Herzog
termination

Standish: Herzog, you just can't barge into a meeting-- Herzog: Admiral, I will turn this department upside down if I don't get some accountability for this. Standish: Ensign, call security. Herzog, come on... you can't stomp into a meeting that's already taking place. Admiral: Herzog, what's this all about? Herzog: It was my understanding that wetwork required executive authorization. Standish: Oh God... come on, not this again. Admiral: Wetwork? I didn't authorize the termination. What are you talking about? Herzog: I'm talking about a black op! On the roof, of a 22 year old analyst's apartment! Standish: That's preposterous. Admiral: What black op? Herzog: The one that my security eliminated. Standish: Heh, you've got no proof my friend. Herzog: You want me to drop his smoking boots on the desk? Of course I've got proof! Admiral: Standish, shut up. Herzog, sit down. Standish, you're dismissed. Standish: Admiral--! Admiral: Close the door as you leave. (leaves)

assassin

Admiral: Thank you Colonel. I'll look into this matter immediately. You're dismissed. And, send in Standish on your way out.<BR> Herzog: Thank you Admiral.<BR> (leaves)<BR> Herzog: Standish, the Admiral wants to see you.<BR> Standish: Herzog, this is a mistake.<BR> Herzog: (face to face) No, Standish. The mistake was putting an assassin on a 22 year old girl's rooftop.<BR> Standish: Even if there was an assassin--<BR> Herzog: Because you put one there for political reasons. Because you were afraid of what an investigation might do to your career.<BR> Standish: Oh, not my career Herzog. Oh, and before you go getting on your moral high horse, who is using that 22 year old girl?<BR>

my_conscience

Herzog:  And who is hiding the most powerful object ever to fall into our hands?<BR> Standish: There is a war going on my friend.<BR> Herzog: For us to remain human, not slaves. For us to be free people.<BR> Standish: My conscience doesn't keep me awake at night, Herzog.<BR> Herzog: That's very frightening, Standish. Mine keeps me awake every night.<BR> Admiral: (from the office) Standish...<BR> Standish: Watch your back, Herzog. Because I'm not going to let you or anyone else lose this war.<BR> (leaves)
