and-and politely take part
in Vietnam; the sequel?

:06:06
[Audience Murmuring]
:06:09
Well, uh, l- I can't speak
for Sir Bernard-

:06:14
Oh, I thought that's
why you were here.

:06:16
[Laughs]
I mean, diplomats have
to go where they're sent.

:06:20
So do Labradors.
[All]
Ooh.

:06:22
- Ouch.
- [Murmuring]

:06:25
Well; I think that; no; Sir Bernard
would no doubt argue...

:06:27
that when, um, peaceful means
are exhausted, then-
Exhausted?

:06:32
Mr. Quayle; they're not exactly
exhausted; are they?

:06:35
I mean, they're just- they're just-
No, they are just lying
in the way of the tanks.

:06:39
No; l-l-let's face it.
We've taken 60 years...

:06:43
to build up this international organization
called the United Nations,

:06:48
which is meant to avoid wars,
:06:50
- and now we just blow it up
because our car's running out of petrol.
- Sit down, Tessa, for Christ's sake.

:06:54
- L- I think-
- Hold on a minute.
Let's see what he says.

:06:56
I think the questioner
is making a valid point,
and that a nation's foreign policy...

:06:59
- should not be determined
by narrow commercial interests.
- That's bullshit.

:07:03
That's bullshit.
You have to take responsibility.

:07:05
You are being paid to apologize
for this pathetic country of Britain,

:07:10
and he can explain to us why we've burned
our diplomatic credentials...

:07:14
and why we're killing, you know,
thousands of innocent people...

:07:18
just for-just for some barrels of oil...
:07:20
and a photo opportunity
on the White House lawn.

:07:23
Why?
:07:45
[Sighs; Sniffles]
:07:51
Are you all right?
Yes, thanks.

:07:57
You were courageous.
No. No; I was completely rude.
