The Wonderful Lies of Nina Petrowna
Let him be,
he has only been in St Petersburg for three weeks.
And he shan't return home.
Tonight, we will show you St Petersburg.
Right near-by there's a terrific night club.
The beautiful Nina! The mistress of Colonel Teroff!
Our little Cornet appears to
have managed for himself quite well.
Is this a good friend of yours?
Oh - the Cornet down there?
We've known each other for ten years.
We spent almost our entire childhood together.
A charming lie!
Are you Jealous?
You are an old friend?
Arn't you going to embrace your old friend?
Did you recognize me right away?
It's amazing, after so many years!
My favorite waltz...
...would you like to dance it?
I think it is time to go home.
You must have wondered about my strange invitation.
I think, it is better, if you...
Actually, you can spend the night here.
You are very tired indeed, Madame?
You're right, it is really time to go to bed.
Are you leaving, at this hour?
My goodness!
What will the neighbors think?
But you could sleep here!
The Villa is quite large.
Here is your bed, Mr. Cornet.
Good night
I see, Mr. Silieff,
you have enjoyed her well, as I have.
Remember, young man:
Woman and horses should have only one master.
Have you understood me?
He spent the whole night with you!
Say something - Invent some lie!
It is not very difficult for you.
This time it would be difficult for me...
...because I love him.
And if you must know...
...he slept in my room...
...and I slept in the boudoir.
Bravo! That was great lie!
So - you want to go my child?
But without my Furs - without my jewelry.
You come to the ranks now?
A woman, is it not?
It is over, Captain, sir.
I never want to see her again.
Cornet Silieff says there is no answer.
The Cornet is wanted by a lady.
Tell the lady, I'm not in the barracks!
And how may I serve you, Madame?
This is where you live now?
Why is there no wine on the table?
Because they won't give us any more credit!
Shall we have some music before we eat?
Can't you come back tomorrow?
Either you pay immediatly or I turn off the electricity.
Now comes a suprise.
Isn't it beautiful like this?
Don't be sad, Darling.
When I am a Lieutenant, I will earn enough money
We seldom see you in the Casino, Mr. Silieff.
The trouble is, your reputation in the service suffers from it.
You only need a bit of luck.
May I join you in a hand?
Three Knaves.
Fifty Rubles
Fifty
Lucky in love - unlucky in cards...
I bet everything.
Gentlemen, I will have my revenge another time.
The undersigned confirms an attempt to cheat...
with the attached card.
What will you do now?
That which an officer must do when he is dishonored.
Come to me tonight at 7 o'clock.
And don't do anything stupid. You understand?
Isn't it beautiful?
Michael?
Hurry, it is about the Cornet Michael Silieff.
Madame Nina Petrowna.
Michael... How is he?
Please, don't be polite...
What about Michael Andreievitch?
The undersigned confirms an attempt to cheat...
with the attached card. M Silieff
His fate entirely depends on you.
Your love for him...
Cornet Silieff
Bring the Cornet into the big drawing room.
That means that in half an hour...
Cornet Silieff will satisfy his honor in a duel.
Swear that you will give him back the note.
And tomorrow, I will return to you forever.
Do I have your word?
Last night, we both drank a bit too much...
...my dear Silieff!
Now comes a suprise.
This is very nice of you, Michael.
However, do you think I would wear such common shoes?
And that's not all...
I need jewelry...
How do you plan to get all that?
By selling what I have been giving to you.
Is Madame back?
