Castex went to Buenos Aires.

He won't answer his phone.

That's his problem.

What happened, Hernn?

You know what he's like.

He's an idiot.

Get ready to take over.

And now relax.

Everything will be OK.

Concentrate on the summit now.

It's the summit now.

Are we ready, Presidents?

We'll make a start.

So...

It's been two days of intense debate.

But because yesterday

the President of Mexico

made an alternative proposal,

that complicates the agreement

surrounding the oil alliance,

I suggest we do

one more round of statements,

in which each president

puts forward his opinion.

If we still can't reach an agreement,

we'll proceed to a simple vote.

If I must adopt

the unpleasant role of pointing out

that the opinions here at this summit

are tainted with prejudice,

tainted with errors,

you can be sure, fellow Presidents,

I will do so.

Let us not be afraid!

We are behaving

like faint-hearted countries.

Scared that the class bully

will come and threaten us.

Let us not be afraid, Americans.

Let us not be afraid

to call ourselves America.

Let us be America,

one single America. The time has come.

President Sastre,

Sebastin.

You want us to say yes.

But we can't say yes.

How long have we been saying yes?

How long have they

been saying yes for us?

Do you know what?

This is the time to tell them No.

"No", Presidents.

Listen to how good it sounds:

no.

On this point I'll agree

with the President of Argentina.

They

are not our brothers.

They are our neighbors,

not our brothers.

Don't be mistaken,

President of Mexico.

A neighbor isn't a brother.

And when I say

that there's a leg missing

from this great family table,

I'm not referring to the United States

of North America,

Mr. President of Mexico.

Where is Guatemala?

Where is Nicaragua?

Where is Honduras?

You are asking to bring

the Trojan horse into the city.

This horse is full of enemies!

Presidents,

now isn't the time for new ideas.

It's time to stand strong,

it's time to defend

what we've built so far.

What we built

was built by us.

Not Nicaragua, nor El Salvador,

nor Costa Rica.

It was us, us!

In the face

of these opposing standpoints,

we'll move on to the vote.

For the motion

of a continental alliance

that includes the countries

of the three Americas,

North, Central and South America.

Who votes in favor?

Mexico.

Only Mexico?

Very well.

We will now vote

for Ecuador's proposal:

to add to future talks

about the alliance

the Spanish speaking countries

of Central America and the Caribbean.

Let us vote.

All those in favor?

Ecuador.

Paraguay.

Venezuela.

Peru.

Mexico.

And Argentina.

Therefore, with 6 votes to 5,

the winning vote is the proposal

to include in this alliance

the countries of Central America

and the Caribbean.
