"You are going to be
my friend, aren't you?" |
|
Even when beaten by the
revolutionaries, Sergei continues to follow the instructions
of the Countess (posing as a peasant girl) and insist that he
is her wife. |
|
"Take this man to Ivan,
the gatekeeper. Have him fed . . . and given employement." |
|
Sergei walks up on the Captain
and the Countess as they are kissing. He is jealous and reluctant
to shake the Captain's hand. |
|
Ivan continues to indoctrinate
Sergei that things are going to change - he will be equal with
any other man. "Then I could kiss her . . . like the Captain
kisses her?" Sergei asks. |
|
"You don't go after
that Countess," Ivan tells Sergei. "I'm going to have
her first!" |
|
"Kiss me . . . like
you kissed that Captain!" |
|
The Countess lies for Sergei
and tells the Captain he has been loyal to her and has protected
her. "Then I leave you to protect her again," the Captain
tells him. |
