| Real Audio (98kb) "What's worse than knowing someone's secret and standing by powerless. Clearly the man cares nothing for her. Why shouldn't he take her? A country doctor his age, a kind, pure, intelligent girl... What's wrong with her for wife? Nothing." |

| Real Audio (68kb) "No, we're going, which is the reason I can look at you. One thing I should like. When you think of me, to think well of me, if you can. I should like you to respect me." |

| Real Audio (76kb) Yelena: "I'm better than you think. I'm nobler than you think. I swear it to you." Astrov: "Allright, I'll take my leave of you. This is the last of me. Where should we meet? Quickly, say it. In one kiss." Yelena: "I swear to God!" |
