hadn't thought it through.
He's moving across the tarmac.
But it appears something has
distracted the president...
...and he has stopped moving
toward the waiting motorcade.
I appears there's a little girl...
...trying to speak to the president.
It seems she's speaking
in... Is it Albanian?
Can we get someone to translate?
Dan, I think what she is saying...
...is that this wheat offering
is sort of ceremonial...
...and that it is the first sheaf...
...the first cut of the harvest.
I'm not proficient in Albanian...
...but the old woman is quite taken...
...as the president is
offering her the coat.
It is quite an emotional moment here.
/There comes a time in the
/course of human events...
/...when a threat must be answered
/with courage and strength.
/Our forefathers earned
/the right to be free.
/Now it's time to guard their dream.
/We guard our American borders.
/We guard the American dream.
/We guard our right to
/fight for democracy...
/...and keep our country free.
/We guard our American spirit.
/We guard the American dream.
/Our country's built on
/the rock of liberty.
/And we, as people must keep it free.
/It is for life...
/...liberty...
/...the pursuit of happiness...
/...freedom, 'tis of thee.
/We guard our American borders.
/We guard the American dream.
I loved the fat, wet Albanian broad.
Thank you.
You know why? It was understated.
You got lucky with the rain, too.
We had to divert the
plane to Boca Raton.
You should have come to
me. We have rain machines.
I'm a producer. I make rain.
Next time.
I have just gotten word...
...that the situation in
Albania is resolved...
...that it is resolved.
The CIA confirms...
...that our troops along
the Canadian border...
...and overseas are standing down.
I must take this opportunity to
call upon our president to say...
What does he mean, the
situation has been resolved?
He just ended the war.
He ended the war?
Why did he have to do that?
I think the CIA has
just cut a better deal.
He ended the war?
He can't end the war.
He's not producing this.
This is in bad taste.
Can we stop this?
Stop. It's over.
Can we stop this? Can we stop this?
Stop the choir.
It has been quite a week, Richard.
I can't remember when any
president of United States...
...was hit with the flu, a war...
...and accused of sexual
misconduct by a teenage girl...
...all in the same seven-day period.
This, of course, only days
before he runs for reelection.
We've just received information
from sources at the CIA...
...that confirms the
cessation of hostilities...
The CIA.
I thought they let us out too easily.
The war's over.
It's over. I saw it on television.
I have to sell my house.
The war is not over.
No. The war is not over. I saw it on TV.
That's what you hired me for.
The war isn't over until
I say it's over. Ok?
This is my picture. This
is not the CIA's picture.
You think you're in a tight spot now.
All right, Conrad. Try making The
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
- Tell it to him, King.
- Three of the horsemen died.
Hear what he's saying? Three
of the horsemen died...
...two weeks before the end
of principal photography.
This is nothing. This is nothing.
This is just Act One, "The War."
Now, we really do need
an Act Two, so we work.
Act Two.
- You know what it's like?
- What?
The Japanese. In the caves.
- Go on.
- Okinawa.
They didn't believe the war was over.
That's right. So, now we have
a guy who doesn't believe...
No, no. We have an American serviceman.
A brave American
serviceman is left behind.
A hero.
Oh, my God. I can't believe
it. What was I thinking?
We had a war. We forgot the hero.
You can't have a war
and not have a hero.
It's like we sent a Christmas card...
...and left out the...
What do you call it?
- Fruitcake.
- There you go.
All right. Let's work. Ok?
We got a guy who's left behind, so...
This is terrific. This
is lucky this happened.
He was
