Tired of people's lives in my hands and I certainly don't want your life in my hands and I'm going to tell you, Christine, without me, life has no meaning -- I'm the best friend you'll ever have. And, once I have to pay, I'm standing with Jjara; I'm standing with those people. They're part of me. I'd never detach myself from any of your troubles. I've always taken your troubles right on my shoulders and I'm not gonna change that now. It's too late. I've been running too long. Not gonna change now. Maybe the next time you'll get to go to Russia -- the next time 'round. This is what I'm talking about -- the dispensation of judgment. This is revolutionary suicide. I'm not talking about self-destruction. We have no other road. I will take your call. We will put it to the Russians, and I can tell you the answer now, because I'm a prophet. Call the Russians and tell them and see if they'll take us."
