Ethel: We both think that this would be something you both would be interested in doing.

David: What is it?

Julius: I have been a spy for the NKVD for a while now and have been working under Alexander Feklisov. I had mentioned you to him and that you were also a part of the American Communist Party. I had also mentioned that you were working on the Manhattan Project.

David: OK, I like where this is going

Julius: The other day Alexander Fekislov suggested that I consider recruiting you saying: They are young, intelligent, capable, and politically developed people, strongly believing in the cause of communism and wishing to do their best to help our country as much as possible. They are undoubtedly devoted to us, and I have decided to offer you the opportunity.

David: I most certainly will be glad to be a part of the community project that you and your friends have in mind. But, you said they but I'm only one person.

Ethel: That's the other offer. Julius also recommended Ruth to his NKVD superiors for her apartment as a safe house for photography.

David: She will also definitely take part.
