[_He lets the paper flutter to the floor._

Very good. He can find a new Prime Minister. I resign.


CHIEF OF STAFF

[_Turning abruptly._

No, you don't!


MINISTER OF WAR

[_Hotly._

We stick together in this. You are not going to resign.


PRIME MINISTER

My good friends, I am going to resign.

[_He picks up the paper off the floor._

Give me your seat at the desk. On the back of this ignoble parley, my
resignation goes to him.
