Oh, if only it could be quick about it!2.IRINA:                   Where, where has it all gone? Where is it? My God, my God! I’ve forgotten everything, everything … My head is all muddled … I don’t remember “window” in Italian, or “ceiling” say … I forget everything, every day I forget something, and life slips away and will never come back, we will never, never go to Moscow … I can see we won’t go …3.ANDREY:            Oh, where is it now, where has my past gone, the time when I was young, merry, clever, when I had fine thoughts, fine dreams, when my present and my future were lit up by hope? Why is it that no sooner have we begun to live, we become boring, grey, uninteresting, lazy, indifferent, useless, unhappy …4.MASHA:              I think human beings must have faith or must look for faith, otherwise our life is empty, empty … To live and not to know why the cranes fly, why children are born, why there are stars in the sky … You must know why you are alive, or else everything is nonsense, just blowing in the wind.5.TUZENBAKH: This time has come, a great mass is moving towards all of us, a mighty, healthy storm is rising, it’s coming, it’s already near, and soon it will blow sloth, indifference, contempt for work, this festering boredom right out of our society. I will work and in some twenty-five or thirty years’ time everyone will work. Everyone!
