Anton Chekhov's The Duel

Synopsis: In ANTON CHEKHOV'S THE DUEL, escalating animosity between two men with opposing philosophies of life is played out against the backdrop of a decaying seaside resort along the Black Sea coast. Laevsky is a dissipated romantic given to gambling and flirtation. He has run off to the sea with beautiful, emotionally empty, Nadya, another man's wife. Laevsky has now grown tired of her, but two obstacles block his route to escape: he is broke, and he faces the absolute enmity of Von Koren, an arrogant zoologist and former friend who can no longer tolerate Laevsky's irresponsibility. Soon Laevsky confronts Von Koren, accusing him of meddling in his affairs, but Von Koren maneuvers a criticism Laevsky makes of their mutual friend, Dr. Samoylenko, into a challenge to a duel. Utterly discombobulated and honor bound, Laevsky agrees to this absurdity -- a duel it shall be! A duel as comically inadvertent as it is inevitable.

Hairy poisonous spiders under every rock.

They have sent you a

beautiful young woman...

...as a gift.

If God ever send me a woman

how grateful was horrible.

For the type of condition.

Please tell me what is the

meaning of suffering brain.

Is a disease that comes when you

Tell me she loved you?

I just ran.

North. A pineapples and

mushrooms and people and ideas.

No problem and just between us.

I have to tell you that

your letting husband...

...is dying, there is

something about suffering.

Oh, the kingdom does not have this.

Why is it hidden?

- Because if you come to me shows.

First I have to find the relationship when

Now show me the letter.

- Marry her dear boy.

Her husband is dead, probably

is suffering and not know what to do.

How delightful to see Ms. Nadia.

Course I can not compare.

Good morning sir.

This place is French right?

- Yes ma'am.

This design is charming. I can??

Good morning Miss.

I'm just seeing the merchandise.

Do not distant from what?

- Has a fine eye Miss.

I'm afraid that we can not run

new designs until you cancel your account.

I'm sure find ways to pay the bill.

Oh the heat is unbearable.

- Yes, my mind, my mind can not imagine.

I feel that long heat for a picnic on Monday.

Forgive sir. I do later.

This is not vinegar,

this is oil with salt.

Vanelesky I told a few days ago,

has had a hard time with this.

Well, this is someone who

maybe you have a little sympathy.

This is dangerous for

companies that may color it.

Why so much hate your neighbors?

No hate, just I know him well.

Even since before I got here every

day came and gossiped about her mistress.

I can not let you talk to

and a splendid friend.

Second it for drinking beer.

Third in the past people did...

...love the wives of other men in secret.

4th... it works.

So why eat the same thing every day

? Soup with this.

time I do not want this.

When Leskis multiply. The

humanity will generally isolated.

Civilization will perish.

worker and is useless...

...give comfort being the first in months.

More She is good beyond words.

This, this is within

which every man, that God created.

But humanity, the natural man for

conscience provides this reasonable.

Good morning Mr.

Andrech Ivan describes this view.

Why?

Printing is better than any description.

You continue with the...

...extasindote nature

meets your imagination?

What about Romeo and Juliet? Pushed

at 19 to this.

Crap, What about Romeo and Juliet?

Romeo makes us look like animals.

Why not calm everything?

Then what?

- Well certainly will...

The best thing this is.

And you say yes but...

...it is ugly a chewable

digestive and stomach.

Why do you say this?

In a minute mom.

Wait.

Oh look.

Do you think that land is good?

Go. I'm willing to do that,

they remain for centuries well.

Two centuries,

we expected, maybe a vineyard...

With this.

- No, dear, I must tell you something.

Not because it's terribly important here.

- What have they done?

Come tell me...

Very cool, I will say that this is good.

Trained with the man, go to another.

Glorious, things the good Lord has

provided us with such an advantage.

Only days to do its damage.

- Oh yeah. Someone pay.

How's that?

- The Book.

Good is an idea different

from where it comes.

But has guts, even as did.

Apes.

So it seems that this will be

It was a mistake, leave me alone.

Well defined night.
