[The "Bloody Sunday" massacre has just occurred.] Tsar Nicholas II : How many dead? Prime Minister Witte : Sir, we are still counting; but it is estimated to be in the hundreds. Tsar Nicholas II : Who gave the order to fire upon them? Prime Minister Witte : Your Majesty, nobody ordered it. Tsar Nicholas II : You run this government. Somebody had to have ordered something! Prime Minister Witte : Would you have gone out to meet them? Tsar Nicholas II : Of course not. Prime Minister Witte : Would you have given them a Duma? Allowed them to have elections? Had schools and hospitals built for them? Tsar Nicholas II : How could I? Prime Minister Witte : Then why bother to inform you about this? You would not have done anything!
