"Can you find all those crimes of Vietnam? I do not defend Vietnam. I have said that I recognize Vietnam for liberating the Cambodian people from the claws of the Khmer Rouge. I said it, it is that. And I have condemned Vietnam for not favoring a general distribution of aid. You have not mentioned the condemnation of Vietnam by Sihanouk."

"But Samdech Euv, you do not seem to realize that the Vietnamese are not here to pull the Khmer people from the claws of the Khmer Rouge. They are here to finalize the genocide started by the Khmer Rouge."

"I have not at all absolved Vietnam. I condemn it. I condemn it! Regarding the colonization of Cambodia..."

"You both understand, you both could say that the vietnamese should flee in the briefest period."

"But, precisely, I complained, did not I, I complained to Vietnam about the very bad system of distribution, and I said that Vietnam wanted to starve the Cambodian people to claim our lands, I have said....I can...but you do not bother to read all that, you do not take but one detail."

"Do you remember Security Minister Kou Roun, your police officer who has massacred many Cham, who has tortured the Cambodian nationalists that fairly protested against the corruption of your regime? Do you remember Mr. Khieu Samphan, who Kou Roun's police stripped naked in plain sight in Phnom Penh? Since Khieu Samphan has returned to power, the vendetta has been terrible. Three million dead, Prince. It is undeniable, Prince, that you too are responsible for all this drama. But, see, we still support you, (okay, that's enough, pass the microphone) we still support you, Prince, I admire your nationalism, but please, for pity's sake, we want to help you, the youth, we the new blood with new ideas, discuss with you the problem of the liberation of Cambodia, but it is not possible with an entourage of criminals and corrupt characters. Thanks."

"Thank you, sir, very good. We have understood. Prince?"

"I am for the Cambodian people to decide, and that they then leave me alone. I do not want to be the victim of people with extremely unjust ideas, in my view, anymore. You and I could, still, like this, offer the world the spectacle of a dispute hall that is extremely disgusting, yes? Excuse me. It is not my goal coming here, I do not want to give rise to this rancor. And well, allow, tell everyone to allow me to simply leave. I will not bother you more. Now, I will deliver a present to everyone present. I will depart for Korea and it is done. Are you content now? It is that."
