Colonel Stok:
If there is a mistake, the KRAPOs will be shooting at me.
Harry Palmer:
That'll be nice: you'll find out what it's like to be an East German.
Colonel Stok:
You are insolent! Do you think this job, this loathsome Wall, is all I've done for Communism? Does Smolensk mean anything to you, or Stalingrad?
[chuckles]
Colonel Stok:
I look at your stupid face and I think you mean what you say. I like you, you're good at your job. You need only one thing.
Harry Palmer:
What's that?
Colonel Stok:
A reason for doing it.
Harry Palmer:
I get paid.
Colonel Stok:
£30 a week? Is it worth it - to be a tool of the generals? A tool for making trouble? Trouble makes arms, arms make money...
Harry Palmer:
When you get to England, we'll give you a soapbox. You sure you want to defect tomorrow?
Colonel Stok:
I told you, I'm still a good Communist. When a man leaves his wife, he remembers his wedding night. Communism was the love of my youth, and I've been faithful... until now. I was with Antonov-Ovseyenko at the storming of the Winter Palace in 1917. Do you know what that means in Russia?
Harry Palmer:
Yes, I think so. It means you're an expendable hero.
