  Semyon Medvedenko : Why do you always wear black?

  Masha : I'm in mourning for my life. I'm unhappy.

• Semyon Medvedenko : May I ask you, doctor, what town did you like most - when you went abroad?

  Dr. Yevgeny Dorn : Genoa.

  Konstantin Treplev : Why Genoa?

  Dr. Yevgeny Dorn : I loved the crowds in the streets there. When you walk out of your hotel in the evening, you find the whole street bustling and alive with people. You join the crowd and you wander aimlessly, here and there, along a broken line. You become part of it. Your mind merges with everyone elses. And you begin to believe, in fact, in the existence of one Universal Soul.
