Vereschagin : [grief-laden after Abdulla killed Petrukha; climbs onboard a small trawler filled up with the loot pillaged by Abdulla and his pack] Look, Abdulla... Ain't you got too much merchandise? I take it all was duty-free?
Abdulla : [at shore] But there is nobody in the Customs office! Would you like it - we can pay in gold?
Vereschagin : You do know me, Abdulla: I don't accept graft - it is what is done to the Great State that insults me.
Abdulla : [to one of his accomplices] Aristarkh, negotiate with the Customs!
[Aristarkh and a few bandits start out menacingly toward the trawler and enter water to swim to it]

Vereschagin : [from the distance] Long time no see, Abdulla!
Abdulla : Long time...
Vereschagin : Still on the road? Still shooting?
Abdulla : Grown old, turned lazy. But remember me as I used to be?
Vereschagin : Yeah, there've been times...
[nodds toward a huge crude-oil gasholder which surface the bandits are covering with oil carried in buckets]
Vereschagin : But what is that your men wanna do, not to set something on fire?
Abdulla : Well, some dude got in and ain't wanna leave.
Vereschagin : [approaches closely to the side of the gasholder and talks through the wall to Sukhov who is hiding inside with surviving Abdulla's wives] Feodor, is Petrukha inside with you?
Sukhov : [from inside, plainly] Petrukha's been killed, Pavel Artem'ich... Stabbed by Abdulla.
Abdulla : [to Pavel Vereschagin who wanders away grief-laden] Off you go, off you go! A good house, a good wife - what else does man need to enter old age?

Sayid : [Sayid, chasing back the last unkilled of three unidentified bandits who attacked him, over the next dune bumps into the whole pack lead by Abdulla himself]
Abdulla : [sincerely friendly and welcomingly] Why did you kill my men, Sayid? I sent them to tell you not to seek Dzhavdet in Dry Creek - he's not there. Come back to Pedjent! Your father was a friend of my father's! A journey is easier if you meet a good companion traveler!
