Boris:
How I got into this predicament I'll never know. Absolutely incredible. To be executed for a crime I never committed. Of course, isn't all mankind in the same boat? Isn't all mankind ultimately executed for a crime it never committed? The difference is that all men go eventually, but I go six o'clock tomorrow morning. I was supposed to go at five o'clock but I have a smart lawyer. Got leniency.

How I got into this predicament,
I'll never know.
Absolutely incredible.
To be executed for a crime
I never committed.
Of course,
isn't all mankind in the same boat?
Isn't all mankind ultimately executed
for a crime it never committed?
The difference is that all men go eventually,
but I go at 6:00 tomorrow morning.
I was supposed to go at 5:00,
but I have a smart lawyer. Got leniency.
I have a tremendous yearning
to be young again.
A boy.
Such happy memories
at our summer house.
Uncle Nikolai with his wonderful laugh.
God, he was repulsive!
Then there was Grandpa and Grandma,
who'd been married for 50 years
and still felt as deeply about one another
as the day they met.
And my own father,
a handsome and generous man.
In addition to
our summer and winter estate,
he owned a valuable piece of land.
True, it was a small piece, but he carried it
with him wherever he went.
Dimitri Petrovitch!
I would like to buy your land.
This land is not for sale.
Someday I hope to build on it.
