Movie quotes

  • (..) He thinks I can give you up and go on living. No. You cannot. Time for bed? It was pleasant to hear you being congratulated on your husband. Not that I care for decorations, but... Alexei, I can't. I'm sorry. Oh. But I'm his wife, now. I'm having his child. Tell me what I did to deserve this. (..)
