Robert Clayton Dean: What the hell is happening?
Brill: I blew up the building.
Robert Clayton Dean: Why?!
Brill: Because
you made a phone call!
[Watching
surveillance tape.]
Brill: I think you're a little young to watch this part.
Robert Clayton Dean: Yeah, so's she.
Brill:
What? That's my best aloha shirt.
Robert Clayton Dean: Yeah, well say "aloha"
to it.
Fiedler:
Rachel F., for you-know-what, Banks. God, would I love to have her ruin my life.
Fiedler:
*Please* let me follow the nanny. She doesn't shave her legs. Women like that
are so... HOT!
Robert
Clayton Dean: Actually, I believe the term "shyster" is reserved for
attorneys of the Jewish persuasion. I believe the proper term for me is "eggplant".
Robert
Clayton Dean: You're the only woman for me. You and Janet Jackson.
Robert
Clayton Dean: Why are they after me?
Brill: You have something they want.
Robert Clayton Dean: I don't have anything!
Brill: Maybe you do and you
don't know it.
Zavitz:
Fuck a duck.
Brill:
If you live another day, I'll be very impressed!

Pratt: We believe Mr. Zavitz may have passed sensitive materials to you.
Robert

David Pratt: Sensitive, sir.

Larry King: You've got no right to come into my home.
Brill:
Do they know me?
Robert Clayton Dean: Who's them?
Brill: Do they know
me?!
Robert Clayton Dean: I don't know what you're talking about!
Brill:
Either you are very smart or... incredibely stupid!
Robert
Clayton Dean: I have been a law abiding citizen my whole life, and one day with
you, I mean... shoot.
Blake:
Is it true you had an affair with Rachel Banks?
Robert Clayton Dean: You ever
beat off in the shower, Brian? Ever have any homosexual thoughts?
Silverberg:
Robert, I really don't think that's...
Robert Clayton Dean: None of my fucking
business, you're damn right it's not. I love my wife and I love my son, absolutely
and without equivocation, and that's none of your fucking business either.
Silverberg:
We think you need to take a break...
Robert Clayton Dean: Are you firing me?
Silverberg: I think you just fired yourself.
Robert
Clayton Dean: Planning a quick getaway?
Brill: Yeah. Ever since I met you.
Brill:
I need sugar. I'm getting cranky.
Robert Clayton Dean: Getting?
Brill:
You wanna take a poke at me?
Robert Clayton Dean: I don't hit senior citizens.
Brill:
In guerrilla warfare they taught us to use our weaknesses as strengths.
Robert
Clayton Dean: Such as?
Brill: If they're big and your little, then you're
fast and they're slow. You're hidden and they're exposed. You fight only the battles
you know you can win.
Selby:
Jones, Krug, what, are you guys from Communications?
Jones: No, we're Ops.
Fiedler: You can tell by their haircuts.
Thomas
Reynolds: What will it take for us to walk out of here with that video tape?
Pintero:
The end of the world.
Admiral
Shaffer: I want the entire history of this device, from birth to abortion on my
desk in 2 hours. I want the name of the tech who made it. I want to know who authorised
its use, who checked it out from inventory,
[hits the table]
Admiral Shaffer:
and for what purpose. And most important, how in God's green earth it got into
Congressman Albert's hotel room? Listen people, everyone knows where this is going.
If this was a legit op, and I can't imagine how it could be, then so be it. But
if this was someone's unilateral wet dream, then that someone is going to prison.
Congressman
Sam Albert: [On TV] We knew that we had to monitor our enemies. We've also come
to realise that we need to monitor the people who are monitoring them...
Carla
Dean: Well who's gonna monitor the monitors of the monitors.
Robert Clayton
Dean: I wouldn't mind doing a little monitoring myself.
Carla Dean: Yes, and
you've got lots and lots of monitoring to do.
Eric Dean: Are you guys talking
about sex?
Rachel
F. Banks: How do you like the trout?
Robert Clayton Dean: It tastes like fish.
Rachel F. Banks: It is fish.
Robert Clayton Dean: Yeah, but it tastes
like every other fish I've ever eaten.
Brill:
Yeah, go for it Mr. Congressman
Eric
Dean: I missed you too, dad. Where did you go?
Robert Clayton Dean: Oh, they've
been keeping me really busy on this case. They're trying to work me to death out
there.
Brill:
You're the threat now. Just like I was.
Robert Clayton Dean: Threat to whom?
To them?
Brill: No. To your family, your friends, everybody you know, everybody
you meet. That's why I went away and didn't come back. You've got to go away,
Robert.
Robert Clayton Dean: No, I don't think so. This is my life, I worked
hard for it and I want it back. I grew up without a father, I know what that is.
And I will not allow my family to go through that.
Pintero:
Listen to me, I want to know who made that videotape, but I want to know in a
week or I'll kill you.
Congressman
Phillip Hammersley: Telecommunications Security and Privacy Act. Invasion of privacy
is more like it.
Brill:
You're either incredibly smart or incredibly stupid.
Robert Clayton Dean:
We'll see in a minute. Watch out for the feds.
