1:18:01
I want them expunged.
1:18:03
"Expunged, sir?
Don't you think that you...

1:18:06
All in the best possible
legal language, of course.

1:18:11
I want to see a labor
movement take root.

1:18:14
Labor movement?
That's right.

1:18:16
The workers must have a strong
voice in the means of production.

1:18:20
General, pardon me, but this
reminds me somewhat of...

1:18:24
Well, it's like...
Like what?

1:18:27
Like the New Deal.
1:18:31
Ah. Well, this is Japan,
not America.

1:18:35
But considering
her fascist past...

1:18:37
it might be good to move her just a
little left of center, don't you agree?

1:18:41
Yes, sir. Of course, we
wouldn't call it the New Deal.

1:18:43
No, sir.
1:18:45
Now...
1:18:48
Japanese women.
What about them?

1:18:50
They must be given the vote.
1:18:52
The men are not gonna like that.
Neither did our men at first.

1:18:56
General, I'm sorry, but it's too much to expect
a feudal country like Japan...

1:19:00
to swallow a whole new
constitution in one gulp.

1:19:02
Their cabinet
will never go for it.

1:19:04
The old cabinet wouldn't, but we've
yet to hear from the new prime minister.

1:19:09
And may I congratulate you on your
appointment, Mr. Shidehara.

1:19:12
Thank you.
1:19:14
General, I extend to you
my gratitude...

1:19:16
for the penicillin your medical
services made available to me.

1:19:21
It aided me in recovering
from a serious illness.

1:19:24
Happy to be
of assistance.

1:19:27
Diseases are conquered,
sir...

1:19:30
even very old
epidemic diseases.

1:19:35
Yes?
Sometimes, though...

1:19:37
the cure is slow
and painful.

1:19:42
Yes, of course.
1:19:45
Is there some
particular difficulty?

1:19:54
General,
our new constitution...

1:19:56
must forbid any military
establishment in Japan whatsoever.
