The government must speak for you, and the nation, which are the same. That is the law.

If you will give me a copy of the letter, I will have the foreign minister prepare a reply.

205

Do not speak to me of law. Not after what you have told me.

You carry a very heavy burden, Prime Minister. You carry the hopes and dreams of every Japanese alive today and those of our honored ancestors. You literally carry Japan upon your back.

165

You reign, I rule. That is the Japanese way.

154

Ignore it. No answer is necessary, Your Excellency. The president does not know his place.

141

Forgive me, Excellency. The fact you do not know is that Japan also is a nuclear power. I am convinced that Russia will not risk nuclear war to retain a wasteland that has never earned her a single yen of profit.
