[00:02.14]BOLKONSKY
[00:03.83]I’ve aged
[00:07.60]I’ve aged so very much
[00:11.07]I fall asleep at the table
[00:14.99]My napkin drops to the floor
[00:19.30]I’m full of childish vanities
[00:22.30]I forget things
[00:24.50]And I live in the past
[00:28.99]I’ve aged so very much
[00:40.12]People enjoy me though
[00:43.78]I come in for tea in my old-fashioned coat and powdered wig
[00:51.48]And I tell stories
[00:55.37]And utter scathing critiques
[01:00.10]This stern, shrewd old man
[01:03.68]A relic of the past century
[01:07.26]With his gentle daughter
[01:11.70]Such a majestic and agreeable spectacle
[01:20.37]MARY
[01:21.05]But besides the couple of hours during which we have guests
[01:28.37]There are also twenty-two hours in the day
[01:34.01]During which the private and intimate life of the house continues
[01:45.32]BOLKONSKY
[01:45.63]Bring my me slippers
[01:47.51]MARY
[01:47.72]Yes father, yes father
[01:49.21]BOLKONSKY
[01:49.42]Bring me my wine
[01:51.38]MARY
[01:51.56]Yes father, yes father
[01:53.42]BOLKONSKY
[01:53.65]If you’re not too busy
[01:55.80]Fiddling with your incense and icons?
[01:59.64]MARY
[01:59.95]No father, no father
[02:01.31]And I have no friends
[02:03.27]No, never go anywhere
[02:05.51]Never invited
[02:07.29]For who would take care of him
[02:09.51]BOLKONSKY
[02:09.69]I can hurt you
[02:10.63]MARY & BOLKONSKY
[02:10.87]I can hurt you
[02:13.35]MARY
[02:13.61]But I never ever ever ever would
[02:16.12]No father
[02:17.14]I love you father
[02:19.93]And time moves on
[02:27.09]And my fate slips past
[02:29.08]And nothing ever happens to me
[02:32.26]And Countess Natalya Rostova is coming for tea
[02:36.91]NATASHA
[02:37.20]I know they’ll like me
[02:40.15]Everyone has always liked me
[02:44.15]BOLKONSKY
[02:44.44]Natasha is young
[02:46.24]And worthless and dumb
[02:48.72]MARY
[02:49.06]And time moves on
[02:55.72]And my fate slips past
[02:57.97]Is this all I’ll make of my life?
[03:00.97]Will I never be happy?
[03:03.03]Will I never be anyone’s wife?
[03:06.01]BOLKONSKY
[03:06.25]Ah, what’s this? A young suitor?
[03:09.25]Ah, come in, come in
[03:11.08]But don’t sit down, don’t sit down
[03:13.12]I’m cold to you
[03:14.63]Yes I’m mean to you
[03:16.15]Now be gone, be gone be gone!
[03:19.31]And don’t come back!
[03:23.44]Oh, maybe I’ll marry someone myself
[03:25.79]Some cheap French thing
[03:28.16]Oh that offends you does it?
[03:30.59]Ah, come in my dear
[03:33.55]Come in my dear, come in
[03:35.14]MARY
[03:35.35]And he draws her to him
[03:37.46]And he kisses her hand
[03:40.44]Embraces her affectionately
[03:43.34]And I flush and run out of the room
[03:46.84]BOLKONSKY
[03:47.10]Come back here
[03:48.59]Let an old man have his fun
[03:50.45]MARY
[03:50.71]But she’s just using you papa
[03:52.38]Wants your money papa!
[03:54.18]To take advantage of your weakness like that
[03:58.05]It’s disgusting
[03:59.83]My voice breaks
[04:00.84]BOLKONSKY
[04:01.11]It’s my money and I’ll throw it where I want
[04:04.29]Not at you!
[04:06.36]And not at Andrey’s h****t!
[04:08.60]Insolent girl!
[04:10.69]Insolent girl!
[04:13.25]Where—
[04:14.22]Where—
[04:15.66]Where are my glasses?
[04:17.85]Where are they?
[04:19.39]Where are my glasses?
[04:21.32]Oh God—
[04:22.47]Oh God I’m frightened
[04:24.64]Oh God I’ve aged so very much
[04:28.51]Where are my glasses?
[04:32.95]Where are my glasses?
[04:43.11]MARY
[04:44.42]They are there upon his head
[04:48.52]The pride of sacrifice
[04:52.93]Gathers in my soul
[04:59.38]And he forgets things
[05:04.19]He falls asleep at the table
[05:07.20]His napkin drops to the floor
[05:09.96]His shaking head
[05:12.39]Sinks over his plate
[05:17.36]He is old and feeble
[05:21.20]And I dare to judge him
[05:26.34]I disgust myself
[05:33.00]I disgust myself
