Gorky Park (1983)

Richard Griffiths: Anton

Quotes 

• Anton : He's a very big wheel.

  Natasha : They say he even had dinner with Brezhnev before he died.

  Anton : Well, perhaps the conversation would have been better if he'd have had dinner with Brezhnev *after* he'd died.

• Arkady Renko : I'm trying to save a life.

  Anton : Whose?

  Arkady Renko : Mine! I'm on a case that reeks of KGB involvement.

• Jack Osborne : The Ancient Greeks, as usual, understood the mechanics of power very well. Justice they said, Justice is in the interests of the strong. I've heard the same sentiment expressed in not-too-dissimilar terms in America. Those with the gold make the rules someone said.

  Iamskoy : Do you mean, in America, only those with money can be innocent?

  Jack Osborne : No. I mean in America, attorneys do very well for themselves.

  [Iamskoy chuckles] 

  Anton : Well, do you know what you're doing here when you engage a defence lawyer?

  Jack Osborne : Wasting money.

  [Iamskoy and Osborne chuckle] 

• Anton : What are we doing in the kitchen? You should be lying down.

  Arkady Renko : This is where you keep your French brandy.
