Guernica Quote

Teresa: [knock on the door]Come in.
Carmen: Teresa? These are the new journalists. Marco Navas. He works for a Portuguese newspaper. And these two are the oneswith the car that broke down.
Marta: No, it didn't break down. It was bombed.
Carmen: Marta Vonier, photographer from Le Figaro. And Henry Howell, from the New York Herald Tribune. American.
Teresa: I studied your writing at college. I... I think I've read it all. Short. Sharp. Very inspiring. Your style has evolved over time, hasn't it?
Henry: Well, I'm still a growing boy.
Teresa: I just read this article of yours about Bergara. You write of a battle at a castle where our soldiers were firing from the battlements. I think it was a pretty good piece. It's quite interesting because there are no castles in Bergara. Why? Why did you write it? Is it even about the truth anymore?
Henry: Well, maybe I got the name of the town wrong. There's so many.
Teresa: Don't play with us. For you, it's a story. But for us, it's life and death.
Vasyl: Obey the rules, Mr. Howell. They're simple enough even for you.
Henry: I'm sorry. You are?
