Anna

Aren't you living a little above your ration?

I've saved two eggs and each of my friends is bringing his own. We'll manage.

Anna

It just goes to prove the theory of our State. If you stand alone it means a boiled egg, but if you're true to the collective spirit and stick together, you've got an omelet.

Anna
[about Ninotchka's underwear]

Some said it's what we all ought to wear. Others said it's like hanging foreign ideas on our clothesline. It undermines our whole cause... You know how it is today. All you have to do is wear a pair of silk stockings and they suspect you of counter-revolution.

I should hate to see our country endangered by my underwear.

That's how they live in the other world. Here, we dress to cover up our bodies, to keep warm.

Anna

And there?

Sometimes they're not completely covered, but they don't freeze.
