There's an extra glass
around here somewhere.

:16:09
You look better than ever, Uncle Akiva.
:16:12
It's an active life.
:16:15
You've been active yourself recently.
:16:18
This Exodus business shows in your
heart you're really an Irgunist.

:16:21
Two hundred pounds of dynamite?
:16:23
Immediately,
the British draw proper conclusions.

:16:27
Now, it's no accident
that brings you here tonight.

:16:31
-May I speculate?
-Of course.

:16:37
The Irgun has been blowing up
too many British installations.

:16:41
We behave rudely to our British guests.
:16:44
So the leading intellectuals of the Haganah,
after endless meetings and much debate...

:16:48
...have at last reached a decision.
:16:51
-Correct?
-It's close.

:16:54
They say, "Send Ari Ben Canaan.
:16:59
"The old criminal's
getting soft in the head.

:17:01
"He loves the boy. Maybe Ari can
stop his indelicate activities."

:17:06
-Also correct?
-Also.

:17:09
But they want something more.
:17:10
If the UN votes for Partition,
we'll have the Arab world on our backs.

:17:14
Our only hope is an alliance
between Irgun and Haganah.

:17:17
An alliance to fight? Of course.
:17:20
The minute Haganah adopts our policy
of fighting instead of talking...

:17:24
...an alliance between us becomes automatic.
:17:26
You're not being fair.
:17:28
When it comes to fighting,
Haganah has lost more lives than Irgun.

:17:31
We fight to defend ourselves, or to capture
positions that we can occupy and hold.

:17:35
When you attack it's just to spread terror.
:17:40
Your duty is done.
You have given me the official line.

:17:45
But what about you, Ari?
:17:46
Forget Haganah for one moment,
and tell me what you think.

:17:50
I think these bombings and these killings
hurt us with the United Nations.

:17:53
A year ago we had the respect
of the whole world.

:17:56
Now, when they read about us,
it's nothing but terror and violence.
