Get that ambulance over here.
Take him to Walter Reed Hospital right away.

:12:05
Mr Harley, sir, from the White House.
:12:07
- General.
- Right in there, Mr Harley.

:12:23
My name is Harley,
secretary to the president.

:12:27
I've been told you speak our language,
and that your name is Mr... Klaatu?

:12:32
Just Klaatu.
:12:33
The president conveys his
deepest apologies for what happened.

:12:37
Sit down, Mr Harley.
:12:39
Thank you.
:12:44
I'm sure I need hardly point out that
your arrival was something of a surprise.

:12:49
Had you been travelling long?
:12:51
About five months. Your months.
:12:54
You must have come a long way.
:12:56
About 250 million of your miles.
:13:01
Naturally, we are very curious
to know where you come from.

:13:04
From another planet.
:13:06
Let's just say that we're neighbours.
:13:08
It's hard for us to think
of a planet as a neighbour.

:13:11
In the present situation
you'll have to learn to think that way.

:13:14
- The present situation?
- I mean the reason for my coming here.

:13:18
We're very curious about that, too.
:13:21
- Would you care to talk about it?
- I'd be glad to.

:13:26
Not now, of course, with you alone.
:13:28
You'd rather talk personally
with the president?

:13:31
This is not a personal matter, Mr Harley.
It concerns all the people on your planet.

:13:37
I... I'm not sure I understand.
:13:41
I want to meet with representatives
from all the nations of the Earth.

:13:46
I'm afraid that would be a little awkward.
:13:48
It's completely without precedent.
:13:51
And there are practical considerations -
the time involved, the enormous distances.

:13:56
I travelled 250 million miles.
:13:59
I appreciate that, but...
