What this is about is a big country,
the United States...
:47:02
...making war on a little country.
:47:05
In the US government's view,
which I'm not in any way endorsing...
:47:09
...the US policy is...
:47:11
Maybe this will help. Take these ants.
:47:14
In the US view, a small group,
or cadre, of fierce red ants...
:47:17
...have taken power and are oppressing
the black ant majority.
:47:22
The stated US policy
is to aid those black ants...
:47:24
...opposing the red ants,
in hopes of restoring democracy...
:47:26
...and to stop the red ants from assisting
comrades in neighboring ant colonies.
:47:31
That is the clearest and most disgusting
description of US policy I've ever heard.
:47:37
The Third World is just a lot of ants to you.
:47:40
Those are people dying, not ants!
:47:42
You don't understand.
I was reducing everything to ant scale.
:47:45
The US included. An ant White House...
:47:48
...an ant CIA, an ant Congress,
an ant Pentagon.
:47:49
Secret ant landing strips...
:47:53
...illegally established on foreign soil.
:47:55
- Where are the red ants?
- There.
:48:09
- That was terrible.
- You're blowing it way out of proportion.
:48:12
Those red ants were bad news.
They weren't good for anybody.
:48:14
I was trying to convince them
to look at Americans in a new way.
:48:17
Then, in one stupid move,
you confirm their worst assumptions.
:48:20
I didn't confirm them,
I am their worst assumption.
:48:24
- Now Ramon is certain you are CIA.
- ''Where are the red ants? ''
:48:28
It was a joke!
:48:31
I won't apologize.
The little bastards got what they deserved.
:48:47
Montserrat decided to ride back
with Ramon to pick up her things.
:48:59
Thanks.
