"My point is this. When you gave me this assignment, you told me I was
in the position of the German who engineered bringing Lenin up to
Petrograd to start the Bolsheviks rolling. Are you _sure_ that the

"Chief, this is the decision that has to be made in the next couple of
days. Just who do we want eliminated? Are you sure you don't want me to
tip off the KGB to this whole conspiracy?"
