Lisa
Ah! Barin!
Famusov

(Stops a clock music)
After all a what rascaline are you, the little girl.

So the flute is heard, so like a fortepiano is;
For Sofia too would be early? ?
Lisa
No, sir, I... Only accidentally...
Famusov
Here that accidentally, for you notice;
So, truly, intentionally.
(Presses close to her and makes advances)
Oh! A potion, *a spoilt girl.
Lisa
You are a mischievous, to the face either to you these faces!
Famusov
She is modest, and anything except
A mischief and a wind are on a mind.
Lisa
Start up, winders own,
Remember, you are an old men...
Famusov
Almost.
Lisa
Well, who will come, where we with you go?
Famusov

After all Sofia sleeps?
Lisa
Now asleep.
Famusov

Lisa
I read a whole night.
Famusov
See, a what whims were got!
Lisa
All in French, aloud, she reads do closed.
Famusov
Tell that is not necessary to spoil an eyes to her,
And in a reading a sake- from is not great:
To her the dream is not present from a French books,
And to me from a Russian is painfully slept.
Lisa
Soon will rise, I will be reported,
You right to go, do wake, I am afraid.
Famusov
Why to awake? Youself set go a clock,
For all quarter a symphony you rattle.
Lisa (as is possible more loudly)
Yes enough -s!
Famusov (clamps to her a mouth)
Pardon, so you shout.
You descend from a mind?
Lisa
I am afraid, to leave did not from this...
Famusov
What?
Lisa
It is time, sir, to you to know, you are not a child;
At a girls the morning dream is so thin;
Just by a door you will squeak, just you will whisper:
All are hear...
Famusov
All you lie.
Voice of Sofia
Hey, Liza!
Famusov (hasty)
Ts!
(She is stolen from a room on tiptoe.)
Lisa (one)
Has left... Ah! From a misters be away;
At them a troubles for myself to any time prepare,
Pass us more than all grieves
Both a lordly anger, and a lordly love.
・ THE PHENOMENON 3
Lisa, Sofia with a candle, behind her Molchalin.
Sofia
What, Liza, has attacked you?
You rustle...
Lisa
Certainly, to you to leave hard?
To a light do closed, and all seems a little?
Sofia
Ah, really it is shine up!
(Extinguishes a candle.)
Both light and grief. As a nights are fast!
Lisa
A grieve, know, from outside there is no force,
Here your father has come, I stood;
Span before him, I do not remember that said a lies;
Well why you stand et? A bow, sir, give.
Go, a heart is not on a place;
Look at the watch, look in a window:
Go on the people on a streets for a long time;
And in the house a knock, a walking, to sweep and clean.
Sofia
A happy do not observe a hours.
Lisa
Do not observe, your right;
And so to the answer for you, of course, to me to get.
Sofia (to Molchalin)
Go; all the day still we will suffer a boredom.
Lisa
God with you-s; away take a hand.
(Plants them, Molchalin in the doorway faces Famusov.)
・ THE PHENOMENON 4
Sofia, Liza, Molchalin, Famusov.
Famusov
What is an caution for! * Molchalin, you are, brother?
Molchalin
I am-s.
Famusov
Why you are here for? And in this hour?
And Sofia! . Hi, Sofia What you
So has early wake up! And? What do a care for?
And how God not time met together you?
Sofia
He just has entered now.
Molchalin
Now from a walk.
Famusov
The friend. Whether it is impossible for a walks
Far away to choose a back street?
And you, madam, soon from a bed jump,
With the man! With the young! - a busy for a maiden!
All night long reads a fables,
And here a fruits from these books!
And all the Kuznetsk bridge, * and eternal Frenchmen,
Therefrom a fashions to us, both authors and muses:
A blighters of a pockets and hearts!
When the creator will relieve us
From their hats! A caps! Both hairpins! And pins!
And a book and a biscuit benches! .
Sofia
Allow, the father, a head is turned;
I from a fear * transfer a spirit hardly;
You have desired to run in so quickly,
I have mixed up...
Famusov
I thank it is obedient,
I soon to them have run in!
I have disturb! I did a fear!
I, Sofia Pavlovna, am upset itself, a whole day
There is no rest, rush about as a fumed.
On a post, on a service to strive,
That sticks, another, to all have a business to me!
Whether I wait for a new efforts? To have been deceived...
Sofia
Whom, father?
Famusov
Here to reproach to me begin,
That uselessly always I rebuke.
Do not cry, I talk sense:
Whether about yours have care
About an education! From a cradle!
Mother has died: I was able to employ
In madam Roze the second mother.
The old woman-gold in a supervision to you has set:
She was clever, a behave is silent, of a rare rules.
One not to a honour serves her:
For a superfluous in a year a five hundred roubles
To entice herself by others has admitted.
Yes not in a madam a force.
It is not necessary other sample,
When in eyes an example of the father.
Look you at me: I do not brag by a harmonous;
However I am vigorous and fresh, and has lived to a grey hairs,
I am free, to a widows, to me I am the mister...
For the monastic behavior I am known! .
Lisa
I will dare, sir...
Famusov
Be silent!
Awful century! Do not know what is to begin!
All seem wise not on a years.
And more than a daughters, yes a good-natured persons.
These languages have gave to us!
Take so a tramps, * both in the house and under a tickets, *
To do our daughters to all to learn, to all -
And to a dances! And a sing! Both to a tendernesses! And to a sighs!
As though in their wife we prepare for a buffoons. *
You are, the visitor, what is? You are here, sir, to what?
Of a humble origin has warmed and has entered into my family,
Has given a rank of a asessor * and took in a secretaries;
To Moscow he is translated through mine coacts;
And be not me, a charcoal you do in Tver.
Sofia
I in any way will not explain your anger.
He lives here in the house, a great misfortune!
Went to a room, has got to another.
Famusov
Has got or wanted to get?
Yes together why you are? It is impossible, that it is casual.
Sofia
Here in what, however, a whole case is:
As last you with Liza were here,
Has frightened me your voice extremely,
And I have rushed here at full speed...
Famusov
Perhaps, on me whole turmoil will combine.
Not during a time my voice has done an alarms them!
Sofia
On a vague dream the trifle disturbs;
To tell to you a dream: you will understand then.
Famusov
What is a history for?
Sofia
To you do tell?
Famusov
Well.
(Sits down.)
Sofia
Allow... See whether... At first
A florid meadow; and I did searched
A grass
Some-kind, I do not remember in a reality.
Suddenly the lovely person, one of those whom we
Will see - as soon the century we are familiar,
Was here with me; both he is insinuating, and he is clever,
But he is shy... Know, who in a poverty is born...
Famusov
Ah! The mother, do not finish a push!
Who is poor, that to you is not a pair.
Sofia
Then all was gone: a meadows and heavens. -
We are in a dark room. For a getting a miracle
Opened the floor - and you therefrom has revealed,
Are pale, as a death, and a hair stand on!
Here with a thunder have flung open the doors
Someones not people and not animals,
Us go apart - and does tormented a sitting with me.
He is as to me is the more expensive than treasures,
I want to him - you drag with yourselves:
Guarded us by a groan, a roar, a laughter, a whistle of a monsters!
He to follow shouts! . -
She has woken up. - Someone speaks, -
Your voice was; what is, I think, so early?
I run here - and both of you I find.
Famusov
Yes, a foul dream as I have a look.
Here all is, if there is no deceit:
Both a devils and a love, both a fears and a flowers.
Well, my sir, and are you?
Molchalin
I heard your voice.
Famusov
Funny.
My voice was gave to them and as to myself serviceably
To all it is heard, and calls all to a dawn!
On my voice goes hastened, what is to go for? - Speak.
Molchalin
With a papers-s.
Famusov
Yes! Ist are lacked.
Pardon that it has suddenly dropped
A heartly to written affairs!
(Rises.)
Well, Sonjushka, I will give a rest to you:
Happen a strange dreams, and in a reality are more strange;
You to yourself searched for a grasses,
Has come a friend on more likely;
To thought out a nonsense from a head;
Where a miracles, there there is not enough a warehouse. -
Go, lay down, be asleep again.
(to Molchalin)
We go papers to assort.
Molchalin
I only bore them for the report,
That in a course it is impossible to start up without an inquiries, without others,
Countradiction is, and much is not efficient.
Famusov
I am afraid, sir, of one I am deadly,
That the set did not collect them;
Give vent to you, and it has sat down;
And at me that has put that has not put,
A custom is my such:
It is signed, so from a shoulders down.
(Leaves with Molchalin, in the doorway passes him forward.)
・ THE PHENOMENON 5
Sofia, Liza.
Lisa
Well here at the holiday! Well here to you and a fun!
However is not present, now not to laughter;
In an eyes darkly, and has stood a soul;
A sin is not a matter, a rumour is not good.
Sofia
What to me a rumour? Who wants, so and judges,
Yes the father to think on will force:
He is grumbling, unruly, fast,
He is that always, and since then...
You can to judge on...
Lisa
I judge-s not under a stories;
He will lock you, - kindly yet with me;
And so, pardon God, as at once
Me, Molchalin and all goes from a court yard down with.
Sofia
Do think, as the happiness is capricious!
Happens worse, a from hands will descend;
When a sad anything do not came on a mind,
Were forgot by a music, and a time went so smoothly;
The destiny would like is protected us;
Neither an anxieties, nor a doubts...
And the grief waits from a round the corner.
Lisa
Here that, mine silly judges you
Do not favour never:
Side here a trouble.
On what be to you of the best prophet?
I was repeated: in a love there will be no in this a sake
Neither on a senturies of a senturies.
As all Moscow ones are, your father is that:
He would wish the son-in-law with a stars, yes with a ranks,
And at stars not all are rich, between us;
Well, certainly to that
And money to live, that he could give a balls;
Here, for example, is colonel Skalozub:
And the gold bag, and marks in a generals.
Sofia
Where is so he is lovely! And is cheerful to me a fear
To listen about a guard * and a numbers;
He has not tolded a clever word never, -
To me all is the same, so for him, so in water.
Lisa
Yes-s, so to say he is talkative, and painfully is not artful;
But be the military man, be he state, *
Who so is sensitive, and oars, and sharp,
As Alexander Andreich Chatsky!
Not for this purpose, that you to confuse;
For a long time has passed, not to turn back,
And it is remembered...
Sofia
What is remembered? He is nicely
To laugh on is able all;
Stirs, jokes, to me it is amusing;
To divide with everyone it is possible a laughter.
Lisa
And only? As soon? - A tears he had a shower bath,
I remember, poor he, as you left. -
What do, sir, cry? Live laughing...
And he do in the answer: 'Not without a reason, Liza, I am crying:
Who knows, what I will find being turned back?
And how many, maybe, I will lose! '
The poor one is as a knew that is a year through three...
Sofia
Listen, a superfluous liberty you do not take.
I am very windy, perhaps, have done,
Both I know, and I am guilty; but where has changed et?
To whom? To reproach could by an incorrectness.
Yes, with Chatsky, truth, we are studied, grew:
The habit to be together everyone unseparably
Has connected is by a children friendship; but then
He gone out, at us him seemed is boringly,
And seldom have visited our house;
Then has again pretended to be enamoured,
Exacting and afflicted! ! .
Sharp, is clever, eloquent,
In a friends is especially happy,
Here about himself he has conceived highly...
A hunting to wander has attacked it,
Ah! If who loves whom,
What is for mind to search and go on so far?
Lisa
Where he rushes? In what edges?
He was treated, speak, on a sour waters, *
Not from an illness, tea, with a boredom, - is more free.
Sofia
And, truly, a happy there where people are more ridiculous.
Who is loved by me, is not that:
Molchalin, for others youself are ready to forget,
The enemy of an impudence, - it is always timid, unbrave
A whole night with whom it is possible so to promessage!
We sit, and on a court yard for a long time has turned white,
How you think? Than are occupied?
Lisa
God knows,
Madam, whether is my this business?
Sofia
He takes a hand, presses to a heart,
From a depth of a soul will sigh,
No a free words and so the whole night passes,
The hand with a hand, and an eye from me does not remove. -
You laugh! Whether it is possible! Than an occasion has submitted
To you I do to a laughter such!
Lisa
To me-s? . Your aunt on a mind has come now,
As the young Frenchman has run away at it from the house.
My dear! Wanted to bury
The disappointment, has not managed:
Has forgotten a hair to blacken
And in three days has turned grey.
(Continues to laugh loudly.)
Sofia (with affliction)
Here as about me then will start talking.
Lisa
Forgive, the right, as God sacred,
I was wanted, that this laughter foolish
You has helped to amuse a little.
・ THE PHENOMENON 6
Sofia, Liza, the servant, behind him Chatsky.
The servant
To you Alexander Andreich Chatsky.
(Leaves.)
・ THE PHENOMENON 7
Sofia, Liza, Chatsky.
Chatsky
At daybreak et on a feet! And I am at your feet.
(With a heat kisses a hand.)
Well kiss, did not wait? Speak!
What is for the sake? * Is not present? In the face to me look.
Are surprised? And only? Here a reception!
As though has not passed week;
As though yesterday together
We are not a some force have bothered each other;
No on a love hair! Where so are good!
And meanwhile, I will not be remembered, without a soul,
I am a forty five hours, do not blink an eye in a trice,
A versts more sevenhundred I was carried by, - a wind, a storm;
Both everything has become puzzled, and time fell how many -
And here for feats an award is!
Sofia
Ah! Chatsky, I am very glad to you.
Chatsky
You are for the sake of? Good luck.
However sincerely who rejoices this by?
It seems to me, so at last
People and horses do snob,
I only amused myself.
Lisa
Here, the sir if you were behind doors,
Really, there are no a five minutes,
As we remembered you here.
Madam, tell youself.
Sofia
Always, not only that now. -
You cannot make to me reproach.
Who will fly, will open a door,
In transit, a case, from other, from a far -
With a question I am, though be the seaman:
Whether has met you somewhere in a post carriage?
Chatsky
Put in that so.
That is blissful, who believes, warmly to him on a light! -
Ah! My God! Either et I am here again,
In Moscow! At you! Yes as you to know me!
Where is time that? Where that age is innocent,
When, happened, at an evening long
We are, we will disappear here and there,
We play and rustle on chairs and tables.
And here your father with madam, behind a picket; *
We are in a dark corner, also it seems that in it!
You are remember? We will shudder, that the little table, a door shall squeak...
Sofia
Childishness!
Chatsky
Yes-s, and now,
In a seventeen years you have blossomed charm,
Inimitably, and it is known to you,
And consequently are modest, do not look at a light.
Whether you are enamoured? I ask to answer me,
Without a thought, to a completeness to be confused.
Sofia
Yes though whom will confuse
A fast questions and an inquisitive glance...
Chatsky
Pardon, not to you that to be surprised?
What will Moscow show the new to me?
Yesterday there was a ball, and tomorrow there will be two.
That asked in a marriage - was in time, and that has made a slip.
All the same sense, * and those verses in an albums.
Sofia
A persecution to Moscow. That means to see light!
Where is a better?
Chatsky
Where we are not present.
Well what do your father? Still is an English club
Ancient, true member to a coffin?
Whether your uncle have skip own century?
And this, how him, he is a Turk or the Greek?
That a blacken smear, on a legs of a crane,
I do not know, what is his name,
Where go to put on: here as here,
In a dining rooms and in a drawing rooms.
And a three from a parkway persons, *
Which about a half century try to look younger?
A native is a million at them, and by help of a sisters
With all Europe will become related.
And our sun? Our treasure?
On a forehead it is written: Theatre and Maskerad; *
The house is painted by a greens in the form of a grove,
Itself it is thick, its actors are lean.
On a ball, remember, we have opened together
For a screens, in an one of a rooms of a more secret,
The person has been hidden and clicked by a nightingale,
The singer in the winter of a summer weather.
And that a consumptive, a relatives to you, to a books the enemy is,
In a scientific committee * which has lodged
And with a shout is demanded an oaths,
That to the reading and writing nobody knew and did not study?
Again to see them to me is fated by a destiny!
To live with them will bother, and in whom you will not find a stains?
When et do wander well, you are turned back home,
And the smoke of Fatherland to us is sweet and pleasant!
Sofia
Here you would with an aunt to met,
That all an acquaintances to re-read.
Chatsky
And the aunt? Still by the girl, by Minerva? *
Still by the maid of a honour *of Ekaterinas First?
A pupilines and a pugs the house is full?
Ah! To an education we will pass.
That now is the same as since an ancient times,
Strive to type a teachers of a guards,
By a number more, by a price is cheaper?
Is not that in a science are far;
In Russia, under the great penalty,
To us an everyone order to recognise
The historian and the geographer!
Our mentor, * remember its cap, a dressing gown,
An * index finger, all signs of a studing
As our shy is disturbed a minds,
As from an early time we have got used to believe,
That to us without Germans is not present a safing!
And Gilome, the Frenchman who has been beated by a breeze?
He is not a marriage still?
Sofia
On a whom?
Chatsky
Though is on any princess
Pulheria Andrevna, for example?
Sofia
Tanzmeister! Whether it is possible!
Chatsky
Well, he and the cavaler.
From us will demand with an manor to be and in a rank,
And Gilome! . - here now a tone is what
At a congresses, on a big, on a parish holidays?
Dominates still a mixing of a languages:
The French with Nizhniy Novgorod?
Sofia
A mix of a languages?
Chatsky
Yes, two, without it it is impossible.
Sofia
But it is sophisticated from them one to cut out, as yours.
Chatsky
At least it is not inflate.
Here a news! - I use a minute,
By a mitting with you I am revived,
And it is talkative; and unless there are no times,
What do I am sillier than Molchalin? Where is he, by the way?
Whether still he has broken a silence of the presses?
There was a songs where is a newcomers a writing-book
He will see, sticks: welcome to write off.
And however, he will reach a degrees known,
After all now loves a mute.
Sofia
Not the person, a snake!
(Loudly and improvedly.)
I want to ask you:
Whether happened, that you are laughing? Or in a grief?
By a mistake? A kind about somebody have told?
Though do not now, and in the childhood, can be.
Chatsky
When all is soft so? An it is gentle, and unmature?
On what so is a long time? Here a kind to you is business:
By a calls just rattling
And a day and a night on snow desert,
I hasten to you, a head breaking.
And how you I find? In a some a strict rank!
Here a coldness half an hour I suffer!
The face of the most sacred god praerine! . -
And nevertheless without a memory I love you.
(Minute silence.)
Listen, so et a words my all splittings?
And tend to a someone's hurt?
But if so: a mind with a heart are not in a harmony.
I am in an odd fellows to an other miracle
Time I will laugh, then I will forget:
Order to me in a fire: I will go as for a dinner.
Sofia
Yes, it is good - burn down, if is do not?

Chatsky
Ah! No; I am a little spoilt by a hopes.
Famusov
'The dream has come true' - me she has desired to whisper,
Here you have conceived...
Chatsky
I have? - Not at all.
Famusov
About whom to her it dreamt? What is it?
Chatsky
I am not the guesser of a dreams.
Famusov
Do not trust her, all is empty.
Chatsky
I trust to own eyes;
The century I did not meet, I give a subscription,
That was to her though a little similarly!
Famusov
He do own all. Yes tell in a detail,
Where you were? So much years go wandered!
From where you go now?
Chatsky
Whether is now to me to that!
Wanted to go round the whole world,
And has not gone round the 100-th share.
(Stand hasty.)
Forgive; I am hastened to see more likely you,
Did not come in a home. Farewell! In an hour

To you the first, you then tell everywhere.

To be the adult daughter the father!

A laudable life, here is an example:
The dead man was the respectable chamberlain,
With a key, and to the son the key was able to deliver;
He is rich, and by the rich was married;
Has married a children by, a grandsons by;

Tell, why? An arrival is mine not during a time?
To Sofia Pavlovna what
A grieves has whether happened? .
Has at you in the face, in a movements a vanity is.
Famusov
Ah! The father, has found a riddle:
I am not cheerful! . In mine years
It is not possible to be started up to me a dancing!
Chatsky
Nobody invites you;
I have just asked a two words
About Sofia Pavlovna: perhaps, she is unhealthy?
Famusov
Fie, My God forgive! Five thousand times
Repeats same by same!
So Sofia Pavlovna on a light is not present likely,
So Sofia Pavlovna is sick.
Tell, to you she is liked?
Has gone through a light; whether you want to marry?
Chatsky
And to you on what is?
Famusov
Me is not worse to be asked,
After all I am similar to her a little;
At least really *
By the father not without a reason am named.
Chatsky
Let I will woo, you what to me would tell?
Famusov
I would tell, first: do not whims,
By a manor, the brother, do not operate oversightly,
And, mainly, go to serve.
Chatsky
To serve I would glad, to cringe is nausea.
Famusov
That so by so, all of you are an arrogant men!
Would ask, how a fathers did?
Would study on an elders do looking:
We, for example, or the dead man uncle,
Maxim Petrovich: he is not that on a silver,
On a gold do eating; a hundred persons to services;
All in an awards; goes arrive eternal by a ztug; *
A century at the court, yes at a what court yard!
Then is not that nowadays,
At a sovereignine Ekaterina he is served.
And during that time all are important! In a forty pood...
Give bow - by a tupey * they will not bow.
The grandee is in a case * - to more,
Is not as another, and saws and ate differently.
And the uncle! What is your prince? What is the count?
A serious sight, a haughty customs.
When necessary to serve in,
And he was bent in a re-bent:
On a cutrtag* he has a case to stumble;
Has fallen, yes so, what hardly a nape do not dunn;
The old man has begun to groan, a rattle voice;
Has been welcomed by a higher smile;
Have desired to laugh; how is he?
Has half-risen, has reseted, wanted to give a bow,
Has fallen a bench by a bench - et purposely,
And a laughter more, he and in the third as so as is so exactly.
And? How is on yours? On ours - has mind.
He has fallen painfully, has risen healthy.
But, was happened, in a whist * who is more often invited?
Who hears at a court an affable word?
Maxim Petrovich! Who before all knew a honour?
Maxim Petrovich! A joke!
In ranks who deduces and a pensions who gives?
Maxim Petrovich. Yes! You, a present, - nutka!
Chatsky
And exactly, a light has started to be stupid,
To tell you can having sighed;
As to consider yes to look
A present century and a past century:
The legend is fresh, but to believe do work,
As that and was famous, whose a neck bent often;
As not in a war, but in the peace took by a forehead,
Knocked about a floor not being sorry!
To whom need: there is an arrogance, they lie in a dust,
And to them who are above, a flattery as a lace, so have spun.
The century of a humility and of a fear was a straight line,
All are under a face a diligence to the tsar.
I do not about yours uncle speak about;
We do not revolted him ashes:
But meanwhile whom a hunting will take away,
Though in a servility the most ardent,
Now, to make laugh the people,
Bravely to endow by a nape?
And a coeval, and an old man
Other, looking at that jump,
And collapsing in a shabby skin,
Tea sentenced: 'Ah! If to me too be! '
Though there are a hunters to rascal everywhere,
Yes now the laughter frightens and keeps a shame on a briddle;
Not in vain avariciously a sovereigns favour them.
Famusov
Ah! My God! He is carbonary! *
Chatsky
No, now a light is not that.
Famusov
The dangerous person!
Chatsky
Everyone is more free breathes
And does not hurry up to be entered in a regiment of a clowns.
Famusov
What is speaks! And speaks, as writes!
Chatsky
At a patrons to yawn on a ceiling,
To be to keep silent, to snuffle, to have dinner,
To substitute a chair, to lift a scarf.
Famusov
A liberty he wants to sermon!
Chatsky
Who travels, who lives in a village...
Famusov
Yes he of the authorities does not recognise!
Chatsky
Who serves a business, instead of a persons...
Famusov
To more strict I have forbidden these misters
On a shot to approach on a capitals.
Chatsky
At last I will give rest to you...
Famusov
A patience, a force are not, annoyingly.
Chatsky
Your century I was scolded ruthlessly,
I give to you in the arbitrary:
Cast away a part,
Though to our times in an addition;
Well, I will not cry.
Famusov
And to know you I do not want, a debauchery I do not suffer.
Chatsky
I have told.
Famusov
Good, I have closed an ears.
Chatsky
On what is? I will not offend them.
Famusov (by a tongue twister)
Here ransack over the world, idle,
Are turned back, from them for an order wait.
Chatsky
I have ceased...
Famusov
Perhaps, spare.
Chatsky
To long a disputes is not mine desire.
Famusov
Though a soul release on a repentance!
・ THE PHENOMENON 3
The servant (enters)
Colonel Skalozub.
Famusov (do not sees nothing and do not hear)

Under a court, as to drink will allow.
Chatsky

Famusov

Chatsky
To you the person come with the report.
Famusov

Chatsky
Yes turn back, call you.
Famusov (turns around)
And? Revolt? Well and I wait for a sodom. *
The servant
Colonel Skalozub. Will order to accept?
Famusov (rises)
Donkeys! Hundred times to you to repeat?
To accept him, to call, to ask, to tell that at houses,
That is very glad. Go on, hurry up.
(The servant leaves.)
Has shakes-hundred, the sir, at it остерегись:
The known person, a solid is,
And as a darkness a signs of a perfect has picked up;
Not on a years and a enviable rank,
Not now tomorrow the general be.
Please at him behave modestly...
Эх! Alexander Andreich, badly, the brother!
To me he favours quite often;
I to everyone, you know, is glad,
In Moscow so will add eternally in a three times:
Here as would be marries to Sonyushka. Empty!
He, maybe, also would be glad by a soul,
Yes a need myself I does not see a big
The daughter to merry on neither tomorrow, nor today;
So Sofia is young. And however, a rule of Gospodnya.
Please at him you do not argue at a curve and at a slant
And these lie ideas throws.
However there is no him! What the reason...
And! The nobility, to me has gone to other half.
(Hasty leaves.)
・ THE PHENOMENON 4
Chatsky
As fusses! What is for a hustle?
And Sofia? - Whether there is no indeed here a somewhat groom?
Since a which time me she shuns, as a stranger!
As here to her not to be! ! .
Who is this Skalozub? The father by him strongly raves,
And can be, not only that the father...
Ah! Tell that is a love end,
Who for three years afar will leave.
・ THE PHENOMENON 5
Chatsky, Famusov, Skalozub.
Famusov
Sergey Sergeich, to us here-s.
I ask obediently, here is warmer;
You were chilled, we will warm you;
An outlet we will turn on quicker.
Scalozub (by a dense bass)
Why do to climb, for example,
To own! . It is ashamed for me, as to the fair officer.
Famusov
Really for a friends do not to do to me a step,
Sergey Sergeich dear! Put a hat, unfasten a sword;
Here to you a sofa, be stretched on a rest.
Scalozub
Where will order, only to take a seat.
(All three sit down. Chatsky at some distance.)
Famusov
Ah! The father to tell to do not forget:
Allow to be considered us as own,
Though a distant, - the inheritance do not to divide;
You did not know, and I am for a long time, -
Thanks were taught by a cousin your brother, -
How Nastasya Nikolavna is relate to you?
Scalozub
I do not know-s, I am guilty;
We with her together did not serve.
Famusov
Sergey Sergeich, whether you are!
No! I before a relatives where will meet, by a creeps;
I will find her at the bottom of the sea.
At me a serving strangers are very rare;
More and more are the sisters, sisters - in-law of the child;
One Molchalin is to me not own,
And that in an order, that is in the business.
Whether as you will begin to represent to a crest, to a place,
Well as to not strive to the native little man! .
However your brother is to me the friend and spoke,
That a darkness of a benefits on a service you has received.
Scalozub
In the thirteenth year we are differed with the brother
In the thirtieth egersky *, and after in a forty fifth.
Famusov
Yes, a happiness who has a such sonny!
Has, apparently, in a buttonhole an award?
Scalozub
For August, third; we have sat down in a trench:
To him is given with a bow, me on a neck *.
Famusov
The kind person and to look - so the suffer.
The fine person is a cousin your brother.
Scalozub
But strongly has typed a someone new rules.
The rank followed him; he has suddenly left a service,
In a village began to read a books.
Famusov
Here youth! . - to read! . And after suffice! .
You have led regularly:
For a long time a colonels, and serve recently.
Scalozub
I am happy enough in my companions,
A vacancies * are just open;
That seniors will switch off others,
Others, look at, are interrupted.
Famusov
Yes, by a some whom the Lord will look, will uplift!
Scalozub
Happens, carries more happily of mine.
At us in the fifteenth division, is not afar,
Though to tell about ours brigade general.
Famusov
Pardon, and a somewhat lacks you?
Scalozub
I do not complain, does not passed,
However does moved behind a regiment two years.
Famusov
Whether go in a pursuits of a regiment? *
But, of course, in a some another
For you so far to last.
Scalozub
No, an older me on the case will be,
I am from an eight hundred ninth serve;
Yes, that a ranks to extract, have a many channels;
As the true philosopher I judge them:
To me if only has got in a generals.
Famusov
And nicely do judge, God give a health to you
And a general rank; and there
What for to postpone further
A speech to get about a general-ine?
Scalozub
To marry? I do not refuse.
Famusov
What is? At whom the sister, the niece is, the daughter;
In Moscow after all is not present to a brides a transfer;
To what? Breed year from a year;
And, the father, admit that hardly
Where the capital, as Moscow will be found.
Scalozub
Distances * are the huge size.
Famusov
A taste, the father, an excellent manner;
On all a laws are:
Here, for example, at us from an ancient it is conducted,
That on the father and the son a honour is:
Be a bad, yes if it will be typed
A soul of a two thousand patrimonial, -
That and the groom is.
Another though be more nimble, inflate by any conceit,
Let have a reputation to himself by a senser,
And in a family will not include. On us to not marvel.
After all only here et and values by a nobility.
So whether this one is? Take you a bread-salt:
Who wants to welcome to us, - all right;
The door is unlocked for an invited and uninvited,
Especially from the foreign;
Though the fair person is though is not,
For us equally, about all the dinner is ready.
Take you from a head to a heels,
On whole Moscow there is a special print.
Will right to look at our youth,
On the young man - a sonnies and a grandsons.
We rebuke them and if you will disassemble, -
In a fifteen years of a teachers will teach!
And our old men? ? - As they take enthusiasm,
Will condemn about an affairs that a word -is a sentence, -
After all a stolbovye * are all, in a moustache blow nobody;
And about the government sometimes so interpret,
That if who would overhear them... A trouble!
Not that do entered a novelty, - never,
Safe us My God! No. And will carp
To that, to this, and more often to a nothing,
Will argue, will make a noise, and... Will disperse.
A direct chancellors * are in a resignation - on a mind!
I to you will tell, the nobility, the time have not come,
But that without them a business will not manage. -
And a ladies? - Come in who, try, seize;
A judges to all, everywhere, over them are not present judges;
Behind a cards when will rise by a general revolt,
God give a patience, - after all I was married.
Order to order before by a frunt!
To be present send them to the Senate!
Irina Vlasevna! Lukerya Aleksevna!
Tatyana Jurevna! Pulheriya Andrevna!
And who saw a daughters, everyones hangs a head...
Him majesty the king was Prussian here,
He do marvelled by not a Moscow way to a maidens,
Them a kind-like-ness, instead of a persons;
And it is exact, whether it is possible to be a more educated!
Are able to dress up herself
By a taftitsa, a barhatets and a smoke, *
A word in a simplicity will not tell, all with a grimace;
The French romances to you sings
And deduces a top notes,
To a military people so and so clings.
To case is that are patriot-esses.
I will resolutely tell: hardly
Another will be found a capital, as Moscow.
Scalozub
On mine judgement,
The fire is promoted it much to an ornament *.
Famusov
Do not remember to us, whether it is not enough to groah!
Since then a roads, a sidewalks,
A houses and all are in a new way.
Chatsky
Houses are new, but a prejudices are old.
Be glad, will not exterminate
Neither their years, nor a fashions, nor a fires.
Famusov (Chatsky)
Hey, fasten for a memory a small knot;
I asked to keep a silent, a service is not great.
(Скалозубу)
Allow, the father. Here-s -to Chatsky, me of the friend,
Andrey Ilich of the dead the sonny:
Does not serve, by so he does not find an sake in that,
But want - so would be a business.
It is a pity, it is a very pity, he is a small with a head,
And nicely writes, translates.
He is necessary to regret that with a such mind...
Chatsky
Whether it is impossible to regret about another somebody?
And praises yours annoy me.
Famusov
Not I one, all also condemn.
Chatsky
And who a judges are? - For a ancient years
To a free life their enmity is irreconcilable,
Scoop a judgements from the forgotten newspapers
A times of an Ochakovsky and obedientment of Crimea;
Always ready to a judge,
Sing still a same song,
Do not noticing about himself:
What is older is worse.
Where are, specify to us, a fatherland fathers, *
Which we should accept for a samples?
Whether these, by a robbery, are rich?
A protection against a court in a friends have found, in a relationship,
A magnificent construct a chambers,
Where spread in a feasts and a prodigality,
And where clients-foreigners * will not revive
The meanest lines of the past life.
And to whom in Moscow did not clamp a mouths
By a dinners, a suppers and a dances?
Whether that, you are to whom me from a veils,
For a plans any not clear,
A children carried on a bow?
That Nestor * of a notable villains,
By a crowd surrounded of a servants;
Being zealous, they at o'clock of a wine and of a fight
Do safed both a honour and a life not timely and again: suddenly
On them he exchange a fleet three dogs! ! !
Or that still, which for an inventions
On a serf ballet has driven on a many waggons
From a mothers, a fathers a rejected children? !
Himself he is shipped by a mind in Zephyrs and in Cupids,
Has forced all Moscow to marvel to their beauty!
But a debtors * do not agree to a delay:
Cupids and Zephyrs all
Are sold one by one! ! !
Here that who have lived to a grey hairs!
Here to respect whom we should on a peaple-less!
Here our strict valuers and judges!
Now start up from us one,
From young men, will be - the enemy of a searches,
Do not demanding a places, a increase in a rank,
In a sciences he will fix the mind thirsty for a knowledge;
Or God will raise a heat in him soul
To creative, high and fine arts, -
They say immediately: a robbery! A fire!
And will pass at them for the dreamer! The dangerous! ! -
A n uniform! One uniform! It in their former life
Once do covered, is embroidered and is beautiful,
Their a faintheartedness, a mind poverty;
And to us behind them in a happy way!
And in a wives, a daughters - to an uniform the same passion!
I am myself to it whether have renounced a tenderness for a long time? !
Now into this childishness to me to fall do not;
But who then behind all was not entailed?
When from a guards, others from a court yard
Here for a time came, -
Women are shouted: hurrah!
And in air threw a caps!
Famusov (about himself)
He will involve me in a trouble.
(Loudly)
Sergey Sergeich, I will go
And I will wait for you in an office.
(Leaves.)

Scalozub, Chatsky.
Scalozub
It is pleasant to me, at this estimate
Skilfully as you have concerned
A biases of Moscow
To a favourites, to a guards, to a Guards, to guarders; *
To their gold, a marvel sewing, as to the sun!
And in the first army when have lagged behind? In what have?
All so are fitted, and all waists so are narrow,
And an officers to you does reading,
So even speak, others, in French.

And if not to the person, it is not necessary a bandagings;

Will tell a faint, will add a hundred emfine;

Molchalin! As if I did not force myself?
You have entered, a words has not told,
At them I was not dared to die,
To ask at you, at you to look.
Molchalin
No, Sofia Pavlovna, you are too frank.
Sofia
Whence a reserve to gather!
I was ready in a window, to you to jump.
Yes that is to me to whom? To them? To all universe?
Ridiculously? - Let joke them; annoyingly? - Let scold.

Molchalin
There are at me a three bagatelles:
There is a toilet, an artful work -
Outside a mirror, and a mirror inside,
Around all are a cut, a gilding;
A small pillow, from a beads a pattern;
And the nacreous device -
Needle set and knife -lets as are lovely!
The pearls pounded in a whitewashs!
Lipstick is for a lips, and for other reasons,
With a spirits a glasslets: a mignonette and a jasmin.
Lisa
You know that I am not flattered on an interests;
Tell better, why
You with the young lady are modest, and with a parlourmaid are a rakes?

Molchalin before was so silly! .
A most sorry creation!
Unless has grown wiser? . And that is
A groaher, * hangman, a bassoon, *
A constellation of a maneuvers and a mazourka! *
The destiny of a love - to play to her in a blind-man's-buff.
And me...

Sofia
Yes! A terrible sight, and a sharp tone,
And in you a chasm of these features;
And over youself the thunder-storm wherein is not useless.
Chatsky
I am strange, and who et is not a strange?
That one who is similar to all fools;
Molchalin, for an example...
Sofia
An examples to me are not new;
Considerably that you are ready to bile a vent on all;
And I am to not disturb, from here I will evade.
Chatsky (holds her)
Stay please.
(Aside)
A time in a life I will be like.
(Loudly)
Rest we these argue.
Before Molchalin I am not right, be guilty;
Perhaps he is not that three years ago:
On the earth a such transforms are
Of a provings, a climates, both a customs and minds,
There are a important people, had a reputation for a fools:
Other on an army, other by a bad poet,
Other... I am afraid to name, but it is recognised by the whole world,
Especially in a last years,
That became clever though where.
Let in Molchalin a mind is a brisk, the genius is courageous,
Whether but there is in him that a passion? That a feeling? That an ardency?
That, except you, to him the world whole
Is seemed an ashes and a vanity?
That a hearts everyone beating
By a love was accelerated to you?
That to a thoughts by everything, and to all him affairs
By a soul - you were, to you an pleasant is? .
I feel it, tell I cannot,
But that now in me boils, excites, enrages,
I would not wish and to the personal enemy,
And he? . Will keep a silent and a head hang on.
Certainly, he is quiet, all by such are not quick;
God knows, in him what secret is hidden;
God knows, for him that you have invented,
Than him head never has not been filled.
Perhaps, your qualities have a darkness,
Admiring him, you have give up to him;
He is not guilty of what, you are in a hundred times more siner.
No! No! Let he is clever, a hour from an hour is cleverer,
But whether you he costs? Here to you one question.
That is more indifferent to me to suffer a loss,
As to the person you, which with you are matured,
As to your friend, as to the brother,
To me allow to be convinced of that;
Then
From a madness I can be carefull;
Will go further to cool, to cold.
To not think about a love, but I will be able
To be lost all over the world, to be forgotten and have a good time.
Sofia (about himself)
Here unwillingly from a mind gone out!
(Aloud)
What to be like?
Molchalin recently could remain without a hand,
I am live in it a party have accepted;
And you, casual for this time,
Have not taken care to count,
That it is possible kind to be to all and without an analysis;
But the true in your guesses can is,
And I take hot him under a protection;
What for to be, I will tell to you straight,
So unrestricted on a language?
In a contempt to people so unhidden?
As to a ranked a mercy is not present! . That?
Happen to whom to name him:
A hailstones of a causticities and your jokes will burst.
To joke! And the century to joke! As you on it becomes!
Chatsky
Ah! My God! In dead I from those,
Which aim of all life -is a laughter?
To me it is cheerful, when the ridiculous I meet,
And more often with them I miss.
Sofia
In vain: it is all concerns another,
Molchalin to you would bore hardly probable,
When would converge more shortly with him.
Chatsky (with a hot)
Why you so have shortly know him?
Sofia
I did not try, God has meet on us.
Look, in the house he has got a friendship of all;
At the father a three years serves,
That often uselessly annoys,
And by a silence he will disarm him,
From a kindness of a soul will forgive.
And, by the way,
A cheerfulnesses he could search;
No many: from an old men will not step for a threshold;
We frolic, we laugh loudly,
He with them will sit down all day, glad not glad,
Plays...
Chatsky
All the day plays!
Is silent, when him scold!
(Aside)
She does not respect him.
Sofia
Certainly there is no in it this mind,
That is the genius for others, and for others is a plague,
Which is fast, brilliant and fasten be a contrary,
Which a light abuses on the spot,
That though a something a light has told about him;
Whether yes a such mind will makea happy family?
Chatsky
A satire and morals -are a sense of this all?
(Aside)
She does not cost in a penny him.
Sofia
A wander property
He is at least: compliant, modest, silent.
In the face no a shade of an anxiety,
And on a soul no an missteps,
To strangers and to curve and to slant does not cut, -
Here for somewhat I love him.
Chatsky (aside)
Plays pranks, she does not love him.
(Aloud)
To finish I do to you help
A Molchalin imagination.
But Skalozub? Here an emlooking;
For an army stands by a berg,
And by a straight a camp,
By a face and a voice the hero...
Sofia
Not my novel.
Chatsky
Not yours? Who will solve you?

To you in a room for some minutes;
There a walls, an air - all is pleasant!
Will warm, will recover, to me will allow to have a rest
A memoirs on that is transiently!
I will not sit up, I will enter, all is two minute,
Then, think, a member of an English club,
I there will offer whole days to a rumour
About a mind of Molchalin, about a soul of Skalozub.
(Sofia shrugs by a shoulders, leaves to herself and is locked, behind her and Liza.)
・THE PHENOMENON 3

Chatsky
Ah! Sofia! Indead Molchalin is selected to her!

But to have children,

He is obliging, modesting, in the face the flush is.

He is on a tiptoe, and is not rich by a words;
By what fortunetelling was able to her in a heart to get!

Chatsky

Chatsky

And in the summer a holidays on a summer residence.

When to play the fool - I play the fool,
And to mix two these crafts
There is a darkness of a art man, I am not from their number.
Molchalin

Here Foma Fomich, a sign he have to you?
Chatsky

And more than the exemplary.

Not the author I am...
Chatsky
And by all it is appreciable.
Molchalin

In mine years should not dare
Own judgement to have.
