Yeah, well, they

were suspicious...

of our passports.

- What?

- May I see them, please?

Sure.

Okay.

This is why, Roy. Look.

They're new. Brand-new.

A new passport is

easy to forge.

There are fewer stamps

and visas to copy.

Hold on there. Those are the

real McCoy. We just got those.

Hold on.

Let me show you mine.

This is the real McCoy.

- Oh.

- See?

- Well used.

- Yeah.

They're not accustomed

to see new passports.

What's Canada like?

I always wanted...

Let me tell you the

secret to getting...

through Customs

and across borders.

Don't stand out.

You think it's obvious

that we're Americans?

Nah... Well, she

definitely looks American.

So you've done

this trip before?

S.

Train's cheaper than plane.

I don't like the cold,

but my...

Huh?

The colder, the better, huh?

- You know?

- S.

If she loves cold, she'd...

love Iowa, 'cause

it gets cold there.

Here they are.

Hey, do you think it

maybe a little early to...

- Early?

- You know.

Roy, it's late.

It's 3:
00 a.m.

Trains run on Moscow time.

We have much

catching up to do.

Not for me.

- No?

- No.

But it will melt

the ice inside you.

Can I please bum one of those?

'Melt the ice.'

Cheers.

- Uh, uh, Na Zdorovie.

- Hey.

- He's got it.

- Hey, hey.

- Na Zdorovie.

- Na Zdorovie.

Where are you from?

Nowhere really.

- Seattle.

- Do you speak Russian?

- No, my Russian

is a little...

So you've been teaching

English in Japan?

- How was it?

- Rusty?

- It's all right.

- Rusty.

- I prefer Southeast Asia.

- Where are you from?

I guess you've been

traveling a long time.

Uh, about two years.

You ever miss home?

No, I never really had much

of a home to miss.

You ever thought

about getting off the road?

You know, plant a root?

So, uh, you were

helping kids in China?

Yes. Yeah.

Roy's church... our church...

has a... has a program.

It's like a sister-city thing.

That's nice.

It was nice.

It was a lot of work,

but it felt good, you know?

I've never done anything

like that before.

Like what?

You know, lending

a helping hand...

and helping

someone who's down.

Roy's real good like that.

He's... He's good with people.

Da, da, da.

He seems like he would be.

Oh, God.

Okay. Show 'em.

Look at this.

Oh.

A tiger attack

him in Habarask.

There are tigers in Russia?

A lot of Siberian tigers.

He hunts them.

Tony the Tiger attack me.

Hey, look at this.

A deer attacked me.

A deer?

Yeah. John Deere power mower.

The Gulag?

What did he do?

Wrote poetry.

Gulag still exists?

No, but once in

Siberia were many Gulag.

If you want proof

about America,

you take a book.

You want proof about Russia,

take shovel.
