When the honor of our country is at stake--


KING

[_Impatiently._

But nobody is attacking our honor!


PRIME MINISTER

[_Bluntly._

The case is as I said. We need this war, and we must have it.


KING

[_Torn by his conflicting desires._

I cannot let you resign. There is no one else I can trust as I trust you
three. But not war, not war!


PRIME MINISTER

I am a lover of peace, but the time has come when we must have war.
