I work with him. I'm his translator.

- How can he treat you like that?

- This is crap! I hate that old fart!

Listen, I pity you.

What can I do?

What the hell am I doing here?

Damn it!

If they didn't pay me

I'd leave in a heartbeat!

- Good evening.

Dear ladies and gentlemen.

I'm very pleased

and happy to meet you -

- in such an auditorium.

There is only one thing

that embarrasses me.

When what I've done is labelled

as something heroic.

The worst part of my job

that night was -

- that I had massive doubts about

whether or not my decision was right.

But, fortunately I was right.

And I am very happy

to see you all here today.

Smiling and in good health.

Our world has never been closer-

- to complete catastrophe

than it was in 1983!

Even the tiniest spark -

- could have meant

the destruction of our civilisation!

That's why we all have to remember-

- as long as both sides keep

their nuclear arsenals -

- the danger of nuclear war

can't be excluded!

Can you imagine nuclear weaponry

ending up in the wrong hands?

Especially if it ends up

in the hands of terrorists?

Then the amount of lives lost would

not be in the thousands, -

- but millions.

- Do you think it'll happen?

- Yes, of course it will happen.

Sooner or later it will happen.

It's just a matter of time

before a city like this -

- may have nuclear weapons

dropped on it.

It's only a matter of time.

Where have you been?

I thought he had killed you.

Yes, can you imagine, killed me.

I kept calling you every night, but

you never called me back.

Yes, we were busy with the Colonel

because he was meeting the stars.

We met Matt Damon

and he was shaking his hand.

"Who's that young man?"
