[after Kaganovich, Mikoyan and Bulganin arrive]

Comrades, now that we're quorate, I propose we call a doctor.

All the best doctors are in the Gulag or dead.

Yes, yes because they tried to kill the boss!

So any doctor still in Moscow is not a good doctor.

What are peoples' thoughts on getting a...bad doctor?

Anastas Mikoyan

What the **** are you talking about, that's mad! What if he recovers and finds out?

Well, if he recovers, then we got a good doctor. If he doesn't recover then we didn't, but he won't know.

[the Committee lift Stalin's unconscious body]

He's heavier than I thought he'd be.

Do you think Stalin's too heavy?

No! It's a compliment... gold is heavy!

Anastas Mikoyan

Well, you'd know. You've looted enough of it, you saucy little pirate!

[Beria is hauled away to a lavatory to hide him from potential rescue by the NKVD]

I have been picturing this moment every day for the last three decades.

[handcuffed to a pipe]

Is this magisterial enough for you all? This charade? This is a lavatory!

Anastas Mikoyan

Well, you should feel at home then, shouldn't you, you little coil of shit?

[looking at Malenkov's portrait on the wall]

**** me, Georgy's eyes really do follow you around the crapper. It's weird.

Why'd they hang a picture of my grandmother in here? [laughs]

[...]

Ho-how long until the Army gets here? We're in complete limbo now!

Not long. We have to wait for the NKVD to leave the Kremlin.

[ducking into a bathroom stall]

In that case, if nobody objects, I'm going to spend a kopeck. It's the excitement, I think...
