"(after a fight with hooligans)"

"(First conversation between Gosha and Nikolai. Nikolai enters the room. Gosha silently pours Nikolai a glass of vodka. Nikolai silently drinks without haste, then takes a tiny piece of bread from the plate, sniffs it, and puts it back. Gosha gives Nikolai his hand.)"
"Nikolai. (very drunken) You said that if the wife has a higher salary, this is not a family. Well, how can she confess something!"
"Nikolai. (very drunken and disheveled, to Tonia and Lyudmila) Well! I said I would deliver him, and so I delivered!"
"Katerina. How long have I been looking for you..."
"Shurik told us this story. He collected folklore during his vacation. Maybe this story is just a legend, but, according to Shurik, it really happened in one of the mountain regions. He did not say in which one, so as not to be unfair to other regions where exactly the same story could have happened."
"Portier. My great grandfather said: "I desire to buy a house, but I don't have the means to do it. I have the means to buy a goat, but I don't desire it." So let us drink to our desires always meeting our possibilities."
"Barman. ...And when the whole flock flew south for the winter, one small but proud bird said: "Personally, I will fly right into the sun." And she began to rise higher and higher, but very soon she burned her wings and fell to the very bottom of the deepest gorge.

It's logical, if you're counting on simpletons who don't know Germany, but I know Germany. You braggart. Why a braggart? If I didn't know Germany, I would have taken Erwin here, but I took him via Neukölln. Well done, Stirlitz."

"People whom I unconditionally trust speak openly to each other about the tragedy of the situation, about the stupidity of our military, the cretinism of Ribbentrop, about the blockheaded Göring, and about the terrible thing that awaits us all if the Russians break into Berlin. But Stierlitz replies: 'Nonsense, everything is fine. Things are progressing well.' Love for the motherland and the Führer is not about blindly lying to friends at work. I asked myself, maybe, he's a blockhead? After all, we've a lot of duds who mindlessly repeat Göbbels' abracadabra. No, he isn't a blockhead. Then why is he not sincere? He either doesn't trust anyone, or he's afraid of something, or he's up to something and wants to be crystal pure."
"We've few people, but a lot to do, Krueger. Damn lot to do."
"You can expect anything from the Reds. You can expect the same from the Americans, too. I've been fighting them for a year. These idiots will be destroyed by their own technology. They think that a war can be won by bombing alone. They will build up their technical power and drown in it. It will rot them like rust. They will decide that they can do anything. The Reds think so because they are wild and poor people. The Americans think so because they are too rich. That is why wars are necessary."
"States are like people. They hate a static. Borders choke them. They need movement, this is an axiom. A movement is a war."
"War is necessary one way or another. Not that stupid, of course. This is an amateur's war. He [Hitler] decided that he could fight on a whim. He alone knows what we all need. He alone loves great Germany, and we are all just thinking about how to betray it to the Bolsheviks and Americans."
"I bequeathed to my children: damn any democracy in our Reich. Every democracy in our country is fraught with only one thing: the dictatorship of petty shopkeepers. The more freedoms we have, the sooner we want the SS, the secret police, concentration camps, total fear. Only then do we feel at peace. There is no need to defend your point of view on the fate of the motherland. No responsibility.

"(plays chess with Stirlitz) What is this? Checkmate to me?! No, that won't do. You didn't play like that, and I didn't play like that, put it back. I'll play the Caro-Kann Defense. Just don't bother me, please."
"(Frau Saurich and Gabi visiting Stirlitz) I'd better play for you, and you two dance. I haven't seen people dance for a long time."
"Stop the Bolsheviks, don’t let them into Europe, personally I see my duty only in this."

"This is Stirlitz, the Russian spy" — Müller answers tiredly. — "So arrest him! Are you Gestapo chief or kindergarten principal?!" — "It's pointless, mein Führer. He can always justify himself with his impeccable logic.""
"February 23, 1945. Drunk Stirlitz walks along Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse in budenovka with red star, plays the balalaika, and sings Russian obscene chastushkas about Hitler. Narrator: "Never before has he been so close to failure." (last phrase is exact quote from movie)"

"Who is he? Miserable engineer and nothing else! And what kind of life does he have? To the work in the morning, from the work in the evening... Wife at home, kids... snotty noses... Would go visit some theater, or, in the summer, a sanatorium... in Yalta. Snorefest! And you? You're a thief! A gentleman of fortune! Stole, drank, go to jail! Stole, drank, go to jail! The allure! So don't worry… Of course he’s jealous."
"Oh, what's wrong with you people...? Shame on you! You're forty years old each, past over a half of your lives! What's behind you? What's now? What's ahead? Darkness, filth, fear and nothing human. Snap out of it... Snap out of it before it's too late — that's my advice to you!"
"I feel like there's an ambush there… I always feel it…"
"It’s us who mess with them, take them on bail, re-educate them! But we should do it like in Turkey, in the old days! They'd put the thief in a vat of crap, so just his head sticks out, and drive him around the city. And above him is a Janissary with a sword, and every five minutes he's liiiike... swoosh – with his sword over the vat! So if the thief doesn’t dive, his head rolls! That's how he dived into crap all day! (Troshkin: Well, that's Turkey. It's warm over there.)"

"Only think about it, it’s mysticism. You take a paper, make a special drawing on it. And suddenly the magic begins. It’s not a paper anymore. It’s any thing. Any desire. Freedom. Conquered space… But the drawing has to be very precise. If one tiny curl is missing, it seems like it makes no difference. But that’s the end. The magic is already destroyed.

"Znamenski: (looking at Ignat's paintings) Are these fishes?"
"You see, Pal Palych, when you go to work in the frosty morning, you don't give a damn about these diamonds. It would be nice to have warm long johns. If you know, there are those with nap. Believe it or not, Pal Palych, not a single chick remembers good. They won't even send me cigarettes."

"(kindly) Today, my friends, we have a kind of anniversary. And I would like to congratulate you all heartily. As the learned people say, quantity has turned into quality. The total amount of thefts we have committed has already reached a level that is provided for by a different article of the Criminal Code than before. And this article says: up to the capital punishment. So from now on, you and I are not just thieves, but extremely dangerous ones. Agree, this already obliges us a lot. <...> So, let's live quietly. We work for another year, then go each in his own way. But for now, no rustling of banknotes. And if someone doesn't like it, then I advise you to stand with your face to the wall and sniff a bricks for long time. I ask you not to forget that a breeze from the grave is blowing on us all now. Let's not catch a cold!"
"I must tell you, Comrade Colonel, that the dump isn't obstacle for philosophy. Especially since sooner or later everything ends up in the dump. ... So I walk along the scraps of trampled posters, I step, I step on familiar faces... I studied with this girl together... I step on! I went on tour with this guy together - I step on! And these two, who smile from a puddle now, once worked together, became famous together... and then they argued over which size of letters to use for their names - and that's it. As a result, one had a stroke, the other a heart attack, and the worst thing is I am not sad, not a bit, not a tiny drop! I just laugh. After all, I myself once put on a tailcoat, sang in rapture "Thro' the iron balustrade put thy wondrous tender foot." And now I understand perfectly well what these iron balustrade is worth. They even give a dime for an empty half-liter bottle. But these premieres, these applause... they are not even on the junk dealers' price list."

And suddenly - it had already snowed, and he showed up with flowers, with chrysanthemums. And he immediately started explaining to me about some special late variety. I couldn't stand it and said: "Pavel Petrovich, I'm getting married." He turned white, my honey, like those chrysanthemums... he said: "Congratulations, and who are you marrying?" And I said: "You.""
