Prudence Bushnell [on the phone]
No, you do not need a cease-fire to stop this hate-radio broadcast! Monsieur Bagasora, if you do not stop the killing there will be consequences.
CB Colonel Bagosora
Really? You will send the marines? We have no oil here, no dams, we have nothing you need in Rwanda; why would you come?
Prudence Bushnell If you do not stop the killings, I promise you that you will be held personally responsible.
CB Colonel Bagosora
I will see what we can do.
J Journalist
These rebels, are they Tutu or Hutsi?

J Journalist
Which ones are the good guys?
LQ Lionel Quaid
Prudence, our mission was not to intervene while the system functioned perfectly. A few years down the road, the President will ask for forgiveness and make the promise of "never again", but in terms of national interest we did everything right.
Prudence Bushnell We were loyal to a policy that allowed hundreds of thousands of people to be killed! As far as moral imperative, we did not do the right thing.
LQ Lionel Quaid
We're bureaucrats, not the political leadership.
Prudence Bushnell Is it because they're African?
LQ Lionel Quaid
Don't do that, Pru. It was Rwandans killing Rwandans.
