Scene changes to the Duma, where policemen are standing by to usher out the Duma members as the Tsar has ordered it dissolved]

Alexander Kerensky:
Tell the Tsar that he can close this building, but he cannot silence the voice of the Russian commoners!

Members of the Duma [in unison]:
Hear, hear!

Duma President:
Mr. Kerensky, I have the floor. You are not to speak out of turn!

Alexander Kerensky:
The Duma is not a street corner. We are not rebels and bombmakers. Most of us want a system similar to the English way. Let there be a Tsar. But let there also be the rule of law and reprenstative government as well. Bring the Tsar to us and let him be told that.

Members of the Duma [in unison]:
Hear, hear!

Duma President:
The Tsar is not here right now. He is at his hunting lodge in Poland.

Alexander Kerensky:
I do not care if he is in Scotland shooting wild grouse! If he is not here, then go to the Tsar and tell him that by dissolving the Duma, he is bringing ruin on his head and emboldening the rebels. Tell him now! Tell him, while there is a Tsar still left to tell!
