| LOMOV: It's cold... I'm trembling all over, just as if I’d got an examination before me. The great thing is, I must have my mind made up. If I give myself time to think, to hesitate, to talk a lot, to look for an ideal or for real love, then I'll never get married. Brr...It’s cold!

(Drinks) And it’s impossible for me not to marry. In the first place, I'm already 35- a critical age, so to speak. In the second place, I ought to lead a quiet and regular life.
