6:59:02
Very well, sir. Proceed.
6:59:04
You have in your possession belongings
of mine including clothing...

6:59:09
...furniture, personal effects
of a non-military nature...

6:59:13
...which I'd like returned to me.
6:59:15
Indeed. I will do so
as soon as possible.

6:59:20
Thank you.
6:59:21
Now we come to the matter
of the specific targeting...

6:59:25
...of officers during engagements.
6:59:27
You must know that in civilized
warfare, officers in the field...

6:59:30
...must not be accorded inappropriate
levels of hostile attention.

6:59:36
To your mind, what are appropriate
levels of hostile attention?

6:59:39
Imagine the chaos that would follow...
6:59:42
...from leaderless armies
having at each other.

6:59:46
There must be gentlemen in command
to lead...

6:59:49
...and, where necessary,
restrain their men.

6:59:53
Restrain them from, say, targeting
civilians. Women, children and such.

7:00:01
That's a separate issue.
7:00:02
No. I consider them linked.
7:00:05
And as long as your soldiers
attack civilians...

7:00:08
...l will order the shooting
of officers at every engagement.

7:00:14
And my men are excellent marksmen.
7:00:20
Very well.
7:00:22
-Now, let us move on to--
-Prisoner exchange.

7:00:26
Sir?
7:00:28
You have 1 8 of my men.
I want them back.

7:00:38
I do have 1 8 criminals
under sentence of death...

7:00:43
...but I hold no prisoners of war.
7:00:46
If that's your position,
1 8 of your officers will have to die.

7:00:49
Nineteen, if you hang me with my men.
7:00:51
My officers?
7:00:53
Sir.
