And all I dream of every day is that at long last I will finally meet someone. Oh, if only you knew how many times I've fallen in love like that 
  - narrator
 I'm laughing at the fact that you are your own worst enemy, and if you had tried, perhaps you might have succeeded.
 - nastenka
 I can't help coming here tomorrow. I'm a dreamer; I have so little real life that I regard such moments as this one, now, to be so rare that I can't help repeating these moments in my dreams.
 -narrator
 Where are your dreams? How quickly do the years fly by! And again you ask yourself: What have you done with your years? Where have you buried your best days? Did you live or not? 
 -----
 Nastenka, If I'd already loved you for twenty years, I still couldn't have loved you more than I do right now!
 -----
 I do not blame you that i have no power over your heart; such, then, is my fate!
 - nastenka
 ----
 Your hand is cold, mine is as hot as fire. How blind you are, Nastenka! ... Oh, how unbearable is the happy person at certain moments! 
 ----
 My God! A whole moment of bliss! Is that really so little for the whole of a man's life?
 -----
 Awiiii lal Nastenkaaa ka haw so bawrh2 ltk che! How could you be so quick and senseless to hurt my beautiful autistic man like that! How dare you! Dishonourable woman! Fie!
