Anna: Why are you doing this, why are you helping us?
Nikolai Luzhin: I can't become king if someone else already sits on the throne.
Nikolai Luzhin: Sentimental value? Ah. I heard of that.
Anna: My uncle has gone missing, since I told you about him translating the diary.
Nikolai Luzhin: Your uncle is fine, he is in Edinburgh, in a 5-Star Hotel. I was ordered to send him to Heaven with a bullet in his brain... instead I gave him a first class ticket to Scotland. He is old-school, he understands things... exile or death.
Kirill: [about Nikolai] He is no driver, he is the undertaker.
Nikolai Luzhin: Anger is dangerous. It makes people do stupid things.
Nikolai Luzhin: Kirill, we don't kill little babies.
Nikolai Luzhin: Forget any of this happened. Stay away from people like me.
Nikolai Luzhin: [referring to Soyka] Okay. Now I'm going to do his teeth and cut off his fingers. You might want to leave room.
[Nikolai motions for Azim to go away, and then puts out his cigarette on his tongue]
Nikolai Luzhin: Sometimes, if things are closed, you just, open them up.
Anna: So you've read the diary. How can you keep doing what you're doing?
Nikolai Luzhin: I'm just a driver.

Tatiana's Voice: My name is Tatiana. My father died in the mines in my village, so he was already buried when he died. We were all buried there. Buried under the soil of Russia. That is why I left, to find a better life.
[repeated line]
Nikolai Luzhin: I'm the driver.
Nikolai Luzhin: [to Kirilenko] Stay alive a little longer.
Azim: [referring to the bathhouse] Semyon recommends this place for business meetings, because you can see what tattoos a man has. Come on, we have a lot to cover. Let's cook.
[first lines]
Azim: He says "Christmas." So I say to him,
[in Russian]
Azim: "Should we go shopping?"
[English]
Azim: The kid's 16. He says, "But uncle, it's Christmas."
[after thawing Soyka's corpse]
Nikolai Luzhin: [to Azim] Are you finished cutting his hair?
[Nikolai takes out Soyka's frozen wallet]
Nikolai Luzhin: I thought you might want $6.50 from his pocket.
Semyon: It's always good to have someone who I can trust, to do simple tasks. In this business, sometimes the biggest danger comes from the most stupid things.
