- Ivan: They sent me out by plane to a boarding school. But I ran away. There's a war on. I can't cram some stupid stuff when it's a war.

- Ivan: Which star?
- Ivan's Mother: Any star.
- Ivan: I see a star, Mama! Why's it shining?
- Ivan's Mother: It's nighttime for the star. That's why it's shining.
