1:47:00
Then why do it?
1:47:01
Because it's the right thing to do.
1:47:03
I can't believe it.
1:47:05
Is this the Charlie Madison who once said:
1:47:07
"God save us from all the people
who do the right thing...
1:47:10
"it's the rest of us
who get our backs broken?"
1:47:12
Are you seriously going to destroy...
1:47:14
everything that means anything to you...
1:47:15
in a futile gesture of virtue?
1:47:18
You're going to put yourself in jail,
are you?
1:47:20
- I don't care what happens to me.
- How bloody brave.
1:47:23
But you do care what happens to me.
At least you said you did.
1:47:27
What am I supposed to do...
1:47:28
whilst you sit in your prison cell
for five or six years...
1:47:31
admiring the glisten
of your own martyrdom?
1:47:33
Emily, I want the world to know
what a fraud war is.
1:47:36
But war isn't a fraud, Charlie. It's very real.
1:47:39
At least, that's what you've
always tried to tell me, isn't it?
1:47:42
That we shall never get rid of war
by pretending it's unreal.
1:47:45
It's the virtue of war that's the fraud,
not war itself.
1:47:48
It's the valor and the self-sacrifice...
1:47:51
and the goodness of war
that needs the exposing.
1:47:55
Here you are
being brave and self-sacrificing...
1:47:58
positively clanking with moral fervor,
perpetuating the very things you detest...
1:48:02
merely to do "the right thing."
1:48:05
Honestly, Charlie, your conversion
to morality is really quite funny.
1:48:08
All this time, I've been terrified
of becoming Americanized...
1:48:11
and you, you silly ass,
have turned into a bloody Englishman.
1:48:14
There's a matter of principle involved here.
1:48:17
A matter of what?
1:48:19
Charlie, didn't you once say:
1:48:22
"What's a lion doing
in a man's house anyway?"
1:48:26
Emily, if a man knows the truth,
he has to say it.
1:48:32
Is this the Charlie Madison who once said:
1:48:34
"I'm not equipped to deal with the truth.
1:48:37
"I let God worry about the truth.
1:48:39
"I just want to know
the momentary fact of things."
1:48:42
And your idea of facts, you said...
1:48:44
Were you, a home, a country, a world...
1:48:48
and the universe. In that order.
1:48:52
I'm quite prepared to supply all that
as my end of the deal.
1:48:56
What do you get out of it?
1:48:59
I'll settle for a Hershey bar.
