Anna Pavlova (1983–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
I humbly ask you to forgive,
Mrs. Pavlova, your passport.
I ask you to.
I am glad to welcome you
within the Russian Empire.
Thanks to.
Young lady.
What's wrong with you?
Your face is frostbitten.
To my mind.
Uncle, look.
Girl!
Girl, who are you?
To Mom.
To Luba, right?
Love!
Annushka!
God, Annushka.
- Yes, what are you doing?
- Mum.
- I saw them. - Oh my God...
Just like white angels.
Small. Small.
Mom, I saw them. Little ballerinas.
I will buy you colored threads.
Do you love to embroider?
Love.
And you'll be the best in town.
A cab will be sent for you.
Which means
will be waiting for you.
Mum. Mum!
God.
They are the same as me.
- God... - Mom.
Mum.
- Small. - Give me an oath.
That you take me to a school for little ballerinas.
- Okay, Anya.
- Let's sleep. - Please mom.
Otherwise, I won't get well, Mom.
Sleep, angel.
Annushka.
Would you like to dance
like these boys and girls?
No.
Mother Mother!
I will be sleeping beauty.
I will dance here. Then at the theatre.
I promise you mom.
Hello.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
What is your name,
sweet lady?
Anna Pavlova.
And you?
Marius Petipa.
Your most obedient servant.
What do you want to
dance, pretty young lady?
Everything.
It's difficult.
Can you?
But if I fail,
then I'd rather die.
- My little...
Well...
More. Higher.
Calmly.
Calm down, calm down.
Bend some more.
- Like this.
“The girl has lovely flexibility.
Do not be afraid.
Good. Well.
You teach, you decide.
And one, two, three, four.
One... Pavlova, knee!
One two three four.
Back, Pavlova!
Injection.
Fingers.
Pull your knee, pull!
Do not Cry.
Anh, don't cry.
One two three four.
One, two, three...
Well, the Lord is with you. Break.
I'm afraid to think about her future.
Capable
so weak.
- Katenka, this is all at birth.
Believe me...
- No twisting in the legs.
She doesn't know that there
can be another way in ballet,
at the end of which the muscles dry
and bone is formed.
That the heart may one day stop
obey the will and shatter into pieces.
Pavlova, get up.
Lei.
Lei, lei.
I'm getting hot. Lei.
Lei.
Not cold.
No no.
How brave you are.
God!
Girls,
are you out of your mind?
My God, you will kill me.
Varvara Ivanovna,
It's not us, it's her.
- Varvara Ivanovna,
I used to say that as a child
you yourself know.
I am weak. Weakest of all in the class.
If I don't temper myself, I will die.
Here you will see.
Girl.
Imagine yourself as a flower.
Butterfly.
And fantasize.
Fantasize and don't be afraid.
I teach you a lot.
We will learn from
nature itself, we will love it,
hear, see, understand.
I am a wind! - I'm a swan.
I am a cloud. - I'm a dragonfly.
Pavlova,
you feel bad?
If a...
I am the maple leaf that has fallen.
And he really wants to go up there,
up, close, close to the sun.
What are you doing here?
Think.
Let's think together. What is your name?
Fokin Mikhail Mikhailovich
What exactly do you need here?
Don't interfere.
What?
I compose a ballet in her style.
Who is it?
You are a dark person.
This is the incomparable Taglioni.
And who is she?
La Ballerina Asoluto.
She could do everything.
No matter how many times I try, nothing comes out.
What are you, get up!
“You see, it doesn’t work.
- Get up.
Die but rise!
Misha, I can.
I can!
Young ladies and gentlemen!
Colleagues!
This photo will capture you forever.
When history looks at you
you can't make faces.
Young ladies and gentlemen, colleagues!
You are our future
and all hope is in you.
Anna Pavlovna II.
You're tying your laces too long.
Now. I am now.
Mr Sergeev.
Please don't offend my protégé.
And your place, Mr. Fokin, is backstage.
- Ask. - What?
Take it easy, general.
Marius Ivanovich, when I watch a ballet,
I live.
It's time for you to resign.
What kind of hussar regiment is on stage?
No no no. You want my death.
No no. I said no!
Year,
which turned into naphthalene.
- Are you talking to me?
No, girl, not for you.
And to all modern Russian ballet.
Then speak louder.
Are you new? What is your name?
And yours?
My Diaghilev, remember.
And mine is Pavlova,
remember too.
Dear ladies.
Your walk reminds me of a parade ground.
Couldn't it be more elegant?
Marus Ivanovich, Marus Ivanovich.
I want to pronounce
for judgment or otherwise I can
pass for a miserable whisperer and a coward.
Speak, Mr. Diaghilev.
You see, the sweat of Russian artists
daily turns into naphthalene.
Let's write a new page
of Russian ballet together.
Bravo.
- Yes. - Bravo.
I'm sorry Serge
but we have different handwriting.
So in that case, Marus
Ivanovich, obviously
we can't avoid a duel.
Oh my God!
Are you still allowed into this theatre?
Gentlemen balletomanes,
these gems
today for the first time on the
stage of the Maryinsky Theatre.
I entrust their fate
to you. love them
and have mercy.
Vivat!
I bless you with the beginning of the path.
Mommy, I can't believe I'm here.
I'll buy you a blue bath.
Under the color of the Maryinsky Theater.
It says: Pavlova II
from a loving mother.
And I will become Pavlova I.
I promise.
Diaghilev is cruel, but Diaghilev is right.
One must get up one morning and
courageously say: I burn bridges.
Which? These?
If burned, then all at once.
Or that one? - And that one too.
I know which one.
The one on which the captain stands.
The one on which for half a century now he has
been dragging Russian ballet by the handle.
But this is cruel, Misha.
Madame, I love you in six fouettes.
Madame, I love you
passionately at twelve fouettes.
Madame, I burn with
love at thirty-two fouettes.
You do better on stage.
We speak a beautiful
but dead language, Anna.
Ancient Latin.
What's next?
And then nothing.
I have no remorse.
When we become old people,
we will be written off in offsets.
Throw away like old galoshes.
How will one write off this amazing icon.
That's all.
Will you come with me?
Where? You know? - I know.
Where to?
Farther. As far as possible.
Three thousand years ago.
Anna,
come to me.
What for?
The most beautiful human movement
it is forward movement.
Will you come with me?
Mishenka.
Misha.
And will you come with me?
Stand! Mercy!
So, everything is great, mademoiselle.
Here... See me.
You do prefraction, then...
Marius Ivanovich! - Like this...
I adore you! - Yes!
Mutually, Matilda Feliksovna!
Like this. Pavlova.
I'm waiting for you at my place, on Rossi Street.
We will rehearse "Giselle".
Good.
Thank you. - Oh my God.
Why aren't you dressed, Matilda?
It's a sin for me, Marius Ivanovich.
Very bad mood.
But you have a performance today.
There is still so much time until evening.
A month of Sundays.
Brighter, brighter
Not just lines, baby.
Not only lines.
Soul, full of flight,
give diamond facets.
Remove your spatulas!
Give me a diamond edge.
I saw how they sparkled at Petrova's.
at Sokolova.
Now it's your turn, little Pavlova.
Ask.
Like this. Stand! Tydysh. Stand!
I leave you Giselle
for your entire long life.
Beginning Palova from the outgoing Patip.
Kshesinskaya, look!
- Kshesinskaya!
Hello, eternal panopticon.
All profits:
From my tailor to the Grand Duke.
Serge, you're talking too loudly.
It is not comfortable.
Me... Sorry, madam.
I'm comfortable here.
You are behaving unworthily.
I'm tired of this boredom.
Lord, I am leaving you.
Diaghilev got up.
Your Highness, the scandal is beginning.
Baron, just don't need policemen.
- Sit down.
“If only for your sake, colleague.
Sit down, I beg you.
Well?
I'm scared.
Do not be afraid.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
Everything is fine.
Ordinary genius.
Ordinary genius.
- Who suggested?
Kosmach. Pass it on.
From U.S. From Diaghilev.
Bravo, Palova, bravo!
Bravo!
Farewell.
Mrs. Yegorova, bravo!
Bravo, Mrs. Egorova!
- But I'm not Yegorova.
I am Pavlova.
Pavlova? It doesn't matter, still bravo!
Mrs. Pavlova, bravo!
Gentlemen, this is Mrs. Yegorova...
I would like to express
my deep gratitude to you
for everything you do on stage.
Put on the cylinder.
You will catch a cold.
- Congratulations, madam.
Thank you.
Let me introduce myself.
Parisian councilor, member of
the city council, Victor d'André.
Yes Yes. I know your face.
You often visit us in Maryinsk.
Yes. And the weather is really nasty.
Please accept my offer
and get on the carriage.
If you do not mind.
- Thanks to. - Bravo, bravo!
Your hand is cold.
Yes, yes, I lost my gloves.
Will you wear mine?
Will you allow?
You are welcome.
Like everything is white.
Purely.
I'm trying to make a
difficult but exciting project.
Bridge across the Neva.
Here.
As openwork and bright as your dance.
This will be the bridge of the century.
What are you thinking about?
I...
all my life I dreamed of having a big white hall.
On the white wall is a portrait of Taglioni.
I would always look
and was doing.
The hall would be my abode.
I would spend my whole life here
and would be happy.
Sorry.
Anna, Anna!
And I'm looking for you.
You are late for rehearsal.
Bokin will not forgive you for this.
What are you.
Please enjoy.
You know Victor
when I die,
my soul will settle in this park.
I will fly over the bushes of blooming lilacs.
The one who often talks about his death,
usually lives to a ripe old age.
Wait.
A little more.
I don't need that damn makeup!
You take away my face.
Close your eyes.
And shut up.
I didn't want to.
Or have you spent your whole
life on the stage of Maryinsky
as a porcelain figurine?
Please close the door.
Mr Fokin,
I am yours... We are with you.
- Get up.
Bravo!
Bravo.
The calmest
the best thing, Annushka, is to go with the flow.
If you want it to be easier
and easier, go with the flow.
But if you want to reach
your goal in your own way,
swim against the current, no matter what.
We must never part.
You and I create a diabolical balance.
Say: I am Taor.
I am Taor.
Again.
I am Taor.
More.
I am Taor.
Fingers.
You and I are playing a
beautiful dangerous game, Anna.
My darling.
For all the saints...
Trust my words.
Drop these gymnastic
exercises, drop Fokine.
Madam...
I knew fame on this stage, I
far from jealousy
and other such trifles.
I only want one:
your salvation.
Thanks to.
Don't bury yourself alive
in this fruitless quest.
Bravo! Bravo!
The whole room is buzzing!
They carry Fokine in their arms.
They rise to you.
- No, they whistle and stomp
my enemies.
Fokine's Enemies.
I won't forgive them!
Not all words have been invented
yet, that's why there is a dance.
And you are his spirit and flesh.
Drink to the bottom, Annushka.
Bottoms Up.
I have a confidential conversation with you.
I need money.
Are you in charge of finances?
Order and...
- This is a matter of private order.
There is one small estate.
I will sell it soon, but the money is needed now.
I'm sorry, dove.
Viktor Emelevich, but you have already taken the money.
And more than once. And government money.
What if you contact the bank?
The bank can't give me that much.
Nothing to do about?
No, why. Can.
Everything is possible.
And you can get a crane from the sky.
Do it for me.
If it is possible.
You must understand me.
Please, Anna.
Dear Anna,
I apologize.
For the past three days we have
been trying to weather the smell of paint.
But unfortunately, nothing works.
This is your home, Anna.
Your white room.
Come closer.
It's me?
Yes, it's you.
Victor.
Thank you.
How wonderful.
You have no idea what
Taglioni means to me.
I look at you from the same point
it's been eight years now.
First chair on the right
bed, binoir.
I know everything about you.
Anyway, that's how I feel.
You needed a white room
you got it.
You need peace.
Whole. And you will receive it.
Victor, I'm not conceited.
I know.
If you don't feel bad,
sometimes host your
old friend in this house,
Victor d'Andre. He will
very grateful to you.
A woman like me
cannot burden himself with his family.
I've been all my life
I will pursue one goal.
Dance.
You, Anna, refuse to have children.
Children who will be just like you.
Araberth!
Amanki! Amanki! Amanki, Pavlova!
Stop!
We continue!
AND...
Higher. Leg up! Leg up.
Higher. Higher, higher, higher.
What?
What?
I can not!
I can not!
No.
You can everything.
Who told me: Maestro
Cecchetti, I need your whip?
And your inquisition?
When did you deceive me, pretender?
Then? Or now?
I'm dying...
Die to your health, but first get up.
But why?
Yes, because you
divine.
We continue.
So.
AND...
Perfectly.
Your Excellency, I await orders.
Stop them. - There is.
Go ahead, captain.
Weapon
on hand!
Step march!
Disperse!
Disperse!
Get down, young lady, you won't pass.
Everything is closed until Winter.
- I apologize. Are you Pavlova?
- Yes.
I will try to help you.
My sister works in the theatre.
- Thanks to.
Forward. - Well, let's go, dear!
Step aside!
Step aside!
General, I'm sorry
actress in the imperial
theater, Mrs. Pavlova.
Go.
Let's go!
But!
Anna, brush.
Head.
So.
Refracion.
More expressive.
Please, Misha.
The arms are longer.
Get around wider.
Wider.
Higher tilt, higher. Below.
So.
Good. Head. So.
Good. Thank you. Here, please.
Everything went well.
And now...
The killers!
Fiends!
Ruby!
- Stop! – Help!
People!
- Mum! – Disperse!
Mrs Pavlova.
Pull down the curtain.
And keep rehearsing.
Ladies
gentlemen.
Bolder.
Friends!
I...
I don't know,
who brought these flowers to the theater today.
I found a note in them.
Remember us
your brothers and sisters.
We loved to live.
We loved Russia.
The troupe of the Maryinsky
Theater refuses to dance today.
Traitors!
You have disgraced Russia!
I warned you, Your Excellency.
Calm down, dearest Vladimir Arkadyevich.
From this, the empire does not collapse.
Can't sleep, Anna?
Are you roaming at night?
What happened to you?
Sore throat?
No no. Nothing. Chills a little.
Will you drink tea?
No.
What about champagne?
You know, I woke up today.
And I feel the earth tilt.
I felt, I felt.
Dear Misha.
I flew into the cold
abyss and dissolved in it.
Don't think, Anna.
You are so sad.
Do you want me to play for you?
novel... Tsigansky.
I'm probably mediocre.
Which is just lucky.
Play up.
He is.
Get up.
Come to me.
turn around.
Walk straight.
Where are the hands?
Higher.
Higher, higher
Waves, waves, waves. Waves!
Watch out for the neck.
Come to me. Run, run. Arms. Higher, higher
Smoothly, smoothly.
Bend, bend.
Soul in a bend, you understand?
Higher. Get up.
Get up, get up, get up.
You are not a swan, not a swan!
Anguish, soul. Here, here, here.
Hand, Anna.
Yes Yes.
Leave the waves, don't need the waves.
Wait.
No. It doesn't fit at all.
Hands here.
Raise your hands like this.
Smooth tribute.
Went.
Come on, come on
Open up.
Here, good.
Higher. So. So.
Good.
Good. Softer, softer.
Here. Softer. Arms.
We omit.
Stuffy.
Let's go out.
I'm flying!
You don't have to fly anywhere.
Wait, hold on.
No, not that. So...
- I'm sorry, what? - What if...
What if...
I see so clearly.
What if we try...
If a...
Well?
Go...
By hand. - What?
No, the whole body.
No. - What?
Misha.
Now I'll think of it.
We need everything first.
All over again.
- Don't you want to sleep?
- To me? Not a drop.
Go.
Why don't they clap?
Why don't they clap?
- I'm going to bow. - Not!
Well?
Bravo!
Misha, go. Go, Misha. - No, why?
- But... - Bravo! Bravo!
Yes, gentlemen!
Yes!
All the best
what is today in Russia,
here in Paris
with me.
In this beautiful boat.
In this hall
the voice of the great Chaliapin sounded,
I call new names today.
Which will become a legendary accessory
not only Russia, but also France.
Nijinsky,
coral,
Karsavina, Fokin, Mordkin,
Benois,
bravo, Benoit, Butt, Fol, Antonova,
my precious Bakst.
Darling, check the tailors,
they'll sleep for sure.
Calm down, Seryozha.
Second night in a row. Sleep and sew.
But the paint is gone.
Shell out. — Monsieur Diaghilev.
Why is Anna Pavlova
absent here in Paris?
Is her triumph in Italy due
your overall aesthetic platform?
No.
Just, however, like our
triumph in Paris so far
don't owe anything
Madame Pavlova.
- Monsieur Diaghilev,
they say you look a lot like Peter the Great.
Yes, monsieur.
And not only externally!
- It's true, Mr. Diaghilev,
that you are his descendant?
Yes, gentlemen. I'll ask you.
There is no way to refute.
Go away, for God's sake, you're bothering me!
- I'm coming.
Go away. You're bothering me,
you understand? Sergei, tell them.
What's the matter?
Seryozha.
Pavlova has arrived.
Ah, ah, ah, what am I to rejoice in the presence of a guest?
Ah, madam! Ah, madam!
As always, too late!
The source of our excitement.
- My God. - Come on, come on.
Are you here.
Come all to the handle.
- Hello, honey.
I heard that chairs are broken
in my production in Vienna.
To the side. I ask you to.
Please get acquainted.
Mikhail Mordkin,
this is the best that is in Moscow, in everything.
- Yes. - Yes.
Marie.
This is Pavlova.
Oh, how they care about my blue blood.
Love me just the way I am.
Without me, this world is worse.
Well, are you satisfied? You covered the whole of Paris.
So glory ad nauseam.
Lord, gentlemen. We have already tortured Anna.
You are the best in the world
and the best are always with me.
About the glory of Russia.
Why not dressed?
I'm out of shape.
Hello. Get dressed.
You will dance with Mordkin.
But I had to dance with Nezhinsky.
You will dance with
whoever I see fit.
Should I pay a penalty or
return to St. Petersburg?
I said, I can replace
you, madam, with anyone.
Here you see
by whomever and whenever.
I can't stand tantrums from anyone!
I warned,
I'm out of shape. - What?
What form, ma'am? What kind of nonsense? Go.
Lord. Here is Diaghilev! They rise up.
Forward!
- Lie down. - Forward!
Look.
They want you alive.
No form.
You have a legend about Russian ballet.
We made her here from you.
For seven biblical days.
I need a rehearsal.
- Do what you want!
Water.
- Go.
- They will not see the third encore.
The third bis is the destiny of the gods.
Wipe your face.
Sergei Pavlovich, you must spare.
Why aren't you actually dressed?
I need a rehearsal.
- Go, go, go.
Tell them! Order them, Serge, to shut up!
I can not do it anymore. I can't, I can't!
He's at your feet.
Step over it.
Then only the appearance of death.
Went.
Bravo, Nijinsky!
Serge, I'm tired of sitting in these feathers.
I'm tired.
Well, good, good. Shoot.
Msya Diaghilev,
how beautiful would be united in marble
madam pavlova
and Monsieur Nijinsky.
I talked with Rodin, he agreed.
They can't be connected
even in marble. Forgive us.
Really?
Don't worry Madame Vivaldi
we will definitely connect them, don't worry.
Mechanic!
Where is the mechanic?
Please close the curtain.
Diaghilev let everyone go. Saves.
He left only the accompanist.
I will help you.
Why are you here?
I will always be there
for you if you need it.
Monsieur, I'm ready.
You are welcome. I ask you to.
Get started.
Misha,
they say you will replace Nijinsky.
I do not know.
Will of Diaghilev.
Believe me
these will be the best days of your life.
Marvelous. I left state affairs,
to come see this
baby, and you...
You are very inspired to play.
But please, according to the score.
There is a small pause here. Yes.
But I have a li-garcon here.
You have nothing, not even a score.
I'm sorry, I'll find it.
Sens-Saens, in my
opinion, still has a pause.
Well, if you prefer...
Can change.
Thank you,
monsieur...
Camille Saint-Saens.
Can not be!
You...
Bravo,
Bravo.
Bravo, Pavlova.
How small are you.
I beg your pardon, madam.
Give me a few minutes.
Thank you. There are even tulips here.
Impresario Batt.
I offer you a tour to
England on any terms.
But now is not the time for such a conversation.
I'm afraid tomorrow will be too late
for tomorrow morning all the
imperials of London will come here.
I don't want you to choose the worst of them.
- My business card. - Thanks.
Good night, Mr Butt.
- Thanks to. - For what?
For all.
For a swan
Allow me? Mercy.
Monsieur Saint-Saens, finally!
At your age
you may not give in. This is a
mistake for us young people.
Allow me, General.
Alas.
I want to talk to you.
Robbery.
Let's get started. Lord.
We won't let them get old.
Remember, Misha, you said
Fokin-Pavlova make
up a diabolical balance.
Do you want us to have a troupe?
Our troupe with you.
Diaghilev needs us.
I'm a stranger here.
Only without tears, Anna.
I'm tired myself.
You and I never danced
so little was said.
It's a pity.
Anna, don't be sad. Well, it's
excellent sketch of a student, but
you have to move on, you know?
Farther! - Where?
to Stravinsky.
We must get rid of this primitive
sensitivity.
Ah, my dear Serge.
We will die - we will ask Tchaikovsky.
No need to be offended by Serezha.
- I will go. – It leads to places
where ballet has never gone before.
Grunts, hunches,
but drags.
He feels like none of us
brevity of life.
And so he hurries there, into the unknown.
I drink to him.
For you, Annushka, and for all of us.
I will accompany you.
Lord.
I want to say that Annushka has left.
Serge, she had such eyes
I think she's gone for good.
Serge, let's go call her.
They don't leave me.
Pavlova, stop!
Never! - Pavlova!
All the best to you, Mr. Diaghilev.
The last time I tell you
stop, you'll regret it!
First she left me
then she leaves you, then...
I wonder who she will leave next?
Dasha!
Change water in flowers.
In Paris, their hot hands, shaking with
excitement, were reaching out to her.
Robel, Verbo, Sens-Saens, Cocteau,
Sarbernar, they were reaching out for her
like a blind man reaches out to the
savior, and she has abandoned everything!
For your bastard gendarme.
You hurt, Serezha.
Hurt? No, I've only
been hurt once in my life.
Earlier in my childhood, when I first realized
that I live in the world at the
cost of the life of my own mother.
That my life was a
death sentence for her.
Since then, for me, there
is no woman in the world,
which can hurt me.
Victor!
Don't torture yourself, Victor, dear.
In this wonderful St. Petersburg
in such cases, put on a new coat,
fresh kid gloves
chrysanthemum in the buttonhole and go to the tavern.
clear conscience
champagne and colorful feathers.
How does she look?
Flawless.
Her new address is London, Chantan Palace Café.
But civilization.
Bravo! Bravo!
We would like to rehearse.
- Closer, closer.
- Rehearse.
- How about rehearsing?
We all rehearse at the same time.
Closer, closer. Oh, you want to be here on stage?
Everything is at your disposal.
- Amazing.
I can not do that. And you can't.
From this day on, our troupe will shine
incomparable Anna Pavlova!
Mockery!
Corrupt practices!
Fraud!
Daily corruption!
happening here!
Within the walls of the city council!
Bridge of the century
it is an illusion for the simpletons.
The bridge of the century is
a well crafted scam.
Lord!
Esther!
D'Andre!
I demand judgment on you.
I've never been lucky in gambling.
You are lucky in the most important way.
That I'm around.
- You are a child.
Yes, great child.
Big but stupid baby.
But we'll be the burden of glory together.
While we share the grapes.
With pleasure.
Look. It's a detective.
Or an English ballet dancer.
Which is equally dangerous.
Look.
Between toothpaste
whiskey and horses. But you are more visible.
As expected. A little bit closer.
- Stop.
I sympathize, I sympathize.
I am a soloist of the Imperial
Theatre, they forget about it.
But I'll remind them, Mishenka, don't hesitate.
You are the lead singer of the London Variety Show.
I haven't signed a contract yet.
Hello Madame Pavlova.
Albert d'Andre.
Are you the brother of Victor d'André?
- Yes.
His younger brother
the only one.
Will not interfere. My regards.
Are you worried about something?
What about Victor?
“Don’t worry, Madam Pavlova, please.
I know that you are his closest friend,
and that he has no
one in the world but you.
Say what about Victor?
Please, Madam Pavlova, don't worry.
Victor is going to be put on trial.
Excuse me madam.
I didn't expect you.
What a surprise.
I am happy to see you.
I am infinitely happy!
All London is happy. It
happens so rarely, madam.
Glad at a hundred years. I'm happy.
I am ready to sign a contract with you.
For two years. – Really?
For two years in my theater...
I will try to make you feel
at home here, believe me.
Oh madam
how happy I am!
mr butt,
I need all the money now.
Just the whole amount.
A bill with the right to pay in St. Petersburg.
Lord, you can get money
whenever you want.
Immediately. I will issue the bill immediately.
Two years in my theatre.
I just can't believe it.
And, you know, I have to
leave for a week in Russia.
How?
It's impossible.
It's just unthinkable.
You understand
For one week, Mr Butt.
London is waiting every evening for your appearance.
Your name is on everyone's lips.
We are so happy that we
finally have the ballet queen,
and now you want to leave.
I don't want to hear about anything.
Ask me for anything, I'll give you
I won't refuse anything.
But not the county.
Would you like the
queen to kneel before you?
What are you, madam?
Get up, ma'am!
I beg you! Do not confuse me.
Do you have grief?
I will do everything possible.
But just don't leave me.
I really need.
Mrs. Pavlova, your passport.
I ask you to.
I am glad to welcome you
within the Russian Empire.
Thanks to.
Young lady.
What's wrong with you?
Your face is frostbitten.
To my mind.
Uncle, look.
Girl!
Girl, who are you?
To Mom.
To Luba, right?
Love!
Annushka!
God, Annushka.
- Yes, what are you doing?
- Mum.
- I saw them. - Oh my God...
Just like white angels.
Small. Small.
Mom, I saw them. Little ballerinas.
I will buy you colored threads.
Do you love to embroider?
Love.
And you'll be the best in town.
A cab will be sent for you.
Which means
will be waiting for you.
Mum. Mum!
God.
They are the same as me.
- God... - Mom.
Mum.
- Small. - Give me an oath.
That you take me to a school for little ballerinas.
- Okay, Anya.
- Let's sleep. - Please mom.
Otherwise, I won't get well, Mom.
Sleep, angel.
Annushka.
Would you like to dance
like these boys and girls?
No.
Mother Mother!
I will be sleeping beauty.
I will dance here. Then at the theatre.
I promise you mom.
Hello.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
What is your name,
sweet lady?
Anna Pavlova.
And you?
Marius Petipa.
Your most obedient servant.
What do you want to
dance, pretty young lady?
Everything.
It's difficult.
Can you?
But if I fail,
then I'd rather die.
- My little...
Well...
More. Higher.
Calmly.
Calm down, calm down.
Bend some more.
- Like this.
“The girl has lovely flexibility.
Do not be afraid.
Good. Well.
You teach, you decide.
And one, two, three, four.
One... Pavlova, knee!
One two three four.
Back, Pavlova!
Injection.
Fingers.
Pull your knee, pull!
Do not Cry.
Anh, don't cry.
One two three four.
One, two, three...
Well, the Lord is with you. Break.
I'm afraid to think about her future.
Capable
so weak.
- Katenka, this is all at birth.
Believe me...
- No twisting in the legs.
She doesn't know that there
can be another way in ballet,
at the end of which the muscles dry
and bone is formed.
That the heart may one day stop
obey the will and shatter into pieces.
Pavlova, get up.
Lei.
Lei, lei.
I'm getting hot. Lei.
Lei.
Not cold.
No no.
How brave you are.
God!
Girls,
are you out of your mind?
My God, you will kill me.
Varvara Ivanovna,
It's not us, it's her.
- Varvara Ivanovna,
I used to say that as a child
you yourself know.
I am weak. Weakest of all in the class.
If I don't temper myself, I will die.
Here you will see.
Girl.
Imagine yourself as a flower.
Butterfly.
And fantasize.
Fantasize and don't be afraid.
I teach you a lot.
We will learn from
nature itself, we will love it,
hear, see, understand.
I am a wind! - I'm a swan.
I am a cloud. - I'm a dragonfly.
Pavlova,
you feel bad?
If a...
I am the maple leaf that has fallen.
And he really wants to go up there,
up, close, close to the sun.
What are you doing here?
Think.
Let's think together. What is your name?
Fokin Mikhail Mikhailovich
What exactly do you need here?
Don't interfere.
What?
I compose a ballet in her style.
Who is it?
You are a dark person.
This is the incomparable Taglioni.
And who is she?
La Ballerina Asoluto.
She could do everything.
No matter how many times I try, nothing comes out.
What are you, get up!
“You see, it doesn’t work.
- Get up.
Die but rise!
Misha, I can.
I can!
Young ladies and gentlemen!
Colleagues!
This photo will capture you forever.
When history looks at you
you can't make faces.
Young ladies and gentlemen, colleagues!
You are our future
and all hope is in you.
Anna Pavlovna II.
You're tying your laces too long.
Now. I am now.
Mr Sergeev.
Please don't offend my protégé.
And your place, Mr. Fokin, is backstage.
- Ask. - What?
Take it easy, general.
Marius Ivanovich, when I watch a ballet,
I live.
It's time for you to resign.
What kind of hussar regiment is on stage?
No no no. You want my death.
No no. I said no!
Year,
which turned into naphthalene.
- Are you talking to me?
No, girl, not for you.
And to all modern Russian ballet.
Then speak louder.
Are you new? What is your name?
And yours?
My Diaghilev, remember.
And mine is Pavlova,
remember too.
Dear ladies.
Your walk reminds me of a parade ground.
Couldn't it be more elegant?
Marus Ivanovich, Marus Ivanovich.
I want to pronounce
for judgment or otherwise I can
pass for a miserable whisperer and a coward.
Speak, Mr. Diaghilev.
You see, the sweat of Russian artists
daily turns into naphthalene.
Let's write a new page
of Russian ballet together.
Bravo.
- Yes. - Bravo.
I'm sorry Serge
but we have different handwriting.
So in that case, Marus
Ivanovich, obviously
we can't avoid a duel.
Oh my God!
Are you still allowed into this theatre?
Gentlemen balletomanes,
these gems
today for the first time on the
stage of the Maryinsky Theatre.
I entrust their fate
to you. love them
and have mercy.
Vivat!
I bless you with the beginning of the path.
Mommy, I can't believe I'm here.
I'll buy you a blue bath.
Under the color of the Maryinsky Theater.
It says: Pavlova II
from a loving mother.
And I will become Pavlova I.
I promise.
Diaghilev is cruel, but Diaghilev is right.
One must get up one morning and
courageously say: I burn bridges.
Which? These?
If burned, then all at once.
Or that one? - And that one too.
I know which one.
The one on which the captain stands.
The one on which for half a century now he has
been dragging Russian ballet by the handle.
But this is cruel, Misha.
Madame, I love you in six fouettes.
Madame, I love you
passionately at twelve fouettes.
Madame, I burn with
love at thirty-two fouettes.
You do better on stage.
We speak a beautiful
but dead language, Anna.
Ancient Latin.
What's next?
And then nothing.
I have no remorse.
When we become old people,
we will be written off in offsets.
Throw away like old galoshes.
How will one write off this amazing icon.
That's all.
Will you come with me?
Where? You know? - I know.
Where to?
Farther. As far as possible.
Three thousand years ago.
Anna,
come to me.
What for?
The most beautiful human movement
it is forward movement.
Will you come with me?
Mishenka.
Misha.
And will you come with me?
Stand! Mercy!
So, everything is great, mademoiselle.
Here... See me.
You do prefraction, then...
Marius Ivanovich! - Like this...
I adore you! - Yes!
Mutually, Matilda Feliksovna!
Like this. Pavlova.
I'm waiting for you at my place, on Rossi Street.
We will rehearse "Giselle".
Good.
Thank you. - Oh my God.
Why aren't you dressed, Matilda?
It's a sin for me, Marius Ivanovich.
Very bad mood.
But you have a performance today.
There is still so much time until evening.
A month of Sundays.
Brighter, brighter
Not just lines, baby.
Not only lines.
Soul, full of flight,
give diamond facets.
Remove your spatulas!
Give me a diamond edge.
I saw how they sparkled at Petrova's.
at Sokolova.
Now it's your turn, little Pavlova.
Ask.
Like this. Stand! Tydysh. Stand!
I leave you Giselle
for your entire long life.
Beginning Palova from the outgoing Patip.
Kshesinskaya, look!
- Kshesinskaya!
Hello, eternal panopticon.
All profits:
From my tailor to the Grand Duke.
Serge, you're talking too loudly.
It is not comfortable.
Me... Sorry, madam.
I'm comfortable here.
You are behaving unworthily.
I'm tired of this boredom.
Lord, I am leaving you.
Diaghilev got up.
Your Highness, the scandal is beginning.
Baron, just don't need policemen.
- Sit down.
“If only for your sake, colleague.
Sit down, I beg you.
Well?
I'm scared.
Do not be afraid.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
Everything is fine.
Ordinary genius.
Ordinary genius.
- Who suggested?
Kosmach. Pass it on.
From U.S. From Diaghilev.
Bravo, Palova, bravo!
Bravo!
Farewell.
Mrs. Yegorova, bravo!
Bravo, Mrs. Egorova!
- But I'm not Yegorova.
I am Pavlova.
Pavlova? It doesn't matter, still bravo!
Mrs. Pavlova, bravo!
Gentlemen, this is Mrs. Yegorova...
I would like to express
my deep gratitude to you
for everything you do on stage.
Put on the cylinder.
You will catch a cold.
- Congratulations, madam.
Thank you.
Let me introduce myself.
Parisian councilor, member of
the city council, Victor d'André.
Yes Yes. I know your face.
You often visit us in Maryinsk.
Yes. And the weather is really nasty.
Please accept my offer
and get on the carriage.
If you do not mind.
- Thanks to. - Bravo, bravo!
Your hand is cold.
Yes, yes, I lost my gloves.
Will you wear mine?
Will you allow?
You are welcome.
Like everything is white.
Purely.
I'm trying to make a
difficult but exciting project.
Bridge across the Neva.
Here.
As openwork and bright as your dance.
This will be the bridge of the century.
What are you thinking about?
I...
all my life I dreamed of having a big white hall.
On the white wall is a portrait of Taglioni.
I would always look
and was doing.
The hall would be my abode.
I would spend my whole life here
and would be happy.
Sorry.
Anna, Anna!
And I'm looking for you.
You are late for rehearsal.
Bokin will not forgive you for this.
What are you.
Please enjoy.
You know Victor
when I die,
my soul will settle in this park.
I will fly over the bushes of blooming lilacs.
The one who often talks about his death,
usually lives to a ripe old age.
Wait.
A little more.
I don't need that damn makeup!
You take away my face.
Close your eyes.
And shut up.
I didn't want to.
Or have you spent your whole
life on the stage of Maryinsky
as a porcelain figurine?
Please close the door.
Mr Fokin,
I am yours... We are with you.
- Get up.
Bravo!
Bravo.
The calmest
the best thing, Annushka, is to go with the flow.
If you want it to be easier
and easier, go with the flow.
But if you want to reach
your goal in your own way,
swim against the current, no matter what.
We must never part.
You and I create a diabolical balance.
Say: I am Taor.
I am Taor.
Again.
I am Taor.
More.
I am Taor.
Fingers.
You and I are playing a
beautiful dangerous game, Anna.
My darling.
For all the saints...
Trust my words.
Drop these gymnastic
exercises, drop Fokine.
Madam...
I knew fame on this stage, I
far from jealousy
and other such trifles.
I only want one:
your salvation.
Thanks to.
Don't bury yourself alive
in this fruitless quest.
Bravo! Bravo!
The whole room is buzzing!
They carry Fokine in their arms.
They rise to you.
- No, they whistle and stomp
my enemies.
Fokine's Enemies.
I won't forgive them!
Not all words have been invented
yet, that's why there is a dance.
And you are his spirit and flesh.
Drink to the bottom, Annushka.
Bottoms Up.
I have a confidential conversation with you.
I need money.
Are you in charge of finances?
Order and...
- This is a matter of private order.
There is one small estate.
I will sell it soon, but the money is needed now.
I'm sorry, dove.
Viktor Emelevich, but you have already taken the money.
And more than once. And government money.
What if you contact the bank?
The bank can't give me that much.
Nothing to do about?
No, why. Can.
Everything is possible.
And you can get a crane from the sky.
Do it for me.
If it is possible.
You must understand me.
Please, Anna.
Dear Anna,
I apologize.
For the past three days we have
been trying to weather the smell of paint.
But unfortunately, nothing works.
This is your home, Anna.
Your white room.
Come closer.
It's me?
Yes, it's you.
Victor.
Thank you.
How wonderful.
You have no idea what
Taglioni means to me.
I look at you from the same point
it's been eight years now.
First chair on the right
bed, binoir.
I know everything about you.
Anyway, that's how I feel.
You needed a white room
you got it.
You need peace.
Whole. And you will receive it.
Victor, I'm not conceited.
I know.
If you don't feel bad,
sometimes host your
old friend in this house,
Victor d'Andre. He will
very grateful to you.
A woman like me
cannot burden himself with his family.
I've been all my life
I will pursue one goal.
Dance.
You, Anna, refuse to have children.
Children who will be just like you.
Araberth!
Amanki! Amanki! Amanki, Pavlova!
Stop!
We continue!
AND...
Higher. Leg up! Leg up.
Higher. Higher, higher, higher.
What?
What?
I can not!
I can not!
No.
You can everything.
Who told me: Maestro
Cecchetti, I need your whip?
And your inquisition?
When did you deceive me, pretender?
Then? Or now?
I'm dying...
Die to your health, but first get up.
But why?
Yes, because you
divine.
We continue.
So.
AND...
Perfectly.
Your Excellency, I await orders.
Stop them. - There is.
Go ahead, captain.
Weapon
on hand!
Step march!
Disperse!
Disperse!
Get down, young lady, you won't pass.
Everything is closed until Winter.
- I apologize. Are you Pavlova?
- Yes.
I will try to help you.
My sister works in the theatre.
- Thanks to.
Forward. - Well, let's go, dear!
Step aside!
Step aside!
General, I'm sorry
actress in the imperial
theater, Mrs. Pavlova.
Go.
Let's go!
But!
Anna, brush.
Head.
So.
Refracion.
More expressive.
Please, Misha.
The arms are longer.
Get around wider.
Wider.
Higher tilt, higher. Below.
So.
Good. Head. So.
Good. Thank you. Here, please.
Everything went well.
And now...
The killers!
Fiends!
Ruby!
- Stop! – Help!
People!
- Mum! – Disperse!
Mrs Pavlova.
Pull down the curtain.
And keep rehearsing.
Ladies
gentlemen.
Bolder.
Friends!
I...
I don't know,
who brought these flowers to the theater today.
I found a note in them.
Remember us
your brothers and sisters.
We loved to live.
We loved Russia.
The troupe of the Maryinsky
Theater refuses to dance today.
Traitors!
You have disgraced Russia!
I warned you, Your Excellency.
Calm down, dearest Vladimir Arkadyevich.
From this, the empire does not collapse.
Can't sleep, Anna?
Are you roaming at night?
What happened to you?
Sore throat?
No no. Nothing. Chills a little.
Will you drink tea?
No.
What about champagne?
You know, I woke up today.
And I feel the earth tilt.
I felt, I felt.
Dear Misha.
I flew into the cold
abyss and dissolved in it.
Don't think, Anna.
You are so sad.
Do you want me to play for you?
novel... Tsigansky.
I'm probably mediocre.
Which is just lucky.
Play up.
He is.
Get up.
Come to me.
turn around.
Walk straight.
Where are the hands?
Higher.
Higher, higher
Waves, waves, waves. Waves!
Watch out for the neck.
Come to me. Run, run. Arms. Higher, higher
Smoothly, smoothly.
Bend, bend.
Soul in a bend, you understand?
Higher. Get up.
Get up, get up, get up.
You are not a swan, not a swan!
Anguish, soul. Here, here, here.
Hand, Anna.
Yes Yes.
Leave the waves, don't need the waves.
Wait.
No. It doesn't fit at all.
Hands here.
Raise your hands like this.
Smooth tribute.
Went.
Come on, come on
Open up.
Here, good.
Higher. So. So.
Good.
Good. Softer, softer.
Here. Softer. Arms.
We omit.
Stuffy.
Let's go out.
I'm flying!
You don't have to fly anywhere.
Wait, hold on.
No, not that. So...
- I'm sorry, what? - What if...
What if...
I see so clearly.
What if we try...
If a...
Well?
Go...
By hand. - What?
No, the whole body.
No. - What?
Misha.
Now I'll think of it.
We need everything first.
All over again.
- Don't you want to sleep?
- To me? Not a drop.
Go.
Why don't they clap?
Why don't they clap?
- I'm going to bow. - Not!
Well?
Bravo!
Misha, go. Go, Misha. - No, why?
- But... - Bravo! Bravo!
Yes, gentlemen!
Yes!
All the best
what is today in Russia,
here in Paris
with me.
In this beautiful boat.
In this hall
the voice of the great Chaliapin sounded,
I call new names today.
Which will become a legendary accessory
not only Russia, but also France.
Nijinsky,
coral,
Karsavina, Fokin, Mordkin,
Benois,
bravo, Benoit, Butt, Fol, Antonova,
my precious Bakst.
Darling, check the tailors,
they'll sleep for sure.
Calm down, Seryozha.
Second night in a row. Sleep and sew.
But the paint is gone.
Shell out. — Monsieur Diaghilev.
Why is Anna Pavlova
absent here in Paris?
Is her triumph in Italy due
your overall aesthetic platform?
No.
Just, however, like our
triumph in Paris so far
don't owe anything
Madame Pavlova.
- Monsieur Diaghilev,
they say you look a lot like Peter the Great.
Yes, monsieur.
And not only externally!
- It's true, Mr. Diaghilev,
that you are his descendant?
Yes, gentlemen. I'll ask you.
There is no way to refute.
Go away, for God's sake, you're bothering me!
- I'm coming.
Go away. You're bothering me,
you understand? Sergei, tell them.
What's the matter?
Seryozha.
Pavlova has arrived.
Ah, ah, ah, what am I to rejoice in the presence of a guest?
Ah, madam! Ah, madam!
As always, too late!
The source of our excitement.
- My God. - Come on, come on.
Are you here.
Come all to the handle.
- Hello, honey.
I heard that chairs are broken
in my production in Vienna.
To the side. I ask you to.
Please get acquainted.
Mikhail Mordkin,
this is the best that is in Moscow, in everything.
- Yes. - Yes.
Marie.
This is Pavlova.
Oh, how they care about my blue blood.
Love me just the way I am.
Without me, this world is worse.
Well, are you satisfied? You covered the whole of Paris.
So glory ad nauseam.
Lord, gentlemen. We have already tortured Anna.
You are the best in the world
and the best are always with me.
About the glory of Russia.
Why not dressed?
I'm out of shape.
Hello. Get dressed.
You will dance with Mordkin.
But I had to dance with Nezhinsky.
You will dance with
whoever I see fit.
Should I pay a penalty or
return to St. Petersburg?
I said, I can replace
you, madam, with anyone.
Here you see
by whomever and whenever.
I can't stand tantrums from anyone!
I warned,
I'm out of shape. - What?
What form, ma'am? What kind of nonsense? Go.
Lord. Here is Diaghilev! They rise up.
Forward!
- Lie down. - Forward!
Look.
They want you alive.
No form.
You have a legend about Russian ballet.
We made her here from you.
For seven biblical days.
I need a rehearsal.
- Do what you want!
Water.
- Go.
- They will not see the third encore.
The third bis is the destiny of the gods.
Wipe your face.
Sergei Pavlovich, you must spare.
Why aren't you actually dressed?
I need a rehearsal.
- Go, go, go.
Tell them! Order them, Serge, to shut up!
I can not do it anymore. I can't, I can't!
He's at your feet.
Step over it.
Then only the appearance of death.
Went.
Bravo, Nijinsky!
Serge, I'm tired of sitting in these feathers.
I'm tired.
Well, good, good. Shoot.
Msya Diaghilev,
how beautiful would be united in marble
madam pavlova
and Monsieur Nijinsky.
I talked with Rodin, he agreed.
They can't be connected
even in marble. Forgive us.
Really?
Don't worry Madame Vivaldi
we will definitely connect them, don't worry.
Mechanic!
Where is the mechanic?
Please close the curtain.
Diaghilev let everyone go. Saves.
He left only the accompanist.
I will help you.
Why are you here?
I will always be there
for you if you need it.
Monsieur, I'm ready.
You are welcome. I ask you to.
Get started.
Misha,
they say you will replace Nijinsky.
I do not know.
Will of Diaghilev.
Believe me
these will be the best days of your life.
Marvelous. I left state affairs,
to come see this
baby, and you...
You are very inspired to play.
But please, according to the score.
There is a small pause here. Yes.
But I have a li-garcon here.
You have nothing, not even a score.
I'm sorry, I'll find it.
Sens-Saens, in my
opinion, still has a pause.
Well, if you prefer...
Can change.
Thank you,
monsieur...
Camille Saint-Saens.
Can not be!
You...
Bravo,
Bravo.
Bravo, Pavlova.
How small are you.
I beg your pardon, madam.
Give me a few minutes.
Thank you. There are even tulips here.
Impresario Batt.
I offer you a tour to
England on any terms.
But now is not the time for such a conversation.
I'm afraid tomorrow will be too late
for tomorrow morning all the
imperials of London will come here.
I don't want you to choose the worst of them.
- My business card. - Thanks.
Good night, Mr Butt.
- Thanks to. - For what?
For all.
For a swan
Allow me? Mercy.
Monsieur Saint-Saens, finally!
At your age
you may not give in. This is a
mistake for us young people.
Allow me, General.
Alas.
I want to talk to you.
Robbery.
Let's get started. Lord.
We won't let them get old.
Remember, Misha, you said
Fokin-Pavlova make
up a diabolical balance.
Do you want us to have a troupe?
Our troupe with you.
Diaghilev needs us.
I'm a stranger here.
Only without tears, Anna.
I'm tired myself.
You and I never danced
so little was said.
It's a pity.
Anna, don't be sad. Well, it's
excellent sketch of a student, but
you have to move on, you know?
Farther! - Where?
to Stravinsky.
We must get rid of this primitive
sensitivity.
Ah, my dear Serge.
We will die - we will ask Tchaikovsky.
No need to be offended by Serezha.
- I will go. – It leads to places
where ballet has never gone before.
Grunts, hunches,
but drags.
He feels like none of us
brevity of life.
And so he hurries there, into the unknown.
I drink to him.
For you, Annushka, and for all of us.
I will accompany you.
Lord.
I want to say that Annushka has left.
Serge, she had such eyes
I think she's gone for good.
Serge, let's go call her.
They don't leave me.
Pavlova, stop!
Never! - Pavlova!
All the best to you, Mr. Diaghilev.
The last time I tell you
stop, you'll regret it!
First she left me
then she leaves you, then...
I wonder who she will leave next?
Dasha!
Change water in flowers.
In Paris, their hot hands, shaking with
excitement, were reaching out to her.
Robel, Verbo, Sens-Saens, Cocteau,
Sarbernar, they were reaching out for her
like a blind man reaches out to the
savior, and she has abandoned everything!
For your bastard gendarme.
You hurt, Serezha.
Hurt? No, I've only
been hurt once in my life.
Earlier in my childhood, when I first realized
that I live in the world at the
cost of the life of my own mother.
That my life was a
death sentence for her.
Since then, for me, there

How does she look?

Her new address is London, Chantan Palace Café.
But civilization.
Bravo! Bravo!
We would like to rehearse.
- Closer, closer.
- Rehearse.
- How about rehearsing?
We all rehearse at the same time.
Closer, closer. Oh, you want to be here on stage?
Everything is at your disposal.
- Amazing.
I can not do that. And you can't.
From this day on, our troupe will shine

Corrupt practices!
Fraud!
Daily corruption!

The bridge of the century is

D'Andre!
I demand judgment on you.
I've never been lucky in gambling.
You are lucky in the most important way.
That I'm around.
- You are a child.
Yes, great child.
Big but stupid baby.
But we'll be the burden of glory together.
While we share the grapes.
With pleasure.
Look. It's a detective.
Or an English ballet dancer.
Which is equally dangerous.
Look.
Between toothpaste
whiskey and horses. But you are more visible.
As expected. A little bit closer.
- Stop.
I sympathize, I sympathize.
I am a soloist of the Imperial
Theatre, they forget about it.
But I'll remind them, Mishenka, don't hesitate.
You are the lead singer of the London Variety Show.
I haven't signed a contract yet.

Albert d'Andre.
Are you the brother of Victor d'André?
- Yes.
His younger brother
the only one.
Will not interfere. My regards.
Are you worried about something?
What about Victor?
“Don’t worry, Madam Pavlova, please.
I know that you are his closest friend,
and that he has no
one in the world but you.
Say what about Victor?
Please, Madam Pavlova, don't worry.
Victor is going to be put on trial.
Excuse me madam.
I didn't expect you.
What a surprise.
I am happy to see you.
I am infinitely happy!
All London is happy. It
happens so rarely, madam.
Glad at a hundred years. I'm happy.
I am ready to sign a contract with you.
For two years. – Really?
For two years in my theater...
I will try to make you feel
at home here, believe me.
Oh madam
how happy I am!
mr butt,
I need all the money now.
Just the whole amount.
A bill with the right to pay in St. Petersburg.
Lord, you can get money
whenever you want.
Immediately. I will issue the bill immediately.
Two years in my theatre.
I just can't believe it.
And, you know, I have to
leave for a week in Russia.
How?
It's impossible.
It's just unthinkable.
You understand
For one week, Mr Butt.
London is waiting every evening for your appearance.
Your name is on everyone's lips.
We are so happy that we
finally have the ballet queen,
and now you want to leave.
I don't want to hear about anything.
Ask me for anything, I'll give you
I won't refuse anything.
But not the county.
Would you like the
queen to kneel before you?
What are you, madam?
Get up, ma'am!
I beg you! Do not confuse me.
Do you have grief?
I will do everything possible.
But just don't leave me.
I really need.
