2001 was on last night. There is a scene in the space station where Haywood is talking with some Russian scientists and then Haywood leaves. The Russians then start talking it their own language. Anyone know what it is they say?  
Thanks

[IMDb.com](http://IMDb.com) has several translations of that, in the Comments section for _2001: A Space Odyssey_. The gist of it is that the Russians remark about how uncommunicative Dr. Floyd has been about whatever’s happening on the Moon.
