1:07:01
Tad, you and I have been friends
a long time.

1:07:04
That's why I called you here.
1:07:10
What are you going to do
in court tomorrow?

1:07:15
You know damn well what I'm going to do.
1:07:18
I know what you want to do:
1:07:20
Recommend they put them behind bars
and throw away the key.

1:07:24
You know what's going on here now?
1:07:27
Yeah.
1:07:30
I know what's going on.
1:07:31
Tad, you're an army man.
1:07:33
You know what we're up against.
The others may not, but you do.

1:07:36
I'll tell you the truth.
1:07:38
I don't know what's going to happen
if they fire on one of those planes.

1:07:42
I don't know what's going to happen.
1:07:45
But if I do know this:
If Berlin goes, Germany goes.

1:07:49
If Germany goes, Europe goes.
1:07:53
That's the way things stand.
1:07:57
That's the way they stand.
1:07:58
Look, Matt, I'm going to go the limit.
1:08:01
And not you, not the Pentagon,
not God on His throne is going to make me...

1:08:05
Who do you think you're talking to?
1:08:09
Who the hell do you think you're talking to?
1:08:11
When you were marching into Dachau
with those troops, I was there, too.

1:08:15
You think I'll ever forget it?
1:08:18
Look, I'm not your commanding officer.
1:08:20
I can't influence your decision,
and I don't want to.

1:08:23
But I want to give this to you,
and I want to give it to you straight.

1:08:27
We need the help of the German people.
1:08:32
And you don't get the help
of the German people...

1:08:34
by sentencing their leaders
to stiff prison sentences.

1:08:50
The thing to do is survive, isn't it?
1:08:54
Survive as best we can, but survive.
