He also said that Duntov would walk through the engineering lab(s) and request an informal update (in a thick accent): "How arrrr yu du-ing?"

After listening quietly and attentively while they explained all the technical attributes of whatever they were working on he would dismiss them, saying "...do da best you cahn...".

I have taken to saying that, now, as I walk away (which normally results in having to tell the whole story as relayed here).
