- And then, in walks Dolokhov. Petya is totally starstruck. Dolokhov out-machos everyone else there; he’s got kind of a Bruce Willis Die Hard quality to him.
- Denisov is ready to do the raid now. Dolokhov is all, no, we need to plan and still don’t know enough about their numbers and weapons.
- Then Dolokhov whips out a couple of French uniforms and says he’ll go investigate. Anyone want to come with?
- Petya is sitting there like the kid with his hand stretched way up in the classroom begging the teacher to call on him.
- Dolokhov sees the drummer boy and viciously takes Denisov apart for not killing every French guy he comes across. Apparently Denisov takes prisoners and then lets them go.
- Denisov says this way, if they die, the blood isn’t on his hands. Dolokhov mocks him for being naïve.
- Petya can’t really follow most of their conversation. He totally has a man-crush on Dolokhov, though, and starts copying everything Dolokhov says.
