In this chapter, we learn that Grigori isn't just hiding out in the mansion anymore. He's going to go out and steal the faces of people in the street. He tells us that he's planning to do it once he gets home from work. He says that if he doesn't lose his good looks, he'll still be able to continue acting. He compares himself to an actress and says that even if he were to get his face chopped off, he wouldn't give up acting because he'd still be an actress. He also says that he can't stay away from the theater because it's the only way he can make a living.
