"One Chino's way of saying 'I needed a fuck'." "They shot him, not for raping an old hag, but for leaving his post." "If every 'wannee fuckee' left his post, we'd have lost the Revolution long ago." "Don't you understand?" "The Red Army is supposed to free the oppressed masses, not to gang rape them." "What oppressed masses?" "They're not doing the landlady?" "No, the milkmaid." "A proletarian?" "Motherfuckers." "Brave lads." "Eager to fuck, reluctant to fess up?" "You don't recognize anyone?" "How?" "I had the skirt over my face." "Who went first?" "Who?" "You?" "No, comrade Commissioner."

"Are you satisfied?" "It doesn't make a difference." "No one will marry a dishonored girl." "Not even a widower or a cripple." "So that's how you see it?" "Ivanov." "Yes, comrade?" "If you marry her, I won't shoot you." "I'd rather be shot." "Why's that?" "They'll kill me with laughter." "Will you?" "He made his choice." "Comrade Dzerzhinsky used to say that the ringleader... must be eliminated." "Anyone who's first at anything may be a threat to the Revolution." "That's why we execute the officers." "An army without commanders is not an army." "And a nation without leaders is not a nation." "Right?" "Good evening, Alexandra." "You do recognize me?" "What brings you here?" "I take it you've already heard the news... about your husband's treason." "I'm so sorry." "Treason?" "What do you mean?" "So you didn't know?" "He has joined the Bolsheviks." "He's alive?" "He survived?" "He did, which is most unfortunate." "You don't seem to appreciate the gravity of the situation." "Should his treason be publicized, you're likely to be fired and interned." "How so?" "Unless... a person of irrefutable reputation... vouches for your innocence." "A person like yourself?" "At your service." "Why would you do that?" "Let's say I have a weakness for you." "Build up your strength with vitamins." "Good night." "Listen to me, doll." "Are you really so eager to be interned?" "To be raped with a toilet brush three times a day?" "Think it over." "You'll find my card in the bouquet." "Our Tukhachevsky's a pure military genius." "The Poles think that the track width difference... makes it harder to supply provisions and ammunition."

"I'm joining my people." "You?" "A communist?" "You've cured me." "Once for all." "You bastard." "It's empty." "I counted the shots." "Sofia, give me the pistol." "Quick." "What...?" "You bitch."

"Get up." "Faster." "Don't shoot, you'll ruin the uniform." "Great shoes." "Let's take them." "Take off your shoes." "Kill them." "Bravo, Mister Lancer." "But one man in a field is no warrior." "The first bullet that hit." "The first bullet that hit wounded my horse's leg." "And the second bullet." "And the second bullet." "And the second bullet hit... me in the heart." "What made you, Cossacks, come over to our side?" "What do you gain shooting your own people... for Poland's sake?" "This is not about Poland." "You are fighting for Poland." "But if the Bolsheviks defeat you, we'll lose our freedom as well." "Who did you leave at home?" "My wife." "Buddy..." "You have a lot to fight for." "And al I that's left for me... is my revenge." "Don't you have anything stronger?" "I'll take a look." "Would you care to dance?" "Can't we just get on with it?" "Well then... get undressed." "What the fuck...?" "'What the fuck'?" "There are ladies present." "Jesus..." "The nose." "All right, little bug, some champagne and some rectified spirit." "Or 'the flames of Moscow' as the Russians put it." "Ladies' health." "Bottoms up." "Bottoms up." "Who are you?" "A Bolshevik, a real one." "Please, back off." "Get back." "What's going on?" "A Bolshevik." "You." "Hands up." "There." "Our dear captain... has been demoted and sent to the front." "Victory." "At war, if you flee, you're wrong." "You were defeated in all Russia, too." "Not all of us and not everywhere." "As they say, a forest will always grow back." "They can't slay us all, and we will keep slaying them." "Fuck me..." "I had no idea." "Careful." "Careful." "People of Poznan are deeply concerned... by the developments at the front." "They can't understand, and suspect treason." "And it seeks treason right here." "All men to the trenches." "All men to the trenches." "All men, join the army." "Aren't you ashamed?" "Draft dodgers, break your tethers, stop growing yellow feathers." "Draft dodgers." "Skulking rats." "What the devil is that?" "Volunteers joining the army." "Women?" "Gentlemen, we're saved." "The Bolsheviks will just run for their lives." "Gentlemen?" "How can we help you, madam?" "We're raising money for bandages." "Will you support the cause?" "Of course." "Gentlemen, this is our duty." "Thank you so much." "Ola." "Good morning." "How are things?" "You look worried." "We all worry nowadays." "One has to act, sweetie." "Act." "I'm on my last legs, but I can't be idle when our soldiers suffer at the front." "So I devote myself." "To what?" "To charity." "Day in, day out." "A raffle, a charity ball to send our soldiers some candy." "Wonderful." "I admire patriotism, but that is going overboard." "Don't you agree?" "A woman is destined to be a woman." "You're right." "Stop." "Now you look for your people, and I'll look for mine." "Good luck, Pole." "It's time to split." "God willing, we'll meet again." "Follow me." "No one will be as dear to me as you." "Only you." "No one's kisses will be so sweet as yours." "None but yours." "Your heart is so kind and sweet." "It can calm and comfort mine." "And my love is once and for all for you." "Only you." "Faster, boys, faster." "Positions." "Nice, isn't it?" "Very." "Gun-layer, move over." "Attention." "Get into shooting position." "You don't know how?" "I'll demonstrate." "On your knee..." "hands on the grip." "Once more." "Attention." "Shooting position." "It's like shooting a rifle." "Rear sight... bead." "If it jams, flip it open, remove the case." "Close the flap, reload twice, and..." "Fire at will." "That's was lousy." "One more time." "Aim... fire." "That's it." "Better." "Did you see that?" "That's the way." "Next." "And you?" "Cavalry, please." "It's for grownups only, sonny." "But I..." "I'm eightee..." "seventee..." "I'm sixteen already." "Off you go, or I'll whoop your ass." "Next." "Look here, Mister." "Says I was born in 1904." "Black on white." "Where?" "There's a blot." "That's not my problem." "You have it there, black on white." "You'll be black and blue." "All right." "Sign the crafty one up." "Next." "All right, youngsters, medical battalion." "Next." "We're together." "Already had your whiff of gun powder?" "It's good for sniffing, too?" "We'd like the radiotelegraph service." "Why the radiotelegraph?" "Because we know how to operate that crap." "Two years in Austrian signal corps." "It's not enough to fill in for casualties." "We have to breathe... new life into the ranks demoralized by the retreat." "You, General Haller, shall take command of the Volunteer Army." "Thank you, Marshall." "Everyone volunteers in towns and cities." "But the villagers are reluctant." "They seem indifferent to the Bolshevik invasion." "It will change soon." "Marshall, the Prime Minister." "Excuse me, General." "Limiting the Polish army to 50 thousand men?" "Surrendering surplus arms and a corridor to East Prussia?" "Pulling our troops back west of the Bug River?" "How could you, you, the Polish Prime Minister, accept such conditions of the armistice with the Soviets?" "It makes us completely dependent on Russia." "Our army is not effective." "We shall win..." "if we believe in victory." "We will be defeated if we lose that faith." "You have overstepped your authority." "I'll be awaiting your resignation." "I had no choice." "I have nothing else to say to you." "Wieniawa." "Locate Mr. Witos... and fetch him here." "Mister Chairman." "What is it?" "The Head of State is asking you to come to Warsaw." "I entrust you, as the widely respected peasant leader, with the task of creating the Government of National Unity." "I agree." "On one condition." "Yes?" "That I shall be able to return home at harvest time." "Oh well..." "I have no choice, but to accept." "How do you intend to start governing?" "With an appeal to the Polish people." "Prime Minister Witos' appeal." "Prime Minister Witos' appeal." "Fellow peasants in all parts of Poland." "This is a crucial moment for us and for our country." "Therefore I do not ask you, but I demand:" "Let each one of you do their duty." "The battlefields, the front... await all those who are able to carry a weapon." "Dear peasant sisters, close your houses and protect your farmsteads against... deserters." "You are threatened with disgrace and destruction, and they sit at home avoiding military service."

"THEY FEED AND THEY PROTECT" "OUTSKIRTS OF WARSAW" "Dismount." "Dismount." "For Sofia Nikolayevna." "You can't pray for your own life." "That would incur the wrath of God." "Why's that?"

"Don't believe such nonsense." "Nothing's planned out." "RADZYMIN NEAR WARSAW" "Marynia, stop shaking or you'll spill everything." "But they're shooting." "See?" "They are all cowards." "And yet they call peasants the 'healthy tissue of society' as opposed to the sickly upper classes." "And it's the peasants that rot." "Infected with Bolshevism." "I'm rotting?" "Not you, peasants in general." "Scratch my back." "Mrs. Wigctawska nee Matachowska." "Ola Krynicka." "Pleasure." "Bolsheviks." "The gun, Marynia." "Jesus Christ." "Stop." "Don't." "Evacuate." "Evacuate." "Comrades, Delegates to the 2nd Congress of the Comintern." "Today, the invincible Red Army... captured the town of Radzymin, 15 kilometers away from Warsaw." "In a short time we shall liberate the capital of Poland... and then hasten to the rescue of the revolutionary proletariat... in Germany." "And we shall also... hasten to the rescue of the revolutionary proletariat in France." "Comrades, Delegates to the Comintern Congress." "We shall start it with the socialist federation of Europe... and end it with a worldwide revolution." "We've deciphered hundreds of Soviet codes." "But the bastards introduced a new one, impossible to crash." "Have you ever seen anything like it?" "Did you do the frequency analysis?" "Yes." "We've identified some cycles... but it doesn't add up." "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" "Caesar cipher." "With a double or triple shift." "What are you talking about?" "You've been referring... to the Russian alphabet." "Take the Latin one, with 26 letters." "And you two know Latin?" "Ad unum omnes." "'All to a man.'" "Marshall..." "I've asked not to disturb me." "The head of the Cipher Bureau." "They've cracked the Soviet radiotelegraph code... and read Tukhachevsky's orders." "Get him in." "Lieut Jan Kowalewski, sir." "Where's that order, son?" "You are aware of the significance of this wire?" "That is why I'm here, Marshall." "If this is confirmed, you'll be awarded the Virtuti Militari." "Yes, sir." "And if this is a hoax," "I will have you shot." "Yes, sir." "Gentlemen, being too weak for any effective defense, we have to strike." "Thanks to our radio intelligence we are almost certain... of two things." "Budyonny's Cavalry Army... is waiting near Lviv, while Tukhachevsky is redirecting his 4th Army... to the South-East to strike on Sikorski's troops." "If Budyonny makes a move, he'll have to take Zamosc first, and the town will be fiercely defended... by the Ukrainians led by General Bezruchko." "This will create a gap in the Bolshevik front." "Observe." "Budyonny here, the Mazyr Group here." "We shall launch a counteroffensive between those two armies." "From the Wieprz River." "I will take the command." "General Rozwadowski shall provide appropriate orders in writing." "A splendid plan." "But we have no reserves." "All units are engaged in combat." "And that is why... we have to disengage the best of our units... and strike from here, where no one is expecting us." "A great risk." "What if our troops yield to pressure and Warsaw falls... before you attack?" "You'll just have to stop the enemy at the outskirts of the city, until my troops regroup at their rear." "That's the only solution." "If you fear Waterloo, you'll never have Austerlitz." "Just one last effort... and Warsaw is ours." "Then Berlin." "And then the rest of Europe." "On to Warsaw." "Death to the Polish landowners." "Death to Polish capitalists." "Forward." "Onward to victory." "Hurray, comrades." "Hurray." "To Warsaw." "ON TO WARSAW." "Stop." "Or I'll shoot." "Load." "Fire." "Load." "I surrender." "Dead." "Take him away." "Next one." "Nurse." "Here." "Dress the wound." "Throw that away." "They say we're getting a thrashing everywhere." "There Bolsheviks are swarming, it's impossible to kill them all." "But they also say there'll be a miracle on the Assumption Day." "And the tables will turn." "Stop babbling, Marynia." "They'll take you for a thickhead." "But that's what people say." "Soldiers." "Who can carry a weapon, get back to the trenches." "To the trenches." "How are things in town?" "The Diplomatic Corps has left Warsaw." "And the Papal Nuncio?" "Monsignore Ratti has stayed." "That's good." "The Church knows what it's doing."

"That's not possible." "It's a set-up." "They want to lure us away from Warsaw... if I were him, I wouldn't take that risk." "However... they could force a wedge here." "That's their plan."
