Griboyedov does not observe happy hours. Aphorisms from Woe from Wit: quotes from the main characters of the comedy Griboyedov Woe from Wit

Happy hours are not observed
From the comedy "Woe from Wit" (1824) by A. S. Griboyedov (1795-1829). Sophia's words (act. 1, manifest. 4):
Liza Look at the clock, pull it out the window: People have been knocking down the streets for a long time; And in the house knocking, walking, sweeping and cleaning.
Sophia Happy hours are not observed.
A possible source of this expression is the drama Piccolomini (1800) by the German poet Johann Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805): “Die Uhr schlagt keinem Gliicklichen” - “Happy does not strike the clock”.

There are many so-called catch phrases in our speech. I would like to understand their origins and origins. For example, who said "happy hours don't watch?"

We hear this phrase often. It is pronounced both seriously, and with irony, and even with anger. It all depends on the situation in which it is said.

History of appearance

This expression was introduced into Russian use by A.S. Griboyedov. In the comedy "Woe from Wit" Sophia says these words to the maid Lisa about her date with Molchalin. (act. 1, manifest. 4).

"Happy hours are not observed!"

But with some variants, such expressions were encountered in the literature before.

Matthew Priora's satirical poem Alma, written in 1715, states:

Happy hours do not know!

And in the drama by Friedrich Schiller "Piccolomino" (the second part of the Wallenstein trilogy), Marco Piccolomino says:

The clock does not strike the happy man!

Is the time relative?

The fact that the passage of time in different situations and in different emotional states is felt differently is no secret to anyone. And this can probably be called the emotional theory of relativity.

While waiting, the time drags on for a very long time. We look at the clock every minute, but time seems to freeze!

Vladimir Mayakovsky in his poem "A Cloud in Trousers" writes how he waits for Maria, who promised to come at four o'clock, but she's still gone and gone. Every hour is like a blow of an ax.

The twelfth hour fell, like the head of an executed man from the block!

Or Fazil Iskander writes that there is a stable expression in the Abkhaz language: "The time at which we are standing." It denotes immutability, constancy, absence of events. This time is usually gloomy, devoid of joy.

In the life of Nina Chavchavadze, the beloved woman of Griboyedov, the life time was also divided into two unequal parts. In 1828, Alexander Sergeevich came to Tbilisi and fell in love with the Georgian princess Nina Chavchavadze. In the autumn of the same year, they got married and left for Persia, where Griboyedov was appointed ambassador. He left his wife in Tabriz. And in January 1829 a brutal crowd of fanatics that attacked the Russian embassy tore it to pieces.

For only a few months, Nina was happy and was in mourning for over 30 years.

Why has my love outlived you?

Written on her grave.

After his death, Nina was in mourning for over 30 years. And the months spent with Griboyedov were her main life.

Music also affects our perception of time. Different melodies either speed up or slow down our perception of reality. Physiologists have proven this by measuring the heart rate and breathing rate while listening to different melodies. For example, when performing the piece "Time Forward" by Georgy Sviridov, the subjects' pulse increased by 17%. And Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" slowed down the pulse by 8%

The catch phrase in our life

Modern writers also often play up the expression: "Happy hours are not observed" in different versions. Igor Guberman in his "Gariki" writes for example:

Happy then always sob that they don't watch the clock on time!

It is clear that this is not only about the loss of vigilance during a love date. Happiness is always followed by retribution.

Phenomenon 2

Lisa and Famusov.
Lisa
Oh! master!

Famusov
Master, yes.
(Stops clock music)
After all, what a minx you are, girl.
I could not think of what kind of trouble it is!
Now the flute is heard, now like a piano;
Was it too early for Sophia? ..

Lisa
No, sir, I ... just by chance ...

Famusov
Just by chance, take note of you;
So, right, intentionally.
(He clings to her and flirts.)
Ouch! potion, darling.

Lisa
You are a spoiled person, these faces suit you!

Famusov
Modest, but nothing but
Leprosy and the wind on my mind.

Lisa
Let go, the windy ones themselves,
Come to your senses, you old people ...

Famusov
Almost.

Lisa
Well, who will come, where are we with you?

Famusov
Who should come here?
Sophia is sleeping, isn't she?

Lisa
Now I have it.

Famusov
Now! And the night?

Lisa
I read the whole night.

Famusov
See, what whims have started!

Lisa
All in French, read aloud, locked.

Famusov
Tell me that it is not good for her to spoil her eyes,
And it's not very useful in reading:
She has no sleep from French books
And the Russians hurt me to sleep.

Lisa
What will rise, I will report,
Please go, wake me up, I'm afraid.

Famusov
Why wake up? You wind the clock yourself
You play a symphony for the whole quarter.

Lisa
(as loud as possible)
Yes, fullness, sir!

Famusov
(grips her mouth)
Have mercy on how you scream.
Are you going crazy?

Lisa
I'm afraid it won't come out of that ...

Famusov
What?

Lisa
It's time, sir, you know you are not a child;
The girls' morning sleep is so thin;
You creak a little the door, whisper a little:
Everyone hears ...

Famusov
You are all lying.

Famusov
(hastily)
Tc!
(Creeps out of the room on tiptoe.)

Lisa
(one)
Gone ... Ah! give from the gentlemen;
They have troubles for yourself for every hour,
Pass us more than all sorrows
And lordly anger, and lordly love.

Phenomenon 3

Lisa, Sofia with a candle, behind it Molchalin.

Sofia
What, Lisa, attacked you?
Making noise ...

Lisa
Of course, it's hard for you to part?
Locked up until the light, and everything seems small?

Sofia
Ah, it really is dawn!
(He puts out the candle.)
And light and sadness. How fast the nights are!

Lisa
Grieve, know, there is no urine from the outside,
Your father came here, I froze;
Spun in front of him, I don't remember what I was lying;
Well, what have you become? bow, sir, weigh.
Come on, the heart is out of place;
Look at the clock, look out the window:
The people have been knocking down the streets for a long time;
And in the house knocking, walking, sweeping and cleaning.

Sofia
Happy hours are not observed.

Lisa
Don't watch, your power;
And what is the answer for you, of course, I get.

Sofia
(To Molchalin)
Go; the whole day we will endure boredom.

Lisa
God be with you, sir; take your hand away.

(Breeds them, Molchalin at the door collides with Famusov.)

Phenomenon 4

Sofia, Liza, Molchalin, Famusov.

Famusov
What an opportunity! Molchalin, are you brother?

Molchalin
I'm with.

Famusov
Why here? and at this hour?
And Sophia! .. Hello, Sophia, what are you
I got up so early! a? for what care?
And how did God bring you together at the wrong time?

Sofia
He just came in now.

Molchalin
Now from a walk.

Famusov
Friend, is it possible for walks
Further to choose a nook?
And you, madam, just jumped out of bed,
With a man! with the young! - Busy for the girl!
Reads fables all night
And here are the fruits of these books!
And all the Kuznetsky Most, and the eternal French,
From there, fashion to us, both authors and muses:
Destroyers of pockets and hearts!
When the creator delivers us
From their hats! cheptsov! and studs! and pins!
And bookshops and biscuit shops! ..

Sofia
Excuse me, father, my head is spinning;
I can hardly catch my breath from fright;
You deigned to run in so nimbly,
I got confused ...

Famusov
Thank you humbly
I ran into them soon!
I got in the way! I scared!
I, Sofya Pavlovna, am upset myself, the whole day
There is no rest, I rush about like crazy.
According to the position, in the service of troubles,
The one bothers, the other, everyone cares about me!
But was I expecting new troubles? to be deceived ...

Sofia
(through tears)
Who, father?

Famusov
They will reproach me,
That I always chew to no avail.
Don't cry, I'm talking about:
Didn't they care about yours?
About education! from the cradle!
Mother died: I knew how to borrow
Madame Rosier has a second mother.
I put the old gold lady in charge of you:
She was smart, quiet disposition, rare rules.
One thing does not serve her to honor:
For an extra five hundred rubles a year
She allowed herself to be enticed by others.
But Madame's strength is not.
No other sample is needed
When the father's example is in the eyes.
Look at me: I do not boast of folding,
However, he is cheerful and fresh, and has lived to see the gray hair;
Free, widows, I am my master ...
Monastic people are known for their behavior! ..

Lisa
I dare, sir ...

Famusov
Be silent!
Terrible age! Don't know where to start!
All have contrived not for years.
And more than a daughter, but they themselves are good-natured,
These languages ​​were given to us!
We take the vagrants, both into the house, and on tickets,
To teach our daughters everything, everything -
And dancing! and singing! and tenderness! and sighs!
As if we are preparing buffoons for their wife.
You, visitor, what? are you here, sir, why?
He warmed the rootless and introduced him to my family,
He gave the rank of assessor and took him to secretaries;
Transferred to Moscow through my assistance;
And if not me, you would have smoked in Tver.

Sofia
I will not explain your anger in any way.
He lives here in the house, great misfortune!
I went into a room, got into another.

Famusov
Hit or wanted to hit?
Why are you together? It is impossible to accidentally.

Sofia
But here is the whole case:
How long ago you and Liza were here,
Your voice terrified me extremely,
And I rushed here as fast as I could ...

Famusov
Perhaps he'll put all the fuss on me.
At the wrong time my voice caused them anxiety!

Sofia
In a vague dream, a trifle disturbs.
Tell you a dream: you will understand then.

Famusov
What's the story?

Sofia
Tell you?

Famusov
Well, yes.
(Sits down.)

Sofia
Let me ... see eh ... first
Flowery meadow; and I was looking
Grass
Some, I don't remember in reality.
Suddenly a sweet person, one of those we are
We will see - as if the ages are familiar,
He appeared here with me; and insinuating, and smart,
But timid ... Do you know who is born in poverty ...

Famusov
Oh! mother, do not finish the blow!
The poor man is not your match.

Sofia
Then everything disappeared: the meadows and the heavens. -
We are in a dark room. To complete the miracle
The floor opened up - and you are from there
As pale as death, and hair on end!
Then the doors were thrown open
Some are not people and not animals
We were apart - and they tortured the one who was sitting with me.
He seems to me dearer than all the treasures,
I want to see him - you drag with you:
We are seen off by the groan, roar, laughter, whistle of monsters!
He shouts after! ..
Woke up. - Someone says -
Your voice was; what do I think is so early?
I run here - and I find both of you.

Famusov
Yes, a bad dream; as I can see.
Everything is there, if there is no deception:
And devils, and love, and fears, and flowers.
Well, my sir, and you?

Famusov
It's funny.
My voice was given to them, and how well
Everybody hears, and calls everybody until dawn!
He was in a hurry to my voice, why? - speak.

Molchalin
With papers, sir.

Famusov
Yes! they were missing.
Have mercy that it suddenly fell
Diligence in writing!
(Stands up.)
Well, Sonya, I'll give you peace:
Dreams are strange, but in reality they are stranger;
You were looking for herbs
I came across a friend sooner;
Get the nonsense out of your head;
Where there are miracles, there is little stock. -
Come on, lie down, sleep again.
(To Molchalin.)
We go to sort the papers.

Molchalin
I only carried them for the report
That cannot be used without certificates, without others,
There are contradictions, and much is not practical.

Famusov
I'm afraid, sir, I'm alone deadly,
So that their multitude does not accumulate;
Give free rein to you, it would have sat down;
And I have, what is the matter, what is not the matter,
My custom is this:
Signed, off your shoulders.

(He leaves with Molchalin, passes him ahead at the door.)

Phenomenon 5

Sofia, Lisa.

Lisa
Well, here's the holiday! Well, here's the fun!
However, no, now it’s no laughing matter;
It is dark in the eyes, and the soul froze;
Sin is not a problem, rumor is not good.

Sofia
What is the rumor to me? Whoever wants to judge so,
Yes, the father will force you to think:
Obese, restless, quick,
This is always the case, and from now on ...
You can judge ...

Lisa
I'm not judging by stories;
He will lock you; - goodness is still with me;
And then, have mercy on God, just at once
Me, Molchalin and everyone out of the yard.

Sofia
Just think how capricious happiness is!
It happens worse, get away with it;
When sad nothing comes to mind,
Forgotten by the music, and time passed so smoothly;
Fate seemed to take care of us;
No concern, no doubt ...
And grief awaits from around the corner.

Lisa
That's it, sir, of my stupid judgment
Never favor:
But that's the problem.
What is a better prophet for you?
I repeated: there will be no good in love
Not forever and ever.
Like everyone in Moscow, your father is like this:
He would like a son-in-law with stars and ranks,
And with the stars, not everyone is rich, between us;
Well, of course, besides
And money to live, so he could give balls;
For example, Colonel Skalozub:
And the golden bag, and marks the generals.

Sofia
How sweet! and I have fun with fear
Hear about the frunt and the ranks;
He hasn’t uttered a clever word for a while, -
I don't care what is for him, what is in the water.

Lisa
Yes, sir, so to speak, is eloquent, but painfully not cunning;
But be a military man, be he a civilian,
Who is so sensitive and cheerful and sharp,
Like Alexander Andreevich Chatsky!
Not to embarrass you;
Long gone, do not turn back,
But I remember ...

Sofia
What do you remember? He is glorious
He knows how to laugh everyone;
Chatting, joking, it's funny to me;
You can share laughter with everyone.

Lisa
But only? as if? - I was drenched in tears,
I remember, poor man, how he parted with you. -
“What, sir, are you crying? live laughing ... "
And he answered: “No wonder, Liza, I'm crying:
Who knows what I will find when I return?
And how much, perhaps, I will lose! "
The poor thing seemed to know that in three years ...

Sofia
Listen, don't take too much liberty.
I am very windy, maybe I entered,
I know and I blame; but where did she change?
To whom? so that they could reproach infidelity.
Yes, with Chatsky, it is true, we were brought up, grew up;
The habit of being together every day is inseparable
Tied us with childhood friendship; but after
He moved out, he seemed bored with us,
And he rarely visited our house;
Then he pretended to be in love again
Discerning and distressed !!.
Sharp, smart, eloquent,
I'm especially happy with friends
Here he was thinking about himself high ...
The wanderlust attacked him,
Oh! if someone loves whom,
Why should the mind seek and travel so far?

Lisa
Where is it worn? in which parts?
He was treated, they say, on sour waters,
Not from illness, tea, from boredom - more freely.

Sofia
And, probably, happy where people are funnier.
Whom I love is not like that:
Molchalin is ready to forget himself for others,
The enemy of insolence is always shy, timid,
I kiss the night with whom you can spend this way!
We sit, and the yard has turned white for a long time,
What do you think? what are you doing?

Lisa
God knows
Madam, is this my business?

Sofia
He takes his hand, presses to his heart,
Sighs from the depths of his soul,
Not a word of freedom, and so the whole night goes by,
Hand with hand, and he does not take his eyes off me. -
Laughing! is it possible! what is the reason
I am so laughing to you?

Lisa
Me? .. your aunt has come to mind now,
How a young Frenchman ran away from her house,
Darling! wanted to bury
My annoyance, I could not:
I forgot to blacken my hair
And after three days she turned gray.
(He continues to laugh.)

Sofia
(with chagrin)
They'll talk about me in the same way.

Lisa
Excuse me, really, how God is holy,
I wanted this stupid laugh
I helped to cheer you up a little.

Sofia
Here I would like to meet you with my aunt,
To re-read all the acquaintances.

Chatsky
And Auntie? all girl, Minerva?
All the maid of honor of Catherine the First?
Pupils and mosek is the house full?
Oh! let's move on to education.
That today, the same as since ancient times,
They bother to recruit teachers of the shelf,
More in number, cheaper?
Not that they are far off in science;
In Russia, under a great fine,
We are told to recognize everyone
Historian and geographer!
Our mentor, remember his cap, robe,
Index finger, all signs of learning
How our timid minds troubled,
As from an early time we used to believe
That we have no salvation without the Germans! -
And Guillaume, the Frenchman, blown away by the breeze?
He's not married yet?

Sofia
On whom?

Chatsky
At least on some princess,
Pulcheria Andrevna, for example?

Sofia
Dancemaster! is it possible!

Chatsky
Well? he and a gentleman.
We will be required to be with property and rank,
And Guillaume! .. - Here today is the tone
At conventions, at large ones, on parish holidays?
The confusion of languages ​​still prevails:
French with Nizhny Novgorod?

Sofia
A mixture of languages?

Chatsky
Yes, two, you can't live without it.

Lisa
But it's tricky to tailor one of them, like yours.

Chatsky
At least not puffed up.
Here's the news! - I take a minute,
I am revived by a date with you,
And talkative; is there no time
That I’m more stupid than Molchalin? Where is he, by the way?
Have you not yet broken the silence of the press?
It used to be, songs where the new ones are the notebook
He will see, bothers: please write off.
However, he will reach the degrees of the known,
After all, today they love dumb.

Sofia
(to the side)
Not a man, a snake!
(Loud and forced.)
I want to ask you:
Has it ever happened that you laughing? or in sorrow?
A mistake? did you say good about someone?
Though not now, but in childhood, maybe.

Chatsky
When is everything so soft? and tender and immature?
Why so long ago? here's a good deed to you:
The calls have just thundered
And day and night in the snowy desert,
I hurry to your head at breakneck speed.
And how do I find you? in some strict rank!
I endure coldness for half an hour!
The face of the holiest praying mantis! ..
And yet I love you without memory. -
(Minute silence.)
Listen, are my words all the pegs?
And leaning towards someone else's harm?
But if so: mind and heart are out of tune.
I'm in eccentrics to another miracle
Once I laugh, then I forget:
Tell me into the fire: I’ll go as if to dinner.

Sofia
Yes, good - burn out, if not?

Phenomenon 8

Sofia, Liza, Chatsky, Famusov.

Famusov
Here's another!

Sofia
Ah, father, sleep in hand.
(Leaves.)

Phenomenon 9

Famusov, Chatsky(looks at the door Sophia went through).

Famusov
Well, you threw the thing out!
I haven't written two words for three years!
And suddenly it burst out, as from the clouds.
(They hug.)
Great, friend, great, brother, great.
Tell me, tea, you have it ready
Gathering important news?
Sit down, announce quickly.
(Sit down)

Chatsky
(absently)
How prettier you are with Sofya Pavlovna!

Famusov
You people are young, there is no other matter,
How to notice girly beauty:
I said something in passing, and you,
I have tea, hopes raised, bewitched.

Chatsky
Oh! no, I am a little spoiled by hopes.

Famusov
"Sleep in hand" she deigned to whisper to me.
So you are planning ...

Chatsky
I AM? - Not at all.

Famusov
Who was she dreaming of? what?

Chatsky
I am not a guesser of dreams.

Famusov
Do not believe her, everything is empty.

Chatsky
I believe my own eyes;
I have not met a century, I will give a subscription.
So that it was at least a little like her!

Famusov
He's all his own. Tell me in detail
Where have you been? wandered for so many years!
Where is it from now?

Chatsky
Now I don't care!
I wanted to go around the whole world
And he did not go around a hundredth.
(Rises hastily.)
Sorry; I was in a hurry to see you sooner,
Didn't go home. Farewell! In one hour
I will appear, I will not forget the slightest details;
You first, then tell you everywhere.
(In the door.)
How good!

Chatsky
No, the light is not like that today.

Famusov
Dangerous man!

Chatsky
Everyone breathes more freely
And in no hurry to fit into the regiment of jesters.

Famusov
What he says! and speaks as he writes!

Chatsky
Have patrons yawn at the ceiling,
Show up to be silent, rummage, dine,
Substitute a chair, raise a handkerchief.

Famusov
He wants to preach liberty!

Chatsky
Who travels, who lives in the village ...

Famusov
Yes, he does not recognize the authorities!

Chatsky
Who serves the cause, not persons ...

Famusov
I would strictly forbid these gentlemen
Drive up to the capitals for a shot.

Chatsky
I will finally give you rest ...

Famusov
Patience, no urine, annoying.

Chatsky
I scolded your century mercilessly,
I give you power:
Throw away the part,
At least our times to boot;
So be it, I won't cry.

Famusov
And I don’t want to know you, I don’t tolerate debauchery.

Chatsky
I have finished.

Famusov
Good, I covered my ears.

Chatsky
What for? I will not offend them.

Famusov
(quick twister)
Here they scour the world, beat their thumbs,
Come back, expect order from them.

Chatsky
I stopped ...

Famusov
Perhaps have mercy.

Chatsky
It is not my desire to prolong the debate.

Famusov
Let your soul go to repentance!

Phenomenon 3

Servant
(included)
Colonel Skalozub.

Famusov
(sees and hears nothing)
They will bury you.
On trial, they will give you how to drink.

Chatsky
Someone has come to visit you.

Famusov
I'm not listening, on trial!

Chatsky
A person with a report to you.

Famusov
I'm not listening, on trial! on trial!

Chatsky
Turn around, your name is.

Famusov
(turns around)
A? riot? Well, I'm waiting for sodom.

Servant
Colonel Skalozub. Would you like to accept it?

Famusov
(stands up)
Donkeys! a hundred times to tell you?
Accept him, call him, ask him, say that he is at home,
Which is very happy. Come on, hurry up.
(Exit Servant.)
Say a hundred, sir, beware of him:
Famous person, respectable,
And he picked up the signs of darkness;
Beyond his years and an enviable rank,
Not today tomorrow general.
Please, behave modestly in front of him.
Eh! Alexander Andreevich, it's bad, brother!
He often favors me;
I am glad to everyone, you know;
In Moscow, they will add forever three times:
It's like marrying Sonya. Empty!
He, perhaps, would be glad to have a soul,
Yes, I don't see the need myself, I'm big
The daughter will be given away neither tomorrow nor today;
After all, Sophia is young. However, the power of the Lord.
Please, do not argue with him at random,
And give up those wicked ideas.
However, it is not! whatever reason ...
A! know, he went to me in the other half.

Famusov
A kind person, and look - so grip,
A wonderful man, your cousin.

Skalozub
But I have firmly picked up some new rules.
Chin followed him: he suddenly left the service,
In the village I began to read books.

Skalozub
I'm pretty happy in my comrades,
Vacancies are just open:
Then the elders will turn off others,
Others, you see, have been killed.

Famusov
Yes, with what the Lord will seek, he will exalt!

Skalozub
It happens that my luck is happier.
In our fifteenth division, not far away.
At least tell about our brigadier general.

Famusov
Have mercy, what are you missing?

Skalozub
I’m not complaining, I didn’t go around,
However, they took them behind the regiment for two years.

Famusov
In pursuit of the regiment?
But, of course, in what else
To reach far behind you.

Skalozub
No, sir, there will be older ones in the body,
I have been serving since eight hundred and ninth;
Yes, to get ranks, there are many channels;
As a true philosopher, I judge about them:
I just wanted to be a general.

Famusov
And gloriously judge, God bless you
And the rank of general; and there
Why postpone further
Talk about the general?

Skalozub
Marry? I'm not averse to it.

Famusov
Well? who has a sister, a niece, a daughter;
There is no translation for brides in Moscow;
What? multiply from year to year;
And, father, admit that hardly
Where the capital is found, like Moscow.

Skalozub
The distances are huge.

Famusov
Taste, sir, excellent manner;
All laws have their own:
For example, we have been doing it from time immemorial,
What honor is there for father and son;
Be bad, but if you have enough
There are two thousand generic souls, -
He and the groom.
Be another at least quicker, inflated with all sorts of arrogance,
Let yourself be reputed to be a wise man,
And they won't include it in the family. Don't look at us.
After all, only here they also value the nobility.
Is this one thing? take you bread and salt:
Who wants to come to us - if you please;
The door is open for the invited and uninvited
Especially foreign ones;
Though an honest man, though not,
For us equally, dinner is ready for everyone.
Take you from head to toe,
All Moscow ones have a special imprint.
Please look at our youth,
On young men - sons and grandchildren;
We scold them, and if you take them apart,
At fifteen, teachers will be taught!
And our old people? - How enthusiasm will take them,
They will condemn deeds that a word is a sentence, -
After all, pole-pieces are all, nobody blows in the mustache;
And sometimes they talk about the government like that,
What if someone overheard them ... trouble!
Not that they introduced novelties - never,
God save us! No. And they will find fault
To that, to this, and more often to nothing,
They will argue, make some noise, and ... disperse.
Retired direct chancellors - in the mind!
I'll tell you, the time is not ripe,
But that will not do without them. -
And the ladies? - sunsya who, try to master;
Judges to everything, everywhere, there are no judges over them;
Behind the cards when they rise up in a general revolt,
God grant patience, - after all, I myself was married.
Command before the frunt!
Attend send them to the Senate!
Irina Vlasyevna! Lukerya Aleksevna!
Tatyana Yuryevna! Pulcheria Andrevna!
And whoever has seen daughters - hang everyone's head ...
His Majesty the King was Prussian here;
He wondered not in the way of Moscow girls,
By their good nature, not their faces;
And exactly, is it possible to be more educated!
They know how to dress up themselves
Taffeta, marigold and haze,
They will not say a word in simplicity, everything with a grimace;
French romances are sung to you
And the top ones bring out the notes
They cling to military people,
But because they are patriots.
I will resolutely say: barely
Another capital is found, like Moscow.

Skalozub
In my judgment,
The fire contributed a lot to her decoration.

Famusov
Do not remember us, you never know how they crunch!
Since then, the roads, sidewalks,
At home and everything in a new way.

Chatsky
The houses are new, but the prejudices are old.
Rejoice, do not exterminate
Neither their years, nor fashion, nor fires.

Famusov
(To Chatsky)
Hey, tie a knot as a keepsake;
I asked to be silent, the service is not great.
(To Skalozub.)
Excuse me, father. Here's - Chatsky, my friend,
Andrei Ilyich's late son:
He does not serve, that is, he does not find any benefit in that,
But if you wanted it, it would be businesslike.
It's a pity, it's a pity, he is small with a head,
And he writes and translates nicely.
One cannot help but regret that with such a mind ...

Chatsky
Can't you regret someone else?
And your praises annoy me.

Famusov
I'm not the only one, everyone also condemns.

Chatsky
Who are the judges? - For antiquity years
Their enmity is irreconcilable to a free life,
Judgments are drawn from forgotten newspapers
The times of the Ochakovskys and the conquest of the Crimea;
Always ready to play
They all sing the same song
Not noticing about myself:
Older is worse.
Where? show us, fatherland fathers,
Which ones should we take for samples?
Aren't they rich in robbery?
They found protection from the court in friends, in kinship,
Building magnificent chambers,
Where they are poured in feasts and prodigality,
And where foreign clients won't resurrect
The most vile traits of the past.
And who in Moscow didn’t have their mouths shut
Lunches, dinners and dancing?
Is it not the one you are to whom I still have from the veil,
For some incomprehensible plans,
Was the child taken to bow?
That Nestor of the noble scoundrels,
A crowd surrounded by servants;
Zealous, they are in the hours of wine and fight
Both honor and his life were saved more than once: suddenly
He traded three greyhounds for them !!!
Or that one else, which is for ventures
I drove to the serf ballet in many wagons
From mothers, fathers of rejected children ?!
Himself immersed in the mind in Zephyrs and Cupids,
Made all of Moscow marvel at their beauty!
But the debtors did not agree to the postponement:
Cupids and Zephyrs all
Sold out one by one !!!
Here are those who have lived to see the gray hair!
That is to respect whom we should be in the absence of people!
Here are our strict judges and judges!
Now let one of us,
Of young people, there is an enemy of quest,
Requiring neither places nor promotion,
In science he will stick a mind hungry for knowledge;
Or God himself will stir up a fever in his soul
To the creative arts, high and beautiful, -
They immediately: robbery! fire!
And he will be known as a dreamer! dangerous !! -
Tunic! one uniform! he is in their former life
Once covered, embroidered and beautiful,
Their weakness, misery of reason;
And we will follow them on a happy journey!
And in wives, daughters - the same passion for uniforms!
I myself have long renounced tenderness for him ?!
Now I cannot fall into this childishness;
But then who would not get involved in everyone?
When from the guard, others from the court
They came here for a while, -
The women were shouting: hurray!
And they threw their caps into the air!

Famusov
(inwardly)
He will get me into trouble.
(Loud.)
Sergey Sergeich, I will go
And I will wait for you in the office.

Sofia
No, stay if you wish.

Phenomenon 9

Sofia, Liza, Chatsky, Skalozub, Molchalin(with a tied hand).

Skalozub
Resurrected and unharmed, hand
Bruised slightly
And, by the way, everything is a false alarm.

Molchalin
I scared you, forgive for God's sake.

Skalozub
Well! I didn't know what would come of it
Irritation for you. They ran in with a check. -
We shuddered! - You fainted,
So what then? - all fear out of nothing.

Sofia
(without looking at anyone)
Oh! I see very much, from the empty,
And I'm still trembling all over.

Chatsky
(inwardly)
Not a word with Molchalin!

Sofia
However, I will say about myself,
That is not cowardly. It happens,
The carriage will fall down - they will raise: I again
Ready to ride again;
But the slightest thing about others scares me
Although there is no great misfortune from
Though unfamiliar to me, it doesn’t matter.

Chatsky
(inwardly)
Asks for forgiveness from him,
What if I regretted someone!

Skalozub
Let me tell you the message:
There is some kind of princess Lasova here,
Horsewoman, widow, but no examples
So that many gentlemen went with her.
The other day I got hurt in fluff, -
Joquet did not support, he thought, apparently, flies. -
And without that, as you can hear, she is clumsy,
Now the rib is missing
So he is looking for a husband for support.

Sofia
Ah, Alexander Andreevich, here -
Appear you are quite generous:
Unfortunately for your neighbor, you are so indifferent.

Chatsky
Yes, sir, I have just revealed it,
By my most diligent endeavor,
And sprinkle and scrub,
I don’t know for whom, but I have resurrected you.

(Takes his hat and leaves.)

Phenomenon 10

The same, except Chatsky.

Sofia
Will you come to us in the evening?

Skalozub
How early?

Sofia
Early home friends will arrive
Dance to the piano
We are in mourning, so the ball cannot be given.

Skalozub
I will, but I promised to go to the priest,
I will take my leave.

Sofia
Farewell.

Skalozub
(shakes hands with Molchalin)
Your servant.

Natalia Dmitrievna
Platon Mihalich my health is very weak.

Chatsky
Weak health! How long has it been?

Natalia Dmitrievna
All the redness and headaches.

Chatsky
Movement over. To the village, to a warm land.
Be on horseback more often. The village is paradise in summer.

Natalia Dmitrievna
Platon Mikhailich loves the city,
Moscow; why in the wilderness he will ruin his days!

Chatsky
Moscow and the city ... You are an eccentric!
Do you remember the old days?

Platon Mikhailovich
Yes, brother, now it's not like that ...

Natalia Dmitrievna
Oh! my friend!
It's so fresh here that there is no urine,
You flung open all over, and unbuttoned your vest.

Platon Mikhailovich
Now, brother, I'm not the same ...

Natalia Dmitrievna
Obey once
My dear, zip up soon.

Platon Mikhailovich
(coolly)
Now.

Natalia Dmitrievna
Get away from the doors
The wind blows through there from behind!

Platon Mikhailovich
Now, brother, I'm not the same ...

Natalia Dmitrievna
My angel, for God's sake
Move further from the door.

Platon Mikhailovich
(eyes to the sky)
Oh! mother!

Chatsky
Well, God judge you;
You certainly became the wrong one in a short time;
Was it not last year, at the end,
Did I know you in the regiment? only morning: foot in the stirrup
And you run on a greyhound stallion;
Blow the autumn wind, either from the front or from the rear.

Platon Mikhailovich
(with a sigh)
Eh! brother! it was a glorious life then.

Phenomenon 7

The same, Prince Tugoukhovsky and Princess with six daughters.

Natalia Dmitrievna
(in a thin voice)
Prince Pyotr Ilyich, princess, my God!
Princess Zizi! Mimi!
(Loud kissing, then sit down and examine each other from head to toe.)

1st princess
What a beautiful style!

2nd princess
What folds!

1st princess
Fringed trim.

Natalia Dmitrievna
No, if they had seen, my tulur is satin!

3rd princess
What an esharp cousin gave me!

4th princess
Oh! yes, barge!

5th princess
Oh! lovely!

6th princess
Oh! how sweet!

Princess
Ss! - Who is this in the corner, we went up, bowed?

Natalia Dmitrievna
Visitor, Chatsky.

Princess
Retired?

Natalia Dmitrievna
Yes, I have traveled, recently returned.

Princess
And ho-lo-stay?

Natalia Dmitrievna
Yes, not married.

Princess
Prince, prince, here. - Livelier.

Prince
(turns the auditory tube to her)
Oh-hmm!

Princess
Come to us for the evening, on Thursday, ask soon
Natalya Dmitrevna's acquaintance: there he is!

Prince
And-hmm!
(He leaves, winds around Chatsky and clears his throat)

Princess
Here are some kids:
They have a ball, and the priest dragged along to bow;
Dancers have become terribly rare! ..
Is he a chamber junker?

Natalia Dmitrievna
No.

Princess
Bo-gat?

Natalia Dmitrievna
O! No!

Princess
(loudly that there is urine)
Prince, prince! Back!

Phenomenon 8

The same and Countess Hryumina: grandmother and granddaughter.

Countess-granddaughter
Oh! grand'maman! Well, who comes so early!
We are first!
(Disappears into a side room.)

Princess
Here he is honoring us!
Here is the first one, and he considers us to be no one!
Evil, in girls a whole century, God will forgive her.

Countess-granddaughter
(returning, directs a double lorgnette at Chatsky)
Monsieur Chatsky! Are you in Moscow! how were they all like that?

Chatsky
What should I change for?

Countess-granddaughter
Unmarried returned?

Chatsky
Who should I marry?

Countess-granddaughter
In foreign lands on whom?
O! our darkness without distant information
They marry there and give us kinship
With the masters of fashionable shops.

Chatsky
Unhappy! Shouldn't there be reproaches
From imitators to milliners?
For daring to prefer
Originals to lists?

Phenomenon 9

The same and many other guests. By the way, Zagoretsky. Men come, shuffle, step aside, wander from room to room, and so on. Sofia out of himself, everything to meet her.

Countess-granddaughter
Eh! bon soir! vous voila! Jamais trop diligente,
Vous nous donnez toujours le plaisir de l'attente.

Zagoretsky
(Sophia)
Do you have a ticket for tomorrow's show?

Sofia
No.

Zagoretsky
Let me hand you over, in vain would anyone take
Another to serve you, but
Wherever I rushed!
To the office - everything is taken,
To the director - he is my friend, -
With dawn at six o'clock, and by the way, eh!
Already in the evening no one could get it;
Moreover, to this, I knocked everyone down;
And this one finally kidnapped by force
One, the old man is frail,
My friend, a famous homebody;
Let him sit at home alone.

Sofia
Thank you for the ticket
And for the effort twice.
(Some more appear, meanwhile Zagoretsky goes to the men.)

Zagoretsky
Platon Mikhailich ...

Platon Mikhailovich
Away!
Go to women, lie to them, and fool them;
I'll tell you the truth about you,
Which is worse than any lie. Here, brother,
(To Chatsky)
recommend!
What are the more courteous names of such people?
Tenderer? - he is a secular person,
A notorious swindler, rogue:
Anton Antonich Zagoretsky.
Beware of him: carry a lot,
And don't get into cards: he will sell.

Zagoretsky
Original! grumpy, but without the slightest malice.

Chatsky
And to be offended you would be ridiculous;
Besides honesty, there are many joys:
They scold here and thank you there.

Platon Mikhailovich
Oh no, brother, they scold us
Everywhere, but everywhere they accept.

(Zagoretsky gets in the crowd.)

Phenomenon 10

The same and Khlestova.

Khlestova
Is it easy at sixty-five
Dragging me to you, niece? .. - Torment!
I drove for an hour from Pokrovka, no strength;
Night is the end of the world!
Out of boredom, I took with me
Little arapka and a dog;
Tell them to feed, my dear friend;
Dinner got a handout. -
Princess, hello!
(She sat down.)
Well, Sofyushka, my friend,
What is my arap for services:
Curly! the hump of the shoulder blade!
Angry! all the cat's grips!
How black! how terrible!
After all, the Lord created such a tribe!
Damn it; in the girl's she is;
Should I call?

Sofia
No, sir, at another time.

Khlestova
Imagine: they are displayed like animals ...
I heard that there ... the city is Turkish ...
Do you know who has saved for me?
Anton Antonich Zagoretsky.
(Zagoretsky moves forward.)
He is a liar, a gambler, a thief.
(Zagoretsky disappears.)
I was from him and the doors were locked;
Yes, master to serve: me and sister Praskovya
I got two arapchens at the fair;
Bought, he says, he cheated tea into cards;
And me a present, God grant him health!

Chatsky
(laughing to Platon Mikhailovich)
It will not be good for such praise,
And Zagoretsky himself could not stand it, he disappeared.

Khlestova
Who is this merry fellow? From what rank?

Sofia
This one over there? Chatsky.

Khlestova
Well? and what did you find funny?
What is he glad about? What's the laugh?
It's a sin to laugh at old age.
I remember you often danced with him as a child,
I scolded him by the ears, just a little.

Phenomenon 11

The same and Famusov.

Famusov
(loudly)
We are waiting for Prince Peter Ilyich,
And the prince is already here! And I was huddled there, in the portrait room.
Where is Skalozub Sergey Sergeich? a?
No, it seems not. - He is a noticeable person -
Sergey Sergeich Skalozub.

Khlestova
My Creator! deafened, louder than any trumpets.

Phenomenon 12

The same Skalozub, after Molchalin.

Famusov
Sergei Sergeich, too late;
And we were waiting for you, waiting for you, waiting for you.
(Leads to Khlestova.)
My daughter-in-law, who has been
It has been said about you.

Khlestova
(sitting)
You were here before ... in the regiment ... in that ...
in grenadier?

Skalozub
(in bass)
His highness, you mean
Novo-Zemlyansky Musketeer.

Khlestova
I am not a craftswoman to distinguish the shelves.

Skalozub
And the uniforms have differences:
In uniforms, edging, shoulder straps, buttonholes.

Famusov
Come on, father, I'll make you laugh there;
We have a curious whist. Follow us, prince! I beg.
(He and the prince takes away with him.)

Khlestova
(Sofia)
Wow! I got rid of the loop quite a bit;
After all, your crazy father:
He was given three fathoms a daring man, -
Introduces, without asking, is it pleasant for us, isn't it?

Molchalin
(hands her the card)
I made up your party: Monsieur Kok,
Foma Fomich and me.

Khlestova
Thank you my friend.
(Stands up.)

Molchalin
Your Pomeranian is an adorable Pomeranian, no more than a thimble;
I stroked it all: like silk wool!

Khlestova
Thank you my dear.

(She leaves, followed by Molchalin and many others.)

Phenomenon 13

Chatsky, Sofia and a few outsiders, which continue to diverge.

Chatsky
Well! dispersed the cloud ...

Sofia
Can't we not continue?

Chatsky
What did I scare you with?
For the fact that he softened the angry guest,
I wanted to praise.

Sofia
And they would have ended in anger.

Chatsky
Tell you what I thought? Here:
All old women are angry people;
It is not bad that they have a famous servant
Here it was like a thunderous tap.
Molchalin! - Who else will settle everything so peacefully!
There the pug will stroke the pug in time,
Here in time he will rub the card,
Zagoretsky will not die in it!
You gave it to me to calculate the properties,
But many have forgotten? - Yes?

Princess
No, in St. Petersburg the institute
Pe-da-go-gic, so, it seems, the name is:
There they practice splits and unbeliefs,
Professors !! - our relatives studied with them,
And went out! even now to the pharmacy, as an apprentice.
Runs from women, and even from me!
Chinov doesn't want to know! He is a chemist, he is a botanist
Prince Fyodor, my nephew.

Skalozub
I will please you: everyone's rumor,
That there is a project about lyceums, schools, gymnasiums;
There they will only teach according to ours: one, two;
And the books will be kept like this: for big occasions.

Famusov
Sergei Sergeich, no! If you stop evil:
Take all the books, but burn them.

Zagoretsky
(with meekness)
No, sir, books are different. And if, between us,
I was appointed censor
Would lay on fables; Oh! fables are my death!
Eternal mockery of lions! over the eagles!
Whoever says anything:
Although they are animals, they are still kings.

Khlestova
My fathers, whoever is upset in the mind,
So all the same, whether from books or from drinking;
And I'm sorry for Chatsky.
In a Christian way; he is worthy of pity,
He was a sharp man, had three hundred souls.

Famusov
Four.

Khlestova
Three, sir.

Famusov
Four hundred.

Khlestova
No! three hundred.

Famusov
On my calendar ...

Khlestova
The calendars are all lying.

Famusov
Just four hundred, oh! argue with a voicesman!

Khlestova
No! three hundred! - I don’t know someone else’s estates!

Famusov
Four hundred, please understand.

Khlestova
No! three hundred, three hundred, three hundred.

Phenomenon 22

The same all and Chatsky.

Natalia Dmitrievna
Here it is.

Countess-granddaughter
Shh!

Everything
Shh!
(They back away from him in the opposite direction.)

Khlestova
Well, from crazy eyes
He will start to fight, he will demand to be butchered!

Famusov
Oh my God! have mercy on us sinners!
(Dangerously.)
My dearest! You are not at ease.
Sleep is needed from the road. Give me a pulse. You are not well.

Chatsky
Yes, no urine: a million torments
Breasts from a friendly grip
Feet from shuffling, ears from exclamations,
And worse than the head from all sorts of trifles.
(Approaches Sophia.)
My soul here is squeezed by some kind of grief,
And in the crowd I am lost, not myself.
No! I'm not happy with Moscow.

Khlestova
Moscow, you see, is to blame.

Sofia
(To Chatsky)
Tell me what makes you so angry?

Chatsky
In that room, an insignificant meeting:
Frenchie from Bordeaux, pulling on his chest,
Gathered around himself a family of veche
And he said how he got ready for the journey
To Russia, to the barbarians, with fear and tears;
I came - and found that there is no end to caresses;
Not a sound of a Russian, not a Russian face
I have not met: as if in the fatherland, with friends;
Own province. Look, in the evening
He feels like a little king here;
The ladies have the same sense, the same outfits ...
He's happy, but we're not happy.
Stopped, and then from all sides
Longing, and groaning, and moaning.
Oh! France! There is no better edge in the world! -
Decided two princesses, sisters, repeating
The lesson that they have done from childhood.
Where to go from the princesses!
I sent desires odal
Humble but out loud
So that the Lord destroy this unclean spirit
Empty, slavish, blind imitation;
So that he sows a spark in someone with a soul,
Who could by word and example
Hold us like a strong cart,
From pathetic nausea on the side of the stranger.
Let me be called an Old Believer,
But our North is worse for me a hundred times
Since I gave everything in exchange for a new way -
And manners, and language, and holy old times,
And stately clothes for another
On the clownish model:
The tail is in the back, in the front there is some kind of wonderful recess,
Reason in spite of, in defiance of the elements;
The movements are connected, and there is no beauty on the face;
Funny, shaved, gray chins!
Both dresses, hair, and minds are short! ..
Oh! if we are born to take over everything,
If only we could borrow from the Chinese
Wise their ignorance of foreigners.
Shall we rise again from the foreign rule of fashion?
So that our smart, cheerful people
Although by language he did not consider us Germans.
"How to put the European in parallel
With the national - something strange!
Well how to translate madame and mademoiselle?
Uhli madam!! " - someone muttered to me ...
Imagine everyone here
At my expense, laughter arose.
« Madam! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! wonderful!
Madam! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! terrible!!" -
I, angry and cursing life,
I prepared a thunderous answer for them;
But everyone left me. -
Here is a case with me, it is not new;
Moscow and Petersburg - in all of Russia,
That a man from the city of Bordeaux
Only opened his mouth, he has happiness
To instill participation in all princesses;
And in St. Petersburg and in Moscow,
Who is the enemy of discharged persons, pretentious, curly words,
In whose, unfortunately, head
Five, six there are healthy thoughts
And he dares to declare them publicly, -
Lo and behold ...

(Looks around, everyone is spinning in a waltz with the greatest zeal. The old men scattered to the card tables.)

Zagoretsky
And by the way, here is Prince Pyotr Ilyich,
The princess and the princesses.

Repetilov
Game.

Phenomenon 7

Repetilov, Zagoretsky, Prince and Princess with six daughters; a little later Khlestova descends from the front staircase, Molchalin leads her by the arm. Lackeys in the hustle and bustle.

Zagoretsky
Princess, please, tell me your opinion,
Mad Chatsky or not?

1st princess
What doubt about that?

2nd princess
The whole world knows about it.

3rd princess
Dryansky, Khvorovs, Varlyansky, Skachkovs.

4th princess
Oh! to lead the old, to whom are they new?

5th princess
Who doubts?

Zagoretsky
But he doesn't believe ...

6th princess
(To Repetilov)
You!

Together
Msieu Repetilov! You! Msieu Repetilov! what do you!
How are you! Is it possible against everyone!
Why are you? shame and laughter.

Repetilov
(covers his ears)
Sorry, I didn't know it was too public.

Princess
It wouldn’t be clear yet, it’s dangerous to talk to him,
It would be high time to lock up.
Listen, so his little finger
Smarter than everyone, and even Prince Peter!
I think he's just a Jacobin
Your Chatsky !!! .. Let's go. Prince, you could carry
Kate or Zizi, we'll sit in a six-seater.

Khlestova
(from the stairs)
Princess, a card debt.

Princess
Follow me, mother.

Everything
(each other)
Farewell.

(The princely surname leaves and Zagoretsky too.)

Phenomenon 8

Repetilov, Khlestova, Molchalin.

Repetilov
Heavenly king!
Amfisa Nilovna! Oh! Chatsky! poor! here!
What is our lofty mind! and a thousand worries!
Tell me, from what in the world we are bothering!

Khlestova
So God judged him; but by the way
Cure, cure, maybe;
And you, my father, are incurable, at least give it up.
Deigned to appear in time! -
Molchalin, there is your closet,
No wires needed; God be with you.
(Molchalin goes to his room.)
Goodbye, father; it's time to go crazy.

(Leaves.)

Phenomenon 9

Repetilov with his a lackey.

Repetilov
Where should the path go now?
And it already goes to dawn.
Come put me in the carriage
Take it somewhere.

(Leaves.)

Phenomenon 10

The last lamp goes out.

Chatsky
(out of swiss)
What is it? did I hear with my ears!
Not laughter, but clearly anger. What miracles?
What kind of witchcraft
Everyone repeats the absurdity about me!
And for some it is like a celebration,
Others seem to be compassionate ...
O! if someone penetrated people:
What's worse about them? soul or tongue?
Whose composition is this!
The fools believed, they pass it on to others,
The old women instantly sound the alarm -
And here is the public opinion!
And that homeland ... No, on this visit,
I see that I will soon get tired of it.
Does Sophia know? - Of course they did,
She's not exactly to my detriment
Have fun, whether it's true or not
She doesn’t care if it’s different, if it’s me
She does not value anyone by conscience.
But this swoon? unconsciousness where ??
Nerve spoiled, fad, -
A little will stir them up, and a little will calm them down, -
I counted as a sign of living passions. - Not a crumb:
She certainly would have lost the same strength
When would anyone step
On the tail of a dog or cat.

Sofia
(above the stairs on the second floor, with a candle)
Molchalin, are you?
(Hastily locks the door again.)

Chatsky
She! she herself!
Oh! my head is on fire, all my blood is in excitement!
Appeared! there is no it! not in a vision?
Am I really out of my mind?
For the extraordinary I am certainly prepared;
But it’s not a vision here, an hour has been agreed upon.
Why should I deceive myself?
Molchalin was calling, here is his room.

His lackey
(from the porch)
Kare ...

Chatsky
Ss! ..
(Pushes him out.)
I'll be here, and I don't close my eyes
Until the morning. If grief is drunk,
It's better this way
Than to procrastinate, and troubles cannot be relieved by slowness.
The door opens.

(Hides behind a column.)

Phenomenon 11

Chatsky hidden, Lisa with a candle.

Lisa
Oh! no urine! I am shy:
Into the empty canopy! at night! you are afraid of brownies
You are also afraid of living people.
Tormentor-young lady, God bless her.
And Chatsky, like a thorn in the eye;
See, he seemed to her somewhere down here.
(Looks around.)
Yes! how! he wants to wander through the hallways!
He, tea, has long been outside the gate,
I took care of love for tomorrow
Home - and went to bed.
However, it is ordered to push to the heart.
(Knocks on Molchalin.)
Listen, sir. Wake up, please.
The young lady is calling you, the young lady is calling you.
Yes, hurry up so they don't get caught.

Phenomenon 12

Chatsky behind the column, Liza, Molchalin(stretches and yawns). Sofia(sneaks up on top).

Lisa
You, sir, stone, sir, ice.

Molchalin
Oh! Lizanka, are you on your own?

Lisa
From the young lady, sir.

Molchalin
Who would have guessed
What is in these cheeks, in these veins
Love has not yet played a blush!
Do you want to be only on parcels?

Lisa
And to you, bride seekers,
Not to bask and not to yawn;
Nice and nice, who will not finish eating
And will not sleep until the wedding.

Molchalin
What wedding? with whom?

Lisa
And with the young lady?

Molchalin
Come on
There is much hope ahead
We spend time without a wedding.

Lisa
What are you, sir! yes we are
Your own husbands to others?

Molchalin
Do not know. And I am so shivering
And at one thought I am distressing,
That Pavel Afanasyevich once
Will catch us someday
Disperse, curse! .. But what? Should I open my soul?
I don't see anything in Sofya Pavlovna
Enviable. May God grant her a century to live richly,
She loved Chatsky once,
He will stop loving me like him.
My angel, I would like to half
Feel the same for her as I feel for you;
No, no matter how I tell myself,
I am getting ready to be gentle, but I am going to meet - and a sheet.

Sofia
(to the side)
What baseness!

Chatsky
(behind the column)
Scoundrel!

Lisa
Are you not ashamed?

Molchalin
My father bequeathed to me:
First, to please all people without exception -
The owner, where he will live,
To the chief with whom I will serve,
To his servant who cleans dresses,
Swiss, janitor, to avoid evil,
To the janitor's dog, to be affectionate.

Lisa
To say, sir, you have tremendous tutelage!

Molchalin
And now I take the form of a lover
To please the daughter of such a person ...

Lisa
Which feeds and drinks,
And sometimes he will give him a rank?
Come on, we've talked enough.

Molchalin
Let's go love to share our deplorable stolen.
Let me hug you from the heart of fullness.
(Lisa is not given.)
Why isn't she you!
(She wants to go, Sofia won't let her.)

Sofia
(almost in a whisper, the whole scene in an undertone)
Go further, I've heard a lot,
Horrible man! I am ashamed of myself, of the walls.

Molchalin
How! Sofya Pavlovna ...

Sofia
Not a word, for God's sake
Be quiet, I will decide on anything.

Molchalin
(throws herself on her knees, Sofia pushes him away)
Oh, remember, do not be angry, take a look! ..

Sofia
I don’t remember anything, don’t bother me.
Memories! like a sharp knife onet.

Molchalin
(crawls at her feet)
Have mercy ...

Sofia
Don't screw it up, stand up
I don't want an answer, I know your answer,
You're lying ...

Molchalin
Do me mercy ...

Sofia
No. No. No.

Molchalin
I was joking, and I didn’t say anything, besides ...

Sofia
Leave me alone, I say now,
I will wake up everyone in the house with a cry,
And I will destroy myself and you.
(Molchalin gets up.)
I didn't seem to know you since then.
Reproaches, complaints, my tears
Don't you dare to expect, you are not worth them;
But so that the dawn does not find you in the house here,
So that I never hear about you again.

Molchalin
As you command.

Sofia
Otherwise I'll tell
The whole truth to the priest with annoyance.
You know that I do not value myself.
Come on. - Wait, be glad
That when dating me in the stillness of the night
You held on more to timidity in your disposition,
Than even during the day, and in public, and in Java,
You have less insolence than curvature of the soul.
I myself am glad that I found out everything at night,
There are no reproachful witnesses in the eyes
How long ago, when I fainted,
Here Chatsky was ...

Chatsky
(rushes between them)
He's here, pretender!

Lisa and Sophia
Oh! Oh!..

(Liza drops the candle in fright; Molchalin disappears into her room.)

Phenomenon 13

The same, except Molchalin.

Chatsky
Rather faint, now it's okay
More important than the current reason is
Here is finally the solution to the riddle!
Here I am donated to whom!
I don’t know how I tempered my fury!
He looked, and saw, and did not believe!
And dear, for whom is forgotten
And a former friend, and a woman's fear and shame, -
Hiding behind the door, afraid to be held accountable.
Oh! how to comprehend the game of fate?
People with a soul persecutor, scourge! -
The taciturns are blissful in the world!

Sofia
(all in tears)
Don't go on, I blame myself all around.
But who would have thought that he was so cunning!

Lisa
Knock! noise! Oh! My God! the whole house runs here.
Your father, that will be grateful.

Phenomenon 14

Chatsky, Sofia, Liza, Famusov, a crowd of servants with candles.

Famusov
Here! Behind me! hurry up!
More candles, more lanterns!
Where are the brownies? Bah! all familiar faces!
Daughter, Sofya Pavlovna! page!
Shameless woman! where! with whom! Neither give nor take, she
Like her mother, a deceased wife.
I used to be with my dearest half
A little apart - somewhere with a man!
Fear God, how? how did he seduce you?
She herself called him insane!
No! stupidity has attacked me and blindness has attacked me!
All this is a conspiracy, and in the conspiracy was
He himself and all guests. Why am I so punished! ..

Chatsky
(Sofia)
So I still owe you this fiction?

Famusov
Brother, do not trick, I will not give in to deception,
Even if you fight, I won't believe it.
You, Filka, you are a straight block,
I made a lazy grouse into the doormen,
Doesn't know about anything, doesn't smell anything.
Where have you been? where did you go?
Senya not locked for what?
And how did you miss it? and how did you not hear?
To work you, to settle you:
They are ready to sell me for a penny.
You, quick-eyed, are all from your mischief;
Here it is, Kuznetsky Most, outfits and updates;
There you learned to bring lovers together,
Wait, I'll fix you:
Please go to the Izba, march for the birds.
Yes, and you, my friend, I, my daughter, will not leave,
Take two more days:
You will not be in Moscow, you will not live with people.
Further away from these grips,
To the village, to my aunt, to the wilderness, to Saratov,
There you will grieve
Sit at the embroidery frame, yawn at the calendar.
And you, sir, I really ask
There is no favor either directly or on a dirt road;
And this is your last line
What, tea, the door to everyone will be locked:
I will try, I, I will sound the alarm,
I'll make it all over the city,
And I will announce to all the people:
I will send it to the Senate, to the ministers, to the sovereign.

Chatsky
(after some silence)
I won’t come to my senses ... I’m to blame
And I listen, I don't understand
As if they still want to explain to me
Lost in thought ... expecting something.
(With heat.)
Blind man! in whom I was looking for the reward of all labors!
I was in a hurry! .. I was flying! trembled! here is happiness, I thought, close.
To whom am I so passionate and so low
Was a waster of tender words!
And you! Oh my goodness! Whom have you chosen?
When I think about who you prefer!
Why have I been lured with hope?
Why didn't they tell me directly
That all the past have you turned into laughter ?!
That the memory even hated you
Those feelings, in both of us the movements of those hearts
Which in me did not cool down any distance,
No entertainment, no changing places.
I breathed and lived with them, I was busy incessantly!
They would say that you are my sudden arrival,
My appearance, my words, deeds - everything is disgusting, -
I would immediately cut off intercourse with you,
And before parting forever
Wouldn't really get there
Who is this dear person to you? ..
(Mockingly.)
You will make peace with him by mature reflection.
Destroy yourself, and for what!
Think you can always have it
Protect, and swaddle, and send for business.
Husband-boy, husband-servant, from wife's pages -
The high ideal of all Moscow husbands. -
Enough! .. with you I am proud of my break.
And you, sir, father, you who are passionate about ranks:
I wish you to doze in ignorance, happy,
I do not threaten you with my matchmaking.
There is another well-behaved
Low-worshiper and businessman,
Finally, the merits
He is an equal to the future father-in-law.
So! I sobered up in full,
Dreams out of sight - and the veil fell;
Now it would not be bad in a row
To the daughter and to the father,
And a foolish lover
And pour out all the bile and all the annoyance to the whole world.
Who was he with! Where fate has thrown me!
Everyone is driving! everyone swears! A crowd of torturers
In the love of traitors, in the enmity of the tireless,
The indomitable storytellers
Ungainly clever, crafty simpletons,
Sinister old women, old men,
Decrepit over inventions, nonsense, -
You glorified me insane with your whole chorus.
You are right: he will come out of the fire unharmed,
Who will have time to stay with you for the day,
Breathe the air alone
And in him the reason will survive.
Get out of Moscow! here I am no longer a rider.
I'm running, I won't look back, I'm going to look around the world,
Where the offended feeling has a corner! ..
Carriage to me, carriage!

(Leaves.)

In government circles, Lancaster schools were viewed with suspicion as a hotbed of free thinking. The same reputation was enjoyed by boarding schools (Noble boarding house at Moscow University), the Lyceum (Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum) and the Pedagogical Institute (St. Petersburg Pedagogical Institute).

Famusov Perhaps he'll put all the fuss on me. At the wrong time my voice caused them anxiety! Sofia In a vague dream, a trifle disturbs; Tell you a dream: you will understand then. Famusov What's the story? Sofia Tell you? Famusov Well, yes. (Sits down.) Sofia Let ... see eh ... first Flowery meadow; and I was looking for Some Grass, I don't remember in reality. Suddenly a dear person, one of those whom we will see - as if we have known each other for a century, Appeared here with me; and insinuating, and smart, But timid ... Do you know who was born in poverty ... Famusov Oh! mother, do not finish the blow! The poor man is not your match. Sofia Then everything disappeared: the meadows and the heavens. - We're in a dark room. To complete the miracle The floor was opened - and you from there, Pale as death, and hair on end! Then, with a thunder, the doors were thrown open Some not people and not animals, We were apart - and tortured the one who was sitting with me. He seems to me dearer than all the treasures, I want to see him - you drag with you: We are escorted by the groan, roar, laughter, whistle of monsters! He shouts after! .. - I woke up. - Someone says - your voice was; what i think is so early? I run here - and I find both of you. Famusov Yes, a bad dream, I see. Everything is here, if there is no deception: And devils and love, and fears and flowers. Well, my sir, and you? Molchalin I heard your voice. Famusov It's funny. My voice was given to them, and how properly everyone hears it, and calls everyone before dawn! I was in a hurry to my voice, for what? - speak. Molchalin With papers, sir. Famusov Yes! they were missing. Have mercy that this zeal suddenly fell into writing! (Stands up.) Well, Sonya, I'll give you peace: There are strange dreams, but in reality they are stranger; You were looking for herbs, You came across a friend sooner; Get the nonsense out of your head; Where there are miracles, there is little stock. - Come on, lie down, sleep again. (To Molchalin) We go to sort the papers. Molchalin I only carried them for the report, That it is impossible to use it without certificates, without others, There are contradictions, and much is not practical. Famusov I am afraid, sir, I am alone deadly, So that many do not accumulate; Give free rein to you, it would have sat down; And for me, what is business, what is not business, My custom is this: Signed, so off your shoulders. (He leaves with Molchalin, passes him ahead at the door.)

APPEARANCE 5

Sofia, Lisa. Lisa Well, here's the holiday! Well, here's the fun! However, no, now it’s no laughing matter; It is dark in the eyes, and the soul froze; Sin is not a problem, rumor is not good. Sofia What is the rumor to me? Whoever wants to judge, Yes, the father will force you to think: Obese, restless, quick, Such is always, and from now on ... You can judge ... Lisa I'm not judging by stories; He forbid you, - good is still with me; And then, have mercy on God, just at once Me, Molchalin and everyone out of the yard. Sofia Just think how capricious happiness is! It happens worse, get away with it; When sad nothing comes to mind, Forgotten by the music, and time passed so smoothly; Fate seemed to take care of us; No worry, no doubt ... And grief awaits from around the corner. Lisa Here's something, sir, you do not like my stupid judgment Never: But that's the problem. What is a better prophet for you? I repeated: in love there will be no good in this For ever and ever. Like everyone in Moscow, your father is like this: He would like a son-in-law with stars, but with ranks, And with the stars, not everyone is rich, between us; Well, of course, besides, money, to live, so that he could give balls; For example, Colonel Skalozub: And the golden bag, and marks the generals. Sofia How sweet! and the fear is fun to me To hear about the frunt * and the ranks; He hasn’t uttered a clever word at all, - I don’t care what is for him, what is in the water. Lisa Yes, sir, so to speak, he is spoken, but painfully not cunning; But be a military man, be he a civilian, * Who is so sensitive, and cheerful, and sharp, Like Alexander Andreich Chatsky! Not to embarrass you; It's been a long time ago, I can't turn it back, but I remember ... Sofia What do you remember? He gloriously knows how to laugh everyone; Chatting, joking, it's funny to me; You can share laughter with everyone. Lisa But only? as if? - I was shedding tears, I remember, poor man, how he parted with you. - What, sir, crying? live laughing ... And he answered: "It's not for nothing, Liza, I'm crying: Who knows what I'll find when I come back? And how much, maybe, I'll lose!" The poor thing seemed to know that in three years ... Sofia Listen, don't take too much liberty. I am very windy, maybe I did, And I know, and I blame; but where did she change? To whom? so that they could reproach infidelity. Yes, with Chatsky, it is true, we were brought up, grew up: The habit of being together every day inseparably Tied us with childhood friendship; but then He moved out, he felt bored with us, And he rarely visited our house; Then he again pretended to be in love, Demanding and distressed !!. Oster, clever, eloquent, He is especially happy in his friends, Here he thought of himself highly ... The hunt to wander attacked him, Ah! If someone loves whom, Why should the mind seek and travel so far? Lisa Where is it worn? in which parts? He was treated, they say, on sour waters, * Not from illness, tea, from boredom - more freely. Sofia And, probably, happy where people are funnier. Whom I love is not like that: Molchalin, ready to forget myself for others, Enemy of insolence - always shyly, timidly I kiss the night with whom you can spend this way! We are sitting, and the yard has turned white for a long time, What do you think? what are you doing? Lisa God knows, madam, is this my business? Sofia He will take his hand, shake his heart, Sighs from the depths of his soul, Not a word of freedom, and so the whole night goes by, Hand with hand, and does not take his eyes off me. - Laughing! is it possible! what reason did I give you for such laughter! Lisa Me, sir? .. your aunt has now come to mind, How a young Frenchman ran away from her house. Darling! I wanted to bury My annoyance, I could not: I forgot to blacken my hair And after three days turned gray. (He continues to laugh.) Sofia (with chagrin) They'll talk about me in the same way. Lisa Forgive me, really, as God is holy, I wanted this stupid laugh to help you cheer up a little.

What is your father? all English klob Old, faithful member to the grave? Has your uncle jumped off his age? And this one, how is he, is he a Turk or a Greek? Тот черномазенький, на ножках журавлиных, Не знаю, как его зовут, Куда ни сунься: тут как тут, В столовых и в гостиных. And three of the tabloid faces * Who have been younger since half a century? They have a million relatives, and with the help of their sisters, they will become related throughout Europe. And our sun? our treasure? On the forehead it is written: Theater and Maskerad; * The house is painted with greenery in the form of a grove, He is fat himself, his artists are lean. At the ball, remember, we opened it together Behind the screens, in one of the more secret rooms, A man was hidden and clicked a nightingale, A singer of summer weather in winter.

And how do I find you? in some strict rank! I endure coldness for half an hour! The face of the most holy praying mantis! .. - And yet I love you without memory. (Minute silence.) Listen, are my words all the pegs? And leaning towards someone else's harm? But if so: mind and heart are out of tune.
