To hell with him. Next.

Ambition: 300
Energy: 120.
Conscience: around 0.
Hello, Bob!
To Moscow: hotel, essay, report:
Slay, expose, unmask. Topic...
Topic?...
Oh! Fidel Castro is a disguised Chinese and grandson of Mao Zedong.
Idiot! The topic for Moscow!
The failure of seven-year plan?
If you manage, 5 thousand dollars for you.
Close that! It's causing a draught.
I packed my cassettes
And got a stock of ink,
So that I, in my newspaper,
Could throw shade on half the world!
I, Bobby Sketch, fire a shot with every sentence.
I, Bobby Sketch, have a tongue like pointed steel.
Stronger than any military base.
I'm an overseas reporter.
Reporting from Moscow.
Good morning, comrades!
Dear ladies and gentlemen, look to the left.
Before you stands that outstanding monument of Russian antiquity:
The famous Moscow Kremlin.
In the 14th century under Ivan Kalita walls of oak logs were built more than half a meter wide.
The stone Kremlin was built under Prince Dmitry Donskoy.
The foundation and the headers of the stone plinth walls were made of white stone.
St. Basil's Cathedral (formerly Prokrovsky Cathedral)
was built in the mid-16th century under Ivan IV, and is the greatest monument of national architecture.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, look to the right.
Here you see modern Moscow.
The city is still under construction and gets prettier every day.
[Bus operating without a conductor]
Extra! Extra! A scoop!
A big strike action.
Half of the Moscow transport system works without conductors.
Well done, Bob!
The strikers demand free trade...
...and cowboy movies.
Bring out a Special Edition!
"Strike in the Soviet Union"
Interesting...
Any chewing gum in here? [Asperine, castor oil, headache tablets, purgenum]
Ah, like that...
Here you are! The only thing I can offer you is this.
Thank you.
Bob Sketch reports: The Russians have nothing to chew on.
Post that message on the front pages of all newspapers!
Ai-yai-yai! In Moscow, there is no chewing gum.
Shut up, empty-headed tin can!
But of course, we need more solid data.
Tell Bob: I will double your reward.
We need conspicuous facts. Is that clear?
Understood.
Facts! We need facts! Data!
Understood! Here are the facts!!!
Attention, attention! Lotsastuff Corporation shows you the typical architecture of Moscow.
Here's Moscow's Cheryomushki - the South-West district of the capital.
To the left of this monumental building
you can spot some cranes, intended for the restoration of this building.
Muscovites believe that after careful painting, this house will stand for another hundred years.
Good heavens!
Oh... Well, this is not at all interesting and nobody wants it.
Let's instead have a peek into the Siberian taiga!
We'll start flooding the reservoir! We'll start flooding the reservoir!
[Communism is the power of soviets plus the electrification of the country] [Today: concert by amateur artists]
[Song Luchinushka] [by a poet concrete worker]
In a small livingroom
a flame is lit
and a young spinster
is sitting at the window.
A young spinster
is sitting at the window.
Young, pretty,
with brown eyes.
Over her shoulders
lies a blond braid.
Over her shoulders...
Look at the site of the Bratsk hydroelectric power station construction.
In reality, Russia is illuminated by rushlight.
Bravo, Bob, bravo!
"Do not touch!"
Bob, you're in a high voltage area. Change focus to the virgin lands.
"Moscow - Tselinograd" [Kazakhstan]
Citizen tourist! We've arrived. This train goes no further. These are the virgin lands!
The virgin lands? Oh.
The virgin lands.
Where are those virgin lands? There is nothing here.
The virgin lands are a fiction, propaganda.
In fact, it's just empty space.
Who are these? What is happening there?
I've got it! I've got it! The virgin lands are a disguised military base.
I'm Bob Sketch. I am surrounded by Russian tanks!
These insidious Russians want to get rid of a dangerous witness.
Your correspondent, your reporter is dying...
He died.
Ah, he's been covered up. What a mediocrity!
Who's going to take pictures of the Russian secret weapons for me, now?!
Hello, hello! Your reporter is actually still alive. Hello!
Be quiet, you!
I have entered the Moscow Kremlin. I have found a colossal cannon
in the Kremlin itself. It is aimed at the west.
Balls? Oh, this is a nuclear weapon!
Ladies and gentlemen!
In front of you, you now see the so-called Tsar Cannon,
cast by the master Andrei Chokhov in 1586.
Its length is 5 meters 34 centimeters. The barrel's caliber is 89 centimeters.
Its weight is 40 tonnes. It has never fired.
However, if needed...
Idiot!
