Quotes
-
Anna : Why are you doing this, why are you helping us?
Nikolai Luzhin : I can't become king if someone else already sits on the throne.
-
Anna : My uncle has gone missing, since I told you about him translating the diary.
Nikolai Luzhin : Your uncle is fine, he is in Edinburgh, in a 5-Star Hotel. I was ordered to send him to Heaven with a bullet in his brain... instead I gave him a first class ticket to Scotland. He is old-school, he understands things... exile or death.
-
Anna : So you've read the diary. How can you keep doing what you're doing?
Nikolai Luzhin : I'm just a driver.
-
Anna : Have you ever met a girl named Tatiana?
Nikolai Luzhin : I meet lot of girls named Tatiana.
Anna : She was pregnant.
Nikolai Luzhin : Ah, in that case - no, I've never heard of her.
Anna : She died on my shift.
Nikolai Luzhin : I thought you did birth?
Anna : Sometimes birth and death go together. She came in with needle punches all over both arms. Probably a prostitute, at the age of fourteen. Do you think Semyon's son knew her?
Nikolai Luzhin : [growing agitated] I am driver. I go left, I go right, I go straight ahead - that's it.
-
Stepan : Anna, how is it that your boyfriend wasn't here to carve?
Anna : I don't live with Oliver anymore, Uncle Stepan. Living back here for a bit.
Helen : For as long as you want.
Stepan : I knew he would run away from you.
Anna : He didn't run away. Christ, you make me sound like a burning building.
Stepan : Black men always run away.
Helen : Oh Stepan!
Stepan : I'm not allowed to be honest?
Helen : He was a doctor, Stepan.
Anna : What has that got to do with anything?
Stepan : It's not natural to mix race and race. That's why your baby died inside you.
-
Anna : I read the diary. She was a virgin! The baby's definitely his.
[Angry shove from Nikolai]
-
Anna : [unsettling man foists borsht on her] Mmm! That's just like the borsht my Father used to make.
