Text

Start: Vanya: I think I hate your husband. Yelena: More vindictive than petty. And you have no reason to hate him. He’s just the same as the rest of us-- no better, no worse.

End: Yelena: Who cares? She’s disposable. There’s always another. Woods, wildlife, women. Use them, abuse them, discard them. I thought you were a bigger man than that. Vanya: These are silly generalizations, Yelena, and in your part.
