Quote
[Ed Wilson at his desk in his office, Phillip Allen opens the door]
Philip Allen:
May I come in?
[Allen walks in, signals around, Ed starts bug countermeasures]
Philip Allen:
You know I've never been in your office.
Edward Wilson:
How was the fishing?
Philip Allen:
It was a bad year. The water's too high.
[walks closer]
Philip Allen:
I understand you wanted to give me the Operation Zapata list yourself. There isn't one, is there?
Edward Wilson:
You know it was a silent operation.
Philip Allen:
It wasn't silent enough.
[pause]
Philip Allen:
I've been asked by the President to suggest who we no longer need with us.
[pause]
Philip Allen:
Who would you recommend, Edward?
Edward Wilson:
I serve at the pleasure of the director, Sir.
[Allen exhales loudly]
Edward Wilson:
I'm just the gatekeeper.
Philip Allen:
Why is it that people like us choose to serve for nickels a day in a profession that makes us constantly look over our shoulder to see who is watching us?
Edward Wilson:
When will you make a decision?
Philip Allen:
I serve at the discretion of the President of the United States. I will do what I think is best for the country.
[Turns around. Walks towards the door]
Philip Allen:
It's important we find out who's responsible. Good night.
Edward Wilson:
Good night.
