"Vadim kept his lips against Dan’s as he placed the pistol against the left shoulder, could feel the muscle, sensed the correct spot. Pulled the trigger."

nsnfjeejejeje

"You too, Russkie. Or as the Mudjas say ‘Allahu akhbar’, God is Great, and may he be with you."

"Fuck you, too"

"They hate everybody. Russian, Soviet, British. If you don’t do Allahu akhbar and aren’t blood-related, they’ll cut your throat"

"That smile, that wasn’t planned nor programmed and sure as hell didn’t belong into their little insane arrangement."

می‌دونم دن منم از وادیم متنفرم ولی...آره‌‌. متاسفانه بعضی وقت‌ها لبخند می‌زنه.

"I’m not strange. I’m so fucking normal I make the Kremlin seem like a space ship."

"There’s joke I heard. Goes like this: “Glorious Soviet leaders Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev are travelling by train. Suddenly, train grinds to halt. Stalin is first to try solve problem. He orders that engine driver be shot for sabotage and he deports co-driver to Siberia.
Train doesn’t move. Then it’s Khrushchev’s attempt. He brings co-driver back from Siberia and tells him, “You’ve been away for long time, but try to remember 276 which controls do what.” Engine driver can’t and train doesn’t move. Then, third, Brezhnev tries. He orders that all blinds be drawn across windows and that passengers start rocking back and forth in their seats—so train feels like moving."

"Hands shaking. Dan? But Dan never wore military gear. Dan blended in."

"Vadim asked the chaikhana owner whether he’d heard anything from the other foreigner, but there was nothing but a headshake, and something like “Allah be willing.”

Allah had nothing to do with it. From what Vadim knew, the radical Muslims stoned homosexuals."

“And by the way...it’s ‘homosexual’, not ‘homosexualist’, but I prefer ‘gay’.”

“Gay means joyful.” Vadim looked up. “Neither of us is that. Joyful."
