On that day, I realized that my destiny was to provide people with another necessities of life. I have wanted to stay away from violence all my life, but in fact, I should be closer to it. This is human nature. Isn’t being a dog and being a person the same concept? Maybe you were born a dog? In fact, we are two-legged dogs. I am a death merchant who does everything, except for the Salvation Army, I sell it regardless of the army. I never sold it to Bin Laden, not because of ethical issues, but because his cheques always bounced back then. The second rule of gun smuggling is to make sure that you can receive money every time. You can't force someone to fall in love with you, but at least you can create opportunities. This is the fate of falling in love with the lover in the dream, the dream will always wake up. ——I don’t believe you are going back to sell Pepsi. Is this the way you hope to be remembered by posterity? ——I don’t want to keep my name in history at all. If that’s the case, it means I’m dead. If you don't sell weapons to attack your own country, you are not an international arms dealer. Since the end of the Cold War, AK47 has become the main export goods of the Soviet Union, followed by vodka, caviar, and suicidal poets. One thing I can be sure of is that no one wants to line up to buy their car. ——Ask this white man and he will know the answer. ——Sir, will my hands grow back? ——This is not a question of money. --what is that? ——I am good at this. You can fight many enemies and still survive, but if you fight yourself, you will always lose. People always say: "If good people stand by and watch, evil will win." This sentence should be: "Evil always wins." There are two tragic things in life. One is that you can't get what you want. The other is that you get what you want.

    Vitaly Orlov: What do you need me for all of a sudden?

    Yuri Orlov: Everything's fucked up more than usual. I can't trust anybody, I need you to watch my back

  • Yuri Orlov: [Narrating] I was so caught up in the deal, I never realized what was going on in Vitaly's head. Come to think about it, maybe I never really understood what was going on inside his head. One thing I do understand for certain is that Vitaly broke the cardinal rule of gun running: never pick up a gun and join the customers. Only half the guns and ammunition was gone so I was still entitled to half the diamonds ,if I took them I was lost, if I left them I was still lost. The massacre played out exactly how Vitaly predicted but then half a dozen massacres happened Sierra Leone that week you can't stop them all, in my experience you can't stop any of them
