:14:02
I want to be frank with you, Mr...
I mean Klaatu.
:14:07
Our world at the moment
is full of tensions and suspicions.
:14:13
In the present international situation,
such a meeting would be quite impossible.
:14:17
What about your United Nations?
:14:20
You know about the United Nations?
:14:22
We've been monitoring your radio broadcasts
for a good many years.
:14:25
- That's how we learned your languages.
- I'm sure you recognise from our broadcasts
:14:30
the evil forces that have produced
the trouble in our world. Surely...
:14:34
I'm not concerned with
the internal affairs of your planet.
:14:37
My mission here is not
to solve your petty squabbles.
:14:41
It concerns the existence
of every last creature on Earth.
:14:44
Perhaps if you could explain a little...
:14:47
I intend to explain.
To all the nations, at the same time.
:14:52
How do we proceed, Mr Harley?
:14:56
Well, we could call a special meeting
of the General Assembly.
:15:01
But the UN doesn't represent all the nations.
:15:04
Then I suggest a meeting
of all the chiefs of state.
:15:07
Believe me, you don't understand.
They wouldn't sit down to the same table.
:15:12
I don't want to resort to threats, Mr Harley.
:15:15
I merely tell you that
the future of your planet is at stake.
:15:18
I urge that you transmit that message
to the nations of the Earth.
:15:28
I will make that recommendation
to the president.
:15:34
But I must tell you in all honesty,
I'm extremely dubious about the results.
:15:38
Apparently I'm not as cynical
about Earth's people as you are.
:15:42
I have been dealing in Earth's politics
a good deal longer than you have.
:15:46
Good night, sir.
:15:58
It is now 2am, and the giant robot
still hasn't moved.
