00:04:07 Hello. Mr. Baturin.
00:06:08 I'm surprised with you, professor.
00:08:25 Yes, doctor.
00:10:28 I need money right away,
00:12:46 a strange way to celebrate our new year's.
00:15:34 back to the hospital with that Grady on a stretcher.
00:18:11 But I am changing the orders.
00:20:15 Oh, fine. But don't miss.
00:23:49 They always said he was a tough guy.
00:26:32 How long do you suppose you could last if you were
00:28:43 Feeling better?
00:30:41 - No. - Well, we think you do.
00:33:48 I should see him.
00:35:58 If I do you let me be boss?
00:38:07 Oh, in a business way. Nice chap.
00:40:34 - You're first. - Yes.
00:42:51 Exactly.
00:44:53 You know? I'm beginning to think that maybe Baturin was right about you, Gordon.
00:46:42 I'd suggest that he go away for a long rest...
00:49:01 What do you mean?
00:51:03 I wish you wouldn't go.
00:53:25 - Let him talk. - You just listen.
