“Well, Tovarisch, we’ve survived another year.”

“Always the pessimist. I thought my positivity might have had an effect by now.”

“Although I expect my life to end on a daily basis, I still allow myself the luxury of making plans for the distant future. There was a time when I could not envisage reaching old age, and yet, thanks to you and your incessant optimism, I can almost see my grandchildren.”
“I can’t wait to meet them, Illya.”
