A scene from Anna Karenina 2012
Karenin

I stayed up to talk to you.

Anna

What about? It's late. Where's Annushka?

Karenin

I sent her off.

Anna

Well, if you want to talk, but we should go to bed.

Karenin

I must warn you of something.

Anna

Warn me? Oh, it's really rather late.

Karenin

I wish to warn you that you may inadvertently, by indiscretion and carelessness, give the world occasion to talk about you.

Anna

I'm not a committee. Please say what you want to tell me.

Karenin

You and Count Vronsky attracted attention tonight.

Anna

Oh, you don't like it when I don't talk to people, and you don't like it when I do.

Karenin

I didn't notice anything, myself. But I saw that everyone else noticed. I consider jealousy to be insulting to you and degrading to me. I have no right to inquire into your feelings. They concern only your conscience. But it's my duty to remind you that we are bound together by God, and this bond can only be broken by a crime against God.

Anna

I have nothing to say to you.

Karenin

And you have a son.

Anna

And I'm tired.

Karenin

If I am wrong, I ask your pardon.

Anna

I don't know what you're talking about, and it's really too late for this. Excuse me, please.
