Others?

All I do is dig. Day and night I dig. For months all I do is dig. I nearly lose my mind from the digging. Then one night this one cocky american and a prison full of arrogant British aviators come wheelin’ through my tunnel. Who are these fucking guys? Most of them I’ve never laid eyes on. What are you doing in my tunnel? You know what? I’m glad you got caught. But I got away.

A good man ceased to be after being seduced by some old guy. What I told you was true, from a certain point of view.

The greatest fighter in the history of the Soviet Union travels to America to demonstrate the greatness of the Soviet athletic training program by battling the imperialist's greatest champion. After his glorious, resounding victory in the United States, the second-closest friend of the defeated boxer travels to Russia to try and salvage some measure of retribution for his dying country, and at the same time to try and indoctrinate the great people of the Soviet Union in the wicked, capitalist ways of the Americans.
