Dominika Egorova: [classical music playing] I danced my first solo to this. It's Grieg. I was so nervous... the night before, I couldn't sleep. And then I played this music in my room, and after I fell asleep, I dreamed that... the music was color, and I could paint all the audience's faces with my hands.
Dominika Egorova: You knew what would happen once I got into that room, didn't you?
Vanya Egorov: You wouldn't have gone if I told you what had to happen.
Dominika Egorova: I would have had a choice!
Vanya Egorov: You know what to do. You came to me. That was your choice.
Dominika
Egorova: You're my uncle...!
Vanya Egorov: I would never have let him hurt you.
Dominika Egorova: He was inside me!
[sobs:]
Dominika Egorova: I don't want to die!
Vanya Egorov: You don't have to. There's another life waiting for you if you want it. You have potential, great potential.
Now, you did well to get him alone. What you said in that bar was exactly right, because you told him exactly what he needed to hear. There is a program... that can teach you what you need to know. The training is very hard. Only a few make it. But you know how to survive. That's why I chose you. Unless if I'm wrong. Perhaps you don't like my line of work. Perhaps you disapprove. In that case... .
your future will be out of my hands. I'm sorry.
Matron: [to assembled class] From this day forward, you will become Sparrows. Weapons in a global struggle for power. You have been selected because of your beauty, because of your strength. And, in some cases, because of your vulnerability.
[clearly meaning Anya]
Matron: Katya, Viktor, come here please.
[Dominika and Viktor obliges]
Matron: Here we deal in psychological manipulation. You'll be trained to determine a target's weakness, to exploit that weakness through seduction, and to extract information.
[to Dominika and Victor:]
Matron: Take off your clothes.
[Viktor starts undressing, but Dominika doesn't react]
Matron: Your body belongs to the
State. Since your birth, the State nourished it. Now the State asks something in return.
[still Dominika hesitates]
Matron: You must learn to sacrifice for a higher purpose... To push yourself beyond all limitations. Forget the simple morality with which you were raised. Or was it pride? In my experience, the proud are the first to fall. Viktor, put on your clothes.
