Character: Anna Platonova

- Then tell me: did you cut my doll heads when I was 5 years old?
Yes, I am. And now you tell me: you will become my wife today?

- What do you want? I didn't call.
I came here to finish the dance, sir.
- Dancing for today. The effect surpassed all expectations. You can go.
- Thank you, sir, but still the dance is not finished. I am your fortress and I don't want you accused me of disobedience.
I have already let the musicians go.
I don't need musicians, I can manage perfectly well without them. Like you, sir? Yes? You're wanted, sir? Now I'm at your mercy. Like? You do like! You both wanted this. Look, take, use! Now I am yours, master...
- Go away!

- I have a question, Anna? I wonder if there is hope that someday You will be able to answer my feelings?
- I can't give You false promises.
- Okay... Last question. If from the beginning, well, as I say, I would play with You in the open, could it all be different?
- Perhaps...
- So let's forget everything! Let's start all over again!
- It is impossible to forget what has already happened.
- Thank you for your honesty... I won't torture yourself with unrealistic dreams.

- This Mr. Mishkin... - Shishkin! Oh, Shishkin! Ah, that's it!
