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...
1:44:00
but I must ask you
to entrust someone eIse with this mission.
1:44:03
I shouId hate
to interrupt my present work.
1:44:06
I am positive my survey
is more important...
1:44:08
than finding out whether
three of our comrades have been...
1:44:11
drinking some extra gIasses
of champagne.
1:44:13
That is for me to decide,
Comrade Yakushova.
1:44:16
I am sorry. I don't want
to overstep my position...
1:44:20
but pIease don't send me.
PIease, comrade, Iet me stay here.
1:44:24
Let me finish my work.
I'm in the rhythm of it now.
1:44:26
I don't want to go away.
1:44:28
I don't want to be sent
into that foreign atmosphere again.
1:44:31
It throws you out of gear.
1:44:32
Let me finish my work.
I have concentrated everything in it.
1:44:36
PIease don't make me go.
1:44:38
Don't waste my time, comrade.
Do your duty. Goodbye.
1:44:44
I shaII do my best.
