Kosoy (Fyodor Ermakov)
- Vasily Alibabayevich: [Reading Khmyr's child's letter] Dear dad! When mom and I found out that you were in jail, we got very excited. And mom also got very excited because we thought you were dead. Mom kept telling me that you were a test pilot.
- Fedya Yermakov: He's a thief pilot, stole everybody's money and blamed it on a cab driver.
- Vasily Alibabayevich: I'm an animal. Stole the money from children. Robbed the preschool.
- Fedya Yermakov: Just look at him.
- [Turning to Vasya]
- Fedya Yermakov: When you were mixing gasoline with donkey urine at your gas station, weren't you an animal then?
- Vasily Alibabayevich: That was gasoline. And these are children.
- Troshkin; Dotsent: This is for you. Something to wear at home.
- Fedya Yermakov: What good is it to me? I've got no home.
- Troshkin; Dotsent: You will though. Everything will come in time. They'll be useful in prison.
- Fedya Yermakov: Anything for a laugh.
- Fedya Yermakov: He was so happy to see me... And you called me a thief. What'll he think about me now?
- Troshkin; Dotsent: You're in for a surprise. He will envy you!
- Fedya Yermakov: Envy me?
- Troshkin; Dotsent: Sure! Who is he? Just a regular engineer. How does he live anyway? Goes to work mornings, comes home at night... To his wife and sniveling brats. So now and then he goes to a show, in the summer to Yalta on vacation. Intolerable boredom! And who are you? A gentleman of fortune, outlaw, robber, you really live. You steal, drink, crash into jail. It's much more romantic! So cheer up! Of course, the guy envies you!
- Mishka - drug detstva Kosogo: How are you doing, Fedya? I can hardly believe it's really you!
- Khmyr: It's not really him.
- Fedya Yermakov: Hey, get outta here! Well, what are you doing?
- Mishka - drug detstva Kosogo: I work as an engineer. And you?
- Fedya Yermakov: Way to go! Me?
- Troshkin; Dotsent: He's a thief!
- Mishka - drug detstva Kosogo: That's not funny, granny.
- Troshkin; Dotsent: No, it's not funny.
- Troshkin; Dotsent: Vassia... Gavrila Petrovich... Fedya... Comrades! A brand new year is beginning, and I hope that in this year everything will be brand new for you! We can't tell what's in the cards, but I want you to know that wherever you are, wherever I am, I will always remember you, men. And believe me, I'll find you. Just a minute... I'll be right back. Just a second...
- Fedya Yermakov: Where's he going?
- Khmyr: The devil only knows... You can never tell with him.
- Fedya Yermakov: I know what he meant. He said he'd find us, and he'd bleed us, too.
- Vasily Alibabayevich: You mean he'll bleed us to death?
- Fedya Yermakov: No other way. Look what they say he did to Pockface! Took his razor and swish! Curtains!
- Vasily Alibabayevich: Nothing but a wild beast, a hyena!
- Troshkin; Dotsent: I know a good game called Cities. I start and say Tula, then you pick one that begins with A, Astrakhan. Then you think N, Novgorod. You got it? It's now your turn, Fedya.
- Fedya Yermakov: Why me?
- Troshkin; Dotsent: Name a city that starts with D.
- Fedya Yermakov: Vorkuta.
- Troshkin; Dotsent: Vorkuta? Why?
- Fedya Yermakov: I did time there.
- Troshkin; Dotsent: All right. You name a city starting with A.
- Vasily Alibabayevich: Dzhambul.
- Troshkin; Dotsent: Dzhambul? Why Dzhambul?
- Vasily Alibabayevich: Because it's warm there. There's my home and my old mama.
- Troshkin; Dotsent: All right. I think I know a better game.
- Khmyr: It's there, at the bottom. Go on, dive.
- Fedya Yermakov: But why me? Crosseyes is always the scapegoat! Vassia, tell him to do it himself.
- Khmyr: No. I'd catch my death of a cold.
- Fedya Yermakov: Afraid to catch cold? A guy who's hanged himself!
