& Moritz: Lord, in thy great bounty screw the Bolsheviks. Give them every disease in the world, ruin them. Burn their houses and send them back to Moscow. Amen.
& Moritz: Oh, they don’t make films like that any more.
Sarah: As if you ever went to the movies.
Moritz: I don’t need to. I read the papers, I see the titles. «The Third Man,» «The Seventh Seal,» «12 Angry Men...» All those numbers make your head spin! Uh, th— «The Cranes Are Flying.» Now, I never knew they could do that. «Singing in the Rain,» now th— that’s how a cousin of mine died, pneumonia. «An American in Paris,» big deal! Now, if it were Bucharest instead of Paris and not alone, but with 10, no, 20 tank divisions that I would rush to see.
& Max: Wouldn’t you volunteer, if they asked? Imagine it, the big news of 1959 Dumi Auerbach, the first Jew deported into outer space, one-way trip. Wouldn’t you go?.. I would.
& Alice: You, vodka! You, «Kalinka!»
& Warden: Name and first name.
Dumi: Prisoner Dorneanu, Dumitru.
Warden: Dorneanu, or is it Auerbach? Tell me, Auerbach, why do you people always take Romanian names? Do you really think you can fool us? When it’s written on your face, like a sign on a bus. Yid!
& Holban: They’re all Jews. Our film should highlight this aspect with great finesse. We are not anti-Semitic... but we cannot be indifferent to the threat of Zionism either. We will have to use innuendo and I’ll be counting on Maestro Flaviu’s experience for this.
Flaviu: Oh, yes, yes. Yes, of course, we— we must be subtle.
Holban: I want them to look so smug and glamorous that the man on the street will consider them a personal insult.
& Moritz: This is «Voice of America...» Ah-hah. And now we broadcast «Symphony Number 3» in F major by Johannes Brahms.
Virgil: Mr. Zilber? If you like listening to classical music so much why do you listen to it on «Voice of America» with all the static and the noise? Why don’t you listen to it on an official station?
Moritz: On an official station, my dear boy.. even Brahms becomes propaganda.
& Holban: What’s this?
Virgil: A 100 Lei note.
Holban: Very good. With this piece of paper, you can just about fill your refrigerator. Buy a good meal in a restaurant, take a taxi somewhere or pay your rent. Now, tell me what you can’t do with it?.... You can’t buy a house. You can’t invest it in the stock market. You can’t buy a gun, or leave the country. 5 highly intelligent people throw themselves in front of the firing squad. Why? What for? Blue toilet paper?
& Moritz: Ah, it’s great to be young. To have your whole life ahead of you... Yep, now is when the real fun starts. Marriage, children. Work, money troubles.
& Alice: I’ve already been a party member.
Moritz: Amazing! When?
Alice: From 1945 to last year.
Moritz: Since 1945?! But at the end of the war the party had less than 1000 members! And 3 quarters of them were Jews. That’s why they say the Jews brought the Bolsheviks to power. Are you Jewish?
Alice: Yes.
Moritz: And the Bolsheviks kicked you out of the party!
Alice: It’s a bit more complicated than that.
Moritz: Uh, I wouldn’t expect it to be simple.
& Max: He’s 40 years old. I hope he won’t be angry with me if I don’t wish him a long life. 20 years ago, how many of us thought we’d live into our 40’s? The sheer idea of a long life back then was a kind of betrayal... Razvan, what’s your best memory in the last 10 years? Or can you think of one good thing since the end of the war?
Yorgu: The day Stalin died?
Max: Oh, shut up. What else is there for us? If we pull it off, great. We’re laughing, at them. If we get caught, sure, it’s the end of the show. But what an ending? Who’ll drink to that with me?
& Max: I’ve got a proposition. Concerns the entire group. Instead of executing us with bullets... why not send us into space in a Soviet satellite? Then we could be of use to science. Everyone would win.
Minister: Is this some kind of joke?
Max: No, no, no. I’m deadly serious. Why sacrifice dogs? It would be much smarter to send humans because they can send back observations and records of everything they see before they die. Imagine. We could have a man in space before the Americans!
Minister: Now you listen to me, you miserable scum! Anyone sent into space is a hero of the people. Dogs or no dogs! Traitors and saboteurs are not sent into space. They are sent before a firing squad and their families have to pay for the bullets!
