You do whatever you want, but don't mess with the Americans.
The thing is very simple. What we need to do is organize a coup.
What did Bautista do? He did a coup and in a single day, he seized power.
The thing here is that we must have the power.
The important thing is not to seize power, but to know what to do with power.
Yes, sir.
And that coup has to be based on principles.
Well, gentlemen, let's eat, Fidel isn't here, c'mon.
Argentine, give me a hand, come on.
I do not believe that we have to make concessions but rather establish conditions.
Sorry for the tardiness.
Hello, good evening.
This is Ernesto.
The Argentine doctor?
Pleasure.
Okay.
Let's have dinner.
Let's eat.
Twenty percent of Cubans live permanently unemployed.
One point five percent of landowners control forty-six percent of the land.
Half of the population lives without electricity and more than half lives in "bohíos".
Excuse me, what is a "bohío"?
A "bohío" in Argentina?
It's a...
A shack.
A shack.
Thirty-seven percent cannot read or write. Child mortality is through the roof.
Furthermore, while the henchmen of the dictatorship assassinate anyone who dares to protest,
public officials, the most corrupt, rob the people of hundreds of millions of dollars from the Public Treasury
and then deposit them into bank accounts in the United States and Europe.
The same thing happens in all Latin American countries.
In recent years, the economic balance between the United States and Cuba has favored the United States by approximately one billion dollars.
What does this mean? That this poor Caribbean island is helping to economically support the most developed country in the world.
Of course, as Martín said: if the United States takes Spain out of Cuba, we would have to take them out later.
Do you have a boat?
Money?
Not yet.
Soldiers?
We have managed to smuggle thirty to Mexico. And we will have more.
You think I'm crazy?
A little.
Very well.
A little crazy is fine.
Fidel had extraordinary faith that, once he left for Cuba, he would arrive.
And that, once he arrived, he would fight.
And in that, fighting, he would win.
And so, in November of fifty-six, we left Mexico in a leaky ship with eighty-two men on board.
Of those eighty-two, only twelve got to see the day of our victory.
