Quotes 

• Mussawi : Bob, what do you know about the torture methods used by the Chinese on the Falun Gong? Huh? Method number one. What's your guess?

  [pause] 

  Mussawi : Water dungeon. Did you guess water dungeon? Number two method? Number two, twisting arm and putting face in feces. Not interested in two? Number three. Number three is called 'pulling nails from fingers'. What do you think Bob? Number three sound good to you? The purpose is to get the monks or whatever to recant their beliefs. What if I had to get you to recant? That would be pretty difficult right? Because if you have no beliefs to recant then what? Then you're fucked is what. You're going to give me the names of every person who's taken money from you.

  [rips off one of Bob's nails] 

  Mussawi : Oh that is dusgusting.

  Bob Barnes : Come on Jimmy, you're not one of those Koran thumpers!

  Mussawi : My name is Mussawi.

  [rips off another nail, then starts punching Bob] 

  Mussawi : You fucking fuck, fucking fuck, stupid fuck, what the fuck, this is a war! Fuck you're a PO fucking W! Give me the fucking names! I'm cutting his fucking head off. I'm going to cut your head off, Bob!

• Mussawi : Rumours of Bob but never Bob. It is Bob, right?
