:52:00
I OBJECT.
EVEN I OBJECT.
:52:01
- I OBJECT TOO.
- YOU'RE ON TRIAL, YOU CAN'T.
:52:04
YOUR EXCELLENCY,
GENERAL COOPER SAYS...
:52:07
THAT THE SYLVANIAN TROOPS
ARE ABOUT TO LAND ON FREEDONIAN SOIL.
:52:10
THIS MEANS WAR !
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.
:52:13
WAR WOULD MEAN A PROHIBITIVE
INCREASE IN OUR TAXES.
:52:15
HEY, I GOT AN UNCLE LIVES IN TAXES.
NO !
:52:18
I'M TALKING ABOUT
TAXES, MONEY, DOLLARS.
:52:21
DOLLAS ! THAT'S WHERE
MY UNCLE LIVES, DOLLAS, TAXES.
:52:24
[ Laughing ]
:52:27
[ Fanfare ]
MORE BAD NEWS.
:52:33
DIDN'T I TELL YA ?
YOUR EXCELLENCY.
:52:35
WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND, BABE ?
ON BEHALF OF THE WOMEN OF FREEDONIA,
:52:38
I HAVE TAKEN IT UPON MYSELF
TO MAKE ONE FINAL EFFORT TO PREVENT WAR.
:52:43
NO KIDDING ?
I'VE TALKED TO AMBASSADOR TRENTINO.
:52:46
HE SAYS SYLVANIA
DOESN'T WANT WAR EITHER.
:52:48
"EITHER."
DOESN'T WANT WAR "EITHER."
:52:51
EITHER.
SKIP IT.
:52:53
I'VE TAKEN THE LIBERTY
OF ASKING THE AMBASSADOR TO COME OVER HERE.
:52:56
WE BOTH FELT A FRIENDLY
CONFERENCE WOULD SETTLE EVERYTHING PEACEFULLY.
:53:01
HE'LL BE HERE
ANY MOMENT.
:53:03
MRS. TEASDALE,
YOU DID A NOBLE DEED.
:53:06
I'D BE UNWORTHY OF
THE HIGH TRUST THAT'S BEEN PLACED IN ME...
:53:08
IF I DIDN'T DO EVERYTHING
WITHIN MY POWER TO KEEP OUR FREEDONIA AT PEACE.
:53:13
I'D BE ONLY TOO HAPPY TO
MEET AMBASSADOR TRENTINO...
:53:15
AND OFFER HIM ON BEHALF
OF MY COUNTRY THE RIGHT HAND OF GOOD FELLOWSHIP.
:53:19
I FEEL SURE HE WILL ACCEPT
THIS GESTURE IN THE SPIRIT IN WHICH IT IS OFFERED.
:53:24
BUT SUPPOSE HE DOESN'T.
A FINE THING THAT'LL BE.
:53:27
I HOLD OUT MY HAND AND
HE REFUSES TO ACCEPT IT.
:53:30
THAT'LL ADD A LOT TO
MY PRESTIGE, WON'T IT ?
:53:31
ME, THE HEAD OF A COUNTRY,
SNUBBED BY A FOREIGN AMBASSADOR !
:53:35
WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS
THAT HE CAN COME HERE...
:53:37
AND MAKE A SAP OUT OF ME
IN FRONT OF MY PEOPLE ?
:53:39
THINK OF IT.
I HOLD OUT MY HAND...
:53:42
AND THAT HYENA
REFUSES TO ACCEPT IT.
:53:44
WHY, THE CHEAP
FOUR-FLUSHING SWINE !
:53:46
HE'LL NEVER GET AWAY WITH IT,
I TELL YOU !
:53:50
OH, PLEASE !
:53:51
SO, YOU REFUSE TO SHAKE
HANDS WITH ME, EH ?
:53:53
MRS. TEASDALE, THIS IS
THE LAST STRAW ! THERE'S NO TURNING BACK NOW !
:53:58
THIS MEANS WAR !
