1:08:01
Don't worry, I've fixed everything.
Wait and see.

1:08:05
Gentlemen, may I claim
your indulgence for a moment?

1:08:09
We are here tonight
to rid the country of a tyrant.

1:08:14
In order to carry this out
one of us must die.

1:08:20
In ancient times the Aryan tribe
of the Langobardians

1:08:23
made human sacrifice
to the god Thor.

1:08:27
At a feast
by lottery the victim was chosen.

1:08:30
Tonight, at this feast,
one of you will be chosen.

1:08:38
Each man will receive a pudding.
1:08:40
Concealed in one of these is a coin.
1:08:42
Whoever gets it
must give up his life

1:08:45
but he will join the long line
of history's noble martyrs

1:08:50
and will rid his country
of a tyrant.

1:09:04
I know that it is the wish
of all of us

1:09:07
to be chosen this night
to die for Tomainia.

1:09:10
Much as I should like to participate
in this ordeal, I cannot...

1:09:15
Why?
1:09:19
Don't you understand?
He's too well known.

1:09:22
It must be somebody like us.
1:09:25
I can't see it like that.
1:09:26
It is a question of my honour.
It is very embarrassing.

1:09:32
Commander Schultz,
I apologise for my friend.

1:09:35
Let me say, on behalf
of myself and the others,

1:09:38
that we consider it a great
privilege to die for our country.

1:09:43
Very well, then.
1:09:44
Gentlemen, I shall now retire
until fate has chosen the liberator.

1:09:51
Until then... Hail Hynk...
1:09:54
What am I saying?
1:09:56
Gentlemen,
we have pledged our honour.
