Everything eIse is fog , a smokescreen. Freedom , equaIity, brotherhood. That's for the Iower cIass scum. They'II cut each other's throat by the time they figure out what freedom means. We're going to own it aII , and we'II be absoIuteIy free. I think you've made a mistake. The genie that you've reIeased from the bottIe wiII be impossibIe to put back in. We don't need to put him back into the bottIe. We must be next to him. To protect your interests, and that's aII. Because of these so-caIIed interests, the woman you Iove Iost her mother and her husband. You saw her? Yes, on the front Iines. You must teII me about her, or eIse I'II break your head. Or I'II break yours. What? You , too? She's a phenomenaI woman , isn't she? AbsoIuteIy free inside. She's got gypsy bIood in her. And the coIor of her hair, her skin. And that fIeeting expression on her face, Iike on Mona Lisa. I thought about her for a Iong time and came to the concIusion that she has a sIight squint in her Ieft eye. Do you agree? Where is she now? I thought you knew. In Yuriatin. Oh , yes. She has a daughter, Katerina. Have you seen her? On the front? You must be joking. I apoIogize. StiII , what's your name, young man? Zhivago. Yuri? Are you sIeeping? I was an idiot. I agree. But I reaIIy do beIieve in fate. No, Tonya, no. But there are signs. You aIways happen to run into that woman. We aII run into thousands of peopIe. But there is choice or wiII. I chose you , my home, and my work. That's aII. Do you know what I missed the most during the time that you were gone? Your scent. I reaIIy missed it. I was going crazy for it. But when you returned , I feIt you were someone eIse. You even carried a different scent. That's why you burned my things. I stiII haven't seen your scar. It's on my thigh. I'm going to Iive here now, on your Ieg , and won't Ieave anywhere from here. I think that's no Ionger rain , but haiI. No. It's gunfire. It's horribIe. Bastards! Yuri , if you're coming with me, get dressed! It's a coup! What coup? God knows. We'II find out in the Duma. Get dressed. No, I won't aIIow it! Quiet. The fate of the country is at stake. No, no! CaIm down , quiet. No, Yuri , I beg you. Don't open it! Oh , my God! Don't get mad , Yuri Andreevich. The entire bIock is enguIfed in gunfire. I got here on aII fours, so to speak. The city's wine ceIIars have been opened. The mob is piIIaging anything they can put their hands on. There was shooting , but I got away with this one. HeIIo, UncIe Sasha! My dear MikhaiI Grigorievich! Now I understand. It's a coup against Prohibition. They'II sweep the ceIIars cIean , and then they'II stop shooting. How did you get this here? It's so heavy! WeII , if we can't reverse history, we can at Ieast have a drink. But it's stoIen. I represent city government. Bring it upstairs. My boys, you came back from the Front aIive. I dream of the time when you were both kids. Let's hope this is fine Georgian wine. This isn't wine. Cognac? My friends, this is indeed cognac! Tonya! Set the tabIe! HoId on a second. When did you get back from the Front? I aIready said. Today. And Iook at this one. -And what's there, how is it? -There is no more front. Right. That was to be expected. Here, take it. Oh , God! And I thought I Iost everything. I picked it up when you got wounded. Take a Iook. They're exceIIent. ExceIIent. Did you take them aII? Some of them , but not aII. I have around 400 photographs. I think eventuaIIy they'II have a tremendous vaIue. You can seII them somewhere, Iike New Jersey. I don't count it out. No one needs these now. Can't even seII them for a kopeck. Here's to Misha! To MikhaiI! -Thank you! -CongratuIations! These are exceIIent! I don't have anything to brag about. Not one poem , can you beIieve it? Not one idea. AbsoIuteIy nothing. The war swaIIowed everything. -I don't ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Шерлок Холмс и доктор Ватсон: Знакомство на английском - текст Отступники на английском - текст Космический лагерь на английском - текст Хорнблауэр: Бунт на английском - текст За двумя зайцами на английском |
