Komarovski : Lara, I am determined to save you from a dreadful error. There are two kinds of men, and only two, and that young man is one kind. He is high-minded. He is pure. He is the kind of man that the world pretends to look up to and in fact despises. He is the kind of man who breeds unhappiness; particularly in women. Now, do you understand?
Lara : No.
Komarovski : I think you do. There's another kind. Not high-minded. Not pure. But alive. Now that your taste at this time should incline towards the juvenile is understandable. But for you to marry that boy would be a disaster. Because there's two kinds of women...
[Lara covers her ears, he forces her arms down]
Komarovski : There are two kinds of women and you - as we well know - are not the first kind.
[Lara slaps him, he slaps her back]
Komarovski : You, my dear, are a slut.
Lara : I am not!
Komarovski : We'll see.

Lara : You know, you often look at me as if you knew me.
Zhivago : I have seen you before. Four years ago. Christmas Eve.
Lara : Were you there? No wonder you look at me. Did you know Viktor Komarovsky?
Zhivago : Yes I did. That young man who took you away...
Lara : My husband.
Zhivago : Lot of courage. He made the rest of us look very feeble. As a matter of fact, I thought you both did. Good man to shoot at.
Lara : I'd give anything never to have met him.

Komarovski : Your rarified selfishness is intolerable. Larissa's in danger too.
Zhivago : By association with me?
Komarovski : No, not by association with you; you're small fry. By association with Strelnikov.
Lara : I've never met Strelnikov.
Komarovski : You're married to Strelnikov! They know that.
Lara : I was married to Pasha Antipov.
Komarovski : I understand, I understand. But they don't.
