Ladies and gentlemen...
:49:16
...the United States doesn't want war
any more than you do.
:49:20
On the other hand, neither do we
want peace at any price...
:49:24
...because some prices,
you may find...
:49:27
...are too outrageously high to pay.
:49:29
But let's not get into that now.
We may have to soon enough.
:49:33
For the moment, let us raise
our glasses to Lord Darlington...
:49:37
...in gratitude for his
magnificent hospitality.
:49:53
Lord Darlington is a classic
English gentleman of the old school.
:49:58
Decent and honorable and well-meaning.
:50:02
So are all of you. All decent,
honorable and well-meaning gentlemen.
:50:06
It's a pleasure and a privilege
to visit with you here.
:50:10
But...
:50:12
...now, excuse me, I must say this...
:50:14
...you are, all of you, amateurs.
:50:18
And international affairs should
never be run by gentlemen amateurs.
:50:22
Do you have any idea of what sort
of a place the world is becoming?
:50:27
The days when you could act
out of noble instincts are over.
:50:31
Europe has become the arena of
Realpolitik, the politics of reality.
:50:35
If you like, real politics.
:50:39
What you need is not gentlemen
politicians, but real ones.
:50:43
You need professionals,
or you're headed for disaster.
:50:48
So I propose a toast, gentlemen...
:50:51
...to the professionals.
