1:42:12
Come in.
1:42:21
-Good morning, comrade.
-Good morning, Comrade Commissar.
1:42:24
Here's my report on materiaIs avaiIabIe
for trading in the next four months.
1:42:28
Does it incIude products
of the far eastern provinces?
1:42:30
-Yes, it does.
-You've finished the whoIe investigation?
1:42:34
That's marveIous.
You must have worked day and night.
1:42:36
-Don't you ever sIeep?
-I need very IittIe sIeep.
1:42:39
We must be extremeIy carefuI
what goods we take in exchange.
1:42:42
I have aIready started a survey
on our most urgent needs.
1:42:45
Comrade, I am afraid you wiII have
to turn over that work to someone eIse.
1:42:49
May I ask why?
1:42:51
-PIease sit down.
-Thank you.
1:42:54
Now, comrade, have you heard
from KopaIski, BuIjanoff, and Iranoff?
1:42:58
-No.
-I haven't either...
1:42:59
but I have heard about them.
You must reaIize...
1:43:02
it was on the strength of your Paris report
that I sent them to ConstantinopIe.
1:43:06
Without that,
I never wouId have trusted them...
1:43:08
on a mission as important as a fur deaI.
1:43:11
May I ask what has happened?
1:43:12
If I toId you what's going on
in ConstantinopIe right now...
1:43:16
you wouIdn't beIieve it.
1:43:17
They are sitting there, those three,
for six weeks...
1:43:20
and haven't soId a piece of fur.
1:43:22
This anonymous report was sent to me.
1:43:24
They are dragging the good name of our
country through every café and nightcIub.
1:43:29
Here. ''How can the BoIshevik cause
gain respect among the MosIems...
1:43:33
''if your three representatives, BuIjanoff,
Iranoff, and KopaIski get so drunk...
1:43:38
''that they throw a carpet
out of their hoteI window...
1:43:41
''and compIain to the management
that it didn't fIy.''
1:43:43
UnbeIievabIe! It's an outrage.
1:43:46
They shouIdn't do such things.
Are you sure this report's correct?
1:43:50
NaturaIIy, I want to verify it,
and that's why I need you.
1:43:54
-You want me to go to ConstantinopIe?
-Yes, Ieaving immediateIy.
1:43:58
I appreciate your confidence in me...
