:21:01
Very pleased to meet you.
:21:03
We've heard good things
about you in Palestine.
:21:05
-Rumors. But I like them.
-So do we.
:21:08
Please sit down.
:21:10
-Cigar?
-No, thanks.
:21:13
Well, David,
how many people have you got by now...
:21:15
...in that barbed wire jungle of yours?
:21:18
Over 30,000.
:21:19
And they're building for 30,000 more
on the other side of the island.
:21:22
How many arrived yesterday
on the Star of David?
:21:25
Six hundred and eleven.
:21:26
We're going to take the same 611 off
the island and land them in Palestine.
:21:32
-Six hundred and eleven?
-He thinks he's Moses.
:21:35
We haven't been able to break more
than 10 or 15 at a time out of Karaolos.
:21:39
This will be a new experience.
One thing more. There's a time limit.
:21:42
Today is Tuesday.
We'll stage the break next Monday.
:21:45
-Next Monday?
-Why not tomorrow?
:21:48
Ari, we cannot do it.
:21:50
The United Nations
will vote on the Palestine issue...
:21:53
...before the end of this session.
:21:54
Between now and then
we have to show the world...
:21:57
...thousands of homeless European Jews...
:21:59
...are not going to accept any solution
that bars them from Palestine.
:22:02
A mass escape of the very same people
who arrived on the Star of David...
:22:06
...is worth more than a million speeches.
:22:08
But this isn't the Red Sea, Ari.
It's the Mediterranean.
:22:11
Right. Smite these waters as you will,
they do not part.
:22:14
That's why you'll have to get us a ship.
:22:17
I want a legitimate freighter...
:22:19
...with legal registry and real cargo
we can unload here in Cyprus.
:22:22
A ship for six...
:22:26
That's a wonderful idea.
:22:30
Brilliant.
:22:33
But the expense will be brilliant also.
:22:36
Not too brilliant.
:22:37
You know, our treasury
is based on donations,
:22:39
and right now we're rather low.
:22:42
-Well, can you deliver or not?
-I'll do my best.
:22:47
We Cypriots are with you.
For the Jews, Mandria will do everything.
:22:52
The Jews have paid you well
for your efforts, Mr. Mandria.
:22:55
-Ari, you've got to understand-
-No, Reuben. I say it.
