Rose Island Page #9

Mr. Carrisi,

you're very lucky to be this young.

You know what they did to people like you

on the hellish routes to Benghazi?

I'm sorry, sir.

Aim the cannons,

and fire two warning shots.

They're just spineless kids.

They'll run away

as soon as they smell the gunpowder.

Yes, sir.

What do we do now?

What do you say, Rudy?

God knows.

"God knows"? You always go on about

how you've been to war.

I didn't think they'd aim the cannons.

They're only trying to scare us.

I'm not buying it.

Soldiers… they're all the same.

They act threatening,

but they don't have the balls to shoo--

Admiral, the civilians are still there,

holding hands.

They're challenging us, sir.

Shoot closer.

Admiral, I'd advise against it.

It's too risky.

Shoot closer.

Well, I guess I was wrong.

We should go now. At least we tried.

I'm not moving.

Rudy's right. They're firing cannons.

Staying here is suicide.

Think of the baby.

What do you mean?

What about

the "first natural-born citizen"?

You're still going on about that?

It was bullshit, a joke!

Giorgio, listen, I know how soldiers--

It was good knowing you, Rudy.

Send in the Raiders.

Listen…

about your dad's TV that time,

I'm sorry.

I never apologized.

It's okay. Who cares.

The important thing's to change the world.

Or at least try to.

The Council of Europe declared

it couldn't deliberate on the dispute

between the Italian State

and the free Republic of Rose Island

as the island

was outside European territorial waters,

essentially acknowledging it

as an independent state.

To prevent similar events

from happening again,

the UN moved the borders

of international waters

from 6 to 12 nautical miles,

all around the world.

To this day,

the destruction of Rose Island

is the one and only invasion

perpetrated by the Italian Republic.

Giorgio and Gabriella

spent the rest of their lives together.
