Running Scared (2006)

Ivana Milicevic: Mila Yugorsky

Quotes 

• Anzor "Duke" Yugorsky : [to Oleg]  When I was growing up in Kishinov, we had no VHS, no DVD back then. I remember... I did a job for this friend of my father. I pickpocketed a key off this apparatchik. The man gave me as a reward this children's projector. It came with three films: Speedy Gonzalez, Tarzan of the Apes, and John Wayne in The Cowboys. I watched that thing... a thousand times.

  Mila Yugorsky : [offering a plate of pizza]  Anzor, it's getting cold.

  [Anzor puts his cigarette ash on the food] 

  Anzor "Duke" Yugorsky : I was nine years old. I didn't know how long movies were supposed to be. My version of The Cowboys, it was only ten minutes long. No John Wayne getting shot. Because it was for kids, they left that part out. I didn't know this until I arrive in America and see it on TV for the first time. I hate it. I want my eight millimeter back. Because on that one, the Duke lives. Some things were better in the old place. Not too many. Some things.

• Anzor "Duke" Yugorsky : What is this?

  Mila Yugorsky : Wolfgang Puck. It's your favorite.

  Anzor "Duke" Yugorsky : It's thick crust, you damn blyad.

• Mila Yugorsky : I was prostitute in Moscow. Yugorsky Escort Service offered to bring girls over with promise of big bucks. We would owe $50,000, you know, pay back through work. I take offer, not tell them I'm pregnant. When they find out, they insist I have an abortion. I told them no. They sent Anzor to kill me. Anzor's not a killer. He's not hard man like big Yugorsky. He thinks... he thinks he's, you know, John Wayne. Must do right thing. He goes against his uncle. He tells big man Yugorsky he will pay off my debt. His uncle refuses, tells him he will send others to kill me to set example. So Anzor make me wife. Big man Yugorsky can't kill his nephew's wife. But he tells Anzor to leave Little Odessa. He's no longer working for Yugorsky family.
