Dick Gordon : National Security Agency.
Martin Bishop : Ah. You're the guys I hear breathing on the other end of my phone.
Dick Gordon : No, that's the FBI. We're not chartered for domestic surveillance.
Martin Bishop : Oh, I see. You just overthrow governments. Set up friendly dictators.
Dick Gordon : No, that's the CIA. We protect our government's communications, we try to break the other fella's codes. We're the good guys, Marty.
Martin Bishop : Gee, I can't tell you what a relief that is... Dick.

Buddy Wallace : Terminated, 1987. Why was that?
Martin Bishop : I don't know, I think maybe a personality conflict. Who are you guys?

Buddy Wallace : [opens another file] Then there's Martin Bishop...
[after a tense silence, he tilts the folder, showing it is empty]
