Here are a few extracts of their talks:
— It's a very nice plane, isn't it?
— Oh, yes, quite the way, is smoking allowed here?
— Why, certainly. It's a smoking compartment.
— Have you got a lighter by any chance, please? Mine does not seem to work.
— Yes, here you are.
— Thank you.
— You are welcome.
— Excuse me, what's the time please?
— It's a quarter past ten.
— It's Moscow time, isn't it?
— Oh yes. If you want London time, then... let me see... the difference is three hours.
— I see, it's now a quarter past seven, London time.
— By the way do you know when we arrive in London?
— The steward says the flight is three hours forty minutes long. What time will it be? Oh, about eleven o'clock, London time.
— Then I'll adjust my watch in London.
— So shall I.
— Excuse me, may I have your newspaper please.
— Yes, certainly. Here you are.
— Thank you... Excuse my curiosity, are you Russian?
