Moscow Nights Page #2

What are your plans?

I'm sick of seeing civilians and profiteers

and that is all one meet in this town

I'm going back to the battery

Not a chance.You won't be ready for active service for another 6 months

What you'll bet?

-Good bye -Good bye

Aren't you going to think about your nurse?

No.I can't.I am in an awful hurry

You might speak before me,will you?

And thank her and all that

Contributing properly to where we got to

Oh,yes.Yes.For being marvelous, Good Bye

They have appointed a man to succeed Petrovsky

Cpt Ignatoff,Second Battery,Field Artillery

He is going to be a difficult chap

-Why -He seems to be an almost perfect young man

Sooner or later they make a slip when given a chance

-You try to give them a chance? -I am

Cpt Ignatoff.Cpt Ignatoff.I began to cultivate that young man

Cpt Ignatoff?

Do put the advice bursting in unduly without an appointment or an introduction

or anything.Wait a moment.Haven't I seen you somewhere before?

Don't tell me,oh yes of course. I know.It was the hospital

You're one of me dear boys,aren't you,delightful

What I'm going to say you are

would you keep me if I sat down for a moment

-Now please do sit down,Madame? -Madame Sabine

-Let me see.Where was I? -I don't know

Of course,I remember.You are something to do with parcels,aren't you?

-Parcels? -Yes.Parcels

Supplies to the front and that sort of things

This is the Ministry of Supplies,of course

Exactly.Well now.My maid have been sending a parcel

to her young man at the front every week,every week,Cpt Ignatoff

And what you think has happened?

He has not received any of them

How clever of you to guess

Not one,Cpt Ignatoff.Well,what are we going to do about it.

My dear Madame Sabine,my department deals with supplies to the army

there is nothing whatever to do with private parcels

Try this address,he's a friend of mine at the post office

Thank you so much

What dear little flags,sweet, what do you do with those?

I see,you stick them in here

May I put one in.Lovely

Thank you so much.Very kind of you. I do hope we shall meet again.

-I hope so too.Good Bye -Good Bye

Hello,Natasha

I am sorry ,I am busy

No, I'll take no word for that you are busy

I'm expecting someone

Are you really going to marry him?

Yes I am.

You know that I am in love with you,don't you

Why,I won't talk like that,I promise you

I won't even mention the word love

it is something else I want to talk to you about not love,please

I have been in touchable, I've been presumptuous,

I've been conceited worst of all I've been a bore

I am terribly sorry,please forgive me

-All right,I forgive you -Thank you

You're an angel on the fence, you saved my life

I've been ungrateful and stupid

But it is not all again my fault, you know what it is

when you feel yourself falling selflessly in love with somebody

So you promise not to say that

No.Well..

Tell me about your new job, ammunition supplies isn't it

Yes

This time keep me very busy during the day

It's only get bad in the evenings really

These soft summer nights keep reminding me I am terribly in love,

I've done it,I'm sorry,please let's talk about something else quickly

-Count Polonsky -Thank you..

Polonsky is fine,he is hunting spies, he is a very lucky fellow

but he did take his stuff very seriously

But there are thing seriously in the world

and that is that I met you,I'm sorry

Fell straightway in love with you

No talk

Are you in love with him?

Are you?

Good Morning

Oh,Peter Petrovich,you know Cpt Ignatoff,don't you?

Yes,the gentleman who doesn't like visitor

-Ill again Cpt? -Oh,no,Much stronger now.Thank you

And when are we expecting to lose you?

I shall be going back to the front again quite soon

And how is business Brioukow

-All right -Splendid

I hear that you are making 50000 rubles a day

thats above 20 rubles for every man who's killed

well that's perfect,it looks very bright

if we could only put our casualties to 2 million you would be making 50 million

Of course you lose co-operation,

you better talk to the staff about it for small percentage

Enough

Don't listen

Oh,thank you so much.How thrilling.

-Will you have this? -Thank you Madame

Oh Cpt Ignatoff how nice to see you

Good evening

Look I won all this.Isn't it wonderful

That gentleman over there said who says banko

so I said banko and I got all this

The 500 rubles for the bank and 100 rubles on table

Table wins

You brought me up,Madame Sabine

Table wins

Come in and drink

You'd better be careful,that's big stuff

Bank wins

10000 rubles in the bank,gentlemen

10000 rubles in the bank

Bank wins

Banko for 20000 rubles

Banko

Losing your nerve Cpt?

Bank loses

Bank 80000 rubles gentlemen

Revenge Cpt?

Faites vos jeux.Monsieurs

-Have you got any money? -Yes I've got 300 rubles

-Do that make up for it? -No thank you

Now 50000 rubles,gentlemen

Cpt?

Faites vos jeux.Monsieurs

After all enterprising as usual,Cpt

It was different this morning

But perhaps more difficult here

Nine

Bank wins

I'll give you an IOU

What? An officer and a gentleman

Your word is good enough for me

Pay me 3 days

Good Night

Tail

I shouldn't do that

My dear boy,what is it I hear

I don't know

What made you do it? Risk so much money

What came over you?

Nothing came over me,my dear Madam Sabine

I merely thought I should be lucky at cards

But perhaps you don't believe in providence

And you lost

Yes

What are you going to do about it

Have you any money of your own?

No

Oh,forgive my asking but I feel like an old friend

You are an old friend,Madame Sabine,you are

By the time this story got about tomorrow you'll probably be my oldest friend

You mustn't talk like that

Everything will be all right

Can you raise the money anywhere?

No

-That's awkward -Yes

Do you know.I think I know a way out

-Are you a magician? -Of course not

But I know someone who may be able to lend you the money

A great friend,a very great friend, who has a lot of money at his disposal

Oh,please

Don't be too hasty

You never know.We might arrange something

My dear boy.I can't bear to see you giving up like this

Madame Sabine ,you are very kind

and I most grateful,but the fact is between you and me

Battered is the hope, providence is on the side of war profiteers

And he is only got three days to pay it

-Three days? -Three days.Poor Ignatoff.

-Why poor Ignatoff? -Because he lost 80000 rubles

At the casino last night

to Brioukow Natashas Brioukuw

Natashas Ignatoff you mean. Some of you are spiteful.

Poor boy.He will never be able to pay .

-He can always pay -How?

She will consent

-Hello -Is it you Peter Petrovich

-Natasha -Listen

I just found out.I can't come tonight after all.

I'll take you the gayest bistro in Moscow

To Natalia Alexandrovna

Thank you

Smile

Smile.Smile for me.

-Why did you gamble last night? -To win

You won a lot of money,didnt you?

Cpt Ignatoff
