaps, l wouldn't,
l'm a candid fellow.
But the prince would.
See how he's looking at you!
ls that true?
Quite true.
Take me as l am,
with nothing?
l will, Nastasia Philipovna.
Here's a pretty business!
He does it from the pure
kindness of his heart.
What a benefactor!
But perhaps, what they say
is true: he's not quite?
And what will you live on,
if you take Rogojin's mistress?
l take you as an honest person,
not as Rogojin's mistress.
Who? Me? Honest?
Yes, you.
You get these ideas from novels!
That's all nonsense,
dear,
times have changed now.
How can you marry,
when you yourself need
a nurse, not a wife.
l know nothing, l have
seen nothing, you're right.
But l believe you'd be
honoring me, not l you.
l'm no one, and you've suffered,
you've passed through hell
and come out so pure.
Why do you shame yourself by
going
