Quotes

Saul Berenson : I won't throw Carrie under the bus.
Dar Adal : Then just jump up and down on her really hard.
Saul Berenson : I'm serious.
Dar Adal : So am I. What do you see out there every morning when you come into work?
[Saul is silent]
Dar Adal : That's right. Not a crane, not a jackhammer, not a hard hat in sight. Just one ugly-ass hole in the ground.
Saul Berenson : I was up on the Hill yesterday, and there's funding for us in the appropriations bill. Work is...
Dar Adal : Bullshit. They started repairs on the Pentagon the day after 9/11.
Saul Berenson : So we're being punished. Maybe we deserve it.
Dar Adal : Punished? Saul, they want to put us out of business.
-
Saul Berenson : What time is it scheduled to start?
Dar Adal : Ten minutes ago.
Saul Berenson : I should be there myself, sitting right beside her.
Dar Adal : No, you shouldn't.
Saul Berenson : For moral support.
Dar Adal : It would've sent the wrong message.
Saul Berenson : Fucking Lockhart. He's had a hard-on for us ever since Abu Ghraib.
-
Saul Berenson : He'll go right after her.
Dar Adal : Yeah, he will.
Saul Berenson : What if she can't handle it?
Dar Adal : She can.
Saul Berenson : But what if she can't?
Dar Adal : Either way.
Saul Berenson : What's that supposed to mean?
Dar Adal : Only that her history of insubordination and mental illness might be more useful to us than a good performance in front of the select committee.
-
Dar Adal : You heard about Carrie today?
Saul Berenson : Yeah, I did.
Dar Adal : She's blowing it.
Saul Berenson : She got ambushed.
Dar Adal : It's a distinction without a difference.
Saul Berenson : Somebody's leaking documents to the committee.
Dar Adal : Who?
Saul Berenson : No idea.
Dar Adal : Well, what we need right now is big, honking win to take the pressure off.
Saul Berenson : Yeah. A win would be nice. Another fuck-up would be fatal.
-
Dar Adal : You did us no favors in there.
Saul Berenson : Meaning what?
Dar Adal : Meaning we can't be seen hand-wringing in front of the national security advisor.
Saul Berenson : We're just trying make the correct call here.
Dar Adal : Then make it.
Saul Berenson : I will.
Dar Adal : You brought every Agency resource to bear on identifying and locating these guys. What was that for if not this?
Saul Berenson : The admiral's right. Javadi's the guy we should be chasing.
Dar Adal : Nobody, not even the Israelis, know where he is. Our own analysts believe he died in the 2005 purges.
Saul Berenson : He's not dead.
Dar Adal : You know what I think? I think you're scared.
Saul Berenson : [derisive laugh] Six separate ops conducted on three different continents, an untested command and control team and a short clock?
