[Jerry goes to get out of the lift, but an angry looking Mac, having found out that he had trimmed the footage of a Genoa interview, confronts him at the door]

Mac:
You forgot about the shot clock.

Jerry:
Mac? [she pushes him back in, pressing the "G" button] Hey, easy does it.

Mac:
The shot clock jumps. From nineteen, to three, to two, to fourteen.

[There is no response from Jerry, and she gives him an impatient look]

Jerry:
He said it, Mac.

Mac:
How do you not understand what you've done?

[They begin talking over each other]

Jerry:
He said it before we were rolling, but I couldn't get it to say it on camera. He said it to me.

Mac:
We have to retract it. Do you understand this..?

Jerry:
Did Genoa happen? It happened. It happened.

Mac:
...That we invented evidence to support a story of a war crime. A WAR CRIME!

Jerry:
Maggie was there, she heard him say it. She's just fucked up. Yeah, it's a war crime, and it happened! We went into Iraq because he had these things. We don't torture, we don't use chemical weapons.

Mac:
No one... No one... No one... No one..!

Jerry:
I WOULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS ON ANY OTHER STORY, AND I WOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT UNLESS I WAS SURE!

Mac:
... Is ever going to believe us again.

Jerry:
[after a brief silence] I think I shouldn't say anything more until I've talked to a lawyer.

[They reach the ground floor, and he leaves]

Mac:
You're fired.

Jerry:
I know.
