:51:00
- I'm serious.
- What do you mean?
:51:02
I mean, let's you and I kill Napoleon.
:51:05
You been drinking from
the glass we use for the village idiot?
:51:08
- It's the answer to our problems.
- It's not the answer. It's an answer.
:51:12
And it's the wrong answer.
The correct answer is flee. F-L-E-A. Flee.
:51:16
- The French occupy Moscow. He's there.
- Sonja!
:51:20
Two innocent-looking types like us
could get in and shoot him.
:51:24
We'd never get near him,
and if we did, we'd miss.
:51:26
He's a tough target. He's very small.
:51:28
Boris, it's our chance
to perform a truly heroic act.
:51:31
Since when is murder a heroic act?
:51:33
Violence is justified
in the service of mankind.
:51:37
- Who said that?
- Attila the Hun.
:51:39
You're quoting a Hun to me?
:51:41
Don't you know
that murder carries with it
:51:44
a moral imperative that transcends
any notion of inherent universal free will?
:51:50
That is incredibly jejune.
:51:54
- That's jejune?
- Jejune!
:51:56
You have the temerity to say that
I'm talking to you out ofjejunosity?
:52:01
I am one of the most june people
in all of the Russias.
:52:04
I have lvan's old pistol.
:52:06
Sonja!
Political assassination doesn't work.
:52:09
Violence leads to violence. He who
lives by the sword dies by the sword.
:52:12
Well, I'm out of clichés now.
:52:14
- Are you suggesting passive resistance?
- No, I'm suggesting active fleeing.
:52:19
- You can't run away all your life.
- I know, but murder.
:52:22
The most foul of all crimes.
:52:24
And not abstract murder like shooting
an unknown enemy on the battlefield,
:52:28
but standing in a closed room
with a live human being
:52:31
and pulling the trigger, face to face.
:52:34
And a famous human being, a successful
one, one who earns more than I do.
:52:38
My God, you figure Napoleon has gotta
be good for 10,000 francs a week.
:52:42
That's minimum. That's without tips
or extras. Nothing like that.
:52:46
And me, what am l? He's a great man.
:52:50
He thinks like the superman
and I'm just a worm,
:52:53
an insect, some kind of crawling,
disgusting, creeping little vermin.
