"You should always have a new tactic against the enemy." "Never the same rifle." "Each rifle has a character." "You need to understand and handle the rifle as you would your wife." "Do you have a wife, Captain?" "No, I do not." "I had a wife, once." "At first I was afraid to marry." "It was during the battle in Finland, I could not believe a person would long for me so much."

"Lyudmila, your mistake is that you should look at the discussion in the direction you need." "Always begin, knowing precisely what you are going to say and always be confident." "And obviously come with a smile." "More softly...naturally." "The smile is your main weapon." "It's hard, to talk like that..." "Of course it is hard." "It takes years of practice." "And you must hold that smile, long as you can." "Speak loudly, confidently." "And always look the person directly in the eye." "Learn to relax..." "Captain, get three more."

"Come on!" "Pavlichenko come with me!" "Pavlichenko, who ordered you to leave your position?" "Could you talk about this later?" "That's for your girlfriend." "Where are the tanks?" "Moving up right..." "Come on!" "What are you doing?" "What?" "The Captain, showed me how to kill three at a time." "I just shot my 73rd!" "They could also kill you!" "And you too." "Wait here." "Do you want to stand before a military tribunal?" "Get back to your position." "Understood." "Captain, they're on the way from the slope on the pitfalls." "Is too early to count." "Send me a back-up." "Get this through your head, no back-up!" "Stop!" "It hurts." "Today I shot 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." "I was instructed to land here." "They did?" "!" "Hello, Lyuda." "Did you miss me?" "Hello, Captain." "Why sew it yourself?"

"It hurts!" "Let me go!" "My groin..." "Thanks, but it's slick too often to save me." "You never told me you had a second admirer!" "I did tell you." "Forgive me." "Why?" "Got myself involved in that situation." "Why?" "For you." "Let me help you." "I can do it myself." "You cannot." "Is it because of your wife?" "Because of the war." "If they kill you..." "You are a coward, Captain." "You have to believe they will not kill us." "Lyuda!" "Can you hear me?" "Breathe!" "Just a little more." "Come on!" "Can you hear me?" "Quiet, I have succeeded."

"Let me buy you some tea." "What happened to your arm?" "Just a bruise." "Wait here." "We have received an order from headquarters to protect the city!" "At any cost." "This is General Petrov." "They say, he created the first line of defense." "They are probably observations." "Welcome, General." "The first line of defense now, is 13 km from Sevastopol." "The city is vulnerable to German artillery." "We cannot drive the enemy back." "We could, but the line would stretch the defense vicinity, and we will not be able to to protect the city." "But shrapnel is the basic caliber from a battleship." "Hit the area within an area of width 250m and a length of 1km." "Only the battleship 'Paris Commune' could do that with 12 guns."
