Gorky Park (1983)

Ian McDiarmid: Professor Andreev

Quotes 

• Arkady Renko : Too many people in our society disappear without trace.

  Professor Andreev : Oh. Why is that?

  Arkady Renko : They fall into a chasm.

  Professor Andreev : What sort of chasm?

  Arkady Renko : The one between what is said and what is done.

  Professor Andreev : [Renko is talking very loudly, and Andreev's lab technicians are listening]  You may not be long for this world, my fine imprudent fellow.

• Professor Andreev : Renko? How interesting.

  Arkady Renko : Why?

  Professor Andreev : Your father was General Renko. You don't look a bit like him. My God. Your zygomaticus has a completely different elasticity altogether. Promise me I can have your face when the breath has left your body. Hmmm?

• Professor Andreev : [Applying grub worms]  The way to do this is to imagine they are your loved one, these little creatures. Oh yes, we need them... and don't the ones you love, eat up your flesh?

• Professor Andreev : [after reconstructing the face of the dead woman from Gorky Park]  Goodbye, pretty lady.

• Professor Andreev : Hmm. Right. First thing: clean off the rest of the flesh. Hmm? Fetch me the grubworms.
