Please...

Order in the court.

A reaction is understandable,

but please refrain.

Sit down, and I'll read

the grounds for the decision.

Our decision is unanimous.

In other words,

all three of us agree on the verdict.

This is Afghanistan, right?

And this is Denmark, right?

And this is Madagascar,

this is South Africa -

- and this is Brazil,

and this is Italy.

- Or I mean... what was it?

- USA.

- USA.

- Lie down now.

- USA.

- Go to sleep now. USA.

Dad?

- Are you going away again?

- No.

I'm not.

- Are you going to stay home now?

- Yes.

So will you tuck me in tomorrow?

Will you?

You bet I will.

I love you.

- I love you too. Good night.

- Good night.
