It's ungenerous to express discontent with life at the age of 67.
Pjotr Nikolayevich Sorin:
What a stubborn fellow you are. Can't you understand that one may *want* to live?
Dr. Yevgeny Dorn:
That's just frivolous! It's one of the laws of nature that life has to have an end.
Pjotr Nikolayevich Sorin:
You're arguing like a man who's had his fill. You've been satisfied. Therefore, you're indifferent to life, and you don't care. But you, too, will be afraid of dying!
Dr. Yevgeny Dorn:
The fear of death is an animal fear. Why don't you try to suppress it?
Dr. Yevgeny Dorn:
[pauses, then continues]
Only those who are afraid of their sins, believe in the life hereafter, can be consciously frightened of death. Now, you, in the first place, are an atheist. And what sins can you boast of, hmm? You served for 30 years in the Ministry of Justice, that's all.
Pjotr Nikolayevich Sorin:
[loudly correcting him]
For THIRTY THREE!
