:17:02
I'm not so sure if, for this job,
a woman will...
:17:05
Physically a woman is not equipped to...
:17:07
When the Minister sent me he did not say
it was for a discussion of biology.
:17:13
- Please sit down.
- I will stand.
:17:16
You are my superior.
:17:18
I prefer to maintain
revolutionary discipline.
:17:20
Just what I have always maintained.
Let us get down to business.
:17:24
You are familiar with
Peter Ilyitch Boroff's music?
:17:27
You are a music lover?
:17:30
- Music is essential for parades.
- Of course.
:17:34
A couple of months ago,
some idiot let Boroff get to Paris...
:17:38
and, naturally, he wants to stay there.
:17:40
What do you mean "naturally"?
:17:43
I mean, he is weak.
He is not strong like us.
:17:47
Paris has seduced him.
:17:50
And it also seems to have seduced
the men that went after him.
:17:54
They are weak fools.
:17:56
You are too kind to them.
:17:58
It seems to me that seduction
can only take place when one is willing.
:18:02
Yes.
:18:04
I can see that you would think that.
:18:07
- Have you ever been to Paris?
- No.
:18:10
I have never been
outside the Soviet Union.
:18:14
I have spent many years in Paris.
I got very close to the French people.
:18:19
In fact, they deported me three times.
:18:22
Now...
:18:23
about this assignment.
It is not very simple.
:18:27
To me, it is quite simple.
:18:29
A Soviet artist has betrayed his trust.
:18:32
He must be brought back here
with no adverse publicity, at once.
:18:35
Thus, I will leave at once.
:18:37
Comrade Yoschenko!
:18:40
Maybe I should send someone
along with you.
:18:46
Comrade Commissar...
:18:47
if you had looked at my credentials
a little less casually...
:18:51
you would have noticed
at the age of 16...
:18:53
I formally rejected
all bourgeois pleasure and indulgence...
:18:57
to become the head
of an anti-aircraft gun crew.
:18:59
At 18, I became the captain
of a woman's tank corps.
