• The General : Do you know how long it's been since a young woman invited me into her apartment?

  Tanja : I didn't invite you.

• The General : Quite a pair, aren't we? I can't keep a relationship, you're too scared to have one.

• The General : I'm not really here. At this very moment, I'm hidden in a mountain barracks. I'm skiing in northern Slovenia. I'm sunning myself on the Dalmatian Coast. I'm tending sheep on a Serbian mountaintop. I'm toasting with Putin in Kiev and in Moscow; friend of a friend swears he saw me. I'm everywhere and nowhere. I am myth.

  The General : [narrating]  I was always inclined to be an ordinary man.

  The General : [standing in the market berating the produce]  You're drowning them. You know that? By tomorrow, beauty will become shite. Aaah! You should give these away. Where is your shame? Eh? Veggie-killer.

• Tanja : [busts into the door holding a gun] 

  The General : Gentlemen, my maid.
