Most scenes with: Komarovsky (2)
Comrade Doctor, I need a medical officer.
I'm sorry, I have a wife and child in Varykino-
And a mistress in Yuriatin.
Comrade Medical Officer, we are Red Partisans, and we shoot deserters.
I think you'd better go.
Your rarified selfishness is intolerable. Larissa's in danger too.
By association with me?!
No, not by association with you; you're small fry. By association with Strelnikov.
I've never met Strelnikov.
You're married to Strelnikov! They know that.
I was married to Pasha Antipov.
I understand, I understand… but they don't.
What?!
Spare me your expressions of regret. He was a murderous neurotic of no use to anyone. Do you see how this affects Larissa? You don't. You're a fool. She's Strelnikov's wife. Why do you think they haven't arrested her – is this the usual practice? Why do you think they had her watched at Yuriatin? They were waiting for Strelnikov.
If they thought Strelnikov would come running to his wife, they didn't know him…
They knew him well enough. He was only five miles from here when they caught him. He was arrested on the open road. He didn't conceal his identity – indeed throughout the interview he insisted they call him Pavel Antipov, which is his right name, and refused to answer to the name Strelnikov. On his way to execution he took a pistol from one of the guards and blew his own brains out.
Oh my god… don't tell Lara this.
I think I know Lara at least as well as you. But don't you see how this affects her position? She's served her purpose. These men that came with me today as an escort will come for her and the child tomorrow as a firing squad! Now, I know exactly what you think of me, and why, but if you're not coming with me she's not coming with me. So – are you coming with me? Do you accept the protection of this ignoble Caliban on any terms that Caliban cares to make.. or is your.. delicacy.. so exorbitant that you would sacrifice a woman and a child to it?
