• [General Orlov tries to board the circus train, but is shot down by the German border guards. General Gogol, who by now learned about Orlov's scheme, approaches the fatally-injured man, looking at him disdainfully] 

  General Anatoly Gogol : [contemptuously]  A common thief. A disgrace to the uniform!

  Orlov : Yes, but tomorrow, I shall be a hero of the Soviet Union.

  [despite his pain, Orlov smiles faintly, and then dies] 

• General Anatoly Gogol : I believe I express the opinion of everyone present that adoption of NATO proposals does not compromise our defensive position.

  Orlov : [clears throat]  Comrade Chairman.

  Soviet Chairman : General Orlov.

  Orlov : General Gogol is presumptuous. He speaks for himself and others who cling to *timid*, outdated and unrealistic policies! Must I remind you, the committee, of our *overwhelming* superiority over NATO forces before we give it away?

• Orlov : A lightening thrust by ten armored divisions from the north and by five more through Czechoslovakia, leads to total victory in five days against any possible defense scenario.

  General Anatoly Gogol : This is absolute madness! We know where it will end. NATO will counterattack with nuclear weapons!

  Orlov : Never! The West is decadent - and divided! It has no stomach to risk our atomic reprisals! Throughout Europe daily demonstrations demand unilateral nuclear disarmament.

  General Anatoly Gogol : I see no reason to risk war to satisfy your personal paranoia and thirst for conquest!

• General Anatoly Gogol : My government categorically denies the incident ever occurred.
