"Lyusik, this is not nonsense." "Lyudmila, tell me, have you thought about, how many children you would have?" "How many boys?" "And what is the most important thing for you in your husband?" "If he earns good money?" "If he loves you dearly?" "Father, mother, don't tire our guest." "No, no, this is interesting." "I..." "I haven't thought about all this." "We have baked fish coming up!"

"USA, White House, 1942" "Currently the Soviet Union fights with Fascism alone." "But the fascist aggression is the problem of the Worlde." "And you are not aggressor?" "!" "Then explain Finland and now the Polish occupation!" "The increase of prison camps in the Soviet Union." "You are even fighting against your own people!" "You have not seen how we lived before." "And you have no right..." "I am a Russian!" "And miraculously left Russia in 1928." "I have every right to talk about it." "Gentlemen!" "Do...do sit down." "My apologies, but the press conference is now over." "Thank you for all your questions." "Lyudmila, your mistake is that you looked for discussion in to the direction you need." "Always begin knowing precisely what you are going to say and always be confident." "And confidence comes with a smile." "More softly...naturally." "The smile is your main weapon." "It's hard to talk like that..." "Of course this is hard." "It takes years of practice." "And you must hold that smile as long as you can." "Speak loudly, confidently."

"Went to the right, she changed positions." "Help me." "Pavlichenko, come here!" "Pavlichenko, who authorized you to leave your position?" "Can we talk about this later?" "******." "Danke dir. (German:" "Thank you)" "That's it..." "Come on!" "Get up!" "What are you doing, fool!" "?" "What?" "You showed me yesterday how to kill three with one shot." "If it were not you, I would have shot my 73rd!" "They could kill you!" "And you too." "Wait." "Do you want to be tried by a court-martial for your excesses?" "Get back to your position." "Understood." "Comrade captain, at the right side of the forest next to the shell crater." "Is wounded good for account?" "Write down on more for me." "Calm down, you blockhead." "Stop!" "It hurts." "Today I saved two." "That would make it my 20th." "No, my 21st." "Blow on it." "21st?" "I shot 73 Germans." "Could have been more, had it not been for Makarov." "Give me permission to land here." "Permission is given!" "Hello, Lyuda." "I missed you so much!" "Hello, captain." "Why do you sew it yourself?" "You have women subordinates at your disposal, ask them." "I love to sew, it calms me."

"I wanted for a long time to be alone with you." "Why?" "That's enough!" "Don't do it!" "I do not love you." "We are grown people." "War and death is everywhere." "Tomorrow we may be killed." "It hurts!" "Let me go!" "My groin..." "Thanks, but there is no need to save me so often." "You could tell me right away, you have a man." "I told you." "Forgive me." "Why?" "I have promised." "To whom?" "To myself." "Let me help you." "This you can do." "I can't." "Is it because of your wife?" "Because of the war." "If you were killed..." "You are a coward, comrade captain." "We have to believe we are not going to be killed." "Lyuda!" "Can you hear me?" "Breathe!" "Just a little more." "Come on!" "Can you hear me?" "Quiet." "I managed to take you out." "Makar, Makar..." "I love you." "Quiet, quiet now." "Go to sleep." "Everything will be fine now." "Boris Larionovich, Polyakov has a fever and delirium again." "Well...change his bandage." "What bandage, Boris Larionovich?" "Oh, excuse me." "Doctor!" "Doctor." "I have a personal request." "This fighter Pavlichenko is very valuable and important." "Take good care of her." "We take care of all patients." "She is not 'all'." "She's special..." "I know she is special!" "I love her too." "And I've loved her for a long time.." "So I can be rest assured, you will take good care of her." "She later will decide herself, who she is going to stay with." "Too bad you haven't taken care of her." "The White House, Washington D.C, 1942" "This needs to be poured into the pan for the Borscht." "Borscht..." "No, soft and more naturally." "Borscht..." "Borscht." "In the Soviet Union, women do this." "In America women do this!" "What a day!" "It's alright!" "It's only a frying pan." "Sorry..." "What happened?" "I was covered...in earth five minutes and nearly died." "I can only imagine... how terrible it has been." "Sevastopol Evacuation, Autumn 1941" "Take it." "Eat." "Lyuda, I wanted to ask you..." "Dear, do not be afraid." "Fear not, everything will be fine." "Grisha is flying over us." "There, look!" "He flies above!" "Fear not, drink." "Soon you will see Makar." "Do not be afraid." "How are you?" "I will be back soon." " Get up." " I have to You are not a soldier." "Get up, you have a disability." "You won't get to the front anymore." "You do not understand, I have to."

"Here, come with me." "Let's drink some tea." "What happened to your arm?" "She's with me." "Wait here a moment." "We have received an order from headquarters to protect the city!" "At any cost." "This is General Petrov." "He arrived from the first line of defense." "And he likely has suggestions." "Please, General." "The first line of defense is now in 13 km from Sevastopol." "Thus the city is vulnerable to German artillery." "We cannot drive the enemy back." "Even if we could, the defense line would stretch, and we will not be able to defend it." "How to protect the city." "One hit with 305mm linkorov caliber shrapnel covers the area with width of 250 meters and a length of 1 km." "Only on the battleship 'Paris Commune' alone are 12 guns of this type." "They can crush the artillery of enemy." "But as far as I know, your order dispatched almost all the ships to the Caucasus." "I deem it necessary to bring the ships back immediately!" "My task is to protect the fleet." "And in this situation I have no right..." "Our common task is to protect Sevastopol!"
