- Marcella: Sir, they're very unhappy.
- Martin Q. Blank: I'm very unhappy.
- Marcella: It was supposed to look like a heart attack! He was supposed to die in his sleep!
- Martin Q. Blank: Well, he moved.
- Marcella: [Marcella dances around the office, pouring gasoline all over everything, pounding on computers with a hammer, throwing bits of equipment across the room, all the while humming cheerfully to herself. The phone rings]
- Marcella: Hello?
- Marty: Are we out of business yet?
- Marcella: [sing-song] I am taking down the office now.
- Marcella: You know, when you started getting invited to your ten-year high school reunion, time is catching up.
- Martin Q. Blank: Are you talking about a sense of my own mortality or a fear of death?
- Marcella: Well, I never really thought about it quite like that.
- Martin Q. Blank: Did you go to yours?
- Marcella: Yes, I did. It was just as if everyone had swelled.
- Marcella: [Carrying on multiple conversations over the phone] Okay, got it.
- Marty: Bye bye
- [hangs up]
- Marcella: Amelia?
- [the other line beeps]
- Marcella: Wait, hold on a second.
- [switches to the other line]
- Marcella: Pacific Trident Global. Janice?... Yeah, where the fuck is it? I ordered it three days ago... No, that doesn't work. That's, that's not right. Let me go over it again, alright? Let's see: 3,000 rounds of 9mm sub-sonic. You had that. I gave that to you on the fucking list!... Well I don't give a god damn where it is, you get it here now!
- [hangs up]
- Marcella: Amelia? I'm sorry... Yeah, no... No, I, it's not going to be a boring soup! It just, that's just the base! You put the chicken in, you gotta add other flavors. Carrots and celery are just a base of a soup!
- Marcella: As a graduate of the class of 1986, you are someone special. Remember, there's nowhere you can go that you haven't learned how to go in time. Whatever the hell that means.
- Marcella: So, you're gonna get out of there, right? I mean, that's not right. Right? You gotta get out of there, right? You're on a flight tonight, right?
- Marcella: We've got Steven Lardner, a.k.a. Steve, and Kenneth McCullers, no pseudonym. Steve was a red-shirt tailback from Ohio State. McCullers, all-American wrestler from Northwestern, MBA from the same.
- Marty: What are they doing here?
- Marcella: Well, they're domestic covert operatives for the NSA, up there as part of a new get-tough-on-terror campaign. They're looking for an Oswald, a patsy to take the fall.
