SCENE: somewhere in Putin’s compound near Sochi.
PUTIN to OLIGARCH 1: “I tell you, he’ll do anything. Anything I say.”
OLIGARCH 1 to PUTIN: “Sure, he’s done a lot. But there have to be limits — you’ve got to be careful ...”
PUTIN to OLIGARCH 1: “No, I mean it. I’ll bet you a million dollars. If I say the word, he’ll do it.”
O1 to P: “How about … bulldoze the White House?”
P to O1: “Hand me the phone.”
(someone brought this to life in quaoar’s most recent Russian Stuff Blowing Up, IIRC).
