Do people improve with age?

KOMAROVSKY

Pavel Pavlovich, my chief impression is — and I mean no offense — is that you're very young.

PASHA

M'sieur Komarovsky — I hope I don't offend you: Do people improve with age?

KOMAROVSKY

PASHA

Because they have more to tolerate in themselves. If people don't marry young, what do they bring to their marriage?

KOMAROVSKY

A little experience.
