SELECTED

Woodrow Wilson

primary

A tall, lean man in his early 60s with a gaunt, angular face, high forehead, and piercing gray-blue eyes. His posture is erect but slightly stiff, a remnant of his academic bearing. His hair is graying and neatly combed, with a distinctive pair of pince-nez glasses perched on his nose.

Georges Clemenceau

primary

A wiry, middle-aged man of 78 years with a sharp, angular face framed by a neatly trimmed white beard and mustache. His piercing dark eyes convey both intelligence and a formidable will. His posture is upright despite his age, exuding a sense of unyielding determination.

David Lloyd George

secondary

A middle-aged man of average height with a wiry build, sharp features, and a prominent mustache. His piercing blue eyes convey both intelligence and a calculating nature. His hair is thinning but neatly combed, and his posture suggests a man accustomed to both charm and command.

German Delegate

secondary

A middle-aged man of average height with a lean, somewhat gaunt appearance, his face lined with the stress of recent events. His dark hair is streaked with gray, combed back neatly but showing signs of dishevelment from the tension of the moment. His piercing blue eyes are shadowed with fatigue and resentment.

French Officer

background

A tall, middle-aged military officer with a stern, chiseled face, sharp blue eyes, and a neatly trimmed mustache. His posture is rigid, reflecting years of military discipline. He has broad shoulders and a lean, athletic build, typical of a career soldier.

Dialog

Woodrow Wilson The League must stand as the bulwark against future conflicts, Georges. Without it, this treaty is but a temporary salve on a festering wound.

Georges Clemenceau Salves and sermons won't keep the Germans from our throats in twenty years, Wilson. Iron and gold will.

David Lloyd George Gentlemen, let us not mistake severity for security. A peace built solely on vengeance builds its own gallows.

Georges Clemenceau Then let the Germans furnish the rope. They've certainly given us enough corpses to hang it from.

Woodrow Wilson Must every clause be dipped in vitriol? The world looks to us for moral leadership, not... accounting ledgers of suffering.

Georges Clemenceau Ah, but morality doesn't rebuild railroads or fill empty chairs at supper tables, does it?

David Lloyd George For God's sake, let's finish this before the ink turns to blood.
