This part begins after Triquet's serenade for Tatiana.
ONEGIN
Aren't you dancing, Lensky?
You're standing around like some Childe Harold!
What's up with you?
LENSKY
With me? Nothing.
I'm admiring you;
What a fine friend you are!

Act 2, Scene 1: The ballroom of the Larin house.
When the dancing resumes, Lenski jealously confronts Onegin. Madame Larina begs the men not to quarrel in her house, but Lenski cannot be placated. He renounces his friendship with Onegin in front of all the guests, and challenges Onegin to a duel, which the latter is forced, with many misgivings, to accept.
