IS THIS GLASS FULL?

YEAH. THAT'S THE WAY

YOU DRINK IT.

IT'S GO CUCUMBERS IN IT.

LIKE BORSCHT!

AMERICAN BORSCHT.

I MADE IT MYSELF.

MAYBE YOU'RE

PLAYING JOKES ON ME.

LET'S CHANGE GLASSES.

DO YOU MIND?

I'VE NEVER SEEN A RUSSIAN

YET THAT WASN'T SUSPICIOUS.

IT'S PATHETIC.

IT'S BETTER

THAN BORSCHT.

I LIKE IT.

I CAN'T SEE

ANY CUCUMBERS.

YOU'LL SEE THEM

IN A MINUTE.

I LOVE:

AMERICANS BEST.

YEAH. YEAH. THAT'S ONE THING

YOU GOT TO HAND AMERICANS-

THEY'RE PERFECT.

PERFECT!

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN,

PERFECT? NOTHING.

AMERICA IS PERFECT,

BUT RUSSIA IS BETTER.

WHY? YOU ASK.

BECAUSE RUSSIA:

HAS A SOUL.

AND WHA IS THIS SOUL?

IT IS SUFFERING:

AND BEAUTY.

YOU DON' UNDERSTAND.

YOU'VE

NEVER SUFFERED.

COMRADE, I WAN SOME MORE BORSCHT.

HELP YOURSELF.

EXCUSE ME.

HANG IT UP,

WILL YOU?

OH, MR. THOMPSON!

PLEASE, MR. THOMPSON. I'D LIKE

TO TALK TO YOU ALONE, IN PRIVATE.

OK, VANYA.

I LIKE:

AMERICANS BEST.

HA HA! HEE HEE!

AHH!

HA HA HA!

EXCUSE ME.

I DON'T WANT HER TO HEAR

WHAT I GOT TO SAY.

SHE'S A SPY.

YEAH, I KNOW.

EVERYBODY'S A SPY.

THAT'S WHY

I LIKE YOU, VANYA.

YOU'RE TOO DUMB

TO BE A SPY.

THANK YOU.

MR. THOMPSON, YOU NEVER MET MY DAUGHTER?

NO. I NEVER HAD

THE PLEASURE, VANYA.

OH, I LOVE HER.

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

IN TROUBLE?

SHE IS:

IN TERRIBLE DANGER.

I'M SORRY

TO HEAR THAT.

WHAT'S SHE DONE?

SHE IS A COMMUNIST.

YOU DON'T SAY.

I THOUGHT THEY WERE

ALLOWED IN RUSSIA.

OH, THE WORST THING

YOU CAN BE.

AT FIRST,

THEY WERE VERY POPULAR.

THEY KILLED EVERYBODY.

BUT NOW WE HAVE IN RUSSIA

A DOUBLE SITUATION.

THE COMMUNISTS HAVE IDEALS, BUT THEY

FOUND OUT YOU CAN'T RUN A GOVERNMEN WITH EVERYBODY

GOING AROUND HAVING IDEALS.

SO WHAT IS HAPPENING?

THE COMMUNISTS ARE BEING EXECUTED

SO THAT COMMUNISM SHOULD SUCCEED.

YEAH. I KNOW.

THEY KEEP IT UP LONG ENOUGH,

IT'LL BE A GREAT COUNTRY.

MY DAUGHTER REFUSES

TO GIVE UP HER IDEALS.

ANY DAY, SHE MIGH BE DEAD, MR. THOMPSON-

HER AND HER IDEALS TOGETHER.

I WOULDN'T WORRY

TOO MUCH, VANYA.

THERE ARE LOTS OF RUSSIANS

THAT HAVEN'T BEEN SHOT.

OH, NOT MY GOLUBKA.

THE MINUTE THEY:

ASK HER QUESTIONS,

SHE WILL MAKE A SPEECH,

AND THEY SHOOT HER.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME

TO DO, MUZZLE HER?

NO.

YOU MUST TAKE HER OU OF RUSSIA, MR. THOMPSON.

THAT IS THE ONLY WAY

TO SAVE HER LIFE.

WELL, I'M SORRY, PAL, BUT I

DON'T HAPPEN TO BE LEAVING RUSSIA.

YES, YOU DO.

THAT'S WHA I'M TELLING YOU.

YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE HER

OUT OF RUSSIA TONIGHT.

YOU'RE CUCKOO, VANYA.

MR. THOMPSON, YOU ARE FORCING

ME TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING

WITH THAT RADIO, VANYA?

CAMERAS ARE FORBIDDEN

IN MOSCOW.

SO WHAT?

SO THIS IS A CAMERA.

OK.

WHAT ELSE YOU GO ON YOUR MIND?

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
