will move mountains!
:46:04
We're speaking not about Moscow here
- the whole Russia,

:46:09
its future! The centre is here.
:46:11
Petersburg is nothing. Their pale
- faced work:

:46:17
there is no life there, no serious steps
being taken.

:46:22
l don't mean our tsar, of course.
:46:25
But all the rest are just goose
- fleshed necks

:46:28
in white collars.
:46:31
The centre is here,
:46:34
Russia's heart, liver and guts are
in Moscow.

:46:36
We'll give them a lavage,
adjust gastric processes.

:46:39
l'm anything but a clyster-pipe.
:46:43
Or, Mr. Mild Gentleman.
:46:45
We're limbs of the law, even worse
than a clyster-pipe,

:46:47
even worse than a nightman.
You know what we are?

:46:50
Protectors of things good, l presume.
:46:53
You've said a mouthful. Retrievers
of stolen things.

:46:55
For many a year our ancestors
:46:58
have been robbing their naive compatriots
:47:03
and amassing their loot.
:47:08
You and me guard this loot
:47:12
from the hungry and dirty ones
:47:15
yearning to squander it.
:47:21
All of them
:47:24
goose-flesh-necked ones understand nothing,
:47:27
stirring people up.
:47:33
They want freedom?
:47:36
They will stir up that freedom.
:47:38
When they see what comes onto the surface,
:47:42
they will cackle bloody murder.
:47:46
They will lick the boots,
:47:48
they will pray to anyone showing fangs.
:47:51
They will lick their anything.
:47:52
There will be no rightful ones or
wrongful ones then.

:47:59
And then hell will begin.
