:22:04
Comrades, your teIegram was received
with great disfavor in Moscow.
:22:07
We did our best, comrade.
:22:09
I hope so, for your sake.
Let's examine the case.
:22:12
-What does the Iawyer say?
-Which Iawyer?
:22:15
You didn't get IegaI advice?
:22:17
We deaIt directIy with the representative
of the Grand Duchess.
:22:20
I am sure if you caII him,
he wiII give you a very cIear picture.
:22:23
I wiII not repeat your mistake.
:22:25
I wiII have no deaIings with
the Grand Duchess nor her representative.
:22:34
-Comrade BuIjanoff?
-Yes, comrade?
:22:37
Do you speII BuIjanoff
with one or two ''F's''?
:22:41
With two ''F's,'' if you pIease.
:22:49
Have you some cigarettes?
:22:54
This is the RoyaI Suite.
PIease send up some cigarettes. Yes.
:23:00
You just teIephone
and you get what you want.
:23:02
That's the capitaIistic system.
:23:05
Comrades, I am not in a position
to pass finaI judgment.
:23:08
But at best, you've been careIess
in your duty to the State.
:23:11
You were entrusted with more
than a mere saIe of jeweIry.
:23:15
Why are we peddIing our precious
possessions to the worId at this time?
:23:18
Our next year's crop is in danger
and you know it.
:23:22
UnIess we can get foreign currency
to buy tractors...
:23:25
there wiII not be enough bread
for our peopIe.
:23:27
-And you, comrades--
-We did it with the best intentions.
:23:30
We can't feed the Russian peopIe
on your intentions.
:23:33
Fifty percent to a so-caIIed Grand Duchess.
:23:37
HaIf of every Ioaf of bread to our enemy.
:23:40
-Comrade KopaIski.
-Yes, comrade.
:23:41
Go at once to our embassy and get me
the address of the best Iawyer in Paris.
:23:45
Yes, comrade.
:23:46
Comrade Iranoff, go to the pubIic Iibrary...
:23:48
and get me the section
of the Civil Code on property.
:23:51
-Is there anything I can do, comrade?
-Yes.
:23:54
You might get me
an accurate map of Paris.
:23:57
I want to use my spare time
to inspect pubIic utiIities...
