Some quotes of the play: “What? Money? Where do I get it? Strange people, are you, didn’t it sink in that money I don’t have! Oh, if I only had, it would be easy, but I don’t. You’re always hassling me: give, give. I don’t have, get this once and for all – money I don’t have!” Zlatil
“So much money! Gold, pounds, crowns! And he buried it in the ground as if it were not money but corpses. It is gold, not something else, why don’t you calculate it, how much it makes! You could buy the world… Wait, till it falls into my hands, you’ll see what I’ll do…” Rali
“Is this so? We’re the bad again, ha? Rali, let’s go. Others are wishing you ill, pity you don’t see it… If it were not for Rali, you would starve to death. Who is going to work the fields – Rali, who is going to do something useful – Rali. And still, we’re the bad ones. Those, those there, are stealing from you, it’s that you don’t see” Vida
“Don’t you worry!… Do you want me to tell you something? As if it came right here near this ear and it told me “Boryanke, you’ll suffer much, Boryanke, your father will come, what are you going to do then?”… And another voice whispers in my other ear saying “Don’t worry Boryanke, nothing bad is going to happen, everything will fall into place. This voice is the angel’s and the other – the devil’s. And I obey the angel.” Boryana
“Hey, Boryana, Boryana! She is worth more than money. When was this before at this house? Even a swallow or a stork wouldn’t make a nest here. They would at people’s houses but never here, as if we were cursed. And now, here came a bird and it sings!” Andreya
“Boryanke, listen to me. Even if your father does not pursue us, even if my father consents, you couldn’t live in this house. You don’t know what it is like… My father, he even grudges the bread he eats; my brothers are constantly fighting. It is better if we live on our own. And money… Money, I have found…” Pavli
“I don’t feel well, I feel weak, I can hardly stand on my legs, something is constantly choking me, something like a lump. I wake up in the middle of the night, shaking; everything scares me. I can’t help feeling that something bad will happen.” Elica
“Holy Mother! When I whack him on the head, when I wallop him once or twice. What a viper am I. Does he dare to trample on me, he is mine!” Vasil Vaklin
“Who? I? Hey! If you had only come closer?…” Edrieu |
