Defense Secretary David Brice : It's a House of Cards. There is no Yuri.
Scott Pritchard : It doesn't matter. All the intelligence agencies believe that there's a mole in the Defense Department. You know the theory: that Yuri was sent here by the KGB while he was still in his teens. For all intents and purposes, he can pass as an American.
Defense Secretary David Brice : Scott, they've been talking about that for four years. It's the CIA's wet dream. There's never been a shred of evidence.
Scott Pritchard : But, now, there is. He was the man who spent the weekend with Susan. He was the man who killed her.

Scott Pritchard : Not exactly, I guess.
David Brice : All right. I'm a pain in the ass. But this one can do things for me like no other woman I've ever met.

Senator Duvall : I pride myself on being a man of forbearance and conciliation; but, if you fuck me on this, I'll crucify you!
David Brice : I am not your rubber stamp!
