Iosef Tarasov: The Boogeyman"?

Iosef Tarasov: …Oh.

Viggo Tarasov: John is a man of focus. Commitment. Sheer will. Something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar… with a pencil. With a fuckin pencil. Suddenly one day he asked to leave. It was over a woman, of course. So I made a deal with him. I gave him an impossible task. A job no one could have pulled off. The bodies he buried that day... laid the foundation of what we are now. And then, my son, a few days after his wife died… you steal his car, and kill his fuckin dog?

Iosef Tarasov: Father, I can make this right!

Viggo Tarasov: Oh? How do you plan that?

Iosef Tarasov: By finishing what I started.

Viggo Tarasov: [turns to his advisor, Avi] What the… did he hear a fucking word I said?

Iosef Tarsov: [in Russian] Dad, I can do this! Please!

Viggo Tarasov: Iosef. Iosef! Listen. John will come for you, and you will do nothing, because you can do nothing. So get the fuck out of my sight!
