These are my Kalashnikov kids, my boy brigades. I can see what you are thinking, but we need every man we can get.

Even if they're not men?

A bullet from a fourteen-year-old is just as effective as one from a forty-year-old. Often more effective. No one can stop this bath of blood.

It's not "bath of blood." It's "bloodbath."

Thank you, but I prefer it my way. I am not going to pay your asking price. We are not a rich people. Besides, the market is already flooded with your Kalashnikovs. Do you realize in some parts of my country you can get one for the price of a chicken?

But you can't just look at the unit of price. You forget ancillary costs. End user certificates need to be forged and notarized, shell companies set up, insurance purchased, pilots and crews hired, not to mention the bribes! You can't get a nut and bolt out of the Eastern Bloc without a bribe. There's one bribe for the nut, another for the bolt. Andy. Andy! Listen to me! This is an expensive proposition!

"Andy". I am going to pay you in timber or stone.

[Baptiste reaches out, opens his hand, and scatters a fistful of diamonds on his desk.]

I'll take the stones. It's kinda hard to get a tree trunk into my hand luggage. I know you're planning a new offensive. If you can delay a week, I can get you armored personnel carriers. They'll greatly reduce your casualties, and give you a significant strategic advantage.

[Andre Baptiste Sr. looks at Yuri for a moment, visibly impressed.]

You know, they call me the Lord of War. But perhaps it is you.

It's not "Lord of War", it's "Warlord".

Thank you, but I prefer it my way.
