Ostap Bender didn’t choke anyone with a pillow and did not hit on the head with a revolver. He knew four relatively honest ways of obtaining money.

When Bender’s new friend, Shura Balaganov, said that he knew an underground millionaire named Koreiko, Bender said his famous phrase: "Things are moving, gentlemen of the jury! The parade leader will be me!"
