Anna quotes from Eastern Promises (2007)

Anna

Have you ever met a girl named Tatiana?

Nikolai Luzhin

I meet lot of girls named Tatiana.

Anna

She was pregnant.

Nikolai Luzhin

Ah, in that case – no, I've never heard of her.

Anna

She died on my shift.

Nikolai Luzhin

I thought you did birth?

Anna

Sometimes birth and death go together. She came in with needle punches all over both arms. Probably a prostitute, at the age of fourteen. Do you think Semyon's son knew her?

Nikolai Luzhin

I am driver. I go left, I go right, I go straight ahead – that's it.

Anna

How did you get in here?

Semyon

There are always open doors, Anna Ivanovna.

Anna

So you've read the diary. How can you keep doing what you're doing?

Nikolai Luzhin

I'm just a driver.

Anna

My uncle has gone missing, since I told you about him translating the diary.

Nikolai Luzhin

Your uncle is fine, he is in Edinburgh, in a 5-Star Hotel. I was ordered to send him to Heaven with a bullet in his brain... instead I gave him a first class ticket to Scotland. He is old-school, he understands things... exile or death.

Anna

Why are you doing this, why are you helping us?

Nikolai Luzhin

How can I become king, if the king is still in place?
