Rutenberg Page #3

- I love you, too

but I want you to return with me.

I can't take it any longer.

I don't want to be alone any longer.

I want you with me, understand?

Listen, listen.

It is only for a few months.

In a few months I will begin building

my plant in Palestine.

And then you and Ilyusha will come.

- Yes, we will come...

You can speak

Russian there, too.

And our home will be by the plant.

- Yes, yes.

Here.

You see,

you will see me from the window.

And you will come home

at 5:
00 to eat with us? - Yes.

Possibly at 6:
00.

You will never change.

Never.

It is not customary here to barge in

with no advance notice...

It is not customary here?

- It is not customary here...

I leave you here alone

for two months,

and what do I find upon my return?

I have a wuss in hand, a wuss!

Mr. Rutenberg, I went to see

the offices they are offering me,

two rooms by Church St.,

two minutes from the City.

It is now or never for me.

Leonard, there are those

who create history,

and there are those who are

trampled by history.

So decide where you want to be.

- In the City.

In the City. So, I am going

to create an historic revolution

and you wish to remain

in London...

Son of a b*tch!

Pyotr, you must help him.

When you fled Russia...

After...

After Gapon.

There were people here who helped.

You got help.

Mama, look, foam.

He is your friend.

You were partners,

and you know

many influential people here.

Yes, and they are waiting

for the first mistake I make.

I am begging you,

do something, for me.

Please help him, for me.

Please, Pyotr.

All right.

Volodia.

Pyetkeh!

I understand everything.

I understand you must not

be seen with a Bolshevik.

You may be seen,

but I am a Bolshevik.

The situation in Russia

is worse today than under the Czar.

You know who their deputy minister

for coal industries is?

Ramizov. Our good friend.

We were wrong, Pyotr

Moiseyevich.

If Kerensky was not a coward, they

would have hung Lenin and Trotsky

and then they would have cried.

"We were wrong", you were wrong.

I was wrong...

I was only wrong

about one thing.

I chose the wrong friends.

Twenty years together,

and what do I receive in return?

A knife in the back.

I came to him,

to Ramizov's office,

and he said to me:

"Volodia, what do you want?

Times change. Everything changes.

We don't need you any longer."

He dumped me like a dog.

Listen to me,

I need your help.

Pyotr Moiseyevich, I need

papers to stay here.

I'm an illegal immigrant.

Help me.

I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry.

Not now.

Pyotr, I won't last 2-3 months.

I need help now.

Pyotr, help me.

You're the last one I have left.

I'll die, like a dog.

I'm very sorry.
