Dying of the Light

Evan Lake:
Mombassa: The a**hole of East Africa.

Evan Lake:
[the the CIA Director] You've got your head so far up Obama's ass that all you can see is his sh*t any more.

Evan Lake:
[speaking in front of new recruits] What the hell are you doing here? Haven't you heard? The CIA fell from the Berlin Wall and all the president's men can't put it back together again! It's broke! Not reliable. Not trustworthy. Can't stand up to the White House. Backstabbers. Watching porn, tapping phones. Best and brightest quit or retired. What in the name of Jesus Christ nailed to the cross are you doing here?

Evan Lake:
Because you heard the call. The future spread out before you like a cruise-ship buffer. You were teaching in a classroom, working in a kitchen, training in a gym, and you heard the call. For some it was adventure. For some, mystique. For all, it was 9/11 and you heard the call, and it was the call of duty and love of country. Why? Because you have values!

Milton Schultz:
[over the phone] Where are you? I'll come meeting you. [no response] Evan, where are you?

Evan Lake:
Diamond Tuesdays.

Milton Schultz:
You're at Ruby Tuesdays?

Evan Lake:
Yes, I'm at Ruby Tuesdays. That's what I just said.

Abdi Abikarim:
[working on Evan's disguise] The world is not a pretty place without makeup.

Muhammad Banir:
The truly dangerous people are the ones who follow orders.

Evan Lake:
You have a disease of the blood. My disease is in the brain.

Muhammad Banir:
What sort of disease?

Evan Lake:
I'm forgetting things.

Muhammad Banir:
Ohhh. There is a lot to forget.

[last lines]

Evan Lake:
The CIA has taken some hits. Some deserved. We've been down on the canvas, but we're on our feet again, because we've got no choice, and because our country needs us, and because we've got what? Values!

Evan Lake:
[entering Banir's home] Salaam alaikum, a**hole.
