"Oh, we seem like such a little family in that great gloomy house." "NATALYA:" "We take it very kindly that you came to call on us, Princess." "We used to have such a great number of friends." "But very few have sought us out in our reduced circumstances." "Excuse me." "I wanted to express my thanks to Count Nikolai." "I truly believe he may have saved my life, you know?" "I'll make sure he knows it." "And I was wondering, perhaps you could all come and stay with me." "I've so many rooms and I could ask your advice about all the improvements that need to be made in Moscow and the Bald Hills." "MARYA:" "I hope you don't think it presumptuous of me." "NIKOLAI:" "Have you no pride, Mother?" "What's the use of pride, Nikolai?" "Princess Marya is our friend." "She has a generous heart and she has the means to help us." "Think of all the people our father helped when he was able to." "NIKOLAI:" "You may enjoy the prospect of her charity, Tasha." "But I, I value my independence too much, that's all!" "Well, I pray that you come to see things in a different light." "In the meantime, we will accept her generosity, and you will pay her a visit!" "Common courtesy demands that!"

"I've had to give up my commission but that can't be helped." "Well, you sacrificed yourself for your family." "That's so good of you and so sad..." "No, really, there's nothing to praise." "I blame myself for my reckless conduct in the past and I deserve to pay for it." "But now my mother and sister are to suffer for it, too." "I'm not worthy of your kindness." "I thought you'd let me sympathise with you." "And we seemed... ..so close when we were together in Voronezh." "But now something's... gone wrong, and I don't know why." "There are a thousand reasons why." "Our family has lost everything." "The war's over." "I have no profession." "My poor mother, who has never wanted for anything, now has to darn her own stockings."

"It's a terrible thing to have your children die before you." "I know I've done so much wrong in my life." "But to take them both from me?" "Both my lovely children." "I've wronged you, too, my friend." "Can you forgive me?" "Of course." "Nothing to forgive." "Come, there's a chilly wind blowing." "Take my arm." " Let me walk you home." " Thank you." "Good evening, sir." "I thought I should call to congratulate you on your betrothal." "MARYA:" "Ooh!" "Thank you." "He's the dearest fellow as I'm sure you know, and very lucky to have found you." "Oh, please don't embarrass me." "We were so glad to know that you'd been saved." "It's the only good news we'd had in such a long time." "Yes, Andrei..." "It's a great blow." "Can you imagine that I knew nothing about him surviving the battle?" "So you were able to see him before he died?" "Yeah, and he often spoke of you." "And always very fondly, didn't he?" "So you found him at the Rostovs?" "(GIGGLES)" "What an odd coincidence." "Was she with him at the end?" "Pierre, don't you see who's here?" "Natasha?" "Have I changed so very much?" "No." "No." "No, I didn't see you." "I didn't expect to see you." "I..." "I never thought I'd..." "Very happy to see you, Pierre." "Yes, oh, of course, I..." "Likewise." "So you didn't know of Helene's death?" "No." "You know, she wrote to me asking to see me, but I, I never received her letter." "We weren't on good terms." "But... such a death without friends, without consolation." "I feel so sorry for her." "Oh, so you're a bachelor and eligible again." "(GIGGLES)" "Yes, I suppose I am." "He was such an extraordinary little man." "He was just a peasant." "You know, but he seemed to have grasped the secret of how to live." "He never worried." "He took pleasure in the good things, and endured the bad things cheerfully." "And his little dog." "How he loved her." ""She knows how to ask for love," he'd say," ""and she knows how to give it."" "What else can you ask?" "And he was right, I think." "So now I'm trying to live like him, is that ridiculous?" "No." "No, it's not ridiculous at all." "Tell us more about him, tell us all about him." "I should go." "I've kept you up far too late." "But... might I call again?" "Soon?" "Of course, you'll always be welcome." "NATASHA:" "Oh, he's such a dear friend." "But now it's as if..." "I don't know what it is, it's..." "It's as if he's fresh from the bathhouse, all pure and clean."

"Well, I think you should ask her yourself." "I'll go and fetch her." "(CLEARING THROAT)" "Dearest Natasha." "I know I've been a clown and wasted my life, but I have to ask you."

"But if I was asked, would I stay as I was before I was taken prisoner?" "Or go through it all again?" "I would say, "For God's sake, let me be a prisoner again."" "Come, let's sit and eat, and give thanks for our good fortune." "(BABY COOING) For me?" "PIERRE:" "When our lives are knocked off course, we imagine everything in them is lost."
