Most scenes with: Thomas (6)
Julia Where the hell is my military liason?
Colonel Thomas Devoe reporting as ordered, ma'am. I'm sorry about in there. Sometimes, my enthusiasm gets the better of me.
Julia No problem. Would you like some coffee?
I'd love some.
Julia It's over there.
Julia You will not take action without authorization.
What do you think I am? Some gung-ho, stupid son of a bitch?
Julia No, I don't think you're stupid. I think you're a talented solider with sloppy impulse control. And I don't want you provoking an international incident because of a personal agenda.
My personal agenda is my business. Now, you're not in Washington anymore. You are in the real world. And in the real world there are nuclear arms heading for Iran. So whether you agree with me or not, get me authorized!
I'd like to know something. You moved from Lawrence Livermore to the White House. So, first you build the bombs to blow up the entire world, and now you want to save it. Make up your mind: which is it going to be?
Julia Well, I believe this week we're saving it.
Julia So, do you think he set us up?
Who?
Julia Your friend.
No.
Julia How can you be so sure?
Because he's my friend.
Doctor, you can run your charts and your theories all you want. In the field, this is how it works: the good guys, that's us. We chase the bad guys. And they don't wear black hats. They are, however, all alike: they demanded power and respect, and they're willing to pay top dollar to get it. And that is our highly motivated buyer.
Julia What about other motivations?
Julia Whether it's important to you or not. There are people out there who don't care about money, who don't give a damn about respect. People who believe the killing of innocent men and women is justified. For them, it is about rage, frustration, hatred... they feel pain and they're determined to share it with the world.
Okay, that does me no good. Now, let's deal with the facts at hand. 23 hours ago, General Alexander Kodoroff stole 10 nuclear warheads.
Julia He's just a delivery boy. I'm not afraid of the man who wants 10 nuclear weapons, Colonel. I'm terrified of the man who only wants one.
Who decided for my wife... my child, murdered? And for what? For what? For breathing? For smiling? And now, I'm left. Who decides for me?
Julia Mr Gavrich, what is it that you want?
I want it as it was...what it used to be
Sir, it's not our war.
Julia No-! [...and fires]
