Col. Kontarsky Quotes in Firefox (1982)

Col. Kontarsky: The KGB has just arrested Boris Glazunov, at his flat. Who is in the truck with Upenskoy?

Customs Officer: [confused] Well, it should be Boris Glazunov.

Col. Kontarsky: Exactly! It *should* be Glazunov, *if* Upenskoy is making a delivery.

Customs Officer: Sir, the truck is definitely heading out of the city.

Col. Kontarsky: Well, this is most curious.

[beat]

Col. Kontarsky: Where is Upenskoy supposed to make his delivery?

Customs Officer: I don't know, but we can certainly find out.

Col. Kontarsky: No. Follow the car to the checkpoint. Priabin is bringing in the other Jew. Perhaps he can tell me something...

Priabin: [speaking of Mitchell Gant] Obviously, sir, he knows our planes, our aircraft, as well as anyone. He would be a good choice for sabotage or analysis of information. But, perhaps he intends a close inspection of the MiG-31!

Col. Kontarsky: [realizing Priabin is implying that Gant may steal the MiG-31] He *cannot* be here for *that*!

Priabin: [realizing he may be right] No sir. Surely not! He couldn't hope to get away with it!

Col. Kontarsky: Thank you, Dmitri, thank you. Well done.

[to his lieutenants]

Col. Kontarsky: Arrest Baronovich and the others now! And no one is to be let near the aircraft! No one! You understand?

[explosions rock the hangar, alarm bells sound]

Col. Kontarsky: [stunned] No!

[Kontarsky has arrived in the hanger, and spotted Gant in the cockpit of the MIG-31]

Col. Kontarsky: Doors. Close the doors!

[a pair of guards show Kontarsky a drawing of Gant in his disguise, and confirm Gant ordered an extra dog patrol]

Col. Kontarsky: [looking at the drawing] Wait - I have seen this man... and he confirmed those same orders to me!
