Sukhov : The Orient is a delicate matter...

[Abdulla shoots a full clip from his Mauser into the wall of the steel crude-oil gasholder where Sukhov is hiding inside along with surviving Abdulla'a wives; none of the bullets can pierce the thick wall]
Sukhov : Abdulla, save your ammo! Otherwise nothing might have been left to shoot yourself with!
-
Vereschagin : [from the distance] Long time no see, Abdulla!
Abdulla : Long time...
Vereschagin : Still on the road? Still shooting?
Abdulla : Grown old, turned lazy. But remember me as I used to be?
Vereschagin : Yeah, there've been times...
[nodds toward a huge crude-oil gasholder which surface the bandits are covering with oil carried in buckets]
Vereschagin : But what is that your men wanna do, not to set something on fire?
Abdulla : Well, some dude got in and ain't wanna leave.
Vereschagin : [approaches closely to the side of the gasholder and talks through the wall to Sukhov who is hiding inside with surviving Abdulla's wives] Feodor, is Petrukha inside with you?
Sukhov : [from inside, plainly] Petrukha's been killed, Pavel Artem'ich... Stabbed by Abdulla.
Abdulla : [to Pavel Vereschagin who wanders away grief-laden] Off you go, off you go! A good house, a good wife - what else does man need to enter old age?
-
A bandit : [while Sukhov took a swim in the sea, two bandits stole his weapons and now they are trying to take him prisoner] Well, do you want to be finished outright, or would you like to be tortured?
Sukhov : [unperturbed] I'd rather be tortured.
