The Promise

"This is our opportunity, we will restore the great Ottoman Empire."

"It is very dangerous for Armenians right now."

"These Germans want your Sultan to declare a holy war."

"Mikael, you make me feel like I've come home."

Chris: "I've witnessed history."
Mikael: "How wonderful it must be to go back to the comfort of your American home and write about it."

Ana: "Tell me about Constantinople."
Mikael: "It can be magical. In the Grand Bazaar you could buy the finest fashions from Paris and London, the latest automobiles from America. It can be horrible too, just like any great city."
Ana: "Were you happy there?"
Mikael: "It was a different life."

Brad: "I hear a French accent."
Ana: "I lived in Paris for many years, but I'm a proud Armenian."
