..."a stiff-necked people. "
1:13:04
Perhaps you could persuade them
that it's better to...
1:13:08
...bend a little, if those necks
are going to be saved at all.
1:13:16
Excuse me.
1:13:27
What was that all about?
1:13:30
I got this medal
because they don't trust Western Union.
1:13:37
They want me to deliver a message.
1:13:42
Listen, Mike, do you think
the United States...
1:13:45
...will ever recognize the new state,
when and if it's declared?
1:13:50
What the hell for?
What's in it for us but trouble?
1:13:54
Your friends may have the Bible
in their favor...
1:13:57
...but the Arabs have the oil.
1:13:59
Do you think our state department's
going to hesitate choosing up sides?
1:14:03
I guess you're right.
1:14:05
They're already putting the pressure
on your pals to postpone independence.
1:14:09
What's a few years,
a few centuries, to those people?
1:14:13
And I'm glad you finally got some sense...
1:14:16
...and pulled out before it was too late.
1:14:20
Now, listen, Mike, you bigoted, ignorant...
1:14:24
I'll try to enlighten
you, but I doubt I can...
1:14:26
...because you have no idea
of what the stakes are over there.
1:14:29
Here's a country
surrounded by five Arab nations...
1:14:32
...ready to shove them
into the Mediterranean.
1:14:34
No guns, no tanks, no friends, nothing.
1:14:36
People fighting with bare hands
for a piece of desert...
1:14:39
...because it's the last place
on this whole earth...
1:14:41
...that they can go to and try to live...
- Then why did you come back?
1:14:48
Wouldn't they let you play captain?
1:14:53
You know me too damn well.
1:14:57
You don't know me at all.
1:14:59
You don't give any of the rest of us credit
for being human beings.
