"Yes, Excellency." "How long have I lain here?" "Days, Excellency." "The doctor said to let you sleep." "Captain Dolokhov has been here." " And Colonel Denisov." " I'm hungry." "Bring my clothes." "Have I got anything to wear?" "Of course, Your Excellency." "And bring me a barber." "HE SIGHS" "HE INHALES DEEPLY" "CHATTER NEARBY" "SHE KNOCKS" "I'm so sorry for your loss, Countess." "It must be very hard to bear." "I've been thinking about you all so much." "Princess Bolkonskaya." "RUNNING FOOTSTEPS" "DOOR OPENS" "Marya!" "THEY SIGH" "So, you're in Moscow now?" "Yes, with Mademoiselle Bourienne and Nikolushka." "We seem like such a little family in that great gloomy house." "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." "We have so many rooms and I could ask your advice about all the improvements that need to be made in Moscow and at Bald Hills." "I hope you don't think it presumptuous of me." "NATALYA SNIFFLES" "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." "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." "Is it because of me?" "Is what because of you?" "That you won't tell Princess Bolkonskaya that you love her and want to marry her." "No, it's because our family are paupers." "But..." "Yes, I do feel badly about you, Sonya." "I..." "Then, please, don't." "I always felt that we could never be married." "And she deserves to be happy, Nikolai." "You are too good." "How can you be so self-sacrificing?" "Oh, because I'm used to it." "Sonya?" "Coming." "RETREATING FOOTSTEPS" "MARKET BUSTLE" "FOOTSTEPS APPROACH" "My mother sends her compliments." "Hopes you're well." "I'm quite well, thank you... in the circumstances." "How is she now?" "She's bearing up, thank you." "She appreciated your coming to see her." "It was a great comfort to her." "And you?" "You are well?" "As you see." "Had to give up my commission, but that can't be helped." "You sacrifice yourself for your family." "That's...so good of you, and so sad..." "No, really, there is nothing to praise." "I blame myself for my reckless conduct in the past and I deserve to pay for it." "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." "We seemed... ..so close when we were together in Voronezh, and 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." "She's so ashamed." "She can't even go out and face her friends." "My sister's life is over before it's scarcely begun." "Then let me help you." "I have more money than I know what to do with." "Don't you see?" "How can I ask for your help?" "People will say that I am a fortune hunter." "Nikolai, do you think I care what people say?" "Look... ..you might have changed your mind..." "..but, if you still feel what I think you felt when we were together in Voronezh..." "I still feel what I felt then." "And, if you knew..." " TEARFULLY:" " If you knew how long I've been waiting for you." "SHE SOBS" "Marya." "Dear Marya!" "SHE LAUGHS AND CRIES" "STREET BUSTLE" "Prince Vassily!" "It's Pierre." "Pierre Bezukhov." "Ah, yes." "Of course." "How are you, my boy?" "How are you?" "You don't look well." "She's dead, Pierre." "My lovely girl." "I know." "It's a terrible thing." "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 and let me walk you home." " Thank you." "Good evening, sir." "DOOR OPENS" "I thought I should call to congratulate you on your betrothal." "Oh, 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 was the only good news we'd had in such a long time." "Yes." "Andrei...." "That's a great blow." "Can you imagine, 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 with the Rostovs?" "What an ODD coincidence." "THEY CHUCKLE" "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." "No, of course." "I..." "Likewise." "So, you didn't know of Helene's death?" "No." "No, she wrote to me asking to see me but 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." "So, you're a bachelor and eligible again." "SHE LAUGHS" "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 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." "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." "Not just on the outside, but on the inside, too." "I knew he had a true heart the first time I met him." "HE SIGHS" "HOOFBEATS" "MARKET BUSTLE" "Princess, help me." "I haven't slept a wink." "What am I to do?" "Has she said anything?" "May I hope?" "I know I'm not worthy of her... but I've loved her so long." "Tell me what to do and I will do it." "Well, I think you should ask her yourself." "I'll go and fetch her." "RETREATING FOOTSTEPS" "FOOTSTEPS APPROACH" "Dearest Natasha... ..I know I've been a clown and wasted my life, but I have to ask you..." "Say no, and I'll go to Petersburg and never bother you again," "But..." "..do you think you could love me?" "Yes." "Yes, I could." "Yes, I DO, dear Pierre." "THEY LAUGH" "CHATTERING" "Oh, Nikolushka!" "How tall you've grown!" "I think you're going to be taller than your father." "I hope not." "I'd like to be EXACTLY the same height as he was." "Oh, wow!" "Really!" "Ah, is she fast sleep?" "Where's Pierre?" "Here he comes." " ALL CHATTER" " Did you help Daddy pick these?" "Pierre!" " Will you read this so we can argue about it?" " Will do." "Hey, do I get a kiss on your name day?" "'They say sufferings are misfortunes, '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." "'When our lives are knocked off course, 'we imagine everything in them is lost..." "'..but it is only the start of something new and good.'" "CHATTERING" "'As long as there is life, 'there is happiness." "'There is a great deal." "'A great deal still to come.'"
