Garanin: I must tell you, this is why no one likes scientists. When we have a disease to cure, where are they? In a lab, noses in their books, and so Grandma dies. But when there isn't a problem, they're everywhere, spreading fear.
Ulana Khomyuk: I know about Chernobyl.
Garanin: Oh?
Ulana Khomyuk: I know that the core is either partially or completely exposed.
Garanin: Whatever that means.
Ulana Khomyuk: And that if you don't immediately issue iodine tablets and then evacuate this city, hundreds of thousands of people are going to get cancer, and God knows how many more will die.
Garanin: Yes, very good. There has been an accident at Chernobyl, but I've been assured there is no problem.
Ulana Khomyuk: I'm telling you that there is.
Garanin: I prefer my opinion to yours.
Ulana Khomyuk: I'm a nuclear physicist. Before you were Deputy Secretary, you worked in a shoe factory.
Garanin: Yes, I worked in a shoe factory. And now I'm in charge.
[Raises his glass of vodka]
Garanin: To the workers of the world.
