CHAIRMAN OF THE DUMA: So, we take power. But what do we do with Russia, Sergei Ivanovich?
MINISTER: Saw it up and sell it.
CHAIRMAN: To whom?
MINISTER: We sell the east to the Japanese; Siberia goes to the Chinese; the Krasnodarsk region—to the Ukies; Altai—to the Kazakhs; Pskov Oblast—to the Estonians; Novgorod Oblast—to the Belorussians. But we’ll leave the center for ourselves. Everything is ready, Boris Petrovich. We’ve not only hand picked all our people, they’re already in place.
(A significant pause. A candle burns.)
Tomorrow! What do you say?
CHAIRMAN (looking around): It’s a bit scary, Sergei Ivanovich…
MINISTER (breathing hot and heavy, embracing the Duma chairman): Don’t be afraid, don’t be scared! Together we’ll control Moscow! Eh? Moscow?
(He squints lustfully.)
Think about it, my dear fellow! We’ll have all of Moscow right here!
(He shows his pudgy palm.)
