Quotes 

• Asst. F.B.I. Agent : [reading Jimmy's record]  Former Army Ranger, one Bronze Star in Desert Storm.

  Warren Taft : Police record?

  Asst. F.B.I. Agent : Served nine months in Chicago, battery. Some kind of... drug case.

  Warren Taft : Well, it's either drugs or guns.

  Asst. F.B.I. Agent : Sir?

  Warren Taft : That he's running.

  Asst. F.B.I. Agent : How do you figure guns?

  Warren Taft : Idaho, Dornham. Extremists. Right-wing militias. That's it. That's our way in. Domestic terrorism. This boy could be carrying high explosives. Planning another Oklahoma City.

  Asst. F.B.I. Agent : He could be, sir, but we don't have any evidence of that.

  Warren Taft : Well, get it. He's run across four states. It's gotta be something big.

• Asst. F.B.I. Agent : Why don't we let him through?

  Warren Taft : What?

  Asst. F.B.I. Agent : What's the harm? He sees his wife, he plays hoochie-coochie with his kid, we pick him up at home next week, nice and easy. No media, no hostile crowd, no problem.

  Warren Taft : You obviously don't understand the situation.

  Asst. F.B.I. Agent : Yes, I do, sir. That's why I said what I just did.

  Warren Taft : Well, you got two choices. You can stand here and do as you're told, or tomorrow morning, you can be fetching coffee for Dudley Do-Right.
