Brankov, Commisar : Propaganda!
Ivanov : Da!
Steve Canfield : Of course, you three will have to stay here and supervise and help. Why you'll become national heroes.

Bibinski, Commisar : Propaganda!
Ivanov : Da Da-da-da-da!

Ivanov : Brankov and I feel the same way.
Brankov, Commisar : [nodding and pointing at Bibinski] Da, da, it's Bibinski's fault.
