I wouldn't ask you.

It isn't possible you were

thinking of something else.

This is just a shot in the dark,

but her eyes don't look like

they had soap in 'em.

This might be some new form

of Russian propaganda.

Maybe they are actually

trying to make friends

and influence people.

Could be.

Could be.

I wonder if you fully understand

your position, Lieutenant.

- As a refugee?

- You came here to avoid being shot.

That is correct.

You want us to give you sanctuary,

yet you don't wanna do anything in return.

I'm not going to tell you anything

that will hurt my country.

I'm a refugee, not a traitor.

In other words,

you want something for nothing.

Your precious freedom

it has to be bought?

Why not?

We paid a high price for it.

And it's getting

scarcer in the worid all the time.

Exactly.

What kind of people

do you think we are?

You're trying to confuse me.

I won't tell you anything,

I don't care what you say.

I can't get used to women soldiers.

I don't like the idea

of putting pressure on a girl like you.

Pressure?

I didn't know they did things

like that in the United States.

What things?

Pressure means torture, doesn't it?

I didn't hear the general

say anything about torture.

Did you, Rivers?

I didn't even hear the general

say anything about pressure.

Did you, Major?

I didn't hear the general say anything.

You gentlemen are making me feel

very much at home.

That's just the way

we want you to feel, Lieutenant.

You're a soldier.

Would you have any respect for me...

if I told you what you wanted to know

about the Russian Air Force?

Don't you think

I have a sense of honor?

- Are you referring to your honor

as a Soviet soldier?

- What else do you think I'm talking about?

What's so funny about that?

It's very refreshing to hear

a commie talk about honor.

I honor my country above everything.

Does that mean you can have

no honor, no love,

no respect for anything else?

Precisely.

Not even for yourself?

With us, the state is everything.

The individual has no right

to even think of himself.

Well, if we respected

your feelings in this manner,

you'd have no respect for us.

Why not?

You'd think it was a good joke.

Sure, Americans are so simple

about this freedom thing.

They don't seem to realize

they're cooking the calf

in the milk of its own mother.

Isn't that, uh, true?

I've never even thought about it

in that light.

I think you should.

Come in, Captain.

In fact, I'd advise you

to give it very careful thought.

I will think about that too.

Shannon, you certainly

gave her the works.

Yes, sir. If anybody's gonna

get anything out of this girl,

it'll be Shannon.

Me?

The most perfect case
