00:03:26 They're going mad, sir. It's the students.

00:12:01 I must be a very clever woman.

00:15:48 Well, I don't know exactly why, but, uh...I must.

00:19:55 That's why it is worth remembering that it is much more disheartening

00:22:52 - Can you tell me who's in charge? - In charge of what?

00:26:04 Well, you see, my dear, Mr Lermontov is a very busy man.

00:31:13 And why you've chosen Heart Of Fire for this early-morning escapade...

00:38:08 - Merci. Grischa? Where is Grischa? - I'm here, Irina!

00:42:49 You cannot have it both ways.

00:49:40 We shall start work early tomorrow morning.

00:54:30 Mind your own business.

01:31:22 - Good night, Lermontov. - Good night, Livy.

01:36:14 You'll wake him.

01:43:47 He talked a great deal about ingratitude and...disloyalty.

01:50:05 If you do The Red Shoes, you'll have to pay him royalties.

01:53:50 - With Irina? - We can discuss that.

02:01:56 The costumes and the decor are the most beautiful Ratov has ever done.

02:05:11 I am...but in a way that you will never understand.

02:11:47 Take off the red shoes.
