"Father Zosimus lives in the hermitage." "He never leaves it." "It is about 400 to 500 steps this way." "Through those gates, and through the forest." "I will show you." "I appreciate it." "Here it is." "Oh, dear, your hat..." " Oh, yes..." "Bless me, Your Reverence." "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." "I beg your forgiveness but ..." "my father's servant, Smerdiakov, said that the meeting was at one, but now I find out ..." "Calm down, it's nothing that you are a little late." "Do not worry." "I am grateful." "Why are you silent, Piotr Aleksandrovich?" "Continue." "Allow me to change the subject." "This subject is too intricate." "Here Ivan Fiodorovich is laughing at us." "He probably has something curious to say." "If he really believes the strange and paradoxical statement that he made a few days ago..." "It was nothing special, just a small statement about love." "I think that there is no law of Nature saying that a man should love humanity..." "And if there is, and there is love in the world, it is not because of some Natural law, but only because people believe in their immortality." "If this belief is destroyed, people will lose not only their love for their neighbor, but every living force keeping them alive." "Without belief in immortality nothing will be immoral, everything will be permitted, from egoism to murder." "And not only permitted, but accepted as being reasonable and necessary." "Excuse me, then murder should not only be permitted, but accepted as the most necessary and intelligent outcome for any atheist?" "Is it so?" " Yes, it is so." "I'll remember that!" "Are you really so convinced of the consequences of people ceasing to believe in the soul's immortality?" "Yes, I insist." "There is no virtue if there is no immortality." "If you believe so, you are either blessed or most unhappy." "Why unhappy?" "Because in all probability you do not believe in the immortality of your own soul." "Maybe I do not;" "you are right." "Your heart still hasn't answered this question and is suffering." "You are suffering and enjoying it." "Martyrs like to enjoy their dispair sometimes." "It's true, Your Reverence..." "Sacred truth!" "Excuse me, but can this question be answered by me?" "And answered in the affirmative?" "If it can't be decided in the affirmative, it will never be decided in the negative." "That is the peculiarity of your heart, and all its suffering is due to it." "God grant that your heart will attain the answer on earth." " Most pious and holy elder, this is my son, the dearest of my flesh." "He is my most respectful son:" "Karl Moor, so to speak, while this son of mine is the one against whom I am seeking justice from you." "This is the undutiful..." "Franz Moor." "They are both out of Schiller's "Robbers"." "And I am the pitiful count von Moor." "Judge and save us." "We need not only your prayers but your prophecies as well!" "Speak without buffoonery and don't begin by insulting the members of your family." "This is an unbecoming comedy!" "Forgive me, Reverend Father, but you have been deceived." "You have been too kind in letting us meet here." "All my father wants is a scandal." "Why?" "Only he can tell." "He accuses me!" "A son accuses his father!" "He accuses me of hiding his inheritance." "Aren't there courts?" "You will answer for everything in the court, Dmitry Fiodorovich!" "The whole town is echoing with his debaucheries." "He seduced a most noble girl from a good and rich family." "Now she is here, his bride." "And he visits a certain local seductress, in front of her." "And although this seductress has been living in civil marriage with a respectable old man, she is of an independent character, an unapproachable fortress for everybody." "Yes, holy Fathers, unapproachable!" "And Dmitry Fiodorovich wants to open this fortress with a golden key, and that is why he is borrowing money." "And from whom do you think, gentlemen?" " Don't you dare!" "Don't you dare sully this most noble lady in front of me!" "I won't permit it!" "Mitya!" "Is your father's blessing nothing to you?" "What if I curse you here, in front of the Holy Father?" "Shameless hypocrite!" "You want to send me to prison based on my bills and receipts because you are jealous of this seductress!" "And you bother her with your love yourself!" "Forgive my anger, Holy Father." "God knows that I came here to ask my father for forgiveness!" "But as he has just insulted not only me, but a most honourable young lady," "I have decided to reveal his vile game publicly!" "Duel!" "With pistols, at three paces..." "Across a handkerchief!" "Across a handkerchief!" "Excuse me, Your Reverence, but we are all guilty in this scandal." "Personally, I myself learned it all only now..." "A father is jealous of his son because of a foul woman and wants to send him to prison." "In all your family there hasn't been a woman more saintly and decent than this "foul" creature!" "Shameful!" "Shameful and disgraceful!" "What is shameful?" "That creature is perhaps holier than you are, gentlemen Fathers." "She fell in her youth, ruined by her environment." "But she loved much, and Christ himself forgave the woman "who loved much"." "It was not for such love that Christ forgave her." "No, monks, just for such love!" "For exactly such love!" "You save your souls here, eating cabbage and gudgeons!" "One gudgeon a day!" "And you think you bribe God with gudgeons!" "You want to be rewarded in Heaven!" "You won't get it!" "Stop!" "You, stop!" "Stop!" "I will kill you!" "Why... why is such a man alive?" "Tell me, Holy Father, why should such a man dishonour the earth?" "Why should he be tolerated?" "Oh, my God!" "Forgive me!" "What an eccentric!" "Is such behavior allowed?" "Confession is a great sacrament, and here, kneeling in front of all!" "I won't leave it like that!" "I will write the Synod about his behavior tomorrow!" "I will take home my son, Alyosha, who is saving himself here!" "And you, Von Sohn, why are you standing with us?" " Are you talking to me?" " Of course." "Who else?" "I'm not Von Sohn." "I am Maksimov." "No, you are Von Sohn, a real one!" "Do you know who Von Sohn was?" "He was killed in a brothel in St. Petersburg." "They wrote about it in the newspapers." "They killed, robbed, nailed him in a box and sent him to Moscow." "And while they were nailing him up, the harlots sang songs and played the harp!" "Here he is, the very Von Sohn!" "Ressurrected!" "Piotr Aleksandrovitch, wait for me!" "Wait for me, my dear relative!" "And you, Von Sohn, come!" " With pleasure!" "Go, son, go." "You are needed there." "Let me stay here, Holy Father." "You are more needed there." "There is no peace there." "Remember, son, this is not your place." "When it's God's will to call me, leave the monastery." "Here is my advice." "Look for your happiness in sorrow." "Life will bring you a lot of sorrow, but you will be happy through it." "And you will bless life." "Remember my words, for not just my days but my hours are numbered." "Now go, dear, I need to pray." "Be near your brothers, not one only, but both." " Come here!" " What are you doing here?" "I am on the watch." "Good that I saw you!" "Climb in here!" "Climb in quickly." "For 5 days already I have kept watch for my queen." "Alyosha, I wish I could press you to my bosom till I crush you!" "Because truly, I mean it, truly," "I love none but you." "You and one jade!" "I fell in love with her and through that I perished!" "But to fall in love is not the same as to love." "You can fall in love hating at the same time." "Remember that." "And sit, sit!" "Keep quiet and I will talk!" "Because it is time!" "And you will listen, you will judge!" "And you will forgive." "Ah, Alyosha, so many sorrows people have on earth..." "Too many..." "Brother, I am very uneducated." "But I think a lot." "Take beauty..." "It is a horrible thing." "What the mind sees as disgrace, the heart sees as beauty." "Did you know that?" " No, I didn't." "No, men are broad-minded." "Too much!" "I would make them less so!" "It is hell knowing that!" "What's terrible, Alyosha, is that beauty is not only a horrible... but also a mysterious thing!" "The Devil is fighting God here." "And the human heart is the battlefield." "As the tongue always returns to the aching tooth." "Where were you going?" " To father, and then to Katerina Ivanovnova." "To her and to father!" "What a coincidence!" "I was hungering and thirsting for you because of this!" "Wanted to send you to her and to father, so as to have done with it." "To have done with both!" "What a Balaam's ass!" "Who taught you this?" "He is a rascal, sir, that's what he is!" "How dare you, rascal, say that?" "Wait a little with "rascal", Grigory Vasilievich." "Consider yourself:" "It is written in the Holy Bible that if you have even very little faith, and you tell the mountain to move into the sea, it will move right away." "Is it so or not?" "Yes, it is so." "Ivan, he is saying this for you." "And if I am an atheist, and you are such a believer, tell the mountain to move not to the sea... but even to our little stinky river that flows behind the garden." "Then you will see that nothing will move anywhere, no matter how much you scream." "This means that you don't have faith either." " You are lying, rascal!" "I do have faith!" "You scorn me in vain, Grigory Vasilievich." "Nowadays not only you but nobody can push a mountain into the sea." "Except for maybe one or two people in the world." "And they are maybe hiding secretly in some Egyptian desert." "Wait, ass, wait, swindler!" "You still think there are people who can move mountains?" " I do." " Ivan, make a note of this; write it down." "That's true." "It is characteristic of the people's faith." "Your word is worth a gold piece, Balaam's ass." "But as to the rest, you are talking nonsense!" "He is!" "This swindler knows, that we here are all of little faith only from light-mindedness." "God has given us so little time, only 24 hours in a day, so that we don't have time to sleep much less to repent of our sins." "Ah, here he is, Alyosha..." "We are discussing your subject!" "Have you eaten?" "I have." "Will you have some coffee?" "It is nice, and fresh, and hot!" "I will." "Smerdiakov, give him some hot coffee!" "Ivan, I love how he looks, what eyes, what a laugh!" "I love him, I do!" "Let me kiss you!" "Now sit and drink your coffee." "And you, Jesuits, get out!" "They can't even let me sit quietly after dinner, rascals!" "Smerdiakov comes here every time at dinner." "It's you he is interested in." "What have you done to him?" " Nothing." "He's a stinking lackey and a boor." "It is he who decided to respect me." "To respect!" "He can't stand any of us." "I should whip him." "But it's not allowed now." "What a pity!" "Our moujiks are swindlers." "They should be whipped." "That such a Balaam's ass can come up with anything!" "But damn him, better that we drink." " Haven't you had enough?" " I will drink one more and then another." "Alyosha, don't be angry at me because I offended your priest." "I am angry at myself!" "Of course, if God exists, I am guilty and will answer to him." "And if he doesn't, then what?" "Then these monks' heads should be cut off." "I'd take all their mysticism, all these monasteries, and abolish them, all over Russia." " Why?" " Why?" "For the Truth to prevail." "But if Truth prevails you will be the first to be robbed and killed." "Ah!" "I daresay you're right." "I'm an ass." "Well, then your monastery, Alyosha, can stand, if that's the way it is." "And we, clever people, will stay in a warm place and drink cognac." " You've had enough." " Only one more!" "Tell me, Ivan." "Is there a God or not?" "But seriously." "God does not exist." "So." "Alyosha, now you: is there a God?" " God exists." "Ivan, and is there immortality of some sort, just a little bit, a tiny bit." " There is no immortality." " None?" " None." " Aliosha is there immortality?" " There is." " Both God and immortality?" "In God is immortality." "Probably you are right, Ivan." "Lord, just imagine how much faith people have given, how much energy in vain for this dream" "for thousands of years." "Who can mock people in such a way?" " Probably the devil." " But is there a devil?" " There is no devil either." " Damn it!" "What wouldn't I do to the man who first invented God!" "Hanging would be too good for him." " There would have been no civilization then." " Without God?" "Yes." "And there would be no brandy, either..." "And I have to take it away from you anyway." "Wait, just a glass." "You despise me." "You stay in my house but you despise me." "Alyosha, don't love Ivan." "His eyes are suspicious." " This is brandy talking." " I asked you to go to Cheremishnya for a day or two." "Why don't you go?" "You want to spy on me." "That's what you want, evil soul." " If you insist, I will go tomorrow." " Will you?" " I will." "Thank you!" "You've comforted me!" "Let me kiss you." "Look, Ivan, when you go to Cheremishnya, there is a girl." "I've been keeping an eye on her for a long time." "She is still little though." "But don't you be afraid of the little, bare-footed ones, don't despise them." "They're pearls!" "Oh, you children!" "There wasn't for me an ugly woman in all my life!" "To my mind, in any woman you can find something interesting, damn it, that you won't find in any other." "But you need to know how to look for it." "The talent is needed!" "Where is she?" "I saw her coming here." "Where is she?" "He'll kill me!" "Don't let him get at me!" "Ah!" "You hid her there!" "Out of the way, old man!" "At him!" "At him!" "Grushenka is there!" "Let me go!" "She came to me!" "She is here!" "Where is she?" "Where do you hide her?" "Stop him!" " Madman, you will kill him!" " If I haven't done it yet, I will!" "Dmitry!" "Go away at once!" "At once!" "Alexey, tell me." "I believe only you." "Was Grushenka here or not?" " No, she wasn't." "I swear she's not been here." " Then she is..." "I'll find out where she is right now." "Tell Katerina Ivanovna what I asked you!" "And be sure to say that he sends his compliments!" "Just compliments and farewell!" "Vanya, Alyosha, Grushenka must be somewhere here!" "No, she's not here, you old lunatic." "We need to take him to bed." "Take his legs." "Alyosha, help me." "What a villain." "A villain!" "Damn it all, if I hadn't pulled him away, perhaps he'd have murder old Aesop." "God forbid!" "Why should he "forbid"?" "One reptile will devour the other." "Serves them both right." "Brother, what are you saying!" "Go, Alyosha, to the old man." "Stay with him." "I'm going outside, my head aches." "Aliosha, sit with me." "Where is Ivan?" " He went outside; he has a headache." "I am afraid of him, Aliosha." "I am more afraid of him than of the other." "Do not be afraid, father." "He protected you." "And Mitya?" "He's probably run to Grushenka." "He wants to marry her..." "To marry!" "She won't marry him, father." "She won't?" "She won't, never!" "My angel, go to Grushenka, ask her..." "Look at her and guess who she wants to be with - me or him." " If I see her, I'll ask." " No, don't ask." "She'll start kissing you." "You can't go to her!" " It wouldn't be right, either, father." " Where was Mitya sending you just now?" " To Katerina Ivanovna." " For money?" "To ask for money?" " No, not for money." "He doesn't have money;" "not a farthing." "Go now." "I'll try to sleep." " How is he?" " Asleep." "Tell me, Ivan, how will all this horror end?" "In nothing." "Everything will dissolve." "In any case Dmitry shouldn't be let in here." "Does anyone really have the right to decide who deserves to live and who doesn't?" "Everyone has the right to wish." " But not to wish another's death!" " Even death." "Is it because of what I said?" "Do you really think I am able to shed my father's blood, like Dmitry?" " No, brother!" "Such an idea never crossed my mind." "I don't think Dmitry is capable of it either." " Thank you." "Alexey, I won't let a murder happen, as I have done right now." "But I am free to wish." "Don't look at me as if I was a villain." "Thank God!" "At last you have come!" "Light more candles, please." "I was so eager to see you, because only from you can I hear the truth." " I came..." "I mean, he sent me..." " He sent you?" "Is it so?" "Why did he send you to me then?" "Take a seat and tell me everything." "Don't be shy!" "Tell me everything!" " He told me to give you his compliments..." "And he said he won't come any more." " His compliments?" "Was that what he said?" " Yes, it was." "Maybe he didn't mean exactly that?" "Maybe he's mistaken the word?" " No, he asked to say this exact word." "He repeated it three times." "Then I need your help, Alexey Fiodorovich." "I will tell you what I think, and you say if I am right." "If he had sent me his compliments not meaning it, everything would be over." "It would be the end." "But if he insisted on this word, emphasized it, it means that he was excited, afraid of his decision." "He didn't walk away from me firmly, but ran down the mountain." "Yes!" "I thought so, maybe." "Then I can still save him." "I have to tell you..." "Dmitry was at our father's house now..." "And I think he ran to that woman." "My God!" "And do you suppose that I can't put up with that woman?" "He won't marry her." "It's passion and not love." "I think he will." "He won't marry her." "Because she won't accept him." "Why are you looking at me so?" "Maybe you don't believe me?" "Agrafena Aleksandrovna, my angel, come here." "I was waiting for you to call me." "How do you do, Alyosha." " How do you do." " We meet for the first time." "I wanted to see her, but she came to me herself and brought me peace and joy." "You do not look down on me, sweet lady." "Don't dare to speak to me like that, you sorceress!" "Look down on you!" "Here, I must kiss you." "And more, more!" "Look how she laughs, Alexey Fiodorovich, my heart fills with joy!" " You spoil me, sweet lady!" "Perhaps I am not at all worthy of your kindness." "Not worthy!" "She's not worthy of it!" "You know, Alexey Fiodorovich, that her little heart is wilful and proud." "And she is noble and generous!" "She was just unhappy." "There was one man, also an officer." "She fell in love with him, gave him everything, but he forgot her and married another." "Now he is a widower, and is coming here." "Do you know, she loves none but him, and has loved him all her life!" "He'll come soon and Grushenka will be happy again." "And who dares to reproach her or boast of her favor... granted during her years of unhappiness?" "Only that legless merchant, but he was more like a father, a protector to her." "He found her in pain, and saved her from death." "You defend me too much, dear lady." "You are gushing too much." "Defend you!" "Is it for me to defend you?" "Look at her face, Alexey Fiodorovich." "Look at this pretty hand!" "It brought me happiness and revived me." "And I will kiss it now!" "You won't make me blush, dear young lady, kissing my hand like this before Alyosha." "Do you really think I meant to make you blush?" "Ah, my dear, how little you understand me." "But you too, perhaps quite misunderstand me." "Maybe I am much worse than you think." "I charmed Dmitry Fiodorovich just for fun." "But now you'll save him." "You've given me your word." "You'll bring him to reason and tell him you love another man!" "Oh, no!" "I didn't give you my word to do that." "How come?" "You promised..." "I've promised nothing." "I am mean and changeable after all." "Maybe I promised something, but I've changed my mind." "What if I like him, Mitya, again?" "Last time I liked him a lot!" "I will go and tell him to stay with me forever." "But just now you said something quite different." "I am such a soft-hearted, silly creature." "I'll go home and, then, maybe feel sorry for him." "I never expected..." "I thought you were..." "Ah, young lady, how kind and noble you are compared to me!" "Now you will perhaps stop loving me, such a fool I am." "Give me your hand, angelic lady." "I'll kiss your hand as you've kissed mine." "You kissed mine three times, and I'll kiss yours 300 times to make it even to you." "What a sweet hand..." "what a sweet hand you have!" "You sweet young lady, you incredible beauty..." "But you know what, angelic lady?" "I won't kiss your hand." "I won't!" "What's the matter with you?" "So that you are left to remember that you kissed my hand, but I didn't kiss yours." "You're insolent!" "Insolent!" "And I'll tell Mitya how you kissed my hand!" "He will laugh so!" "He will laugh so!" " Out, vile creature!" "Out!" "Shame on you, shame on you, dear young lady." "It doesn't become you to say words like that." "Out!" "You corrupt creature!" "Out!" "Corrupt I am not!" "You used to visit gentlemen in the night for money yourself!" "Brought your beauty for sale!" " Out, out!" " Calm down!" "Go away for God's sake!" "I will go..." "I will go!" "See me out, Alyosha." "See me out, my dear." "I will say nice things to you on the way!" "I have performed this scene for you!" "My dear little monk!" "Tigress!" "She should be put in a cage!" "On a scaffold!" "Why did you hold me back, Alexey Fiodorovich?" "I'd have beaten her!" "I warned you, Katrine." "You're too impulsive, too wilful!" "You don't know these creatures!" " Your brother is a scoundrel, Alexey Fiodorovich!" "How dared he tell that creature about that fatal, accursed day!" "What a scoundrel!" "Scoundrel!" "She called her a tigress?" "Tigress indeed!" "The queen of insolence!" "Delightful!" "Mitya, will you really marry such a woman?" "If she wants, I will right away!" "And if she doesn't..." "I will be her yard cleaner!" "I will make her tea, run errands..." " And what about Katerina Ivanovna, Mitya?" "You are her fiance." "You still are." "What kind of fiance am I?" "It's not love, it's war." "Endless war." "She can't forget that fatal day." "When I decided to buy her." "What are you saying, brother?" "You're delirious!" "Wanted to buy her!" "It happened a year ago." "I was still a warrant officer in the line battalion." "And Katia's father himself commanded that batallion." "If you had seen her then, Alyosha!" "She was the beauty of the beauties, intelligent, educated..." "I won't lie, I tried to win her love." "But what was I to her?" "A scoundrel, rude!" "She never looked at me." "But I waited for my opportunity!" "There was a rumour that Katia's father had lost state money." "I sent her a message saying that if she came to me in secret," "I would give her 4 500, all my fortune." "How could you, brother?" "Am I not a vile insect?" "She came, brother..." "At night..." "I glanced at her and understood that with her dishonour she trampled me in the mud!" "That through her sacrifice she wanted to elevate herself so, that I would never reach her." "But I didn't accept her sacrifice." "I gave her the money and in a most noble way sent her away." "And she won't forgive me that." "Until her death hour." "Because I surpassed her in nobility." "And then out of pride she sealed her fate and offered herself as a bride." "But she loves our brother Ivan." "That's true, Alyosha." "That is the drama that happened there." "But the real tragedy, Alyosha, will happen here." "Where did she hide the vodka?" "Mitya, what are you?" "Alyosha, then Katia gave me 3000 rubles to send to her aunt in Moscow." "I not only didn't send it, I squandered it!" "With Grushenka at Mokroye." " How could you?" " Well, I could!" "Damn, they hid it!" "I wish I could give it back to her!" "I can be a scoundrel, but not a thief!" "Tell me, where can I find that much money?" " Where can you get it, it's 3000!" " Father?" " He won't give it you!" "I know." "But I can still pull-up." "I can give back half my lost honour tomorrow!" "Look!" "A terrible dishonour is coming!" "A terrible one!" "Death and darkness!" "Well, go your way..." "and I will go mine." " Mitya, I will pray for you." " Don't!" "I am not worth it and don't need it!" "Farewell." "Know, fathers, each one of you is guilty for everyone and for everything on the Earth." "Get rid of suffering, love your neighbors." "And then each of you will be able to embrace the world with love." "And to wash human sins away with tears." "Ah, son, come in, come in, dear!" "I knew you would come." "What happened?" "Don't weep over me yet." "You see I am sitting up, talking with my friends." "Maybe I will still live long." "Get up, son..." "Get up." "Let me look at you." "Have you visited your family?" " I have." " Have you seen your brother?" " Both of them." "I mean the one... to whom I bowed deeply today." "I bowed to his suffering." "To his great future suffering..." "that awaits him." "Father and teacher, your words are too obscure." "What suffering awaits my brother?" "I saw something horrible." "As if his whole destiny was expressed in his look." "He had such a look, that my heart was terrified." "Terrified with what he is preparing for himself." "Here, Your Excellency, a pen and ink." "Bravo, Vasia!" "Well done!" "Here, take my last ruble!" "And put some music!" "And I write:" ""My fatal Katia," "Tomorrow I will fetch it... for you..." "And if I don't, I will go... to my father and break his head..." "Wait... and pray to God... and then I won't... shed blood..." "And if he doesn't give it to me..." "What can I do for you, sir?" "Probably you have already heard, Kuzma Kuzmich, about my dispute with my father, who has robbed me." "I inhereited Cheremashnia village from my mother." "And the lawsuit with my father proceeds for that exact village." "Would you, most noble Kuzma Kuzmich, buy my rights to this village and give me 3000?" "I assure you, by no means can you lose, because the village is worth not less than 25 000." "I am ready to sign all the papers right away and to give you the documents I have." "I ask for 3000 only." "Thus you would save my poor head for the most noble cause." "Because now I can tell you, Kuzma Kuzmich, that I have the deepest feeling for one lady known to you." "You know her too well and you have protected her like a father." "Three persons are interested in this lady." "Her destiny is at stake!" "Really!" "And since you, pardon me, should have been excluded long ago, two persons are left." "One of them is me, another is the monster." "So, choose - me or him." "Everything is in your hands now." "Three people, two ends." "Here are the documents." "Excuse me..." "We are not interested in such cases." " How come?" "I was told, that you..." " Excuse me, we are not interested." "But... then I am lost!" "You see, sir, business of that sort is not in our line." "The courts, the lawyers..." "A lot of trouble." "But if you like, there is a man here..." " Good heavens!" "Who is it?" "He isn't local." "He sells timber." "His nickname is Liagavy." "He has been haggling with your father for the last year, over the price of your property at Chermashnia." "Now he has come and is staying with the priest at Ilyinskoe." "Is it Ilyinskoe?" " At Ilyinskoe, father." "If you were to make Liagavy the offer you've made me, he might possibly ..." "Brilliant idea!" "He is the very man!" "He wants to buy, too much is being asked, and here he would have all the documents entitling him to it!" "How can I thank you?" "Oh, you saved me!" " Don't mention it." " I will never forget it, Kuzma Kuzmich!" "It's a Russian who says that, a Russian!" "Well, to Ilyinskoye, to Liagavy!" " Good morning, father." " Why are you here?" "To inquire about your health." "Thanks for asking, Alexey Fiodorovich." "Don't you worry." "It's all nonsense." "Well, how are things over there?" "How is your elder?" "He is very sick." "He could die anytime." "Ivan is trying to take Mitya's bride from him." "He came here for her." "Did he tell you that himself?" "Why did he come then?" "To kill me secretly, I suppose?" "Why do you say such things?" "He doesn't ask for money, keeps quiet, grins." "Watches over me." "He is afraid I will marry Grushka." "That's why he is pushing Mitya at her." "If Mitya marries Grushenka, Ivan can carry off his rich betrothed." "He is a scoundrel, your Ivan!" "Great rascal!" "How cross you are." "It is because of yesterday." "You'd better lie down." "And your beloved Mitya..." "I will crush him, like a cockroach." "Like that!" "With my shoe!" "Then he won't exist!" "Or I could complain to the police, and have him locked up at once." "But you won't do it, will you?" "Ivan has dissuaded me." "Besides, if I send him to jail, she'll hear of it and run to see him at once." "I see through her, that wench!" "Won't you have a drop of brandy?" " No, thank you." " Just a little?" " No." " Well, I will." " But may I have this roll?" " Take it, take it." " And you shouldn't have brandy either." " Only one little glass..." "One more drop..." "Here." "One glass won't kill me." "It does put you in a better humour." "Alexey, what if I gave Mitya a thousand or two now, would the rascal agree to give up Grushenka and go away for good?" "I don't know." "I'll ask." "But he said he needs 3000." "Nonsense!" "No need to ask." "I won't give him anything!" "Nothing." "I want the money for myself." "I need every penny!" "You can do anything you want if you have money." "I want to live in my filth until my last day." "It's better in the filth!" "Everybody curses it, but still lives in it." "But in secret." "While I live openly!" "And I don't want your heaven, Alyosha." "I think it doesn't become a decent man to be in heaven." "And don't tell Mitya anything about the money, otherwise he will be hoping." "Rascal!" "And he will not have Grushenka." "I will drag him through the mud!" "What are you waiting for?" "Go." "Nothing more here today." "Goodbye, father." "What's that for?" "Do you think we won't see each other again?" " Not at all, I didn't mean anything." " Nor did I. Don't be offended." "Don't be offended." "Listen, come again." "I will have fish soup for you the special one." "Will you?" " Yes, I will." " Be sure to come." "Hello, Pavel Fiodorovich." "Do you know where my brother, Dmitry, is?" "Why should I know?" "As if I were his keeper..." "I just asked if you knew..." "I have been to his landlord's and was told he hasn't spent the night at home." "I know nothing about his whereabouts and do not want to know." "But my brother told me that you knew everything and even reported to him." "That is because he pressured me most cruelly and threatened twice to kill me." " To kill?" " It is nothing for him, considering his character." "You saw it yourself yesterday." "And the other day he threatened to pound me in a mortar." " In a mortar, it was just talk." " I wouldn't be so sure." "And you don't know where Ivan Fiodorovich is either?" "This I know for sure." "Ivan Fiodorovich is in the house of Mrs. Khokhlakova, visiting Katerina Ivanovna Verkhovtseva." "I don't love Dmitry Fiodorovich anymore." "I pity him." "Even if he marries that creature, I will not abandon him." "It's not that I am running after him or tormenting him." "No!" "I will leave for another place, but for all my life I will watch him tirelessly." "And when he is unhappy with that creature..." "And this will happen!" " It will indeed!" "Then he will come to me and find a sister, a true friend in me." "I will be a God to whom he can pray." "I will become a means for his happiness, a tool, a machine for his happiness." "I will be that for my whole life." "That is my decision." "Any other woman would sound broken and artificial." "But you sound absolutely genuine and, therefore, you are right." "But that's only for the moment." "And what does this moment stand for?" "Nothing but yesterday's insult." "Maybe so, but with Katerina Ivanovna's character..." "This moment will last for all her life." "Your life, Katerina Ivanovna, will now pass in painful contemplation of your own heroism and suffering." "Oh, my God, it is so wrong!" "It is so wrong!" "Alexey Fiodorovich, you tell me." "I need to know what you think about my decision." " But what can I tell you?" "I..." "It's nothing." "Continue, it's just the result of last night." "But by the side of such friends as you are, I feel strong, for I know you will never desert me." "Unluckily, I am obliged to desert you already, tomorrow, because I leave for Moscow." "Tomorrow - to Moscow!" "Oh, God..." "Why ..." "But this is so fortunate!" "Oh, not fortunate that you are leaving us, on the contrary, I will be very unhappy." "It is fortunate that you will personally deliver a letter to my aunt." "And will openly tell her about my awful situation." "Believe me, I am so glad." "I will write the letter at once." "At once..." "And Alyosha?" "What about his opinion that you were so desperately anxious to hear?" "Oh, yes." "I am anxious to hear you, Alexey Fiodorovich." "But what is wrong with you?" "I have never thought, I couldn't imagine it..." "What?" "He is going to Moscow and you cry out that you are glad." "You are just acting, playing a comedy, as in a theatre." "What theatre?" "What comedy?" "I do not understand." "Nor do I understand myself." "I know I am not saying it properly, but I'll say it all the same." "You do not love my brother Dmitry." "I don't really know, but..." "someone has to tell the truth." "Because here no one wants to tell the truth." "What truth?" "Call Dmitry here at once, let him come and take your hand.." "Then he will take Ivan's hand... and join them." "Because it is Ivan you love." "And you love Dmitry falsely, in anguish..." "You..." "You are a little religious idiot, that's what you are!" "You are wrong, my good brother." "Katerina Ivanovna has never loved me, although she knew I loved her." "She has been keeping me for continuous revenge." "She revenged upon me all the insults she had suffered from Dmitry." "That's the kind of woman she is." "Now I am leaving..." "Leaving forever." "And know, Katerina Ivanovna, that you really love only Dmitry..." "And you love him the way he is, insulting you." "If he suddenly improved, you would instantly cease to love him!" "That is your anguish." "Farewell!" "I do not want your hand." "You have been torturing me too consciously for me to be able to forgive you right now." "Later, perhaps, but not now." "Ivan!" "It's my fault, my fault." "I need to bring him back!" "Ivan, wait!" "You should go back, Ivan." "Do not meddle in my business, Alexey." "You spoke meanly and unjustly, Ivan." "You've hurt her!" "It's so wrong." "I won't go back there, Alyosha." " But..." "And you calm down." "Put your cap on and calm down." "You know what?" "Let's go to the inn, have dinner and drink champagne for my freedom." " But she..." " Let's go!" "So you are leaving tomorrow morning?" "Morning?" "Did I say in the morning?" "Well, maybe in the morning." "Why do you care?" "And what about father and Dmitry?" "Am I their keeper?" "I have finished my business and am leaving." "I finished my business just now." "You were there." "Can you imagine, I have been torturing myself with her for almost a year." "She has been tormenting me." "And suddenly it is ended." "I went out of there and burst with laughter." "And now you are so happy." "But maybe maybe it is not love?" "Alyosha, don't talk about love;" "it is inappropriate for you." "And I am happy because of youth, because of thirst for life." "You know, I think there isn't a dispair that would be able to destroy this frantic, almost unbecoming thirst for life that I have." "I am very glad, Ivan, that you love life so much." "But this is only one half." "Now it's time for you to think about the other half." "What is that other half you are talking about?" "You know it yourself." "Whether I believe or not?" "Yes." "Well, I can tell you openly and simply." "I accept God." "I accept His wisdom and His purpose, that we no longer know..." "I believe in the order and meaning of life." "Et cetera." "There are many words about it." "But in the final scale I don't accept God's world." "I am sure as an infant that human suffering will heal and smooth everything in the end." "That all this comicality of human contradictions will disappear like a pathetic mirage." "That in the world's finale, in a moment of eternal harmony, something so precious will appear that it will be sufficient for all the hearts, for expiation of all human villainy and all the blood shed." "It will be sufficient not only for forgiveness, but for justification of all that happened to humanity." "Let it all be!" "Let it all happen!" "But I still don't accept God's world." "And I don't want to accept!" "That's my essence in brief, Alyosha." "That's my thesis." "I couldn't have expressed it more stupidly." "But it is not God you were interested in." "You wanted to know how your brother lives, what he believes in." "Why did you express it stupidly?" "The stupider it is, the clearer it is." "Stupidity is brief and artless, while intelligence wriggles and hides itself." "Would you please explain, why you do not accept God's world?" "I will, of course." "I led up to it." "I think, Alyosha, that Christ's love for people is an impossible miracle on earth." "And what's with that?" "Let me explain with a story." "There once lived an important general in his own estate." "Some 2,000 souls served him, and he had kennels with hundreds of dogs and almost a hundred huntsmen." "One day a serf boy, a little child of 8, threw a stone playing." "It hurt the general's favorite hound's leg." ""Why is my dog lame?" - demanded the general." "He is told that the boy had thrown a stone..." "That it had hit the dog's leg." ""Get him," ordered the general." "The boy was taken from his mother... and kept in a lockup all night." "Next morning, very early, the general goes hunting in his best bib and tucker." "Surrounded by dogs, huntsmen all on horseback." "The servants are gathered up for edification." "And in front of them all stood the boy's mother." "The boy is taken out of the lockup." "The general orders him to undress." "The boy is stripped naked, he shivers, mad from fear, can't make a sound." ""Make him run", says the general." ""Run, run!" shout the huntsmen." ""At him," cried the general, and he sets the whole pack of hounds on the child!" "And the dogs tore the boy into pieces in front of his mother." "Well, what should be done to this general in your opinion?" " He should be shot!" " Bravo!" "Pretty monk!" "So there is a little devil sitting in your heart!" "What I said was absurd maybe, but..." "That's just the point that "but"!" "Know, novice, the world stands on absurdities." "I told you about this tormented child to make it clearer." "Of the other tears of humanity which soak the Earth from crust to center," "I do not want to talk." "I am just a bug!" "Just a bug!" "And I admit that I don't know why it is all arranged this way!" "People themselves are to blame." "Heaven was given to them, but they wanted freedom, and stole fire from heaven." "So they are not to be pitied." "But if they have to suffer in order to buy eternal harmony with their pain..." "What do the children have to do with it?" "Tell me, Alexey, if you were constructing human destiny with the purpose of making people happy and giving them peace and comfort, could you torture to death even only one little child in order to achieve that purpose?" "No, I couldn't." "But there is somebody who can forgive everybody for everything." "People will cry to Him "Thou art just, O'Lord" when everything in heaven and under the earth blends in a united eulogy." "You forgot that, Ivan." "No, I didn't." "But I don't want to and I won't say "Thou art just, O'Lord"" "seeng the mother embracing the tormentor who sent his dogs to tear her son into pieces!" "I don't want to!" "And while I still have time" "I will try to gain my rights and my due." "But that is rebellion!" "Rebellion!" "Rebellion?" "I am sorry to hear you call it that." "One can hardly live in rebellion, and I want to live!" "To live!" "But how can you live with this hell in your head?" "Is it possible?" "You won't bear it!" " There is a force that bears everything." " What force?" "The Karamazov force of meanness." "To sink into debauchery, to stifle your soul with corruption?" "Possibly even that..." "But maybe I will avoid it." "But how will you avoid it?" "How?" "In the Karamazov way, again." "Everything is permissible, is that it?" "Yes, if you like." "I won't renounce this formula." "Will you renounce me for that?" "No, I will not." "Let's go, brother." " Yes, let us go." "Listen, Alyosha," "I am probably leaving tomorrow, and if we ever meet again, do not say a word to me on this subject again." "All right." "And don't ever speak to me about Dmitry either." "All right." "Now go to your priest." "He may die there without you." "Kiss me." "Farewell." " Farewell, brother."

"You are a skilful cook, and you play the guitar with heart, and your voice is somehow special..." "You seem some kind of a foreigner..." "But the most noble foreigner!" "I am embarassed to tell you that!" "You are right about the guitar and cookery, Maria Kondratievna, but regarding foreigners, if you care for my opinion, both Russians and foreigners are alike in corruption." "They are all rascals." "But the foreigners wear patent-leather shoes, while our people, damn them, stink in their misery and do not find it bad." "The Russian people should be flogged, as Fiodor Pavlovich observed very correctly yesterday." "Although he is a madman, as well as his children." "But you said you respected Ivan Fiodorovich very much." " Yesterday he said I was a stinking lackey." " No!" " Yes, he did!" "And how is their Dmitry Fiodorovich better than I am, I wonder?" "I may be only a soup maker, but with a little luck..." "I could open a restaurant on Petrovka street in Moscow for, as you observed, my cooking is special." "While Dmitry Fiodorovich cannot do anything, he is a beggar!" "And he is much more stupid than I am." "Look at the money he has frittered away without any need." "But if he challenged some count's son to a duel he'd be accepted, while I wouldn't." "Ivan Fiodorovich is coming." "I'm going." "Go, Maria Kondratievna." "Do not spill your soup!" " Is my father still asleep, or has he waked?" " He is still asleep." "You surprise me, sir." " Why are you surprised?" " Why don't you go to Cheremashnya, sir?" " Why should I go there?" "But Fiodor Pavlovich himself has begged you to go." "Speak clearly." "What do you want?" "Nothing special." "Just making conversation." "I am in an awful position, Ivan Fiodorovich." "I do not know what to do." "What is wrong?" "I presume, sir, that tomorrow I will have a strong falling-sickness attack." "What strong falling-sickness attack?" "It is a strong paroxysm that lasts for two days." "How can you predict a paroxysm in advance?" " That is correct;" "I cannot." " But you say you will have one tomorrow." "I have to go to the attic and then to the cellar;" "I may fall down." "Why, do you mean to pretend to be ill?" "I want to use this measure to save my life." "Because when I am ill, even if Agrafena Aleksandrovna visits your parent," "Dmitry Fiodorovich won't be able to blame me for not reporting to him." "He will be ashamed to do it." " These are only threats and silly words." " I am more afraid to be taken for an accomplice of his when he does something to his father." "Why should you be taken for an accomplice?" "Because I let him know about all the secret signals agreed upon with his father." "What signals?" "These ones." " But how dared you tell him the secret signals?" " I was afraid." "If you think Dmitry will use the signals, do not let him in!" "But what if I have a paroxysm?" " Why, damn it, do you think you will have a paroxysm?" " I have a presentiment." "Then warn Grigory." "Grigory Vasilievich has been very sick since yesterday." "What nonsense!" "You'll have a fit, Grigory is ill..." "Listen..." "But aren't you trying to arrange it?" "Why should I?" "Everything depends upon Dmitry Fiodorovich." "But why should he burst into the house, if this slut does not come at all?" "And why did he burst in yesterday?" "For the same reason." "Also, he knows from me that Fiodor Pavlovich has a big envelope prepared with 3000 in it." "And written on it is:" ""To my birdie"." "This is also suspicious." "Nonsense!" "Dmitry will not come to kill and rob our father." "He is in very great need of money now, in great need of these exact 3000." "And besides, Ivan Fiodorovich, what if Agrafena Aleksandrovna comes here and wants to turn into a lady." "Then, neither you, nor your brothers, would have anything after your father's death, not a rouble." "But if your father died now there'd be some 40,000 for sure for each of you..." "Then why..." "Why on earth do you advise me to go to Chermashnya?" "If I leave, then here..." "Precisely so." "What do you mean by "precisely so"?" "If I were you, I would simply give it all up, and leave immediately..." "You appear to be a big idiot and an awful scoundrel." "I am going to Moscow tomorrow early in the morning." "That's the best thing you can do!" "The best thing..." "Here he is." " But he is drunk!" " Has been drinking for two days." "We need to wake him up!" "Right now!" " I don't have such orders..." "But my business is too important!" "I'm in a hurry." "I need to return today!" " No such orders..." "Mr. Liagavy, Mr. Liagavy!" "Wake up." "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Wake up!" "Damn it!" "Wake up." "Listen, wake up!" "No, you better wait until morning." "For he is obviously not in a fit state." "If only you knew, father, how much I need him." "And how desperate I am now!" "How desperate I am..." "No, you better wait until morning." "Morning?" "It is impossible!" "Impossible!" "Hey!" "Wake up now!" "Mr. Liagavy, wake up!" " Ahhh!" "Fuck you!" "Wake up, damn it!" "What terrible tragedies realism plays with people." "If your business is important, as you say," "then I doubt you will manage anything even if you wake him up." "Wait until morning." "Morning!" "I'll stay here and wait for an opportunity." "I'll begin as soon as he wakes up." "Leave the lamp!" "I'll pay for the candle and for the lodging." " As you wish." "Thank you, father." "But how... how will you get home?" "I will take his mare." "One more thing:" "never call him "Liagavy"." "He hates it." "His name is Gorsky." "Stepan Vlasovich." "I appreciate it, father." "Thank you." "Tragedy!" "Do not cry, son, but rejoice." "Cry not." "Don't you know that this is the greatest of his days?" "Remember where he is now, at this moment!" "Cry if you must, cry dear soul." "Christ has sent you these tears." "The local keeper must have explained to you..." "I am Lieutenant Dmitry Karamazov." "The son of the Karamazov whose grove you are trying to buy." "You're lying." "What do you mean?" "Do you know Fiodor Pavlovich Karamazov, my father?" "I don't know any Pavel Fiodorovich." "A grove..." "You are buying a grove from him!" "Kuzma Kuzmich Samsonov himself sent me to you!" "You are lying." "Listen, it is not a joke!" "Maybe you are drunk..." "But try to understand..." "You are a dyer, a house painter!" "What dyer?" "I am Dmitry Karamazov!" "I have an offer for you, an advantageous offer concerning the grove." "You made a contract with me and left, scoundrel." "I assure you you're mistaken!" "I am Karamazov, Karamazov!" "You're a scoundrel, a scoundrel!" "I don't want to talk to you!" "Hey, coachman, stop." " What do you want?" " Tell me, dear fellow," "Is this the right road to Volovo station?" " It is, sir." "After you walk for about 3 verst, turn right after the bridge." "I'm a scoundrel!" "A scoundrel." " Father, they are coming here!" " I can hear it, son." "Hide in the bedroom." "You do not need to be here." "Casting out, I cast out!" "Satan, get thee out!" "Satan, get thee out!" "Oh, Lord!" "Satan, get thee out!" "What have you come for, worthy Father?" "I came to cast out your visitors, the unclean devils..." "You cast out the evil spirit, but perhaps you are serving him yourself." "And who can say about himself "I am holy"?" "Go away, Father!" "Go away, Father!" "Do not stir up the peace of the flock." "It is not for man to judge, but for God." "Go away, I command thee!" "Go away, go away!" "You are proud and vain here!" "And you stink much!" "Brethren, this place is empty." "Empty!" "Why, why, Lord?" "Why did you allow them to mock the remains of the holy elder?" "Why did you not strike them with your rage, Lord?" "Where is your celestial justice?" "Where is your Providence?" "And your finger, punishing evil?" "Where?" "Alyosha!" "Here you are!" "I've been looking everywhere for you." "Why are you lying here?" "At least look at me!" "Oh, how you are changed!" "Are you angry with someone?" " Leave me alone!" "Oh ho!" "So that's how we are talking." "That's a comedown from the angels." "Is it because your old man has begun to stink?" "Did you seriously believe that he was going to do miracles?" "I believed, I believe, and I want to believe." "What else do you want?" "Nothing at all, my dear." "So now you are in a temper with your God, you are rebelling against him." " I am not rebelling against God;" "I simply don't accept His world." "What do you mean?" "What nonsense is this?" "Have you eaten today?" "I don't remember." "I think I have." "You need to eat, otherwise you will think up devil knows what ideas." "I have a piece of sausage..." "Only you won't eat sausage..." " Give me the sausage!" " Oh, here we are!" "So it's a mutiny, barricades!" "But I suppose vodka is going too far for you." "Give me some vodka, too." "Oh!" "If so, it is a wonderful business then!" "And we should not miss it!" "Get up, let's go!" " Where?" "What do you mean where?" "To the pub!" "Better yet!" "Let's go to Grushenka." "Will you?" "Let's go to Grushenka." "I do not care now." " Who is there?" " It's not him, young lady." "It's Mikhail Osipovich." "Why have you shouted so?" "Ah, it's you, Rakitin." "Who are you with?" "Oh, God!" "Who you have brought!" "Have some candles brought in!" "It's dark!" "Fenya, candles!" "Alyosha, come, my dear." "Do not be afraid!" "I am so glad to see you." "My unexpected visitor!" "You frightened me, Rakitin, I thought it was Mitya breaking in." "Fenya, run out to the gate and find whether the captain is to be seen." "Maybe he is hiding and spying." "I am afraid of him!" "And close the shutters!" " Why are you afraid of him today?" " I'm expecting a message a message that Mitya needs not know of." " And why are you all dressed up?" " I told you: expecting a message." "Should it come, I shall fly away." " Where to?" "If you know too much, you'll get old too soon." "Alyosha, my dear, why are you standing here?" "Come in!" "Come in here, and sit down, please!" "My young moon!" "I must confess that I never expected you to come." "Ah, Rakitin, if you had only brought him yesterday or the day before!" "But I am glad anyway!" "Why are you so sad, Alyosha?" "Are you afraid of me?" " He has a grief." " What grief?" " His elder is rotten." " How so?" "He stinks!" "What a nonsense you are talking." "Be quiet, you fool!" "Will you let me sit on your lap, Alyosha?" "Will you?" "Will you allow me to stay like this?" "Won't you be angry?" "If you tell me to get off, I will!" "Stop this nonsense!" "Better give us some champagne." "You owe me it." "I really do!" "You know, Alyosha, I promised him champagne if he brought you here." "Fenya, bring champagne, the bottle that Mitya left." " Yes, young lady." "Though my thoughts are far away," "I will drink with you." " What is it with you, is it a secret?" " What secret!" "You know it, too." "My officer is coming." " I do know that." "But is he so near?" " He's in Mokroye." "I am expecting a message from there." " Mokroye?" "And what about Mitya?" "Does he know?" " He would kill me if he knew." "But I do not want to think of that." "I want to think of Alyosha here." "Cheer up, my dear!" "Smile at me!" "Ah, he's smiling, he's smiling." "How kindly he looks at me!" "And you know, I was afraid you were angry with me because of that young lady." "I was a cur, it's true." "However, it is good that it happened." "It is bad, and good at the same time." "She called me, wanted to win me over, to seduce me with chocolate." "No, it is good." "But I am still afraid of you being angry." "Alyosha, she is really afraid of a chicken like you." "He is a chicken to you, because you've no conscience." "And I love Alyosha with all my soul." "And what about the officer, the message?" "That's women's way, Alyosha." "Don't you make me angry, Rakitin." "I love Alyosha in a different way." "Believe me, Alyosha, sometimes I look at you" "and feel ashamed." "Ashamed of myself." "Champagne!" "Champagne!" "Here is my dear." "Love me!" "Alyosha, come, take a glass and show yourself." "And you, Grushenka." "What should we drink to?" "To the gates of heaven?" " What gates of heaven?" " No, I'd better not." " And you bragged so!" "Well, then neither will I drink." "Drink the whole bottle, Rakitin!" "If Alyosha drinks, I will also." " What sloppy sentimentality!" "He's got something to grieve over, but what's wrong with you?" "He is rebelling against his God." "Even has eaten a sausage!" " Why so?" "His elder died today, Father Zosimos." "Oh Lord," "I did not know that!" "Do not taunt me, Misha." "I have suffered so much today, that you have no right to reproach me." "You should instead look at her!" "I came here expecting to find an evil soul, because I was evil myself." "Instead I have found a sincere sister, a loving soul." "She has felt sorry for me, has saved me." "She has saved you all right!" "She wanted to swallow you!" "Stop, Rakitin!" "Keep silent!" "And you keep silent, too, Alyosha." "I feel ashamed because of your words." "Do not praise me, do not think me kind!" "I am an evil woman!" "Rakitin is right." "I wanted to swallow you and laugh at you." "I wanted it so much, that I've promised him 25 rubles for bringing you!" " That's nonsense!" " Wait!" "Take it." "You won't refuse, I guess?" "Why should I refuse?" "That will come in handy." " Keep silent now!" "You don't love us, so just hold your tongue." "Why should I?" "What have you done for me?" "Love without reason, as Alyosha does." " Alyosha does!" "How has he shown it?" "Why are you making such a fuss over him?" "Shut up!" "How dare you be so familiar?" "How dare you be so blunt!" " Are you mad?" " Sit in the corner and be quiet as a lackey!" "I will tell Alyosha all the truth myself." "You, Alyosha, did not know anything." "When you passed me, you dropped your eyes." "I've looked at you a hundred times before today." "Your face haunted my heart." ""He despises me," I thought," ""He won't even look at me."" "And why, why?" "Nobody in the town, God knows, nobody here dares to talk or think of coming to me for bad business." "Kuzma Kuzmich is the only man I have anything to do with here." "I was bound and sold to him," "Satan married us." "I was angry at you then, so angry!" "And I decided to swallow you up and laugh at you!" "So you see what a spiteful bitch I am." "And you called me your sister." "Don't!" "Why are you saying this?" "And now that man who wronged me has come." "I sit here waiting for a message from him." "And no one in the whole world knows and cannot know how I am feeling now!" "What is in my heart." "Maybe I'll take a knife with me to Mokroye, and pay him, pay him for everything!" "And maybe I will crawl like a dog!" "Don't, don't..." "Mistress, mistress, a messenger is here!" "He brought a carriage for you and a letter!" "He has sent for me." "Crawl back, little dog!" "I am going!" "Farewell, Alyosha!" "My fate is sealed!" "Let me kiss you, my dear!" "Maybe I am going to my doom." "Now go ..." "Get out of here." "Get out all of you!" "Farewell, Rakitin!" "Grushenka is flying away to a new life!" "Alyosha, my dear... give my greetings to Mitya... and tell him to remember me, the villain, kindly." "And add ... that Grushenka loved him for only 1 hour." "Let him remember that hour... for all his life!" "She kills your brother, and then tells him to remember it all his life!" "What a sarcophagy!" "You will probably despise me for those 25 rubles." "As if I've sold you." "But you are not Christ, you know, and I am not Judas." "Stop it, Misha, please." "Move!" "Look, look!" "It was your brother in the carriage." "Indeed, Mitya!" "Where is he coming from?" "He took the wrong way." "He should have gone to Grushenka; it would be funny!" "Let's go." " Go, Misha." "I won't go to the monastery." " How come?" "What's wrong?" " I will go to Dmitry and stay there." " Hey, wait!" "Hey!" "Marfa Osipovna!" "Has anyone asked for me?" "Has anyone come here?" "Your brother came twice yesterday, sir, asked for you." "And the red-haired one, too." " Smerdiakov?" " Yes, him." " And did Agrafena Aleksandrovna come or ask?" " No, sir, she did not." "All right then." " Who's there?" " It's me, Marfa Osipovna." "Where's my brother?" "Where is Dmitry?" "I saw him coming just now." "Where is he?" "Why did you scream?" "Grusha..." "Grusha..." "Grushenka!" "Where..." "Where is she?" "I do not know sir, dear." "I do not know anything..." "Fenya, in the name of Christ, tell me where she is!" "I swear to God, sir, I know nothing." "I know nothing." "You can kill me, but I know nothing!" "You can kill me..." "You're lying, damn you!" "From your fright, I can tell where she is." "I know!" "Oh Lord!" "He's going to kill someone!" "Grushenka!" "Grushenka!" "Where are you, my little sweetie?" "Come, come here." "Don't be afraid, my little chickie!" "I'm alone here, alone." "God, what a storm!" "What are you standing!" "Why haven't you closed the window?" "I'm going." "I'm going to my father." "What a storm this is!" "Oh, Lord!" "Our mistress is out in this." "What will become of her?" "Stepan's carriage is covered." "She'll get there without getting wet." "You..." "You lied to me, villain!" "Tell me now where she is!" "Tell me!" "Talk!" "Get away, old woman!" "In Mokroye!" "In Mokroye!" "She went to her officer." "What officer?" "To the same one who had left her, and she said not to tell you anything." "To the same one..." "How can that be?" "And why, why?" "Your hands are all bloody, Dmitry Fiodorovich." "And your face too!" "Yes, that's blood." "Human blood, Fenya." "And why was it shed?" "Oh God!" "There's a fence, Fenya, a very high one..." "a scary one..." "Tomorrow when the sun rises" "Mitya will leap over that fence." "You probably don't understand what fence, Fenya..." "You don't understand..." "Never mind." "You'll hear tomorrow and understand everything..." "And now farewell." "Forgive me, and farewell." "Dear sir, Dmitry Fiodorovich, don't hurt my mistress!" "I have told you everything!" "Don't hurt her, dear sir!" "Mitya won't hurt anyone else." "And don't cry, good girl, don't cry and stand up." "I won't hurt Grushenka and will disappear, disappear forever." "She loved Mitya Karamazov for 1 hour." "She called me Mitenka all the time." "Mitenka..." "Mitenka..." "Forgive me, Fenya." "And pardon me." "And you, Matryona, forgive me." "And if you don't forgive me, it's all the same." "Hey, host, open up!" "Oh, Dmitry Fiodorovich!" "Open the gates, Kuzma!" "Is it really you, Dmitry Fiodorovich!" "Is it really you!" "Wait, Trifon Borisovich, first and foremost, where is she?" "Agrafena Aleksandrovna?" "She is here!" " With whom?" " Some visitors, one must be a Polish official, and another is his friend." "Are they feasting?" "Are they rich?" " Poor sort of feast." " Who else?" " Two gentlemen from our town." "Only that?" "And she?" "How is she?" "Is she merry?" "Is she laughing?" "Not very much." "She doesn't look merry." "Now listen to me, Trifon." "In about an hour, wine, savouries, pies will be brought from town." "Bring them all up at once..." "Open this box and serve champagne at once." "And bring the gypsies!" "It's important!" "200 rubles for gypsies!" " I see." " Andrey, here is your pay.." " Sir, that is too much." "Take it." "And remember Karamazov!" "And you, Trifon, lead me upstairs and let me watch them secretly." "Excuse me, gentlemen..." "May a traveler join you until morning?" "I am travelling, too..." "Do not be afraid!" "I won't..." "Only until morning!" "For the last time!" "This is a private party, sir." "There are other rooms." " Only until morning, gentlemen!" "Why it's you, Dmitry Fiodorovich, sit down with us." "Hello, my dear, precious fellow." " How tight you squeeze!" " He always squeezes like that." " Hello, Dmitry Fiodorovich!" " Hello!" "You are here, too!" "I am so glad!" "Gentlemen, I hurried here, I wanted to spend my last hour here, in this very room, where I adored my queen." "It's my last night, gentlemen." "A worm, a useless worm!" "A worm crawls and disappears!" "Let's drink, gentlemen!" "Wine will be served now!" "Hey, the wine!" "I brought this." "I want singing, music, noise, thunder!" "As it was that night!" "The way my quiin wishes." "Quiin, quiin..." "You talk funny!" "Sit down, Mitya, and don't frighten me." "If you don't, I am glad to see you." "Me, me frighten you?" "Oh, pass me by, go your way, I won't hinder you!" "I won't..." " What a fellow you are!" "Mitya, why are you crying?" " I am not crying..." "I am not crying..." "Stop it!" "There is no reason!" "Cheer up!" "I'm glad you're here, very glad, Mitya, do you hear!" "I want him to stay here with us." "If he goes away, I shall go, too!" "What my queen commands is a law!" "I beg you to join our company, sir." "Gentlemen, let us drink!" "Let us all drink!" "I'm feeling dry." "All, all, gentlemen!" "Here you are, gentlemen!" "All, all, gentlemen!" "Here you are!" "Everybody!" "Let us drink, gentlemen!" "And fraternize..." "Why are we sitting this way?" "Gentlemen, what should we do..." "Something cheerful, huh?" "We are really quite dull..." " Play cards, maybe?" " Cards?" "Wonderful!" "What do you say, gentlemen?" " It's late..." "It's true." "It's always late with them." "They can never do anything!" "They are dull and want everyone to be dull, too." "Before you came, Mitya, they were just silent and kept turning up their noses at me." "My Goddess, I see that you do not love me, my queen, that's why I'm gloomy." "Well, let's start, sir!" "I want to lose a lot to you." "Bring the cards, I will be the bank." "If my queen wishes..." "But the cards should be the host's." " Most illustrious, two words with you." " What do you want?" "In the next room, I've two good words for you." "You'll be glad to hear them." "What?" "The body-guard?" "Let him come, too." "He must come!" "Well, let us go, sir." " Where are you going?" " We'll be back in one moment." "What can I do for you, sir?" "Here is the deal." "Do you want 3,000 rubles?" "Take it and get out of here!" "Three thousand?" "Three, sir, three!" "Take it and get out of here!" "And take your body-guard!" "And forever!" "Do you understand?" "You can go through this door." "What have you got here?" "A fur coat?" "I'll bring it to you." "They'll get the horses out directly, and then... good-bye!" "And the money, sir?" "The money?" "500 now in advance, and 2500 tomorrow in town." "700, 700, not 500, at once!" "What's the matter, sir?" "Don't you trust me?" "I cannot give you the 3000 now." "If I give it, you may come back to her tomorrow." "Besides I do not have the whole 3000 with me." "I've got it at home in town." "What next?" "For shame!" "You spit because you hope to make more out of Grushenka!" "Capons!" " Madam Agrippina..." " I am Agrafena!" "Grushenka!" "Madam Agrafena..." "I came here to forget the past and forgive you." "Forgive?" "You came here to forgive ME?" "That's right, madam." "I'm not a coward, I'm honorable." "Mr. Mitya offered me 3000 in the other room to depart." "I spat in his face." "What?" "He offered you money for me?" "Is it true, Mitya?" " Please, she's pure and shining!" " Don't you dare defend me before him!" "And did he actually accept the money?" "He wanted to, wanted to!" "Only he wanted all 3000 at once, but I could only give him 700 in advance." " Now I know why he came!" " Madam Agrippina," "I am a nobleman, not a lackey." "I came here to make you my wife, and I find you a different woman, not the same as before!" "Shameless and depraved!" "Go back where you came from then!" "I've been a fool to be miserable because of such a man!" "And it is not him at all!" "Not him!" "That one was a falcon, a joyful one, sang me songs!" "And this one?" "A drake!" "A bold drake!" "Where did you buy this wig?" "She is a whore!" "Dear sir, you'll follow him right away!" "Madam Agrippina, if you want, come with me." "If not, farewell." "Well, dear sir..." "Go!" "Oh, God!" "What a shame!" "What a shame!" "Damned be those 5 years!" "Damned!" "Damned!" "Grushenka, Grushenka!" "Romani!" "Sing!" "Why are you sad?" "Why do you keep frowning?" "Nothing ... nothing ..." "I left a man sick in the city." "If I knew he'd get better..." "I'd give 10 years of my life." "Never mind him if he's sick!" "Never mind!" "Did you, Mitya, really want to let him have me?" "No, I didn't want to ruin your happiness." "You are a silly boy, it's such silly ones that I love." "When you came then, my heart sank." ""You fool, that's the one you love" - it whispered to me." "And you were afraid when you came here!" " Yes..." " Afraid of me!" "Mitya... my falcon... how could I be such a fool... and think that I loved another!" "Grusha, Grusha!" "Wait!" "Go, go..." "Go, go enjoy yourself." "Go, go enjoy yourself." "I am joyful, so should you be!" "Parting with him, she said:" "Don't forget me in a foreign land." "I loved only you" "And saved my love as a shrine." "I loved only you" "And saved my love as a shrine." "Only you I trusted" "With my secret thoughts and words," "Only you I allowed" "To kiss my swarthy shoulders." "Only you I allowed" "To kiss my swarthy shoulders." "Only for you I can" "Blush in front of the severe world." "I will lie and take an oath for you" "With my tears, smile and word." "Oh, my God, make a miracle!" "Revive the prostrate!" "Let this bitter cup pass from me." "What is it, Borisich?" " Nothing." " Are you looking for me?" " No, why should I look for you?" " You must be angry that we stay until so late!" " No, not at all." " What time is it?" " It's past three." " Wait a little." "I'll finish soon." "As you wish..." "Mitya, Mitya!" "Life is so good, isn't it?" "Although we are nasty, we are still good!" "Nasty and good!" "Tell me, am I good?" "I am very good!" "You are divine!" "Divine!" "Everything is spinning in my head:" "the stove and the table..." "I want to dance!" "Let everybody see how well I dance!" "I'm weak..." "Forgive me..." "Mitya, Mitya!" "Kiss me, kiss me hard!" "But don't touch me." "I am yours, but don't touch me." "Spare me!" "It's filthy here." " No, of course not here." "I know, although you're a beast, you're a noble one." "We must be honest and decent." "Not beasts, but good people." "Take me away!" "Far, far away!" "I don't want to be here." "Far away, surely far away!" "I love you." "Only you." "I'll love you forever in Siberia." "Why Siberia?" "Never mind, it's nice in Siberia." "There's snow in Siberia." "I love driving through the snow." "...there must be a bell..." "Do you hear the bell tinkling?" " Yes." "Where is this bell tinkling?" "Now it's stopped tinkling." "Did I fall asleep?" " Yes." "Yes, the bell!" "I slept and had a dream." "As if I were riding through the snow..." "Riding with you..." "The bell was tinkling, tinkling..." "Come here, please." "Please, here."

"We have... in brief, it is necessary to have a talk with you immediately." "The old man!" "The old man and his blood." "I understand." "You understand?" "Damned killer!" " It is impossible, it is not right, Mikhail Makarovich!" " But this is ridiculous!" "But this is ridiculous!" " Let me handle this alone, please!" "Retired Lieutenant Karamazov, sir, you are charged with the murder of your father, Fiodor Pavlovich Karamazov, which occurred tonight." "It is me, cursed me, who is guilty." "It was because of me that he was killed!" "Me!" "It is my fault!" "You!" "You are guilty!" "You violent, you depraved!" "This is completely out of order!" "Mikhail Makarovich, you are spoiling the case!" "Judge us together!" "Punish us both!" "I will go with him even to death!" "Grusha, my life, my sacred one!" "I am not guilty of this blood!" "I wanted to kill!" "Wanted, but did not kill!" "I am not guilty of my father's blood!" "So you are claiming not to be guilty of your father's blood?" "I am not guilty." "I am guilty of another's blood." "Of the blood of old Grigory." "And I mourn it." "You are worrying about the servant Grigory in vain." "He is alive." "Alive in spite of the heavy beating." "Alive?" "Alive!" "So he is alive!" "Lord, I thank Thee for the miracle..." "Thou has wrought for me, a sinner, in response to my prayer." " So from that very Grigory..." " One minute, gentlemen." "One minute only..." "I will run to her..." " Stay!" "This is absolutely not allowed!" "What a pity, gentlemen, what a pity!" "I wanted to tell her... that the blood has been washed away and disappeared." "That I am not a murderer now." "Gentlemen, she is my fiancee, the queen of my soul." "Did you hear her screaming "With you even to the death!"" "And what have I given her?" "I, a pauper, a clumsy shameful creature!" "And she prostrated herself before you just now!" "How can I not worship her, not long for her!" "But pardon, pardon, gentlemen." "I am consoled now." "You have brought me back to life, revived me!" "How can I thank you, gentlemen!" " So, you...." " One moment, please, excuse me..." "One moment, please..." "All this is horribly upsetting, horribly." "A man is not made of wood, gentlemen, is he." " Come in." "You, Nikolay Parfenovich, are a most skillful lawyer, but I will help you myself now." "And do not be offended at my addressing you so simply, gentlemen." "I understand that a horrible suspicion lies on me." "But I think, gentlemen, that we will put an end to it in a minute." "Because if I know that I am innocent, we will surely put an end to it in a minute, won't we?" "So, for the present, we will write that you deny the charge brought against you." "But this is a wild idea!" "Wild!" "I am guilty of drinking and debauchery, but I am not guilty of my old father's murder." "I will prove it!" "You will be convinced..." "You will laugh at your suspicions!" "You will roar with laughter at your suspicions!" "It seems you disliked the deseased Fiodor Pavlovich, you were at odds with him." "Half an hour ago you even said here that you wanted to kill him, but did not." "Yes, unfortunately, gentlemen, unfortunately I did want to kill him..." "I understand that in this case terrible evidence lies on me." "I told everyone that I would kill him, and all of a sudden, he's been killed." "Who has killed him then, if it wasn't me?" "If it wasn't me, then who?" "Who?" "Tell me after all, gentlemen, where and how was he killed?" "How and with what?" "I want to know." "I demand it!" " We found him in his study, lying on his back, with his head battered in..." "That's horrible, gentlemen!" "Horrible..." "Oh, my God, my God!" "Holy Mother of God!" "What a sin!" "What a sin!" "Stop, Maksimych." "You've worn me out!" "Whimpering and whimpering!" " I am afraid of the authorities, Agrafena Aleksandrovna." "Well, you grabbed a pestle, and what happened next?" "Next, I killed him!" "Hit him on top of the head, split his skull, is it what you think?" " And what do you think?" "Well, I think it was like this." "Whether it was someone's tears, or my mother's prayers, or that a good angel kissed me," "I do not know." "But the devil was conquered." "I rushed from the window and ran to the fence..." "Here my father recognized me, cried out, and sprang back from the window." "I remember this very well." "I ran across the garden to the fence... and there Grigory caught up with me, grabbed my leg, and I hit him." "You're laughing at me now, gentlemen, aren't you?" " Why do you think so?" " Because you don't believe one word of mine." "You are mockers!" " Do you know this object?" "It must be my father's envelope, where 3000 was kept..." "And an inscription, excuse me..." "Yes, do you see?" "3000!" "You see?" " We see." "But it was empty lying on the floor." "So you knew where the envelope was." "I did not know!" "Never!" "I see it now for the first time." "I heard about it from Smerdyakov before." "Only he knew where the old man hid the envelope." "And I didn't..." " Fine!" " Where did you get so much money all of a sudden?" " That money was mine." " How so?" " Excuse me, but you said..." " It was my money." " But where did you get it from?" " I took it off my neck gentlemen; it was here, round my neck, sewn up in a rag." " And from whom did you... appropriate it?" " You mean "steal it"?" "Yes, it was essentially stolen, but not from my father." "Not from my father, but from..." "You are not worthy to know it, it is not needed." " Excuse me!" "I took it from my former fiancee, Katerina Ivanovna Verhovtseva." "Do you know her?" " We certainly do." "One month ago she gave me 3000 to send to Moscow." "And I..." "It was at the moment when I fell in love." "With another." "I grabbed her and brought here to Mokroe, and wasted here half of that damn 3000." " And where is the other half?" "The other half I kept, and wore it here, on my neck, instead of an amulet." "It is almost miraculous." "Almost miraculous." "It is interesting." "Record this." "And what did you want to spend these 1500 on?" " Well..." "My deceased father..." "He bothered Agrafena Aleksandrovna, and I..." "I was jealous." "And I was waiting every day:" "what if she suddenly tells me," ""I love you." "Take me to the ends of the earth."" "And I'd have only two twenty-copeck coins." "Why I'd be lost." "So I maliciously counted half of the 3000 and sewed it up... and after that I came here with the other half to get drunk." "Isn't it mean, gentlemen?" " I think it is reasonable; you didn't squander it all." "God, how you horrify me by not understanding!" "Why, every day I called myself a thief!" "A thief!" "Only yesterday I opened this amulet." "And at that very moment I became a dishonest man and a thief for the rest of my life!" "But why was it yesterday that you decided to open it?" "Because I had decided to end my life at dawn." "It is nerves." "Your sick nerves, that's what it is." "And why didn't you, for example, return these 1500 to the lady... and, explaining yourself, ask her for the amount you needed?" "Gentlemen!" "Human emotions' combination can't reach such baseness!" "To go to her and explain my unfaithfullness, and ask her, Katya, for money for that very treason!" "It would stink so much!" "Are you out of your mind, prosecutor?" " Was this amulet on your neck big?" " No, it wasn't!" " What size was it?" " Fold a 100 rubles note - that's the size!" "Where and when did you remove it from your neck?" "When I was going home to get pistols, I tore it off and took out the money." " In the darkness?" " Why a candle?" " Without scissors?" "What scissors?" "It was a rag, it was torn in seconds!" " Where did you throw it?" " Throw what?" " The rag." " I threw it right there." " Where exactly?" " On the square, hell knows where!" " And where did you get the rag?" " I don't remember." "I think I tore it off something." " What was the rag made of?" "Canvas or linen?" " Hell knows what it was made of!" " And where did you get the needle?" " What?" " Needle." "You see, gentlemen, sometimes I have a dream." "I have it often." "As if someone is chasing me." "Someone I am very afraid of." "He's chasing and looking for me." "And I am hiding from him in humiliation." "And more important is that he knows perfectly well where I am hiding." "He's pretending on purpose not to know... where I am to torture me longer, to enjoy my fear." "That's what you are doing now." "It looks like it." "Only it's not a dream, but life's realism, gentlemen." "I am a wolf, and you are hunters." "So hunt the wolf." "I ask you to put all your belongings on the table, mainly the money." " Here is my money." " I have to perform a most detailed examination of your clothes." "You will have to take off your clothes." "How take off?" "Damn it, examine them like this!" "It is impossible." "You will have to take off your clothes." "As you wish." "But maybe not here, maybe behind the curtain?" "Of course, behind the curtain." "Please." "Excuse me!" "Blood." "Yes, blood." "Fine." "Gentlemen, gentlemen..." "I see I am lost." "But what about her?" "I beg you, tell me what you will do to her?" "May I say goodbye?" " Certainly, but only in my sight." "Farewell, Agrafena Aleksandrovna." "Have faith in God and in me." "I am not guilty of my father's blood!" "I believe you, dear, I do." "Remeber, Mitya, that I am yours." "And will be yours." "Wherever they send you," "I will be with you forever." "Forgive me for my love!" "Forgive me for ruining you, too, with my love." "Where should I sit, cheif?" "On the cart, where else." "Accompany him!" "Province prison" "Here he comes, fellows!" " Brother, tomorrow is a horrible and a great day for you..." " What are you talking about?" "The trial?" " Yes, the trial." "Did you talk to the lawyer?" " Yes, I did." "He doesn't believe me in the least, city rascal." ""Why then," I asked, "did you come to defend me?"" "To hell with him..." "But Grusha is killing me." "Why will she accept such a torment now?" "Have you seen her?" " I have." "She told me she had visited you." "I worship her, Alyosha." "Will they let us marry there?" "Do they marry state convicts?" " Do they?" " I don't know." " If not, I will die of jealosy, I will!" "Why does Rakitin come here?" "What does he want?" "He wants to write an article about my case." "To make his literary career through that." "He thinks I am a scoundrel." "He is clever." "Speaks well, knows a lot." "But he doesn't love God." "Doesn't love at all!" "I asked him: "How can you do without God?" "Who will a man love then?" "Who will he be afraid of?" "Who will he sing a hymn to?" "Because then everything is allowed." "Everything!"" ""Didn't you know that?" says Rakitin and laughs." ""To an intelligent man," he says, "anything is allowed." "An intelligent man knows how to fish."" ""You have killed," he says, "and got caught, and are rotting in prison," he says to me." "A regular pig!" "I used to slap his like on the face, but now I listen to them." ""You got caught because of 3000 like a fool," he says, "and I will get 150 000!"" ""I will marry a certain widow, buy a stone house in Petersburg and start to publish a newspaper."" "What a pig!" "Real pig!" "Brother, you surprise me." "The trial is tomorrow, and you are talking about God knows what!" "What about the trial?" "I am not afraid of it now." "I used to be, but I have thought so much inside of these shabby walls." "So much force has grown in me, that it seems I will conquer it all, all the suffering, all the torments." "I just need to tell myself that I am alive, I exist," "I see the sun." "And if I don't see it there, underground, in the mines, I will know it exists." "And to know the sun exists - that's life, Alyosha!" "That's life!" "Rakitin does not understand this..." "All he dreams of is buying a house and having lodgers." "And brother Ivan..." " What of brother Ivan?" " Ivan is a sphinx." "He keeps silent and hides an idea." "There is no God in him." "He has an Idea." "He is probably a freemason." "I asked him, wanted to drink from the springs of his soul." "He keeps silent." "Only once he spoke." "What did he say?" ""Our father," he says, "was a piglet, but he thought correctly"." "Imagine that!" "It is better that Rakitin!" " When did he come to you?" "What else did he say?" "He suggests that I escape to America!" "With Grusha!" "I can't go without her." "But I can't stand those slaves." "They are not my kind." "I love Russia, Alyosha, and Russian God, although I am a scoundrel myself." "But who invented it, this America story?" "Ivan did." "But don't tell him... that I told you." "It is a secret!" "He insists strongly!" "Hysterically!" " But why, why did he tell you not to tell me?" " He is afraid that you will be my conscience." "But without you, without your consent, I won't make up my mind." "You are everything to me." "You are my High Court." "Do you, brother, have no hope at all of being acquitted?" "Visiting time is over..." "It's time for you to go, Alyosha." "Embrace me." "And bless me for tomorrow's cross." "And Ivan suggests an escape, while he believes I have killed." " Did you ask him about it?" " No, what for?" "I can see it in his eyes." "Now goodbye." "Wait!" "Alexey!" "Wait!" "Tell me the truth, the real truth, like before God!" "Do you believe I killed him?" " Stop, brother." " But do not lie to me, do not lie!" " Never!" "Not for one second did I think that you are a murderer." "Thank you." "Thank you." "You have given me new life." "Thank you." "Go now, God bless you, go." " Ah, It's you." "Are you going to her?" " Yes." "I do not advise you to;" "she's rather upset." "No, Alexey Fiodorovich!" "Have you come from him?" "Yes, I have been with him in prison." " Come in, Alyosha." "And you, Ivan Fiodorovich, come back, certainly come back." "Do you hear?" "She was overhearing." "Let me keep my greatcoat on." "I won't stay more than a minute." "And I am in a hurry, too." "What did he ask you to tell me, Alexey Fiodorovich?" "Nothing today." "But yesterday he said to tell you that you should spare yourself... and shouldn't testify in court about what happened between you that, as he called it, "fatal night"." " Who should I spare - him or myself?" " Both yourself and him." "There you are!" "You do not know me yet, Alexey Fiodorovich." "Perhaps you will want to trample me after the trial tomorrow." "You should testify everything honestly, only honestly." "Women are often dishonest." "Only an hour ago I was thinking that I felt afraid to touch that monster... as though he were a reptile..." "But no, he is still a human being to me!" "But did he kill after all?" "Was it him who killed?" "Today I went to see Smerdyakov." "It was you, only you who persuaded me... that Dmitry is a patricide!" " Well, that's enough!" "I'm going." " Where are you going?" "Ivan Fiodorovich!" "Go after him, Alyosha." "He is insane." "He has a fever!" "Run, run after him!" "Ivan, wait!" "Wait." "What do you want?" "She told you to catch me because I'm mad." "I know it all by heart." "She is mistaken, of course, but you are ill, Ivan." "You look very ill." " Do you know, Aleksey, how people go insane?" " No, I do not." "Can one observe by himself that he is going mad?" "I think one cannot." "Now she will spend the night thinking... what to do tomorrow at the trial." "Whether to be a saviour or a ruiner." " Who, Katerina Ivanovna?" " She thinks I am her nanny, wants me to lull her and to guide her." " But she loves you, Ivan." "Loves!" " Maybe, but I am not very keen on her." "Why do you... sometimes say such words that give her hope?" "I cannot break it off with her properly now." "If I do, she will ruin that scoundrel in court tomorrow." "For she hates him." "It is all lies - lie upon lie!" "But how can she ruin our brother?" "What things can she testify?" "She has a document in her hands in Mitya's own writing that states that he killed Aesop." " That is impossible!" " I have read it myself." "This document cannot exist, because he did not kill father!" "Then, in your opinion, who killed him, Alexey Fiodorovich?" "You know who yourself." " Who?" "Smerdyakov?" " You know who yourself." "Who?" "Who?" "Speak, damn it!" "I know only one thing, Ivan, it was not you who killed our father." ""Not you", "not you"!" "What do you mean by "not you"?" "It was not you who killed, Ivan, not you!" "You are delirious, brother." "I know that I didn't." "No, you have told yourself several times that it was you." " When did I say so?" "When?" " I do not know." "But I somehow think that you blame yourself." "Alexey Fiodorovich, I cannot stand prophets and epileptics." "You know that only too well." "I ask you here, on this crossroad, to leave me and never come to me again!" "Do you hear?" "Never!" "Brother!" "Who is it?" "Open up." "It's me, Karamazov!" "Coming." "Pavel Fiodorovich is very sick." " Is he asleep?" " Not asleep, but like mad." "He didn't even want to take tea." " Is he violent?" " No, on the contrary." "He is very quiet." "You are really sick." "I will not keep you long." "Where can I sit?" "Why are you staring so silently?" "I have one question to ask." "Has Katerina Ivanovna visited you?" "What's the matter with you?" " It's nothing." " What do you mean by "nothing"?" " Yes, she has." "Why do you care?" "When was it?" "I do not remember." "You seem to be ill yourself." "How hollow-cheeked you have become..." "Leave my health alone." "Talk about the things I ask you." "And your eyes have grown yellow." "Are you suffering?" "Stand up, stinky raskal, and answer the questions." "Has she been here or not?" "Why do you worry so much?" "Is it about the trial starting tomorrow?" "Nothing will happen to you." "Go home and don't be afraid of anything." " I don't understand what I have to be afraid of." "You don't understand?" "It is strange that a sensible man should continue to play such a farce!" "Go home, it was not you who killed." " I know myself that it was not I." " Do you?" "Well, in that case it was you." "You mean that day..." "our conversation at the gate?" "You are mad." "Mad!" "You murdered him, you are the real murderer." "I was only your faithful servant." "I did it like you taught me." "What do you mean you did it?" "So you killed him?" "You really didn't know anything?" "You know," "I am afraid that you are... a dream, a ghost." "There is no ghost here, only two of us... and one other." "Who?" "What third person?" "Where?" "Where?" "Do not search, you won't find him." "The third is God, Providence." "You are lying!" "Lying that you killed him!" "Wait a minute." "Here." "What is it?" "Please, take a look." "Your hands tremble." "It is all here, all 3000." "Take it." "You really didn't know anything?" "No, I did not know." "I thought it was Dimitry all the time." "Oh, brother!" "Brother!" "Listen." "Did you kill him alone?" "Or together with him?" "Together with you only." "It is so stuffy here." "Why do I keep trembling?" "I can't say a word." "You were brave then." "Everything is allowed, you said." "But now you are cowed." "Would you like some tea?" "I'll have it made." "No, no, I do not want anything." "Tell me how you did it." "You'd better take off your coat, or you will be too hot." "Tell me!" "Tell me everything!" "How did I do it?" "Everything was done most naturally." "Following your very words." "Later about my words!" "But tell me everything in detail and in order!" "So after you left, I fell into the cellar..." "In a real fit or did you fake it?" "I faked it, naturally." "Continue!" "Continue!" "Don't delay!" "They laid me on the bed on the other side of the partition." "I laid there, moaning quietly, waiting for Dmitry Fiodorovich." "Waiting for him?" "To come to you?" " Why to me?" "I expected him to come into the house to the gentleman." " And if he hadn't come?" "Well, then nothing would have happened." "I would never have made up my mind to do that alone." " Wait!" "But if he had killed him, have taken the money and carried it away, what would you have gotten for it afterwards?" "But he would never have found the money." "I told him that the money was under the mattress, but the envelope was hidden in the corner behind the icon." "Wait..." "I am getting confused." "Then it was Dmitry who killed him, and you only took the money?" "No, it was you who killed." "You are the real killer." "Why, why, damn you, am I the murderer?" "Did I want it?" "Did I tell you to do it?" "You didn't tell me anything, it is true." "You didn't want to do it yourself, and you could not." "But you wanted someone else to kill him, that you did." "But why would I want him dead?" "Why?" "And what about your inheritance?" "Each of you got 40 000 after your father's murder." "And if Dmitry Fiodorovich is convicted, you will get another 20 000." "Listen, you miserable man!" "If I don't kill you right now... it is only because I need you tomorrow at the trial!" "God sees perhaps that I secretly desired my father's death, I did!" "But, I swear, I am not as guilty as you think." "Nor did I urge you on!" "No, I did not!" "But anyway I will give evidence against myself tomorrow, at the trial." "I shall tell everything!" "Everything!" "But you too, tyrant, must confess it all!" "You must!" "We will go together!" "And if you don't go, I will confess alone." "Alone!" "There'll be nothing of the sort; you won't go." "You will be too much ashamed." "And then I shall say straight out that I never said anything of the sort, and that you have invented it all against me," "for you've always thought no more of me than if I'd been a fly." "While I am your own brother." "I am as much Karamazov as you are." "You, you are my brother?" "You, my brother?" "How?" "You did not know?" "We have the same daddy." "I even have the same patronymic as you." "You're a scum, a nobody." "You're a lackey." "A stinky lackey!" "You don't believe me?" "Never mind." "Take the money." "Why do you give it to me?" "I don't want it." "At all." "I did have a dream of beginning a new life in Moscow with so much money." "Or, better still, somewhere abroad." "There was a dream, for you have taught me:" "there is no God and everything is allowed." "And now, I suppose, you believe in God, since you are giving back the money?" "No," "I don't believe yet." "Then why give it back?" "Enough." "You used to say that everything was allowed, and now you want to confess." "But it won't happen." "You won't go!" " I certainly will." "It is not possible." "You are too clever." "Here, take the money." "I shall show it at the court tomorrow." " No one will believe you!" " I repeat, you miserable man, if I haven't killed you, it is because I need you tomorrow." "Then kill me, kill me now." "Kill me!" "You won't dare!" "You won't dare to do anything, former brave man..." "I hate you, I hate you all!" "I hate your little monk, too." "And Mitya!" "I hate all Russia!" "Wait!" "What do you want?" "Show it to me, once more." "My dream..." "Farewell!" "Till tomorrow!" "Maybe I should go to the prosecutor right away and explain everything?" "Tell him everything?" "No, tomorrow, tomorrow." "Everything tomorrow." "Why haven't you gone to the prosecutor then?" "Tomorrow, tomorrow," "everything tomorrow." "You!" "You're here again?" " Where should I be?" "It is cold and snowing outside." " No, I am not afraid of you." "You are my dream, my illness, my meanness." "But I'll overcome you, damn sponger." "Sponger?" "That's charming." "Who am I on Earth if not a sponger?" "You know, I like it that we are on familiar terms." " Fool." "You think that I'd be formal with you?" "You are the incarnation of myself, of my thoughts and feelings, the nastiest and stupidest of them." "I just don't know how I can destroy you." "I will wet a towel in cold water," "wrap it around my head, and maybe you will disappear." " Today you are especially upset..." " Shut up, you fool!" "I understand it." "A great decision!" "Tomorrow you are going to defend your brother in court." "You want to nobly sacrifice yourself." "Shut up, lackey!" "That is stupid after all!" "You think I am a dream, and at the same time you throw things at that dream!" "It is in a feminine way." "You are just angry at me because I didn't present myself in a red aureole, shining and thundering, with my wings scorched." "Instead I appeared in such a poor state." "How can such a miserable devil come to such a great man." "How stupid you are!" "You are awfully stupid and banal." "Here you go again." "You'd better light the fire, because my rheumatism is acting up." " Can the devil have rheumatism?" " And why not?" "If I take the form of a human sometimes, then I must suffer the consequences." "Although I am Satan, nothing human is alien to me." "That is smart." "I am glad I have pleased you." "Wait, where have I caught this rheumatism?" "Ah..." "It was there." " There?" "Where is there?" "Well there, at our place." "I was hurrying to a diplomatic soiree at the house of a lady in Petersburg." "How stupid you are." "You want to convince me that you exist through this rheumatism of yours." "But I never, you hear, never... will believe it!" "I haven't the hundredth part of a grain of faith in you!" "But you have the thousandth of a grain, don't you?" "Not for one minute, scoundrel, not even for one second!" "It is in vain..." "There has already been once on your Earth such a thinker and philosopher who rejected everything:" "laws, conscience, faith, and, above all, the future life." "He died." "He thought he would go directly to darkness and death, but there was a future life before him!" "He was astounded and indignant." ""This is against my principles!"" "Stop, I've caught you!" "I thought up this anecdote myself when I was still in gymnasium." "I've caught you!" "I've caught you!" "No, it's me who has caught you." "I told you your own anecdote to destroy your faith in me completely." "You are lying." "The object of your visit is to convince me of your existence." "Exactly." "But hesitation, anxiety, conflict between belief and disbelief... is such a torture to a contrite man, such as you are." "It's better to hang yourself at once." "I'm leading you between faith and doubt, back and forth." "Listen, maybe you yourself don't believe in God?" " What can I say...?" "That is, if you are in earnest..." " Is there a God or not?" " I don't know, my dear fellow, I don't know." "You don't know, but you see God?" "You see, but you don't believe?" "No, no!" "You're not you!" "You're me!" "Me!" "Me!" "Me!" "We share the same philosophy, the same convictions." "And listen, it's time to destroy the very idea of God in mankind." "That is how we need to begin." "As soon as mankind renounces God, man himself will glory in the spirit of titanic pride, and the man-god will come." "And in this new rank man will overcome any moral barrier light-heartedly." "For there is no law for a god everything will be allowed to him!" "Everything!" "Everything!" "And that's the end of it!" "Leave me alone!" "Leave me!" "You're hammering in my brain like an awful nightmare!" "It's not me hammering;" "it's your brother." "He has come to you with interesting news." "Open to him, open, open!" "Brother!" "Alyosha, I told you not to come." "What do you want?" "Smerdyakov hung himself an hour ago!" "This is to inform the jury, the defense and prosecution... that the witness Smerdyakov cannot be present due to his sudden death." "The police report testifies to it." "The witness interrogation continues in the murder case... of the retired titular councellor, Fiodor Pavlovich Karamazov." "Please present the witness Alexey Fiodorovich Karamazov." "Tell me, witness, has your brother ever told you that he intended to kill your father?" "He did not tell me so directly." "How, then?" "Indirectly?" "He once told me that in a minute of dispair he would perhaps be able to kill him." " And did you believe this when you heard it?" " No, I did not." "I have always been convinced that some higher feeling would save him at the fatal moment." "As it really did, for he did not kill my father." "Why are you so certain of your brother's innocence?" "I cannot help believing him." "I know he would never lie to me." "I know it from his face." " Only from his face?" "Is that all your proof?" " Yes." "I have no other proof." " Thank you." "Thank you..." "Alyosha." "Please present the witness Ekaterina Ivanovna Verhovtseva." "Would you please tell us, Ekaterina Ivanovna:" "what is your relationship to the accused?" "I was his betrothed." "I was until he left me of his own accord." "Did you give him any money to be sent by post?" "I gave him 3000 rubles on the understanding that he should post it within one month." "I felt that he was in need of money at that moment." "He shouldn't have tortured himself about that debt." "If he had come to me then," "I would have soothed his worry at once." "Besides, I myself once received a loan from him, an even bigger one, and I accepted it." "Don't you remember any threats by him against his father?" "No, he never pronounced any threats in my presence." "Could you tell us, esteemed Ekaterina Ivanovna, if you do not mind, of course, what is that certain fatal day, connected with your name, which the accused has mentioned in his statement?" "Of course I do not mind." "It happened one year ago." "My father then commanded the batallion in which Dmitry Fiodorovich served." "And a big peculiation of state money was discovered." "My father's and my whole family's honour had to be saved." "Dmitry Fiodorovich at the time..." "I wouldn't say that was courting me, no..." "He was not." "It was more like a game of ambitions." "And to all his attempts to get closer to me" "I responded only with contempt." "But at that moment I decided to pursue every expedient." "Late at night I came to Dmitry Fiodorovich's house." "I came to ask for money." "Dmitry Fiodorovich could have used my desperate situation... completely." "But he acted completely selflessly." "He handed me a check for 5000 immediately." "As I came to know later, it was all he had left, all his fortune." "He made a bow before me, and let me go." "After that I myself wrote a letter to Dmitry Fiodorovich asking him to be my husband." "That's all." "Thank you!" " Are there any more questions for Miss Verhovtseva?" " I have none." "Take your seat, please." "The witness Agrafena Aleksandrovna Svetlova." "What can you say about the death of Fiodor Pavlovich Karamazov?" "What can I say?" "I am to blame for everything." "I laughed at both of them." "That's why it all happened." "And what was your relationship with the first guild merchant Samsonov?" "That's not your business!" "He was my benefactor." "He took me barefoot and naked, when my parents had turned me out." "You need to answer the court's questions precisely and clearly." "That's what I'm doing!" "Have you seen the envelope that contained the 3000 rubles prepared for you by the deceased Fiodor Pavlovich Karamazov?" "I've never seen it, but I had heard about it from that wicked wretch." "To whom are you referring as "that wicked wretch?"" "To the lackey, Smerdyakov, who murdered his master and hung himself last night." "What proof do you have for such a serious accusation?" "None." "I am just sure that he committed the murder." "During the arrest at Mokroe, you cried:" ""It's all my fault"." "So at that moment you believed that Dmitry Karamazov murdered his father?" "I don't remember what I felt at the time." "Everyone was crying out that he had killed his father, and I felt that it was my fault." "But when he told me that he was innocent, I believed him at once." "And I always shall believe him." "He is not a man to tell a lie." "She ruined him!" "She is the reason!" " Who do you mean?" "This young lady." "She has no shame!" "That's it." "Witness Svetlova, sit down please." "Karamazov Ivan Fiodorovich?" "Well, and what else?" "You... are perhaps unwell?" "Do not trouble yourself, your Excellency, I am well enough." "I can tell you something interesting." "You have some special communication to make to the court?" "No..." "I have nothing in particular." "Nothing." "Ivan!" "Not you!" "Not you!" "I am like the peasant girl, your Excellency, do you remember?" ""I'll stand up if I like, and I won't if I don't."" " Brother." " What do you mean by that?" "This is the money for which my father was killed!" "How did you get this money?" "I got it last night from Smerdyakov, the murderer." "He killed my father, not Dmitry!" "He murdered him, and I led him to do it!" "Who doesn't desire his father's death?" "Are you in your right mind?" "That is the point:" "I am." "In the same evil mind as you..." "as all these... ugly faces!" "My father has been murdered and they pretend they are horrified." "They keep up the fraud with one another." "Liars!" "They all desire the death of their fathers." "One reptile devours another..." "If there hadn't been a patricide, they'd have been angry and gone home disappointed." "Circuses! "Bread and circuses."" "Give me some water." "Give me some water for Christ's sake!" "He is ill, ill." "Leave him alone!" "Ivan..." "Don't disturb yourselves, gentlemen." "I am not mad..." "I'm only a murderer." "You cannot expect eloquence from a murderer." "Witness, your words are incomprehensible and not acceptable." "Calm down, and tell your story." "How can you confirm your statement?" "That's just it, I have no witnesses." "Except for maybe one." "Who is your witness?" "He has a tail, your Excellency." "The paltry, nasty little devil." "He sits under the table with the evidence." "Where should he sit if not there?" "Release the monster Mitya!" "Arrest me, arrest me!" "Arrest me!" "How stupid all this business is!" "Why is it all so stupid?" " Calm down." " What is that?" "You!" "Mr. Procurator!" "I have to make another statement." "Here's a letter!" "Take it, read it!" "He killed his father!" "The other is ill and delirious." "I got this letter the day before the murder!" "He was drunk when he wrote it!" "He hated me because he had acted indecently and run after that creature." "I gave him 3000 on purpose;" "I wanted to expose him and he understood... that I was only torturing him by giving him that money." "He looked me in the eye, and I looked in his, but still he took my money!" "You're right, Katya, I looked into your eyes and I knew you were dishonouring me, and yet I took your money." "Despise me as a scoundrel, gentlemen, despise me, all of you!" "Accused, another word and I will order you to be removed!" "The money was a torment to him, so he murdered his father." "But he didn't repay me." "Instead he went off with the creature to that village where he squandered it on drink." "Read this letter, you will see that he planned how he would kill his father beforehand!" "Is this your letter, accused?" "We are all cruel, gentlemen." "We are all monsters." "We all make other people cry - mothers, babies." "But of all of us, let it be so:" "let me be the nastiest of all." "Let it!" "But I swear to God and his Last Judgement that I am not guilty of my father's blood!" "I forgive you, Katya!" "Brothers, friends, have mercy on the other one." "Mitya, Mitya!" "Your snake in the grass has ruined you!" "How she has shown you what she is!" "Grushenka!" "How she has shown!" "Murderers!" "Monsters!" "I curse you!" "I curse you!" "There he is!" "Mitya!" "Mitya!" "Farewell, Alyosha!" "Farewell, my brother!" "Remember: truth will shine on Earth!" "Will shine..." "Farewell, Alyosha." "Farewell, my dear." "Thank you for everything, for everything!" "Do not forget us there in Siberia, write to us." " Of course I will." "Remember me kindly!" "Go!" "The End"
