• Dimitri Moisevitch : I want to play a game with you, Dr. Floyd.

  Dr. Heywood Floyd : I don't have time for games.

  Dimitri Moisevitch : This is a good game. It's called "The Truth." For two minutes, I will tell only the truth, and so will you.

  Dr. Heywood Floyd : Two minutes?

  Dimitri Moisevitch : Two minutes.

  Dr. Heywood Floyd : Make it a minute and a half.

  Dimitri Moisevitch : One minute and three quarters.

  Dr. Heywood Floyd : You start.

• Dr. Heywood Floyd : You just read that report? Took you this long to steal our secrets?

  Dimitri Moisevitch : How long does it take for your people to steal ours?

  Dr. Heywood Floyd : Same amount of time.

• Dimitri Moisevitch : Have you checked Discovery's orbit lately?

  Dr. Heywood Floyd : What?

  Dimitri Moisevitch : Have you checked the orbit?

  Dr. Heywood Floyd : What about it?

  Dimitri Moisevitch : Now it's getting chilly here. This is very bad for my asthma.

  Dr. Heywood Floyd : You know damn well we've been checking it!

  Dimitri Moisevitch : I have enjoyed our little chat, Dr. Floyd.

  [turns to walk away] 

  Dr. Heywood Floyd : What is it you're not telling me?

• Dimitri Moisevitch : Here we have our quandary: we are going to get there first, yet you have the knowledge to make the trip work.

  Dimitri Moisevitch : How much time do I have left?

  Dr. Heywood Floyd : You just bought yourself an extension.

• Dimitri Moisevitch : It doesn't take a smart man to appreciate the risk I'm taking by being here with you, Dr. Floyd, and you are a smart man. This is a very bad business in Central America. Ships, planes, buzzing around each other like angry hornets. Very bad.
