Are you wearing pyjamas?
Repeated line
It smells like a Baku piss house in here.
Lavretiy Beria
Out of my way, you fannies!
Lazar Kaganovich
He's on the floor, he's on the fucking floor!
Nikita Khrushchev over Stalin's unconscious form
Hands up or I'll shoot you in the fucking face!
Marshal Georgy Zhukov leads the coup
Why has the Army been replaced by the NKVD all over Moscow? I mean, I'm smiling, but I'm very fucking FURIOUS!
Marshal Georgy Zhukov expresses his displeasure to Khrushchev and Beria
I've always been loyal to Stalin. Always. This arrests were authorised by Stalin but Stalin was also loyal to the collective leadership and that is true loyalty. However, he also had an iron will, undeviating, strong, could we not do the same and stick to what we believed in? No. It is stronger still to forge our own beliefs within the beliefs of the collective leadership, which I have now...done.
Vyacheslav Molotov
Malenkov: He's irreplaceable. How can we possibly...? I - we - must think of the people. As Acting General Secretary I must step up. I must, I must take his place while he's...on the floor.
Beria: You just said he's irreplaceable
Malenkov: Irreplaceable... "take his place", as in assembling the Central Committee, of course.
Beria: Good. I was testing you. Get used to that sort of challenge.
Beria and Malenkov over Stalin's unconscious form
What about Tukhachevsky and Pyatakov? Did they get a trial? What about Sokolnikov, who begged him to look after his elderly mother? And what did this monster do? He strangled her in front of him! It's too late. The only choice we have is between his death or his revenge. And you will fucking sign this.
Nikita Khrushchev
Vasily: I want to make a speech at my father's funeral.
Khrushchev: And I want to fuck Grace Kelly
Vasily: I simply don't care.
Malenkov: As acting General Secretary, I think that, um, well, the Committee should decide
Khrushchev: C-Committee? But our actual General Secretary is lying in a puddle of indignity! I mean - I think he's saying "Get me a doctor, now."
Malenkov: No, I don't...I don't agree. I think, uh, I think that we should wait until we're quorate.
Khrushchev: Quorate?! The room is only 75% conscious!
