proved to be decisive. Thus, Felix Alexandrovich, did you finally make a decision? Perhaps immortality is not so bad, I don't know. But in this company fits only to wash deceased bodies. But death is still worse? I have impression, Felix Alexandrovich, that from entire our company I cause smallest aversion in you. Did I guess? - Well, may be. - I thank you. For this very reason I decided to talk with you in private, so that these loathsome physiognomes would not loom here. May I sit down? Please! Thanks. You are amiable. Thus, Felix Alexandrovich, I am 500 years old. During this time you compulsorily get rid of the different chimeras: love, friendship. I am indifferent, cold, if it is possible to say, cruel person. I will not pretend, we all are such. But in contrast to my companions, I have in this world something, that cannot be either gorged, or hugged, or pushed under the back. During my life I made 107 discoveries and inventions. I isolated phosphorus 50 years earlier than Brandt. I discovered chromatography 20 years earlier than the Tsvet. I developed periodic system approximately at the same time, than Dimitry Ivanovich. But for clear reasons I have to keep that all secret, otherwise my name had long ago thundered in the history. Entire my life I am occupied by the synthesizing of elixer. I am tired of sitting in the underground and be scared by each gendarme. I am tired to be number 0, I want to be number 1. But I haven't on whom to lean, I need assistant. The intelligent companion, who can estimate the beauty of thought. I don't understand chemistry. I understand. I got tired to be alone. Until now, immortals were created by the Fate, but with your help, I will start to create them. Agree, Felix Alexandrovich. What does disturb you? A price? That's trifle, nowhere is said, that you must remove him yourself. I will manage it without you. I you will put me into the boots of that killed? Kurdyukov has lived 650 years and only he made all this time, that he gorged, drank, he spoiled young, robbed and killed. And he will flutter from the flower to the flower another 600 years without any benefit. You are proposed by the most immense purpose, but you consider. What about? Neither you nor I have a right to decide, who has to live, and who has to die. It's so difficult with you. I did not expect. I had better opinion about you. Well, however... When usual insignificant little fellow finds immortality, by the will of Fate, then the trait of his nature, which prevailed in the beginning of his life, becomes only one. Yes, Felix Alexandrovich, excuse me, but only such unpretentious stallion as you, can see a woman in this erotomaniac Natalia Petrovna, this strumpet from the convoy. Your Pal Palych is not better! He's is not a bit better. Gigantic gustatory pimple. Not bad said. Thank you. You are a writer. And each writer must live for long. Just think, how much books you have in front. And what a books. To digest in the soul this centuries-old experience of humanity. And here we started to talk about the benefit for humanity. Do you want to play a hero? But they will consider you as fool. Well, then you will go under the knife. - I will not go under the knife. - You will go under the knife as a ram. And I imagined that you have principles. Excuse me. The phone. Lately, Felix Alexandrovich, I could seem to you as audacious. I do not want to leave this impression. The main thing in my nature is straightness. What I think, that I speak. However I never had intentions to offend, to graze, to be raised. Go out! And be careful with telephone. Well. Think about yourself, Snegirev, about yourself! Think about yourself, about yourself... Think about yourself, about yourself... Think about yourself, Snegirev! About yourself. How long I haven't been here! But the sekretaire? You had the sekretaire here.
