• Erika Angermann : What is your pleasure?

  Col. Dmitri Bucaron : Enemy with spirit. Beautiful enemy with spirit. I enjoy that.

  [tries to kiss Erika, but she resist] 

  Col. Dmitri Bucaron : What? What? Would you rather be kissed by Sasha down there?

• Col. Dmitri Bucaron : You resent me. You have been taught to hate Russians.

  Erika Angermann : I don't resent you and I've never learned to hate.

• Col. Dmitri Bucaron : Don't talk to me about honor. What does a German know about honor? Germany has no honor left. I saved you from prison or *worse*. All I ask is that you return what I feel for you - and its not hate.

  [Erika walks away] 

  Col. Dmitri Bucaron : Come here. You come here!

• Col. Dmitri Bucaron : I have shown you respect. In return, I demand respect.

  Erika Angermann : I do not give anything on demand.

• Col. Dmitri Bucaron : You're rich compared to millions of other fräuleins. You have good food, fine clothes, a fur, a man to protect you. What more do you want? You have everything to live for. Everything!

• Col. Dmitri Bucaron : We drink Vodka in winter for cold and in summer for heat.

• Col. Dmitri Bucaron : I will marry you! For the first time I realize why you have been so distant, so far away. Because you are not like the other fräuleins. For you, love is not a business. For you love is sacred. It is forever. That is why we'll marry you. It is all clear to me now. I apologize for not having thought of it before. You will be my wife! The most beautiful wife of them all!

• Col. Dmitri Bucaron : Now we will drink. To the music, to the night, to all the nights before and to come. Huh? You not drinking.

  Erika Angermann : If you wish.

  Col. Dmitri Bucaron : Drink! When the arm bends, the mouth opens.

• Col. Dmitri Bucaron : You drink, but, you only get sober. You dance only with your feet. And you smile only with your lips.

  Erika Angermann : You are not pleased?

  Col. Dmitri Bucaron : We Russians, we drink with our hearts! We dance with our hearts and when we smile - we smile from inside. I shall now drink to us Russians.
