Siege

Agent Frank Haddad:
Sure beats the hell outta cable.

Sharon Bridger:
We're the CIA, something always goes wrong.

General William Devereaux:
The CIA didn't know the Berlin Wall was coming down until bricks started hitting them in the head.

General William Devereaux:
This is the land of opportunity, gentlemen. The opportunity to turn yourselves in.

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
You know, you are stupid enough to think that that's an insult.

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
"London. Paris. Athens. Rome. Belfast. Beruit. We're not the first city to have to deal with terrorism. Tel Aviv. The day after they bombed the market in Tel Aviv the market was open and it was full. This is New York City. We can take it."

Elise Kraft:
In this game, the most committed wins.

General William Deveroux:
This is a new kind of war.

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
William Devereaux, you are under arrest for the torture and murder of Tariq Husseini, an American citizen.

General William Devereaux:
Is this some kind of a joke?

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
You see me laughing, general?

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
Are you people insane? What are you talkin' about?

General William Devereaux:
The time has come for one man to suffer in order to save hundreds of lives.

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
One Man? What about two, huh? What about six? How about public executions?

General William Devereaux:
Feel free to leave whenever you like, Agent Hubbard.

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
Come on General, you've lost men, I've lost men, but you - you, you *can't* do this! What, what if they don't even want the sheik, have you considered that? What if what they really want is for us to herd our children into stadiums like we're doing? And put soldiers on the street and have Americans looking over their shoulders? Bend the law, shred the Constitution just a little bit? Because if we torture him, General, we do that and everything we have fought, and bled, and died for is over. And they've won. They've already won!

General William Devereaux:
Escort him out.

General William Devereaux:
Twelve hours after the President gives the order we can be on the ground. One light infantry division of 10,700 men, elements of the Rapid Deployment Force, Special Forces, Delta, APCs, helicopters, tanks and of course the ubiquitous M-16 A1 assault rifle. A humble enough weapon until you see it in the hands of a man outside your local bowling alley or 7-11. It will be noisy, it will be scary and it will not be mistaken for a VFW parade.

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
You think I want to lose them? You think I'm in the losing people business, huh?

Elise Kraft:
It's easy to tell the difference between right and wrong. What's hard is choosing the wrong that's more right.

General William Devereaux:
The Army is a broad sword, not a scalpel. Trust me, senator - you do not want the Army in an American city.

Agent Frank Haddad:
Microwave!

Sharon Bridger:
Samir! The Koran preaches...

General William Devereaux:
Go f*** yourself, bureau! I am serving my country. Why don't you try serving yours?

Agent Frank Haddad:
Hub, I think we're all eager to give our weekends up on this, I know I am... but it just occurs to me, has any one committed a crime here? I mean, assault with a deadly color...?

Sharon Bridger:
I ran the network in Iraq for two years. Samir recruited them from among the Sheik's followers and I trained them in the north. The Sheik was going to help us overthrow Saddam, I mean he was our ally. We were financing him. Then there was a policy shift. It's not like we sold them out exactly, we just stopped helping them.

Sharon Bridger:
They were slaughtered.

Sharon Bridger:
So I uh, quit the operation. I took another assignment.

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
But you helped them first.

Sharon Bridger:
What do you mean?

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
You said they were being slaughtered, they needed to get out, they were on the terrorist watch list, so you got them visas, you and Samir.

Sharon Bridger:
I promised them we would take care of them, they were working for us!

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
Doing what, exactly?

Sharon Bridger:
I told you!

Anthony 'Hub' Hubbard:
No you didn't. You told me that you trained them. Tradecrafts, subversion. That's what you said, wasn't it? You're leaving something out, aren't you Sharon? You taught them how to make bombs. That's why you were looking for the wiring signatures on that blue bus. And now they're here. Doing what they taught you how to do. Right?

Sharon Bridger:
You've got to let me... make this right! Please?
