1:47:01
What matters the individual
if the idea survives?

1:47:05
Now, you must get some rest.
1:47:07
You have to be up early
for the Dreyfus ceremony.

1:47:10
Yes, Dreyfus. Yes, tomorrow
he will be restored to the army.

1:47:14
You know, it's a queer thing,
this Dreyfus affair.

1:47:18
Before it, I thought my work was done.
I could sit back and dream a little.

1:47:24
Cézanne was right.
I was getting smug and complacent.

1:47:29
Then suddenly came the Dreyfus explosion,
and I'm alive again...

1:47:34
...my head bursting with ideas!
1:47:36
This new book is bigger than anything
I've ever dared before.

1:47:40
The world about to hurl itself
to destruction...

1:47:42
...the will of nations for peace,
a powerful break, stopping it on the brink.

1:47:49
You don't believe it? Wait.
1:47:56
"To save Dreyfus, we had to challenge
the might of those who dominate the world.

1:48:01
It is not the swaggering militarists.
1:48:03
They're but puppets that dance
as the strings are pulled.

1:48:06
It is those others,
those who would ruthlessly plunge us...

1:48:10
...into the bloody abyss of war
to protect their power."

1:48:15
Think of it, thousands of children
sleeping peacefully tonight...

1:48:20
...under the roofs of Paris, Berlin,
London, all the world...

1:48:25
...doomed to die horribly
under some titanic battlefield...

1:48:29
...unless it can be prevented.
And it can be prevented!

1:48:34
The world must be conquered...
1:48:36
...but not by force of arms,
but by ideas that liberate.

1:48:42
Then can we build it anew.
1:48:45
Build for the humble and the wretched.
1:48:51
That's good.
1:48:53
I must remember that.
