— Eight years ago, this guy was on the hit list.
— Budget cuts, dear. Congress blinded us overseas. I was forced to turn to any eyes and ears I could find even if that meant recruiting the quote-unquote "bad guys" here.
— Budget cuts, is that what this is about? Operation Honeymoon. Fuck me. You're running a fundraiser.
— Fundraiser?
— 1993. World Trade Center bombing, remember? During the trial, one of the bombers claimed the CIA had advanced knowledge. The diplomat who issued the terrorists' visa was CIA. It's not unthinkable they paved the way for the bombing purely to justify a budget increase.
— You're gonna fake some terrorist thing just to scare some money out of Congress?
— Well, unfortunately, Mr. Henessey, I have no idea how to fake killing 4000 people. So we're just gonna have to do it for real. Oh, blame it on the Muslims, naturally. Then I get my funding.
