- Svetlana Stalin: Can you please just be cordial?
- Vasily Stalin: I know the drill. Smile, shake hands and try not to call them cunts.
- Svetlana Stalin: Perfect. That's perfect.
- Svetlana Stalin: Why did you let him do that?
- Nikita Khrushchev: Yes. I should have intercepted his fist with my face.
- Svetlana Stalin: [about Vasily's beating] Who did this?
- Georgy Zhukov: I did, and I enjoyed it. Been a long time coming.
- Svetlana Stalin: [points to Khruschev and the others] If any of you should... do anything...
- Georgy Zhukov: That's me told. I'm off to represent the entire Red Army at the buffet. You girls enjoy yourselves.
- Svetlana Stalin: Vasily, remember what Papa said!
- Vasily Stalin: Yes, but they have a machine, and they're filling his brain with American lies!
- Svetlana Stalin: [whispering] "Wade gently through the river because there are snakes and crocodiles."
- Svetlana Stalin: Look at the state of that herb garden! Do people not eat herbs any more, do they only eat wheat?
- Svetlana Stalin: Why should I trust you?
- Lavrenti Beria: Because I'm the only one who's telling you. Trust no-one.
- Svetlana Stalin: My father's going to die. I'm going to have you to look after me. I mean, I may as well just shoot myself like Mother.
- Nikita Khrushchev: It's okay, Vasily, everything's gonna be fine.
- Svetlana Stalin: It's not exactly fine, is it? It's not fine.
- Nikita Khrushchev: No... well, no, not exactly fine.
- Svetlana Stalin: My father's lying there with his head open.
- Nikita Khrushchev: Yes, your father's dead, your brother's shooting a gun, it's not fine, you're right.
- Lavrenti Beria: You know what I'm doing? I'm offering you and that bloated soak my protection.
- Svetlana Stalin: We are not children!
- [Tarasov emerges from Vasily's room, looking grim]
- Vasily Stalin: [from inside] You are a real listener, thank you...!
- Svetlana Stalin: ...I am not a child.
