U. S. Ambassador:
We're not involved, Mr. Horman. Our position has been completely neutral.
Ed Horman:
That is a bald face lie, sir. How can you say a thing like that when you have army colonels, you have naval engineers, they're all over Viña del Mar.
U. S. Ambassador:
Please sit down. Look, it's very obvious you're harbouring some misconception regarding our role here.
Ed Horman:
What is your role here? Besides inducing a regime that murders thousands of human beings?
U. S. Ambassador:
Let's level with each other, sir. If you hadn't been personally involved in this unfortunate incident, you'd be sitting at home complacent and more or less oblivious to all of this. This mission is pledged to protect America interests, our interests.
Ed Horman:
Well they're not mine.
U. S. Ambassador:
There are over three thousand US firms doing business down here. And those are Americans interests. In other words, your interest. I am concerned with the preservation of a way of life.
Captain Ray Tower, USN:
And a damned good one.
Ed Horman:
[Staring out the window] Maybe that's why there's nobody out there.
U. S. Ambassador:
You can't have it both ways.
