Where do you think you are going? This is a border.
– Please, I don’t have time for bureaucracy.
– Are you in a hurry?
– They are chasing me! They want to arrest me.
– I can have you arrested too. Give me your information.
– Let me introduce myself: I’m a human being. Just like you.
– I’m in no mood for jokes.
– Neither am I.
– You are not like me. I am a customs officer. You’re running from an armed conflict.
– What makes you think that?
– This border marks the border with a state at war. You come from there.
– A clue does not make a proof.
– And you wear the uniform of an army.
– All right. You’ve found me out. In fact, you didn’t need Sherlock Holmes to figure it out.
– Why aren’t you doing your duty at the front?
– War is not my duty. I will burn this uniform as soon as I find more clothes.
– Don’t you care about your country?
– People are more important than my country.
– Where is your rifle?
– I got rid of it.
– Why did you do that?
– I didn’t want to kill anybody.
– Does that sound like a good excuse?
– Do you not approve of my choice?
– I have to think about it. It depends…
– On what?
– What is your army?
– Why do you ask?
– Because the uniforms are not all the same.
– How are they different?
– There is the uniform of those who are right and there is the uniform of those who are wrong.
– I only know the uniform of those who were sent to war to kill.
– What flag did they send you to war for? The right flag or the wrong flag?
– Flags should disappear. Let me pass. I don’t want to participate in any massacre.
– Are you a coward?
– I am not. But a lot of people like to think so.
– Tell me who you are.
– I am a deserter.
