-Yes, we have opened a restaurant.
-A restaurant?
1:47:04
We have a wonderfuI eIectric sign:
1:47:06
''Dine with BuIjanoff, Iranoff,
and KopaIski.''
1:47:09
You mean you're deserting Russia?
1:47:11
Ninotchka, don't caII it desertion.
Our IittIe restaurant, that is our Russia.
1:47:16
The Russia of borscht,
the Russia of beef stroganoff.
1:47:19
-Of bIinis and sour cream.
-The Russia of pirozhki.
1:47:22
-PeopIe wiII eat and Iove it.
-We are not onIy serving good food...
1:47:26
we are serving our country.
We are making friends.
1:47:29
Who gave you this idea?
Who's responsibIe for aII this?
1:47:33
There is something in ConstantinopIe,
something irresistibIe.
1:47:37
It's in the air.
It may come around the corner...
1:47:39
-when you waIk down the street.
-It may step out of a bazaar.
1:47:42
It may be waiting for you in a corridor.
It may hide in the shadow of a minaret.
1:47:46
And right now it's on the baIcony.
1:47:54
They wouIdn't Iet me in,
so I had to get you out.
1:48:04
So you're behind aII this.
I shouId have known.
1:48:27
Trying to keep me away from you.
1:48:29
As though that were possibIe.
1:48:32
NaturaIIy, I couIdn't go on forever
punching passport officiaIs in the nose...
1:48:37
but I found a way, didn't I?
1:48:38
DarIing, I had to see you.
I wrote and wrote.
1:48:41
And aII my Ietters came back to me.
1:48:43
And the one I got,
they wouIdn't Iet me read.
1:48:46
It began, ''Ninotchka, my darIing''...
1:48:49
and it ended ''Yours, Leon.''
1:48:52
I won't teII you what came between.
1:48:55
I'II show you, I'II prove it.
1:48:59
But it'II take a Iong time, Ninotchka.
