At a time like this, the more people 
on your side, the better.
In solchen Zeiten ist es besser,
viele Kameraden zu haben.
En momentos así, entre más 
personas tengas a tu lado, mejor.
En ces temps troubles,
plus on est nombreux, mieux c’est.
In momenti come questo, più si è e meglio è.
Em tempos assim, quanto 
mais gente tiver, melhor.
Все согласны, что в такой ситуации
лучше иметь побольше союзников.
