Quotes 

• Bukhanovsky : [to Burakov and Fetisov]  Together you make a wonderful person.

• Bukhanovsky : It is embarrassing to see grown men run from their responsibilities. It is like seeing your parents drunk for the first time. They are afraid. To be a psychiatrist in this country is to be an expert on paranoia... whether you meant to be or not.

  Burakov : Why aren't you afraid?

  Bukhanovsky : I'm sorry, do I look like a man of courage to you? I've always been interested in abnormal psychology, which is a dangerous thing in the Soviet state.

• Burakov : [to Bukhanovsky, as Fetisov shakes the doctor's hand]  He'd say something witty but he's overcome with emotion right now.

  Bukhanovsky : Thank you both. And may I say that, together, you make a wonderful person.

• Bukhanovsky : To be a psychiatrist in this country is to be an expert on paranoia, whether you meant to be or not.
