Good evening, Comrade Boroff.
:05:03
We are great admirers
of your beautiful music.
:05:07
My name is Brankov.
:05:08
This is Comrade Bibinski,
that's Comrade Ivanov.
:05:12
You seem nervous, Comrade Boroff.
:05:15
You have come after me?
:05:16
It is true that the Commissar of Art
suggested that we look you up...
:05:21
say hello and point out a few things.
:05:24
He wanted us to tell you
how much Russia loves you...
:05:27
how much she needs you.
:05:28
And how nice it would be
if you came back to Russia with us.
:05:31
- Or else...
- Boroff, what's up?
:05:35
These gentlemen,
my Comrades from Moscow...
:05:38
say that I must come back
to Russia with them.
:05:41
That's impossible.
:05:42
He's going to write the score
for my picture.
:05:45
That's impossible!
:05:46
For a composer like Boroff to write
the music for a capitalistic picture...
:05:50
- is degrading.
- And very profitable.
:05:52
He'll receive $50,000.
:05:54
How much taxes
will Russia get on $50,000?
:05:57
$50,000.
:06:00
Furthermore, Comrades...
:06:02
his name will become world famous.
This is no ordinary picture.
:06:06
It stars that incomparable artist,
Peggy Dayton.
:06:09
Look at her.
:06:13
- Looks very intelligent.
- And very talented, Comrades.
:06:16
And what lovely eyes.
:06:20
It is no matter. Boroff must return with us.
It is the wish of the Soviet government.
:06:25
- What about the French government?
- What do they have to do with a Russian?
:06:29
First you must establish that
he is a Russian citizen.
:06:32
Of course he's a Russian citizen.
A product of pure Russian culture!
:06:35
- And a French father.
- Do not talk nonsense.
:06:38
- You never told me.
- Nor did your mother, apparently.
:06:41
I have in my possession an affidavit
from one Pierre Bouchard...
:06:45
a French traveling salesman
who carried a line of farm machinery...
:06:48
through Russia in the 1920s.
That's right, isn't it?
:06:51
- Please show us the affidavit.
- I'll produce it when necessary.
:06:55
Also, in 20 minutes,
I'll have an injunction restraining you...
:06:58
from taking French citizen Boroff
out of Paris.
