Mitch Leary:
Watching the President, I - I couldn't help wondering why a man like you would risk his life to save a man like that. You have such a strange job - I can't decide if it's heroic or absurd.

Frank Horrigan:
Now, why would a man like you want to risk his life to kill a man like that?

Mitch Leary:
Don't you have a psychological profile on me yet?

Frank Horrigan:

Frank Horrigan:

Frank Horrigan:

Mitch Leary:
To punctuate the dreariness.
