Escape (1972)

Joanna David: Sonya

Quotes 

• Countess Rostova : God, why should I suffer like this?

  Sonya : But it's happening to everyone, Mama.

  Countess Rostova : What do I care about it happening to everyone? Do they care about my Petya? They don't even know my Petya. Dear God, who'd be a mother? I wish I'd never had children. If I had my time again... Oh, girls, perhaps, but boys... Oh, even girls, it's trouble, trouble, even with them.

• Sonya : Do you realize there's hardly a family left in Moscow, and we've only just begun to pack?

  Natasha Rostova : Sorry, Sonya. What shall I do?

  Sonya : Well, start packing the dinner services.

  Natasha Rostova : Well, I don't see why we have to take all this china.

  Sonya : That's what you keep saying. You ask me what we should do and I tell you, and you say you don't see why we should do it.

  Natasha Rostova : Honestly, Sonya, it's all going to get broken on the journey.

  Sonya : Not if we pack it carefully. You don't seem to understand. The things in this house are worth hundreds and thousands of rubles. We can't afford to leave them here.

  Natasha Rostova : You're right, Sonya. Of course you are. I'll go and get the china.
