Burakov:
You think that a man is what he says.

Fetisov:
He is, if he talks for a living.

Burakov:
A man is what he fights for.

Fetisov:
I don't fight for anything.

Burakov:
I know.

Bukhanovsky:
To be a psychiatrist in this country (the Soviet Union) is to be an expert on paranoia, whether you meant to be or not.

Burakov:
You handled him quite deftly.

Fetisov:
I've had it. I will not suffer that stupidity anymore!

Burakov:
He may be stupid, but he's in charge.

Fetisov:
Goddamn it! What is happening to me? My heart is pounding, my collar feels tight; what the hell is this?

Burakov:
Passion.

Bondarchuk:
I want to know, why are we arresting so many perfectly respectable doctors and party members?

Burakov:
Because we were told to.

Bondarchuk:
You were told to investigate them, not detain them!

Burakov:
The party members who are doctors we detain for a very brief period of time. The party members who are sexual deviants, we intend to detain a little longer.

Bondarchuk:
I don't care what you have there!

Bondarchuk:
Who cares!

Bondarchuk:
I recommended you for this position.
