- Zachary Welch: Joan I'm not an educated man but I do understand a few basic facts.
- Stalin: Yuri, have you been smoking?
- Yuri Nikolayev: No, Comrade Secretary.

- Joan Fraser: Yes.
- David Hoyle: What did you do to him?

- Joan Fraser: I think so.

- Police: [Joe trying to get himself arrested] Well, if it isn't public enemy number one? Have you been robbing banks again?
