Bartok: Uh, no. No, I'm not. I never have been. Although I hear he's quite gifted. A real talent. Head Cossack: [looks at the name on the flag; then to Bartok] Silence! Bartok: Alright, I'll just be quiet then. That's no problem for me to be quiet. I'll just shush it up. Head Cossack: [points to Bartok's flag with his sword] What is that? Bartok: [flies up to the flag and hides the letter "A" with red paint and replaces with an "E"] It's Bertok. Bertok the Magnificent. Uh, it's really quite different. I take my show in a whole nother direction. Head Cossack: You are coming with us.
