"They should be here now." "I don't know what's detaining them." "Now passing - Tomainia's light artillery." "Hmm." "That's very light." "And here come the armored tanks..." " the pride of Tomainia's army." " [Tanks Wheels Grinding]" "The latest design, the last word in modern warfare." "Wait a minute." "Where's the propellers?" " Propellers?" " Sure." "For going under the water." " Tanks that go under the water?" " Submarine work!" "You never heard of aero-marine tanks that go under the water and then fly up-a-stairs?" " What's that?" " Tanks that go under the water and fly in the air." "Oh, yes." "Those are obsolete now." "We're concentrating on flying dreadnoughts." "Flying dreadnoughts." "Mmm." "[Airplanes Passing]" " What's that?" " My planes!" "Now passing - Hynkel's flying division number 34." "Our planes!" "[Plane Crashes]" "You're right." "They're yours." "## [Orchestra]" "Ah, Garbitsch." "The invasion of Osterlich." "It's all so simple." "Our troops, tanks and guns will be hidden along the border." "To disarm suspicion, you will go hunting - duck shooting or something." "At the appointed time, you will show up at the village of Pretzelberg... meet the army, step into an automobile and cross over into Osterlich." "Herring and I will be waiting at the capital to receive you." "First, Napaloni must remove his troops from the border." "That question will be decided tonight." "Where is Napaloni?" "I'll see if I can find him." "In the meantime... it might be advisable for you to dance with Madam Napaloni." "Huh?" "It'll carry weight." "You mean I will carry weight." "[Laughing]" "You find him." "Let me know at once." "## [Orchestra Continues]" " Madam Napaloni." " [Chuckles] Your Excellency." "[Chuckles] Why so triste?" "'Cause I no speak-a." "No?"

"I've been-a looking for you all evening." "What do you say we have a sandwich... go to some quiet little place where we can sit down and talk-a things over, huh?" " As you wish." " An excellent idea!" "Gentlemen, to the buffet." "Of course." "This way." "[Chattering]" " [Clapping]" " Oh!" "[Laughter]" "[Shouts In Bacterian]" " There's an old Tomainian proverb." " Mmm?" "[Speaking Tomainian]" "[Laughs] That's very funny!" "I wish I understand it." "Now, about the border situation." " Ah, yes, yes." "No problem." " Oh, it should be no trouble at all." " Shh, shh." " Not at all." " What's the matter?" " Wait." "[Clapping] Out!" "You two, out!" "Out." " Out?" " Out." " Out?" " Mm-hmm." "Out." " [Door Opens]" " As I was saying, about the border question." " Ah, yes, yes, yes." " Just a matter of detail." "Mere formalities." "Strawberries." "Pardon me." "Have you English mustard?" " English mustard, Your Excellency." " That's the hot-a stuff?" " Very hot." " Ah, good shape, good shape." " Cream." " Cream, Your Excellency." "Now, Hynkie, as far as I'm concerned, I'm gonna make this very simple." "This is the treaty - You agree not to invade Osterlich..." "I agree not to invade Osterlich." "We sign-a the treaty, then I remove-a my troops from the border." "Good." "In other words, when your troops are off the border, I sign." " That's-a right." " Very good." "[Exclaims] Oh, just a minute." "[Chuckles] You don't understand." "First we sign-a the treaty, then I remove-a the troops." "Precisely." "I sign when your troops are off the border." "Just a minute." "Hey, Spook, treaty." "Hold-a this." "Now, look." "You a-sign this-a treaty a-first... then I remove-a the troops after." " Well, what are we arguing about?" " You just said I remove-a the troops a-first." "You don't expect me to sign while your troops are there on the border?" "You don't expect me to remove-a the troops until you sign?" " Why not?" " Why should I?" " Why shouldn't you?" "Osterlich is a free country." " So?" "Your soldiers are there, on the Osterlich border!" "And they'll stay there until you sign this-a treaty!" " You'll take them off, or I'll blow them off!" " Mmm!" " Gentlemen, this won't get us anywhere." " [Shouts In Tomainian]" "Your Excellency, to quote an old Latin phrase " "[Shouts In Tomainian]" "[Napaloni Shouting] He's a-right!"

"Can't we sit down and discuss this thing without passion?" "I am not-a passionate." "I am-a just, that's all." "I want him to sign-a the treaty." "I'll remove the troops." "Can't you understand?" "What would my people think... signing such a treaty when your soldiers are there on the Osterlich border?" "I will not-a move a-soldiers until you-a sign!" "Not until you clear that border will I sign anything." " Then my soldiers remain!" " Then I kick them off!" "One move-a from you, Hynkie, and my artillery take-a like this and blow you to pieces!" "Yes, and my aeroplanes will bomb your artillery like that!" "You want to start a world-a war?" "I'll get you one!" "You and the world!" "I'll throw in the ocean!" " Mmm!" " Gentlemen, please!"

"Today, democracy, liberty and equality are words to fool the people." "No nation can progress with such ideas." "They stand in the way of action." "Therefore, we frankly abolish them." "In the future, each man will serve the interest of the state with absolute obedience." "Let him who refuses beware." "The rights of citizenship will be taken away from all Jews and other non-Aryans." "They are inferior, and therefore enemies of the state." "It is the duty of all true Aryans to hate and despise them." "Henceforth, this nation is annexed to the Tomainian Empire... and the people of this nation will obey the laws bestowed upon us by our great leader... the dictator of Tomainia, the conqueror of Osterlich... the future emperor of the world." "You must speak." "I can't." "You must." "It's our only hope." "Hope." "I'm sorry... but I don't want to be an emperor." "That's not my business." "I don't want to rule or conquer anyone."

"Greed has poisoned men's souls... has barricaded the world with hate... has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed." "We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in." "Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want." "Our knowledge has made us cynical, our cleverness hard and unkind." "We think too much and feel too little." "More than machinery, we need humanity." "More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness." "Without these qualities, life will be violent, and all will be lost." "The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together." "These very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men... cries out for universal brotherhood, for the unity of us all." "Even now, my voice is reaching millions throughout the world... millions of despairing men, women and little children... victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people." "To those who can hear me I say, do not despair." "The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed... the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress." "The hate of men will pass, and dictators die... and the power they took from the people will return to the people." "And so long as men die, liberty will never perish." "Soldiers, don't give yourselves to brutes... men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives... tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel... who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!" "Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!" "You are not machines!" "You are not cattle!" "You are men!" "You have the love of humanity in your hearts." "You don't hate." "Only the unloved hate." "The unloved and the unnatural." "Soldiers, don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty!"
