Quotes — Did I really break his arm?— No... Just dislocated it...— And that guy, the one who was yelling, who was he?— The director...— And what was that song?— "Wings"... by Nautilus... — What's your name?— Hoffman.— What are you, a Jew?— German.— Ah. I'm just not wild about Jews...— And Germans?— Germans are fine.— What's the difference? — Why are you bothering me? — Pay the fine.— Brother... don't kill, brother! Take the money, take it all! Listen, don't kill, brother! Here!— You're not my brother, you black-assed bastard. How much is the fine?— Seven— (counts out the bills, throws the wallet on the floor) — Run. — Mother wrote you were in the war?— Nah, I sat it out at HQ. I was a clerk.— Know how to shoot?— They took me to the shooting range... — You're smart, German... Tell me - what do we live for?— Well, everyone decides for himself. There's this saying, "what is good for the Russian is death for the German". I live to disprove it. — You did a good thing, brother. You helped me out. And you helped people. Now only Russians will trade there. — And Germans?— What Germans?— Well, Germans!— Why Germans? — What are they singing about? — What the hell do you care? They're great! — I don't like it. — This asshole gets off on Nautilus. — Your American music is crap.— Musique? Ah, la musique, oui, très bien, excellente.— Why are you arguing? I'm telling you, your music is crap, and you argue.— Musique!— Yeah, you too... Soon, your America will be finished. We'll show you hell... Got it?— Why are you bothering him, he's French! Let's go!— What's the difference? — What's your name?— Stepan...— Don't worry, Stepan, we won't touch you. Just sit quietly and don't move... What do you do for work?— Director. On Radio One.— Oh, director? I saw one director... He, you know... shot music videos...— They're all faggots!— No one will lay a finger on you here, I tell you. You sit quietly, we'll wait for one comrade, talk to him, and let you go right away. — Old man, sell me your gun.— A million!— Bring it.— Heh... Money in advance... Ho! Dollars! — Well, brother? How are we gonna split the woman?— You're not my brother! — You said that the city is a force, but everyone is weak here.— The city is an evil force. The strong come and become weak. The city takes away strength. And now you're lost... It's a Nautilus concert - anniversary... very rare. I got it! There's Shevchuk, Kinchev, Nastya... EVERYBODY! Assholes! They slipped me a bootleg! I don't really like directors... Well, brother? Goodbye! God willing, we'll see each other again... Weapons on the floor, hands behind your head, everyone lie face down on the floor! You broke their guard's arm and almost knocked out his eye. If you hadn't been sober, I would have put you away. Hmm, the city!.. The city is a terrible force. And the bigger the city, the stronger it is. It sucks you in. Only the strong can… get out. Not Leningrad - Petersburg. Piter! Beautiful city, but provincial. You should go to Moscow, all the power is in Moscow. I'll clean up a bit here, and then to Moscow. It wasn't the Tatar. He was young. Did everything great. Professional. The Chechen is pushing up daisies, and this one ran away. Got on a tram, yellow. And left. I shot him, the bastard. Son of a bitch killed Shisha... — Where's your old travelling companion?— Jumped off, corner of Sredniy and Eighteenth.— That's a long way...— Yeah.— Why didn't you call the police?— He's a good shot!— Well, I'll give you that... — Your mom?— No.— Oh well, bye. If something's wrong, I'll shoot you in the eye, bitch! — W-well, I'll go then?— Don't be a stranger... Ehh, if only I'd met you in 1943 in Kursk. If you're after money, tough luck. I didn't take it. — Your player's cool, but you're dressed like a sucker. Got any acid? Or dough? Got any dough?— No. Cast Sergei Bodrov Jr. - Danila Bagrov Viktor Sukhorukov - Viktor Bagrov Svetlana Pismichenko - Sveta Yuri Kuznetsov - "German" Hoffman Mariya Zhukova – Kat Vyacheslav Butusov - Himself Irina Rakshina - Zinka Sergei Murzin - Roundhead Anatoli Zhuravlyov - Nervous Bandit Igor Shibanov - Policeman Andrey Fyodortsov - Stepan Sergei Debizhev - Himself See also Brother 2 External links Category:1997 films Category:Crime films Category:Russian films Category:Foreign language films
