  Ivan Danko : [to Ridzik, in English]  You know what this key open?

  Art Ridzik : Looks like a key to a locker to me. Why don't you ask your bud?

  Viktor Rostavili : [mutters something in Russian] 

  Art Ridzik : What did he say?

• Viktor Rostavili : We both have our codes, Vanya. Yours, one of the State. Mine, one of thieves.

• Viktor Rostavili : I thought you might be more reasonable. Money has a way of doing that to a man. But no, I don't think so. Not with you. You are one of those types of Soviets who only looks forward to death. I know you well, Vanya. Without me, you don't even exist.

• Ivan Danko : [speaking in Russian]  Let's go. All of you

  Viktor Rostavili : [speaking in Russian]  Why do you always pick on us Georgians? We are just simple people. Maybe that is why we are such easy prey.

  Vagran Rostavili : [speaking in Russian]  What's this country coming to?! This is like the old days! We are not guilty of anything!

  Sacha : [speaking in Russian]  Where is your evidence?

  Ivan Danko : [grabs Sacha and throws him to the ground, then grabs Sacha's prosthetic leg and pulls it, turns it over and a white powder comes out and speaking in Russian]  Cocaine.

• Viktor Rostavili : The people have many needs. One is law and order. Other? Entertainment.
