We are being taken towards war
by popular fervor.

:51:06
There is no reason for war, there is
no real understanding of the issues...

:51:11
...because there are
hardly any issues involved.

:51:14
Let us not pretend that Christian England
can find common ground...

:51:17
...with infidel Turkey
against Christian Russia.

:51:21
''Blessed are the peacemakers, for
they shall be called the children of God.''

:51:34
Restrain yourselves, my friends. Peace.
:51:37
Peace, my brethren.
:51:42
Restrain yourselves, my friends.
:51:49
-So excited.
-Yes.

:51:52
Everybody is so excited.
:51:54
l'm not excited.
ls it such an exciting thing to do?

:51:58
Yes, it is the most exciting thing
in the world.

:52:01
Perhaps there is no other life for a man,
is there, Lewis?

:52:07
No, there is not.
:52:10
How sad.
:52:12
-Why sad?
-Because it all ends in death.

:52:16
-l will not have you thinking of death.
-No.

:52:19
l don't know what has made me
think of death.

:52:22
War has made her think of death.
:52:25
l do believe it has.
Dear Clarissa, it is inevitable.

:52:30
Until such savages are
sufficiently civilized to understand...

:52:35
...and abide by decisions
arrived at by arbitration...

:52:38
...we will have, we must have, war.
:52:42
Yes.
:52:45
Now, l feel l should propose a toast
or something of the kind.

:52:48
-l'm not sure what.
-Not the Crimea.

:52:51
No.
:52:52
Lewis, what about you?
Your new appointment.

:52:55
No.
:52:56
No?
