[ As it happens, the boy's voice could be a little quieter, a little more distant - possibly, if he'd ridden in with a horde of the undead. ]

How do you... resign?

[ Slight pause. ]

When I tried to, they weren't the right words. Right sounding. Right on paper. Right to think abou - ...right. Sorry. That's impolite to ask all of a sudden, without a proper greeting. My bad.

[ A hint louder, more rehearsed - ]

Good day. Pleased to meet you. How do you do.

[ And now back to the pathetic old track. ]

If it's all the same to you: how do you resign from something like this?

I'm not Germany, so I wouldn't know very well. You might ask him instead.

[extradite]

I can't look up the German embassy for something like that. Besides... besides, there're no embassies.

[video]

[rakia]

I'm sorry, I didn't explain very well. I don't mean the embassy, I mean Germany himself.

[ audio ]

[extradite]

The... president?

[video]

[rakia]

Oh no, I mean Germany's personification.

[ audio ]

[extradite]

The... flag? What colours was it...

[video]

[rakia]

Not the flag, although the flag is very nice. Germany is a person, just like myself. I am Bulgaria, it's very nice to make your acquaintance.

I knew it. The first reasonable person had to be -


[ C R A Z Y ]

...right.

[rakia]

I understand it's quite strange and difficult for some people to accept, but it is very much true, I assure you.

[ Just going to go on smiling.... ]

[ audio ]

[extradite]

...what do most people say?

[video]

[rakia]

That it sounds crazy. [ He shrugs. ] And yet here we are.

[ audio ]

[extradite]

How do you know? That you're a country and not... not... you're not earth. How do you know?

[video]

[rakia]

We live alongside history. And our fellow nations, of course.

We change sometimes, but for the most part, we've been around a very, very long time and we know one another.

[ audio ]

[extradite]

So you're... friends who say the same thing.

[video]

[rakia]

[ He lets out a brief laugh. ] Hardly. Very few of us get along at all.

[ audio ]

[extradite]

But you're still - ...what I mean is. There're a lot of you, telling each other the same thing. It's easy to take something for true, if a lot of people say it.

[video]

[rakia]

Perhaps we are all taking it for granted that we are here in a place like this, yes?

[ audio ]

[extradite]

I'm resigning.

[video]

[rakia]

I wish you a great deal of luck with that.

[ audio ]

[extradite]

It's fine not to.

[video]

[rakia]

Why would I not?

[ audio ]

[extradite]

Why would you?

[video]

[rakia]

I'm sure many share your goal of leaving this place. I would also like to leave. There's a lot of business I need to take care of at home.

[extradite]

Flag watching?

[rakia]

[ His expression says he didn't get that one. ]

I can't say I do.
