"THE ARRIVAL OF WANG" " Hello?" " Miss Aloisi?" " DE Renzi here, remember me?" " Of course, good morning." " Am I disturbing you?" " No, what's up?" "Herein Via Milano, we were satisfied with the results of your last job." "Are you working at the moment?" "I'm finishing the translation of a movie" "I have to deliver tomorrow morning, so, yes, I'm free." "Why?" "Well, the job wouldn't be for us." "It's for... colleagues." "They asked if we knew someone." "It's for an interpreting job." "But the problem is, it's needed today." "Ah, today?" "I don't know, it's a bit difficult." "It'd only be for a couple of hours." "They told me they'd pay very well about two thousand Euros." "Wow!" "That's serious money!" " I dunno..." " It really is very urgent" "They need an interpreter now." "But if you can't..." " All right, but what's it about?" " I have no clear idea." "They'll explain it to you, I imagine." "They only told me it was very urgent" "Ah, OK." "Well, what can I say?" "I hope I can postpone the delivery of the film" "Where do I have to go?" "If I give them your address, they'll send a car for you in half an hour." "Half an hour?" "Oh, my God, I dunno." "OK!" "Via dell'Orso, 23." "Via dell'Orso, 23." " Thank you, really." " Not at all." "I apologise for the "strangeness" of the situation." "No, don't worry, I'm used to strangeness" "So much the better." "Goodbye." "Already here?" "Giorgio, I had to rush away on an urgent job." "I'll explain later." "Back in a couple of hours." "Make dinner!" "Kisses, Gaia." " Gaia Aloisi?" " Yes." "Please." "Good morning, I'm Stefan Curti, Division Manager." "Good morning." "I'm sorry about all this rush, but it is a matter of the utmost importance." "No problem." "But there was no need to come pick me up." "Well, you see, it's a very particular situation" "We couldn't provide you with the address of our destination." "As a matter of fact, I'll have to ask you to put this over your eyes." " You can't be serious?" " Please try to understand" "It's a very delicate matter and the place we're going needs to remain top secret." "No, look, I don't think I'm ready for this." "I understand your doubts and concerns perfectly well." "But I guarantee it's a simple precaution we're taking." "For your own security more than anything else." "Who are you?" "Secret service?" "You spoke with DE Renzi, with whom you've already worked, right?" "Well then, it should already be clear that it's a service for the State." "But I'd rather not tell you more." "Let's just say my job is to keep you company during the trip with some idle conversation." "Anyhow, trust me:" "from a tourist point of view, you won't miss a thing!" "Now let me explain what we're up against:" "we need to ask a few questions to someone who only speaks Chinese." "And we found ourselves in such an emergency that we didn't have the means to go through our normal channels." "What's it about?" "Well, you see..." "The whole business is very confidential." "We'd prefer to keep as tight a lid as possible." "Please." "Slowly, slowly..." "A step." "Come." "Careful." "We're almost there." "Careful, here on the right." "Here on the left." "Be careful down the stairs." "Slowly." "That's it, yes." "Careful, another one." "And another, and another..." "The last one." "Now go right." " Careful." " Please." " I can't stand it in here." " Ma'am!" "I told you we need to sort out some formalities." "What formalities?" "I warned you, I gave it to you straight!" "Why did you take so long to believe me?" "No, no, Mrs Amounike!" "Come with me!" " Where are you taking me?" " Sit down." " Let me go!" " Here we are." " Then let me go!" " Sit down!" "Don't make things worse!" "Worse than the thing in there?" "Are you ready for some more odd behaviour from us." "I don't know." "But let's hear it." "All right." "You are presently seated at a table in front of a person we need to ask a list of questions." "What's so strange about that?" "We'd rather you didn't see the face of the person we'll be talking to." "Why?" "Is it someone I could know?" "If I could answer you," "I wouldn't have to hide his face from you." "You want to run the whole interview with this blindfold?" "That would be a solution." "At the moment, the lights in this room are switched off." "I figured we could carry on our conversation in the dark" " Wouldn't that be better?" " Yes, better." "Please, take off this blindfold." "It's beginning to bother me." "I'll take it off right away!" "Here, better?" " Yes." "Thank you." " Now we can get started." "Very well, then, seated in front of you is Mr Wang whom we will ask to answer a series of questions." "Good morning, Mr Wang." "Good morning." "If you're ready, we can start with the first question." "Mr Wang, your presence in Rome was first reported to us two weeks ago as being in the basement-apartment owned by Mrs Amounike." "How long had you been staying there?" "I had just arrived." "Not more than a few hours." "Why were you in that particular place?" "I thought it was uninhabited." "After you escaped Mrs Amounike's house, where did you hide?" "Mr Wang says that the terms "escape" and "hide" aren't appropriate." "Once you left the house, what was your destination?" "A place suited to my needs." "You obviously don't wish to answer that question!" "But I guarantee that, in a matter of time, you will." "So the sooner the better for all of us, but especially for you!" "That sounds like a threat." "I'm not sure..." "Miss, for the time being, limit yourself to translating!" "If we take a break, I'll try to clarify the situation for you somewhat." "But now let me finish the question and please simply translate it!" "Go ahead." "Can you explain to us why this morning, all of a sudden, you felt a strong need to return to Mrs Amounike's house, despite the obvious risks and difficulties of such an initiative?" "I was fond of the place." "I wanted to explain my situation to Mrs Amounike." "We have reason to believe that you returned to Mrs Amounike's house to retrieve something which, in your rush, you'd left behind." "We want to know if that's the case, and if so, what it was." "I don't understand why you draw all these conclusions." "If you're so convinced, why do you bother asking questions?" "I already told you why I went back." "Where I come from, courtesy still has value." "For me, it was important to explain myself to Mrs Amounike, as it is with you, Mr Curti." "Enough of this waltzing, Mr Wang Why did you come here to us?" "Cultural exchange and reciprocal appreciation." "Bullshit!" "This is just bullshit!" "Why this attitude?" "Maybe he's telling the truth." "Please, Miss Aloisi." "Don't interfere!" "You don't know!" "But you're right." "Let's moderate our tone." "Mr Wang, forgive me for ?" "ying off the handle." "Explain to me." "Why Chinese?" "Excuse me, in what sense?" "Translate!" "Mr Wang will understand!" "Sometimes it's difficult to translate when you don't understand the concept." "Is it so difficult for you to translate something you don't understand?" "Why the Chinese language?" "Is that better now?" "It's the most spoken language in the world." "It seemed the best choice to communicate with as many people as possible." "That's a credible answer." "Now let's move ahead, Mr Wang." "Wait a second please, Mr Curti." "I'm confused and a bit troubled by the drift of this conversation." "I don't know if I can..." "Would you like to take a break?" "Gladly." "And if I could have a quick snack, maybe." "All right." "Sony, but it all came so suddenly." "Drink this." "You'll feel better." "Thank you." "Thank you." "I'm sorry." "The situation is pretty nerve-racking." "Why?" "Did something come out?" "Did he say something?" "Answer me!" "Are we in danger?" "Danger?" "What do you mean?" " Mr Wang is some sort of terrorist?" " No." "A terrorist?" "Mr Wang?" " That thing's a..." " Mrs Amounike, your position is already complicated." "Don't complicate it for Miss Aloisi as well." "All right, let's go." "Bastards!" "Believe me, if we're keeping you in the dark about a few things," " it's for your own protection." " I believe you." "It's just that this conversation in the dark is tying me in knots!" "I'm not sure I'm doing my job well." " I know and I understand." " How about this?" "We carry on with the lights on, and I promise not to ask any more questions" "Look, we'll grant all your conditions." "For us, carrying on this interrogation is vital." "But you need to understand that just looking at Mr Wang's face will put you in a very difficult situation" "Are you ready to pay the consequences?" "Going on in the dark is impossible for me." "I guess I'm ready for just about anything." "From discovering I'm in front of Yao Ming, who, in truth, is a dangerous terrorist, to being face-to-face with a Mao Tse Tung back from the dead!" "All right, then." "Open!" "Let's go." "Careful." "Sit down, please." "Are you ready?" "Yes." "Good morning, Miss Aloisi!" "Let me out!" "Let me out!" " Miss Aloisi!" "Calm down!" " Let me go!" "Let me go!" "Why are you afraid?" "I have no intentions of harming you." "I understand my appearance is out of the ordinary." "But I assure you, I'm only interested in communicating with you." "Let's continue." "His breathing seems regular." "His heartbeat as well." "At least, as far as we can understand." "His respiratory system seems perfectly adaptable to our atmosphere." "And his body temperature, too." "Plus, we took all the tests, toxicological, bacteriological, and on and on, through the whole list." "And it seems the subject is in no way contagious or radioactive." "In short, for all we have ascertained, there are no health risks for those who get close to him." "There is no need for special protection to be in his presence." "I realize it's fun to play the merry surgeon with such a unique subject but I need to communicate with him, understand who he is, what he wants!" " Can you wake him up?" " Absolutely!" "He seems to be in excellent health!" "Just a bit dehydrated." "But don't ask me how to communicate with him." "I come from a distant planet." "The voyage to planet Earth was long and difficult." "For our scientists, discovering the existence of another inhabited planet, five years ago, was an extremely important event, marking a new epoch." "We observed you from a distance until our government decided to organize my scouting mission to begin a programme of cultural, scientific and medical exchange." "Thanks to the invention of the..." "I would translate the word as "conceptual synthesizer", but..." "That's fine, it renders the idea Carry on." "Thanks to the invention of the conceptual synthesizer, through an immersion method, in a few weeks," "I learned what we figured was the most widespread language on your planet:" "Mandarin Chinese." "I've been in Rome two weeks, and I understood it was the wrong language." "Nevertheless, I hope to continue my mission of reciprocal understanding, hoping that it will usher an era of true and solid friendship between the populations of our two planets." "So, Mr Wang." "You don't mind if I continue to call you that?" "I would certainly be more pleased if you called me by my real name, but I'm afraid it's unpronounceable for you." "Right." "Of course, I understand." "Mr Wang, if you really came among us to bring a message of peace and cultural exchange, how come you hid from everyone for two weeks and then ran away from Mrs Amounike, the only person who saw you by accident?" "Please, don't." "I won't hurt you." " Police." " There was a monster in my house!" " Calm down!" "I don't understand." " A monster, a strange animal." "He went away, but you've gotta find him!" "Please, Ma'am!" "Try to explain yourself better" "Where would this... monster be now?" "How should I know?" "He's gone!" "He's a monster!" "You've gotta find him!" "He could be dangerous!" "What if he kills someone?" "Calm down, we'll send in the special forces now!" "The acceptance of the terrestrials was more difficult than foreseen." "So the idea of going back to her house to apologise was the first step in obtaining this acceptance from the terrestrials." "Correct?" " Exactly." " Bullshit!" "Why did you go back to Mrs Amounike's house?" "Aren't you translating?" "I'm not sure what I should do You seem terribly nervous..." "Translate, for fuck's sake!" "Why did you go back to Mrs Amounike's house?" "All right." " I already answered that question." " Oh, yeah?" "So then, let's do it like this, straight and simple." "Why did you come to earth?" "What do you want from us?" "Out with it, you ugly fucking squid!" " Answer, goddamn it!" " He doesn't feel well." "Calm down!" "Mr Wang says he doesn't feel well!" "All right." "Then ask him this, translate." "Why did he come?" "What do you want from us?" "Mr Wang, before proceeding with the translation," "I'd like to tell you that I don't approve of the methods he's using." "You are only doing your job." "Don't worry." "He doesn't understand why you are so aggressive, that he came in peace and had hoped for a different welcome!" "He says he doesn't feel very well and that he needs water!" "Tell him he'll have all the water he wants and even Champagne, or Coca-Cola if he prefers." "But now, he's got to tell us the truth." "I know I shouldn't butt in, but I can't understand why you won't let him drink." "Look at him, it's clear he's not well!" "Even if you suspect he's not telling the truth, I think..." "All right, all right." "Let's do it this way." "Now I'll ask him a precise question." "And if he answers, we'll let him drink, OK'?" "Let's try." "But look at him he's not well." "For all we know, he could even die." "What is this?" "Well?" "Translate!" "Water." "Please." "You're a real twisted bastard!" ""OPE" UP, please!" "Don't trust them." " What do you mean?" " Don't trust them!" "I called them and now they won't let me go!" "They'll lock you up here, too!" "They're a bunch of bastards!" " Hey!" " Or maybe..." "Or maybe?" "Or maybe they're not even what they say they are." "What do you know about them?" "So, are you finished?" "Yes, just a sec." "Excuse me." "Here's your water." "Drink." "How can I?" "I can't reach it." " He's tied." "You tied him to the chair!" " And so he'll remain!" "You give him the drink!" "That's not right!" "You have no proof!" "Yes, of course, you take the responsibility!" "Until we have proper information about him, he'll stay put right here." "Hey, you!" " Me?" " Yes, you with the camera, come!" "He came back for this!" "I'm positive!" "God only knows what the hell it is." "When I woke up, I saw him bent under the bed." "He was clearly trying to get something!" "I looked and found this gizmo." "He must've left it the first time, run away and forgotten it." "But this time, seeing how you didn't believe me, I was ready for him!" "Excuse me, give that to me, thank you." "Yes, yes, take it." "It's a..." "I've translated it as "Cosmic Communicator" but..." "I realise it sounds like it's out of a Japanese cartoon." "Anyway, it's a Cosmic Communicator, which is the only means of communication I have left with my people." "From this distance, I can only send a basic impulse, and it only really serves to let them know that I'm still alive" "It's the only means of communication with your people?" "Yes." "And if you wanted to return ahead of time, how would you arrange it'?" "My return is technically impossible." "I came to stay." "But I surely expected another reception." "What a sad stow!" "So, if I've understood you correctly, you came to stay with us without any chance of going back or communicating with your people, except through an impulse that shows you're still alive." "Is that correct?" " Exactly." " Crap!" "Bullshit!" "Now I'll spin you a yarn that more or less sums up what happened." "Then you can cross the "t's" and dot the "I's", OK'?" " Go ahead." " Very well." "Two weeks ago you landed on this planet, more precisely herein Rome, by some super-advanced means invented by your tentacled scientists." "Slow down." "And hold the sarcasm, as I'm not sure if I have to translate it." "Do what you think is right." "So, once you reached Rome, you went to the basement where Mrs Amounike lives because, according to your octopus spies, it was supposed to be vacant!" "Can I keep going?" "Yes, but "tentacled scientists" and "octopus spies" won't be translated." "Like I said, do it your way." "For roughly a couple of hours, before being discovered by Mrs Amounike, more than worrying about exploring this wonderful new planet or communicating with your new two-legged friends, you busied yourself doing something mysterious on the bedroom ?" "oor, where you started to dig." "Then Mrs Amounike showed up... ..and started to scream." "And you had to run away." "More or less correct." "I was forced to escape." "Why?" "Were you afraid that her screams would attract too much attention?" " Yes." " So we have reason to believe that, in these two weeks, you had found another hiding place, probably a backup location previously indicated by your octopus spies, not too far from Mrs Amounike's basement near St Peter's." "At this other place, you finished doing what you had started on the ?" "oor of Mrs Amounike's house, before you were so rudely interrupted by her arrival." "Once finished, you needed this gizmo, probably to inform your people that the job was done!" "But you had left it at Mrs Amounike's house, so you had to go and fetch it." "But this time around, she was ready for you!" "She gave your little, slimy head a good whack, Mr Wang, and knocked you out cold." " Then she gave us a call." " Police, good evening." "I want to report an of fence." "Someone came into my house while I was asleep!" "And this time around, we went to check." "Correct... more or less... up to here?" "Not all of your conclusions are exact, but those were my movements." "Good, now you will have to answer four precise questions, Mr Wang." "Now I'll ask all four of them one by one!" "Then you will kindly respond." "First:" "what were you trying to construct on Mrs Amounike's basement ?" "oor'?" "Which you must've surely built in the second place you hid in!" "Second question:" "where is this other place?" "Third question:" "before Mrs Amounike gave you a good beating, did you manage to push the big, fat alien button to inform your friends or do you still need to do it'?" "Fourth and last question, the most important:" "what exactly do you want from us, you and your people, Mr Wang?" "I don't know what he wants or what he's planning, but I'm scared!" "Who is he?" "Where's he from'?" "Why did he come to my house?" "Is he a dangerous animal?" "Is he intelligent?" "That's what we're trying to understand, Mrs Amounike." "We're trying to answer every one of those questions" "And your testimony will be very precious in the process" "So tell us, did he behave aggressively towards you?" "Oh, God, why are you asking me this?" "It's not like he jumped on me!" "But that doesn't justify the fact that a disgusting monster snuck into my house like a thief!" "You think he was up to any good?" "What were you trying to build on the ?" "oor of Mrs Amounike's house?" "I wasn't doing anything." "When you say I was constructing something, perhaps you mean that, in the house of Mrs Amounike," "I was preparing myself a place to sleep." "Where is this place?" "I'm unable to identify the place where I went afterward, but as you yourself said, it can't be very far from the house where I had initially arrived." "Before Mrs Amounike gave you a good beating, did you manage to push the big, fat alien button to inform your friends or do you still need to do it'?" "I don't see why you are so anxious to know if I've contacted my people." "Anyhow, no, I didn't have the time to use the Cosmic Communicator." "That woman struck me first!" "What do you and your people want from us?" "I was sent here to establish first contacts with the terrestrials in hope of a future reciprocal understanding." "I realise now such hopes were probably misplaced." "That's all a bunch of crap and none of it holds water!" "You're lying!" " How can you say that?" " Translate this:" "Mr Wang, have you ever seen yourself in the mirror?" " How dare you!" " Do your fucking job!" "Translate, and that's all!" " What are you insinuating?" " If you had seen yourself in a mirror, you would have realised that you don't exactly look like a typical Roman, and not even like any of the tourists who visit this city." "Therefore, I'd automatically exclude that you went roaming around the streets of the old center next to St Peter's Basilica, where Mrs Amounike's house is located, without a clue of where you were headed," "maybe in search of a hotel worthy of your fine alien self." "You undoubtedly went to a reserved backup location which had been organized ahead of time, a Plan B." "Therefore, where did you hide for two weeks and what did you prepare in that place, you ugly, fucking squid?" "And don't ask me for water until you've answered!" "Mr Curti!" "You have to stop being so aggressive." "Like this, you'll never get any answers from him." "Now look, Miss Aloisi, you are a very stubborn person" "Normally, an interpreter who, instead of doing her job, suggests what questions to ask and even the attitudes to take, would have to be fired!" "But I understand the peculiarity of the situation." " So I'll try to explain." " You don't need to explain!" "There are international laws that protect..." "I'm sure your humanitarian laws are in force at an inter-planetary level." "So, later, you can report me to the Supreme Galactic tribunal." "I'm afraid you haven't understood the situation." " No, I understand perfectly!" " No!" "No, no, you haven't understood." "Nor can you!" "We don't know what our friend here wants, but the risk that he's pulling our leg is enormous." "And if he is pulling our leg, what will you do?" "Will you explain?" "To the whole human race?" "Do you understand the enormity of the responsibility?" "This is a precise technique!" "You need to frighten the subject!" "Deny him the chance to think, make him fall into contradiction and keep the pressure on." "If he shows his innocence and we discover that he truly did come here to make friends, well, then we'll go with him to Piazza Navona for an espresso!" "And then maybe to do some shopping in Via Condotti!" "But now let me do my job, please." "OK?" "Let's return to the question, Mr Wang." "Where did you hide for two weeks?" " I can't say with any precision." " Liar!" "It's true, I can't locate the place precisely!" "Bullshit!" "Excuse me." "Hello?" " Do you feel all right, Mr Wang?" " Everything's fine, don't worry." "Sorry about this." "We're not all like this, we terrestrials." "Honestly." "I know." "But I'll clear my position, I'm sure of it." "Mr Wang, for the last time, I will ask you a question the old-fashioned way." "Then I'll be forced to change method." "It's in your interest to answer me precisely." "Why did you come to planet Earth?" "What do you want from us?" "We wish for mutual understanding, to acquaint ourselves with you and vice versa." "We are certain that both of our species would have much to gain." "Is that truly your last word?" "Yes." "Call in Mr Falco." "We have no other choice." "Right away." "Here we are!" "There are many different methodologies." "It depends on your time constraints and the sort of marks" " you are willing or unwilling to leave." " Mr Falco, you decide." "We don't have time to waste on technical details or scruples." " Well, as you wish." " I don't understand what you have." "You don't have to understand, you have to translate." "Mr Wang, there are a couple of things that we presently need to know from you as quickly as possible." "If you answer these questions without delay," "I'd be delighted to send Mr Falco back to where he came from." "All right'?" " You can't be serious." " Do you wish to avoid the worst?" "Then translate my questions!" "I'll be happy to answer your questions." "Why did you come to our planet, Mr Wang?" "What are the intentions of your people?" "We are a very peaceful population" "We came in peace to become mutually acquainted." "And there he goes with the Kumbayah!" "Let's skip straight to the second question which is probably more important." " All right." " I need a precise answer, not vague." "Where were you hiding the last two weeks?" "I'd like to answer more precisely to settle this misunderstanding of ours, but sadly I can't indicate the place with precision." "I understand." " Mr Falco." " OK." "Do you confirm your answers, Mr Wang?" "What are you trying to do?" "Are you crazy?" "Translate!" "I'll translate, but you can't!" "Nothing's happened yet!" "Translate!" "I confirm." "I have no other choice." "But what do you want to do to me?" "We don't want to do anything to you, Mr Wang." "What's he saying?" "You're insane, stop this torture!" "The human rights convention prohibits it." "It's called human rights." "Are you sure they include the likes of Mr Wang?" "Stop!" "There are laws!" "How do you think you'll keep me from talking?" " What's your friend saying?" " He keeps repeating the same thing." "I came in peace." "Why are you doing this to me?" "Then ask him this:" "why won't he answer my questions if he came in peace?" "No!" "I'm no longer translating!" "I will no longer be an accomplice to this!" "Wanna bet you will translate?" "Stop!" "Stop it!" "I'll translate, I'll translate!" "Sit down!" "What do I have to translate?" "Why won't he answer my questions if he came in peace?" "I'm answering the only way I can, the truth." "What else can I do?" "You're insane!" "You're murdering him." "If he's telling the truth, then what?" "We could be losing a unique chance." " Can you increase the voltage?" " Certainly." " Then go ahead!" " Very well." "Come in." "Mr Curti, can you come outside a moment, please?" "Excuse me." "Situation's out of control." "The worst is happening." "This is important." "I can't postpone it!" " No, I..." " Miss Aloisi." "Please, please." "As soon as I come back, we'll talk it over, OK'?" "Max, please." "Mr Wang, try to listen to me." "There's an organization called Amnesty International." "It's a group run by people who believe in a better world." "And it exists to put an end to the things that are happening in here." "What do you want to do?" " I just want to make a phone call." " And then?" "I don't know." "I don't even know where we are." "But if these people... they should be respecting the law." "Don't put yourself in danger." "It could prove to be useless." "We have to do what's right." "I need to use the bathroom." "I need to use the bathroom." "OK, leave the bag here." "I hope there's some toilet paper." " May I'?" " Wait for me here." "Shit!" "Excuse me, I left my bag in there." "You wouldn't happen to have 50 cents?" "It's useless, I already tried." "There's no signal." "There's no signal anywhere in this shitty place!" "Something happened, didn't it'?" "Something's changed here!" "Even/bedy'e uptight!" "I imagine the monster must've said something." "What did he say?" "No, he said he came in peace and doesn't have bad intentions." "Then how come everybody's so excited?" "Because they don't believe him." "Excuse me." "892424." "I'm Enrico, how can I help you?" "Good evening, I need the number of Amnesty International!" " Beg your pardon?" " Amnesty International." "Hurry!" "Would you like me to connect you directly?" "Yes, yes, please!" "Right away!" "Amnesty International, good evening." "What the fuck are you doing, you idiot?" "I heard a noise." "Going to check!" "OK, let me know." "Everything is OK." "False alarm" "If you're sure, go back to your duty." " OK." "Let me check the toilets as well." " Roger." "Thanks." "My pleasure." "I don't know what happened." "Even/bedy'e gone!" "They all went away." "Let's scram!" "Yes!" " Can you make it'?" " Yes." "What is it'?" "Wait, I left my bag in there." "Are you nuts?" "Who cares about your bag?" "There might never be another chance." "Let's get outta here!" "You go ahead." "I'll get the bag and be right with you." "You wanna set him free'?" "What do you care about that monster?" "Go." "I'll catch you later." "Do what you want." "You're crazy!" " Where is that man?" " I don't know, he ran out." "What's happening?" "Why these lights?" "They set off the alarm." "I think they're looking for me." "Maybe they figure I escaped." "Look." "Are you sure?" "It might only worsen matters." "If they catch us, they'll be even less inclined to believe me." "It looks like there's nobody left." "It might be our only chance!" "We need to go away, trust me." "I'll take you to Amnesty International." "You can explain your situation." "What I don't understand is why." "Why what?" "Why they seem so sure of themselves." "Why don't they want to believe you?" "I think it's hard for humans to accept my physical appearance." "Even you have difficulty coming close to me." "I don't know." "It can't just be that." "What, then?" "I don't know, maybe there are interests we can't understand." "Maybe these men aren't exactly who they say they are." "Here it is!" "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "I can't make it up the steps." "Go and call someone." "I'll wait for you here." "Come on."
