Moscow made our reservations there.
We are on an officiaI mission...
:03:04
and we have no right
to change the orders of our superiors.
:03:07
Where is your courage,
Comrade BuIjanoff?
:03:09
Are you the BuIjanoff
who fought on the barricades?
:03:11
And now you are afraid
to take a room with a bath?
:03:14
I don't want to go to Siberia.
:03:15
And I don't want to go to HoteI Terminus.
:03:17
And I don't want to....
:03:19
-No.
-Listen to me.
:03:22
Look, BuIjanoff, if Lenin were aIive,
he wouId say:
:03:25
''BuIjanoff, comrade,
for once in your Iife you're in Paris.
:03:28
''Don't be a fooI.
Go in there and ring three times.''
:03:30
He wouIdn't say that.
:03:32
What he wouId say is:
''You can't afford to Iive in a cheap hoteI.
:03:35
''Doesn't the prestige of the BoIsheviks
mean anything to you?
:03:38
''Do you want to Iive in a hoteI...
:03:39
''where you press for the hot water
and coId water comes...
:03:42
''and when you press for coId water,
nothing comes at aII?''
:03:45
Phooey, BuIjanoff.
:03:47
I stiII say our pIace
is with the common peopIe.
:03:49
But who am I to contradict Lenin?
Let's go in.
:03:55
-Are you the manager?
-Yes, monsieur.
:03:57
Pardon me for introducing
Comrade Iranoff...
:03:59
-member of the Russian Board of Trade.
-Monsieur.
:04:02
-This is Comrade KopaIski.
-Monsieur.
:04:04
-And I am Comrade BuIjanoff.
-Monsieur.
:04:06
May I ask you how much your rooms are?
:04:08
GentIemen, I'm afraid
our rates are rather high.
:04:11
Why shouId you be afraid?
:04:13
I might be abIe to accommodate you.
:04:16
-Is there some more Iuggage?
-Yes.
:04:18
But have you a safe
big enough to hoId this?
:04:20
I'm afraid we have no boxes
of that size in the vauIt...
:04:23
-but there's a suite with a private safe.
-That's even better.
:04:26
-But, gentIemen, I'm afraid--
-He's aIways afraid.
:04:29
I just wanted to expIain.
:04:31
The apartment
may suit your convenience...
:04:33
but I doubt whether
it wiII fit your convictions.
:04:35
-It's the RoyaI Suite.
-The RoyaI Suite?
:04:37
Just a minute.
:04:39
Comrades, I warn you, if it gets out in
Moscow that we stay in the RoyaI Suite...
:04:43
we'II get into terribIe troubIe.
:04:45
We'II teII them we had to do it
on account of the safe.
:04:47
That's a perfect excuse.
There was no other safe big enough.
:04:50
-That's right.
-That's fine.
:04:52
Of course, we couId take out the pieces...
:04:54
and distribute them
in three or four boxes in the vauIt...
:04:57
and take a smaII room.
:04:59
-That's an idea, isn't it?
-Yes, that's an idea.
