Helena

Fabry

It isn't too late. It will be a little State with one ship. Alquist will build us a house and you shall rule over us.

Hallemeier

Helena

[Breaking down]: Oh, stop! Stop!

Busman

Good! I don't mind beginning all over again. That suits me right down to the ground.

Fabry

And this little State of ours could be the centre of future life. A place of refuge where we could gather strength. Why, in a few hundred years we could conquer the world again.

Alquist

You believe that even to-day?
