English meaning: A citizen presses John, an American, to explain his country’s stance on war, assuming he supports it. John calmly clarifies he is just an ordinary citizen who personally opposes the war, and the conversation ends with both agreeing that killing should stop, even though John can’t fully satisfy the man’s suspicion. Afterward, others in the café keep discussing the topic and watching John, who pays and leaves.
