Nuland: "What do you think?"
Pyatt: "I think we're in play! The Klitschko piece is obviously the complicated electron here - especially the announcement of him as deputy Prime Minister and you've seen some of my notes on the troubles in the marriage right now so we're trying to get a read really fast on where he is on this stuff - but I think your argument to him, which you'll need to make - I think that's the next phone call we want to set up is exactly the one you made to Yatsen(yuk) and I'm glad you sort of put him on th spot on where he fits in this scenario and I'm very glad he said what he said in response."
Nuland: "Good, so, uh, I don't think Klitsch should go into the government; I don't think it's necessary. I don't think it's a good idea."
Pyatt: "Yeah, I mean, I guess you think - what in terms of him not going into the government? Just let him sort of stay out and do his political homework and stuff? I'm just thinking in terms of sort of the process moving ahead we want to keep the moderate democrats together. The problem is going to be Tyahnybok and his guys - and, you know, I'm sure that's part of what Yanukovych is calculating on all of this. Umm..."
Nuland: "I think Yats is the guy who's got the economic experience the governing experience. He's the guy, you know - what he needs is Klitsch and Tyahnybok on the outside. He needs to be talking to them four times a week. You know, I just think Klitsch going in - he's going to be at that level working for Yatsenyuk - it's just not going to work."
Pyatt: "Yeah, no, I think that's right."
