One can prevent mildew by spraying with copper sulfate.
There are two classic solutions used...
in Bordeaux and Burgundy...
French provinces well-known for their wines.
Three treatments are necessary--
the first one when the sprouts reach twelve centimeters...
the second one just before or after the blooming...
and the third one a month later.
This spraying with sulfate is purely preventative...
and should never be neglected.
I'll conclude with the means of preventing mildew.
Like each year...
airdropped leaflets will be at your disposal.
Those leaflets will remind the peasants of the mildew...
deadly disease for the vine that appeared...
along with this new ideological disease...
that ravages men.
But the chief of police will develop this point.
Any similarity to actual persons or events is deliberate.
As the Under Secretary of Agriculture said...
three treatments are necessary.
An ideological illness is like mildew...
and requires preventative measures.
Like mildew, it is due to septic germs...
and various parasitic agents.
So the treatment of men with appropriate solutions...
is indispensable.
The first stage occurs in the schools, where...
if you'll pardon the metaphor...
the sprouts are still very young.
The second treatment occurs when they begin to bloom...
as college students or young workers.
The draft is the best time to spray...
and save the sacred tree of national liberty...
from the disease of ideological mildew.
Airdropped leaflets are telling our peasants...
of a new kind of ideological mildew...
beginning to ravage our land.
This new variety is spreading insidiously.
It's a sly enemy...
pushing us away from God and the Crown.
It's against this enemy that our action is aimed.
Don't take notes! It's all in our pamphlet.
With the outbreak of isms like...
socialism, anarchism, imperialism, or communism...
sunspots start to multiply...
on the face of the golden orb.
God refuses to enlighten the Reds!
Scientists forecast an increase in sunspots...
due to the arrival of beatniks and pacifists...
from certain countries such as Italy, France, and Scandinavia!
As head of law and order here in the North...
I wish to tell you who are high civil servants...
we must preserve...
the healthy elements of our society...
and heal those that are ill.
Tonight, the enemy's holding a meeting in our city.
But we are not an ism !
We are a democracy!
We won't forbid the meeting.
Nor will we forbid...
the opposition from demonstrating!
With these healthy antibodies, we must fight all diseases...
of the vine as well as society.
That's all I have to say.
Bear it in mind during the days to come!
Having lunch?
Rapidly.
I'll take you to your plane.
Thank you.
It's my pleasure.
Tell my wife I'll pick her up this evening.
An excursion for the Bolshoi ballerinas.
From Moscow?
The Bolshoi ballet is here for four days.
They open tonight.
Stay over. You can sit in my box.
I must return to the capital.
Ah, the capital. The palace.
The palace thinks well of you.
What if one of them chose freedom here?
Like that famous dancer--
No. None of that.
For freedom, they pick London or the U.S...
where the money's stable.
We have enough hotheads in town.
Enough problems.
Stop! Take that down!
No permits needed for a meeting indoors!
I don't want any trouble!
Get a permit to use the hall!
Do as I say!
Bring me your permit or meet elsewhere!
Take it down!
How can we find another hall now...
and tell 3,000 or 4,000 people about it?
It's a rally!
You signed the receipt.
Now it's unsigned!
Here's your check.
I'll pay you compensation.
You got threats.
I don't know what you mean.
You don't cancel a rental unless you're pressured.
You lawyers are--
Bozini, you're an honest man.
Who's behind all this? Why?
I don't want you in my hall, that's why!
If you don't like it, lump it.
There must be a reason.
My father died today, OK?
I'd gladly let you see it...
but the city inspector came by.
-When? -Yesterday.
The seats must be specially set.
We can set them this afternoon.
No. Fastened to the floor.
It will take a week at least.
Since when?
We cancel or meet in the street.
And without a permit.
That would mean instigators and cops.
We won't find a hall.
They'll all refuse.
I say, we have to cancel it.
He'd never agree.
We cancel it and go quietly off to bed...
or better yet, to the Bolshoi opening.
And we take him there, too?
And send his audience there?
You got a hall?
The Bolshoi.
A plot on the doctor's life.
Says who?
My wife.
Who told you?
None of my business?
What will we tell the police?
Don't hang up.
She won't say.
The guy didn't know the doctor's due today.
This is George Pirou.
You must tell us who--
Certainly not!
I trust him.
He didn't know about tonight's meeting.
He overheard a discussion.
He won't tell you. Me neither.
He's had enough trouble.
He has a family.
Now they know.
Now you know. So do something.
It's for you.
I know, darling. See you later.
What do we do?
Call the Red Cross.
Attorney General.
It's all quite vague.
An anonymous witness... an overheard conversation.
Maybe it's a hoax or a chronic liar...
like those who phone there's a bomb on a plane.
Who'd want to kill your president?
Marie, open the door.
Shall we go?
I'll call the head of security.
He'll provide protection... unofficially.
We've no basis for any action.
Yes, I'm interested in the Paris Commune.
I'm late.
You'll come to the theater tonight?
As for the hall, I can do nothing.
The colonel.
Property rights can't be infringed upon...
even though some may want to change that.
-Yes, Papa? -Niki, see to our guest.
In two seconds.
He's a fine magistrate.
