"The peasants are making difficulties about the horses." "You see?" "They know they too will be well treated by my countrymen." "The French will put us under their protection." "Truly, Princess..." "I would rather die than beg my enemy to protect me." "It would be an insult to my father's memory." "Tikhon, I am sure this must be a misunderstanding." "Send Dron the headman to me, please." "Immediately." "They're waiting outside, Your Excellency." "(SIGHS)" "Dronushka, what is this?" "Now, after our misfortune?" "We all walk under God, Princess." "I need to leave, this evening or tomorrow morning at the latest." "Can you have the horses ready and the carts loaded?" "There are no horses, Princess." "Of course there are horses." "What are you talking about?" "It's God's punishment, Princess." "Most of the horses were taken for the army." "And as for the rest of them, there's nothing left to feed them with." "TIKHON:" "Lies!" "What it is, Your Excellency, they've got it into their heads that they'd be better off waiting for the French." "MARYA:" "You haven't understood." "You have my word that you will be housed and fed at our estate near Moscow." "If you stay, the enemy will destroy you." "The French will set us free and give us land." "What have you ever done for us?" "How can you say that?" "You wouldn't dare to if my father were alive or my brother were here." "Now, I order you to have the horses ready for departure!" "Beautiful country." "We should find plenty of fodder here." "We need to secure it before the French get to it." "And a few pretty girls?" "Mine's the little one in front." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "What can we do for you, sweet-face?" "My mistress wishes to know your name and your regiment, if you please, and if you would come to the house and speak to her." "Certainly." "I'm Lieutenant Ilyin of the Pavlograd Hussars and this is Count Rostov, our squadron commander." "And we will be delighted to speak with your mistress." "Might we know her name?" "She is the Princess Marya Nikolaevna Bolkonskaya, Your Excellency." "Her father the Prince died yesterday." "And the peasants have been taking advantage of the situation." "I'm sorry to hear of it." "Please show us the way." "I am ashamed to have to beg for your assistance, sir." "Not at all, Princess." "This is an outrage." "And I am only too happy to be able to assist you." "It will be both a pleasure and an honour to escort you away from here, and I promise you no one will dare cause you any trouble." "Thank you, Count Rostov." "My dear Prince, can it be true?" "Smolensk in flames and Napoleon advancing on Moscow?" "Oh, our army will stop him well before Moscow, and you know Moscow is a long way from Petersburg." "But if it comes to the worst, what is to happen to us?" "Are we all to be guillotined?" "No, no, no, dear lady, Napoleon is magnanimous." "I suppose we shall all have to brush up our French again, though." "Ah, Bilibin." "Interesting times we live in." "The lovely Helene not here this evening?" "Ah, no." "She had to accept another invitation." "Two lovers, one absent husband and she's in a delicate condition." "Of course, the child is not Bezukhov's." "I'm sure she'll sort it out." "Marry me and I'd be yours and yours alone." "(CHUCKLES) That's impossible, isn't it?" "Aren't you still married to Bezukhov?" "No." "Well, only in name." "You see, we've..." "He's never... (CHUCKLES) I can't say it in modesty." "You're saying... it could be annulled?" "Why not?" "I'm sure if I write to Pierre, he'll do anything I asked." "He's such an obliging soul." "You do want to marry me, don't you?" "Well..." "Yes, of course." "Then I'll write to Pierre directly." "You still wasting your time, turning over cards like a little boy?" "I'm trying to determine my fate, Catiche." "Someone told me that you were going to the war." "Yes, I'm considering it." "You?" "You know nothing about war." "Well, perhaps it's time I found out." "NIKOLAI:" "My dear mother and father," "I hope you are making plans to leave Moscow." "Otradnoe will be much safer for you." "As for myself, you will be happy to hear that I am well and safe." "The Pavlograd Hussars have been held in reserve, so I have been buying new horses for the regiment." "We're in a beautiful part of the country." "No one would think that we were at war."

"I thank you for the honour but I request permission to be allowed to fight on the front line with my regiment." "Ooh, it'll be bloody." "But you don't need me to tell you that." "I expect to lose 20,000 men." "God willing, he'll lose more." "He thinks he's invincible." "He'll find he's not." "We're fighting on our own soil now."

"If death comes, it comes." "What do I have to lose?" "I feel very much the same, my friend." "I spoke to Natasha just before I came here." "She still loves you, Andrei, and she longs for your forgiveness." "That's all over now." "And I thought we'd agreed we'd never speak of it." "I went back to Bald Hills."
