5:43:01
There's not a man in this room...
5:43:03
...or anywhere for that matter, to whom
I would more willingly trust my life.
5:43:08
There are alternatives to war.
5:43:11
We take our case before the king.
5:43:13
-We plead with him.
-We tried.
5:43:15
Well, then, we try again and again
if necessary to avoid a war.
5:43:20
I was at Bunker Hill.
5:43:23
The British advanced three times.
5:43:25
We killed 700 at point-blank range
and still they took the ground.
5:43:29
That is the measure of their resolve.
5:43:33
If your principles dictate
independence...
5:43:36
...then war is the only way.
5:43:38
It is come to that.
5:43:40
Hear, hear.
5:43:44
I have seven children.
5:43:47
My wife is dead.
5:43:50
Now, who's to care for them
if I go to war?
5:43:55
Wars are not fought
only by childless men.
5:43:58
Granted.
5:44:03
But mark my words.
5:44:07
This war will be fought,
not on the frontier...
5:44:11
...or on some distant battlefield...
5:44:15
...but amongst us.
5:44:17
Among our homes.
5:44:20
Our children will learn of it
with their own eyes.
5:44:26
And the innocent will die
with the rest of us.
5:44:33
I will not fight.
5:44:35
And because I will not fight,
I will not cast a vote...
5:44:38
...that will send others to fight
in my stead.
5:44:43
And your principles?
5:44:49
I'm a parent. I haven't got
the luxury of principles.
