A scene from Three Days of the Condor 1975
Kathy

I'm scared!

Turner

So am I!

Kathy

Why? You've got the gun!

Turner

Yes! Yeah, and it's not enough. Listen. I work for the CIA. I'm not a spy. I just read books. We read everything that's published in the world, and we-- we feed the plots-- dirty tricks, codes into a computer, and the computer checks against actual CIA plans and operations. I look for leaks, new ideas. We read adventures and novels and journals. I-- I can-Who'd invent a job like that? I-- Listen! People are trying to kill me!

Kathy

Who?

Turner

I don't know, but there's a reason. There is a reason! And I just need some safe, quiet time to pull things together.

Kathy

Here.

Turner

Here.

Kathy

That's only fair.
