- It's not cold, Mishka.
- That's a matter of opinion.
:41:28
- I think it must be well below zero.
- Wonderful!
:41:31
- Where to now, sir?
- Where? I don't know.
:41:34
- Are you looking at the comet?
- Yes.
:41:37
They say it means bad.
:41:38
They say it means war
and famine and plague.
:41:41
- All sorts of woes.
- Nonsense.
:41:43
That comet's beautiful.
Life is beautiful!
:41:45
- Go, Mishka!
- Where to? The club?
:41:48
- No.
- Home?
:41:49
No. Go.
Just go, Mishka!

"If Your Majesty wishes to avoid
shedding our people's blood...
:42:15
for a mere misunderstanding...
:42:17
and consents to the withdrawal
of Your Majesty's troops...
:42:21
I, on my side,
will forget what has happened...
:42:24
and agreement between us
will be possible.
:42:26
Otherwise, Your Majesty...
:42:29
I shall be forced
to repel an aggression...
:42:32
that has been
totally unprovoked by me.
:42:35
The decision whether
to preserve humanity...
:42:37
from the disasters of another war...
:42:40
lies in Your Majesty's hands. "
:42:43
"I am," et cetera, "Alexander. "
:42:47
So, this letter is very polite,
very eloquent...
:42:50
and it is full of
the most fraternal expressions...
:42:53
of devotion and love
from your master, the tsar.
:42:57
Sentiments which, I assure you...
:42:59
are reciprocated by me.
