• Superintendent : Something has to be done. We won't put up with drunkenness!

  Nadezhda Gorbunkova : But you know very well, Varvara Sergeyevna, that...

  Superintendent : I know a lot more than you do, my dear. Where did he get the money?

  Nadezhda Gorbunkova : He was invited by a friend who had gotten a bonus.

  Superintendent : According to police records, just for one bay window he broke, he paid ninety seven rubles and eighteen kopecks. Where did he get that kind of money? Your husband has changed since that cruise. The corruptive Western influence. Those idiotic toys. And the thing he said about dogs. 'The best friend of man.' It's odd, and this is only an understatement. All those elements of 'la dolce vita'! I wouldn't be surprised to hear that your husband's secretly seeing a mistress.

• Nadezhda Gorbunkova : Senya, tell me, where did you get that pistol and that money? I beg you, please tell me!

  Semyon Gorbunkov : All right, I will tell you. But don't say a word to anyone!

  Nadezhda Gorbunkova : I swear.

  Semyon Gorbunkov : It's a state secret. That money and that gun were given me to help me with my mission.

  Nadezhda Gorbunkova : What mission?

  Semyon Gorbunkov : Sorry, I can't tell you that. When the time comes, you'll know everything. You might even... get a reward... After I'm gone!

• Nadezhda Gorbunkova : Did you see Sophia Loren? Did you drink Coca-Cola? How does it taste?

• Nadezhda Gorbunkova : I saw your special mission. After such a monstrous lie, I will not stay with you any longer! I'm sure the children will understand when they grow up. I'll take care of the divorce formalities. Goodbye.

• Nadezhda Gorbunkova : Please tell me the truth, horrible as it may be.

  Semyon Gorbunkov : I walked in the street and I slipped...

  Nadezhda Gorbunkova : You never knew how to lie, did you? I know what happened.

  Semyon Gorbunkov : Who told you?

  Nadezhda Gorbunkova : I'm sure it's not a closed fracture. What have you got there?

  Semyon Gorbunkov : Gold and diamonds.

  Nadezhda Gorbunkova : Stop kidding!
