Deputy Director Alvin Kersh:
(reading Doggett's report) "Super Soldiers, a Navy ship, a woman at the Department of Justice who drowned two men - All disappeared now, but which constitute a conspiracy like a cancer in the U.S. government." (flicks through the rest of the report) ..Not a mention of my name, John.
Special Agent John Doggett:
No, sir. I found nothing on you. Nothing damning that I could honestly include in my report, let me say. ..And 'cause I got nothing to lose, let me say that I know your hands are dirty on this, sir - filthy.
Kersh:
(smirking) That's why you're here - Take a last wild punch before the bell.
Doggett:
(begins removing his weapon and holster) There's one thing I can't figure, and then I'll be on my way (unclips his ID) - Is why you slipped that obituary under my door?
Kersh:
You think I did that?
Doggett:
Over and over in my mind, it had to be you. You're the only one who had a reason.
Kersh:
What's my reason?
Doggett:
You tell me - You looking to just get me fired, or get me killed?
[Doggett sets his ID and weapon on Kersh's desk, turns and begins to walk out]
Kersh:
..You ever hear of King George III?
Doggett:
(turns around, angry) You answer my question!
Kersh:
He was king of England when America declared independence in 1776. King George III kept a diary. On July 4th, 1776, he made an entry in it... 'Nothing Important Happened Today.'
Doggett:
What the hell does that got to do with me?
Kersh:
Revolution started. Things that changed the world forever - And even kings can miss them if they're not paying attention.
