Dialog

Ronald Reagan Now Mikhail, as we put our names to this document, let's remember that trust is built step by step... but verification is what keeps those steps going in the right direction.
US Translator Михаил, когда мы подписываем этот документ, давайте помнить, что доверие строится шаг за шагом... но проверка — это то, что сохраняет эти шаги в правильном направлении.
Mikhail Gorbachev Mr. President, verification is indeed crucial... but so is the political will to see this through when hardliners on both sides will call this a betrayal.
Soviet Translator Господин Президент, проверка действительно имеет решающее значение... но не менее важна и политическая воля довести это до конца, когда сторонники жесткой линии с обеих сторон назовут это предательством.
Ronald Reagan Let me say this plainly — the only betrayal would be failing to make our children's world safer than the one we inherited.
Mikhail Gorbachev Then let history record that on this day, two old men chose to plant trees whose shade they knew they would never sit under.
US Translator Тогда пусть история зафиксирует, что в этот день два старых человека решили посадить деревья, в тени которых они знали, что никогда не смогут сидеть.
