Sluga naroda #1.8

Servant of the People 1×8

Dmitriy Vasilievich: We're not only bankers. We're also surgeons.
Olga Yurievna Mischenko: Clearly. So... There's no way out?
Dmitriy Vasilievich: There is.
Olga Yurievna Mischenko: Enlighten me, then.
Dmitriy Vasilievich: Relax and have fun.

Yuriy Ivanovich Chuiko: "If you have a good army, you will find good allies."
Vasiliy Petrovich Goloborodko, president of Ukraine: Machiavelli.
Yuriy Ivanovich Chuiko: Correct. It's as though he looked into a crystal ball.

Sergei Viktorovich Mukhin: It's some country in Asia.
Vasiliy Petrovich Goloborodko, president of Ukraine: Which country?
Sergei Viktorovich Mukhin: Ugandiya!
Vasiliy Petrovich Goloborodko, president of Ukraine: Uganda. And it's in Africa, not Asia.
Sergei Viktorovich Mukhin: Who cares, Vasya. A coup is underway.
Vasiliy Petrovich Goloborodko, president of Ukraine: What coup?
Sergei Viktorovich Mukhin: Military. We have to act! But how?
If it's military, then condemn it.
Sergei Viktorovich Mukhin: The U.S. approved it.
Vasiliy Petrovich Goloborodko, president of Ukraine: Then also approve it.
Sergei Viktorovich Mukhin: But China condemned it!
Vasiliy Petrovich Goloborodko, president of Ukraine: Then maintain a neutral stance.
Sergei Viktorovich Mukhin: No, Vasya. That's what the Swiss do.

Sergei Viktorovich Mukhin: Put simply... Why do we always deliberate over the coups in Africa? Negroes are also people! Let them coup if they want.
Journalist: You, clearly, meant to say Africans?
Sergei Viktorovich Mukhin: Negroes, Africans... No difference. Aren't negroes and Africans the same? Or is "negro" a bad word? I didn't say "nigger", I said "negroes". Incidentally, have you heard a joke about this? I'll tell you...
