CRIME AND PUNISHMEN The time of our story is any time,
human hearts respond
to love and hate,
pity and terror.
To all of you, we have given what we could,
our fount of knowledge, our discipline,
all the ideals that we hold precious.
We've nothing more to give you
but our prayers and our hopes.
The future is yours.
May you take it into your
strong, young hands with a high purpose.
Bend it to your will.
Shape it into a brave and shining destiny.
And now, it is my great pleasure
to confer our academic degree with honour
on the most distinguished student
of this class.
Roderick Raskolnikov, step forward.
In the history of our institution,
there have been few young men
who compared with him in mental brilliance
and few for whom
the future held greater promise.
I extend my congratulations to his mother
and to his sister,
to whom this present moment
is the reward for years of sacrifice.
I've spoken for the university.
Now I want to speak for myself.
I am proud to have had you as one of us,
sad that you are leaving.
Good luck to you. God bless you!
"There have been few who've
compared with him in mental brilliance
"and few for whom the future
held greater promise."
- Tony!
- Mother, help!
- Here, here! Here, wait a minute.
- Oh, Dmitri!
- Have you met my sister, Antonia?
- Informally.
- How are you doing?
- Mother, this is Dmitri.
My son has mentioned you in every letter.
He tells me you're his best friend.
Don't you believe him.
He's no friend of mine.
A man who rooms with me for years
and never tells me about his sister!
- I did tell you.
- But not enough!
How was I to know from looking at you
that she was so beautiful?
Here's your chance, Tony.
No brains, not much money, but enough,
so work fast!
Oh, Roderick, I'm so happy.
This watch was your father's.
He told me to give it to you on this day.
How proud he'd have been.
If only he could've have lived
to give it to you himself.
Brilliant Article By Unknown Writer
"One of last year's university graduates,
"whose name the editor didn't think
important enough to mention,
"has startled the world of criminology."
Good afternoon.
We haven't seen much of you
these past two days.
Have you been praying or only fasting?
I've been contemplating life.
You'd better contemplate the rent.
I haven't had a penny out of you
in six months.
How much longer do you expect me to wait?
Can you stand to strain
another half hour?
Oh, you're going to pay me
in half an hour?
And if it isn't being too personal,
just how are you going to raise the money?
I'm going to rob a bank.
You think you're funny? Well, I don't.
Pack up your things and get out of here.
Leave you? I couldn't do that.
I'm too attached to you.
You pay your rent tonight,
or I'll take measures.
You're a disgrace to my house.
Someday, they'll put a sign on it
telling the world
that I, Raskolnikov, once had
the privilege of starving here.
- Dmitri!
- Roderick!
There's something I had to show you.
Have you seen this?
There's an article in this called
"Sidelights on Crime,"
and it contains some of the theories
It's great.
It'll upset a lot of old-fashioned nonsense.
You must read it.
Not bad.
- Say, have you read this before?
I should have known that nobody but you
could have written this article.
Have you seen the review on it?
Well, doesn't it make you feel good?
As a matter of fact, it's a bit
uncomfortable.
I'm getting more of a thrill out of this
than you are.
What's the matter?
Didn't you get paid for the article?
I did, and the money came in handy.
Antonia lost her position,
and I sent it home.
That's just like you!
The first money you've earned in years.
I had to.
Tony and Mother will be here next week.
Roderick, now don't be offended.
Listen, if they're coming here, you can't
receive them the way you're living.
They'll be terribly upset.
You've got to let me lend you some money.
I'm just an ordinary sort of fellow,
Roderick. But you, you're a genius.
Some day when you're famous,
I'll be proud that I'd helped.
I don't want help from you or anybody.
It's nearly 7:
00.I've some important business to attend to.
See you some other time.
PAWNBROKER:
2 FLIGHTS UP
Oh, it's you.
Who's this? One of your gentlemen friends?
- No.
- What have you got this time?
Where did you steal this?
You say that about everything I bring here.
Why shouldn't I? Look who brings them.
- It's been in our family a long time.
- What do you want for this?
It's inlaid with mother-of-pearl,
and the stones are garnets.
Garnets, eh?
It's worth at least a hundred rubles,
and I thought I could get 20 for it.
So it's been in your family a long time!
If you look on the first page, you'll see
my name was written down when I was born,
and my little brother and sister
are marked down there, too.
- How long since you looked inside of it?
- I read it every night.
You read the Bible every night?
You oughtn't to be allowed to touch it.
- I'll give you eight rubles for it.
- I'll take the eight rubles.
Wait a minute. The inlay's coming loose.
There's another stone missing.
I'll give you six. Take it or leave it.
- What have you got?
- A watch.
I'll take the six.
The less you give me, the easier it will be
for me to pay it back, I suppose.
- But this is only one. You said six rubles.
- That's right. Six,
less three months interest on your shawl.
makes two forty.
And you owe me two months interest
on your silver necklace and your buckles.
That makes five rubles.
Five from six leaves one. Is that clear?
Or do you expect me to be in business
for love?
Well then, what are you waiting for?
Do you want your Bible back?
No.
Come along, then. Get out.
Don't hang around here all day.
Common little guttersnipe.
Let me see your watch.
"To my son. May he wear it in honour."
- I want 50 rubles on it.
- I'll give you 10.
You can't do that to me.
Give me the 10
and let me get out of here before...
Before what? Before you eat me up?
- What did you lose?
- The ruble.
It dropped out of my hand
when she pushed me out the door.
Somebody ought to push her
straight into the next world.
I've got to find it.
What use is that money to her?
like yours and mine.
It's plain arithmetic. You could use
some of her money, couldn't you?
What will you do
if you don't find the ruble?
- She ought to be stamped out.
- You shouldn't say things like that.
Black beetle squatting up there
on her money box.
It would be a service to humanity.
A crime would be a strange way
of serving humanity.
Here it is! I found it.
I don't know
what I would have done without it.
Why is it that all women weep
when they are happy?
haven't had a thing to eat all day.
- Are you the only one to look after them?
