FADE IN:
INT. DINING-ROOM, YALTA, 1945 - EVENING
Joseph Stalin, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston S. Churchill are sitting around the table. They just have had their dinner.
Joseph is having a glass of red wine. Winston is smoking his cigar and Franklin eating a piece of orange. “The Yalta Conference Agreement February 11, 1945. Protocol of Crimea Conference” that they have to sign on the table in front of them.
WINSTON
(contented)
There’s nothing better than to take a good whiff of Romeo y Julieta or La Aroma de Cuba.
(he pauses)
Now when we have Europe under our feet.
Winston puffs out a great deal of cigar smoke.
JOSEPH
(taking a sip from his glass)
Winston, I would say there is nothing better than a glass of good Georgian wine. Like this one!
He rises his glass. Franklin looks at Joseph.
FRANKLIN
Khvanchkara.
(looks at Joseph’s glass)
Chin-chin Joseph!
Joseph reacts to Franklin’s chin-chin. Franklin mingles around with his half-eaten orange.
JOSEPH
Winston, when we have Europe you can have Cuba.
(pointing at his cigar)
Winston bursts into a good English laugh.
WINSTON
That one can wait! I have between 3000 and 4000 Cuban cigars stocked back home in Kent.
Franklin puts away his orange. Takes the protocol from the table.
FRANKLIN
Joseph, Winston we have to sign this if we have agreed.
Franklin cocks his eye. Joseph points at the protocol.
JOSEPH
We want the southern part of Sakhalin and Kurile Islands.
(he takes another sip)
To protect the “motherland” from future aggression.
Franklin opens corespondent chapter in the protocol.
FRANKLIN
(to Joseph)
It says you get it if you help us in war against Japan.
JOSEPH
Shall do so Franklin!
Winston observes both of them talking.
WINSTON
Joseph what about Poland?
JOSEPH
What about it Winston?
WINSTON
I don’t know. You tell me!
JOSEPH
(reluctantly)
Alright Winston! We will held democratic elections.
(thinks for a while to himself)
We’ll call this new government the Polish Provisional Government of National Unity.
Franklin is looking for a pen in his pockets. He finds one and takes it out, puts on the table.
FRANKLIN
(exultantly)
In my favorite Bible passage St. Paul’s Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 13.
(inhales and stands up)
It says: “Love does not insist on its own way. It is not irritable or resentful. It does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.”
(he pauses, lifts up the protocol)
Gentleman let’s sign this for new future and map of Europe!
Winston and Joseph claps.
JOSEPH
Bravo Franklin!
Joseph lifts up his glass and takes another sip of wine from it.
JOSEPH
One more thing. What about remaining forces of German Army in Berlin? Their communication lines?
Franklin looks at Winston. Winston puffs out his cigar smoke.
WINSTON
Any suggestions Joseph?
JOSEPH
Let’s open fire-bombing in Dresden as soon as possible.
WINSTON
(relaxed)
When is that Joseph?
Joseph thinks for a moment, looks at Franklin. Franklin grants him an inquiring glance.
JOSEPH
At night between 13th and 14th of February?
Winston and Franklin nods in agreement.
FRANKLIN
(handing pen to Joseph)
Let’s sign this gentleman!
Joseph snaps on it his signature, then gives the protocol to Winston. Winston signs it and hands back to Franklin. Franklin signs it as last one.
FADE OUT.
