- Aaron: Here's a good one. They allow us to have cameras at an execution in Florida. Do you broadcast tape of the guy in the chair when they turn on the voltage?
- Martin Klein: Sure.
- Jennifer Mack: Why not?
- Ernie Merriman: Absolutely.
- George Wein: You bet.
- Aaron: Nothing like wrestling with a moral dilemma, is there?
- Martin Klein: OK. What about this? Here's a tough ethical one. Would you tell a source that you loved them? Just to get some information?
- Aaron Altman: Yes.
- George Wein: Yes.
- Ernie Merriman: Me too.
- Jennifer Mack: Sure.
- George Wein: You bet.
- Aaron Altman: Jennifer didn't know there was an alternative.
- Aaron Altman: I think I better be alone for awhile.
- Ernie Merriman: I understand. I'll go with you.
- Aaron Altman: Thanks.
- Aaron Altman: Hi, Elli. Remember me? I've been to your house...
- Ernie Merriman: And Aaron was on that 14-day rafting trip we took.
- Elli: Oh, yeah...
- Aaron: It was raining... I had a hood on...
- Elli: Oh, yeah!

- Aaron: She remembers me!
- Aaron Altman: Ah, damn - those fucking jerks - they want to fire me.
- Ernie Merriman: All I know is that they got to fire a large number of people - and they're not even going by seniority. There's a recklessness in the air.
