• Prince Bolkonsky : Are all the clocks in this house wrong except mine?

  Princess Maria Bolkonskya : Am I late?

  Prince Bolkonsky : Three minutes late. That's three minutes gone, three minutes wasted. Who could afford to waste three minutes a day?

  Princess Maria Bolkonskya : I'm sorry, Father. I've seen to the arrangements for Andrei and Lisa. They'll be here soon.

  Prince Bolkonsky : Excuses. Everyone always has excuses. The fact is, you've lost three minutes this morning. Now how will you get them back? I can't give them to you, or the loss becomes mine as well. Order, young lady, order. What is order?

  Princess Maria Bolkonskya : The prime condition of successful activity.

  Prince Bolkonsky : Exactly, exactly. To accomplish anything in our lives, we need order. A timetable.
