Jack Osborne:
[Osborne finished dressing sees the approaching Renko's reflection in the mirror]
Ah. Finished eating, are we?
Arkady Renko:
Yes, thank you. Um... I understand you import our wonderful Soviet sable into America, Mr Osborne.
Jack Osborne:
Well, you Soviets have the world monopoly on sable.
Arkady Renko:
I always wanted a sable hat.
Jack Osborne:
Well, a man of your status should possess one. Must we see what we can do?
Arkady Renko:
Oh, we Russians have long ago learned how to wait for things. I'm very patient. I watch and I think and I wait. It is my only virtue.
Jack Osborne:
But why wait? I'm always happy to accommodate my ah... particular Soviet friends.
Arkady Renko:
Patience has its own rewards.
Jack Osborne:
Do you want the hat or not?
[both force a smile and chuckle]

Jack Osborne:
Perhaps the chief investigator has some other reward in mind?
Arkady Renko:
Yes.
[pauses to walk to the other side of Osborne]

Arkady Renko:
Perhaps.
Jack Osborne:
You don't know?
Arkady Renko:
Not yet. First I have the hunch. Then, I begin to assemble reasons. Then I...
[protracted pause]

Jack Osborne:
Then, you...?
Arkady Renko:
Then I pounce.
Jack Osborne:
Oh, that's no way to catch a sable. They're far too cunning and far too fast. While you wait and you think, and you watch... your prey is gone.
[smiles]

Arkady Renko:
Oh, I don't think so.
Jack Osborne:
Good. Good! Meanwhile I have the hat and you don't.
