years
of blood and venom!
The German war, the civil war!
It's some nightmare!
People are fighting for the truth.
I don't want that truth!
I want peace!
To get back to my books...
I want to forget everything!
So may the earth
split apart,
and you'll be
reading your books?
Split apart?
Let it split apart!
With no ideals,
no home country!
The devastated earth
is perishing!
Oh, hell!
There're thousands of truths!
German truth, Russian truth,
the peasants' truth, the owners' truth,
the Bolsheviks' truth!
To hell with it all!
I don't want any other truth
but my own!
I don't want to sully myself!
Let the others
rummage in the dung, right?
Yes, let the others do it!
Those who like it!
How can you?
Mashenka, wait!
I didn't mean to hurt you!
Try to understand, I'm very tired!
We'll get out of here
and go to my place.
We'll live together, just the two
of us. You'll go to school.
You're offering me
to loll on a feather-bed with you
and eat chocolates?
When those chocolates
are all smeared with blood?
- Why are you being so crude?
- Crude?
And you want it handed to you
on a silver platter?
You don't like
the Bolshevik truth,
but what do you know about it?
Do you know that it's
all soaked through with tears?
No, I don't know it.
It's strange. You're a girl,
but you've become so hardened.
To get mixed up with the like of you!
For shame!
Mashenka, let's go
and wallow in bed!
You sluggard!
You dirty louse!
Stop swearing!
Don't forget yourself!
You lout!
You're lucky
you are a woman.
I hate you!
Trash!
For how long are we to go on
like that?
All right...
I'm sorry.
It pains me
that I have hurt you.
Why?
Are you hungry?
Don't dare saying so! Do you hear?
I hear you,
I'm not deaf.
What kind of talk is that?
It's no way to talk.
We're in love with each other!
We lived so well before that fight!
You know what, my dear?
Forget about everything
there was between us.
Why?
What happened?
Nothing happened.
I just forgot myself
looking at your eyes.
Listening to your voice.
It's all gone now,
as if it has never been.
So calm down.
Better eat some fish.
As you wish!
I'm not forcing myself upon you.
Mashenka!
Why did I fall in love with you?
You're breaking
my heart.
You have worn me out!
Stop it, Masha.
Calm yourself.
I thought you were strong!
That you were clever and would
understand me!
Let's not talk about that now!
I'll think about it later.
But don't do it now,
don't cry, my dear.
Calm yourself.
Now, that's good.
Let's forget about it.
Mashenka!
My darling!
My good one!
You don't know yourself
how good you are.
Say that you love me.
I do, but I am grieved
that you're so backward.
Well, I've got some
grievances, too.
The revolution!
I dreamed of it as of a bride.
I believed in it.
In all my career of an officer
I've never laid a finger on a soldier!
But they caught me in Gomel
and spit in my face!
Why?
And the other officers,
they bled the soldiers white!
How they abused us.
You forgot about it?
How can you talk
about your grievances?
Maybe you're right...
It's stupid.
I can't stand it
any longer!
If the fishermen are not here in
three days, I'll shoot myself.
And wasn't it you
who called my a sluggard!
I did because
you deserved it.
Will you deny it?
Come on!
Say that you deserved it!
Yes, I deserved it.
So you got wiser now?
Yes, I got wiser.
Thank you,
you helped me to get wiser.
It's too early to think
of getting back to my books.
I still have to live a real life!
And grit my teeth.
And bite like a wolf!
Did you really come to your senses?
I did.
If we go back
to our books now
and let you
manage the land,
you're going to do
something terrible to it!
No, Man Friday!
A sail!
A sail!
- The fishermen!
- Mashenka!
Oh, my little fool!
The queen of the land of Amazons!
- Mashenka!
- Let go off me!
We need to give them a signal.
Why signal?
They may pass by us.
Get the gun!
