I think we will lose this battle
and a great many men will die.

(MEN SCREAMING)

My God, Bolkonsky, what a shambles.

(LAUGHING)

NATASHA: How do you
really feel about Sonya?

I do love her, Tasha...

(LISE SCREAMING)

ANDREI: [haven't been
a very affectionate husband.

It's no use saying that now.

(BABY CRYING)

Here he is!

Your wife is even more beautiful
than I remembered, Bezukhov.

DOLOKHOV: To the health
of beautiful women, Petrushka,

and their lovers.

I challenge you!

DENISOV: Count Bezukhov.

If I might.

Look here.

You don't want to be fighting a duel
with this fellow.

Apologise. Say you lost your temper.

- No one will think any the worse of you.
- No.

No, we're here now,
just show me where I have to go.

PETYA: Captain Dolokhov?

DOLOKHOV: Let's get on with it,
shall we?

Uh, if you could
just remind me how one, um...

You point it and...

Oh, Lord.

Hold out your arm.

Straight in front of you,
as steady as you can.

And squeeze the trigger, don't pull it.

Turn sideways on.

Show him your shoulder, not your chest.

Don't give him an easy target.

Thank you, I'd forgotten.
It's very kind of you.

- There's still time to call it off.
- No.

No, I know it's stupid
but I think I must go through with it.

(COCKS GUN)

Good luck, then.

As the adversaries have refused
a reconciliation,

we shall proceed.

At the count of three,
you may advance towards each other.

You may not go further
than the swords marking the barrier.

After the count of three,
you may fire at any time.

One...

two...

three.

- Fedya!
- DOLOKHOV: Get back!

- Dolokhov!
- No!

Get back behind the barrier, damn you!

It's not over yet.

(PANTING)

(GASPS)

DENISOV: Turn! Cover yourself!

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(FIRES GUN)

Missed.

(PANTING)

(WHISPERS) Stupid. Stupid.

Stupid.

Death. Lies.

-(GROANING)
- PETYA: How bad is it?

If she sees me dying, it'll kill her.

- Who?
- My mother.

MY angel.

She and my poor sister are
the only good things in my life, Rostov.

(GROANING)

The only ones I care for.

I have to live for them, you understand?

Yes, I understand.

Move, man!

HELENE: Anatole, stop it!

You're not getting anything. (LAUGHING)

Ah, Pierre.

Well, I'll... I'll just...

HELENE: What have you done now?

What have I done?

You've made an exhibition of yourself.

And of me.

Someone told you that Dolokhov
was my lover and you believed them.

Now you've made us
the talk of all Moscow.

Are you asking me to believe
that you're innocent?

Of course I'm innocent!

Though, no one would blame me
if I had taken a Lover.

It's not much fun being married
to a drunken oaf like you, you know.

Most people think
you're half out of your wits.

Don't speak to me like that!

Why shouldn't I speak?

I am the injured party here after all,
not you.

How am Ito go
into society after all this?

- I never interfered with your pleasures.
-(GRUNTS)

It's better that we part.

What did you say?

I said it's better that we part.
I'm leaving for Petersburg tomorrow.

All right.

If that's what you really want.

You'll only expose yourself
to more ridicule.

You know you have to give me a fortune,
don't you?

- I'll kill you! (GRUNTS)
-(SCREAMS)

Out! Get out!

(SOBBING GENTLY)

(CHILDREN PLAYING)

(DOOR CLOSES)

-(SIGHS)
- A thousand apologies, Your Excellency.

There will be a little wait
for fresh horses. Um...

It's nice and warm in the parlour,

if you don't mind sharing
with another gentleman.

No, no.
I don't suppose I have any choice, do I?

MAN: Good evening.

Evening.

(SIGHS)

(FIREPLACE GRATE CLOSES)

What?

I believe I have the pleasure
of speaking with Count Bezukhov.

I've heard about the misfortune
that has befallen you, sir,

and I'm very sorry for it.

I should like to help you, if I can.

But if for any reason

you find conversation
with me unpleasant, please say so.

No.

No, I'm glad to make your acquaintance.

Then let me offer you
a brotherly handshake.

- You're a Mason.
- Yes.

I belong to
the Brotherhood of Freemasons.

I'm afraid my way of thinking
is very different from yours.

- I don't believe in God.
- Of course you don't.

You don't believe in God
because you don't know him.

And that's why you are so unhappy.

lam unhappy-

I should think anyone could see that.
But what am Ito do about it?

How can I know God

if all my powers of reasoning tell me
he cannot exist?

God is not apprehended by reason,
my son,

but by life.

I don't understand you, sir.

Well...

you are young, you are rich.
You are educated.

What have you done with all these
good things that have been given you?

Very little so fa r.

You need to purify yourself.

Listen to your conscience.

Look at yourself.

Ask yourself.

Are you content with yourself?

With your life?

No, I hate my life.

- I hate myself.
- Good.

You have taken the first step.

(RECITING PRAYER)

(BABY GURGLES)

(BABY WAILING)

(PANTING)

Your wound still troubles you?

Yes, a little.

- You still keep up a good pace, Father.
- Why would I not?

I never vary.

Work, exercise, a good night's sleep,
that's all a man needs.

What next for you? Back to the army?

No.

I've had enough for now
of dreams of glory.

Napoleon's war will soon
have nothing to do with us.

- I'd like to make myself useful here.
- Good.

Glad to hear it.

Plenty here to keep you occupied.

Build yourself a house
on the Bogucharovo estate.

Man needs his own place.
What do you say to that?

- I think it's an excellent idea.
- Good.

(IN DISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

I've drawn up a list of economies
I strongly recommend to Your Excellency.

Yes, yes,
but one doesn't care to penny-pinch.

One has to entertain
the odd guest now and then.

The position is
really quite serious, sir.

All right. Oh, all right.

Austerity shall be our watchword
from now on.

Thank you. Thank you
for your meticulous accounting.

I'll be good, I promise.

- Your Excellency.
-(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Well, what is it, my dear boy,
as if I couldn't guess?

Sorry to have to ask, Father,
but I do find myself a little short.

I've been helping Dolokhov
with his medical expenses, you see.

Ah, yes. How is the poor fellow?

Oh, he's very much better.

But he and his mother and his sister,
they live in such a poor way,

they can barely afford
to heat their rooms.

And you've been helping them.

You're a generous-hearted boy.

Now, I can't spare you
very much just at the moment.

Bakshin was very strict
with me just now.

Will 2,000 rubles be sufficient
for your needs?

That will be ample, Father.
You're very good.

See if you can make it last till spring.

- Give you my word that it will.
- Ah.

- And Father?
- Hmm?

I should like to invite Dolokhov to come
and stay here for a little while.

May I do that?

(CHUCKLES) My dear boy,
any friend of yours is welcome here.

Thank you.

(GROANS)

To the health and happiness of all.

And the splendid recovery
of our young friend here.

- Hear!
- I can't thank you enough, Count Rostov,

and you, Countess,
for your kindness to me.

Nonsense, it's our pleasure.

You're one of the heroes of Austerlitz.

It's nothing to be proud of, sir.
I'm just a man who loves to fight.

It's all I know, to my shame.

Don't disparage yourself, Fedya, none
of us will believe it anyway. (CHUCKLES)

Then I better say
nothing about myself at all.

(PETYA CHUCKLES)

(WOMAN CLEARS THROAT)

How's your mazurka
coming along, Natasha?

Hmm. Well, uh...

Well, we thought we were doing
very well until...

Until Denisov told us
we were doing it all wrong.

- I...
-(LAUGHING)

You did.

What do you know about it, Denisov?

Oh, I was dancing the mazurka in Poland

when you were still
in petticoats, my boy.

" Really?
- Aye.

The way they used to
teach us in Poland...

Have you always lived with the family,
Sonya?

Yes, since I was a little girl.

Nikolai speaks so warmly of you.
Now I can see why.

(NATASHA GIGGLES)

I should like to know you better, Sonya.

DENISOV: And it was the footman!

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)

Dolokhov watches you all the time.

Doesn't it make you feel uncomfortable?

Yes.

But there's no harm in it.

He can look all he likes,
it won't change anything.

You're so sure of yourself.

Mama says that girls are like mayflies.

(SIGHS) That they have their clay
in the sun and then it's over.

- Well, it's more than a day.
- But how long?

A year or two to choose or be chosen
and then...

And then that's our life settled.

Forever.

It's frightening.

We'll just have to choose right,
that's all.

But how will I know?

-(EXHALES)
- You will.

But will I?

NATASHA: I'm sorry, Nikki,
Ijust don't like him.

Why on earth not? Everyone else does.

There's something cruel about him.

- Now you're just being ridiculous.
-(CHUCKLES) No, I'm not.

He is the kindest, gentlest...

If you could see him at home
with his mother and sister.

Well, I don't know about that.
All I know is what I feel.

And I'm...

I'm sure Pierre was in the right
when he challenged him.

Oh, Pierre, he's an idiot.

No, he's not. I trust him with my life.

Whereas that one...

Can't you see he's trying
to take Sonya from you?

Well, he's just being nice to her.

- He likes you, too.
-(CHUCKLES) No, he doesn't.

I'm not sure he likes you, either.

Not really.

(SNORTS)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

(GROANS)

You sure you're up to this, Fedya?

Come again.

- DENISOV: Whoa!
-(PANTING)

(NIKOLAI CHUCKLES)

You'll have to show me
how to do that one.

Trade secret, my boy.

-(WATER SPLASHING)
- Your cousin is a lovely girl, Rostov.

And your sister, of course.

Thought you were the man
that despised all women.

Except his own mother and sister.

Changed my mind, very recently.

Innocence and purity are very rare.

You've known these girls all your life.

You take their qualities for granted.

I suppose you're right,
I've never really thought about it.

You see and feel very deeply,
don't you, Dolokhov?

Some things.

Some things.

(IN DISTINCT CHATTERING)

A-ha!

- A mazurka.
- A-ha!

NATASHA: I knew
we had one somewhere. (CHUCKLES)

Come on, Denisov.
We've heard you boasting.

Now you can show us all you can do.

- No, no, no.
- Please. Oh, make him, Father.

No excuse, Denisov,
you might as well submit.

Yes, best idea all night.

-(NATASHA LAUGHING)
- Oh, no!

-(ALL CLAPPING)
- Yes.

(PIANO PLAYING)

(DENISOV EXCLAIMING)

-(LAUGHS)
- Whoo!

(LAUGHING)

(LAUGHING AND EXCLAIMING)

(DENISOV EXCLAIMS)

(NATASHA LAUGHS AND SHRIEKS)

NIKOLAI: Ohhh...

Ooh!

-(EXCLAIMS)
-(ALL APPLAUDING AND CHEERING)

You're a wonderful dancer,
I had no idea.

For you. All for you.

Oh, thank you.

Now, this you absolutely deserve.

- Thank you.
- Yes!

- Shall we sit down?
- Yes.

(SINGING IN RUSSIAN)

-(EXHALES)
- Countess.

(CHUCKLES)

Natasha.

If I don't speak now,
I'm afraid I never will.

I adore you.

I have never felt this way
about any woman or girl.

I think about you all day.

- Dream of you at night.
- Oh, dear.

I know I have no hope.

But I must ask you.

Would you make me the happiest man
on earth and consent to be my wife?

Oh, uh...

Uh, no...
Urn, I wish you hadn't said that.

I beg your pardon.

- I couldn't help it.
- Dear Denisov.

Oh, I am so fond of you.

Oh, I can't say it.

Please.

Forget a bout it.

A moment of madness. (CHUCKLES)

All over now.

Now, if you will excuse me.

(CONTINUES SINGING)

(SIGHS)

(noon OPENS)

Now you must be blindfolded.

Why is that?

If you wish to join our Brotherhood,

you must be willing to
submit to our rituals without question.

Are you willing?

Yes.

Yes.

I will leave you now.

When you hear knocking,

you may remove the blindfold.

(LOUD KNOCKING)

Why have you come here?

For wisdom?

For virtue?

For enlightenment?

For renewal.

I want renewal.

(ALL RECITING IN RUSSIAN)

Always aid your brother man.

Raise up the fallen.

Forgive your enemy.

Take no revenge upon him,

unless it be but to do him good.

Go out into the world now.

Live not for yourself

but for others.

You must be so happy that he's decided
to turn his back on society.

Well, I won't say a word
against my husband, Anna Pavlovna.

But truly, it has been a bit
of a trial the last few months.

I'm very glad to be back in Petersburg.

And the Emperor himself has taken
an interest in your affairs, I hear?

Yes, he's been kind.

Oh, more than kind, really.

- Vraiment?
- (LAUGHS)

- All the old crowd here, I see.
- Hmm.

(GASPS) Bilibin.

Hmm, enchanting as ever, Countess.

Well, I should hope so.

But tell me, who is that young man?

BILIBIN: Ah, Boris Drubetskoy.

Very promising young man.

Since Austerlitz
has been attached to the Prussian staff.

Our oldest allies.

They've only betrayed us four times
in the last three years.

But now they're supposed to be
the solution to the eternal...

No, no, no. Stop talking politics to me,
Bilibin. I can't bear it.

Just introduce me to your little friend
and make yourself scarce, hmm?

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

Drubetskoy, over here.

Countess Bezukhova,
may I present Boris Drubetskoy?

One of our most promising
young diplomats.

Enchanté.

And you're with
the Prussian High Command.

How exciting to be so close
to all the decision-makers.

Do tell me about it.

Are you interested in politics,
Countess Bezukhova?

Well, I adore politics. (CHUCKLES)

It's all so fascinating.

Ah, Dolokhov, you'll never guess
who just I ran into.

Dolokhov?

What's the matter?

- What's going on?
- Did he tell you?

What? No, he told me nothing.
What's this all about?

There has been a bit of scene.

He's proposed to Sonya
and she refused him.

She told him she was in love
with someone else.

You, of course,
though she didn't say so.

He actually proposed to her?

Yes! Couldn't you see it coming?

Sometimes I don't think
you see anything.

Mama is not pleased.

She told Sonya
that Dolokhov's a very good match

for a girl with no prospects.

But I'm glad she refused him,
aren't you?

Yes, yes. Of course I am.

But I should talk to her about it.

- Yes, I will get her to come down.
- Hmm.

So he really proposed to you?

Yes. I didn't want him to.

You know, as Mama said,
he'd be a good match for you.

He's such a good fellow
and a dear friend,

I'd hate for you to feel as though
you had missed an opportunity.

Well, I've already refused him.

And nothing could make me
change my mind.

He's been very kind to me
but I could never love...

Sonya, if you refused him for my sake...

- No, don't say that...
- I'm afraid...

No, but I must tell you
the whole truth. Look...

I love you.

I... I think more than
anyone I've ever known.

- Well, that's enough for me.
- Yes,

but I've fallen in love before
and I expect that I will again.

I can't help it. It's the way I am.

And when Mama
refuses to give her consent,

you see, I'm not in a position
to promise you anything.

- Uh, I don't ask you to...
- Yes, but I think

you should consider Dolokhov's proposal.

I'd rather not marry at all
than marry him.

I love you and I always will.

But I don't ask anything of you.

You know, I don't...
I don't expect anything more.

- I don't deserve you.
-(CHUCKLES)

You're an angel.

(SIGHS)

Good day. Good day.

I've come to see
how you're all getting along.

(GOAT BLEATING)

These cottages look very bad, Grigori.

They need new roofs at the very least.

Yes, indeed, Your Excellency.

Uh, see you make a note of that.

Oh, and here would be
a good place for a school.

- A school, Your Excellency?
- Yes, indeed.

Every boy should have
the chance to learn

to read and write. And the girls, too.

But where will the teacher come from,
Your Excellency?

Well, there are teachers everywhere.

Just build the school
and the teachers will come.

Now, grain stores.

Hello.

For you.

Grain stores.

(CHURCH BELLS RINGING)

- HELENE: Oh, it's you.
-(SIGHS)

I'm so sorry. But then I...

Did I mistake the day or the time?

No, I don't think so.

It's just, uh,

where is everybody?

Don't you think there are enough of us?

Well, yes, of course.

What do you think all this was about?

Well...

You hungry?

Urn...

Not particularly.

Come on, then.

(CHILDREN PLAYING IN DISTANCE)

(ROOSTER CROWING)

All right, gentlemen, who's in?

Ah, Rostov!

The very man.

Thank you for inviting me, Dolokhov.
You've been a stranger lately.

I've been busy.

You're still my, um...

I mean,
everything's all right between us?

Why wouldn't it be?
Why don't you join us at the table?

Or are you afraid of playing with me?

(CHUCKLING)
I haven't any money with me.

That's all right, I trust you.

Play or not, it's all the same to me.

But I tell you,
if you play with me, you'll lose.

ALL: Ooh...

Well, you don't know that.

You know what they say about me.
"Dolokhov makes his own luck."

- I'll play.
- DOLOKHOV: Good man.

- Make some room for him.
-(ALL EXCLAIMING)

Stake your bets, gentlemen.

Five rubles on the five.

Three of hearts, the soda.

Ten wins.

- And five loses.
- Oh.

All right, Rostov, I'm keeping tally.

Stake your bets, gentlemen.

Ten on the Ace.

Any more?

All right.

Seven. King.

And Ace loses.

Bad luck, Rostov.

DOLOKHOV: Maybe it's not your night.

Stake your bets, gentlemen.

Twenty on the seven.

That's how it goes sometimes.

Perhaps you'd like to quit, Rostov?

Forty on the King.

Place your bets.

- Thousand on the Ace.
- Any more?

Jack of diamonds. Three of spades.

Ace of diamonds.

So, uh, how much do I owe you now?

(HENS CLUCKING)

(GEESE HONKING)

(PIG GRUNTING)

(NATASHA SINGING IN RUSSIAN)

(NIKOLAI HUMMING)

(NATASHA CHUCKLES)

-(CHUCKLES)
- You have a lovely voice, Nikki.

We should sing together more often.

I have to go and speak to Father.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Ah, the night bird.

Home at last.
Well, did you have a good time?

Not especially.

Father, I'm afraid I'm going to need
some more money.

(SCOFFS) Already?

Had a feeling it wouldn't last you.
Didn't think it'd be so soon.

Well, you're only young once.

How much do you need, my boy?

Well, it's rather a lot.

Um, I lost a bit at cards,
you see, and, uh...

That is, a good deal.
A very great deal, actually.

- How much?
- Forty-three thousand.

What?

To whom?

Forty-three thousand? Are you joking?

And I promised to pay tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

I suppose it happens to everyone
at some point?

Yes.

Yes, I suppose these things do happen.

It's a little difficult.

I shall have to close up
the Moscow house and go to Otradnoe.

Well...

(SIGHS) Can't be helped.

Can't be helped.

Oh, Papa, please forgive me.
I'm so sorry.

(SOBBING) Forgive me, I'm sorry.
Papa, I didn't mean...

- I'm sorry.
- There, there. There, there.

Well, here we are.

Didn't exactly enhance
our reputations on leave, did we?

I certainly didn't.

When the leave's too long,
the soldier goes wrong.

At least we know what
we have to do now, eh?

Kill Frenchmen. We can do that.

MAN: By the order
of the Emperor Alexander

and by the grace of God,

it is announced that a peace treaty

has been ratified
with the Emperor of France,

who will now be our gallant ally.

The Emperor Napoleon
has been awarded the Order of St Andrew

as a mark of our nation's amity
and accord.

Thank you.

(ALL MURMURING)

Excellent.

- What was that all about?
- The usual thing.

We've changed sides.
Our enemies are our friends now.

- So we're friends with the French?
- I know.

I know. It's a mad world.

No use trying to understand.

(GRUNTS)

Is Prince Andrei at home?
I'm an old friend.

Yes, Your Excellency.
Shall I tell him you are here?

No, no. No, let me surprise him.

(IN DISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Pierre.

Well, how unexpected.

I'm delighted to see you.

What brings you to these parts?

I've been making a tour of my estates,

trying to make conditions
better for my serfs,

my tenant farmers,
make my farms more efficient and so on.

Really, I have no idea what I'm doing.

How are you? Uh...

I've been thinking about you so much,
wondering what you've been up to.

Not very much, is the short answer.

Come. Let's have
something to eat and drink.

Yes, this is the life.

Bread and cheese.

And wine in moderation.

To hell with high society.

You know, you're exactly the same.

You haven't changed a bit.

You think so?

In myself,
I believe I've changed a great deal.

And for the better.

I heard about your marriage.

And how it ended?

You heard about the duel?

Yes, you had to go through that, too.

The one thing I thank God for
is that I didn't kill that man.

Why so? If a dog is vicious,
he's better off dead.

Oh, but to take a man's life,
that must always be wrong.

Why must it always be wrong?

For you, perhaps.

For me, there are only two evils.

Sickness and remorse.

Since Lise died,
I've been wracked with remorse.

I treated her unkindly
and now she's gone.

Disappeared into nowhere.

No way for me to make amends.

I've been staring in...
into the abyss, Pierre.

So, now, my sole aim
is to live for myself.

To do as little harm as possible

and to have as little to do
with other people as I can.

No, I can't agree.
That wouldn't be enough.

I used to live for myself
and I ruined my life.

Now I try to think of others,

actively try to help them
and I'm much happier for it.

Anyway, you don't live
just for yourself.

What about your sister,
your father, your little son?

They are a part of myself.

Well, I can see one can't
avoid the world entirely

but I do my best.

I look after my estate,
I take care of my sister and my son.

I serve in the local militia
with my father.

And that is enough for me.

You won't go back to the army?

After Austerlitz? No, thanks.

The pursuit of military glory
disgusts me now.

And besides, Kutuzov was our last good
man and now the Tsar's demoted him.

But what about yourself?
You have so much to give.

Marry again. Why not?

And make some other poor girl unhappy?

I'm surprised to hear you
recommend marriage, Pierre.

We neither of us
distinguished ourselves there, did we?

Look, I must say this to you.
We've had all these conversations

and you've been talking
as if your life is over,

but you're a young man still.

You know, so many good things
can happen to you.

Since I became a Mason
and started to live a good life,

I feel capable of anything.

We must live.

You know, we must love.

And we must believe

that there's more to it all
than our lives on this scrap of earth.

There's something else out there,
it is true, Andrei.

You must believe it.

(SIGHS)

Yes, if only it were so.

Pierre, I'd like you to meet my son.

And it must be a year since my father
and my sister set eyes on you.

Can you spare the time?

For you,
I have all the time in the world.

(WHISPERING) He's a funny fish.

You're a funny fish.

- (GIGGLES)
- What?

How do you find Andrei?

He worries me so much.

No.

MARYA: Today he's merry and lively,
but that's just your effect on him.

He is unhappy-

But it's not as though
he's doing nothing, Princess.

I kn ow.

He does everything well.

But it's as if the soul
has gone out of him.

-(DOOR OPENING)
- Oh, my father's home.

Oh, do you want to go and say hello
to your grandfather?

WOMAN: Come here.

(DOOR CLOSES)

No more war? This peace treaty
with France won't last.

And mark my words,

we'll be fighting Napoleon again
before you're much older.

No, sir!

We must believe
that man is capable of evolving.

Evolving? (SCOFFS)

Men don't change!

You could drain the blood
from their veins and put in water,

there might be no more war.

You're talking
old women's nonsense, sir.

But I'm happy to see that there are
still a few idealists left on earth.

(CHUCKLES)

I want you to go to Otradnoe.

The marshal there, Count Rostov,

has failed to produce
half the men required of him.

And the army
still needs to be maintained,

even in this time of so-called peace.

And Rostov needs someone
to ginger him up a bit.

Do you know the man at all?

- No, I don't.
- PIERRE: I do.

Uh, he's a very good man.

Not practical, I suppose.

But who am Ito talk of such things?

I'm very fond of him.
The whole family are delightful.

Well, there you are.
You can mix business with pleasure.

(GIGGLING)

Do tell your father
that I shall do my very best

to make my contribution to the militia.
I've been very lax.

Do you know, I moved the family
to the country to save money

but somehow,

we're doing more entertaining here
than I ever did in Moscow.

Hunts, theatricals, dinners, musicians,
endless guests coming...

Well, I shan't be
any further burden to you.

Oh, no, no, no, my dear fellow,
I didn't mean you.

Of course, you must stay the night.

-(PIANO PLAYING)
- And as long as you wish.

And you needn't be talking to
boring old men like me.

I've seen you looking
at those lovely girls.

(CHUCKLES)

Natasha, uh, stop that, my darling,
and come over here.

My daughter, Natalya.

Natasha, this is
Prince Andrei Bolkonsky,

one of the great heroes of Austerlitz.

I'm happy to
make your acquaintance, sir.

I think I saw you before, didn't I?

Yes.

(CHUCKLES) Yes,
you looked at me so severely.

No, not at all. Not severely.

At least, I hope not.

(COUNT ROSTOV CHUCKLES)

Go and take him away and talk to him,
Natasha.

He's had enough of me.

(NATASHA CHUCKLES)

Are you the Prince Andrei
that Pierre Bezukhov talks about?

He is my greatest friend.

(SIGHS) He loves you very clearly.

I think you're his hero.

Have you seen him lately?

He's had so much trouble, I think,
and none of it his fault.

I saw him just before I came here.

I believe he's put his sorrows
behind him now.

He's full of great plans and,
uh, love for his fellow man.

Yes.

Yes, that's just like him.

I so want him to be happy.

Like you.

You seem to have the gift of happiness.

Well, don't we all have it,
somewhere within us?

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

NATASHA: Come on, please. One more time.

SONYA: Yes, all right.
But then I'm blowing the candles out.

(NATASHA AND SONYA SINGING IN ITALIAN)

That's it. I'm going to sleep now.

Oh, Sonya, how can you sleep?

I feel as if I'm going to
stay awake till dawn.

(SIGHS) Look at that lovely moon.

SONYA: I don't think it's the moon
that's keeping you awake.

What then?

Do you like him very much?

More than Boris?

Yes, much more.

Oh, there's something so sad about him
and that frightens me a little.

But he's going away
and we're leaving for Petersburg,

I don't suppose I'll ever see him again.

Sonya, I wish I could fly away.

Shall I try?

Would the air carry me?

SONYA: (LAUGHING) Don't be a fool!

- Come to bed now.
-(NATASHA GROANS)

NATASHA: If you insist.

I understand you've made a great
effort to change your life.

That's very commendable.

How do you feel about yourself?

Well, I can look at myself
without disgust now.

But...

I'm still not happy.

You know, not at all. I...

I sleep badly,
I wake with fearful thoughts.

What's the matter with me?

Perhaps you are changing your world

and forgetting to change yourself?

Do you try to forgive those
who have wounded you?

PIERRE: My dear Helene,

I believe we should resume married life
together if that is agreeable to you.

I ask you to forgive me
for hurting your feelings

and for any damage to your reputation
that my conduct may have caused.

Thank you, dear Pierre.

I'm a better person now, J hope,
than I was when we last spoke.

I can't believe
you're back with Bezukhov.

(SIGHS)

Well, no need to sound so shocked.

It makes perfect sense.

And we're not sharing a bed,
it's just for appearance's sake.

So nothing needs to change.

Come back to bed.

No, I've got too much on this morning.

Did you know the Rostovs
are back in town?

I had heard, yes.

Aren't you supposed
to be engaged to the daughter?

That was just a childish thing.

Does she know that?

I should make it clear if I were you.

You can't afford to be engaged to a girl
with no money.

You're not jealous, by any chance,
are you?

Me, jealous?

Of the little Rostov girl?
Oh, you're very sweet.

You can see yourself out.

Wait.

I'll see you at the Tsar's ball?

Well, you shall see me
but you're not to talk to me,

much less touch me.

I shall be otherwise engaged.
And you need to find yourself

a pretty little heiress
to charm out of her petticoat.

- Think you can do that?
- I don't want to do that.

I want you.

Sweet boy.

- I'm so nervous.
- Aw.

I've been awake for hours thinking
about the Tsar's ball tonight.

Oh, but you've got
nothing to be nervous about.

It is important, my darling,

for you and for Sonya.

First time you'll be seen
in Petersburg society.

Everyone's eyes will be on you.

So keep a clear head.

And don't fall for the first boy
who asks you to dance.

Do you think he might be there?

Who?

-(GIGGLING) You know, Mama.
-(LAUGHING)

Prince Andrei Bolkonsky.

If God wills it, he'll be there.

And you'll dance with him.

Now, close your eyes.

Mmm?

(SINGING IN RUSSIAN)

(IN DISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

(BAROQUE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)

BILIBIN: Look at those two.
ANNA PAVLOVNA: Oh! Charmant.

There are so many French here.

As if nothing ever changed.

It won't last.

Napoleon won't be able to resist
the temptation to invade Russia

-for much longer.
-(GASPS) No.

Bilibin, don't say that.

Well, it's his nature.

He's like the scorpion. He has to sting.
He can't help it.

Ah! The Queen of Petersburg.

ANNOUNCER: His Imperial Majesty,
the Tsar!

(MUSIC CONTINUES)

Old friend.

- Pierre. (LAUGHING)
- How are you?

I'm very well.

Yes!

I see something's changed in you.

I keep hearing reports you're
making waves in the court circles,

reforming the army.

The old spark's burning bright again,
isn't it?

You could put it like that.

And? And what about you?

(SIGHS)

You don't want to hear about me.
I'm... I'm very happy to see you again.

(IN DISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

May I have this dance?

BORIS: May I take your hand
for this dance?

Of course.

Countess Rostova.

May I request the pleasure of
a dance with your daughter Natalya?

Of course. She'll be delighted.

Oh!

(INAUDIBLE)

It's him!

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

-(LAUGHING)
- ANDREI: Oh!

-(SHRIEKING)
-Oh, my!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

(PANTING)

I had no idea, Pierre.

I've never experienced
anything like it before.

- Like what, exactly?
- I'm in love, my friend.

Yes! Yes, with Natasha Rostova, yes?

Yes. Who else?

I feel like I've never been
properly alive before.

I... I feel like I can't
live without her, Pierre.

But could she love me?
Might she think I'm too old?

I am too old. What do you think?

(EXHALES)

(BANGING TABLE) Why don't you speak?

The girl is a treasure, Andrei.

She's one of a kind. She's a treasure.

Look, if you truly love her,

don't hesitate, don't think about it,

follow your heart and marry her.

Marry her tomorrow.
You'll never regret it.

- But could she love me, Pierre?
- She loves you, all right.

- She hardly knows me.
- She loves you! I know it, all right?

I could see it in her face
when she was dancing with you.

I've never seen her
look like that before

and I've known her
since she was a child.

She loves you, Andrei.

And you're the luckiest man on Earth.

So what are you doing talking to me?

Go to her.

Go to her! Don't let her get away.

Propose to her.

I will.

(LAUGHING)
