To be exact, our story
began on March 4, 1944.
:02:10
It was a day
of gruelling fighting...
:02:12
...in the Second World War;...
:02:14
...but the sun was shining
serenely on neutral Turkey.
:02:18
The very same evening,
on March 4, 1944...
:02:21
...a Turkish minister held a
reception for the diplomatic corps.
:02:24
The place, Ankara, the
capital of neutral Turkey.
:02:34
If Excellency will excuse me, I
have suddenly acquired a headache.
:02:38
I've had mine for some time.
:02:40
Perhaps from standing too much?
:02:43
From listening too much.
Wagner makes me ill.
:02:46
Herr von Papen, I hope your
country appreciates you.
:02:49
You are the only unpredictable
German I have ever met.
:03:25
I cannot remember when I've seen
a lady as beautiful as you...
:03:29
...eat as heartily as you.
:03:34
Just a little more
of the salad, please.
:03:46
No one admires Turkish
food more than I.
:03:49
Still, the prospect of dining from
a buffet at a diplomatic reception...
:03:53
The number of actual
dinners I eat these days...
:03:56
...is equal to the number of
receptions to which I am invited.
