Capt. Faruk Bey: Captain Faruk, Izmir, you summoned me sir.::Minister of Military Affairs: My son, you haven't saluted English military police officer Lt. Miller last night in Beyoglu is it true?::Capt. Faruk Bey: True sir.::Minister of Military Affairs: I guess you hadn't seen him, thats why you didn't salute him isn't it my son?::Capt. Faruk Bey: No sir. I had seen him. His rank was lower. According to the army traditions, he should have saluted me first.::Minister of Military Affairs: There is no tradition left my son. Those men are using every advantage of their victory. They sent a protest about the event this morning. It is not time to cause issues. Find Lt. Millet as soon as possible and apologize him.::Capt. Faruk Bey: Will I apologise him?::Minister of Military Affairs: Yes apologise and let this one go.::Capt. Faruk Bey: Look Pasha, I was a lieutenant in Balkan War. I became a first lieutenant in Canakkale, captain in Syria. There are rights of thousands of ghazis and martyrs on every rank of mine. It is a duty of honor of mine to protect their rights. Forgive me. I can't apologize the English lieutenant.::Minister of Military Affairs: Captain, you didn't understood I guess. I order as the Minister of Military Affairs.::Capt. Faruk Bey: I did sir. [pulling off the ranks from the uniform] . From now on I am free not to obey your orders. With your permission Pasha, your excellency. [the higher ranked war committee officers salutes him as he leaves the room]

Marsl. Gazi Mustafa Kemal Pasa: Yes Baki Bey. [Baki Bey enters the room]::Lt. Baki Bey: Excuse me.::Marsl. Gazi Mustafa Kemal Pasa: What happened?::Lt. Baki Bey: An agent of Zharoff has contacted to our underground. They will deliver anything we require in Mersin. They also accept the payment to be made after the war. In order to make the deal Istanbul seeks your orders.::Marsl. Gazi Mustafa Kemal Pasa: We can finish the war by taking benefit from such opportunities but they will put us under heavy burden. We are poor because we haven't robbed the world. They are forcing us to sell our future by takint advantage of our situation. Inform Istanbul... They will refuse the offer and break the contact. Kid, in order not to be under debt, even we are nearly starving, we gave 600 tons of grain to Soviets.

Gen. Ismet Pasa: Is there something, Asim Bey?::Officer Asim Bey: Yes Pasha.::Gen. Ismet Pasa: What?::Officer Asim Bey: Opponents didn't join the elections. The period of the Supreme Military Command haven't been extended because of the absence of majority.::Gen. Ismet Pasa: o the supreme military commandment of Mustafa Kemal has ended. He hadn't even asked for it. The assembly which he encouraged to be founded, demanded it. Has it been given? No. His nation which he reunited under the flag of independence, the nation he rallied with their lives and wealth... He has beaten an army which was a tool of imperialism. He saved everything that is holly. If they were human beings they would eternally be thankful for these services. Ah come on, there can't be politics at the cost of homeland!

Marsl. Gazi Mustafa Kemal Pasa: [Mustafa Kemal was entering a house through a large crowd. There is Greek flag laid on the floor] What does it mean?::Daugher of the house: Please Pasha you should do as they did.::Lady of the house: King entered this house walking on our flag.::Marsl. Gazi Mustafa Kemal Pasa: He made a mistake by violating the symbol of a nation. I will not make that mistake. [to the corporal] Take it, kid::Corporal: As you command, Pasha.

Nurettin Pasha: [after the victory of Halit Pasha, taking Greek army and its commanders as prisoners in Mudanya] I think we also should attack Canakkale and Istanbul as soon as possible to get rid of English.::Gen. Ismet Pasa: Let me tell something to you, Pasha. Ottoman Empire was collapsed just because of these improperly considered ambitions.::Marsl. Gazi Mustafa Kemal Pasa: Definitely we will advance to Canakkale and Istanbul but not to defeat them. We will force the allieds, especially English to ask for peace. If English are dare to fight, let them shoot first.
