Captain Mikhail Ivanovich
- Colonel: Why didn't you introduce yourself?
- Captain Mikhail Ivanovich: Well I wanted to check him out first, see if he'll be alright for this assignment.
- Colonel: So, how did your checking go?
- Captain Mikhail Ivanovich: [Fixing bandaid on his face] He checked out alright.
- [pause]
- Captain Mikhail Ivanovich: I didn't think he would...
- Colonel: With a cast?
- Captain Mikhail Ivanovich: Exactly. Maybe I should...
- Colonel: No, you shouldn't. Did he agree?
- Captain Mikhail Ivanovich: Yes he did. Now the idea I have is...
- Colonel: Don't bother.
- Captain Mikhail Ivanovich: In that case can I...
- Colonel: No, don't.
- Captain Mikhail Ivanovich: What about...
- Colonel: Yeah, that you might want to try. You've been assigned to this case so do what's necessary.
- Captain Mikhail Ivanovich: Every man can do many things, but, sadly enough, not everyone is aware of it.
- Captain Mikhail Ivanovich: Have you known citizen Gorbunkov for long?
- Superintendent: Yes, ten years, sorry to say.
- Captain Mikhail Ivanovich: So for ten years he hit the bottle, debauched and led an immoral life?
- Superintendent: For ten years he has very cleverly masked himself as a decent person. I didn't trust him, though.
- Captain Mikhail Ivanovich: Don't you think we must always trust people?
- Superintendent: I don't think you can ever trust a man except in the most extreme cases.
- Captain Mikhail Ivanovich: That's really your opinion?
- Superintendent: Yes. Listen... who are you anyway?
- Captain Mikhail Ivanovich: I work with him. Say, he's a colleague.
- Superintendent: I see. Booze partner. You get out of here! As you say among yourselves, back to your cage!
