• General Valdini : I only suggest a military truce.

  Raoul Farrago : [In a state of acute agitation]  It is never military to retreat. Do you suppose I won these decorations by retreating?

  Dr. Eugene Norland Ferguson : [to Farrago, sternly]  Sit down, please.

  Raoul Farrago : He says that my soldiers rebel against me. Our supply lines are cut. Students riot. People rise up against me. People! People do as *guns* tell them!

  Senora Isabel Farrago : Do as the doctor says, *please*!

  Dr. Eugene Norland Ferguson : [to Dr. Nierra]  Sodium numinal.

  Dr. Eugene Norland Ferguson : [to Farrago]  Lie here. You need rest.

  Raoul Farrago : Rest? We're in a civil war, you understand. This is worse - far worse - than any other kind of war. Nothing destroys so much as civil war. Now, what is the answer to civil war? What stops it? Compromise? No! Truce? No! To give in? Never! The only answer is war. *Real* war, against an outside country. *Any* country. Everybody must come to the defense of his own country. Patriotism is a great weapon. Brother stops fighting brother when a stranger attacks. With one masterstroke we end this stupid civil war, we become valiant, courageous, defenders of our soil... patriots!

  Raoul Farrago : [starting to break down]  Doctor, I'm sick!
