Lyudmilla Nikolayeva: She needs an operation.
Semiyon Kleiman: We will see to it. We help each other. I have many friends who will like you. Men I do business with. No. Don’t worry. I don’t expect you to do anything you don’t want to. Just talk to them. Listen to what they have to say and then we will send you home.” -McMafia
