Munich - Negotiating Values and Trust in Conflict
Golda Meir:
Every civilization finds it necessary to negotiate compromises with its own values.
Papa:
The race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong but time and chance happens to them all. Evil falls suddenly, who can say when it falls?
Mossad Accountant: [he emphatically slams his hand on his desk]

You are not working for the Baron Rothschild; you're working for Israel, a small country! I'm an old Galicianer from a mud hut in the Ukraine, and I don't trust Yekke putzes let loose in Europe with unlimited operational expenses!
