• Inbedkov : [preparing for duel]  We'll do it now... and to the death.

  Boris : Oh no, I can't do anything to the death. Doctor's orders. You see, I have this ulcer condition, and death is the worst thing for it.

• Anton : Grushenko? Isn't he the young coward all St. Petersburg is talking about?

  Boris : I'm not so young. I'm thirty-five.

• Anton Inbedkov : Shall we say pistols at dawn?

  Boris Grushenko : Well, we can say it. I don't know what it means, but we can say it.

• Second : [to both Boris and Count Inbedkov]  Starting back to back, on my signal you will walk ten paces, turn and fire. Is that clear?

  Inbedkov : Of course.

  Boris : Of course.

  Second : Good luck. And God be with you both.

  Boris : [to God]  You listening?

• Anton : If you so much as come near the Countess, I'll see that you never see the light of day again.

  Boris : If a man said that to me, I'd break his neck.

  Anton : *I* am a man.

  Boris : Well, I mean a much shorter man.

• Anton Inbedkov : Boris you have spared me! I am filled with inspiration! I will take up, as I did in my youth, the art of singing! Fa la la la!

  Boris : Great voice, eh? I should have shot him.
