Enemy at the Gates Page #2

The way of courage.

The way of love

of the motherland.

We must publish

the army newspaper again.

We must tell magnificent stories.

Stories that extol...

sacrifice, bravery.

We must make them believe

in the victory.

We must give them hope,

pride, a desire to fight.

Yes, we need to

make examples.

But examples to follow.

What we need...

are heroes.

Do you know any heroes

around here?

Yes, comrade,

I know one.

That's me!

"Vassili Zaitsev."

That's me!

No, you're not dreaming.

It's your name.

We made the front page.

They haven't changed a word.

Do you have any idea

what this means?

It's not the back page,

it's not the second page,

- it's the front page.

- The front page!

They're going to reprint

our article everywhere.

In the Caucasus, in the Crimea,

even in the Urals.

Tomorrow morning, Stalin himself

will be sitting over breakfast,

reading my words,

memorizing your name.

We're famous, Vassili.

Kruschev loved the article.

He's promoted me

to the general staff.

And you

to sniper division.

- Well, that's good.

- It's very good.

- It's very good. It's great.

- It's very great!

- It's great!

- For us because we did it together.

-Together!

- Although I did all the hard work.

- Oh, yeah?

- You're very lucky I can't fight back.

- Why's that?

Because Kruschev told me to

make sure nothing happens to you.

- You're too important.

- I'm too valuable.

Yes, careful of my... careful

of my glasses, please. They're new.

Sorry, sir.

- I'm famous! We're famous!

- I'm famous! I'm famous!

Vassili,

the young shepherd from the Urals,

killed his 12th

German officer today.

He used to hunt wolves,

now he shoots fascists.

Today, Vassili Zaitsev

shot his 23rd German officer.

He is an example to us all.

Vassilis hot

his 32nd German officer.

Count only the Germans

you have killed.

- Today, Vassili Zaitsev...

- Here is the evidence...

by sniper Vassili Zaitsev.

More and more men and women, fighters

from all branches of our armed forces,

join the sniper division and learn

the skills of Vassili Zaitsev.

I am a stone.

I am a stone.

I breathe slowly.

I am at the eye.

So it is you,

the great Vassili Zaitsev.

- My mother makes potatoes with bacon.

- Sounds good.

When she sees you,

she won't believe her eyes.

- How many today?

- Only two.

And the last one,

why didn't you shoot him?

He was only a foot soldier.

Wasn't worth giving away my position.

- Bless you.

We know how much

we owe you.

We pray for you every day.

Every evening, we listen to them talk

about you on Radio Moscow.

Thanks. You've certainly

managed well down here.

My parents used to store furniture

down here before the war.
