Quotes
-
Prince Vasili Kuragin : What time did you get home last night?
Anatole Kuragin : Not late.
Prince Vasili Kuragin : What do you call not late?
Anatole Kuragin : 2:00.
Prince Vasili Kuragin : How much did you lose?
Anatole Kuragin : I didn't lose. I won.
Prince Vasili Kuragin : That's a change. Where are you going now? To lose it all again?
-
Prince Vasili Kuragin : It's time you were married.
Anatole Kuragin : Oh, there's no hurry. Why should I get married?
Prince Vasili Kuragin : Because I can no longer afford to keep you in the style you seem to require. A wife could, if she were foolish enough.
-
Anatole Kuragin : Now tell me honestly, Father. Is she really attractive?
Prince Vasili Kuragin : So I understand. Attractive enough.
-
Amelie Bourienne : But we lived quite near then. What a coincidence! How long were you there?
Anatole Kuragin : Two years. Perhaps we passed each other on the street and didn't know it.
Amelie Bourienne : Well, Lisa, this is strange, is it not? We lived almost next to each other in Paris and never knew.
Princess Lisa Bolkonskya : From all I hear of Anatole's activities there, Amelie, you were probably fortunate.
Prince Vasili Kuragin : Oh well, young men, you know. He learned a great deal in Paris.
Princess Lisa Bolkonskya : And he practiced it in Petersburg. I'm sure the soirees rang with stories about yourself and Count Bezukhov.
