George Tobias: Igor Propotkin

Quotes 

• Igor Propotkin : All men are created free and equal, so it says in the books. Who am I equal to? Nobody. Throw away the books.

• Igor Propotkin : I am the victim of people who don't understand my accounts, just because I kept them in my own way. Everybody has different tastes in clothes - why can't I have different tastes in bookkeeping?

• [first lines] 

  Sam Pepper : It's your turn - you take a card.

  Igor Propotkin : This is not cards - this is torture. I could do better sitting in a rocking chair and knitting.
