"Can't those people just settle down and enjoy the iron fist of democracy?"

Violet Klein,

"The thing you have to respect about Putin is that he doesn't send others to do his dirty work; he went out there, knocked those 200 people around, and arrested them himself."

Jonas VanDerHeusen,
Information Boot Attendant
"What can be said? They beat them with sticks. Then they drank together, and embraced, and laughed. They talked of sweet Natalya and her sister Yulia with her copper-red hair. They beat them again."
