  • [has found Balkan in a castle with the readings and now confronts him]

    Boris Balkan: [nervous] Corso.

    Dean Corso: What were you expecting? An apparition?

    Boris Balkan: You're not wanted here, Mr Corso. Leave!

    Dean Corso: I'm the only apparition you'll see tonight.

    Boris Balkan: [calmly trying to get rid of Dean so he can have this moment all to himself] You'll find a check at my New York office. Payment in full.

  • Dean Corso: [pulls Liana's gun on him] Stand aside.

    Boris Balkan: I credited you with more finesse.

    Dean Corso: You heard me. Stand back!

    Boris Balkan: Put that away. It's not your style.

    [upon overpowering him and shoving him into a hole in the floor]

    Boris Balkan: It seems you found your proper niche at last... I like that.
