- Hello! - Yes? Yes!

Yes, sir, perfectly.

Yes, of course, sir.

Aha. Yes sir, I will.

- Get going, John. - Listen, I'm sure that

Captain won't wanna shoot me anymore,

the war could be over right now...

- Run, John, run for it!

Go over there and

hide among the ruins!

- Whose? - Yours! Your act

of total lack of courage!

Sir, can you speak of courage

when it was a matter of...

Execute the order at once, Captain!

- Yes sir, very well. - At once!

- Yes sir, at once. I will.

There they go!

Get into the jeeps.

Three, follow me.

Five and six, come over to the right.

Over there, Maria!

Over toward our house!

There they are!

Stop them! Halt!

You two! Over to the right!

Stay after them, you! Faster!

Move, move, move!

Surround them!

Surround them!

Don't be afraid, Maria.

- Hello there... Excuse me,

have you seen a Lego around here? - No...

I've lost a Lego,

rather my daughter did.

Maria! Our house, Maria! There it is!

Maria, go up there!

Go and wait for me there!

Go in, put on the light, you'll see

how I've arranged everything.

- I don't think I can go...

- Yes, if I am alone I'll run faster.

I'll make a break for it, you'll run.

They'll come from behind, and in the

meantime you'll sneak up to the house.

Why don't I just run,

let them come after me

let them chase me and in the meantime

you can sneak up to the house.

John! John!

John! Go quick!

- There they are!

- Get them in! Surround them!

Cut them off on every side!

Hurry up, don't let them go away!

The President!

Halt...

Captain, what's going on here?

This man encouraged the people to revolt

and went so far as to insult the government.

- Is that so? He insulted us?

- Yes, sir!

- Give me the details! - No, I am the

one who did it! - She is not, I am!

- Be quiet!

- Let them talk! Go on. Let's hear this.

It's true that we shouted, and also we

embraced each other and sang. But

only because we want peace, that's all.

- We're human beings, Mister President.

- But you insulted me and the government, right?

Not much... I admit we said some bad things,

but then some things have to change too,

you can see some things're wrong, can't you?

- And what must change? - Everything!

- Everything, Mister President!

- And who will do all this?

Maybe... the governments will.

You and the other government heads

you get together in some room,

lock yourselves in, and... and you talk,

you talk all day, for a week, a month, a year.

For the time you need to agree on things.

Pure poppycock. People like you

are patriotic with sentimental words.

- War demands sacrifices!

- Mister President!

They've detected enemy

atomic missiles crossing our border.

Observation center X-12 reports that center

X-6 reports that none of the enemy missiles

has been intercepted. The speed is 28,000

miles per hour, present altitude 60 miles,

bearing 16.

This one is coming toward us.

Take cover, take cover!

Come on, Maria!

We are human too, I hate war, believe me!

We didn't want it, history will judge that.

You approved directions. All of you. Yes.

I have proof that you... you did.

It's down in black and white. You'll see...

Wait... Just wait, you'll see.

Here. The White book it's called.

You know what a White book is, don't you?

- Never heard of it.

- You've said "Yes" to everything,

all you, millions, you told me so in September,

October, November, December, January,

you all approved, it's in this book,

55 percent "Yes" votes.

Yes, it was a mistake, that's all.

That's our house over there.

Maria!

What's keeping your parents and

the others, they're usually on time.

I bought a coffee grinder too, Maria.

Are you going to fix

the coffee or shall I?

And Louis? Good old Louis...

He was right, that poor man

who wanted to commit suicide.

We should have thought to stop the war.

Yeah. Right, Maria?

Maria?

Maria!

Maria... Maria...

Maria!

Maria!

Maria!!!
