"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.)"

Это у нас с ними цацкаются, на поруки берут, перевоспитывают! А надо, как в Турции в старину поступали! Посадят вора в чан с дерьмом, — только голова торчит, — и возят по городу. А над ним янычар с мечом, и каждые пять минут ка-а-а-ак вжик мечом над чаном! Так что если вор не нырнёт — голова с плеч! Вот так он весь день в дерьмо и нырял! (Трошкин: Так то в Турции. Там тепло.)
