Count Witte:
Imagine, sire, imagine - that you are a factory worker. You're really poor. Your belly is never full. You freeze eight months of the year. Your children have no school. No doctor! Your country taxes you! And sends your sons a continent away to die, on a piece of land, on the Pacific. Now, sir, Japan is a third rate power. If she defeats us, if, Port Arthur falls, we shall be disgraced in the eyes of the world and here at home we shall have an insurrection on our hands.
Tsar Nicholas II:
But, people love me Sergei Yulyevich.
Count Witte:
They want a constitution and the right to vote for an elected Duma. They're angry and they're serious.
Tsar Nicholas II:
Are you advising me to give my rights away?
Count Witte:
Advising you to stop - a hopeless war.
