:10:02
It is enough.
:10:04
I shall ask the powers to meet
for a speedy and honorable peace.

:10:07
There must be an end!
:10:13
What? Peace now? After such a victory?
:10:17
We have these heretics by the throat.
:10:19
Let us have them on their knees.
:10:20
Will you slaughter all of contrary faith,
Archbishop?

:10:23
You are too ambitious.
:10:25
But, Your Majesty,
if the enemy refuses to accept our terms?

:10:28
Offer them terms they will accept.
:10:30
Your father, the King, must be avenged!
:10:33
Not avenged, My Lord, justified!
:10:36
He must be justified!
:10:37
We must have compensation
for our soldiers.

:10:40
20 million thalers!
:10:41
30 million!
:10:42
I will take their last thaler!
:10:44
The world rings with the fame
of our armies!

:10:46
And we shall win still greater glories
for Sweden.

:11:03
Spoils! Glory!
:11:06
Flags and trumpets!
:11:08
What is behind
these high-sounding words?

:11:11
Death and destruction!
:11:13
Triumphals of crippled men!
:11:15
Sweden victorious in a ravaged Europe.
:11:18
An island in a dead sea!
:11:22
I tell you, I want no more of it.
:11:26
I want for my people
security and happiness.

:11:30
I want to cultivate the arts of peace.
:11:32
The arts of life!
:11:35
I want peace, and peace I will have.
