:57:00
I'm just as much
interested in you.
:57:05
Oh. I am deeply flattered.
:57:07
But not deeply moved.
:57:09
Can't you forgive her?
She's only a child.
:57:13
You can always do so much more
with mercy than you can with murder.
:57:16
Why don't you give her
another chance?
:57:18
Oh, I know you feel that she has deceived
you and sold information to your enemies,
:57:22
perhaps even been unfaithful
to you. All that's dreadful.
:57:25
And if it's true, you have a certain
justification in wanting to crush her.
:57:28
But I want you to think of all
those things and then forgive her.
:57:31
I don't know how you feel
about Mah-Li.
:57:33
I mean, whether you love
her as... Well, as a lover.
:57:37
But that's of no importance.
:57:39
I want you to see the beauty
of giving love where it isn't merited.
:57:42
Any man can give love where he's sure
it's returned. That isn't love at all.
:57:45
But to give love
with no thought of merit,
:57:47
no thought of return,
no thought of gratitude even.
:57:49
That's ordinarily
the privilege of God.
:57:52
And now it's your privilege.
:57:54
Oh, general, with all you have within
you, your superior brain, your culture,
:57:58
how can you be so blind
to spiritual greatness?
:58:01
Do this thing I ask you.
Do it for me.
:58:05
Do it even blindly if you must,
and I promise you, I'm so sure of it,
:58:09
I promise you that for
the first time in your life
:58:11
you'll know what
real happiness is.
:58:14
You'll know that I...
:58:25
I have one of my own.
:58:30
That's what you said
to me that day.
:58:35
You must be sincere,
Miss Davis.
:58:38
I don't believe a word you say.
:58:40
But when you ask me like that,
I forget I am General Yen.
:58:44
Then you won't have her killed?
But I ask myself,
:58:48
what do you get out of it?
:58:50
You've hardly known her
more than a few days,
:58:52
and still you act as if she were
of your own flesh and blood.
:58:56
She is. We're all of
one flesh and blood.
